sentative men and thus made it pos
sible for the new house to be built.
The proposition was to build s25.
600 opera house, which would seat $50
people, our citizens to purchase the $50
seats at $1,000 each. a contract was
entered into with Messrs. Johnston &
Fischer, they to commence to build as
early in the spring in 1899, as possible
and to complete the building by Jan.
LIST, 1900, provided that the seats were
sold. John B. Arthurs made the canvass
and was very successful, having closed
the sale sometime in March, and right
here let US say that Mr.. Arthurs has
been a potent lever in the success of the
undertaking. He is one of the most
genial and best fixed men that has come
to our city for many Il day, and we had
hoped that he would become fixture
here as manager may be he will.
A site was secured east of the court
house, being purchased from j. E.
Leahy and G. d. Bartz, and the ground
was broken for the erection of the
elegant structure on the Both of May.
II. II. Button, the firms able builder
and all round manager came here to
conduct the work and he did it from
start to finish, of course, under the
watchful eye of Mr.. Johnston.

the work in hand, in behalf of our city,

THE democrats of Milwaukee are in a
fair way to learn that holding the offices
is not always a help towards gaining
the next election. 1t so happened that
a democratic mayor and council were
in when the street car company asked
for an extension of its franchise. To as
sumo that republican mayor and coun-
Gil might have done as badly does not
help the matter We have less patience
with democratic officers who are dis
honest or incompetent than with repub-
LEANS who are So Republicans have
done worse in Chicago than Mayor Rose
and his council have done. But Repub-
licans have not been making as much
claim as democrats, in recent years, to
be in favor of reform and honest admin
istration in office. 1t will probably
take the voters of Milwaukee a good
while to take stock in democratic prom
Uses again. 1t is thus that present
victory may mean future political de-
feat and disgrace, as it did when the
democratic party elected Grover Cleve-
land, man so utterly out. of sympathy
with democracy that he boosted of our
defeat in 1896, as personal victory for
himself.

fire, reciting experiences encountered
while trying to secure another, and the
final move which resulted in bringing
Messrs. Johnston & Fischer to our city
and the building of the opera house.
His remarks abounded in witty sayings
and pleasant illusions and more especi-

formed by the citizens committee and
the faithful way in which Messrs John

At the close of his remarks, Mr.. Hur-

The event to which the people of
Wausau had been looking forward for
such long time took place last night
the opening of the new opera house. 1t
was a notable social function and at
tended by a large and brilliant gather
ing, in fashions finest raiment and a
wealth of flowers. The new theater
was a great surprise to everybody, for
it was beautiful beyond description
Even those who had been in, time and
time again, had never seen it when
ablaze with light; when the decorations
and furnishings showed off to the best
advantage, and there were exclama-
tons of wonder and delight to be
heard on every hand. 1t was indeed a
momentous affair in the history of
Wausau.
The opera house was simply packed.
Every seat was taken and there were
many chairs placed about to accommo-
date all, as some invitations had been
sent out to people in adjacent cities.
The lights were turned on as early as
6 O clock and there were bright rays
streaming from every window, and the
outside Fights, placed at every door in
the building, all conduced to make a
picture, that attracted the attention of
all who passed along Third street. and
made their hearts swell with pride to
think that we really had another beau
tiful opera house.

curtain is after HAUL 1t is a
beautiful piece of work, showing an
ocean scene with fishing smpcks com
ing in and men at work on the beach
getting ready to unload. The picture
is study for lovers of art, and great
addition to the appearance of the opera
house. Messrs. Geo. H. Johnston and
John Fischer are the builders and
owners of the Wausau oyera house.
They have built many houses but we
will only name few which they
have erected in the past few years:
Mattoon, Lincoln, Freeport, and two at
kewaunee, all in Illinois; Vicksburg
Joplin, Greenville, Chillicothe, Fa-
yette and Paris, Mo-; Wausau, Wis;
and they have under construction,
houses in Rock Island, H.; Kokomo,
Ind; Muscatine, Ia, and Green Bay,
Wis.
Our citizens are exceedingly proud
OF their new theater and feel that they
have as coy temple of the drama as
can be found anywhere in cities OF
much larger size than Wausau.
