SOLD 80 1872 STAMPS.

Mrs. w. A. Green of the health
committee Of the Ladies' Literary
club, reports 32,162 number of
Red Cross Christmas stamps or
seals was sold in Wausau prior to
and during the holiday season. This
is about double the number sold a
year ago, and means that Wausau
contributed S321.62 towards the fight
against tuberculosis. The club did
not enter the work to win one of the
several prizes offered, but with the
object of receiving fifty per cent of
the money for home fight against
the disease. st. Mary's porochial
school, on the other hand, worked
for one of the prizes.
The sale this year was conducted in
a systematic way, which resulted in
the increased revenue. Most every
business house bought more or less Of
the seals, and some pasted them on
nearly everything that went out of
their store.
Mrs. Green expects to get report
from Milwaukee in about week
relative to the sales throughout the
state, and Wausau's comparative
standing.

HIS FIRST INTERVIEW.

John Dietz has given out the fol-
lowing which he says is the first in
teryiew coming from him:
"While many reports have been pub
lished and statements credited to me,
l desire to say this is the first inter
view given out as a signed statement
and / ask the press to give it space.

but throughout the land, sympathy is
expressed and desire to see justice
done is uppermost in the minds of the
people. 1t is readily understood that
to obtain fair and impartial trial,
means must be had so our cases can
be properly presented to the jury.
Many people desire to aid, and at
their earnest solicitation l have con
sented to take charge of the general
defense fund of the country and those
who desire can make their conhibu-
tions direct to me at Cameron Dam
Wis, or reach me by letter at that
place.

money viii reach the family theT
they will feel more like contributing.

THE LEAGUES HEAD.

1t appears now as if some sporting
editor will be the next president Of
tie NV. base ball league. There
are three candidates: Frank E. Force
of the Minneapolis Tribune; j. Ritchie
of The Minneapolis Journal; Frank
Barton of the st. Paul News. The
former appears to be the choice of
most clubs, because he is favorable to
the lezgue IL it nov stgnas. Ritchie
is being pushed by Mike Cantillon,
owner of the Minneapolis team of the
American association, and club owners
in this league believe that Cantillon
has some covered object in view in
doing SO. 1t may be that be would
like to use this league as feeder and
farm for his own team. Barton does
not appear to stand six spot high with
the other clubs outside Of Duluth and
Superior, because of his attitude to-
ward the smaller cities. He is advocat-
ing tie formation of new league, to
include the cities of Duluth, Superior,
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Fargo and
Winnipeg. The people of Eau Claire
are pushing the claims of Henry
Davis, president of the club of that
city, but it appears that the represen-
tatives of Wausau, La Crosse, Red
Wing, Rochester and Winona will
vote for Frank Force. Mr.. Force, as
his name implies, is an energetic
young man, who has been connected
with sports all his life. He has at
tended several meetings of this league,
and those who know him personally
believe he will make head worthy of
the name. All clubs except those at
the head of the lake are sorry to lose
the services of John Elliott, who has
been an excellent official.

CALLED BY DEATH.
Mrs. Peter Van Vechten, Jr., Of Mil
waukee Passes Away on Wednesday.

Mrs. Peter Van Vechten, Jr., of
Milwaukee, mother of P. V. o. Van
Vechten of this city, died on Wednes-
day morning, Jan. 18th, 1911, at her
home in Milwaukee in the SD year of
her age. OF her death the Evening
Wisconsin contained the following:
death came quietly, after long
period of falling alth. Though it
long owing to heart trouble, there was
no immediate apprehension, since she
had spent Tuesday in the family Sit
ting roori with her husband. This
morning she slept quietly away.
The death of Mrs. Van Vechten re-
moves one of MilWaukee's early set
tiers. Born in April, 1929, in Sandy
Hill, y. y, she moved with her par
ents, when a child, to Chagrin Falls,
near Cleveland, o. In 1850 she came
TO Milwaukee to be with sister, Mrs.
j. NJ. Lawrence. 1t was during this
visit that Peter Van Vechten, Jr.,
met Miss Bancroft, and the courtShip
followed which resulted in their mar
riage in her Cleveland home in 1854
For two years the home at 522 Jeffer-
son street, had been awaiting her, and
in the same house their entire married
life was passed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Vechten had five
children, of whom three survive
James B. Van Vechten, Detroit: p.
V. o. Van Vechten, Wausau, Wis,
and Mrs. Annie Van Vechten Kenyon
of Kingston, n. Y"
Mr.. and Mrs. p. V. O. Van Vechten
went to Milwaukee on Wednesday

POSTOFFICE AT MERRILL
L Looks as if the Fight Wss Going to
be Continued Indefinitely.

The following from the Journal of
Amigo, the home of Congressman
Morse, looks as if the postofBce fight
at Merrill was to be kept up:
Congressman Morse arrived home
yesterday from Washington to spend
several days. Congress adjourned for
two weeks and Mr.. Morse took tie
opportunity to come up to look into
the matter of the Merrill postmaster
ship appointment. The recommends
tion made by President Taft during
the recess has not yet been sent into
the senate, and it seems quite likely
that Mr.. Morse will yet be able to
name the man that is to get the posi-
tion. Mr.. Morse recommended G. n
johnson some time ago, but the presi-
dent at that time ignored the recon-
mendation and made another appoint
ment. Mr.. Morse has taken the
matter up since with Postmaster
General Hitchcock, and he has prac-
tically given him to understand that
whoever he names will get the ap-
pointment, so that the present incum-
bent Z. w. Kubasta will soon have to
retire. Mr.. Morse does not know
whom he shall recommend, as Mr..
johnson does not desire the appoint
ment now. Delegations were here
yesterday and today IN the interest
of different parties, and it is probable
that Mr.. Morse will soon make his
recommendation.

VISITS RELATIVES.

E. NJ. Kretow of Eau Claire spent
the past week in Wausau. Mr.. Kret-
low is a brother of E. @. Kretlow Of
this city and has three children here,
Emil Kretlow and the Mesdames Ed.
Ringle and Frank Anderson. He
has been a resident of Wausau
at three different times. Mr..
Kretlow at one time organized and
led band here and at the present
time has an organization in Eau
Claire. The last time he resided here
was sixteen years ago. At that time
he conducted a cigar mandatory
and Columbia park. After living
here three months his wife died sud
denly and he moved to Milwaukee.
He still has a love for Wausau and
says that he may move back here
some time. He is one of five brothers,
all cigar makers. His father, f. G.
Kretlow was a musician, and was
leader Of one of the first, if not the
first, bands that was organized in this
city, or village as it was then. That
was nearly half a century ago.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Farmers Institutes were held the
past week in the villages of Edgar,
Unity and town of Plover on Thurs
day and Friday. At each it is re-
ported that there was fairly good
representation of farmers. The first
mentioned was conducted by w. F.
Stiles of Lake Mills, assisted by NJ
yMichels of PEBBLES; A. r. Hirst of
Madison; G. E. Matteson of Pewaukee
and Geo. McKerrow of Madison. The
program covered most everything
which farmer meets in the way of
difficulties on his place, as did also
the programs in the other two insti-
tutes mentioned. Connected with
the institute in Edgar, a cooking
school was conducted by Miss Ethel
Fenton of Neenah. Her program of
cooking for the two days was as
follows:
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Sanitation and Home Nursing Miss Fenton
Corn ChOwder
Macaroni with Cheese Pork Loaf with Apples
Baking Powder Bread Oatmeal Drop Cakes
Cocoa
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Fish Croquettes Hollandaise Sauce
o.. Berry Puffs
Coffee
The information given the house
wives in regard to the above was
heartily received, for the dishes are
those used very commonly in farm
houses miles away from market places,
where the chatting dish is not con-
sidered as a necessary household
utensil. 1t is reported that the
farmers of that locality have since
been living on the above dishes.
The institute in village of Unity
was conducted by w. G. Bradley of
Hudson, assisted by Fred Stubley of
Black Earth, Geo. f. Comings of Eau
Claire; A. r. Hirst OF Madison; B. G..
Pacher Of Withee and w. A. McKer-
row of Fewaukee.
At the town of Plover the inSti-
tute was in charge of E. Nordman of
Polar, assisted by l. P. Martiny of
Chippewa Falls and Thos. Convey of
Ridgeway.
At each of these Institutes farmers
bulletins were passed around freely,
and interest in the meetings was
manifested by the discussions entered
into.
