The city of Stevens Point anticipates
from twelve to fifteen thousand visitors
within its limits tomorrow, Buffalo
Bills famous Wild West Show the
drawing card. Special rates from our
city over the Green Bay & Western R'y
So cents round trip. From all appear
ances practically the whole of the twin
cities will 90 over to see the world-re-
nOWned congress Of rough riders and
the rest Of the great big show.
The surprising event of the week is
the fact that Adam Paulus, the man
who sings bass, in Marshfeld, is not
tearing his hair because the Demo-
cratic Central committee has called and
held a county convention, yes, and
even elected delegates to congressional
convention before said congressional
convention had been called. A few
cause the Republicans did the same
thing. Consistency thou art jewel.
Adam your out of tune.

shoot well or never come home. They

erty of Mr.. Chapman, that will do his
full share Of the hunting, and without
doubt these gentlemen will return with
big bag of birds. They departed for
the "happy hunting felds' Tuesday

the same title. Our best wishes for
success 90 with these we'll known bust
ness men in their latest investment.
Stevens Point Journal: One word
about the Buffalo Bill show: This show
is so large and so famous throughout
the length and breadth Of the land that
some people are skeptical about its ap-
pearing at Stevens Point in all Its vast
ness. This is perhaps natural, but the
Journal has been assured, and the
Journal believes, that the exhibitions
given here will be equal to those given
during Worlds Fair in Chicago. The
show has not been divided, and in the
very nature of things could not be
divided And that Buffalo Bill will be
here and take part in both performances
there is not a particle of doubt. An
other thing is equally certain, and that
is if Friday, September 4th, is a fair
day, Stevens Point will have the largest
crowd in its history.
Princeton Republic: The impression
seems to be very favorable for the
Marshfield & Southeastern Railway
company to build their road through
Waushara county and through Plain
field. The road was surveyed last
month and the intervening time has
been occupied by obtaining the feeling
of the voters III regard to giving aid
The town of Oasis, which adjoins
Plainfeld on the east, has been the
last town to give in, as the towns of
Deerfeld, Wautoma, Dakota, Marion
and Neskoro have agreed to give aid.
The town of Oasis finally decided to
make proposition to the company and
if it Is accepted the town will bond it's
self for $500 Surveying will prob
ably begin next week.
