THE PORTLAND MARKETS

Receipts for the week were
1878 cattle; q calves; 1884 hogs;
6619 sheep and 68 horses.
The cattle market started the
week with a draggy condition.
The buyers were somewhat slow
in taking hold. The steer mar
ket shows an advance of 10 to
Is but killers claim that quail
ity considered, the market was
about steady at the former
weeks prices. The steer market
lacked tone throughout and the
cow market did not show a snap
py condition. Good cows sold
for as much money as they did
the week before but there was a
slower clean up. There were
not enough calves of good quail
ity on the market to show the
price condition. Bulls sold at
strong prices.
The hog market closed this
week at about 15c lower than
the week previous, tops going at
6.85. A good part of the sup
plies were made UP from local
territory.
In face of increased receipts
the sheep market showed a high
er range of values, a great part
of the supply was feeder quality,
but lambs or anything that look
eb like mutton brought advanced
prices and the demand was not
supplied for killable mutton.

Illness of several months. Though
ailing in the fall, he went into the

WORRIES DID THE WORK.

-Four men and a woman arrived
here Wednesday for the purpose o-
cleaning all the feather pillows in
this city. Before coming here they
bad operated in Chippewa Falls and
it appears, worked their game to per
lection in that city before the author
tiles were onto it. 1t seems that in
every job which they undertook they
substituted inferior feathers for the
ones removed. The authorities OF
this city were notified of their COM
ing and when they arrived they were
told to move elsewhere, which they
did. 1t is said that they billed their
stuff TO Oconto.
Sheriff O'Connor notified the Chip
pewa county authorities as to where
they might find the feather people,
if wanted, and we learn that they
were arrested Thursday and taken
back to Chippewa Falls.
1t is believed by local authorities
that they did not intend to operate
here, but merely stopped off to re-
bill their goods, so as to throw the
Chippewa county officers off their
trail.
1t appears that it was mostly we'll
TODD people they worked. Their
game was to enter a house and solicit
work. If none was forthcoming they
would ask to look at the pillows in
the house, to determine the condition
of the feathers. Ripping open one
corner, by some feat of legerdemain
they would cause several worms to
drop out. They also exhibited bot
ties of worms which they claimed
they had removed from feathers in
other Chippewa Falls homes. The
game worked fine, and after the
worms were shown there was no
trouble in getting the work.

When Joseph Dessert of Mosinee,
one of the Wisconsin river pioneer

death, which occurred in Milwaukee
short time ago, the value of his es-
tate, according to his will, which has
been filed for probate in that county,
was only $4,000. 1t is understood.
however, that some time prior to his
death Mr.. Dessert transferred a large
share of his estate 10 Lis daughter.
Mrs. H. NJ. Thompson.
The greater share of his estate of
$4,000 was given to relatives. The

Stockholders of the Wausau Telephone
Company to be Held This Evening.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Wausau Telephone
company will be held this evening in
the supervisors room of the court
house. Reports will he read, showing
the business OF the past year and a
board of directors elected for the en-
SUR 1t will be the most inn
portant session since Che organization
of the company for the reason that
the matter of the erection of new
fire proof building will be considered.
The plans for the new building will
be there for examination and the
question as to how to finance the
proposition will be up for considera-
tion.
The Wilson property, comprising a
quarter of block, north of the post
office, was purchased with the view
of using a part on which to place this
building. At the last annual meet
ing of the company the directors
were instructed TO go ahead and put
up building for the plant and one
that would be a credit to the city.
While every effort possible has been
made to go ahead with the project,
it was found that at best nothing
could be done until next spring.
Orders for plans were given to Van
Ryn & Degelke, architects, of Milwau-
kee, and they are now ready. They
show three story building 34x80 to
be built of the same material as that
used in the Wisconsin Valley Trust
building. The south side of the
building will be on the north line of
the post office grounds. Owing to the
importance of the meeting, every
stockholder should make an effort to
be present The meeting is at s

J. DEWITT MILLER.

A fair sized audience greeted j. De-
Witt Miller last Wednesday evening
at the opera house, when he spoke
under the auspices of the Y. Nj. c. A.
He was introduced by NJ. w. Sweet.
The speaker, upon walking to the
middle of the stage, announced his
topic, 'Reveries of a Bachelor, !"
which he said would deal with Love,
Courtship and Marriage. Being a
bachelor himself, he said people might
reasonably presume and say that he
knew nothing about these subjects,
to which he might answer by telling
a story. Prof. Phillips once wrote an
article on slavery, to which southern
preacher took exceptions, saying that
inasmuch as the writer had never
lived in country where slavery
existed, he knew nothing of slavery.
Meeting the preacher one day, and
the subject being brought up, Phillips
said: "Are you preacher ?" "Yes."
"Do you believe in hell % eyes"
'Ever live there 2" mo" 'Eyer
visit there ?' "No." The inference
drawn is plain.
Mr.. Miller's talk, summed up, was
that everyone should be married, if
they are fitted for it. That the ties
of home and woman'S influence work
for the betterment of man. That a
woman's place is in the home, and
not in the factory. Every man should
be bread winner, and every woman
should know how to bake the bread
of flour bought with her husbands
money. A mans weak point is his
stomach, and woman, if she is a
good cook, can usually cultivate an
acquaintanceship with her husband
by preparing good meals for him. A
young married man came home one
day and found his wife in tears, and
asking her what was the matter, she
replied by saying, II made some
splendid dumplings for you, and while
II was absent from the room Fido ate
Them" The young husband said
"Neyer mind dear, we can purchase
another dog"
The devotion of Maj. Mckinley for
his wife; of Mrs. Gladstone for her
husband; of Queen Victoria for her
family, of Mrs. Gore for the blind
senator of Oklahoma, were held
up as standards to follow. In closing
he pleaded for better training for
children. Instead of boys being out
on the streets nights cultiyating
habits which ultimately lead them to
physical and mental wreck, and girls
travelling the byways and sowing the
seeds which lead to their ruin, they
should be under the watchful eyes of
their parents he said

JUMP SAVED HIN.

Theodore Miller, farmer living in
the town of Easton had an accident
on East hill Thursday which might
have resulted fatally to himself or
team, but for presence of thought,
and pretty quick thinking at that.
He was bringing a load of logs to the
city and while going down the hill
the horses were unable to hold the
load back. He turned the horses to
one side and jumped off the load.
The load was tippec over, the binder
chains broke and the logs were scat
tered over the hill. Had he re-
manned on the load there IS little
doubt but what the PILoT might
have been called upon to chronicle
his death in this issue.

WILL HELP FARMERS.

Assemblyman A. J. Plowman, Mar
athon county, is working on bill by
which the state will become the own
er and operator OF stump pulling
machines in his and adjoining coun-
les. Thousands of acres of good
farming land are undeveloped because
settlers have no way of clearing it,,
and Assemblyman Plowman believes
it is good chance for the state to
use its funds to promote the agricuI-
tural interests. His plan embraces
repayment by the settlers when land
becomes productive. Engines and
machinery are used for stump pulling
and piling but they are too costly for
settlers to buy. Madison State Journ-
