WILL HELP FARMERS.

Assemblyman A. J. Plowman, Mar-athon county, is working on a bill bywhich the state will become the own-er and operator or stump pullingmachines in his and adjoining coun-ies. Thousands of acres of goodfarming land are undeveloped becausesettlers have no way of clearing it,and Assemblyman Plowman believesit is a good chance for the state touse its funds to promote the agricul-tural interests. 11is plan embracesrepayment by the settlers when landbecomes productive. Engines andmachinery are used for stump pullingand piling but they are too costly forsettlers to buy. MadisonState Journ-al.

JOS. DESSERT’S ESTATE.At the Time of His Death It Was

Only $25,000.

hen Joseph Dessert of Mosinee,one of the Wisconsin river pioneerlumberman, retired from business, hewas reported to be well up tow ard themillionaire class. At the time of hisdeath, which occurred in Milwaukeea short time ago, the value of his es-tate, according to his will, which hasbeen filed for probate in that county,was only $25,000. It is understood,however, that some time prior to hisdeath Mr. Dessert transferred a largeshare of his estate Lu his daughter,Mrs. 11. M. Thompson.

The greater share of his estate of$25,000 was given to relatives. Thedaughter of Samuel Ilinckly of Mos-inee was given SSOO for kindness toMrs. Dessert during her last illnwss,and to St. Paul’s church of MosineeMr. Dessert gave S7OO Stevens PrintJournal.

WORMS DID THE WORK.

Four men and a woman arrivedhere Wednesday for the purpose ofcleaning all the feather pillows inthis city. Before coming here theyhad operated in Chippewa Falls and,it appears, worked their game to per-fection in that city before the author-ities were onto it. It seems that inevery job which they undertook theysubstituted inferior feathers for theones removed. The authorities ofthis city were notified of their corn-ing and when they arrived they weretold to move elsewhere, which theydid. It is said that they billed theirstulf to Oconto.

Sheriff O’Connor notified the Chip-pewa county authorities as to w herethey might find the feather people,if wanted, and we learn that theywere arrested Thursday and takenback to Chippewa Falls.It is believed by local authorities

that they did not intend to operatehere, but merely stopped off to re-bill their goods, so as to throw theChippewa county officers off theirtrail.

It appears that it was mostly well-to-do people they worked. Theirgame was to enter a house and solicitwork. If ru*ie was forthcoming theywould ask to look at the pillows inthe house, to determine the conditionof the feathers. Ripping open onecorner, by some feat of legerdemainthey would cause several worms todrop out. They also exhibited bot-tles of worms which they claimedthey had removed from feathers inother Chippewa Falls homes. Thegame worked fine, and after theworms were shown there was notrouble in getting the work.

STATE FAIR FOR WAU-SAU.

Shawano County Assemblyman Wantsit Removed to This City.

We are in receipt of the lettergiven below, written by A. J. Plow-man:

Madison, Feb. 2, 1911Wausau Pilot,

Wausau, Wis.Gentlemen:—

This afternoon Tlios. J. Mahon,member of assembly from Shawanocounty, and well known to many ofthe business men in Wausau, intro-duced a bill providing that the statefair be removed from the city of Mil-waukee to the city' of Wausau. Mr.Mahon says that he will push thebill to the limit. He takes the standthat the basic idea of a state fair isone of education. Its purpose shouldbe to assist in the development of thestate from an agricultural standpoint.It should aim to strengthen thosesections of the state that are weakin the methods of improved farming.For several years last past the statefair has been conducted for the bene-fit of the people in the large cities.Crowds from the cities gather to seeflying machines, fast horses, automo-bile races and the like. The aim ofthe present association is to get aslarge a crowd as possible, in order toswell the gate receipts, while thematter of agiicultural developmentlias been neglected. Mr. Mahon be-lieves that such things should be ex-ploited at a state fair as will help inclearing the land of stumps andstones, and that will en?.hle the farm-er in the newer country to learn how-to clear his land cheaply, and how tohandle the new soil.

Wausau, as the 'ndustrial center ofthe north, should have the state fairso that the poor farmer, who cannotafford 4.0 make an expensive trip toMilwaukee, may readily and easilylearn the lesson of improved farming.

1 am proud to say that I receivedan excellent and non-partisan endorse-ment for member of the state boardof agriculture from the Tenth con-gressional district. Besides havingthe endorsement of all the democraticmembers of the legislature, a petitionin my behalf was submitted to thegovernor, signed by some of the lead-ing republicans, including SenatorSanborn of Ashland, AssemblymanStevens of Rhinelander, Assembly-man Reader of Antigo and manyothers. A. W. l’rehn of Wausau,however, received the appointment.

With reference to Mr. Mahon’s billlet it be said that his idea emanatedfrom him alone, and was not promptedas lie says, by anyone from your city.

Yours truly,A. J. Plowman.

As Mr. Plowman states, Mr. Mahonis well known here. He spent severalweeks in this county last fall cam-paigning for the republican ticket,neglecting his own candidacy in help-ing his Marathon county brethern.Tommy is a gentlemanly little fellowand a hustler, and Wausau and Mara-thon county people ought to respecthis efforts in trying to bring the statefair to this city. His reasons forwanting the change are sound andlogical, but it is hardly likely thathis efforts will be successful. All ofthe southern members of the legisla-ture will vote against the bill, andthen there is the university and stateIxiard of agriculture to fight. A largeamount of money has been investedin the state fair grounds in Milwau-kee and this will be taken into con-sideration, as well as the cost of buy-ing new grounds and erecting newbuildings. Located near the bulk ofWisconsin’s population it was only inrecent years*that the state fair was asuccess financially.

But while the chance of gettingthe fair here is remote, let us allhurrah for Mr. Mahon and his effortsjust the same. There is nothing liketrying. That’s how Cyrus Field laidthe Atlantic cable.

REFUSED A CALL TO WAUSAU.Rev. F. Selle ot Shawano, has been

extended a call by Zion’s congregationto succeed Rev. C. A. Bretscher, re-signed. It is not known whether Rev.Seile will accept.

The above was taken from the Wau-sau Pilot. We have been informedthat Rev. Selle had the call under con-sideration but has decided not to ac-c< pt the same. He has a good deal ofwork here by taking care of twoeharges, Shawano city and town ofRichmond. The church in Richmondis going to have a pastor of their ownand this will make Rev. Selle’s work-much lighter. Rev. Selle has beenhere a number of years and has alarge congregation who would regrettoyhave Him leave.—Shawano Advo-cate.

J. DEWITT MILLER.

A fair sized audience greeted J. De-Witt Miller last Wednesday eveningat the opera house, when he spokeunder the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.He was introduced by M. W. Sweet.The speaker, upon walking to themiddle of the stage, announced histopic, “Reveries of a Bachelor,”which he said would deal with Love,Courtship and Marriage. Being abachelor himself, he said people mightreasonably presume and say that heknew nothing about these subjects,to which he might answer by tellinga story. Prof. Phillips once w rote anarticle on slavery, to which a southernpreacher took exceptions, saying thatinasmuch as the writer had neverlived in a country where slaveryexisted, he knew nothing of slavery.Meeting the preacher one day, andthe subject being brought up, Phillipssaid: “Are you a preacher?” “Yes.”“Do you believe in hell?” “Yes.”“Ever live there?” “No.” “Evervisit there?” “No.” The inferencedrawn is plain.

Mr. Miller’s talk, summed up, wasthat everyone should he married, ifthey are fitted for it. That the tiesof home and woman’s influence workfor the "betterment of man. That awoman’s place is in the home, andnot in the factory. Every manshouldhe a bread winner, and every womanshould know how to bake the breadof flour bought with her husband’smoney. A man’s weak point is hisstomach, and a woman, if she is agood cook, can usually cultivate anacquaintanceship with her Husbandby preparing good meals for him. Ayoung married man came home oneday and found his w ife in tears, andasking her what was the matter, shereplied by saying, “I made somesplendid dumplings for you, and whileI was absent from the room Fido atethem.” The young husband said“Never mind, dear, we can purchaseanother dog.”

The devotion of Maj. McKinley forhis wife; of Mrs. Gladstone for herhusband; of Queen Victoria for herfamily, of Mrs. Gore for the blindsenator of Oklahoma, were heldup as standards to follow. In closinghe pleaded for a better training forchildren. Instead of boys being outon the streets nights cultivatinghabits which ultimately lead them tophysical and mental wreck, and girlstraveling the byways and sowing theseeds which lead to their ruin, theyshould be under the watchful eyes oftheir parents, he said.

C. S. Ashmun the other day steppedinto his chariot not “solitary” andalone, yet a prisoner and bound bysome of the most polished locks everseen, His capturer carrying the keyswhich were bright ones. His jailorhad promised to go Jfuraf-izing withhim and he appeared happy in hisfetters, and if the lasses in the Ruralland to which he has been taken, donot doubly bond him, we may expectto see him return only secured bylocks—Smith’s patent.

On Monday last, R. Bauman caughtan eel above the pond near the dam,which measured 2 feet and 9 inchesin lengtii.

This afternoon we expect to wit-ness some tine sport at the fairgrounds. A purse of SIOO has beenput up for a single dash of one milebetween Kickbuscli’s “Prince” andPhil. Ward’s horse, “Legal Tender,”of Grand Rapids. There will also heseveral- foot races. The most import-ant of which will be between CoonBernhardt and li. L. Pearce.

On Monday last while N. B. Thayerwith two of his boys, was going tohis little farm on this side of thecemetery and on the way havingjumped upon a truck wagon of B. T.Single, little Steve, about nine yearsold, stuck out his foot which caughtbetween the spokes of the hind wheeldrawing him between the wheel andthe standard of the axle tree. Hadnot the team been suddenly stoppedhis legs must had been broken andthe little fellow crushed to death.Fortunately no bones were broken.

A large number of our old andyoung folks go berrying nearly everyday in the neighborhood of Mosinee.They get good accommodations atthe Fall City house kept by W. G.Blair. They all come home with

plenty of berries and report havinghad an excellent time.

On Monday last we were shown thelarge and well cultivated garden ofHon. W. D. Mclndoe and sur-prised to see the marine? iff wliich itwas cultivated. ;

SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1871.On Wednesday evening laist at

Music hall under the'Supervision ofMiss Julia Grace, a concert was givenby the ladies of Wausau to aid thecompletion of the Catholic church.It was a rich musical treat. ‘ MissGrace Is a tine musician and everypart of the singing w as well sustainedby the whole company.

On Tuesday last, at noon, a largelumber pile of John C. Clarke, justwest of his mill, was set on fire fromthe burning slab pile. By hard workof our tire department under CaptainB. G. Plumer, the tire was exting-uished. Mr. Clarke’s loss will beabout SSOO.

We received a pleasant call lastWednesday from Mrs. W. G. Blairproprietress of the Fall City house,Mosinee.

Sam Ashmun who has for sometimebeen the eflicient accountant in thehanking house of Silverthorn &

Plumer, left yesterday for Cohos, N.Y., to take a position in one of thelarge cotton manufacturing establish-ments of that city as bookkeeper.William O. Butler, late principal ofschools, now Alls that place vacatedby Mr. Ashmun.

John Gebhard, one of the eflicientclerks in the McCrossen store, is now-on a visit to relatives and friends inFond du Lac. It is intimated thatlie is going to return “mit a frau.”We bore so. John is a tip top fellowand deserves one of the fairest flowersin the Fountain City. {
