Many Driven From Home.

Every year, in many parts of the
country, thousands are driven from
their homes by coughs and lung dis
eases. Friends and business are left
behind for other climates, but this
is costly and not always sure. A
better way-the way of multitudes-
is to use DR. Kings New Discovery
and cure yourself at home. Stay
right there, with your friends. and
take this safe medicine. Throat and
lung troubles find quick relief and
health returns. Its help in coughs,
colds, grip, Group, whooping-cough
and sore lungs make it a positive
blessing. SOC and S1.00. Trial bot

"POOR CONRAD'S"
LOVE FOR BLACK RIVER

THERE--RAFTED LOGS TO

Editor County Record
A good deal of my life has been
spent on the historic Black river and
in its swamp, some places dark and
dismal, others romantic and lovely;
again, spots weird and lonely, sur
rounded by the stiffness of death.
Sometimes | think one-half of my
life has been passed in that old
swamp, but none of it to my regret.

Messrs Daniel E Evans and James

Mr. Editor, those good people that

Think of such generosity now! Who

a poor wanderer without home or a
place to lay his head, possessing only
the coarse clothes on his back? Why,
to imagine such magnanimity now

A SPRING EVENT.

S. Winkelman's department store
spring exposition took place on Thurs
day evening from 7:30 to 9:30, no goods
being sold during the occasion. The
immense store and show windows
were brilliantly lighted and decorated
with beautiful flowers; the shelves
and counters loaded with ladies' and
gentlemen's fashionable wearing ap-
parel, millinery creations, furnish
ings, accessories, fabrics, ETC.; the
ever courteous and popular proprietor
and his corps of faithful and obliging
clerks in their respective places; the
presence of Cones orchestra in the
balcony, which rendered delightful
music, and the 1000 people by actual
count who visited the establishment
during said time, was one Of the
prettiest events of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in Wausau, which
demonstrated that Mr.. Winkleman is
a businessman of modern ideas and ac-
knowledged commendable enterprise.

IN REFERENCE TO WAUsAU

Editor Plot Complying with your
request for statement of views rel
ative TO c1ty government, allow me TO
say, that | have heretofore indicated
to the citizens of Wausar in a general
way, my understanding, that the af-
fairs of our city demand the whole
time and constant attention of the
mayor; that our city finances must be
placed in a more satisfactory condi-
tion and the tax rate reduced, not only
to relieve the people from excessive
burdens, but also as an inducement to
encourage the location here Of manu-
featuring plants, and thus increase
the facilities for the employment of
labor. Recent discussion has served
perhaps, to give our people better
understanding of the needs of our
city. Let us hope it may lead to more
satisfactory results. Our assessed val
uation should be placed upon basis,
SO as to enable the administration to
relieve the people from excessive tax
alton for the extensive Improvements
demanded by the growth of our city.
There is no good reason for taxing
people beyond their proper share, for
permanent improvements, such as
new school houses and for water works
purposes, which are to be utilized for
generations to come.
The laws of our state and city or
dinances prescribe the powers and du-
ties of city officers. / believe in proper
regulation and the maintenance of
good order, and also judicious econ
omy in city government. Our city
has voted in favor of a nonpartisan
method for choosing city officials,
realizing that only nonpartisan and
impartial conduct will do justice to
all the people.
Wausau is fortunate in its location,
its prospects and its people. It's
future growth, however, depends
largely upon additional and perma-
nent opportunities for employment of
labor This thought is uppermost in
the minds of thinking men. Much
depends in this respect, upon the dis
position and the action of the people,
that nothing be done to discourage
private enterprise. We have thus far
enjoyed the distinction of the unself-
ish cooperation of all citizens, for the
growth and prosperity of Wausau.
Let us hope, that this feeling and dis
tinction may not be disturbed.
Respectfully,
JOHN RINGLE.

LECTURE AGAINST SOCIALISM.

At Castle hall last Tuesday evening
Rev. j. j. Brennan of st. James Cath
olic church gave very strong lecture
against socialism before an audience
that was very &ppreciative of the
arguments presented, but was not as
large as the subject spoken on merit
ed. Father Brennan did not speak on
the religious or moAl side Of the
question, but brought out the falla-
cies of socialism as regards its polit-
ical and economic points of view. He
quoted leading writer's on socialism
and by their own teachings and argu-
ments proved their doctrines to be
false. The theory of equal distribu-
tion is and always will be dream, so
long as men are not equal mentally as
well as physically, and passions con-
troll the individual said the speaker
He also showed how unjust equal dis
tribution would be, and that it would
create and further a hatred between
men, that would work havoc with the
world. Those who heard Father
Brennan, say, his was the best lecture
against socialism ever heard here in
Wausau. Judge Louis Marchetti pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced
the speaker and his subject of lecture
to the audience.

BOY ATTEMPTS TO KILL
STEP-MOTHER.
John Hoffman Shoots Three Times at
Woman, Two Shots Taking Effect

John HOFFMAN,, aged nineteen
years, on last Tuesday afternoon made
an attempt to kill his step-mother,
Mrs. Andrew Hoffman,, by shooting
three times at her with twenty-five
caliber revolver. Two of the bullets
took effect, one lodging in the right
breast near the shoulder, the other in
the fieshy part of the right leg. Both
wounds proved to be only flesh
wounds, no vital organs being in
jured, and Mrs. Hoffman, is slowly
improving. The cause for the shoot
ing appears to lie in some troubles
the family has been having, ever
since Mr.. Hoffman, was married to
his present wife, to take the place of
his children's mother, who had died.
John, who is the oldest of the chill
dren, did not like the way the step
mother Was treating them, and left
his home several years ago. He was
staying with his cousin, Carl Figert,
in the town of Marathon, and on
Tuesday came to the city, evidently
with the intention of seeking ven-
geance, as he purchased the revolver
and some cartridges that day at a
local hardware store. He went to the
home of his father, which is at 92l
Fourth avenue north, early in the
afternoon and on not finding Mrs.
Hoffman at home, went to the wood
shed to await her return. Upon her
arrival at the home few hours later
she was told by one of the younger
children, that John had been there
and had displayed the revolver. Not
seeing anything of him about the
place, Mrs. Hoffman, went out doors
and when she came near the shed
John commenced TO shoot. The wo-
man turned and ran back into the
house, where she tainted. The police
were Immediately notified and also a
doctor called, who upon examination
found that the wounds were not of a
serious nature John ran from the
place Immediately after the shooting
and when the police arrived he could
not be found. He had gone to the
home of his cousin, where detective
Henry Schwister found him the next
morning and placed him under ar
rest. He was arraigned before JUS
tice of the Peace r. n. Larner the
same afternoon, who placed him un-
der $4,000 bail, not allowing him to
enter any plea. In default of fur
nishing the bail-bond, he was COM
manded to the care of Sheriff O'Con-
nor. Saturday morning he was again
taken into court and Justice Lainer
bound him over for trial b circuit
court. e
Andrew Hoffman,, the boys 'a h
er, said, that John had at different
times shown signs Of being weak
mentally, and that perhaps the deed
had been committed While he was
temporarily insane.
Since the shooting John has shown
no remorse over his act, moreover,
says he is sorry that he did not rid
the family of the step-mother.
