INSPECTOR HERE.

On Wednesday last F. P Maher,
of Chicago, postoffice inspector, arrived
in the city and he spent the time up to
Saturday in inspecting the postoffice
and the carrier routes, and also went
over the proposed new rural delivery
route east of the city. While he found
the affairs of the postofice in perfect
order, he was not satisfied with the
routes of the carriers and the great
amount of territory each is compelled
to cover, and in all probability in his
report will recommend an increase in
the carrier force of one, or prossibly
two, men. He was surprised that a
city like Wausau should not have street
names put up on the corners at the
intersection OF streets, and he also
found defects in the system of house
numbering.
Those living on the route of the pro-
posed new rural delivery hope, and
there is reason to believe, that in his
report Mr.. Maner will favor the es.
tablishing of this route.

THE PASSION PLAY.

plague; accordingly 18 Burgers, assem-
bling from the village of Ober Ammer-
gau, vowed that once in 10 years would
they present in living pictures the
Passion of Jesus Christ. From that
instant the plague ceased, and those
who were i'll instantly recovered. ;.
Thus we have the origin of the
mystery play in Ober Ammergau, and
with two or three exceptions-the
French period, and different invasions
of the Tyrolese-the VOW has been
faithfully observed every ten years.
Two years previous to the perform
ance, the principal characters are
chosen, as the individual personating
Christ must allow his hair to grow for
that length of time, as also Joseph OF
Arimathea, ST. John, and many of the
disciples, and the boards are trained to
initiate as nearly as possible the best
existing pictures of the various char
acters. The people are devoutely re-
ligious' in the best Catholic fashion.
The Passion Year" is sort of jubi-
lee. Debts are paid, the poor pen
stoned, marriages FASTENED or delayed
to fall within its limit. At the high
mass of the morning of the Great Fest
the actors are present, and receive a
special conservation for the day defore
them.

Tomorrow evening, under the au-
spices of st. Elizabeth's Aid Society,
new and life-like moving pictures of
the worId-famed Ober Ammergau Pas
sion Play, accompanied by descriptive
lecture and baritone solos, by w. A.
Kilrain will be given at the Opera
House This is an entertainment that
everybody should attend for many rea-
sons. 1t is in every sense of the word,
elevating; the pictures represent some
of the most important scenes of the life
of Christ from His Birth to His Ascen-
sion, among, the most thrilling, being
the crucifxion. The press speak very
highly of the entertainment.
HISTORY OF THE PASSION PLAY.
In the old parish records of Ober Am
mergau one reads, "Anno 1881, on
account of the long Swedish war, is
there much fever and hot headache
among the Bavarians and dwellers in
Swadia, and daily do men die" "Anno
1888, the pest increases so fearfully that
in the parish of Kohlgrub (three hours
from here) were there only two COUPLES
left, and a man named Caspar Schuch-
Ter, coming here to visit his wife and
child, fell by the roadside, and was
buried From that day to Senion and
Tuda evening S4 people died of the

SEIZED UPON.

The boiler, stationery and traction
engines of j. Wanta's mill in the town
of Pike Lake was seized upon last We'd
nesday by Undersheriff Chsllis, who
was armed with attachment papers,
and the same were hauled away, as was
also the engine of Wanta's shingle mill
near Beyent. The machinery was
brought to this city and will be sold at
auction sale. The engines have been
repIevined by another party, who
claims to be the owner and who also
claims that the mortgage was given by
one who had no claim to them. The
mill had been running but seven days,
and was stocked with logs mostly
owned by farmers living in the vicinity
and these proceedings will greatly in
convenience them.

ANOTHER B. B. MEETING.

At the court house on Friday evening
there assembled crowd of citizens,
who are worked up over base ball, and
the result was very interesting meet
ing was held After considerable dis
cussion IA committee was appointed
whose purpose it is to solicit funds for
REORGANIZATION of team. This COM

sum of money had been raised. 1t is
expected that the above committee will
experience no difficult in raising at
least $780, On Wednesday evening
those at the head of this movement will

CHANGES BEING MADE.

Quite a number of changes are being
made in the German American bank,
and when the work is finished the ap-
psarance will be considerable different,
and one that will add to the attractive.
ness of the building. A portion of the
brick work has been removed on the
Scott street side, and two large win
dows will be inserted. The two doors
in the center of the building will be
taken out, and windows placed therein.
Large doors will be installed in the
corner. This change will give the bank
more light and make 1t more pleasant
for those inside. 1t is expected that
the work will be completed by the end
of the week.

INTERESTING MEETING.
Of the Humane Society Held on
Wednesday Evening.

The meeting called for Wednesday
evening at the court house by the HUI
name society was not as well attended
as it should have been, but what was
lacking in numbers was more than
mape nd in enthusiasm. There was an
evident desire on the part of those pres
ent not TO let the Marathon county
branch die, but to push the work with
as much vigor, if not more, than has
been done in the past. In the report
published in this paper a short time
ago, the agent, Mrs. Mary Dickens,
demonstrated that great deal of good
work had been accomplished by the
society during the past year, and this
report, perhaps, was factor in inspIr-
ing those interested with more zeal
In the absence of the president, E. T.
Wheelock, DIR. b. H. Conlin presided.
Mrs. Dickens submitted several reports,
which were accepted, and she also
stated that several Bands of Mercy had
been organized among school children.
Much work productive of good results
has been accomplished by these little
workers, and the president and secre-
tary were authorized TO permit the or
ganization of more of these bands, and
also furnish badges. Education along
humanitarian lines, such as these bands
afford, add to the morality of the grow
ing generation.
Atty. G.. ID. Jones, addressing those
present, extolled the work done by the
secretary and agent, Mrs. Dickens.
Her work, while covering great deal
of ground, had been of an efficient
order, and her time had been donated
freely without expectation of recon-
pense, and it had been by her efforts
that the society had maintained its eX-
istence In response Mrs. Dickens SAID
that she had been merely demonstrat-
ing that there was plenty of work to be
done by such an organization in this
countp, and that she would continue in
the future. as she has done in the past,
to lend her aid freely.
Short talks were made by quite a
number present, all of which were very
encouraging for the support of the So
ciety in a material as well as moral
way. The following officers were then
elected for the ensuing year:
President-B II. Conlin.
Ist Vicp- PreSidpnt-.Tohn RinUlp
2nd ice-President-Dr Margaret
Trevitt
Secretary-Mary NJ. Dickens.
Treasurer-E. c. Zimmerman.
A director was authorized to be Sc
lected by the president in each ward,
and also to appoint sub-agents.

THE COUNTYS POPULATION.

w. j. Kregel, county clerk, has re-
ceived a tabulated statement from the
census department giving the popula-
ton of this state by counties. Accord
ing to the figures Wisconsin had pop
ulation in 1890 of 1886, $50 and in 1900
it had 1908, O42 or an increase of 3S2, 165.
In 1890, there were 6,G95 Indians and
800 other persons on Indian reserva-
tions that were enumerated separately,
bu which were included in the census

state is "a, ,450 square miles. Ia 1890 the
average number of people to the square
mile was 81 and in 1900, 36. The popu
latinn of this county is as follows

The past few days Old Sol has raised
cain with the sleighing, and those of
better judgment in town have discarded
their sieighs and are now using wheels.
The bridges have been in bad shape,
and there has been little, if any, effort
to keep them covered with snow so that
farmers having heavy loads of logs
could cross. Horses have suffered
much, and when the whip applied, ac-
companied with more or less profanity,
has been of no avail, other means had
to be supplied to move the loads.
