THE JOURNAL CUP.

The Milwaukee Journal Cup which
was won at the State fair by Mara
thon county for having the best ex-
hibit, is very handsome souvenir
and all feel proud, and still more
proud to know that old Marathon had
the goods with which to win out.
The cup was taken to Mosinee by
Arden Paronto, chairman of the
county in charge Of the display and
placed on exhibition in that town
for several days. On Friday it was
brought to Wausau and is now on
exhibition at the court house.
Besides winning the prize for the
best display at the state fair, five
first premiums were captured. The
county has won first prize for the
best exhibit at the state fair five
times; in 1899, 1900, 1901, 1903 and
1915. 1t has won second and third
prizes number of times. The fact
is that every time a concerted effort
has been made, Marathon has won
the first prize.
This year our committee worked un-
der difficulties. Our county fair was
held two weeks before the state fair
and the selection made at that time
could not be kept in prime condition
and new supply of farm produce
had to be secured. We had a very
early frost which uipped the corn and
in this the showing was not nearly
as good as it might have been, other
wise. Our farmers are to be con-
graduated upon raising produce that
can carry off the best premiums Of
fered by our state.
Marathon county, showing the
"clover belt exhibit" was in charge
of A. Paronto, L. III. Cook, J. D.
Christie, g. S. Cook and j. w. Wes-
ley. Other counties given ribbons, in
their respective order, were: Sauk,
Wood, st. Croix, Milwaukee, Lang
lade and Waupaca. Most of these are
northern counties, it will be noticed.
"We believe Marathon county's sue
cess lies in the variety of its products,
as well as in the general good quail
ity." said L. III. Cook. "Our exhibit
included thirty-nine varieties of
grains in the sheaf, 58 varieties in
the sack, thirty-three varieties of
wild and tame native grasses and
many other products.
A feature of the Marathon county
show is some fully matured Tom
Thumb popcorn. This corn, accord
ing to the judges, is the ripest corn in
Wisconsin this year. 1t was grown
in Mr.. Cooks back yard.

DEATH OF MRS. LAMONT.

Mrs. Almira Lamont of Colby
mother of John F. Lamont, of this
city, passed away Saturday night
September 18th. The following is
taken from the Colby Phonograph:

when the responsibilities of the farm

and she came to live with her daugh-
Ter, Mrs. d. E. Sullivan in this CITY.
During her life she enjoyed good
health. On Oct. %, 1910, her hus-
band was taken from her and this
came as a very hard blow to her: and
while she still was surrounded by her
family there was one thing missing
and from that time on her health be-

ago she was taken quite seriously with
paralysis, from which she never fully
recovered.

The Head Chief of this band is Osh-
ka-ba-Wis, or The Messenger; the Head
Brave is Ka-kac-o-na-yosh, or The
SparrO,C Hank, the Chief Orator is
Now-o-com-ick, or The Center of the
Earth; and the Chief Medicine Man
or ConjurOr, is Mah-ca- -da-o-gung-a, or
The Black Mat, who performed the
feat of descending the Long Falls in
his canoe, and is represented by the
other Indians as being great Med
icine Man. He is always called upon,
far and near, in cases of sickness, or
in the absence of relatives, to foretell
whether the sickness will prove fatal,
or whether the friends will return in
safety, and at what time. He is also
consulted by the Indians when they
go out to hunt the bear, to foretell
whether success will crown their
efforts. Before performing these SER
vices, he is always paid by the In
dians, with such articles as they have,
which generally consist of tobacco,
steel-traps, kettles, broad cloth, cal
ico, and variety of other commod-
tiles. He usually performs after
dark, in a wigwam just large enough
to admit of his standing erect. This
lodge or Wigwam is tightly covered
with mats, so as entirely to exclude
all light and the prying curiosity of
all outsiders. Having no light within
the lodge, the acts and utterances of
the Medicine Man or Conjurer are re-
garded as mysterious, and credulously
received by the wondering crowd sur
rounding the tent. He first prepares
himself in his family wigwam by
stripping off all his clothing, when he
emerges singing, and the Indians out
side join him in the song with their
drums, and accompany him to the
lodge, which he enters alone. Upon
entering, the lodge commences shak-
ing violently, which is supposed by
the Indians outside, to be caused by
the spirits. The shaking of the lodge
produces a great noise by the rattling
, of bells and deers' hoofs fastened to
the poles of the lodge at the top, and,
at the same time, three voices are
distinctly heard intermingled with
this noise. One is very heavy hoarse
voice, which the Indians are made to
believe is that of the Great Spirit;
another is a very fine voice, repre-
sented to be that of a Small Spirit,
while the third is that of the M ed
icine Man himself. He pretends thai
the Great Spirit converses in the
heavy voice to the lesser spirit, unin-
telligibly to the conjurer, and the
lesser spirit interprets it to him, and
he communicates the intelligence to
his brethren without. The ceremony
lasts about three hours, when he
comes out, in high state of perspira-

OF the Island of Islay, on the west
coast of Scotland, there is stationed,
at the otter Rock, a unique lightship.
It is unnamed; yet it can be relied
on to display the warning light to
guide the mariner on this dangerous
coast. 1t is a most ingeniously con-
structed vessel and the only n Of
its kind. In its two steel tanks a
sufficient quantity Of gas a be stored
to supply the lantern for several
months.
Experiments have shown that the
light may be depended upon to burn
continuously for months at a time.
The approximate duration of tie light
can be predetermined. and there is no
danger whatever Of its being extin-
gulshed by wind or spray.
The light is visible at a distance of
from eight to twelve miles. The light
ship also has a bell, which is made
to ring automatically by means Of an
ingenious device that u~tilizes the gas
as It passes from the tanks to the
lantern to work the bell clapper.

HEALTH A PAGshben = Co

Pamphlet Urges Every Citizen to Join
an Organized War on
Disease.

In a pamphlet entitled Fighting
Trim" issued by the United States
public health service, Surgeon J. NJ
Eager lays stress upon personal en-
deavor Of every individual as Of the
highest public Importance in the or
ganized war against disease. The
wonderful victories that have been
won in combating infectious maladies
have had a tendency to divert popular
attention from the equally important
personal fertilization against diseases
Of all kinds. The question of prepared
ness against onslaughts of the enc.
my, a query prominent in the minds
of everyone in these days OF warfare,
is put in a special personal bearing as
relating to the dangers threatened by
disease, the permanent enemy of
mankind.
Are you personally prepared, it is
asked for the h~and-to-hand encounter
with disease that you are sure to be
forced into sooner or later or in which
perhaps you are already engaged? IN.
less you are willing to succumb with
out a struggle, fight you must, no mat
ter how feeble your fighting proclivi-
ties r The i%neyitability Of the bat
tie against disease is strongly insist
ed upon.
In the defense against disease two
things are necessary-a systematic
union of fighters, the sanitary
cation, and personal preparedness. the
product of intelligent and diligent per
sonal hygiene. Personal prepared
ness is the patriotic duty Of every citi-
zen as an aid to national sanitary de-
Tense. No mar as a member of So
ciety is morally free to live unhy-
CHEMICALLY or to acquire disease
through lack Of personal care. Like
a slovenly soldier, the person who
neglects his health risks imparting to
others his loose morale, or even trans
hitting disease to the whole commun-
ity.

WILL CLOSE FOR A YEAR
No Further Effort Will Be Made
to Keep WOOdsOn Institute
Open.

At a recent meeting of the
Richmond Commercial Club the
matter of keeping Woodson In
stitute open was taken up by
that organization and it was de-
termined to make an effort to
keep the school open for another
year. A committee was appoint
ed by the club to raise the funds
necessary to keep the school 60
ing and President S. w. Emory
announced that he would con-
sent to remain at the head of
the school provided this was
done.
The commercial club commit
tee worked faithfully in its
efforts to raise the required a.
mount, but did not meet with
sufficient success and encourage
ment to warrant it's continuing
the work and so reported. Act
ing upon the report Of the COM
mittee, the advisory board of
Woodson Institute has determin-
ed to close the school for the
coming year, at least, and it is
hardly probable that any further
attempt to open it this fall will
be made.
Woodson Institute has been in
