Recently the Graphic gave All ae-
count of an unknown person falling
between two moving cars at Stamps,
and being ground to death instantly.
The remains at first were thought TO
be those of Buster Rogers, of Kings

unfortunate man was sent to Kings

To determine this, MI. Mitchell came

NO "CO0NS" IN THIS.

y meeting was held Sunday after
noon at the plumbing shop of Halder
Bros. by a number of poultry fanciers
for the purpase of perfecting an organi-
ton which was done. This will be
known as the Marathon County Poultry
association. Officers were elected as
follows:
President-Albert Fluegel
Secretary-Felix Simmer
Treasurer-Albert Halder.
Another meeting is called for next
Sunday afternoon to be held at the
same place at which the organization
will be further extended and work out
lined. The object Of this association is
to introduce into this country pure
blooded poultry, and not for the pur-
pose of coveting a neighbours flock
thus barring the negro. Our late coun-
ty fairs have demonstrated by their eX
hibits that the fowl of this country is
improving yearly in number, variety
and good blood. While some expert
ments have been made in establishing
henneries in this section by men of
money, who have too much other bust
ness 10 attend tol which would not
allow them going far in this direction,
they have learned that such an insti-
tuition properly started, conducted
addscared for, would be paying one.
Commission men often COMPLAIN of
difficulty in securing fowl for the mar
ket aud eggs, even at time of year
y ben they should be plentiful. 1t is
hoped that this association will be sue
cessful in the object for which it seeks.

A CLOSE GAME.

The Y. Nj. G. A. basket ball team
met its first defeat on last Friday
when it went to Stevens Point. The
team from the Point was in the strong
est possible condition and was de-
termined to wipe out the defeat which
1t had suffered at the hands of the
home team two weeks ago.
The game began at $50 and the local
team started out with a rush and it was
not long before the score was IA to in
Wausaus favor. However the work Of
the Pointers began to pickup and be-
fore the end of the first half they had
twice dropped the ball into the basket
and got three free throws thus ending
the first half with a score of Is to - in
Wausau's favor,
In the second half Stevens Point put
two fresh players into the game and it
was not long before the advantage of
Stevens Point having fresh men in the
game became evident, but our boys
Undetermined to die game and five
minutes before the close of the game
the score was DC to rs The Stevens
Point team then responded to the yells
of the crowd for fast play and when
the whistle blew for the call of time
the score was % TO So in favor of
Point.
Although the local team was de-
feated II had the satisfaction of
knowing that the trick was done
by the team which is probably the
strongest in Wisconsin. Although it is
not yet definitely decided, a game may
be played at Castle Hall on Friday at
which time it will be seen which has
the better team, Stevens Point or Wau-
sau.

writes friend here among other things
asfollows:
THE telephone service here is miser-
able. Every body is continually COM
planning. People actually wait from
10 to Is minutes, and then often fail to
get the party wanted. There is a
brassy rattle in the receiver that cuts
the ear like knife On rainy days the
whole service suffers almost complete
deafness. A year ago there was a
storm of protest by citizens, firms and
corporations, all complained but no re-
lief The more you kick the more they
laugh at you one told me. Added to
this the other abomination of high
prices, Business and office phones
cost $40 90 a month, house phone $500

cent advance in Wausau to 81 60 per

possessed by Sousa is illustrated by a

uneasily in their seats and some even
began to make rush for the door
Coolly tapping with his baton, Sousa
gave sigral and Immediately the band
began playing 20 dear What can the
Matter be?.' A tiny ripple of laughter
that went round the audience showed
that confidence had partially been re-
stored, and when the band went on to
play Wait till the clouds roll by" the
laughter deepened into a roar of mer-
riment that only ended when the lights
were turned on again.
Having demonstrated to British
audiences the superior excellence of
his great band and firmly established
his own popularity on the other side,
Sousa is again embarked on another
great s-continental concert tour
and will be heard at the Grand Opera
