SOLD OUT.

fhos F. Delaney has sold out his
plumbing and gas fitting business to A.
B. Wheeler, of Milwaukee. This was a
great surprise to Mr.. Delaney's friends
in Wausau, because no one could ask
for a better business than which has
been done by Mr.. Delaney since he
started in Wausau seventeen years ago.
Mr.. Delaney has built up an extensive
business in Wausau, all by his paying
strict attention to the same and by his
gentlemanly ways. His reason for sell
ing out just now is on account of poor
health. He will take a good rest and
see if he can recuperate. His friends
hope that his recovery will be quick and
complete for Wausau cannot afford to
lose so good a citizen as has been Mr.
Delaney.

TO fire into the uniformed mob. So
