The annual club meeting, of the
memoirs of the Wausau Club will be
held on the evening of Sept. Sth See
notice.
A boy Of school age is always hard on
clothes and it pays to buy for him the
strongest and best made. If you desire
that kind ask Seim Bros. for the cele-
brated Mrs. Jane Hopkins make. They
cost no more than the ordinary kind
and the pants are reinforced with
double knees and seats.
One of the most pleasant picnics which
has been held in Wausau this season
was that given at the fair grounds, last
Tuesday afternoon. 1t was given in
honor of Mr.. and Mrs Ed. Armstrong,
of Sac City, Iowa, and was gathering
of the relatives and intimate friends of
the Armstrong; Nearly 100 in all sat
down to the picnic supper in the dining
hall on the grounds, at O'Clock D. IN
Rain commenced to fall at about $50
which cut short the pleasures of the
day.
Last Thursday evening the Cont
mental Fire Extinguisher company gave
| an exhibition ca the west side of what
its chemical product could do in put
! ting out fire. A large fire was built
and was fed with Kerosene until the
flames were running up thirty feet
high, when part Of a tube of the fire
eXterminator was thrown on which put
out the fire in every instance, the mo-
ment it came in contact with it. 1t is
certainly wonder and no one can
| afford to be without it.
The work of matchmaking streets is
progressing rapidly Fourth street has
been completed from Scott to Washing
| ton and from Washington to Forest
that street is ready for the top layer of
| fine rock as it is also the block on Jack
| son street from Fourth to Fifth These
] are all forty feet wide. On Fourth
street the work of setting the curb
| stones has commenced aud on the east
| side of the Northern hotel, Anton
Dern is doing a little street improving
of his own accord by filing in the gut
/ ter with rock and rolling it down with
! the city's roller. After these streets
have been completed it is quite likely
that the work of nacadamizing the ball
ance of Grand Ave, 10 the CITY limits will
be next undertaken, 1t is quite likely
/ that the street crew will be kept to
work until late it the fall.

The government agent, Bernhard
| Asann, of the treasury department,
sent here to inspect sites for the new
public building, spent Saturday and
Sunday interviewing our people. He
/ found that there was no contest, furth-
er than that our people wanted the
building placed where it woald be CON
yenient to be reached from the center
of business. The special agent looked
over seven or eight sites which had
been offered and which have been men
/ toned before in the PILoT. The state
ment made by the Record, that "a
/ gentlrman ~iic was in position to
know" told its reporter what Mr.
| Asann said was his first choice, re-
gardless of price, may be true but the
/ gentleman in position TO know was
! giving that paper a dose of hot air
/ Mr. Asann stated positively that no
one would know which site lie favored
/ until it was made known through the
| proper channel. 1t will be six or eight
/ weeks before it is known here which
\ site has been selected.
