VARIABLE WEATHER.

The past week has been one of sun
shine and showers. Sometimes hot
enough to blister ones skin then turn
ing to deluge of rain. The fore part
was about as sultry as it ever gets in
this section and it seemed that COM
munication had been opened up with
the Internal regions. The latter part
was cloudy with rain and wind, the
heaviest downpour of the season COM
ing on Friday evening. During the
progress of this storm there was con-
tinual peal of thunder and flash of
lightning, and the storm was far reach
ing and much damage from lightning
is reported all over the state. In the
vicinity of New Lisbon what was vir
tually two wind storms met in a V
shape and converging and travelling
together did much damage. The wind
was so strong that cars on the tracks
swayed to and fro, and things looked
serious for a short time. During the
storm of Friday the wires along the
line of the Northwestern were knocked
down and it was some tine before COM
munication was again restored. Nearly
all wires of the Marathon County Tele-
phone Company were down and COM
munication with points throughout the
county by that source is cut off. Trains
were delayed by reason of trees falling
across the tracks.

The average attendance during the
term has been about thirty, and though
but sixteen graduated yet there are a
number of others who will receive
diplomas after few more months of
study According to the standard es-
tablished and maintained by this school
it is imperitivc that each student shall
have reached a certain degree of profic-
iency before a diploma Is issued, and
this rule will be strictly lived up to and
partiality shown to none.
On Saturday morning the Board of
Trustees, II. j. Blanchard, of Colby,
and j. +. Lamont and A L. Kreutzer,
of this city, met and discussed business
matters. In view of the fact that such
good work had been accomplished by
the instructors during the term Just
closed, it was deemed advisable to re-
engage them for the following year,
and Prof o. f. Wells and Miss Rosalia
Bohrer were retained.
The work of this school and the good
results obtaining, is being made appar-
ent not only to the residents of this
county, but to the people of all sections
of the state, and though but two coun-
ties have followed Marathon in estab-
fishing SCI chools of like nature, it will be
but a few years before training schools
for teachers will be common through
out.this state.

ANDERSON BROS. & JOHNS0N'S
GRANITE WORKS,

The cornerstone for the Baptist
church has arrived and will soon be
placed in position. 1t is a block of clear
red granite finely polished and suitably
inscribed. The stone was furnished by
Anderson Brothers and johnson of
Granite Heights.
This firms prosperous establishment
in our neighboring village will well
repay visit on the part of anyone who
is interested in stOne-cutting process
From the quarrying of the granite to the
polishing of the finished shaft, or the
lettering of the monument, number of
interesting changes take place in the
appearance of the stone. The works
give employment to twenty-five men, all
of whom are earning good wages.
Among the improvements recently
added to make the equipment complete
in every respect, may be mentioned the
new forty horse power engine, the air
COMPRISING machine and the modern
pneumatic tools for tracing and letter
ing. The management takes pride in
turning out only the best possible work
in every department, and the firms
rapidly increasing wholesale business
shows that their ambition in this regard
is being realized.-Merrill Star

SAUCE NEXT WINTER.

Complaints have been heard in some
sections of the country that the berry
crop this year was failure but the re-
verse of conditions prevails in this
county for the rain came in time to en-
sure u good crop. The strawberry
farm at the insane asylum, which will
compare favorably with any in the
county, is doing nicely although little
late Already fifty bushels or more
than 1 900 of such quarts ~ as you buy
in a grocery store have been picked,
and the indications are since the last
rain storm that there will be again as
many. These berries are being canned
and will be consumed wholly by the
asylum attendants and inmates, besides
about 200 quarts are used daily at pres
ent with sugar and cream, short cakes,
etc. Supt Head had nearly the whole
force of women patients picking the
crop but found the labors too much for
them and was forced to give them the
additional help of about twenty-five
men.

SECOND ANNUAL
Graduation Exercises of the Training
School Held Friday.

At the auditorium of the High School
Friday evening the second annual COM
mencement exercises of the Marathon
County Training School were held under
disagreeable conditions, at least SO far
as the elements were concerned. The
heaviest electrical storm-of the season
ragged that evening from Z until nearly
o. clock, and many from the city, in
addition to those from the country, who
had intended to attend were thus pre-
vented. At the time of the opening
number, however, the song of welcome
by the school, there was a very large
audience, considerably speaking,
which was gratifying to the class.
The Invocation was delivered by the
Rev F. A. Pease, after which followed
the program by the class proper. In
the essays there was makeup much
differentfrom the old stereotyped school
essay. There was n line of thought
brought out, an apparent consciousness
of confidence in the speakers ability,
which drove to the ears of the audience
conviction of self reasoning power
and of lOftier aspirations.
The choruses were exceptionally well
rendered, and there was blending of
voices and an execution that showed
not Only study but spirit of interest
to marked degree. One feature of
the exercises was the farce, Murder
VIII Out" by six of the students. This
was not only laughable, but in it re-
m&rkabio talent was displayed.
Senator A. l.. Kreutzer presented the
diplomas in Il neat speech characteristic
of the gentlemen. He attached much
Importance to the presentation of these
diplomas, for they were of character
not in common with any other. In
Vulnerable schools are each year giving
diplomas to countless thousands of
students all over this broad land, yet
the Marathon County Training School
is the pioneer in the developement of
education in another field. A line of
education is here taught that in the
future will be found necessary in every
county for accomplishing long sought
object, that of bringing the youth OF
this land to cherish in their minds a de-
sire to reach the highest apex within
the gift of man, and also bring about
nobler manhood and purer womanhood.
Ninety per cent of the students of this
land receive their early training in
the county schools, and it is therefore
necessary that we have trained teach
ers. He called attention to the fact
that the taxpayers have placed rpon
their shoulders another burden that
this school might be maintained, and
the graduates should ever remember
this and conduct their teachings with
an earnestness that will bring about
good results and they should also en-
courage others to take the training
course
Prof. Wells then followed, thanking
the audience for having attended, and
he in turn, with his assistant, Miss
Rosalia Bohrer, were thanked by MEM
bers of the audience for the good work
they had accomplished during the past
term.

LOTS FOR SALE CHEAP.

If you are living in rented house
and paying out considerable sum each
year for rent, we can show you that
you can do better than this by purchas-
ing lot and building your owl nome.
The first fact to which we call your
attention is that Wausau is bound 70
grow and prosper. She has the capltai,
the railroad facilities and the fnanufac-
turing industries to make her a large
city. In addition to these advantages
Wausau lies in the centre of a very
large county, the second largest IN the
state Marathon county has the largest
area of timber and agricultural land OF
any county in Northern Wisconsin.
| Her agricultural resources are OF vast
Importance now and are rapidly in
creasing All of this wealth in timber
and agriculture is tributary to Wausau.
Because of this the city has a steady
and constant growth. Its school sys-
TEN, including the Normal Training
School is attracting great attention
from those who desire place to ire
where they can educate their ehildlen
properly. Now is the time to buy lot
for home. Lots purchased now VII
never be worth any less and are sure to
increase in value. Twenty years ago,
lots north of Grant street and west OF
Sixth street could be had for from two
hundred to three hundred dollars.
These same lots are now held at from
one thousand dollars to two thousand
dollars each. Distant from these only
two or three blocks we have lots for
sale at from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred and fifty dollars each.
In less than ten years they will be
worth from six hundred to fifteen nun
dred dollars each, outside of improve
mentS.
Our lots vary in price according to
locality. We have very fine building
lots for sale in the northern, eastern
and southern parts of the city.
Our prices range from one hundred
and fifty dollars to three hundred and
fifty dollars per lot.
We have very desirable lots close to
the manufacturing industries of the
city, that we will sell at from one hun
dred and fifty to two hundred and fifty
dollars.
Our terms are, small payment down,
and the balance in small installments
as the purchaser may desire, with seven
per cent. interest.
When lot is paid for we can arrange
with Building and Loan Association
to loan you The money to build house,
and you can pay this loan by monthly
intallments.
You can thus secure a home by
monthly payments that viii not exceed
what you now pay for rent.
Investigate these facts and see wheth-
er you cannot make money by paying
for home instead of paying rent.
Call at our Offices and see what we
have and what we can do towards Sc
curing you a home.

The case of Walter Scott VS.. the
Alexander Stewart Lumber Co., occu-
pied the attention of Judge Jas. O'Neil,
of Neilsville, in circuit court nearly all
of last week Trial was commenced
Tuesday afternoon and continued until
Friday evening, two night sessions be-
ing held. The testimony was of very
specific order and twenty-one witnesses
were examined. The case was post
poned, however, until next fall for two
reasons, one being that the testimony of
Walter Alexander is wanted but Mr.
Alexander is now absent from this
country, the other that Judge O'Neil
leaves this week for a trip through
Europe, to be gone until fall. This case
is being fought bitterly on both sides
and may yet go to the supreme court.
