TO REFORM COUNTY FAIRS.

In another attempt to stop all forms
of gambling at county fairs and to
make this purely agricultural, Secreta-
ry of State Frear has sent communica-
tions to the secretaries of the asSocia-
tions calling their attention to certain
provisions of the laws. The state
may, if so inclined, withhold aid
guaranteed under certain conditions
from offending fairs. Mr.. Frear re-
minds the officers that ALI IMMORAL
shows are prohibited.
This will cut deep into the receipts
of some fairs, which in the past have
relied on "Little Eva" shows and
shell games to bring the crowds. The
fairs again succeeded at this legisla-
ture in defeating the bill which would
have given the state power to send
inspectors to the grounds to see that
mo immoral shows were given or in
'toXicating liquors sold. But Mr..
Frear intimates that he will use his
own counsel when the time comes to
distribute aid.
AS further incentive to making
the fairs of greater interest TO farmers,
the proportion of aid has also been
changed so that the state will not be
a party to paying large purses for
speed programs as has been the prac-
tice in the past. These moneys will
go to agricultural, industrial, and
educational EXHIBITS.

are not for the ignorant and un-
trained.
Comparatively speaking, our girls
are doing pretty well since the girl
graduates outnumber the boys seven
to one. In all schools except the
highest, they greatly outnumber the
b0ys.s II this continues we shall be
driven to women suffrage in defense
of the nation, to offset class ignorance
of the men by the intelligence and
virtue of enlightened womanhood.
What career will there be for the
boys if they are not educated ? Over
work and under pay will be their pOr
tion. They cannot succeed even if
they remain farmers. Wisconsin, a
young state of great natural fertility,
is far behind New York, an old state
with soil naturally inferior and much
longer used, in the production of agri-
cultural staples, and the discrepancy
grows every year. There is urgent
demand for young men, trained in
the science of agriculture and farm
management, at salaries from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty dol
lars month, and the farmers boys
are not prepared to fill these places.
Modern scientific agriculture is a
profession, one of the learned profess
siOns, with great honors and rewards
for those who will prepare for it with
the same care and thoroughness that
is given to the other professions.
Why are not the country boys in
school? Because they are wanted on
the farm to work, or are allowed to
hang around the customary loating
places. Sometimes they feel too big
after reaching the age of IA or Is, to
go to school, or they dislike to be
controlled by a girl. They find no
agreeable companionship in the school
and the work is not attractive. What
is needed is a more enlightened inter-
est on the part of the parents, and
larger schools with more advanced
courses. This can be had with con-
solidated districts, and, if necessary,
transportation of pupils. In these
might be developed country high
schools equipped to prepare for
richer and more enjoyable country
life. Lastly, there is needed an edu-
cational campaign that will enlist
the cooperation of every intelligent

EXAMINATION SOON.

Tony Imperio and Frank Roberti
will be taken to Eagle River from
the Marathon county Jail some time
this week, to answer to the charge of
murder. Since they killed Sheriff
John Radcliffe, three weeks ago, it
appears that the feeling against these
men has not died, and it is hard tell
ing what the consequences may be, in
taking them to the upstate town.
There is one thing certain, that both
are to have long term of imprison-
ment. Imperio, no doubt, will get a
life sentence, and it is possible that
neither one will stand trial. There
is belief that both will confess their
guilt, and receive sentence shortly.
Fred Papeneau, who assisted the two
in escaping from Rhinelander, has
been held for trial in one thousand
dollar bonds. Maude Haines of Ash
land, who was brought to Rhineland-
er by the first named Italians, is also
held as chief witness against them.

M. Short of Albion, brother-in-law
of Geo. and Willis Silverthorn, gave
us call yesterday.
The editor of the PILOT and his
family took a trip to Marathon Sun
day. He spoke of passing the ruins
of B. Singles mill which was burned
a year or more previous; of the nice
farms in the town of Stettin; of stop
ping at the Linder house in Mara
thon. Everybody was at church and
there were those who had come 10
and Is miles to be present at the
new church. Father Spitzelberger
we judged was an able and eloquent
speaker. After the meeting he met
many of Marathon's leading men, and
said Marathon has its advantages
and disadvantages. Its advantages
are a good water power, line timber
and plenty of stone quarries. Its
disadvantages are only the the diff
Guilty of access to the place. The To-
cation was selected by a company
in Pittsburgh, Pa, and it is a grow
ing village. We took dinner with P.
W. Shields at his farm three miles
west. Here we found a beautiful
place, there being about 10 acres un-
der a good state of cultivation. Its
surroundings are perfect-making it
perfect paradise almost. We re-
mained~here over night and on Mon
day morning started for Mosinee, &C
cOmpanied by Mr.. Moore and sister of
Stevens Point, and the Misses Shields
and little brother. We arrived at
Mrs. Blair's at 11:50, in time for an
excellent dinner. Here we separated
company, the Moores going to Stev-
ems Point. We reached home at 6 p.
M, feeling well repaid for the trip.

In order to rid your scalp of filthy
dandruff you must kill the germ.
There is hair dressing called Partisan

in America, that is guaranteed by W.

falling hair, splitting hair and scalp
itch in two weeks or money back.
If you have dandruff get large so

it. Remember tat if dandruff germs
are not destroyed in time, the hair
will surely fall out and badness will
follow.

Potatoes are almost as valuable as
gold nuggets at the pres
ent time, and have been selling
around 60c a peck in Wausau for
some time. There is a reason for
this. The crop in sections of the
country which have supplied the new
potatoes shipped to Wisconsin at this
time other years is reported to be
failure this year. No new potatoes
coming in, the old ones stored in our
cellars were consumed, causing a
shortness of supply and consequent
raise in price of old tubers. For sew
eral weeks most every Wausau
merchant has had no old ones to sell.
OF course the home grown new pota-
toes will soon be on the market, which
will relieve conditions somewhat.
but it looks now as if growers in this
state will get good prices all summer
for their stock. The Wisconsin crop
is said to be about normal.

INDIAN OFFICE FORCE BUSY.
Rumor That Department is Preparing
to Merge Offices.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 1.-THE 100
government clerks in the office of
commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes are now working until 10
o'clock each night, the first time
such a thing has happened in the
history of the government offices in
Mdskogee. Every one of the clerks
and stenographers, men and women,
are required TO report at the office at
700 a. IN. and work until 10 p. M.
The reason advanced at the COM
missioner's office is the tremendous
amount of work entailed by the sale
of the unallotted lands, over 5000
tracts having been sold, and the
appraisement OF the timber lands.
There Is rumor, however, to the
effect that orders have come from
Commissioner Wright, who is IN
Washington, to clean up all the work
possible in order TO turn the office
over to a new head at the end of the
fiscal year. If this is true, it means
that the commissioners office is to
be consolidated with that of the
Indian agent here.
