and great success. The music was eX-
cellent and all those who attended re-

out shortage in their treasury.

convenience. DR.. A. L. Ridgman, Of
Centralia, talked with DR.. H. c..

is very sick.
The Washington anniversary eXer-
cises held at the Congregational church,

frcshments were good.

the city to-day introducing samples
of Oak Lane mineral water. He left
cases with ChaS. GOuger, Charley DAILY

Wausau Central: The new county
bill will almost assuredly be defeated.
Dispatches from Madison relate that
Assemblvmen Barnum and Thompson,
of Marathon, are against the scheme
and that most of the representatives. of
the other counties affected join in the
opposition. If Marshfeld must have
county seat the prospects are that the
residents VIII be forced to procure a
toy one. There is no need of a new
county, the only demand for which is to
provide offices for few who cannot
get them at present AS we stated be-
fore, the scheme will be promptly sand
bagged and Messrs. Barnum and
Thompson will know considerable
about how it is done
