Word received from the G. S. Gill
bert family states that they arrived
safely in Phoenix and that Mrs.
Gilbert stood the journey well. They
are comfortably located, and no doubt
will enjoy pleasant winter.
The buildings of Fred Jawort, at
the corner of Second and Scott streets,
which were destroyed by fire several
weeks ago, are being cleaned of de-
bris and scorched and burned lumber
preparatory to rebuilding the same.
There was snow and rain in plenty
on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Considerable more of the latter than
the former, but enough snow fell to
make fairly good sleighing. Farmers
living near the city are able to haul
considerable wood and produce to the
city.
The Winnebago Presbytery met on
Thursday evening in the Presbyterian
church of this city and Rev. Duer's
resignation as pastor of the Presby-
terrain church was accepted according
to the wishes of Rev. Duer, who is

and who has been with The Falls

connections with that concern and
has opened an insurance office in that
city, writing policies for all kinds of
insurance. His many Wausau friends

its mill and making some improve
ments therein, the Brooks & Ross

operations again Thursday and will
continue work Indefinitely, having
abundance of stock on hand to keep
it going.
Morris Hoffman, arrested on the
charge of short weighing a customer
in selling him peck of apples, had
his trial in circuit court Tuesday and
in the evening the jury returned a
verdict finding the defendant not
guilty. The lesson, however, is a
warning to persons frequently violat-
ing the law in this and similar re-
spects.
The case of Frances Polaski, when
called for trial in municipal court

the defendant went her way rejoic-
ing. Mrs. Polaski was charged with

been purchased by her. The COM
plainant, Minnie Lemke and the de-

ing the articles in dispute.
The Curtis & Yale Co.'s factory
laid up for its annual repairs and inn
provements over the holidays and
during the past week, blew its whistle
and started up yesterday and is run
ming along as smoothly as usual. When
that mammoth establishment ceases
operation there is lull of activity in
that neighborhood which is quite
noticeable. Work on the eight hour
schedule has been adopted at that
busy industry.
Some people are very forgetful of
the newspaper when they have any
job printing to do. When they have
a half column of free advertising they
are not so forgetful and ii the news
paper does not run it they refer to
the editor as "tight-wad." They
seem to forget that the columns of
the newspaper are the source from
which the editor derives a living and
pays off his help every Saturday
night. If the people will stop and
think this matter over they will
agree that we are right and that
every affair that is gotten up for
money making should not ask the
editor to give them space in his paper
free. Chippewa Ind.
