ones enjoyed themselves most fully.
Quite a number of the Wausau Elks
will attend the carnival at Milwaukee
this week though no lodge action has
been taken on the matter. A number
have already gone down while Others
will follow.
A party was given SATURDAY evening
at the Central House by a party OF
young ladies as farewell reception to
a number of young gentlemen who
later departed for the West. Dancing
and the storing away of refreshments
were the order of the evening.

A new state law has just gone into

store have been kept busy covering their
customers cans with the brilliant hue

A large green turtle was found this
morning basking on the court house
lawn near the watering trough. How
he came there is a mystery. Some
claimed that he walked up there from
the river, while others scout the story
and think that he was put there by
someone. Anyway it does not matter;
he now rests in the soup tureen at a
Third street restaurant.
Three men have been arrested at
Stevens Point chargedawith completely
in the murder of Thomas Davis. They
are Pat Haley, Sam. Mills and Arthur
Murphy. That the guilty ones may be
brought to justice, seems to be the earn
est desire of all lovers of law and order
in Stevens Point. 1t was the most
brutal murder ever committed in Wis
consin, and the victim a harmless old
soldier, who had a taste for strong
drink.
The concert given by Cones Fourth
Regiment band at JohnsOn's addition,
Sunday evening, was quite largely at
tended by young people. The concert
consisted of sacred and patriotic music
which pleased those attending Messrs.
johnson and Dibble are disposing of a
good many lots, and though they are
valuable acquisitions to ones property
yet by system of prudent advertising
this is accomplished, and the seller and
buyer are bound to profit by the trans
action.
Last Saturday another pea party was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Bells at
the Bells farm in the town of Texas.
About twenty-five ladies and gentlemen
went out in rigs between three amt four
o'clock and one hour was spent in pick.
ing peas from the large patch on the
farm, the pickers taking to their homes
all they cared to pick. At $50 all went
to the orchard, where baskets were
emptied, coffee made and sumptuous
lunch partaken of. 1t was a delightful
event in every way.
+. ID. Dibble, manager of l.. IL. John
sons addition to the city of Wausau,
offers to all who buy lots in the addi-
ion this week, will when they are
ready to build, have their team work
done free on cellar excavations. This
will help everybody interested because
every house that is built will advance
the values for those who own lots there
now. The chance for another lot to
those who commence building a house
by the 4th of August and finish by Dec
LIST, 1901, is still open. Now is the time
to buy.
Word has reached Wausau that
Frank Mathie, who departed some time
ago for California for the purpose of
visiting his brother, Ed, and incident
ally to compete in the Schuetzenfest
now being held at San Francisco, is
capturing few medals. He has so far
secured one gold medal and one of sill

was reported that he would make a
trip around the world with his brother
before returning, but this is incorrect.
Ed. will go to the Philippines soon to
look over brewery site, and from
there perhaps to China, India and
Europe, landing in New Y ork in early
winter and then coming to Wausau for
a visit.
There is but one saw mill in opera
ton in the city at present, that of the
Alexander Stewart Lumber Co. The
reason for this is that there is a log
famine. The mills have consumed the
stock brought down by rail during the
winter and also that of the early flood

month or six weeks before these COM
panies resume operations. The work
of driving has been unusually slow this
year for various reasons. A dispute
arose early in the season over the rate
to be paid for driving which deferred
matters. Then the Sixth ward dam
went ont at Merrill, which was another
factor in holding the drive back 1t is
reported that so far very few logs have
passed through the Rhinelander or
Tomahawk ponds.
A great many of the business men
have taken it upon themselves to do
considerable decorating about their
places of business and homes on August
LIST, at the time of the Woodmen picnic.
1t is the desire of the local branch of
NJ. W. A. that everybody consider this
