Andrew Carnegie . makes the startling announcement that he dosn’t think the congressmen can grasp the tariff question. Perhaps a few of the great magnates may offer their assistance, if such is the case. Senator W. C. Owen, of Maiden Rock, Wis., has a bill in readiness, which he will offer to the legislature today for the guaranteeing of state bank deposits. It meets with the approval, it is said, of many of the legislators, to whom it has been sub mitter. Among the greatest tributes paid to Abraham Lincoln on the occasion of his 100th anniversary were those of William Jennings Bryan, at Springfield and Bourk Cochran, in Milwaukee. Thousands of people heard the speeches of those illus trious men. Assemblyman Mervin Hall from Black River Palls, has presented a bill to the legislature which, if passed, will compel each corporation to “pay to the state an annual license fee for water power used in the development of such power at the rate of 25 cents per horsepower tor the average amount of horse power developed or generated. Such a bill as that will only have the effect of making the consumer pay a higher rate for everything furnished by the water power so taxed. This is not what our people want and it is a mistake to still fur ther tax them. A Bill has been introduced into the legislature, which, if passed, will be of great importance to the various agricultural schools of the state. It provides that the regents of the university are authorized to carry on demonstrations and such experiments and investigations as they may deem advisable through out the state for the improvement of agricultural knowledge and prac tice and to conduct traveling schools of agriculture to be held in con junc tion with the county agricultural schools and of such other localities as they may deem advisable, such work to be carried out under the direction of the college of agricul ture and that the sum of $30,000 be set aside annually to carry out the purposes of the act.

What would modern educational ex- j perts have made of Lincoln if, as a ! baby, he had been put in ttyeir care'- They would probably have started him on sterilized milk, clothed him in dis infected garments, sent him to kinder- , gar ton where he would have learned to ; weave straw-bat* and sing about the Blue Bird on the Branch. Then the dentist would have straightened his teeth, the oculist wouid have fitted him with glasses, and in the primary grade he would have been taught by pictures and diagrams the difference between a cow and a pig, and through name study he would have learned that the catbird did not lay kittens. By the time he was eight he would have be come a “younggentleman,” at ten he would know more than the old folks at home, at twelve or fourteen he would take up manual training, and within two years make a rolling-pin and tie it with a blue ribbon, la the high school at sixteen, where in four years he would learn that Mars was the reputed son of Juno, and to recite a stanza from The Lady of the Lake. Then to college, where he would have joined the Glee ;<’lub and a Greek Letter Fraternity, smoked cigarettes and graduated, and then become a clerk iu a banker’s office; ami never, never do any one any harm! Well, —perhaps,—we don’t know and can’t tell what might have been, but we can’t help feeling thankful that Lincoln’s training and education were left to Nancy Hanks—and God Uni versalist Reader. Heroic Bronze Statue of Lincoln Given to University of Wisconsin. The gift to the University of Wis consin of Weinman’s heroic bronze statue of Lincoln, the only replica of the one being erected jointly by the United States and the state of Kentucky at Lincoln’s birth place, Hogdenville, Ky., and to be unveiled by President Taft on Memorial day, was announced by President Charles R. Van Hise at the Lincoln centen nary exercises at the university this morning. The statue is given to the university by Thomas E. Britting ham, Madison. The statue, which is to be placed in the center of the court of honor on the upper campus, is to be un veiled at commencement in June, one month after the unveiling of the original in Hogdenville, Ivy., on Memorial day, when it is expected that President Taft will deliver the address. The statue, which represents Liu coin seated in a massive chair, is seven feet high, which is equivalent to a standing figure nine feet pine inches in height. It is to be mounted upon a granite plinth six j feet six inches in height, the total j height of the statue and plinth to 'be thirteen feet six inches. The j sculptor is Adolph Alexander Wein ! man, who was chosen by the Lincoln ; monument commission after con siderable deliberation because of the national significance of the monu ment to be erected at Lincoln's birth place. Getting Ready to be Investigated. “Ur .e Ike” failed to secure enough votes at auy of the ballots taken in legislature the past week to elect him; on the contrary, he seems to be weakening. 11 is bluffs have had the effect of repelling rather than drawing to hitn the votes of the legislators. On Friday he received a total vote of 58. The committees which will conduct the investigation are composed as follows: Assembly—Ray, Wickman and Hambrecht. Senate—Marsh, Morse and Dust ing- Issac Stephenson, S. A. Cook and W. H. Hal ton were all in Madison this morning, to be present at the session of the special committee. The first subpoenas which will be is sued by the committee will be for the men actively engaged in the campaign work for the republican senatorial candidates and will be Messrs. K. x\. Edmonds, J.

The game was played in the high school gymnasium, which is on the third floor of the high school. The gymnasium is about as loDg as the Wausau high school gym but only twenty feet wide The narrowness of the room made it hard for the Wausau team to get iu any team work. On account of the width of the gym it was possible for one man to guard two forwards. The Point team uyuie use of this and had practi cally only one guard. The other four members of the leant speur all their time in team work or shooting at the basket. It was evident to all those who witnessed the game that ou a better floor Wausau would have had no trou ble in defeating the Stevens Point five by a large score. The score at the end of the tirst half war °6 and the score for the second hah .vns 11-8, Wausau being three points behind at the end of each half Woodward scored the largest number of points for Stevens Point, as he made twelve points Johnson and Sipes each scored live points for Wausau. The re maining points for Wattsau were made by Lam pert. The line up of the two teams was: Stevens Point Wausau Biglow e Lamport Woodward r f Johnson Griffen 1 f Sipes Ondrasac It: McConnell Grant rg Mnnim Field Baskets—Wood ward 5, Griffen 2, Sipes Lamport 2, Johnson 1 Free throws —Johnson 3, Wood ward 2, Biglow 3, Sipes 1, Griffen 1 Referee- -Schaeffer.

The following instruments were re ft ived for the physics laboratory a vernier calliper, a tube guage, a diagon al scale and several protractors. An electric fan has been attached to the hoods in the chemical laboratory to help take off the gases formed by the experiments. Now that the basket hall season is over, the boys will start training for the indoor meet or pentathelon, which will be held March fifth. An attempt will he made to schedule an indoor meet with Grand Rapids for some time this spring. The pentathelon is a class meet and is only a training for spring track work. The events of the peu tatheion will he the same this yearns last, except the running race will he longer and running broad jump will he had instead of the standing broad Jump Ben Alexander was taken sick lust week with scarlet fever and Harold Krenger is sick with diphtheria Elmer Young, who returned home from Carroll college on account of his health, is taking post graduate work in physics at the high school Anew Underwood typewriter has been secured for the commercial de partment of the high school.

Lamont and Mr. and Mrs. li I Crawford, at the home of the former, on Friday evening, gave combination Lincoln anniversary and Valentine party. The home was handsomely decorated in national colors and pictures of the martyred president. There were nine tables of players and at each a different game was played. Afur 11 o’clock, refresh ments were served, and at each plate was a heart shaped menu card, on the cover of whien was an appropriate verse and an emblem that was very in dieative of the Valentine season. The refreshments were served in various shapes in keeping with -the occasion It was midnight when the pat ty broke up and all sought their homes, having spent a very enjoyable evening. STEVENS POINT DONE UP. The Wausau Y. M.C-A basket ball team played the Stevens Point normal school's team on Friday night with the result of 40 to 25 in favor of Wausau : The Stevens Point Journal gave an j account of the game as follows The game started shortly after nine | o’clock being delayed so thaf those who wished to see the games at both schools would not he disappointed. W.-uisau started the scoring, and by the looks of the score card they kept it up. Enough scores were made in the tiist half to put them on Easy street. r lhe first half ended with the score 28 to 14 in favor of Wausau. At the end of the second half it was 40 to 25. The game was remarkable for the clean playing indulged in. Not once during the play did the participants at tempt to shift from tFe A. A. I t itles to the Marquis of Queensbury rules This in contrast with past performances, is noteworthy. However the game was fast and showed good team work and head work. The Wausau players had an advantage of size tuat enabled them to me a peculiar overhand and head throw to good effect. At basket shooting Itingle. Se.xsntilb and Wadleigh divided honors, in the first half, in the order named. In the second half Sexmith had a monopoly of the “star ’ business in this iioe. none othtr- coming any where near his mark. The players who compos, and the Wau sau team have a pedigree; Sexsmith is a form* r Lawrence university player, having played in this city with that team Hingle played on University if W isconsin team.

It is reported on what appears to be good authority that Wausau’s industrial institutions are soon to be increased by two more factories. We learn that a gentleman owning an interest in an eastern concern which manufactures pyrogrnphic art goods, receutly visited Marshfield in search of material for his establishment. At first he was some what impressed with that city as a loca tion and had almost decided to remove his plant to that city when he happened to visit Wausau. This city at once im pressed him as a favorable location, and, we understand, he has decided to locate here. Before leaving for the East he placed orders with a number of manufacturers for a large quantity of birch and other lumber. He intimated , that he would return later and select a site and make arrangements for mov ing his factory here. The other institu tion referred to above is an iron man ufacturing institution. Representatives were looking over the field last week aud there is a strong probability that such an institution will he located in Wausau in the sprit* : men’sTeague. The regular monthly meetiug of the Men’s league of the First Presbyterian church was held last evening. It was also the annual meeting for the election of officers and the following were elected: President—Dr. 11 L. Rosenbercy. Vice-Pres.—M. VV. Sweet. Secretary—C K Cowee. Treas. —Arthur Kiefer. Two new members of the executive committee: Alexander Wilson and J. Is. Taylor. The Men’s club of the First Methodist Episcopal church sent in a challenge to play either basket ball, base ball or marbles and it was voted to accept all of them and it was further voted that J A Underwood (who is said to have been an expert) represent the club in the game of marbles and it was hinted that arrangements had been made by the M E. Men’s club to put up its ex pert. Lamar Sexsmith, against him The games will be played at the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening, Feb. 24, and one thing is certain, the game of marbles will be more exciting than the greatest game of basket hall ever pulled off Rev. James Dier, pastor elect of the Presbyterian church, was present and made a brief talk which all present en joyed and appreciated. He also favored the league with two solos, which dem onstrated that he was a splendid vocal ist as well as an able preacher.
