FRANKS OF ELECTRICITY.

During the electrical storm of Friday,
horse belonging to Dreyer & Kiefer,
while standing in the stable to the rear
70 the pop factory, was struck by light
ming and killed The house of Mrs.
Nm Gamble on Second street was also
struck and the ridge poles knocked off.
Several fuses in the office of the Wau-
sau Telephone Co., were burned out
and one of the operators, Miss Lillian
Goddard, had one of her hands burned.
Al the Office of the Wisconsin Telephone
Co, the fuses of the long distant lines
were burned out.
During the storm Saturday evening
she court house tower was the scene of
a curious electrical display. The air
in that vicinity appeared to have been
fairly charged with electricity and those
who witnessed the affair say that a blue
flame ran along the roof of the build
ing and down the walls to the ground
and at the same time the air in the
vicinity of where Steinman stands was
all aglow and swapping with electricity.
During the storm a curious coincidence
happened. Tightening struck the
home of John Hildenspergel or Sixth
street in the very same place in which
it struck last year Considerable dam
aye was done but no one was injured
for Mr.. Hildensperger was absent and
Mrs. Hildensperger became frightened
at the approaching storm, had taken
her daughter and gone to a neighbours.
The electrical current followed the
telephone wire into the residence of
j. w Bishop on East hill, shattered the
telephone, knocked the mop boards off
went down into the basement and broke
every window there. Another bolt
struck the cupola and appeared to
range upward for the shingles and por
tons of the tin roof were thrown out
ward.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
has number of clocks scattered about
town that are wound, set and regulated
by electricity, and these all suffered
Nearly all were put out of business,
while the one in Nick lenders lunch
emporium was thrown just an hour
backward
During the same storm the house of
John Beck, on East hill, was struck as
was also the residence of John Manson
but fortunately not much damage was
done at either place
Reports from over this entire section
indicate that the latter was the severest
electrical storm that we have had visited
upon us for a number of years.

MASONIC BANQUET.

On Wednesday evening there was a
harquet given at the Masonic Temple,
which WAS of more Han ordinary pleas
ure Walter Curtis took the Master
Mason degree and it was the last meet
ing which Messrs. W. w. Albers,
Nathan Heinenann and G. B. Bird
would be in attendance, for three or
four months as they were to depart for
Europe on the following day. About
100 Masons sat down to the banquet
board. Grace was said by Rev w j.
Cordlck, and at the close of the banquet,
while all were enjoying their cigars,
remarks were made by Walter Curtis,
f. A. Pease, q. d. Jones, H g. Flieth,
c. S. Curtis, Dr. A. W. Trevitt, W. L.
Edmonds, Karl Mathie, and others.
The speeches were all happy express
sions along the line of bidding farewell
to the brothers and wishing them
pleasant tour and a safe return home.
Z. NJ. James entertained all by medley
of songs, and G.. d. Jones sang the very
appropriate song They Were Three
Jolly Good Fellows" and was assisted
by those present. The evenings enter
tainment was brought TO a close by
brief remarks by Mr.. Albers who is one
of the oldest p. w NJ. of the Hodge now
living; Nathan Heinemapn, who has
been member of the order for over
thirty years, and Mr. Bird who has held
high positions in Forest Lodge, Their
remarks were in answer to the many
suggestions thrown out as to how they
should conduct themselves while on
their travels and good wishes. All 10
all, it was 9 very pleasant, social
Masonic gathering.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.

Memorial services were held Sunday
at the opera house in which the differ
ent congregations of the city joined
and il was the best attended of any
such service held in the city in recent
years The decorations were simple
but expressive of the day, and two
large flaG5 suspended across the stage
made a background for the speaker.
Nearly every member of Cutler Post
was present and they, as did every
one else, listened with wrapt attention
to the beautiful sermon delivered by
the Rev. s. N. Wilson, the services
being opened by prayer by the Rev
+. A. Pease, pastor of the M. f. church.
Mr.. Wilson selected for his subject
The Greatness of the Nation, and in
well selected words painted the picture
OF this country's progress and advance
ment, and of its resources in time of
need. Ia crisis we have always been
supplied with men of brains to guide
the ship of state in safety to the calm
waters of friendly port. When the
darkest days of the civil war confronted
us Grant arose and stilled the tide of
encouragement. and on the verge of
another war, three years ago, we had
the wise, Christian-lke and patriotic
Mckinley. At the conclusion the mem
bers of the Post called upon J N. James
for song and he responded with THE
Veterans Last Song" dedicated to the
late Gen. John A. Logan he was pre-
scented with beautiful bouquet of car
nations The singing of the ladies'
quartette was of an exceptionally high
order and appeared to Guido any Of
their previous efforts. +. M James
also sang a solo. The services through
out were expressive of the purpose for
which they were intended--a memory
of the soldier dead.

Wausau won the second game of the
season Sunday on Manitowoc grounds,
defeating the team of that city by the
score of 8 to 3. Manager Mark Bells,
with two home players, Baker and Pap
penfuss, went down Saturday night
where they met the rest of the team
that Bells had picked up, and consid-
ering that they had had no practice
they put up good game. Wau-
sau lined up on the diamond as follows;
Wittkow, If; Gruebner, SIS; Collins, IF;
Corbett, 2b; Roller, 3b; Pappenfuss, lb;
Baker, eff Foulks, p; Garzala, c.
Foulks pitched strong game for
Wausau, allowing but six scattering
hits, while Wausau secured sixteen off
Buege. Following is the score by in
nings:
Wausau, / 0 8 0 0 0 So
Manitowoc, 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0-3
A game viii be played at Warren
Park on Memorial Day with Green Bay,
for which six outside players will be on

The Wausau team is pot as strong
yet as manager Bells desires to make
it, and through a system of wedding
out he expects to have the strongest
team in the state outside of Milwaukee
in a short time.
The soliciting committee is not yet
through with its work, and the club
management desires that those who
take an interest in the game and have
the means will donate for any sum they
feel like giving when the committee
calls.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.
 During the recent tournament of Amer ican telegraphers at Atlanta, many old time operators were In attendance from all parts of the country, and most of them had stories of wise experience" to tell. Among them was F. W. McClin- tic of Dallas, Texas, who contributes the following In his cleanup at the tournament:
 Errors on telegraph wires, says Me- Clintic. are sometimes expensive, and frequently ludicrous. One young fellow who was receiving his baptism" on a press wire was so badly ''rattled" that he spelled in full Western Union Ting Fang for Wu Ting Fang. w. U." is the usual code for Western Union" but when a telegraph editor insisted that the Chinese minister's name had been un- duly puffed.i the young recruit innocently remarked that that was the way he sent it., referring to the way the send ing operator had transmitted 1t to him. The same youngster received an item which contained another staggerer for the telegraph editor. "Distaty Gardner will push the case" was the way the sentence appeared at first The editor read 1t forward. then backward. and then turned 1t upside down without solv- ing the mystery. When repeated the line was plain District Attorney Gard ner will push the case" In transmission the code had come Dist for district and Atty" for attorney, but not suffi- cient space had been placed between them to insure interpretation as two words. This operator belongs to a class called mechanical" receivers who use their fingers much better than their brains.
 An American woman in Paris tele- graphed her husband at home for per mission to buy an expensive gown. She was delighted on receiving a reply: No price too high" and circulating that Henry always a dear, generous fellow" handed over Henry's good American money for the Parisian dainty. But the wires had lost a period and the cable should have read. No. Price too high" When Henry's wife reached home there were explanations-and perhaps it Is needless to say. storm.
 An operator with a reputation as a star" telegrapher, while receiving news for a Southern paper several years ago, astonished the editor by producing a line which suggested a bath for a prom inent citizen of the town. It read: John Allen arrived dirty tonight At a
