Something should be done about col
Letting tie garbage in Wausau. Our
city is behind the times in this regard.
The collecting and taking care of garb-

many places they have what is known
as garbage wagon, which makes the
rounds daily. In Wausau, little boys
run around with swill carts aud they
make life miserable for our people.
They have become a perfect nuisance
and there should be some way provided
to remedy the evil.
Professor Pitts athletic entertain
ment at Alexander hall, last Thursday
evening, was largely attended and
a success in every way. There was
boxing by some of Wausau's feather
weights, and Mr. Pitts pupils showed
wonderful dexterity in boxing. The
tug of war between teams formed from
the Curtis & Yale Co. and the WauSau
Paper Mills Co., was won by the former.
The club swinging by Mrs. Pitts was
very fine. Thorpe Edmonds, aged ten,
displayed much skin with the gloves
for one SO young. All who attend
ed were pleased with the enter
tainment and praises are heard on
every hand of Mr.. Pitts ability as a
teacher in athletics.
