Japanese Concert.

The japanese concert as rendered by
home talent last Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings in this city was novel
and most pleasing entertainment. The
costumes were beautiful, the singing
and instrumental. music was fine, and
the decorationgabout the stage in ex-
cellent taste. The attendance was not
as large as it should have been, but we
believe it was because the prices were
to high Space forbids further COM
ments. The Episcopal society will net
a neat little sum out Of the proceeds.
The company will present the play to a
Stevens Point audience tonight.

Wood County Bridge.

The above bridge is surely becoming
in dangerous condition, and if the
committee whose business it is to look
after it, don't soon take steps to remove
the heavy weight of snow and ice from
the bridge some accident viii occur It
seems to us that small expense in
labor would soon remove the snow and
ice. If the bridge should give way
while people and teams are crossing,
and should any be killed the county
would be held responsible. Whose
business is it to look after this matter

favorable to buyers. And especially is
this the case in frst-class Dry Goods

to carry any winter goods over to

their stores for spring arrivals. Conse-
