Crowds Already Begin to As.
sembIe.
The City Gay with Bunting, Music
and Happy Throngs---ShoWs
Open Tonight.

o. The .grandest event in Mankaro' 8
history. the celebration of its fiftieth
birthday. the golden or semi centen-
NAL anniversary. began today, .amid
the....futter.ofs.ss flags and bunting. and
strains of music. The crowds have
begun to..sscongregate, and if good
weather continues the city will have
a.greater number of people within her
gates than ever before.
The streets were abustle early this
morning. Stores were to be decorated,
window displays arranged, stands
erected, and the big Bostock- Ferari
shows were to be gotten in place.
The hours were busily spent, while
the crowds began to come in and
walked up and down the, streets, sslook-
ing on.
Never before was the city so beau
tifully decorated. Had the Glendon
Co. not run out of supplies, it would
have fitted out still more buildings.
Front street is a scene of beauty BY
day, and will be equally so by night,
with the twelve electric arches ablaze
with their myriad lights.
The Bostock- Ferari Co. pitched it
many tents during the day, and
will open up tonight as soon as the
crowd assemblies. These performances
will be produced any time of the day
or night that the patronage warrants.
The Bostock- Ferari shows are located
just off Front street as follows:
Jackson street-Moving pictures,
the dog and monkey circus, little
Minnie.
Hickory street.-The Maze, the coun-
try store, and the Watson sisters and
Zamora, this latter being a free act.
Walnut STRAIGHTFORWARD palace, and
the smallest horse in the world.

the coliseum.

GOES DAFFY.

Geo. Naef, divorced husband of the
unfortunate Frieda Naef, ho was found
dead near the fair grounds two years
ago with two bullets in her head gener-
ally supposed to have been fired by an
assassin, is insane. For some time past
he has been living with his parents in
the town of Stettin and also for some
time back has been drinking very hard
it is said, which has caused derange-
ment of his mind. He has been grow
ing worse and on Saturday he filled
up with whiskey at threshing
bee and came home aud threatened to
exterminate the whole family. Some
neighbors were called in and as they ar-
rived, George struck his mother, and
picked up lighted lamp and threw it
on the table, but fortunately the flame
was extinguished before the lamp
struck the table. After severe str.s
gle the neighbors succeeded in bringing
him to the floor. and they then tied his
arms and legs securely with ropes, and
brought him to town and placed him in
the county Jail, where he was examined
yesterday morning by Drs. Hundt and
Kitzki who found him fit subject for
the Northern Hospital for Insane, and
he was committed and taken to the
Oshkosh institution at noon yesterday,
by the sheriff.

MARROW ESCAPE.

August Tessman came near being
killed last Thursday by Northwestern
train. "Gabe," as he is famliarly
known, delivers ice for p. o. Means
and Thursday forenoon after leaving a
cake of ice at the residence of Jos.
Muckerheide, at the corner of Fourth
avenue and Garfield street he started
to cross the railroad track to make
another delivery. He started up the
horses and then went back in the COW
cred wagon TO cut up "A large cake into
smaller pieces and had been thus en-
gagged few minutes when he thought
he heard train approaching. Going
to the front end of the wagon he peered
out but could see no train, although
SOME men working in lumber yard
near by signal,ed for him to stop which
signals he mistoOk and thought they
meant for him to hurry up. He started
the team at faster gait and when the
rear end of the wagon was crossing the
tracks it was struck by locomotive
and hurled high in the air, falling to
the ground a complete wreck. Mr..
Tessman had an ankle severely sprained
and was considerably bruised up, but
that he was not killed seems miracu-
lous. The horses escaped without any
apparent injury.

A GOOD MOVE.

The city council is to be commended
in its action, last Tuesday evening, in
voting to macadamize the strip of road
that is necessary to connect the nlacad-
amizing on Grand Ave. by the city and
the excellent piece of road which has
just been completed by the town Of
Weston The distance is only 1000 feet
which is to be macadamized twenty
feet wide, one half the cost TO be paid
by the city and the other half by the
adjoining property owners; when COM
pleted there will be an excellent paved
road from the city to the bridge which
crosses the Eau Claire river, dis
tanee of over three miles In refusing
to build this piece of road, our city
would have shown a decided lack of
enterprise and it would have been a
gross injustice to the town of Weston
Last year the city macadamized Grand
Ave. TO the asylum road. which lacks
about three blocks Of being to the city
limits, or to where the town OF Weston
commenced It's work last spring.

A CITY CREAMERY.

J.. X. Powell, of Minneapolis, pro-
poses to establish in this city cream
cry. He represents the Hicks Cream
Separator Co. aud hats leased the Braatz
building as mandatory of butter.
His plan is to provide the farmers with
the cream separators made by his com
pauy and let them do the work of sep
arating the cream from the milk. and
ms soon as the creamery is ready for
operation, routes will be established
through the county and the cream col
lected several times each week. This
saves the farmer the time and trouble
of driving into town with his milk, and
also saves the company the expense OF
installing expensive machinery tor the
cream separation. 1t also gives the
farmer an opportunity of using his
sweet milk for the fattening of pigs,
etc. Mr.. Powell has not stated The
time at which the creamery would be
opened for business, but il viii not be
delayed any longer than possible.

A NEW IDEA.


DIR. +. j. Wilke, healta officer of Osh-
kosh, has evolved a new theory as to
the cause of the epidemic of smallpox
that has existed in cities e central and
southern Wisconsin this spring and
summer. He is of the opinion that
those who have suffered from the
disease in his city at least have not con.
tracted it from direct infection from
other persons, but from infected lum-
ber that has been shipped from the
north
DR.. Wilke bases his statements upon
his experience in caring for smallpox
patients in Oshkosh lie says that
about nine cases out of ten, especially
those of the more virulent form which
have existed in Oshkosh during the
. past six months, the man of the family
hes been the first of the family to be
taken sick, and he was usually an en-
ploye of oEe 6t the sash, door and blind
factories. or some other Woodworking
institution. He says that while he has
never heard any other physician make
this claim it seems reasonable to him.
The wood as it is received at Oshkosh
is in logs, cut for the most part in
northern Wisconsin. In that section OF
the state there have been many Gases
of the disease and several deaths.
Wood, he says, is porous and has
rough bark, and would readily take on
germs of disease. The germs then
cling to the wood and are brought to
the city, and it is comparatively easy
for men who work in the factories to be
thus exposed and to contract the
disease

There will be quite few strangers at
the fair this year who win come here
for the purpose of ascertaining con5i-
tons as they prevail in this county, for
the taking of first premium at the state
fair three years in succession has greatly
advertised Marathon county. Some of
these strangers may conclude to settle
here or cause others to locate in the
county and it therefore behooves the
people to make creditable showing
and demonstrate what the county's soil

The petition of G. s. Cone, manager

to cut out opera houses from paying a
license fee of 50 for each performance
of theatrical company was reported
favorably upon by the committee to
whom it bad been referred at previous
meeting Then followed lengthy dis
cussion as TO the prudence of adopting
the report. A vote or the matter re-
suited in a tie and the mayor decided
thematter by voting to let the ordinance
stand as it now is.
Alderman Muenehow offered a reso-
luton providing for the construction of
a bridge across the river TO connect the
First and Seventh wards, to be built by
tax levy of $4,000 The resolution
provided for 81, 900 of this levy to be

the tay IS of each year for the following
two years. Referred 10 committee.
The mayor stated that he had ap-
pointed John Ward As member of the
board of public works, in place of Louis
Salzman, resigned, his term to begin
Aug. 18th. The appointment was con-
firmed.
Alderman Schmidt moved that after
October 18th the room in the city hall
now used by policeman Anderson's s
family as sitting room should be
turned over to the city treasurer for an
office. The motion was carried.
The board of public works was or
dered to take up the block paving at
the end of the slough bridge and replace
the same with macadam.
