WAUSAU TELEPHONE co.

The Wausau Telephone company will
hold its annual meeting at the court
house this evening, at which time re-
ports Of the officers will be submitted
and directors elected for the ensuing
year.
Our telephone exchange has now
grown to very large proportions and
from plant designed for 2a5 subscrib-
ers there are now 800 more than that.
Tie company has made many improve
ments the past year, and paid to stock
holders six per cent. in monthly divi-
dendS and there may, perhaps be a
cash dividend declared this even
ing. The expense on account of the
rapid increase has been very great on
account of the constant purchasing of
new phones, cables, wire, etc, and
there were new poles, and many of
them had to be raised in order to get
wires above the trees; there is much to
do yet to make our system what the
directors of the company would desire,
but the proposed change VIII TAKE mon
ey and the stockholders should talk
over matters very thoroughly this even
ing. The farmers beyond Sunset have
made proposition to the company to
assist in extending the line five miles
beyond that point; the proposition was
accepted and the extension will be
made as soon as possible. Nath. Heine-
mann, president of the company will

new switchboard, and later in the

d. Jones will attend meeting of the
independent companies which will be

celient condition.

TO FORM A CIRCUIT.

The officers of the fair at Stevens
Point have decided to hoid fair in that
city next fall, and desire to form Cir
cult which will insure good races and

tary p w. Clark, of Stevens Point, has
written Secretary L. X. Wright, asking

set for Saturday, February 18th, at
which time it is expected that repre-
sentatives from Rhinelander, Merrill,

TROLLEY MEN HERE.

Nothing further has developed this
week in the proposed electric railway
between this city and Merrill, on the
west side of the river, further than that
the firm of Frawley, Bundy & Wilcox,
of Eau Claire, is again stirred up, and
is imparting to the public the infcTma-
ton that they, too, intend to carry out
their plans as laid down at the time they
were granted franchise in this city.
Thursday, T. F. Frawley, r. B. Wilcox,
and + L. Straw arrived in the city and
spent several days here. The latter
gentleman is from Boston, aud is act
ing in the capacity of electrical en-
gineer for the above firm. 1t was his
first visit here, and upon going over
the route and ascertaining conditions,
he expressed himself as well satisfied
with the outlook.
By the building of such an electrical
storage plant as the firm proposes to
erect, it is estimated that there will be
an excess of 1900 horse power which
cannot be utelized on street car line.
While here they visited a number of
business places that have use for small
engines, moters or other powers, for
the purpose of ascertaining how much
of this surplus power can be be dis
posed of
They did not give out much informa
ton while here in regard to their plans
other than to say that the road was
certainty and that it will surely be con-
structed next summer.
Next Friday meeting will be held
by the other concern that is figuring on
building on the west side of the river,
with the farmers in the town of Maine
AT this meeting. which will take place
at the town hall, and be visited by
number from this city who are interest
ed in the matter, tie affairs will be
talked over and those who are opposed
to the granting of a right-of-way
through that town will be influenced to
vote for the granting of the same if it is
within the power of the promoters logic
to do So Thus we may have two roads
to Merrill. Who knows? A right of
way on the west side of the river is the
preferable che for the reason that the
country on that side of the river is more
level than it is east of the river.

Sentiment In Pennsylvania Syn
Cd Negroes Should Go
to Africa.
FATAL TO WHITE MISSIONARIES.
Matter Came Up When Report Upon
Lincoln University Was Made-Re'
ports Made on Different Lines ct
Work-Adjourned Last Night.

Pittsburg, Oct 21.-The Rev. DR..
Henry w. Woods, OF Washington.
launched a question into the Presby-
terian synod yesterday morning
which made some excitement When
the report Of the Lincoln university
had been read, announcing that 2O2
students were enrolled in the theolog-
ical department, DR.. WooGs wanted
to know Whether any Of these col
ored men ever went to Africa as mis-
sionaries to uAeir brethren?"
The Rev. DR.. William P. White,
secretary of the university, stated
that 19 black men had gone to AT
RIGA, but stunned the synod by say
ing: 1T is a strange fact that the
Presbyterian board Of foreign mis-
sions will not support black men in
Africa, but will support white men" !"
DR.. White added 1T Is shame,
and there was great surprise aISt in
tense feeling when the members OF
the synod recalled the quick loss OF
life Of Paul, Good, Gault and others.
because it is taking his life in his
hands for a white man to go to AZ
rica while the negro can stand the
climate. 1t was the first outbreak OF
a feeling long growing that the
Freedmen's board and Lincoln uni
versity should furnish all the mis-
sionaries needed for Africa
Think Black Men Should Go.
The women of the synod are espe-
cially worked up on the subject and
feel that there is something radically
wrong when it is necessary to sacri-
fee valuable lives of white men when
black men should do the work.
The Rev. DR.. Henry d. Lindsay
made the report on the work among
the Freedmen.
The secretary Of the Freedmen's
board, the Rev. DR.. Edward P. Cowan,
spoke for the cause.
The Rev. DR.. Henry W. Woods, OF
Washington anu Jefferson college, re-
ported favorably on the board Of aid
for colleges ana academies.
One of the most interesting person
ages to appear before the synod yes
terday was DR.. Charles McIntire, who
reported On Lafayette college. He is
lecturer in this college on sanitary
science. Reports were made on for
eign missions, Sabbath school work,
church erection, temperance and
Young Peoples societies. There was
the usual annual warm discussion on
temperance, closing with the adop-
ton OF the customary resolutions.
DR.. McIntire announced that Brain
ard hail would be dedicated. next
Monday.
The American Bible society and
the Pennsylvania Bible society were
commended.

port On sustentation, the substance
