WILL COST MONEY.

Very few people understand the
amount of labor that is being expended
on the new dam at Brokaw or the
amount of money that the same will
cost. The dam after it is constructed
will be one of the finest ever built in
this state and will withstand any flood,
no matter how great. The crew have
been at work for quite while but will
not have the dam completed before
February 1st. The dam will be 1870 feet
long, IL feet wide and 40 feet high, will
be built on bed of rock with rock walls
on either end The contract was let to
Lang & Hill, of Menomonie, Wis. This
firm has constructed dams for the past
twenty years but this dam will be
about the finest piece of work it has
eyer did, and these people will receive
$4,000 when the same is completed.
Lang & Hill are doing all the wood
work w.ile the contract for the rock
work was lei to p S. Kirkland, also of
Menomonie. The latter will complete
his work in about two weeks more.
He has already sunk 1000 square yards
of rock into the cribs and before his
labors are completed he will have to
handle some $4,000 square yards of
stone. The contractors are pushing
the work as rapidly as possible for they
have contracts to fill in Northern
M;nnaSota and of Rico Iaka thic state
which they are anxious to commence.

SURPRISED FRIENDS.

For some time past Hiram Dunfield's
many friends have been laboring under
the idea that he was contemplating
leaving the world of single blessedness
and entering that of the benedict But
to all inquiries made on the subject ne
was as dumb as the proverbial oyster.
Now the truth of the matter is known,
for Hi is no longer alsingle man. On
December 9Th he was united in the holy
bonds of wedlock to Marie S. Sandon,
of this city. The ceremony took place
at the home of the bride on the west
side. and was performed by Justice of
the Peace, j. A. Jones' AS Hi is not
one of the kind that tells everything he
knows, the matter did not become news
until recently, Hiram Dun6eld, who
has lived in Wausau for great many
years, is perhaps as well krown as any
man in this northern section, and his
legions of friends extend to him their
best wishes for his future happiness in
his new estate. The bride is q lady
well calculated to make home happy
and will prove help meet to her hus.

EXAMINATION POSTPONED.

Frank Schwantes, charged with the
murder of VIM. Klokow and wife, near
Spencer, was taken over to that town
last Thursday for his preliminary exam
ination. He was to have had bis hear
ing before A. b. Barney but the defend
ants attorneys, Marchetti & Bump,
asked for a change of venue on the
grounds that Barney had taken too
active an interest in the matter and
had been instrumental in having pro-
ceedings brought against Schwantes.
The change was granted and the case
sent to Justice Andrews, who was one
of the jurors at the time of the inquest.
AT the time the case was called District
Attorney Manson requested that the
case be postponed because he had not
yet procured all the witnesses he de-
sired. The request was granted and
the case was postponed to Saturday,
December 22d.

YULE TIDE ALMOST HERE.

One week from today is Christmas,
and it bids fair to be happy day to all
in Wausau and vicinity, if one may
judge from the packages which are
being taken here and there. The only
thing sofar to detract from this happy
season, up among the pines, is the lack
of snow. This takes out much of the
life and cheerfulness of the occasion,
and, too, it makes trade dull with our
merchants. Holly and the mistletoe,
the emblems of Christmas tide, are on
sale at the different stores. Christmas
dinners, Christmas presents and Christ
mas trees will be much in evidence
next Tuesday, but we hope there will
be no home in Wausau lacking in these
things which go to make up happy
Christmas.

LUCKY ESCAPE.
Jamie Ryan Accidentally Shot While
Out Hunting.

Last Saturday afternoon, Jamie Ryan,
son of Judge I. G. Ryan, of this city,
went out hunting rabbits and was ac-
companied by two of his schoolmates.
They went into the woods on the west
side, in the southwestern part of the
city. While all were together, rabbit
was spied running by and rush was
made for him with Jamie in the lead.
The boy next to him, it seems, saw the
rabbit and was about to shoot, when he
tripped, causing premature discharge
of his rifle. The ball entered young
Ryan's leg in the tieshy part. He inn
mediately informed his companions of
what had happened, and they endeav-
ored to stop the flow of blood, for the
wound was pleading freely, and in their
efforts were quite successful. One of
of the boys started off for town for as
sistance while the other remained with
the injured boy. When he reached the
first house where a telephone was han.
dy he called for DR.. Jones, who re-
sponded, after which he met the electric
light trimmer, and informing him OF
Ryan's predicament, the latter drove to
the place, placing the boy in the buggy,
he was brought to the nearest house
where he was left until DR.. Jones ar
rived and dressed the wounc
Although the wound was bad flesh
one, and bled quite profusely, it is not
considered dangerous, fortunately the
bullet was small one-22 calibre-or il
might have been more serious.

DEATH FROM INJURY.

At the Riverside Hospital this morn
ing at 3.t5 occurred the death of Ed
ward Smith. The cause of death was
exhaustion. Last July Mr.. Smith,
while at work in the John Manser mill
at Kelly as head sawyer was injured,
and on the 9th of that month entered
the hospital, where he has been con-
fined ever since. He was member of
good standing in the Masonic society,
Plover Lodge, but had not communi-
Gated the fact until few days ago, so
that the local lodge had but little OPP
portunity to render him any aid. He
was young man, being but 81 years of
age.
His remains will be escorted to the
st. Paul depot this evening by the local
Masons, and will be sent to Milladore,
his home, for burial Mrs Smith, whe
was present at time of death, will ac-
company the remains home.

THE REUTER- CONCERT.

| Last Wednesday evening Wausau
music lovers were privileged to indulge
in feast such as Is seldom spread even
in large cities, program where every
number is a work of art in itself and
there is no poor player to detract from
the pleasure of the evening.
Mr.. Reuters numbers were entirely
new to Wausau, as he never plays a
piece twice except by special request,
and there has never been any other
violinist in Nausau who would even
dare to attemp. the music that he plays
with such artistic ease. As an encore
to the "Calabresen he played his latest
production, Smiles and Tears" work
that in composition and execution
would have done credit to one of the
old masters.
Miss Belle Heinemann made her first
appearance before a Wausau audience
since her graduation from the Boston
Musical Conservatory. Everyone ex-
pected much from one who had been q
fine player before leaving Wausau, and
no one was disappointed. The marvel
GUS execution of the Beethoven Con-
certo proved Miss Heinemann's perfect
control over her Item servants and
her other numbers revealed great
sweetness and force of expression
Miss Heinemann has won a well de-
served position among the very best of
our musicians.
The vocal numbers on the program
were such as only Mr.. and Mrs. F. w
Kickbusch, Jr., can give. Mrs. Kick
busch has a voice with all the sweet
ness and power that nature and good
education can give, with none of the
atfectation and show so often found
among singers. "Elsa's Traum" was
indeed enough to make the audience
dream and regret to awake. Mr.. Kick
busch has fine voice which he used to
the best of advantage in the Prologue
from Bocaccio."
Mrs. E. v. Speer was accompanist
for the evening. The skillful and sym
pathetic accompaniment of violin or
voice is difficult art that few possess
as Mrs. Speer does.
Altogether the whole evening was
one to be long remembered by those
who heard it as a pleasure among pleas
ures, and it deserved packed house.
Why all Wausau will rush to cheap
show, or troupe that calls itself must
cal, is still an unsolved problem. Why
they will not attend such concert as
was given last week is another problem.
II don't understand classical music is
all right-when poor amateur is
numbering the classics, but when it is
played or sung as we heard it last We'd
nesday, it must be appreciated by any
one who has the least spark of m usic in
him.

LODGE HALL DISCUSSION.

At a meeting held last Sunday after
noon, at Forest hall, for the purpose of
discussing the plan of building joint
lodge hall, nearly every lodge in the
city was represented by a committee.
The meeting was called at three o'clock
but no permanent organization was
affected, Mayor Anderson acting as Sec
Rotary. The matter was thoroughly
discussed and great many plans were
submitted as to the manner of pro-
cedure, and three of these which seemed
the most feasible and practical We're
adopted for the time being, and will be
submitted to all lodges in full so that
they may arrive at some conclusion as
to which is the best plan to finally
adopt
One plan was to unite all lodges into
an organized body similar to the local
telephone company, and erect public
building and lodge hall, shares of stock
selling at so each, each share Icing
allowed one vote, and it was estimated
that 10000 could be raised in this way
for this purpose.
The second plan was similar to the
above in every way, except that no
lodge members, except those in good
standing, be allowed to purchase stock
and that none be sold to outsiders.
The third plan was to interest citizens,
who had plenty of idle money, in the
erection of suitable building, the
planseof which are to be furnished by
the lodges. The societies are to enter
into contract to lease the lodge rooms
for a period of ten years, with a privi-
lege of ten more. This plan is that
two lodge rooms be arranged, ban
quet hall and reception room. The
banquet room to be furnished with fur
niture and dishes, which are to be com
mon property of all lodges.
Another meeting will be held in Jan
uary at which time the societies will
have acted upon this matter and their
committees can make their reports.

AT WHEELER.S SUGGESTION.

Philippine Catholic Churches to he Re-
membered From This Country.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, in q letter to Miss Fannie
Wheelan, q prominent Catholic Of this
city, has set on foot q movement to aid
the poor churches Of the Philippine and
Ladrone islands. In this letter General
Wheeler says:
During my recent visit to the Phil
ippines aud the Ladrones l vas much
impressed with the great devotion Of
the women, and it occurred to me that
it would be q graceful thing for the
Catholic en- Of our country to show
their appreciation Of the piety Of their
sisters of the East in some substantial
way.
while on the island Of Guam, where
there are six churches, l inquired what
would be the most acceptable present,
and was informed that the churches,
which are very similar to u small
country churches, need stations Of the
cross"
Miss Wheelan is associated with Mrs.
Thomas F. Ryan Of New York in the
work for poor churches Of the United
States Tabernacle society, the object OF
which is to furnish necessary articles
for churches which are too poor to pro-
cure them. Their work has been chiefly
with the Indian missions.
