CATCHING SUCKERS.

The falls railroad bridge and the
shore of the river below the bridge,
was lined with boys and men fishing
for suckers, all of the past week.
These fish are now running north
to spawn. They are mostly black
suckers and at this time OF the year
they are considered as good eating as
any other kind of fish, the only draw
back is that they have more small
bones in their makeup. In catching
suckers they use very little bait while
they are running, but from one to a
dozen hooks are paced on line and
by jerking sideways the fish are
caught in various ways, hooked in
the body, tail, fin or gilIs, as the case
NAV be. AS usual the small toy with
the short pole was catching all the
fish. One boy ON Friday caught as
many as all the rest put together and
the bystanders were making bets on
the boy against the balance. The
crowd became 50 interested that
many fork-j their own business and a
few caught the fever and got into the
game. One boy caught large pick
erel, and it CALLED him TO think he
basi to throw 1t back into the river.
But there were too many witnesses

received an order from national head
quarters regarding the observance of
Memorial Day. The order follows:
Before another general order shall
issue from these headquarters, Mem
orial day with its hallowed memories
and associations will have come and
gone. 1t is not necessary at this
late date to urge upon our comrades
the proper observance of the day.
1t has become labor of love and we
should as soon neglect the Sabbath
as to fail to pay proper respect to
our comrades gone in advance The
custom, growing year by year, to ac-
cept the assistance of the children in
the act of decorating the graves is
beautiful one and allied societies are
always anxious to render any aid in
the services possible. The tender
and symbolic ceremony of casting
flowers upon the waters that flow to

HELEN KELLER.

When Helen Keller made her debut
as a public speaker the press of the
country announced the event as one
of the greatest achievements of re-
cent times. The girl whom Mark
Twain bad bracketed with Napoleon
as 'the other most interesting char
acter of the nineteenth century,"
Edwin Markham had hailed as 'The
most interesting being on the planet"
whom Edward Everett Hale, Or.
Alexander Graham Bell, Richart
Watson Glider and Oliver Wendell
Holmes had claimed as 'the marvel
of the day in which we live" sud
denly added another to her list of ac-
complishments and appeared as a
public lecturer. That she was sue
cessful in her attempt was proven by
the ovation she received everywhere
on her transcontinental lecture tour
last season. Cities small and large
turned out in. masses to greet this
remarkable women and her COM
panion whom she calls Teacher"
even today. They are shortly TO
lecture here and are announced for
May 10th at the Grand opera house.

CENTRAL THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO

sire to shake the little Miss held hot
conflict for time. 1t appears that
the child discovered the. pocket-blol,
where it had dropped and while they
were searching for it had hid it in the
grass. She let them have trip to
the Eau Claire (Schofeld) and return
before she had made its discovery
known. She eyinced a precocity far
beyond her years and we guess ie is
safe to conclude that "Aunt jamie"
won't travel with that amount of
money in loose pocket again
On Saturday last while people were
reading with horror stricken counten-
ances the account of the great steam
boat disaster in Canada, they little
realized how near home like disaster
was liable to come. Sunday afternoon
the steamboat "Belle of Wausau,"
manned by Mark Watson, captain,
Frank Mccullough, pilot, and Pete
Murray, engineer, with Elmer ].
Davis, etc, as ballast, put out for an
excursion up the river. On a down
ward trip and as they were above the
dam the engineer discovered they
were out of fuel. The falls were be-
low them. The captain leaped over
board and struck for shore; the en-
gineer followed next, the ballast get
ting astride of his back. The steam
er neared the falls. Contemplation
was two inches deep on their counten-
ances. They decided to abandon the
boat and swim for life. The pilot
was last to leave. AS he swung him
self far out on the side, the steamer
filled and sunk and the crew reached
the shore in safety after hard swim.
The following is list of casualties as
far as heard from. One steamer sunk.
No insurance. Mark Watson, Sunday
clothes wet; Pete Murray, back chafed
and clothes wet; Elmer j. Davis, hair
whittier and shirt collar saved; Frank
needle lost and lis
suit ruined. The boat

BE CAUTIOUS.

A trip into the northern part OF
Wisconsin last week, showed that the
whole country was dry as tinder and
it only needed the drop of lighted
match anywhere in the woods to start
a conflagration There has been no
rain since the snow went off and the
dead grass, ferns, ETC., is a great men,
ace. There were fires springing up
in every direction, but so far, no very
serious cOntlagrations have occurred.
This is because men who are used to
fighting fire know how to do it. Dur
ing this very dry weather a fire should
not be started in the woods or on
farms without taking every precau-
tion.
The state fire marshal gives good
advice for the prevention OF fire.
Citizens should get an early start
this year in making up their minds
TO use proper care in burning rubbish
when doing their spring cleanup
work. Each spring many fires result
from the fact that rubbish piles are
burned either too near to buildings,
are left in charge of incompetent per-
sons, are started on windy days, or
left alone, are thought to be dead,
when in fact they are just slumbering.
Make this year a clean year in
every way. Prevent the possibility
of fire by entering earnestly into the
work of fire prevention. Teach the
children the danger of handling
matches. Keep gasoline or kerosene
out of the house. Place one or more
fire extinguishers about the house and
barn and show those whom you find
TO be careless the danger. Interest
them in clean, wasteless, trashless
community. DO this and it will be
more effective in the prevention of
fires than all the laws that can be EN-
acted by any legislature or ordinances
to that end. a tidy housekeeper is
the worst enemy of fire waste.

tion act, and another committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. j. n. Manson and
f. X. Schilling, was appointed to as
certain the cost of dependent patients
in the county hospital, as NOW
charged up to the various towns in
the county is not correct.
o. f. Bradley, of the Wisconsin
State Anti-Tuberculosis association,
appeared before the board and ad-
dressed its members upon the ques-
tion of tuberculosis and urged the

He asserted that this county had
low 200 cases of the disease Within
it's confines; that sixteen were being
taken care of by the county at $1,000
per week each in various institutions.
The result was that a committee was
appointed consisting of Ringle,
Krause and to look into the matter
of building county sanitarium and
report at the next meeting.
The board accepted an invitation
to visit the asylum and county home
and part of the afternoon was spent
in looking over those institutions.

man, addressed the board during the
afternoon along the lines of his work.
An appropriation of $40O was made

ON Saturday.
One afternoon last week one of the
school ma'ams visited friends at the
Eau Claire (Schofield). Upon her re-
turn she discovered that her pocket.
book containing quite sum of money
was missing. OF course there was
excitement and much scurrying
around TO find the missing wallet. A
return trip was made to the Eau
Claire and the ground was carefully
examined and searched, but no pocket
book was found. Disappointment and
sorrow brooded on the school ma'am's
countenance. The product of much
toll and innumerable yexations was
gone, never more to return. She sat
down to ponder over the situation.
She consulted her friends as to the
best means to be adopted for its re-
covery, and was already preparing in
her mind suitable advertisement to
be struck off, when shrill childish
voice falls upon her ear: "Aunt jamie,

book. The feelings of that school

WAX IMPRESSIONS or
INITIALS in RING TO
SHOW NAME OF OWNER

In order that the initials, which are
not easily decipherable owing to the
rings long stay in salt water, may be
determined positively, the signet ring
found last week among debris from
the F-4 at the Inter-Island drydock by
a little Hawaiian girl wading in the
water, is being used to make series
of wax impressions which are expect-
ed to bring out the initials so the ring,
If 1t belonged to any officer or sailor
Of the submarine, may be sent to rela-
tives.
The initials appeared to be "F. l..
v. c." but the impressions which are
being made of the ring should bring
out the letters so as to make it easy
to read them. There are several of
the F-4's crew whose family names
began with the letter c. These in
cluded Walter F. Covington, machin-
lists mate; Ernest C. Cauyin, machin-
lists mate, and Harley Colwell, chief
electrician.
