Michigan, the gentleman who furnlsnee
the plans and specifications for the
school house was in town yesterday
and to-day.
F. D. Cross of Oshkosh was in town
Tuesday and Wednesday to make CON
tract with the school board to act as
principal of our schools for the com
ming year. Mr.. Cross is graduate OF
the Oshkosh Normal School and judg-
ing from his appearance will give us a
good school.
The contractors have begun laying
the brick wall for the school house.
They are using the Twin River brick
made few miles from town and they
make a very fine looking wall. The
masons say that they are of excellent
quality.
%. w. Avery & Cos saw and shin
gle mill closed down Saturday, having
cut all the logs they had on hand.
Last spring they had made calculations
to do considerable summer logging to
keep the mill busy but the hard times
comming on making it difficult to make
sales they concluded to saw out the
stock they had on hand and shut down.
&C. A. Miller, who homesteaded
piece of land two miles above Eagle.
has already cleared and improved quite
farm, and tells us that the land in
that section produces we'll, and in any
ordinary season farming will be profit
able. The dry weather this season has
been serious calamity. Wausau
Torch.
1t is reported that Jas. Cavner and
Mike McGrrw are lying out IN the
woods about twenty rods from h.
Millards homestead on the banks OF
Eagle Lake thoroughfare, one with
charge of No shot i'll his back and
shoulders and the other nursing similar
wounds in his head and face. Rumor
further has it that they were placed
there by Mrs Willard, that the two men
came to the house during Mr.. Willard
absence and were attempting to take
some liberties with Mrs Willard which
she resented dy empting shotgun in
to them with above results.
Yesterday morning about three
o'clock fire was discovered in the depot
building at Watersmeet. They had no
fire projection there and before it could
be cot under control the depot building
and platform, the railroad eating
house and the residence of Mr.. johnson
who runs tho eating house were en-
tirely consumed and it was only by the
hardest kind of work that the round
house and coal sheds were saved, "A
number of box cars also caught fire
but thew were pulled out aud saved:
The fire was 50 hot that it cracked
the windows in the store buildings
across tho street but fortunately the
wind was blowing the other way or
the whole town would have been de-
strOyeG.
We wish to call the attention OF
the town board to the condition of the
road leading out past the cemetery. 1t
has very unsightly appearance. Filth
and rubbish have been dumped all
along for some distance. This is one
of the principal roads leading into the
village and at least until you get be-
vo,d the cemetery should be kept as
clean as any street in the village. Inc
practice of dumping rubbish, filth and
offal from the meat markets along any
of the roads leading to the village
should be prohibited by ordinance ana
that which has already accumulated
should be burned.
H. Finger, Vice President and
manager of the Gerry Lumber 20. spene
a couple of days at Appleton the latter
nart of last week talking over the SIT
nation with the other officers OF the
COMPANY. Saturday he telegraphed
hack TO shut the mill down until he got
hack. Ho returned Monday and called
q meeting of his men for that evening
where he made proposition 10 tne
men to pay them sometime this month
all that was due them up to Sep. LIST ana
for all work after that give them due
bills due April l, 1894. and told the
men that that was the best they could
do and if they did not wish to accept
that the mill would remain closed down
The majority of the men accepted the
nropposition and the mill started up
| that evening and will continue to run
one side night and day.
