made an appointment under condi-
ton that he must be given 100000.
Others who have held high offices
have been arrested charged with
grave offenses. Verify, that county
goes hand in hand with Vermillion
county, Ill.

play window mounted eagle, the
prize of Wausau hunter. 1t is what
is known as the black eagle species
and was captured on Rib hill last fall.
A boy by the name Peneau was hunt
ing on the hill one day in the season
mentioned and saw the bird roosting
on the limb of dead tree. He shot
the eagle and broke a wing. After
it fell to the ground he had quite
time extinguishing it's life, the bird
putting up great fight. The beak
and claws of this bird indicate that
when in life it was formidable adj
versary.

Sponsler brought party of seven stud
entS up into this territory about the
first of last December for the purpose
of showing to them the practical side
of numbering operations and manu-
featuring. The party came to Wau-

overwork, is said to be the cause of
the professors act.
