Stevens roint is getting considerable notoriety lately throimli a new industry Ktarted in that city. LochI parties hnve formed a company nnd built a mill to prepare for the market the product of several grapnite Detis tounu near tuat city. Experiments have been going on for Beveral years and the result has been most satisfactory. If the graphite is reallv found to be marketable this nnd and experimental development will be of the ereateet importance, most oi tue irranhite is now imported from Ceylon nnd Mexico. Those back of the Stevens Point venture are State Senator Phillips A.

F. Wvatt. G. E. McDill, N.

A. Week and F. E. Taggert. Developments at the Stevens Point mines will be watched with especial interest here in Marshtield.

Several years ago large deposits of gra phite were found on tne fctreveier larm north of the city but only limited investigations made as to its worth. If the Stevens roint venture proves a success is likely that a move will be made to develop the Htreveler mine. The Stevens Point company will also develop the oaint ore found near tne grapuite ae posits. This may put new life into our local Iron Mining Co. which experi mented with several holes in the ground near Aubnrndale a few years ago, where the iron deposits were of a quality said to be most suited for cheap pamt.

The semi-centennial celebration will be abandoned unless new life is injected into the scheme. Out of the seventy counties in Wisconsin only ten sent delegations to the meeting yesterday to discuss the celebration. Wood county, will not ue represented. The official count in this, the Eighth roncrressional district, gives Minor a total vote of 26,471, Cate 16,845, Evans prohibitionist) 580. Minor's plurality is 9.626.

In the Ninth district Stewart's total vote was 30.438 and O'Keefe, making Stewart's plurality 12,722. An echo of the Mead murder trial was heard when the Waupaca Co. board passed a resolution to have the sheriff bury the skull of Mr. Mead, that was used at the trial. The skull and bottles containing liot.

Ami nieces of bone are at present in the dynamite proof box of the large safe in Countv Treasurer P. A. Kamsdell's office, are in his custody. As the skull is court property it cannot be removed ex cept by an order of the judge, and unless some actiop is taken by him it will be passed along into the safekeeping of the several county treasurers. A new idea on bidding for contract work was brought to lichtin cwunty Clerk Ksycki's oflice last Friday.

A.E. Fnntaine is the inventor of the idea. Whether it will stand law remains to be seen. Pursuant to a resolution of the rnnntv hoard nil on ted at its recent meet ing Co. Clerk Ksvcki gave notice to the I .1 printers of the county tnat uiu woum be received at his ottice on last Friday for the printing of the county board iiroceedimrs in pamphlet form.

There were straightforward bids offered by the Centralia Enterprise and by lie Aiarsn-field News, each stating a price for which the work would be done. Another bid (the new idea) was from A. E. Fontaine of the Reporter, whose bid consisted of offering to do the work for 2 less than the lowest bid received by the countv clerk, or 2 cents per page less if work was let on that basis. No sjecific figure was given for doing the work, only that the offer was to do it for less than the lowest.

The Enterprise was the lowest actual bid submitted, but we have since learned that the county clerk awarded the work to Fontaine. The Enterprise will probably sue for its rights if the on giving the. job to the Reporter. It is none of our funersl, but it does seem ridiculous to consider for a moment such a bid as made by Fontaine. Supposing all had made a like proposition who would have been awarded the work.

Curfew ordinances seem to be gttSoing in favor. The city council of Shawano at its last session adopted a curfew ordinance. All children under 15 years of age are liable to arrest, if found awny from home alter 7:30 in the evening. No iueh ordinance ban yet been proponed in Marshfleld. but it is a fact that children are allowed to be out till unseemly hours, Among the candidates for the post office in Centralia is W.

II. Cochran, so pays the Enterprise. Mr. Cochran for the past six years has been the superintendent of the electric light works, at Ironwood, but all this time his family has resided in Centralia. In Grand Rapids, we have been informed.

Editor Fontaine wants the post office or some bigger job, Ringling Bros', circus closed the season last week and returned to their winter, quarters at IJaraboo. Their last stand was in North Carolina. When they unloaded at Baraboo the thermometer was down to zero and many of the tropical animals suffered greatly from the cold and may not survive. The circus season with the Ringlings is reported to have been a very successful one. Judge Bailey of Eau Claire has about lecided that he will not be a candidate for circuit judge.

The writing of law books is more congenial to his taste. He has several very important works in press. M. C. Ring, of Xeillsville says that the published statement that he was after a big government job, was premature, but he also says that lie does not eare to be quoted that he would not take such a job.

He Bays that the position of consul-general to London does not pay a year as has been reported; tbnt tbe place now only brings in Handk'fs nave been tny hobby. This season I have an especially fine line. Men's hem-stitched Japan-ettes, silk embroidered initial, 19c. All silk H. big initial, 24c.

ShirtS made right and enough of them, is the kind I sell. Lots of people say, "when I want a shirt that's big enough and don't have to be made over, I go to Laemle's." 000 or $12,000 a year. That's not such a very bad job even at those figures. King will probably have little show for the place even if he does want it. Wm.

S. Osborne, of Massachusetts, is mentioned for the place and his strong pull seems to be that he is a cousin oi the president-elect. The Question as to who carried the city of Maishfield Iiryan or McKinley re mains unsettled, so far as the turning over of bets is concerned. The night of election after it was announced that McKinley had a majority of seven, money that was held on wagers was paid over, the figures being generally ac cepted as correct. Then followed the re port a lew days later tliat iiryan naa carried the city by a plurality of three.

Of course this caused the Iiryan men to demand the return of their money. Further investigation showed that the vote for all the electors was not the same and how it shall be decided who is the winner is still unsettled. While in Grand JJapids fast week the writer inauired as to the usual way of deciding this point when up for consider ation by the board of county canvassers. Uewere informed that wuen tne vote for electors varied the vote for the first ejector on each ticket were taken as the vote for the head of the ticket, it tins is found to be the generally accepted wav of getting at the correct-vote, the city of Marshtield will then have to be counted as giving a plurality for Bryan. The Milwaukee Sentinel and Wood County Reporter are against Henry C.

Payne. Lucky I'ayne, 9 a Richard fluenther. of Oshkosh, of the state board of charities and reforms, has started on an extended tour through Ohio and the east in company with J. E. Hee president of the board.

Thorp Courier: The several members of the band of Crusaders who have been holding meetings here the past month departed for Boyd last week where they are continuing their work.

Ve understand their labors here were not in vain, about furty-five sinners being1 induced I to promise to lead better lives in the i ui ure. Monday and Tuesday were consumed in securing a jury in the Christie murder trial which commenced at Neillsville and will doubtless occupy the week. Dist. Atty. Jacques is prosecuting anil Sturde-vant Konutz appear for the defendant.

It will be remembered that on July 4th last, in the town of Eaton, Chris Mayol-ette was murdered, and that a little later Patrick Christie and his son James, 16 years old, were arrested charged with the crime and later on Patrick Christie committed suicide in the Neillsville jail. The boy's complicity in the foul deed is to be decided at this time. It has been rumored in newspaper circles recently, that the Foster company whose railroad from Fairchild through Clark county to Greenwood has just been completed, have offered to the management of the Wisconsin Central free trackage over their road, if they will rim trains through from Marshfield to Fair-child. Whether or not the offer has actually been made is not known, but it certainly would not be a bad business move upon the part of the Fosters, nor could the Central apparently find reason to refuse. Grand Rapids people are thinking of banishing the two Mormon elders now in their midst.

It is not their preaching bljt their following of the tramp tatics and begn'ing from door to door, which disgusts the lower-endera. Tom Fitzgerald, an old Wausau boy who has served five years for Uncle Sam, returned to that city the other day, nnd it only required a few days stay to decide him to re-enlist. He prefers army life to Wausau. C. S.

Stockwell, of Neillsville, has in his library, in the mechanical and surveying department, a book published in 1731, on surveying, which it in claimed to have belonged to the library of George Washington and in fact bears his name on the fly-leaf. The county board appropriated $500 for the purpose of putting the proposed road through from Pitts ville to Grand Rapids. The new route shortens the distance four miles. The John Arpin Lumber company at Arpin will put in about 13,000,000 feet of logs this winter. Pj'kIidP Qrafton of Fond du L.ac, has decided to hold an ordination service at the intercession in Stevens Point the Revs.

Trowbridge and Iiraiisconi, missionaries in that jurisdiction, (Rev. Trowbridge being at present in charge of the local Episcopal guild) will be ordained. The date will probably be Dee. 20, the fourth Sunday in Advent. This ceremonial is probably the most elaborate in the church and the bishop and a number of clerical assistants will perform the rite with all of its II.

Sand Moulded Building Brick. 11 Ajio ClXAfC RAZORS If The county board of supervisors of Clark county made provision at its last meeting for the building of a new jail and sheriff's residence, to be located on the grounds east of the court house to be two stories high, built of stone, brick iron and steel, and made as near fireproof as possible.

The new building is to be fully equipped as to sewerage, city water and steam heat. $15,000 was appropriated for building purposes. Thus ends the fight over which the whole county was torn up last year. The crop of candidates for the circuit judgeship of the Seventeenth Judicial district, held by Judge Bailey, is constantly increasing. The members of the Eau Claire bar mentioned for the place so far are: Judge George C.

Teall, Frederick M. Miner, Judge A. C. Larson, James Wick- ham and one or two others. James O'Neill and C.

F. Grow of Neillsville. and a lawyer from Black River Falls are also mentioned. A call for Frederick M. Miner containing the names of about 100 of the most prominent and influential business men and manufacturers of Eau Claire, irrespective of party, is also being circulated.

Mr. Miner is running as a non-partisan republican. An order has been issued authorizing the Wisconsin Central receivers to purchase 1,000 new freight cars at an ex pense of to be be paid in sixty monthly installments of $8,657.38. The receivers state in their petition that the Manitowoc branch is in such shape that with adequate equipment the volume of traffic over the lines will be greatly increased. Two new banks will soon open their noors in this section of the state.

If the aggregate wealth of Greater New York were divided amongst its 3,500,000 inhabitants, it would give them a pro rata share of $3,800 each. It is estimated that $70,000,000 is spent each year for wines.
