Wausau Fire.

Through the kindness of Mr.. n,
Gerard, who was in Wausau Monday,
We obtained the following items about
the fires up the line. The losses in
Wausau will probably foot up to $780,
600. 1t seems that the fire originated
from the Mcdonald Lumber Co.'S slab
pile and the severe wind that blew all
the afternoon on this day famed the
flames and soon started an uncon-
trolable fre B. G. Plumber had his
yards stripped of all the lumber in
them, possibly 100000 feet.
The Alex Stewart Lumber Go. lost
all their tracks, dry sheds and some
where near 100000 feet of lumber.
This firms loss alone will reach $780,
000 We understood they were
carrying 100000 insurance. This is
mere rumor. B. G. Plumber had ne
insurance on his lumber.
The Lake Shore road lost its round
house, and the depot was finally saved
alter everything movable had been
removed therefrom. The railroad ties
were burned in the yards and the iron
all badly twisted out of shape. The
loss to the railroad campany was small
IN comparison with the millmen. Sever
al small buildings, barns, sheds, etc.,
located down adjacent to the lumber
yards were burned. This loss will be
greatly felt in Wausau and will throw
great many men out Of employment
RUNKLEs MILL.
A, Arians saw mill, known as
Runkles mills, including about 400, 900
feet of lumber and four dwelling
houses were burned Monday afternoon
during the gale. The fire swept this
entire little village out Of existence in
less than two hours. The fire origi-
mated from sparks out Of the railroad
engine. In the morning when the
passenger train went up the line every
thing at the sta Cl0n was moving along
serenely, but in the evening the train
was delayed over two hours on account
OF the fire. In his fire our townsman
Mr.. N. Gerard lost 100000 feet of
lumber which he purchased there last
week. One car load was billed and
ready to ship, and the balance was
going to be shipped at the earliest pos
sible moment. This is hard loss for
brother Gerard, but he is in hopes that
the company will pay for at least the
car load burned. The loss here will
reach probably $50,000 No insur-
ance.

The old Rablin store building with
lots belonging thereto were purchased
last week of Mr. Hyde by Mr.. J. D.
Witter for the small sum of $3.50.
We are pleased to know that most of

is being purchased by men who are able
to carry it, or do something with the
property. The building will probably
be moved down into the business part
Of the city and occupied.

Gard from Rev. @. E. Groser.

EDITOR DAILY Honolulu Press
.Sir'-It is rather amusing to read in
your issue of the goth that the Rev.
MIR. Oleson then took the floor and
read an extensive criticism and re-
view upon the management of the
Reformatory School. But it is matter
of serious regret to me to read that it
seemed to those present personally
pointed and received much mental
comment.
l cannot believe, with all due respect
for your opinions on the subject, that
my paper would have been received
with such generous applause, nor
that so many leading and influential
teachers and members of the Associa-
ton, such as the Rev. S. E. Bishop,
Mr.. Scott, Mr.. Furneaux, Mrs. Henry,
Mrs. Wallace, DIR. Hyde and others
would have SO kindly congratulated
me if my paper had dealt in personal
invection, and the animus of my state
ments was all the way through of the
nature of personal attacks.
The committee wanted the truth and
no lie, and the object of the paper was
to set forth the writer's view of what
he thought should be the way in which
a school of this sort should be con-
Quoted. Gentlemen who have been
consulted on the subject of your crit
cism have said that the very reverse
of what you say was the fact, and that
the present Principal of the institution
should see by careful reading of the
paper that he is very considerably
relieved from blame. The paper will,
however, shortly be before the public,
with the few remarks that we're made
in addition, and l hope sincerely that
it will be seen that my whole intention
was to make it clear that to develop
the school into what it should be, an
"Industrial and Reformatory Institu-
tion," there should be increased facili-
ties for industries, and more religious
and moral restraint and discipline.

Hawaiian flags projecting each side in
a reversed position, with all the appro
pirate colors of the flag beautifully
enameled on the gold. On the face OF

letters, on a plain back ground. This
is the finest piece of workmanship of
the kind ever made in Hawaii.
The "Brodie" medal also is a
beautiful design in the shape of a
Maltese gold cross, having target in
the center, with H. R. A. at the top,
forming the pin from which the
cross is pendant, and a curved plate
underneath, with space left for name of
the recipient to be engraved.
The first prize in the Consolation
Match is an elegant pair of sleeve
buttons, with gold back and beveled
square face, made out of the kukui

manufactured by Messrs. Spear &

artistic taste. There also is Spring

in the 2oo-yard match, which is second

purpose, for despite his most frantic en-
deavors to make good his escape "Black
Jack" was upon him, at the same time

exhausted animal with yelps that would have
done credit to kanaka in the "smal hours"
Of national holiday. Once the wolf passed

while passing farm house monstrous black
Newfoundland dog put in an appearance and
bounced upon the wolf in a manner that meant
business from the word 90. The encounter,
however, proved of short duration and the
Newfoundland made hasty retreat, a wiser
dog. The wolf again made trail, while "Jacl"
and | followed suit. In this way we con-
tinued for several miles, when finally upon
reaching large pond of water, the half frantic
and completely exhausted animal plunged to
the very center, where he proposed crest"
'Jack" and |, however, entertained different
view of the situation, and as the water was
clear and the bottom solid, rode right in
after him, and for a time kept him moving
about that pond at lively rate, "Jack
apparently enjoying the sport as well as my
self All at once | saw our two fox-hounds
coming on the trail, with several of the grey
hounds in close persuit; and now, as one dog
after another closed in upon the scene Of
battle, each punging into the water to get
snap at the VOLTS ear, it presented picture,
the nature Of which is Of rare occurrence. The
battle continued for full half hour, when
could plainly see that the wolf was more than
a match for his tormentors while in the water;
so called of the hounds and retreated little
distance to await results. | had not long to
wait, for the wolf soon emerged from his
watery resting place and again skipped across
the grassy plain. let him get reasonably fair
start and then let the hounds go; the chase
this time was short but full of excitement, and
when again overtaken a genuine fight ensued,
resulting in victory for the dogs. l now dis
mounted, secured the scalp as trophy of
victory and returned to camp.
