SIGNAL SERVICE EXTENDED.

The following is taken from the
Athens Record and is in relation to an
improvement that will prove of benefit
to the residents in the localities named !:
Mr.. L. K Wright has been successful
in securing daily weather reports for
sixteen different points in the county.
Success has crowned his labors after he
has spent much time in the endeavor,
mainly through the courtesy of the Mar
athon county and Wausau Telephone
companies. These two companies have
agreed to transmit The messages over
their lines free of charge, thus insuring
reliable report each day. This action
on the part of the telephone men should
be greatly appreciated, asst makes Mar
athon the only county in the state which
has the signals exhibited in such vari-
ETY. of localities.
The following towns will be furnished
the report each day: Athens, Fenwood,
Rockville, Kelly, Rib Falls, Sunset,
Poniatowski, Stratford, Mosinee, Stet-
tin, Taegesville. Edgar, Mcmillan, Scho-
field, Marathon and Nutterville.

MARRIAGE OPPOSED.

securvS d marriage license to wed
Miss Grace Burk, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Burk, who lives near Big
Rib bridge, but it appears that the
parents of the young lady strenu-
ously objected to the marriage. Hrck-
body and the young lady fearing trou-
bic went out to the town of Berlin,
stopping at the Curtis 4 Yale board
ing house, Burk and his wife learning
of the girls Whereabouts went out there
on Wednesday evening and then what
took place is not made clear as there
are so many different stories of the
sfair. AT all events it appears that
there was rough and tumble fight
in which it is alleged revolver was
hourished by one of the participants,
and one of the female antagonists
choked. BurK and his wife were forced
to return home without their daughter
and Huckbody and Grace were mar
ried quietly at the Central House in this
city at midnight, Thursday, by Justice
j. A. Jones. The young couple were
forcibly reminded of the old saying
that the course of true love never runs
smoothly.

ASKS PARDON.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July "a
Henry Lamont, the man whose trial
and conviction here six years ago made
the most sensational murder ease in
the history of Douglas county, wants a
pardon or parole and has employed ex-
Mayor Parker to undertake to get it for
him The evidence upon which La
mont was convicted was entirely cir
cumstantial The states contention
was this: That Lamont was in COM
pany with woodsman named Nc
Carthy near Dedham, this county, in
December, 1895, and that the last seen
of Mccarthy Lamont was with him.
Mccarthy was found dead, shoeiess and
coatless. Three weeks later his shoes
were found in Two Harbors, where it is
claimed Lamont sold them; also the
coat was found at Wausau strapped to
Lamont's satchel. Wausau was the
prisoners home The jury found the
man guilty and he was given the life
sentence.
The man referred TO above at one
time made his home in this city and it
was here that he was arrested in 1896
by Chief of Police Lord aad Under
sheriff Allen and taken to West Super
Tor for trial. He always protested his
innocence of the crime with which he
is charged and s0r a number of years
past has been endeayoring to interest
the pardon board in his behalf. He
was at one time member of C9. G. of
tins city and was a quiet, unassuming
fellow very retieent in forming ac-
qteuntaneeS and was a man waom no
one would believe could be led into the
criminal path.

NEW PAY SYSTEM.

The Underwood Veneer Co. has
adopted new plan of paying its men
with non-negotiable checks which, at the
last pay day. aroused some dissatis-
faction but which system it is thought
will be more agreeably looked upon as
time wears by. Heretofore the COM
pany has been paying its men with
checks of the regular form but on Fri
day morning they were given checks on
which the words 'or bearer'' were stric-
ken out and on the backs of which were
stamped this notice: ave have instruc-
ted the bank to pay this check only to
the party in whose favor it is drawn ex-
cept it may pay to the wife of married
man or parents of minor"
A number of the men did not like
this plan very well and they waited un-
til banking hours when about half of
the crew of ITO men put on their coats
and walked over town for the purpose
of securing their money. They then re-
turned to the mill, ready to go to work.
So many of the hands leaving, the mill
was forced to shut down and Mr.. I'm
derwood informed his men that it
would remain closed until the follow
ing day that all might be given an OPP
portunity of going to the bank, which
was done. On Saturday all of the men
returned to work with the exception of
two.
The new system, Mr.. Underwood
states, was inaugurated for the purpose
of doing away with two evils Some of
his men have been in the habit of
securing their money on their checks at
saloons where perhaps they would
do more or less drinking, the conse-
quences of which were that every cent
thus spent was so much taken away
from their needy families, and boys not
yet of age working in the factory, after
getting their money and spending part
of it would OF necessity give smaller
amount to their parents than they were
actually receiving falsifying in regard to
same. This gave out the impression that
the firm was paying low wages, which is
not true when compared with the wage
scale of other manufacturing plants in
the city. The rule adopted, he states,
will be strictly adhered to in the hereaf
ter and it is thought that all dissentions
on the part of the crew in the future will
be of little consequence. 1t is said that
one or two other concerns are contem-
plating putting the same rule in force.
