INDEPENDENCE DAY IN WAUSAU.
How People Spent the Fourth. Very Quiet Day. List
Of Accidents, Notes, Etc.

| The Fourth in Wausau this year was
anything but one of excitement and
interest, indeed it was the tamest cele-
bration of Independence Day that the
history of this city records, and had it
not been for the small boy with his giant
cracker during the day and stingy
display of fire works in the evening one
would have thought he was in the city
of Philadelphia during one of the slug
gish periods for which the city of VIM.
Penn is noted. The day opened hot and
sultry with an indication of thunder
showers, which came during the after
noon. 1t was the hottest day that has
been experienced so far this season, in
fact SO warm that the average citizen
stayed at home in the shades of his par
lor regaling himself with refreshing con-
coctions of lemon juice. sugar and ice
water. What made the town still more
dead was the fact that great many of
the inhabitants went out of town for
their days sport. Some went to Edgar,
where the Woodmen held a picnic, some
spent the day at Marathon City where
another picnic was held, others went to
Grand Rapids where there was a big
celebration and at which Hon. Neal
Brown, of Wausau, spoke and where the
Wausau Gun Club held contest with
the gun club of that town, but the largest
exodus was to Mosinee where the
citizens proved what can be done in a
small burg in celebrating the signing
of that document that gave name to
this country

THE RACES.

The only sport planned for those who
enjoy sport of that nature was the horse
races ut the fair grounds A small
crowd, less than four hundred people,
assembled at the Agricultural society's
park in the afternoon and while the
races were fairly good what there were
of them they were brought to close at
about four O clock by the thunder show
er and only one event was finished
Bicycle and running races had also been
planned but these, too, were marred by
the rain. The result of the horse races
is here given.

The birds were thrown down hill
toward the river which was something
the Wausau men were not accustomed
to and this figured in the result of the
contest.
Neal Brown, of Wausau, delivered an
Grafton touching on the day and why it
is celebrated, the military Of the United
States, etc, and it is estimated that he
was listened TO by about twelve thou
sand people who speak of the Grafton
with terms of praise.
ACCIDENTS.
Geo. Forcy, proprietor of the North
ern Hotel buffet, also carries his right
hand in sling necessi,ated by buras re-
ceived by handling q cannon cracker,
that wasn't loaded.n
On Thursday, Ed Duquette, who
lives on Third avenue, was so badly
injured by the explosion of giant
cracker in his left hand that it is feared
he may lose one finger.
The Milw aukee papers next day gave
an account of au accident which hap
pened in that city to John Adams, of
Wausau. 1t appears giant cracker
exploded in Johns hand lacerating and
burning his hand which will lay him up
some time.
f. Hanke, who lives at $50 jackson
street, was walking along Third
street. in company with two ladies,
when an overloaded cane gun was
exploded near by, piece of the metal
striking him above the left eye and cut
ting an artery, which made him bleed
profusely.
Fred Burt, who conducts the Scott
street tonsorial parlors, was also a can
non cracker victim While holding one
in his hand The fuse of which he thought
was not lighted the cracker exploded
with the consequences that Fred has
since been unable to WELD razor as a
result of burns.
Saturday evening Joe Voight, de-
livery boy for the Boehm grocery store
on Grand avenue, while examining a
toy pistol loaded with % cal. B B.
cap, the same was accidentally ex-
ploded and the bullet passed through
the index finger of his left hand. The
physician va dressed the wound found
that the bone was not injured.
At the fair grounds, when the rain
storm came up and crowd was rush
ing across the track Walter Linder, who
did not notice the approach of one of
the horses running in the gentlemen
road race, was struck by A. L. Kreut-
zer's horse, Barney. He walked as
far as the grand stand and there sank
but physician being present admins
tered to his needs and it was found that
he was not seriously hurt.
There are many others reported
though none are of serious nature.
One thing was demonstrated this Fourth
which is the fact that the state will have
to pass a measure prohibiting the sale
of toy pistol lately put on the market
which is cheap imitation of a revolver
though just as deadly in effect. 1t Is
made ostensibly for the purpose of shoot
ing blank cartridges but the barrel is
hollow and allows the shooting of ball
cartridges and in the hands of boy or
inexperienced person Is dangerous and
several deaths are reported throughout
the state due to this "toy."

PRINTERS BALL GAME.

Accepting defy from the Daily
Record force, the printers employed in
the different offices of the city played
game of base ball at the park in the
forenoon or at least made an attempt
to play. For the combination team
Powers, Dern and Hendrickson were in
the points while for the opposition
Underwood and Dodge passed them
back and forth across the plate, A
small crowd took advantage OF The fact
that no admission was charged and
got their moneys worth of fun while
the game lasted. But four innings were
played and during that time the
Records force made the circuit of the
bags twelve times while the best the
combination team could do was to
sprint around nine times. TIE game
has been protested by the combination
team on the ground that it was not
played according to Hoyle. shortstop
Martin, for the Records, would bat and
under the excuse of his obesity would
| hypnotize the umpire in allowing him
to have kid run around the sacks for
him. The attention of the executive
board of the newspaper league has been
called to the outrageous decisions
made in this contest, and the game will
no doubt be played over at sccee future
date, perhaps at Ponistowski

AT MosINEE.

The extensive arrangements that had
been planned by the people of Mosinee
for the celebration of the day were
carried out in detail only being de-
layed at one time during the afternoon
by the rain storm. The largest crowd
that perhaps ever assembled in that
village since its organization was on
hand to participate in the days fes-
tiv.ties, and everyone we have met SO
far who attended. claims that an ex
eellent time was had. Wausau sent
down large contingent as did the sur
rounding country towns aD3 there was
but one accident 10 mar the occasion, a
float breaking down in the parade and
injuring little girl, not seriously, how
ever. The main address of the day was
msie by Judge Silverthorn, of this
city, and it Is said TO have been highly
interesting speech. fitted to the coun-
try's natal day The drill team Of the
Wausau lodge of Woodmen gave an
exhibition drill and Cones Wausan
band furnished the music.
AT GRAND RAPIDS.
There was quite a Wausau crowd
participated in the festivities at Grand

bers on the program was contest

POLITICAL CONDITIONS IN KANSAS.

Advices from Kansas indicate that
the fusion between the democrats and
populists is more complete this year
than ever before, and the result is to
strengthen the hope of the democratic
managers, tho what substantial
pear, for the state has been enjoying
prosperity, and there is little reason
for discomfort. The real reason for
more complete fusion is found in the
fact that the last republican legislature
of Kansas amended the election law so
as to force the populiStS and democrats
field or, in case of fusion, ito mark the
ballot with the name of only one of the
parties. Fusion has existed hitherto,
but not as complete as 1t may hereaf-
ter. Under the new arrangement it APP
pears that the democrats have this
year captured all the big nominations
and have given the populists the minor
places in the ticket.
The democratic state ticket is headed
by Mayor Craddock of Kansas City,
Kas., for governor, and, 1t is said, he is
the strongest campaigner among the
state democrats. The republican can
didate for governor is w. j. Bailey, who
has served several terms in congress,
and is thoroughly in harmony with the
national administration on Cuban re-
ciprocity and other leading questions.
His nomination was regarded at first
as distinct advantage to Representa-
tive Chester /. Long in the contest for
United States senator, but 1T seems that
the entrance of Governor Stanley in
the senate contest has taken from Mr..
Long this point of advantage, and now
1T is extremely difficult to judge who
has the lead in that race between
Messrs. Long, Curtis and Stanley. Mr..
Long, as a member of the ways and
means committee, was foremost in the
fight for Cuban reciprocity at the re-
cent session of congress, and this has
given him a following in Kansas that
otherwise he might not have had.
Kansas is a republican state. When
Governor Stanley was elected in 1898
he won over the fusion candidate by
$1,000 plurality. All of the seven con-
gressmen save one are republicans. The
democrats, however, are hoping to in
crease this representation. They base
their expectation largely upon the cir
cumstance that the multiplicity of
county tickets which heretofore has
characterized congressional contests in
Kansas, but now reduced to two, has

TWO STATE RAILWAY ASSESSMENTS.

It is when we are disconnected with
our own condition and look around
among our neighbors that we find
something to be thankful for. This
might be urged in regard to the railroad
assessments in Iowa and Nebraska. The
Omaha Bee has been looking the matter
up, and finds that the railroad attor-
neys and railroad tax agents who APP
peared before the Iowa state board of
equalization have not been as success
full in keeping down the railroad assess
ment as have been the railroad attor-
neys and tax agents of Nebraska.
Two Weeks ago the announcement
was made that the railroad assessment
of Iowa had been increased by $4,000
600 over the assessment of 1901. This
says the Bee. was distinctly a setback
to the bombastc John n. Baldwin and
his Iowa associates, but now it turns
out even worse" Instead of raising
the railroad assessment by $4,000,000. a
computation made by the secretary of
the executive council places the in
crease at S4,3l6,126, or fraction over
per cent on the railroad assessment of
1901, which aggregated $41.S2S.9l1,
while the assessment of railroad prop
erty in Iowa for 1902 aggregates SOL
sS7.9S4.
computed in dollars and cents OBJ
serves the Bee, 1.-The increase in the tan
ss levied on Iowa railroads for the year
1902 over the year 1901 is. in round fig
ures, $4,000. But this is by no means
excessive. On the contrary, an impair
tial assessment of Iowa railroads, APP
portioned to the actual value COMPUTE
ed on their bond and stock basis and
pro rata with all other classes of prop
erty in Iowa, which is % per cent of
actual value, would have increased the
assessment of Iowa railroads to $780,
100000 instead of s51,300o00. But even
small favors should be thankfully re-
ceived, and the people of Iowa have
reason to feel gratified over the relief
afforded to the general taxpayer
LAS compared with the action of the
Nebraska board, the Iowa board is GER
tainly to be complimented. Instead of
increasing the assessed valuation the
Nebraska board has actually decreased
it. Instead of paying more taxes under
the assessment of 1902, Nebraska rail- |
roads will pay much less than they paid
in 1901, unless the board is ordered by
the supreme court to reconvene to re-
wise its action and assess the railroad
corporations according to the valuation
of their property and in proportion to
the assessment levied upon all other
classes of property in the state as re-
turned by the assessors but not as
computed by the railroad tax bureau"
The people OF Iowa are generally |
quite we'll satisfied with the action of
the executive council. and in this re-
spect they are in better frame of mind
than the Nebraskans, according to the
Roe
