BIG EXHIBITS.

The exhibits at the county fair this
year promise to surpaSS anything ever
seen at one of our fairs before. When
we visited the grounds this fornOon
there were more exhibits entered than
is usual the forenoon of the first day.
We were informed that the space in
every barn and shed on the grounds was
spoken for, and that it would be nee
eSSary to put up tents. There are
many outside exhibitors of cattle,
hogs and sheep on The grounds, and
there is Keen competition. In fact
there is strong competition in all
lines. The poultry line is excellent.
There are a trio of White Orpington
chickens shown, raised from trio
which the owner paid 800 for. They
belong to an Amigo man. A feature
this year will be show of pet stock
in a department of its own. This
will include many fancy dogs.
When we were on the grounds the
agricultural hall was filling up, but
the threatening weather showed its
influence. From hurried inspection
we would say that exhibits of agri-
cultural products and stock will be
on an extended and improved scale.
The farmer has been fortunate with
his crops this year and there is no
reason why he should stay at home.
All of the available pike" space
has been sold, and both sides of the
driveway from near the eating shanty
to the grand stand are lined with all
kinds of fakirS. These all help to
make fair. The excursion tomor-
row will bring hundreds to the city,
and Thursday is always the big day.
The management hopes to break the
record for attendance.

VIM. Gaulke, aresident of the town
of Texas, has got into a mix-up with
the federal authorities and is held on
a charge Of forging the name of
another party and securing money on
a check which did not belong to him.
Working in the governments expert
mental paper-making plant in this
city is man of the name Frank
Gaulke. Recently a check for $3l.5
was mailed to him but VIM. Gaulke,
it is alleged, got The check. 1t is fur
ther alleged that the latter took the
check to the Marathon County bank
where he forged Frank Gaulke's name
to it, and received the face value of
it in money.
If these allegations are true, it will
be a very serious matter for Mr.
Gaulke, for Uncle Sam is a bad fell
low to fool with.
The complaint was made by a
representative of the government
who was sent here to trace the check,
and ascertain the identity of the
forger. The prosecution will be con-

Have Grave Garments Ready

In an account of the death, at the
age Of one hundred and four, OF Lucy
Hickey at Gloucester there appeared
the interesting item that she was
buried in shroud which she had
made for herself hdany years ago.
This may look strange to most peo-
ple,' said resident of the East side,
but not to the old-fashioned Jews.
I am sure that If you go through any
Of the tenement houses in this part
of the city you will find in the ma
jority Of homes the shrouds of all men
and women who are married. 1t is
an old custom to have the grave gar
1nents ready, and with some Of the
people 1t Is coneidered a shame not
to be properly provided in case of
death. The garments are usually of
fine texture and invariably hand
sewed.'"

Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Schwebs, resi-
dents at POI Arthur street, were
awakened Sunday at about mid
night by the squawkingof their chick
ems. A bright light was shining in
house near by and two parties were
seen to enter the house. Mr.. and
Mrs. SchwebS waited a few minutes
and presently two fellows were seen
to come out of the house, enter the
alley and walk towards the chicken
coop but were frightened away. They
ran to the house and the light went
out. Investigation next morning
showed that six chickens were miss
ing. Yesterday forenoon a police Off
Ger, acting upon information furnished
him by Mr.. Schwebs, made q search
Of the house to which suspicion had
been directed, and found kettle of
chickens on the stove. Rufus Fancher
and Frank Hauer were arrested and
appeared in Justice Larner's court
yesterday, where they entered pleas
OF guilty and were each fined $40 and
costs.
In running away from the chicken
coop the men broke down fence and

DEATH OF ]. B. PREGONT.

Joseph Pregont passed away on
Thursday morning at 1:30 O'Clock at
his home in this city. Mr.. Pregont
was young man who had lived here
most of his life. One day in June he
went home from his work sick with
what seemed to be chills. From that
time this condition kept up several
days in each week and the patient
kept growing weaker until his death.
He was confined to his bed nearly all
the time. He was born in Canada on
the 10th of June, 1883 and came TO
Wausau the following year with his
parents. The funeral services took
place from st. Mary's Catholic church
on Monday morning, Rev. P. l..
Casper officiating. Deceased leaves.
besides his parents, Mrs. Peter Gotchy
and Miss Manda Pregont and three
brothers, Dell, Albert and Frank.

Tho $13 Fine.

Courtrooms are not free from SUI
perstition," a lawyer remarked. For
instance, it seems to be an unwritten
law Of the bench that nobody shall
ever be fined $13. In my seventeen
years experience at the New York
bar l have seen offenders fined nearly
every other amount from 81 to $1,000,
but no Judge has ever defled fate by
imposing $13 fine.
Nothing but respect for supersti.
ton prevented him from doing it. It
was the logical fine. Several times I
have labored in the lost cause of IN
fortunate clients whose fine from the
standpoint Of damages inflicted should
have been $13, but the Judge had not
the hardihood to name It; he always
understood or overshot the mark and
made $12 or $14."

DOCTORS MEET.

The Marathon County Medical So
ciety held meeting in the club
mouse Friday evening, preceded by a
chicken pie supper served by the
ladles of st. James church. Drs.
Hickey of this city, Hayden of Roths-
chlld and Butler of Mosinee, were adj
united to membership. A special
committee was instructed to select a
date Tor the annual meeting Of the
state society, which will be held here.
Inc guest of the evening was DR..
Ihos. ii. Hay of Stevens Point, in
charge of the work in the sanitorium
known as ''The Pines" located near
that city. The doctor delivered an
address on Tuberculosis and the
Medical Profession"
lie claimed that Wisconsin stands
first among states in fighting the dis
ease. 1t is his contention that no
case OF tuberculosis is entirely hope
less, but that a patient, even if the
disease is far advanced, can be cured
II ne has the right kind of treatment
and the right kind of a physician
handling the case. To get the best
results he said that the physician
must be given absolute control of the
case, and his directions must be fol-
lowed explicitly. He advocated a
dietary program and said that rest
instead of exercise is what is needed
to build up the patient, as we'll as be-
ing IN the open air at all times.
The lecture was listened to with in
tereSt, for it came from man who
has had much experience in the treat
ment OF consumptives. Perhaps more
patients come under his care than of
any other doctor in Wisconsin, unless |
it be the one having charge of the
sanitorium near Wales.
He urged the society to make an
other effort to get the county to build |
a sanltorium, which would receive |
state aid under the provisions of the
new law. The county board turned !
down such proposition last winter |

GLASS CONFUSING TO THEM
Birds and Fish Do Not Easily Learn
That They Cannot Pene-
trate 1t.

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" of blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot.
Such an incident is not uncommon.
Birds have been known to fight for
hours at time, day after day, with
their own image reflected in a pane
Of glass, pecking and fluttering against
the pane and quite exhausting them
selves in their fury to demolish the
supposed rival It is another instance
of how the arts of our civilization
corrupt and confuse the birds. 1t Is
the same with fishes.
Darwin tells story of pike In an
aquarium separated by plate glass
from fish which were its proper food
In trying to get at the fish the pike
would often dash with such violence
against the glass as to be completely
stunned. 1t did this for more than
three months before it learned eau
ton. Then when the glass was re-
moved the pike would not attack
those particular fishes, but would de-
your others freshly introduced.
1t did not at all understand the sit
uation, but associated the punishment
1t had received not with the glass,
but with a particular kind of fish.
Darwins American monkeys proved
themselves more knowing" When
they cut themselves once with any
sharp tool they would not touch it
again or else would handle 1t with the
greatest caution.
Thus they gave evidence of the sim
pier forms of reason of which mon
keys are no doubt capable, but birds
are evidently lacking in reasoning
powers.-The Scotsman.

Saint Patrick, slave to Milcho of the herds
OF Bailymena, sleeping, heard these words;
"Arise and fee
Out from the land of bondage and be free"
Glad as n soul in pain, who hears from heaven
The angels singing of his sins forgiven,
And wondering, sees
His prison opening to their golden keys.
He rose a man. who laid him down slave.
Shook from his locks the ashes of the grave,
And outward trod
Into the glorious liberty OF God.
He cast the symbols of his shame away,
And passing where the sleeping Mileho lay,
Though back and limb
smarted with wrong, he prayed, "God pardon
him"
So went he forth; but IN Gods time he came
To light ON Uillines hills a holy flame;
And dying, gave
The land a saint that lost him as a slave.
o dark, sad millions. patiently and dumb
Waiting for God, your hour at last has come,
And freedoms song
Breaks the long silence of your night OF
wrong.
Arise and fee; shake of the vile restraint
OF ages; but, like Bally .nena's saint,
The oppressor spare.
Heap only on his head the Goals Of prayer.
Go forth like him; like him return again
To bless the land wherein in bitter pain
We toiled ut first,
And heal with freedom what your slavery
cursed.
