ANOTHER RAILWAY Project

1t has been some time since the sub
ject has been discussed of building a
street railway in Wausau but it appears
that the matter is to be again agitated
and it may be that something may be
brought forth this time to lead people
to look forward to the building of such
a line, for responsible business men of
the city are at the head of the present
movement Unless the council puts a
damper on the proposition we may see
a move toward the completion of plans
at some time early in the future. A Pc
tition has been filed with the city clerk
asking for franchise and the petition
is signed by Walter Alexander, A. l..
Kreutzer, Dr. A. w Trevitt and Neal
Brown. They ask f,r a franchise
which shall give them power to operate
a street car line in the city for an in
definite period without Ii Limitation. For
this right they agree To build line
which shall be up to the standard in
equipment, and also agree to run cars
from a. m. to 10 p. 81. They further
agree to commence the work of con-
struction within eighteen months after
the petition has been granted and TO
have at least one mile of road COM
pleted within two years. In case Of
failure to fulfill these agreements they
shall forfeit all rights and the franchise
shal! be annulled.
In their petition they make the stipu-
lation that they shall be allowed to con-
meet with any and all lines of railway
they may see fit to, and it IS street talk
that should the council grant the peti-
tion other Wausau parties wit become
associated in the matter and the out
come will be that men of experience IN
street railway construction will be Sc
cured aud that in time the long looked
for infer-urban line will be built which
shall connect the city with other towns
of the county aud possibly with Merrill
1t IS quite probable that action win
be taken on the application at the next
meeting Of the council, which VIII be
held in a week and should il be granted
It is not likely that such farce viii be
made of the matter IS was done To-
ward building the lac for which the
last franchise was granted.

COUNTY ORGANIZATION.

Beginning with last Sunday evening
the Rev. j. L. Chynoweth, Field Sec
retary of the Wisconsin State Sunday
School Association, has been meeting
the Sunday school workers of the city
with a view to perfecting county S. s.
organization, auxiliary to the State
Association. This latter is an inter
denominational affair and works in
the interests of all creeds and sects.
It's work is wholly inspirational and
educational. Its employs >>trained
workers who respond to any calls that
may be made upon them by the county
The aim of the local organization is to
plan for conventions both in the county
and in the townships and in general to
have supervision over this educational
line of work.
Mr.. Chynoweth spoke on Sunday
evening at the Presbyterian church on
The Divine Call to Service" The
subsequent meetings were at the Bap-
test church and were given over to
the consideration of the following
themes: Monday 1.-The Model Sun
day School" Tuesday-"Norma
Training" Wednesdays Primary
Work. Thursday-"Th Boy Prob
lem'' and Decision Day. Friday even
ing was devoted to matter of organ
ization. 1t was deemed best to appoint
temporary executive committee who
should issue care to the Sunday
schools of the county, prepare pro-
gram and hold 2, convention in the fu.
ture. Then at that time the matter OF
organization could be discussed. The
committee consisted of Messrs. Pease,
Fawcett and Stone, who reported recon-
mending as the provisional executive
committee, Messrs. l.. Sexmith, M. j.
Colby, w. r. Johnson, +. P. Stone and
p. F. Stone.
After this business was transacted
Mr.. Chynoweth gave a bible reading
on Our Birthright of knowledge, y
and the series of the meeting came to
close.

IDENTITY UNKNOWN.

Chief of police, Thos. Malone, is in
receipt of letter of inquiry and pic
ture of man who is supposed to have
been resident of Wausau at one time
The man was found murdered in Pros
pect park, Minneapolis, on the morn
ing of Oct 18th and for time his iden-
tity was unknown Near the body was
also found a match safe bearing the
words: August castro, German Beer,
Tomahawk, Wis. The police of that
city after diligeat investigation learned
that the map was known in Minneapo-
lis by the name of Jos. Wolff, or Black
Jack" Wolff They gained the further
information that his parents lost their
lives in the Peshtigo fire of 1871 and
that deceased had been a resident OF
WaHsau At the time of his death be
was apparently about 45 years of age,
and is described as feet, s inches in
heighth, stout built, dark hair and bald
on fore part Of head. He was clothed
as laboring man.
Two men, Andrew Haakenson and
Levi Nystedt, are held for the murder
They were first arrested for highway
robbery aud made written confession
of their acts although they were un
aware that this victim had died. In al
unguarded moment they led the police
to the very spot whe.e VOLTS body
was found and told the officers of hav
ing robbed a man there recently
Haakenson claimed that be had strucl
the man a blow with his fist, which
rendered him unconscious and an au
topsy and revealed the fact that Wolf
had died from ruptured blood vesse
caused by Ulow on the side OF the
head.
Although an inquiry has been made
here there appears to be no one who re
members of such man ever living
here. We have learned that match
boxes, similar to the one found neal
the dead man, were given as souvenir:
by Aug. Zastrow at Christmas time
last year.
LATER-Since the above was put il
type we have learned that fellow
worked for P. o. Means in this city {
year ago by the name of John Nelson
who tailed exactly with the description
furnished by the Minneapolis police o.
the murdered man. Nelson's here
abouts are at present unknown and al
effort is being made to establish his
pres ent place of abode, if he is with the
| living We have also learned that al
one time there was "Black Jack
Wolff in ~ city but he was seen mo-
over four Eeeks ago at Woodboro.

The Milwaukee Free Press is author
ity for the statement that the Federated
Trades council and health department
of that city have joined forces in a
crusade on rummage sales by church
societies and at the next session of the
legislature will present bill asking
that all second hand goods sold at such
sales or by auction shall be subjected to
a fumigation process. The bill is
aimed principally against church rum
mage sales but will apply with equal
force against auction sales as conducted
by express companies, postal author
titles. police departments or public
auctions. The passage of such bill
will give health departments the power
to enforce fumigation of such articles
and will attach a penalty for any viola
ton of the law and will be designed as
a measure for the protection of the
health of community and to prevent
the spread of contagious and infectious
diseases.

What's the matter with Wisconsin 2
In a list of state appropriations for
buildings and exhibits at the St. Louis
exposition we note the following:
Illinois, s25O,00O,
Iowa, 125,000,
Minnesota, $4,000,
Arizona, 10000,
Arkansas, 3O,0OO
Wisconsin, 25,0O0l
When did Wisconsin fall back into
the seventh or eighth division of states?
What has happened that the half baked
sections of the country like Arkansas
and Arizona can make us look like
thirty cents -
It's bad enough to be buried out of
sight by the wealth of the appropria-
tons of our neighbors, Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, but when the razor backs"
of the languid South and the wild cac-
tus of the woolly West put it all over us
its twist too many This state has
passed its salad days-we have devel-
oped the country and we have been
prosperous, and we like to think of our
selves as, at least, in the class with
such states as Michigan, Minnesota
and South Dakota. Our industries are
varied and far reaching. Think of the
beer we make-think of the lumber we
manufacture think of the hunters we
kill-thiRk of the iron mines, lead
mines, daarying interests and the pro
duct of the farms, which is greatest of
all; and then think of that noble little
band of statesmen down at Madison
there's foresight for you there's pub
lie spirit in a plethoric condition they
want to see Old Wisconsin we'll repre-
sented at the greatest of Worlds Fairs,
even if it is going TO cost quarter as
much as Indian Territory is willing to
pay
One of the churches in Chicago has
engaged full brass band to help out
in the service and attract the people.
As soon as cold weather sets in we

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has been pretty

A New York man who is seventy-two
