CITY NOTES.

The annual Sunday school picnic of
the NJ E. Church, was held at the fair
grounds last Wednesday afternoon.
The plans for the new club house are
being prepared and soon there will be
great activity on the old Manson home
stead.
About dozen of Judge Silverthorn's
gentlemen friends dropped in and
played whist with him on Saturday
evening.
o. C.. Callies has received another
consignment of 1900 fans which will be
given free to his customers. A large
number of these will be distributed on
the circus grounds tomorrow.
Work will soon be commenced in
earnest on the streets, in making neces-
sary repairs and improvements. There
is but limited time in which to do the
work and the same will be pushed with
rapidity.
A team hitched in front of Hudson
store Wednesday, belonging to a
woman from the country, was fright
ened by plank falling from the new
Heinemann building near by and ran
up Third st. turning into Grant where
it was stopped, not, however, until the
wagon had been overturned and de-
molished. Several people had narrow
escapes from being run over.
There are great many entries being
made for the horse races which are to
be given by the Wausau Driving Club
on July 4th and it already looks as if it
would be one of the most successful
horse meets yet held here. The base
ball game in the forenoon will be, per-
haps, one of the hottest of the season.
Marshfeld, which plays here on that
day, will be greatly strengthened up,
and the Wausau team will also be much
stronger than it has heretofore been.
An excursion train which will be run
over from Marshfeld will stop at the
park and let those off who desire to see
the game. There is no doubt but what
the attendance at each event will be
unusually large.
The tifty-seventh annual meeting of
the American Medic Psychological AS
ISOLATION Qate association of medical
Superintendent of American Institu-
tons for the Insane, founded 1914, was
recently held in Milwaukee, and on the
program we find the name of Anne
Burnet, NJ d., formerly of this city,
now of Clarinda, Iowa. She had the
honor of being the only lady on the
program, and her paper on Cooperative
Work Among the Insane" received
much attention from the physicians in
attendance, and was broadly discussed,
and very favorably commented on by
the press. DR.. Burnet's many Wausau
friends are watching her onward course
in her chosen profession with great
deal of pleasure.
Announcement is made of the coming
marriage of f. d. Underwood to Miss
Martha Dern. The ceremony will take
place Monday evening, July LIST, at the
parsonage of the Presbyterian church.

Underwood is too well known to need
introduction, he having for years acted
as city editor of the Central Wisconsin.

catch of fish. They caught 100 pounds

well. A little transformation given
them at the lake, beat the editor of this
paper out of a good dinner, but then we
are accustomed to being beaten. They
were told that they could ship but &c
pounds of fish, and the amount which
they wished to bring to their friends,
had the nice string which M. H. had
caught for us been added, would have
exceeded 20 pounds in weight. A per-
usal of the game laws at the shipping
point corrected the error but it was
then too late. We will provide fisher
men with copies of the game laws here
after when they go to fish in the vicinity
of Mark Barnum's homestead
