RESIDENTS OF WAUSAU.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
H. H. Foster and their lovely children
took final leave of Merrill as place of
residence and took up their home in
our sister city of Wausau. No other
family could 60 from Merrill and leave
such large space vacant as Mr.. and
Mrs. Foster. In business and public
affairs Mr.. Foster has been foremost.
In the church, among the poor and in
society, Mrs. Foster has always been
the leader. We regret exceedingly that
things have so shaped themselves that
this excellent family should see the
necessity of moving away from this
city, but such is the case, and we can
but congratulate Wausau on receiving
as citizens such worthy people. To
Mr., and Mrs. Foster and children we
wish health, happiness and prosperity
in their new home. May all good
things come to them.-Merrill Advo-
cate.

TO THE PUBLIC.

S. M. Bridge & Son, of Oshkosh, Wis,
and the Bush & Gerts Piano Co., of
Chicago, Ill, have opened piano room
in half of the Singer Sewing Machine
building. They have placed Robt B.
Kanouse, son of DIR. E. M Kanouse, in
charge of their work in the northern
part of the state, and it is their inten-
ton in the near future, from time to
time, to enlarge their quarters and
make Wausau a central point from
which to conduct their affairs in this
northern locality.
The Bush q Gerts Piano Co., as man
ufacturers, are well known throughout
the country and their pianos enjoy the
distinction of being among the best
made. Also S. w. Bridge & Son have
been in the piano business too long to
question their ability to push the trade
to a successful point here. Robt
Kanouse, the manager of the business
has had experience in the piano trade
under some of the best of piano men,
and as a musician he is amply we'll quail
flied to take charge of this branch house
and push it to success. Call and exam

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Last Thursday afternoon, during the
races, a party consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Neal Brown, the Misses Margaret
and Helen Stewart and Messrs. Lane
and Jud. Alexander, rode into the large
enclosure inside of the ring, all mount
ed on prancing horses. They took
position just west of the grand stand to
watch the races. The 2:10 pace was in
progress and at the finish, as the horses
passed the riders, Miss Margaret Stew
arts high spirited animal SHE'D throw
ing her, and in falling her long, heavy
riding skirt caught in the saddle and
she was dragged for some distance, be-
fore it gave way, her horse going at a
rapid pace. All this was in plain sight
of those in the crowded grand stand
and thousands of others standing about,
and it struck terror. to their hearts.
There was a rush for the injured lady
and she was picked up partly uncon-
scious and taken in a carriage to her
home on East Hill, where she was
attended by DR.. A. w. Trevitt. 1t was
found that Miss Stewart had sustained
a fracture of the right arm above the
elbow, a dislocated shoulder; had re-
ceived cash on her chin and was badly
bruised about her body. All will be
delighted to learn that since Miss Stew
arts injuries were attended she has
improved rapidly and all earnestly hope
for her early recovery. Miss Stewart
is the eldest daughter of ex-Congress-
man and Mrs. Alexander Stewart, who
are now on a tour in Europe.

GOT HIS DESERTS.

Friday evening when the news of the
shooting of President Mckinley reached
this city it, of course, spread rapidly
and was the paramount subject of con-
versation. In certain saloon on east
Washington street a number of men
were congregated, when someone en-
tered and gave the report of the shoot
ing. One of those present remarked
that it was a good thing that it hap
pened. A man standing near, who was
connected with the Forepaugh-Sells cir
Gus overheard the remark and promptly
fioored the fellow. Afterward the one
who gloated over the shooting thought
he would get revenge by having the
circus man arrested, and made COM
plant to Chief Malone. As soon as the
chief learned of the facts in the case he
was of the opinion that the blow struck
was one deserved, and should have been
followed by others, and did not make
an arrest. Those presiding at the diff
ferent shops of justice, who heard of
the affair, have remarked that had the
circus man been brought before them
they would have fined him for not beat
ing the traitor worse.

LARGE TIMBER SALE.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept 6.-The Ore
gonian says: A. B. Hammond, of this
city, has consummated the purchase of
the largest unbroken tract of timber
land still remaining in first hands in
this state. Fifty thousand acres were
involved in the deal, and the land is all
situated on the Tualatin and Trask
rivers. Associated with Mr.. Hammond
in the transaction is Charles j. Winton,
of Wausau, Wis. The land was pur-
chased from the Southern Pacific. The
price is reported to be in the neighbor-
hood of $5O0,0O0.
The above is a dispatch which was
taken from the daily press, and explains
Mr.. Wintons trip to the West. 1t is
understood that there are other Wau-
sau parties in the deal

BIG FAIR, LARGE CROWDS.
Such Characterized This Years Efforts of the
Marathon Co. Agricultural Society.

sible and a profitable business. An in
spection of the display shows that wool
from the finest merino to the cOarser
grades can be successfully raised, and
also sheep that are more profitable for
mutton.
Going to the hog pens we found the
greatest display of porkers ever seen on
the grounds, and we doubt whether any
county in Northern Wisconsin could
equal 1t. There were nearly every
breed known, and they were in size
from the big-fellows that would fill a
pork barrel down to litters of little ones
suitable for roasting purposes. In this
line also Marathon county is pushing
ahead, for the farmer is learning that
this industry is also profitable one.
Years ago about ine-tenths of the pork
consumed in this section was shipped
in here from Portage, Waupaca and
Waushara counties, but this outside
supply has been dwindling away year
by year until now Marathon county
buys bat little of this food article from
other sections, and former conditions
will in a short time be reversed.
Passing to the cattle sheds we find
here line of cattle that will grade with
the best in the country. There was the
monstrous cows of the male persuasion,
the fatted calf and the Jersey milch
cow-a beautiful animal. Each one
was fat and clean. This display was
so large that one of the horse sheds had
to be occupied. There were n number
of special entries of herds of blooded
stock, and the herds of short horns, red
polls and guernseys of Messrs M. II. Dun
can, G. S. Curtis, F. Rietbrock, A L..
Kreutzer, r. E. Parcher, S. Nj. Quaw,
Alex. Arnold, G. w. Witter and others
was much admired.
The horse exhibit, we are forced to
say, was not what it should have been,
which seems strange for county that
contains as many good horses as does
Marathon.
Passing along we enter the agricul-
tural hall. Commencing at the north en-
trance we find in one corner a large
refrigerator-another new idea of the
fair management and a good one-con-
tanning butter of the creamery and dairy
grades. Following is the list of cream
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1901-09-10

erles that had samples of butter on ex-
hibition, together with the standing of
the products: Schofield, SO; Texas, SO;
Marathon, 81; Stettin, 50; Knowlton,
95; Edgar, 95; Sunset, 96; Hamburg, 9S;
N. A. Voight, Naugardt, 80. This but
ter was all first class and the discrep-
ancy in point of standing is duo to the
fact of the difference in cOloring, each
creamery coloring its butter to suit its
customers. In one corner of this ice
box was display of Marathon county
cheese, not as large as in previous
years. Then there were great quanti-
ties of grains grasses, vegetables, fruit
honey, canned fruits and berries,
breads and cakes and other articles
and products which go well to show the
productiveness of Marathon county
soil and the handiwork of its people.
The exhibit of the Marathon County
Insane Asylum in this hall, was, as it
has been in the past most complete
and consisted of vegetables, fruits,
grains, and canned fruits and berries.
This hall was arranged altogether diff
( ferent from what it was other years.
The tables had been taken out and
shelving put in-on the plan of the state
fair-which besides giving more room
displayed articles to better advantage.
The upstairs was used for art and here
could be found crowds of women feast
ing their eyes on the beautiful articles
of woman's handicrat. Pillow shams,
quilts, tiedies, cushions, table spreads,
socks. mittenS, etc, were there without
number as was also other work made by
the hand of woman. The lower floor
of the annex was filled with displays by
local merchants, while the upper floor
contained pictures and paintings, all
hand work and excellent in design and
finish The different grade schools had
samples of drawings by children, many
of which showed remarkable skill and
talent In this building there was also
exhibited fine lot of flowers.

THE CIRCUS.

The FOrepaugh-Sells Bros circus,
which showed here Friday, is one of the
largest now travelling on this continent,
and the enormous tents were fairly well
filled with people. OF course all cir
euses are alike but this one had some
new features, the principal one If which
was the performing sea lioEs. 1t is
really wonderful to see hOw these ami
mails have been trained. The herd of
Il elephants performing in two rings at
one time also displayed mush elephant
sagacity. The acrobatic work and ring
work were up to the standard and the
menagerie was complete. Tbs show
was one Of the eleanest that ever visited
the city and there was no rowdyism
reported and only one arrest made.

On Thursday in the neighborhood of
$4,000 people visited the grounds and
the track was su rrounded by people all
anxious to witness the races. In the
second heat of the 21S pace, Mark Bel
lis horse, Rays PAGER, fell and A. Gard
ner's horse, Prospect Chimes, stumbled
over the fallen horse, when there was a
mixup of horses, drivers and sulkies
Outside of the destruction of the latter
there was no harm done.

veteran horseman, was in his old time
form as jockey.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS.
The Scholfield- -Jones-Haskins wild
west show did thriving business at
the small sum of 10c admission.
Little Mac, riderless running horse,
went two heats on Thursday against
two horses with drivers, and won the
last heat.
The merry-go-round, the cane rack
man, yellow jewelry fakir and red
lemonade stand were all in evidence,
much to the delight of the small boy
who had few spare nickels.
Dode Fisk, of Baraboo, with his
trained horse, DecrYon, gave eXhibi-
tions on the track each day of the fair.
While the work of the little animal has
been seen here before it was much ad-
mired by the audience in the grand
stand.
NOI6o.
The attendance the last day was not
very large owing to the circus being in
town.
The dance given by the society
Thursday evening was very success
full affair.
The ladies of St. Stephens church
furnished meals on the grounds and did
quite good business.
The Marathon County Granite COM
pany had some very fine specimens of
polished granite at the fair.
All business places and factories were
closed down Thursday afternoon to
allow the employees to attend the fair.
A couple of Angora goats were ex-
hibited at the sheep sheds, which at
tracted much attention, regardless of
their disagreeable odor. Their wool,
which is used for fine textures, was of
splendid quality.
The management did not have any
bad weather to contend with this year,
which is unusual. Every day was
pleasant, il we except the wind of
Thursday, which blew the clouds of dust
into ones eyes.
The management and espec tally the
secretary, are to be praised for the
good work done in making the fair of
this year the most successful one ever
held by the society. The efforts of
these men were tireless and the charac-
ter of the fair is the result.
For the benefit of women and chill
dren coming in from the country who
get tired walking around the grounds
and who have no place to go to rest, we
I suggest that the fair management place
a number of benches beneath the pines
of the fair grounds park. 1t would be
of little expense and would be much
appreciated.

Tuesday was the Opening day of the
thirty-second annual fair of The Mara
thOn County Agricultural society, and
as usual on the first day, the attendance
was small. Those who visited were
mostly people who brought exhibits,
and at an early period in the day it was
plainly evident that the display would
eclipse any of previous years, especially
in the live stock departments A great
many new hog pens and stalls for ami
mails had been built, but these were
nearly all taken at an early hour. The
number of entries in the art hall was
also on more extensive scale than at
previous fairs, and there was an i'm
provement in the character of exhibits.
In the agricultural hall the shelves were
filled with grains, vegetables, butter,
cheese, honey and in fact everything
raised on a farm. Each poultry stand
was taken and temporary enclosures
were erected for the accommodation of
exhibitors who were late In arriving.
THE EXHIBITS.
Making tour of the grounds, going
from one department to another, it was
interesting TO see how Marathon county
has developed in the richness of quality
and quantity of her agricultural pro-
ducts. Starting at the poultry sheds
we will make such n tour for the accom-
dation of our readers. At this point
was to be found the greatest number
and variety rs it is seldom ones oppor-
tunity to see at a fair. There was every
breed, from the large brahmas down to
the midget bantams, including the
beautiful black Spanish and the game
fowls, guinea hens, etc. There were as
fine ducks, geese and turkeys as ever
graced a dinner table A new feature
was the display of Belgian hares, of
which there are quite number now
being raised in this county.
In the sheep department there was a
marked improvement over last year,
and the fact is plainly manifest that
Marathon county is well suited to the
raising of choice herds of these animals
and this county is fast coming to the
front as wool producing section The
abundance of water and the large areas
of paSturage makes sheep raising a pos
