TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION.
The Marathon County Telephone Co.
Will Build It's Initial Line From
Wausau to Mosinee.

The Marathon County Telephone Co.
will Immediately begin the construc-
ton of its initial line from here to Mosi-
nee, and it will not let the contract,
but will hire the work done, so as to be-
come fully acquainted with the cost OF
construction, upon which its future
operations in the county will be based.
Orders have already been placed for
1000 poles, and as soon as the first con-
signment of them is received. work
upon the line will be begun in earnest.
After completing the line to Mosinee,
the company will run line westward
to Marshfield by way of Marathon
City, Edgar and Fenwood, with a
branch line from Edgar to Athens,
by way of Poniatowski This
will bring the southern and
western portions of the county
within a stones throw of each other,
figuratively speaking, and will be a
great stimulus TO business in general at
points through which the lines pass.
1t would seem that the time is not far
distant when every up-to-date farmer
in the county will have telephone con-
nection with Wausau, and it would
have its advantages in many ways.

MERCHANTS WILL RUSTICATE.
Starting From Milwaukee, the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
ciarion Will Visit the Copper
Country.-On 9th Day Out
Will Reach Wausau.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association has selected the two middle
weeks of August for its annual outing,
at time when the glorious country of
the North puts forth its best weather,
when it is cool enough to be pleasant,
and warm enough to be thoroughly
comfortable. The far landscape stands
out against the sharp line of the hori-
zon with undimmed clearness, the
waters are q clear blue, the air is a
goldenyellow and happiness Is in every
thing.
The plans so far perfected are to leaye
Milwaukee, going north along the
lake shore division of the Northwestern
road and stopping at Sheboygan, Mani
towoc and Green Bay. The second day
will be spent at Marinette, Menominee
and Escanaba, followed by night run
to Marquette, where the day following
will be spent, together with glimpses OF
Ishpeming and Nagaunee From there
the run will be made to the copper
country, where four days WI be en-
joyed by side excursions to the copper
towns and mines; then on the eighth
day the excursionists viii continue
their way to Ashland, Hurley, Iron
wood and Rhinelander coming in for a
share of this days attention. On the
ninth day the train will make Toma.
hawk, Merrill and Wausau; on the
tenth, Marshfield, Stevens Point and
Waupaca; on the eleventh, Neenah,
Menasha and Oshkosh, spending the
night at the latter point and leaving
there in the forenoon for Fond du Lac,
from which the run to home in Mil
waukee viii be made.
1t will be a delightful trip, and an
other occasion afforded Wausau to
show her beauties and advantages to
people of the southern part of the
state. The reckoning of our true
worth is at hand; we are no longer a
backwoods town filled with lumber
jacks but a hustling, thriving hive OF
industry and future promise. Let US
favorably impress our visitors, the
editors and merchants. that we may be
the Mecca Of other important vista
tions in the future.

PROFITABLE LECTURE.

A profitable lecture on vocal culture
was given in the Universalist church
last Tuesday evening by Madame
Medini, better known to Wausau peo-
pie as frankie Miller" who had come
here from Chicago upon the earnest
solicitation of friends, to give instruc.
ton to class A good-sized audience
was present, aud the speaker began her
lecture by giving some happy re-
miniscences of her early life in
Wausau, when she was but girl.
She made her first appearance upon the
stage in this city, at "a public entertain
ment, and out of that early beginning
sprang up n life work in music. The
speaker told of her early struggles,
from time to time when she attended
singing school in Wausau, until she
stood before the great masters of music
in Italy, France and Germany. She
explained the methods used in teaching
vocal music in the three countries, and
believed that best results were obtained
by combining the three methods. The
music of Italy springs from the emo
tions, and is therefore emOtioaal; that
of France springs from the tip of the
tongue, partaking of the artificial;
while that of Germany springs from
tremendous lung power, having much
volume and declamatory strength.
Madame Medini proved to her hearers
that diaphragmatic breathing gives the
best results in singing, as it is deep
seated and capable of retaining a tre-
mendous reserve power which can be
used as needed. A short reception was
held following the lecture, at which
time many old-time friends renewed
their acquaintance with the frankie"
they had played with in childhood.
The class to study vocal music will
meet on Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day evenings of each week, and four or
five weeks will be devoted to study, fol-
lowing which the citizens of Wausau
may be treated to an opera, in which
local talent will participate. The class
as now started is made up of some
thirty members.

RUNAWAY.

The gray team of Dakota broncos,
owned by FrcuK Ross, ran away in the
alley back of his home on Friday after
noon shortly after one o'clock. Mr..
Ross was engaged in arranging the
lines when the horses started, and he
elung to them until Sixth street was
reached when he saw that he was only
risking his life, with little prospect of
stopping the runaways. When the
horses started, a wagon belonging TO
VIII Paff was tied to the rear end OF
Mr.. Ross wagon, and it slowed from
side to side, breaking down part OF
James Haskin's shed and ripping sever
al boards of of Chas. Heppner's fence.
The runaways continued along the
alley back orr H. Johnson's residence.
until they were brought to q standstill
against Leopold Kreide's rag wagon,
which was standing in the alley at the
time, when they turned to one side and
ran into Chss. Edgar's barn, where
they were secured. Mr. Paff s wagon
was practically broken into splinters-
ard parts of the harness suffered severe.
|ly. Luckily no one was hurt, cad fhe
horses escaped lniary.

TAKES THE LEAD.

From 1890 to 1895, the increase in
farming population in Marathon Coun-
ty was 4,465, and was the largest in
crease of any county in the state for the
five years. There were four other
counties, viz /: Douglas, Marinette,
Milwaukee and Winnebago, that
showed greater gains in population
from 1890 to 1895, than Marathon, but
this was due, in those counties, to the
growth of cities. The population of
Winnebago county, outside of Oshkosh,
Neenah and Menasha, increased only
/, 148; Douglas, outside of Superior, in
creased by 2. .333, and Marinette, outside
of the city of Marinette, 3,194. The in
crease in the Milwaukee county was
practically all in the city and its sub
urbs. We make a guess that Marathon
county will again lead the list in this
state for increase of the farming popu-
lation.

solution had been adopted by that body

Thursday. He had been originally
booked for Mankato, and had then
been assigned to Good Thunder in
stead. The change was properly sent
in to headquarters by the county COM
mittee, but it appears that the state
committee did not inform Mr.. Kieffer
of the change. The ex-Congressman
thought that he was to speak in Man
kato, and arrived on the eight o'clock
train that evening, when it was too
late for him to reach Good Thunder
in time. Attorney A. Eberhart was
sent to fill the appointment and found
a full house awaiting him. The hall
was filed, and Mr.. Eberhart handed
out very neat speech. Although it is
difficult for one speaker to step in when
another is expected, Mr.. Eberhart
acquitted himself well.
