Why the Dollar Counts

In this campaign the issues lie between the forces of
Representative Government and Popular Government.
In Representative Government only part of the people
have influence those with political faith who spend
fortunes any direction where their ends fur
thered for money.
In Popular Government all the people have influence,
because their executives ard legislators do dare
thwart the expressed will of the people
Representative Government ever, this year is being
supported by the money of the Interests lts being spent
lavshy give the wrong impression Of Wilson.
Popular Government this year, win must depend On the
truth being told about Wilson We must publish his record
and platform broadcast that contrOvert it.
Your ST. your $2 your S. your $40 or $40 will count and
SENT to win if spent in this work.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1912-10-24

This is another case where time is money.
The enemy have their funds supplied instantly by
the interests.
We have only few days and contributions to be edec
tive must be received at once.
There is no question of the money Of the People being
able TO defeat the money Of the Trusts
Because it is greater in volume and will be used in
straightforward telling ways.
But to be effective it must be received and used within
the next few days.
Quick action is absolutely necessary. Let have your
contribution the list you make up from your friends and
co-wOrkers today if possible, tomorrow

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 15.--The bears in
wheat enjoyed a most fruitful inning
| today when scattered bull longs were
obliged TO throw their holdings over

in the day conditions surrounding the

standpoints and the session was less
than an hour old before wheat start

and at prices to suit. When the
closing bell rang out. 1t was seen that
net losses for the day were Is to
; IS cents. and that the market was
entirely devoid o. recuperatiye power
There was less talk OF dry weather
and extreme heat in the corn belt and
there vas free selling by longs as
well as by the more daring specuIa-
tors who were putting ont short lines
The country was again a seller OF

WEDNESDAY. AUG. u. 1874.

Our sheriff has been cruising around
during the past week in search OF
some Indians that perpetrated a
shameful outrage a few days ago near
ShantytowR in this county. Three OF
the Indians entered the house of Al
Bentley about eleven o'clock in the
forenoon at which time Mrs. Bentley
was the only person about the prem
ises, her husband being in Wausau.
The Indians seized Mrs. Bentley and
tied her hands and feet together, her
hands behind her back, then they
ransacked the house, carrying away
with them such articles as they
wished, and leaving her lying on the
floor, face downward, in which posi-
tion she reF~ Ned until three O'Clock,
when neiglIoor passing by called for
a drink of water. He released Mrs.
Bentley, who was terribly frightened.
The outrage was committed by the
PottawotamieS. About fifty of the
tribe are now prowling around in this
They can be distinguished
from the Chippewa Indians from the
fact that they ride ponies, while the
latter travel in canoes. Rifles and
shot guns have been taken down and
placed in the best possible condition,
while there has been a very percepti-
BILE increase in the demand for powder
and lead at our stores, we trust, how
ever, that there will not be serious
trouble. Quite a number of the
Indians were finally arrested, all of
whom went willingly before Mrs.
Bentley, but she failed to recognize,
any of them as the parties who had
bound her and robbed the house.
Charlie Chubbuck, we notice, is
now the accountant in j. A. Farm
hams bank.
Lawyers James & Charles, are now
located in offices over Dunbar's new
jewelry store.
A move is being made for the erec-
tion of Presbyterian church in
Wausau. The prospects look very
bright.

FIRE AT EXCELSIOR PLANT.

Wednesday morning at about four
O'Clock fire was discovered in the
boiler house of the excelsior plant
owned by Loewenthal 81 Neu OF
Chicago, and located at the north end
of the city, which in short time
caused a damage to the building
amounting to about 5000. The
fire was discovered by the night
watchman, who gave the alarm by
blowing the factory whistle. Frank
Young, manager of the plant, who
resides at SIT Adams street, was lying
awake in his bed at the time and upon
hearing the well known sound of the
whistle hurried to the factory, on the
way alarming the fire department.
After the arrival of the latter it was
but few minutes work to extinguish
the blaze, but not until it had des-
troye1 the greater part of the roof of
the boiler house. The fire is supposed
to have started in the refuse used for
fuel, and which had been piled up too
close to the boilers. The damage
will be repaired at once.

A HOLD UP.

The Marathon Times tells of hold
up which happened near it's town on
Wednesday evening. Henry Baum
gardt had been out collecting
for the brewery and was coming home
at eleven O'Clock at night when nearly
three miles from Marathon Two men
approached his cutter, one caught
his horse by the bride and the other
fellow jumped into the rig and
commanded Mr.. Baumgardt to throw
up his hands which he did so quickly
that he knocked the man out of the
cutter, at the same time his horse
reared Gp throwing the man holding
him into the gutter. The horse
stai ted on a run and continued until
it reached Marathon, which was en-
tirely in accordance with Mr. Baum
gardt's wishes as he preferred the
swift ride rather than the society of
the robbers. 1t was found that the
horses bride was broken otherwise
the story might have been different.

WAUSAU.

Couched in the valley of the old WisconsiG.
Among the hills she lies,
On the banks of the river in calm repose,
Under the seasons changing skies.
A beautiful city from a hamlet sprung,
In few years. with marvellous stride,
Each mile post passed, has made her at last.
The mark of the valleys pride.
AT the approach of dawn, as it purples the east
Gods messenger on his way,
Over East Hin afar, shines the Morning star
To herald the new born day.
It's duty done: it fades from sight;
The East is flooded with gold,
And the City from sleep and slumbers deep
Awakes as a flock i'm a fold.
The inhabitants go forth to their daily tasks,
In the various walks Of life,
Proud of the city they call their home,
Free from contention and strife;
And at eve when the daily tasks are done.
From factory, school, mill or farm,
The men return to their peaceful homes,
To rest secure from harm.
Her growth has been steady, her step is firm,
Her industries have come to stay,
And the loyal support of her citizens true,
Have guided her on her way
With natural resources of various kinds.
And surrounded by rich farming land,
She is destined to become the Metropolis,
The Queen, of the valley so grand.
The beautiful hills that around her lie.
Enclosing the valley fair
Make the location a natural park
With which nothing in art can compare
And whether in summer, dressed i'm green.
Or in winters mantle white.
Under sun or moon beams, her beauty sub
lime,
Shines forth by day and night.
And when the sun sinks YEARLY,
Ger the crest of Old Rib Hill,
The sentinel old, alike in heat and cold.
Stands guard DER the city still.
And when wrapped meath the wings of the
sable night,
In silence she calmly sleeps
AS the years roll by the sentinel true,
His yigilant watch he keeps.
