1t was the intention in Wausau to
have given the editors ride into the
country to Marathon City, and have a
special train on the Northwestern rat
road meet them there and bring them
back to the city To this end the trans
portation committee, consisting of G.
ID. Jones, E. c. Kretlow, w w. Wilson
and II. q McCrossen, made application
to ID. McNaughton, agent in Wausau
for the Northwestern road, and asked
for special train from Wausau to Mar
athon City and return and requesting
that the charge be made as reasonable
as possible. Mr. McNaughton wrote
into headquarters and a reply came
back TO tender the committee the use of
a special train consisting of rs many
cars as was necessary, and for as long
timesas the committee desired, free of
any cost. The previous rains had made
the roads SO muddy that the trip could
not be taken, hence the special was not
called for Nevertheless the kindly
and generous spirit shown by the North
western road is greatly appreciated by
our citizens.
The editors are the guests of the st.
Paul R'y Co., and certainly the officials
of that road have provided every COM
fort possible, giving them special
train of six coaches with baggage car.
The train is in the hands of a compe-
tent and obliging force of men, who do
not spare themselves to make the trip
delightful one r. Goodrich, the local
station agent, is deserving of much
credit for the unceasing attention he
gave to the welfare of the editors while
in Wausau
On Thursday evening the editorial
party departed from Merrill to Toma-
hawk, and remained there until Friday
evening and then went on to Rhine
lander; at both of these places they
were entertained as only the people of
this section can entertain when they set
out to do SO. On Saturday morning the
excursionists went TO Plum Lake for a
weeks outing. They will be at Brad
ley's camps on Plum Creek, where
arrangements have been made to amply
provide for about $50 people.
Much of the credit for the big success
of the picnic dinner at the fair grounds
is due to L. X. Wright, who was the
right" man for pushing it to high
pinnacle of perfection and bounteous-
ness. He had enough loaves and fishes
left to feed another editorial party of
like size and capacity, had they sudden
ly come among us. He was ably assist
ed in his work by M. B. Rosenberg and
John F. Lamont.
The people of Wausau should feel
especially grateful that they have a
man like ex-Mayor Joseph Reiser to
call upon at such occasions, whose
unceasing energy was directed for a
week preceding the arrival of the edi-
tors, toward getting everything in
shape for their proper reception. He
has the common veal of the city at
heart, and does not spare himself on
any occasion when the city or county
is to be benefited.
The presiding officer for the women
of the city, Mrs. NJ A. Hurley, dis
charged the duties of her position with
grace and tact, and her indefatigable
efforts among the ladies caused them
to do their best in all that they under
took.
