An Excellent Progra m.

The First Congregational church
was crowded again last Sunday even
ing at the musical service. These
services grow in attractiveneSS and
are eagerly anticipated by the people,
The audience was not only large but
appreciative. \ Avaried program had
been prepared and different tastes
were suited, the patriotic song being
especially fine. We regret that some
of the chOristerS were suffering from
severe colds and that one was absent
through sickness, vet they acquitted
themselves well. They deserve both
appreciation and encouragement for
their devotion to music, and for the
enthusiastic way IN which they work
to give the public a service which
shall be both pleasing and elevating.
Rev. Shaw presented Il strong and
convincing argument for the teaching
of music in the public schools and his
address was listened to with the
greatest attention. He must have
made deep impression and is sure
to have a wide influence. The follow
ing was the program:
Piano Nolunt ary.... .......Miss Philleo

Paper Makers Dance.

The Paper Makers Union gave their
first dance at the Grand Opera House
in this city Friday night, February 7.
1t was great social success. While
the attendance WAS not as large as
expected the hall was comfortably
tiled. Everybody present appeared to
enjoy themselves. The Monarch
orchestra furnished some of their best
music to the delight Of all present.
There was some disappointment on
the part of the management to think
that none Of the paper mill boys from
NekOOsa, Port Edwards and the south
side were present. VIM. Hamilton of
Watertown, New York. the National
Organizer of the United Brotherhood
of Paper Makers Of America, was in

Fire in Wausau Telephone Office.

We noticed by the "Wausau Central"
that on Thursday evening a fire was
occasioned in the Central Office of the
Wausau Telephone Co., caused by a
''live" electric light wire coming in
contact with telephone wire. AS
soon as the contact ignited the
insulation on the wires-at the switch
board and in the twinkling of an eye
two sections of the board were on fire.
Tisch. the night operator, and Miss
Kusfahl were the only persons in the
room at the time. An alarm was
turned in Immediately. but the fire was
put out without the aid of stream
from the city hydrant. The fire did
not last more than ten minutes. but
