PARISIAN SAGE is rigidly guar

ating hair dressing that puts life and
brilliance into the hair and causes it
to grow if the hair root be not dead.

INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE.

On the evening of October q, a
very instructive lecture will be given
in the NJ. e. church. 1t will be a
demonstration of Radium, Liquid Air
and the Wireless Telegraph, by Prof.
VIM. B. Patty. All three Of these
are subjects of great interest and are
so rapidly revealing new secrets that
one can hardly keep up with the
progress of their development. About
$50 seats will be reserved and will be
sold for so cents each. General ad-
mission will be thirty-five cents, and
all public school pupils will be ad-
mitted for twenty-five cents.

might be destroyed. On Tuesday
afternoon last all of the gates were
opened and were kept open, but logs
and drift wood filled the sluiceways
AIT, again backed up the water. 1t
was wedged in so hard that the men
who have since been working to re-
lease it find that they have q job on
their hands. On Saturday morning
the water was flowing over the east
bank and down through the mill
yard, cutting ravines, undermining
foundations, ETC., and it was clearly
perceptable that some heroic meas
ures must be taken, or the entire
plant would be destroyed. A hur-
ried consultation among some of the
principal stockholders resulted in the
decision that the most advisable plan
was to blow out the west bank and
let the water escape in that way.
About twenty charges of dynamite
were put in the loose sand and gravel
and touched off. When the water
once got a start it was not long in
cutting a channel and the washing
out of the west bank has been going
on night and day ever since, until
now there is a channel west of the
dam of perhaps 250 feet in width.
1t will take much work and material
to fill the gap, but the opening of the
bank was all that saved the entire
destruction of the plant.
The water washed away the foun-
dation under the big boilers Friday
night, allowing some of the boilers to
settle, breaking a steam pipe and
scalding three men.
All night Friday about $50 men
worked like beavers to keep the water
out of the mill, but their efforts were
unavailing. Many of the rooms were
filled with water and sand and at
present there is sand to the depth of
several feet in some of them. The
company lost about 100000 feet of
logs and spruce bolts. When these
came down river they knocked many
of the stony piers over.
The water system in the village,
which is operated from the mill, has
been out of commission since the
closing of the latter and the people
we're forced to go back to wells for
their water supply.
Water and sand got into the electric
plant, and there is little likelihood
that the generators and some of the
other expensive machinery can be
saved. In this department-the light
and electrical power Of the company
was generated. The machinery is
delicate and like a Kentuckian will
not stand water.
| 1t is said that the sight presented
at the paper mills Friday and Satur-
day nights, was one long to be re-
membered. Few people have hereto
fore had the opportunity of seeing so
much water flowing here, there and
everywhere and working destruction
at the same time.
The loss to the company will be
considerable and at present it is inn
possible to correctly estimate it. 1t
is almost certain that not a wheel
win turn in the mill before the sum-
mer of 1912. 1t is quite likely that
as soon as the water recedes that
crews will be put to work making re-
pairs and alterations. Suggestions
have been offered by outsiders per-
tanning to protection for the com
pany's interests in the future. One
Of these is that a dixie be built
from the river eastward above the
mill. This would in measure keeI

The following item taken from the
Jefferson Banner throws light as to
where the type was brought from to
start the first paper in Wausau-
Central Wisconsin: "W. Fl. Tousley
started campaign paperin this town
in 1856 under the name of the Jeffer-
son County Republican. The mater
ial of that Office was taken to Wausau
in 1851 by j. W. Chubbuck, who start
ed the Central Wisconsin. The Cen
tIal was destroyed by fire in 1861. :"
THAT accounts for there being no files
of the paper from 1859 to 1868 or until
the time r. III. Johnson took charge.

A HARDSHIP.

The government wiped out the
postoffices at Chat, Birch, Kickbusch,
Foss, Rock Falls and Cotter, all in
Lincoln county on Oct. 1st and now
the farmers in that section have to
go from five to seven miles to get
their mail. H. Graunke who was in
the city Wednesday says that it is a
great hardship upon all living up that
way. The government has established
rural route covering little of the
territory but it would be necessary to
establish another to give any relief.

She caught her breath in a great
sob. Turning little, she clasped her
own young arms around his neck and
held him tight.
It was long time after that be-
fore either of them spoke. Finally,
Jeanne asked a question.
"But, why" her voice broke in an
unsteady little laugh, "but why do you
ask to be forgivenf You told me the

"And yet" he began after awhile,

She laid her fingers on his lips.

Not now, not tonight. But there's
something more to say. Philip, 1t

She heard sound in his throat
that might have been sob. though it
seemed meant for laugh, and she
felt his arms tighten about her with
a sudden passion that almost hurt. So
she said no more, just kissed him and
lay still.
II was good while after that that
she made a move to release herself.
Let me go now," she said, "and I'll
get you some supper. or breakfast, or
whatever we decide to call it-only
you'll have to go down into the ice

strength, towering like a falcon. All
