TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Twenty years ago last Tuesday was
big day in Wausau. On that day
the water reserve lands were thrown
open for settlement, homestead entry
being made at the government land
office in Wausau. This brought hun
dreds of people to the city, and every
hotel was SO crowded that every room
was occupied, cots were put up in
the parlor and Railways and in some
instances it was necessary to hang
guests on pegs for the night, The
old white frame court house was used
for land Office, the prospective home
steaders standing in line from the
Fourth street side of the county
square to wilere the county treasurer's
ctfice is now located. Louis Goetsch
of the town of Stettin headed the
line, which was formed forty hours
before the opening of the window.
Mark Bells was second in line, Angus
Mcdonald, Dan Healy, Hank O'Brien
and NJ. P. Beebee occupied positions
in the order given. Cornelia Mohr Of
Amigo was the only women in line,
occupying eighty-seyerth position. III.
G. Beverung received applications at
the window, while e. B. Sanders, now
deceased, handled the tract book, and
was assisted by Theo. Werle and AL.
Paff. Entries were made each day
for three days. Over 200 entries were
made, but many who came here went
home disguised, failing to get the
lands they sought. Gustav Mueller
was then mayor and he caused over
thirty men to be sworn in as special
policemen. Co. G was called out to
maintain order and patrolled the
county square with fixed bayonets.
The water reserve lands were set
apart by the River and Harbor bill OF
June Is, 1878, under direction of the
secretary Of war, to determine the
practibility and cost of maintaining
| reservoirs at the headwaters of the
Mississippi, St. Croix, Chippewa and
Wisconsin rivers, to regulate the vol
ume of water. Through an act passed
by congress, presented by Congress
man Myron McCord, the lands were
opened for settlement on the date
| above mentioned. The only lands
withheld was a quarter section of
what is now part of the city of Rhine
| lander. A sawnill, planning mill and
about thirty houses were located on
this land, and to avoid litigation
congress ordered that this land be
sold at public auction and the pro-
ceeds donated to the town of Pelican
| for educational purposes.
Much of the land opened for settle
ment was covered with growth of
virgin pine timber and was valuable,
some homesteads later bringing their
owners small fortunes. Squatters in
many instances settled on the claims
of entrymen, resulting in much liti-
| cation.

DISAPPOINTMENT.

The small boy, who makes it rule
at this time of the year to go from
one business house to another. in
search of calendar chromos of punches
Of roses and swan necked women wear
ing waists cut V shape at the collar,
has been sadly disappointed this year.
Few OF our merchants have given cut
calendars this season, and the number
has been dropping off yearly for several
years, which is not pleasant news for
the small boy. He don't like the
kind presented by the fire insurance
agents, because they have no pitchers"
on them and are common at best.
Several business firms have presented
customers with neat time reckoners
this month, among them the trust
company and the Business college.
We remember few years ago when
| one of our business houses gave out
an extra fine calendar, the news
spread like wild fire and il was not
long till there was line of people ex-
tending from the curb stone into the
building. 1t beat any rush for govern
ment lands you ever saw. But that
day has gone. The public played the
| game too strong.

A Spanish Ship Treasure.

In 1862 the largest bulk of treasure
ever taken from ship at sea was
brought into London. 1t was the whole
of the cargo of the Spanish ship Her
mione, captured on May q by II. M.
S. Active. The Hermione surrendered
to the Active without an action. and
the treasure was landed at Portsmouth
and conveyed to London in twenty dec
grated wagons, with British colors over
Spanish and an escort party of sailors.
The strange procession reached Lon
don on Aug. y, the day on which
George ". was born. On being sold
the treasure realized f519.705 Is. 3D.,
and the share of the officers and men
of the Active was as follows: The

Notice to Farmers.

| wish to inform you that
the new law requiring cattle
to be Tuberculine tested, from
and after December lst, 1910,
before sale can be made, does
not apply when cattle are to be
exported from the state or
slaughtered,
Any stock that is purchased
by me is bought for that pur-
pose, and if at any time, any of
the stock is withheld by me for
sale in this state, | will have
the same tested by a duly Ii
censed person at my own eX-
pense.
The farmer will therefore be
perfectly safe and not liable in
any way if he sells his stock
to me. 20"

Lured Into Bathing.

In a railway carriage chat the other
day a London medical man told a
good story which had come within
his own experience. A mother was
frequently bringing her child to him
for treatment. but the doctor could
discover nothing amiss except its need
of a good wash. She was certain the
infant was suffering from some terri
BILE complaint and begged the doctor
to do his best. He prescribed a daily
wash with the water in which pota-
toes had been peeled. Never sus-
pecting that this was merely a ruse
to get the child washed, the mother
followed the instructions to the let
ter Rosy cheeks appeared. and a
clean, healthy looking child gladdened
the mothers heart. She sounded the
doctors praises everywhere and ad-
vised other mothers to test the eff
cacy of potato water. 1t never oc-
Cured to her that precisely the same
result would have followed the daily
application of soap and water.

The lecture room of the Methodist
church block, Chicago, was filled to
its capacity on the night of December
18th with an earnest and attentive
audience listening to the description
of the resources and possibilities of
northern Wisconsin. Many finely col
ored stereopticon views of the farms,
mills, factories, public buildings and
scenery of Wisconsin were shown and
attracted great attention. In brief
way George Girling outlined the his
tory of the W rious scenes shown CIV
ing the experiences of some of the
farmers, the yield of crops, the
orchard returns, the output of the
factories and lumber mills, the Stats
tics of livestock for the state, and the
general development Of the various
counties in the northern part of the
state. After the meeting those pres
ent were invited to visit the perma-
nent exhibit CT Wisconsin's products
on display in large room in the same
building.
The work which the Wisconsin Adj
yancement Association is doing has
already resulted in the creation of a
public sentiment favorable to the
state, and the large Chicago news
papers are devoting columns of read
ing matter to this subject. With an
active continuation of the work dur
ing the winter it is reasonable to ex-
pect that thousands of new settlers
will be brought into the state.

Self Control

When Lieut. Gen. Arthur MacAr-
thur, speaking before the Society of
Colonial Wars, said that the people of
this country needed self-control, he
told the exact truth. The general
was speaking of the recent war scare
when he said:
"One of the least probable things in
our foreign relations is war with
any other nation, yet the public mind
is almost IN convulsions as result OF
war talk. While we are enjoying the
spontaneous good will of every coun-
try in the world, there is more war
talk in this country than in all the
rest of the world. A little self-control,
little reflection, will make it quite
apparent how absolutely ruinous it
will be in consequences if, on the oc-
casion of every trifiing episode, we
discuss seriously and eagerly the
possibility of its being a cause of war. "
There is probably no one better
qualified to speak on this subject than
the able soldier who lately led the
American forces in the Philippines.
A capable soldier in the civil war, a
participant in many Indian cam
paigns, the real captor of Manila, and
the civil and military governor of the
Philippines who brought the Tagalog
instruction to close; military OBJ
server of the apanese-RuSsian wal
from the japanese side, and a persona
friend of many of the highest Japan
csc officers, he probably knows more
about war, its causes and sufferings
than any man in this country. AnC
being close student of history an6
human nature he knows men anC
nations.
Therefore the generals remarks arr
to be taken as with authority. HI
knows what he is talking about.
But his text of Self-control need moi
be applied only to this foolish wal
scare. Sad to say, the people Of this
country have been flying off at tan
gents through lack of poise anC
self-control through what some phil
osopher has called thinking will
their mouths instead of with thei
brains-until afterwards.
Let us take the generals caution
home in what we might call per
sonally national sense Milwaukee,
News.

Jury Penalties.

Nowadays no penalty is enforced
when the Twelve men chosen to form
the jury are unable to agree upon a
verdict. Formerly, however, re-
fractOry juryman was committed to
prison and the verdict of the eleven
was taken. In the reign of King Ed
ward III. the judges decided that a
verdict given by a majority was a
nullity and recommended that the
judges should carry the jury about
with them in cart till they should
agree. The old custom that jurors
should fast until they had agreed in
their verdict prevailed long, but was
mercifully relaxed somewhat in Tu-
dor times. and during Queen Eliza
beth's reign a banquet was usually
given to the jury by the successful
party to suit.-St Paul Pioneer
Press.

Christians In Old Rome.

Religious persecution as such was
unknown under the Romans. The
Christians were regarded as seditious.
In denying the divinity of the Gaze
sars and the Roman gods they were
guilty of high treason in Roman eyes
and were accordingly punished But
their punishment had no religious sig
nificance whatever. The Christians
were prosecuted not because they were
Christians. but because, in the opinion
of the authorities. they were disturb
ers of the peace and safety Of the
state. Religious persecution was
thought that never entered the Roman
mind.-New York American.

Not What he Scanned.

Lieutenant General j. NJ Grierson
tells an amusing story of some maneu
vers in which he took part. Only
small body of troops were being ac-
tually employed. and skeleton forces"
were the rule-in other words. small
bodies of men represented whole divi-
sions. General Grierson with his staff
was riding along a lane when he sud
denly came upon one OF the enemy's
pickets sitting calmly by the roadside.
Quickly the general rode up to him and
said:
''You are my prisoner; you had better
surrender"
The man grinned and pointed to
flag beside him.

Science and Cheese.

A medical authority kindly assures
US that as long as cheese isn't decay
ed it will not affect the health of the
consumer. This is fact that we have
suspected for a considerable time. But
how is the ordinary cheese epicure to
detect the difference unless he waits
for results?
There is cheese so thoroughly dis
gdised in the costume and aroma of
decay that its proper standing on the
sanitary testing table would puzzle a
conjurer.
For instance. there is the brand
known as limburger.
But why pursue the subiect?-Cleye-

ANOTHER holocaust has occurred in
Chicago in which thirty brave fire.
men lost their lives including Fire
Marshal James Koran, one Of the
best fire fighters of our country. The
holiday season seems to be fated in
Chicago. 1t was during the time
when all were in the midst of the
holiday enjoyments when the
Iroquois fire occurred and so many
lost their lives. The fire on Thurs
day was first discovered at $3.50 o'clock
a. m. and started from the explosion
of the ammonia pipe, in the Nelson
& Morris Co.'s plant. This threatened
the stockyard district. BY ten o'clock
the loss in money was $3.50, 900 and of
life thirty fremen. The firemen, by
hard work, confined the flames to
warehouses, the tallow house and
minor buildings. The men were
killed by being caught under falling
walls.
