The GuiIIotine.

On April 25, 1892, the guillotine was
publicly used for the first time and be-
headed bandit named Pelissier. This
was in the Place de Greve, where some
twenty years previously Damiens had
been tormented for days in precisely
the same way as Ravaillac had been
for the assassination of Henry Nv.

are many-who have secured excessive
amounts for their districts and who
fear that an increase in any Of the
items of the bill will necessitate cor
responding decrease in the sums al
1otted for the improvements in which
they are interested. Altogether the
prospects for an increase are not en-
couraging.

The Wisconsin Editors.

Now that Milwaukee has become the
premier convention city of the United
States and her people are beginning to
appreciate the importance of getting
and keeping a reputation for hospital
ity, those who come to the Wisconsin
metropolis upon an occasion of this
character have occasion to mark the
change that has been wrought during
the last three years. They find that
Milwaukee is not only making siren
nous efforts to secure conventions Of
business and social organizations, but
that the people who are attracted here
are taken care of in a manner to sat-
zsfy their demands.
The reception given to the members
of the Wisconsin Press association this
year is in such marked contrast with
that accorded the same body on former
occasions that an excellent illustration
of the changed conditions is furnished.
at has been the custom in the past
when winter meetings of State editors
were held in this city to furnish them
with room in which the sessions of
the association could be held and to
give them the freedom of the city.
That was about the limit of the hos
Eitality extended to them. This year
the program arranged for their enter
&ainment includes "kommers" at the
Press club rooms, banquet at the
Hotel Pfister and ball at the Masonic
building. AS in former years the Off
ces of all the daily papers are placed
at their disposal, and they are invited
TO make themselves sat home"
This greeting to the editors Of Wis
consiu is not extended solely for the
purpose of advertising the city. Man
for man, the Wisconsin press will
compare favorably with other profess
Sions in the State, but in scope and
character the duties of the editor are
semi-public, and a greater part of the
service he renders the community and
State is seldom recognized or remun-
Grated. 1t is the newspaper man who
makes known the resources of town
aor section of the State; it is the news
paper man, again, who carries the
prominent citizen" to the front and
makes a statesman of one who would
otherwise be unknown; it is the news
paper man, finally, who sends into the
homes Of the section where he 1abors
&he news of the world and of local in
ferests which keeps the citizen in
touch with social, commercial and in
qdustrial circles. He is an educator, as
we'll as boomer; defender of public
morals and official integrity; dis
penser of light, as God gives him to
see the Highland the laborer is wor-
thy of his hire.
Wisconsin owes more to the news
papers of the State than it can ever
repay, and it is partially in recogni-
9ion of this fact that Milwaukee is
ahis year doing something in the way
of making the State editors feel that
their visit is appreciated. The mem
7bers of the city press, who are one
with their brothers from the interior of
the State in that all believe in Wis
cousin and will do their best to win
for her high rank in the sisterhood
of States, extend to the members of
the association a hearty fraterna1
greeting. Milwaukee Sentinel.

AT CASTLE HALL.

A game of basket ball will be played
at Castle Hall on Friday, the 2Sth. The
contestants will be the Stevens Point
Normal aggregation and the local Y.
NJ. G. A. teams. 1t is unnecessary to
say but little in commentator of the
team from the Point. Stevens Point is
one of the most enthusiastic basket ball
towns of the state and is sending out
teams to represent her that are COM
posed of some of the best basket ball
material to be found in the country
Two years ago Stevens Point came TO
Wausau and literally showed our boys
UNDER The Pointers were seen in
Wausau again last winter and left with
the long end of the score to their credit
But now the time seems to have come
when Wausau people can 60 to basket
ball game and feel confident that their
team will win out, even though their
opponents are from Stevens Point.
Those who have seen the locals play,
express themselves as highly pleased
with the teams work Under the train
ing of Mr.. Stafford, the team is now in
the prime of condition. After every
practice, Mr. Stafford has the team run
mile in the gymnasium so that it
will be able to play fast ball from start
to finish.
The manager of the Y NJ C.. A. team
has received letter from Tomahawk
requesting game in this city. They
claim that they have improved fifty per
cent. since WAusau defeated them and
expect to turn the tables on the home
team if they have an opportunity. If
the men from the Ratchet city have
been improving our boys have been
doing likewise, aud in ease,of a game
may be expected to uphold their record.
Ali are invited. Remember the date,
the evening of Feb %. Price of admis-
sion, % cents.

NEW TOLL LINE.

Dee w. Van Doren, cashier of the
bank of Birnamwood, and T. l. Tole,
another young business man of Bir
namwood, were in the city today con-
sulting with the directors of the Wau-
sau Telephone Company, and especially
with N. Heinemann, president of the
company, with reference to building a
toll line from Birnamwood to Hogarty,
al which place it is proposed to meet
the Wausau company's toll line. This
would give Wausau long distance con-
nection with all eastern points in our
county and with the independent toll
lines to the southeast which would
reach many of the larger cities of our
state. Messrs. Van Doren and Tole
have practically the franchise for put
ting in an exchange at Birnamwood,
and the exchange will be put in opera
ton there as soon as possible. From
there they will run to Aniwa, which is
six miles away, where they will also
put in small exchange, and from there
build to Hogarty The Waesau com
pany has poles on the ground and will
commence the extension of its Sunset
line to II. Ramthum's, distance of five
miles, as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. This will leave only five miles
to build to connect with the proposed
toll line at Hogarty. There is no doubt
but that within a few months there will
be toll line running across our county
to the eastern limit, anu it will be a
valuable line as well as paving one.

CORDIALLY RECEIVED.

When Gen, Fitzhugh Lee departed
from Wausau Sunday morning it was
with the utmost of good feeling for our
people, and full appreciation of our
hospitality and fair treatment CT strang-
ers. The general came in over the
Northwestern road and was met at
Eland Jet. by committee delegated by
the X of P. lodge to escort him to the
gates of our city. This committee was
composed of John Manson, Geo. A..
Martin ard G. f. Dunbar. At the depot
there were great many people gath
cred who cheered him as he stepped
from the train. After receiving few
callers after dinner at the Bells House,
the general went to bed and slept the
greater part of the afternoon, for he
was wearied from his long ride. Be-
tween seven and eight o'clock he was
serenaded by Cones band. At an APP
pointed hour, with the old boys in blue,
once his enemies but now his friends,
he was escorted to the Opera House.
The stage had been decorated with
palms, flowers, etc., and the chairs en-
circling the centre were reserved for
the old soldiers. The glst of his lee
ture may be found on the first page of
this paper After the lecture the law
offices of Kreutzer, Bird & Rosenberg
were made reception rooms for the
general, and after some time spent in
receiving callers here the scene was
transferred to the Crystal Cafe, where
the banquet board was spread. About
thirty guests assembled here, and Col.

but when the attraction arrived, Mr..

Martin was met by committee of stu
dents and asked to go peacefully out of
the city, or they would make trouble,
and not allow the attraction to appear
that night: Mr. Cunningham blankly
refused to leave the city without giving
performance. The students insisted
that they would prevent it. In conse-
quence, the theatre was crowded to see
the outcome. MIR. Cunningham, Mr..
Martins manager, secured the services
of all the detectives in the city and
placed them throughout the theatre and
gave the performance without the least
disturbance, and the college boys, after
seeing what Uncle Toms Cabin was in
its original, and only correct version as
produced by this company, could see
no cause for an cutlery and again the
press gave great praise to this attraction.
Mr.. Milt e. Barlow, once the senior
member of Barlow, Wilson, Primrose

in portrayal of uncle Tom and was
received with great enthusiasm. He
played the part both artistically and
