SPLENDID SHOWING
Annual Meeting of the Wausau TEL
ephone Company.--WonderfuI
Progress.
THE PRIDE OF OUR CITY.
Fifth Annual Report of the Directors
Should be Read by Everybody.

Last Tuesday evening the stockhold
ers of the Wausau Telephone Company
met in annual session in the Supervi-
sors' room at the Court House There
was a goodly attendance as there
always is at these annual meetings,
which shows that our citizens have the
welfare of the company at heart. The
reading of the fifth annual report of the
board of directors was read, which was
as follows:
DIRECTORS REPORT.
WAUsAU, Wis, Feb. 6, 1900
To the Stockholders of the Hau$au Telephone
Company:
GENTLEMEN -
In submitting to you herewith our
fifth annual report we are pleased to
make formal record of the fact that
the telephone situation has materially
changed in Wausau during the past
year. From the Inauguration of our
telephone service in November, 1895,
until July l, 1899, the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Co. furnished free telephones to
anyone in the city of Wausau who
would accept their service This was
distinctly war measure, and the
officers of that company confidently
predicted it would result in the defeat
and ruin of this company. 1t is
splendid tribute to the public spirit of
the citizens of Wausau that the old
company was finally compelled to give
up this fight. 1t is striking evidence
of the unanimity of sentiment in
Wausau for everything that means
the welfare of Wausau, and az citizens
we have just cause for pride and graft
fication at the outcome.
Our growth and prosperity the past
year have been unprecedented. AT
the time of our last annual report we
had POI telephones rented in this city,
two of which were free. We had
$343 33 cash on hand. We had $702.25
good accounts due the company, and
our total liabilities were $44.35 leaving
the net value of cash and accounts in
excess of liabilities $l001.23. During
the year we have put in an entirely
new switchboard with 400 drops ard
connections and capacity for more
commensurate with future growth.
We have paid cash dividends of 16 per
cent to our stockholders. Our ex-
change has grown from 297 telephones
in use one year ago to 369 in use at
this time. Our lines in the city have
been materially strengthened. We
have on hand now as shown by our
inventories $700 more material than
one year ago, and we have expended
in extension work, including the cost
of installing telephones for 72 new
subscribers net obtained during the
year and the new line to the paper
mill, at low estimate, $500. We
have cash on hand Feb. 1st, 1900,
S925.05 and have $729.S4 in good ac-
counts due the company, most of
which is for rentals for February,
1900, now due. That is to say,
the net earnings of our company for
the past year have been as follows:

WHAT WILL WAUSAU DO FOR ENTER
TAINAIENT
Already the matter of entertaining
the editors of Wisconsin is being talked
about by our progressive citizens, and
the conclusion arrived at seems to be
20 arrange flower carnival with cir
Gus at the Opera House in the evening.
Whatever is determined upon by our
people will be carried out to the letter,
and the editors may safely look for
something that will be far more attrac-
tive than trip to Paris. 1t is certain
that the editors will meet with an ova-
tion from start to finish along the

WAUSAU FAVORED.
Four Splendid Attractions in the New
Opera House Last Week.

The finest run of plays that have Wis
tied this city for many years, COM
meneed one week ago last Friday night
with "Mlle Fiji" This was followed
by Because She Loved Him So"
Both of these excellent productions
were commented upon in the last issue
OF the Pilot. On Tuesday Hearts of
Oak" by James A. Herne, was the
attraction, and like the two previous
plays, it was success in pleasing the
theatre going people. The stage set
ting in the first act was the handsomest
seen in our new Opera House it was
an ocean scene and was very realistic.
A good house greeted the company
The cast was excellent, and the leading
characters were E. p Sullivan as Ter
ry Dennison = James Herne as RUBY
Darrell = Nat Jones as "Owen Caro-
way;'' Ida Hamilton as "Chrystal."
The baby and the little girl were won
ders and captured the audience.
On Thursday evening, "a Lady of
Quality" was presented, introducing
Miss Eugene Blair. Owing to the
closeness with which plays had been
given, the attendance was not as large
as the entertainment warranted. Miss
Blair was excellently supported and in
cluded such well known artists as VIM.
Bramwell, John Sutherland, Lew
Baker, Gordon Lawrence, j. M. Park,
Adelyn Wesley, Cora Wells and VIM.
Proctor The time was supposed to be
17Ol, in England The costumes were
quaint and exquisite. The stage set
tings were very handsome. All to-
gether it was a delightful evenings
entertainment.
On Friday evening another most ex-
cellent entertainment was given to a
full house-"Toll Gate Inn.' This was
the equal of any of the previous plays,
though of somewhat different nature
1t is beautiful love story in the time
when Americans were fghtingthe Brit
ish for independence. The hero was Dav-
id Murray as Colonel John Maitland"
and the heroine, Miss Sylvia M. Bid
well as Hester Pennington" The
character of Captain Richard Snelln
as interpreted by Howard Truesdell,
was excellent was also that of Miss
Helen Winter, as Dorothy Maitland. ;"
But as good character as there was in
the playwas that of the half
breed by John B. Weeks. The entire
cast was excellent. 1t was great his
torical play and well received.
Mr.. Cone is to be congratulated on
being able to give the public these
excellent plays. What the people of
Wausau want are good attractions,
with such, properly distributed, good
houses may safely be counted upon.
Mr.. Cone was unable to avoid the
punching" of these excellent attrac-
tions, but he hopes to have entertain
ments more evenly distributed in the
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1900-02-13


CAPITAL STOCK.
At our first annual meeting in Febru-
ary, 1895, we reported ia shares of
stock sold at $4,000 per share, at S., 700.
Our company was organized, not as a
money making scheme, but for the pur-
pose of furnishing to the people of this
city the best telephone service at the
least expense With this end in view
no one is permitted to obtain more
shares of stock than he leases tele-
phones from the company for his own
personal use. We are an anti-hog cor
poration, and although our stock is to-
day fairly worth more than double its
face, we have always recognized that
the value of the plant had become en-
HANGED through the splendid support
given us by our people, and while we
have not urged it, we have always
favored giving the citizens of Wausau
an opportunity to obtain this stock at
par. During the three years from Feb
ruary, 1896, to February, 1899, however,
only three additional shares of stock
were sold During the past year, and
without solicitation on the part of your
directors, 30 shares of this stock have
been subscribed for, and we have today
l49 shares of stock issued 1t is for you
to determine whether this liberal policy
in disposing of our treasury stock shall
be continued
FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
We present to you herewith the fol
lowing statement of our receipts and
disbursements since our last report

The foregoing monthly estimate of
expenses includes nothing for repairs,
but we have charged the entire salary
of the superintendent and the average
monthly wages paid during the past
year for our linesmen and all other
labor, including that on new construc-
ton and installations in this estimate,
even assuming that we shall have APP
proximately the same growth the COM
ing year, the labor of these employees
on such new work more than offsets
the cost of materials needed for repairs.

in the center of the lobby and draped
with flags and surrounded by plants
and flowers. Guards were immediate
ly placed on duty At the depot nearly
200 people had congregated to await the
arrival of the body and the majority of
them followed the hearse to the Court
House.
Immediately after the casket was
placed in the Court House, large flag
was pulled up at half-mast and re-
mained so until after the funeral Flow
ers and plants of all kinds were soon in
abundance, such as palms, ferns, lilies,
red and white roses, and red, white, and
pink carnations. A photograph, of

in front on the casket, which was
viewed by all An initial floral g, the
Light Guards offering was placed on
the rear of the casket with trumpet
arranged across it. The G was made of
white roses and white carnations, while
the trumpet was made of pink carna-
nations The decorations were very
beautiful. Boxes of flowers continued
to arrive from friends and relatives at
home and abroad until the hour of the
funeral. A very pretty U. S. shield,
made of red and white carnations, was
donated by A. Luebner.
Company G and ex-members proceeded
to the Court House and from thereafter
the remains had been placed i'll the
hearse, headed the procession to the
Presbyterian church. Rev Carrier con-
Quoted the services which were very
impressive. A special choir rendered
vocal selections. The chrdrch was
crowded to its utmost capacity. After
the services the procession was re-
formed and the line of march was along
Grant, Third, and Forest streets and
Grand Avenue to the cemetery. The
hearse was drawn by four black horses,
each led by member of Company G
and the pall-bearers followed at the
rear of the hearse.
The procession was arranged as fol-
