CITY NOTES..

The past few days nave Deen Scorch-
ers, the thermometer registering up
near the 100 mark. Whew
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Alexander and
sons arrived in New York from abroad
last Saturday. They are expected
home the latter part of this week.
A meeting of the school board was
held last evening at the high school.
Quite a little business was transacted,
mostly of a routine nature, All the old
janitors were reappointed at the same
salaries.
Shredder Bros proprietors of the
Vienna bakery, have decided to close
out their stock. While they have done
a fairly profitable business yet unfor-
seen contingencies have arisen that
makes it prudent for them to close.
The case of Michael Novak, farmer
living east of town, against the G. & N.
w. R'y Co. was tried yesterday in Judge
Miller's court. Some TING ago one of
Novak's horses was killed by train of
the defendant company and he brought
suit for damages. A decision was rem
dered awarding to him judgement of
$175.
Emil Breitkreutz, of this city, who
went down to the Buffalo exposition to
compete in the High school track events
won the mile open race last week. In
this race were some of the fastest run
ners of the country, but the Wausau
boy won out. He went down unat-
tended, went into the race and won,
and upon his return will receive an
ovation from his school friends.
The editor and his wife, says an ex-
change, disagree with each other very
materially. She sets things to rights
and he writes things to set. She reads
what others write and he writes what
others read. She keeps the devil out of
the house as much as possible and he
retains him and could not go to press
without him. She knows mere things
than he writes, and he writes more
things than she knows.
On Thursday last at o'clock A. NJ,
F. w. Burt, Sr. died at his home in
Grand Rapids, after a long spell of fail
ing health. He was y years of age and
an old citizen of the Rapids, and well
known in Wausau, having often visited
his son, Fred Burt, in this city. Those
who attended the funeral from here
were Mr.. and Mrs F W. Burt and S.
Trudeau. Funeral took place Sunday
and was in charge of the Masons.
E. T. Jones, formerly butter maker
at the town of Hamburg creamery, had
six of the farmers of that town arrested
Monday for assault and battery. Some
weeks ago Jones got into a fight with
the farmers, and from his appearance
he got the worst of it. His right Shout
der was dislocated and he was badly
beaten and kicked. When brought into
court yesterday the farmers gave bond
for their appearance for trial July Goth.
The G. & n. w. Ry. Co., has agreed
not to do any switching in its depot
yards on the evenings of council meet
ings hereafter providing the city clerk
serves notification one day previous to
meeting. Heretofore the noise created
by the locomotives has been detrimental
to the peace of the council chamber and
at times it was impossible to make
ones self heard when speaking in a
loud tone. The members appreciate
this act of courtesy of the company.
The water mains were flushed last
evening and well they needed it from
the appearance of the streets this morn
ing. All along the cutters a sediment
settled that was as black as tar. The
drinking of water taken from pipes
filed with such stuff certainly cannot
be beneficial to ones health. These
pipes should be flushed often, for it
costs nothing and answers two pur-
poses that of cleaning the water pipes,
also the streets and the sewer pipes.

Mrs. VIM. McCullock, residing at los

acqCaIntanees, all of whom viii mourn

place this afternoon from the family
house Rev. F. A. Pease conducting the
service.
