A HOME CONCERN.

A newly organized concern with
headquarters in Wausau is known as
the Rothschild Electric Metal & Glass
Polish Co. The concern is made uI
and financed by Wausau men entirely
1t has not been doing business very
long, but the prospects are that in
time it will develop into quite an in.
stitution. The company manufac.
lures polish which is composed OF
products found in this county. This
polish is put up in three forms-p paste,
powder and liquid. The main sub
stance which enters into them was a
chance discovery, followed by expert
mentS.
The supposition is that at one time
Rib hill was not hill, but was COM
pletely submerged in water. AS the
water receded ponds were left in
crevices and depressions and in time
plant life sprung up followed by in
sect life. Moses were formed which
fed the insect and these moss beds, by
microscopic examination, show the
presence of millions of what were
once insects. After their death their
skeleton forms, through exposure TO
the elements, turned into a silica, and
an examination of moss beds near the
hill show large deposits of this silica.
The thought struck the discoveries
that possibly this material might be
converted into a polish. Samples
were sent TO some of the best chem
lists in the country with the result
that all gave it as their opinion that
nothing has yet been discovered that
will equal it for this purpose.
This resulted in those interested
getting busy and forming company
of home people. The gentlemen in
terested expect the patronage of
home people so that another industry
can be placed here permanently. The
company has been importuned TO lo-
cate with nickle plate works in other
cities. Two large concerns have made
the company very fiattering offers, but
its members prefer to remain here.
The polish manufactured by this
concern will brighten up anything in
the line of metal, glass, enamel ware,
tile, tables, hardwood floors, in fact
anything with a smooth or delicate
surface. One of the stockholders re-
marked to us that it would be an ex-
cellent article for some of Wausau's
sinners TO remove the black spots from
their character.
So far, the success of the company
looks bright and we trust that it will
grow into one of our leading firms.
There is an abundance of the raw ma
terial right here at home, and dem
onStration of the merits of the manu-
featured article will be given to any
one interested. You can learn more
about the concern and its product by
calling on III. L. Bardeen at the
Northern hotel.

SENATOR JAS. STOUT, one of the
best known men in the state, passed
away at his home in Menomonie last
Thursday morning. With his passing
Wisconsin loses one of its foremost
citizens, Dunn county its best friend
and the educational interests of the
state one of its best benefactors.
Though only fifty-two years of age he
had accomplished more in that time
than most men perform in life time.
He was member of the lumber firm
of Knapp, Stout & Co., and he was
one of the few wealthy men who have
no enemies. Wealth had no attraction
for him for his own sake. He origin
ated, established and maintained at
his own expense a travelling library
system for Dunn county. He built at
his own expense manual training
school for boys and girls. This burned
and later he erected another at per-
sonal expense of 100000. He placed
l.. ID. Harvey at the head of this and
paid out of his own pocket all the ex-
pense of maintenance. This school
now has an enrolment of 375 students
representing all sections of the coun-
try. He built central high school
for one township and hired teams to
haul the children to school. He was
leader in the good roads movement
and built many miles of good roads in
his home county at his own expense.
He erected gymnasium and natator-
ium at an expense of $4,000. In the
educational development of Menom-
onie he spent upward of 5000, 900, and
all benefactions were made so quietly
that few people realize the magma
nimity of the man. He had many pro-
jectS in view to be carried out for the
improvement Of conditions, which
only awaited the cooperation of his
fellow citizens. He was elected to the
state senate in 1894, receiving 1928
votes to his opponents LAOS. There
after he was reelected three times,
always without opposition, which
speaks we'll of his character. In the
senate he. was the leader in legislation
for the development of libraries, for
the promotion of agriculture, the
conservation of natural resources, the
improvement of highways, the eStab-
liShment of public park system and
many other lines of advancement in
addition to education. All the people
of Dunn county mourn him, and we'll
they may. Flags were placed at half
mast on all public buildings and
schools were closed. Gov. Davidson
and other state officials attended the
funeral.

ACCORDING to returns made by the
federal, census department, Wiscon-
sins census is 2,S33,S $50 an Increase of
264, 8i8 persons la ten ys%. or 12.7
per cent. The state hagood rased
2,302,9l5 since the first census was
taken in 1910. Wisconsin now ranks
thirteenth in population among the
states. Including our foreign possess
ions Uncle Sans population is now
101, 100000 The state of Washing
ton has made the biggest increase OF
any state in the union, its increase in
the past ten years being 1904 per
cent. 1t is thought that it will be
necessary to alter the basis of repre-
sentation to congress. The ratio at
present is one representative for
every 1874, 200 people. At this ratio
the present number of congressman,
1872, would be increased to Ala. The
latter number, it is thought, would
prove unwieldy.

Next Monday is the day set by law
for the beginning Of the collection of
taxes. The tax roll is not as yet in
the hands of the city treasurer and
there may possibly be some delay in
placing it there. The clerk, in COM
piling the list, has more work than
does a woman with nine children.
There is not only the general tax TO
figure, but there is sewer, macadam,
sprinkling and SNOW shoveling taxes
TO figure into the roll. While the city
treasurer is making the collection of
taxes he must furnish bond in the
sum of $50, 600 to protect the county
in handling its part of the money.

TO PREACH TUBERCULO-
Sis ON SUNDAY, DE-
GENDER IS.
Wisconsin Pastors Asked to Help
Crusade Against Consumption and
Christmas Seal Campaign.

Next Sunday, Dec. Is, has beer
designated as tuberculosis Sunday in
Wisconsin and every pastor is being
urged to speak of the crusade against
consumption and the present Christ
mas seal campaign, whereby the
crusade is fna need, on that day.
Many ministers in Milwaukee and
elsewhere have offered to devote their
sermons entirely to tuberculosis.
Christmas seals have taken Wiscon-
sin by storm and in many places the
sale is larger than last year. Other
towns, however, are holding off and
thus lowering the average for the
state. While the sale is as good as
last year, it will take great effort to
keep Wisconsin at the head of the
list because at least twice as many
seals must be sold in this state to ac-
complish this.
The prize competitions are not
bringing the response they deserve.
Although local campaign managers,
patriotic citizens who are giving their
time and labor to the cause, are work
ing hard, they are not receiving the
support needed.
Seals used on mail matter should
not be pasted on the address side, but
on the reverse. 1t should be remem-
bered that. the use of seals is not con-
fined to mail matter. They should
be stuck on anything from a package
of needles to a locomotive. One
woman's club hes sent out children
with seals to put one next TO every
spit mark on the sidewalks. This is
a splendid protest against the filthy
habit which in itself is responsible
for the spread of consumpti0n.
Merchants in many plactss are offer
ing numerous prizes Tor local COM
petitions among children and older
people in order to stimulate interest
in the big prizes offered By the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association
and the campaign in general. Socials
and entertainments are being held in
other places and the Christmas seals
are used to buy admission. Only
little more than a week remains be
fore the end of the campaign, Deem
Der 24th. and everyone should buy
seals now.
