SITE SELECTED.

The much talked-of site for the loca-
ton of the school of agriculture and
domestic economy has at last been se-'
lected by the committee. This commit
tee was composed of the following gen.
tlemen; Christ. Franzen, chairman
A. L. Kreutzer, H. S. Blanchard, Jos.
Burger, Carl Nieman and j. F. Lamont
After consideration of offers by Ii
FL. Manson, j. NJ Smith, Dunbar &
Brown, Klein & Heinemann, Mrs
Mary Poor, H. B. Huntington and G. S
Curtis and of sites on N Third and n
Sixth streets, the committee finally Sc
lected the site offered by G. S. Curtis,
which is located on the Marathon City
road just east of the fair grounds.
Eight lots are given free by Mr.. Curtis,
while 100 has been pledged by the
west side people to buy seventeen adj
ditional lots. This will take in five lots
on the north side of the road and TWEEN
ty on the south side, and will include all
of Block II and part of Block of A.
Warren Jr.'s West Addition to the city
of Wausau.
AS to the wisdom of selecting this
site there is, of course, a difference of
opinion, but the committee used its
own discretion, and therefore shoulders
all blame if there is 30 stached to the
act.
The plans submitted by Jennings, the
Madison architect, have been accepted.
These plans call for a building costing
about $4,000, and as soon as the frost
is out of the ground in the spring, work
will be commenced on the erection of
the proposed structure. The next diff
Guilty to be encountered will be the
finding of man capable of taking
charge of the school.

WEATHER IN THE SOUTH.

j a. Porter, who has been down in
Mississippi for the past few weeks with
Louis Dessert, of Mosinee, returned
home on Wednesday. JUDD says
that he never, in all his life, was so
cold, for a spell, as he was down where
all is supposed to be warmth and sun
shine. A few days before he started
home, he was out looking over timber
and it was uncomfortably warm. That
night there was heavy thunder storm
and the rain continued all night and
the next day the wind blew gale from
the north, and, borne on its wings,
came the cold wave. Mercury went
down to nearly zero. The houses there
are built so as to let in the breezes
rather than to keep them out, as in the
north, and not stove in sight just
to give you an idea how cold it was, !"
said Mr.. Porter, "a cat in the room in
which we slept, was found dead in the
morning, frozen stiff"
