Upstairs were specimens of the house
wife's handicraft with the needle, and
the writer being man is not in posi-
ton to Judge of it, but considering the
number of women who surrounded it
continually, he would say that it must
have been very tine-perhaps, above
the average of such displays. There
was also display of beadWork and
other goods made by the Chippewa
Indians, whose agent, a full blooded
Indian, was present.
The lower floor of the annex was oc-
cupied as booths by merchants. The
James Music company had pianos,
organs and other musical instruments
on exhibition, presided over by Miss
Schaer and Father James, who hand
ed out fans and other advertising mat
ter. This work was hugely enjoyed by
Mr.. james, who had crowd of chis-
dren around him continually. K. Pin
der, The Penny Store man, had nice
exhibit of china and crockery ware
The Pardee Drug Co displayed and ad-
vertised a stock of preparations for dis
eases of farm animals, while the other
booths were occupied by A. Wiechman
& Son, hardware, the Wausau Music
House and by . glassware concern.
The upper floor was taken up princi-
pally by school exhibits of drawings,
paintings and art work.
A number of agricultural machinery
agents also had displays. Roemer u
Thalheim having theirs under large
tent.
There was anotable absence of fakirs
or gamblers and not one feature of a
suspicious creature was allowed on the
grounds. There was merry -go-round,
which coined mint of money, the
usual number of refreshment stands, a
few barkers Offering things for sale
and freak sheep.
THE RACES.
The racing program was far the best
that the society has had in years. The
prospects of Wednesday looked dubi-
Gus, but considering the large crowds
that had paid their admission to the
grand stand it was decided to pull off
the races-rain or no rain. FREQUENT
showers during the afternoon made the
track anything but the best. The clay
recently put on the track got slippery
and sticky from the rain and made it
unpleasant for driver and animal, and
the time was not made that under other
conditions would have been.

COUNCIL MEETING.

A regular meeting of the common
council was held Tuesday evening, all
but three members being present
G. D. Bartz appeared and under sus-
pension of rules addressed the members
in behalf of Stephen Dziszbicki, the
young lad bitten week ago by mad
dog. Mr. Bartz explained the situation
the financial standing of the family
and the necessity for immediate action
and asked that the council pay at
least portion of the expense of send
ing the boy to the Pasteur institute.
The boy and father were both present
and wert called upon to speak, the boy
explained how the dog bit him, the
father enlightened the members as re-
CARDS his financial resources and stat
ing that he was willing to pay half the
expense. 1t was moved and carried
that sum, not to exceed 800, be al
lowed to defray half the expense of
sending the boy to Chicago.
Upon petition of the town of Weston,
asking the use of the steam road roller
to roll down a piece of macadam near
Schofield, such request was granted.
The following appointments were
confirmed: j. j. Lohmar to succeed
w. w. Afbers as member of the po-
lice and fire commissions; Otto Muen-
chow to succeed Fred Genrich on the
library board and f. G. Zimmerman
to succeed himself.
The board of education in its annual
report asked that $33, 900 be levied for
school purposes.
The cost of macadamizing Main
street was 81 ,624 of which the city pays
half, costing lot holders $3.50, 2 per
cent. discount if paid in 80 days. The
board of public works, whicn made the
above figures was also Instructed to
make an assessment of Franklin street
macadamizing.
Architect Philip Dean exhibited q
plan for a new roof for the east side
engine house, which he agreed to put
on, furnishing the material hlmsel1, IoI
81, 600. Herman Miller offered to re-
pair the old one with some tar-like
preparation guaranteed by its makers
to turn water for five years, for the
sum of S235. The latter's offer was ac
cepted, providing he furnished a suit
able bond.
The dog catcher, Andrew Peterson
asked that his salary of SEQ per month
be increased to $50. Having only cap
tured 46 dogs last month for which ht
received SOC each, his salary for the
month was S4S, which he considered too
small. BY resolution it was voted t.
allow him 75e per dog hereafter.
An adjournment was taken to TIM
Tuesday evening.

President Of Columbia University Regular
Worker In the Gymnasium.

Nicholas Murray Butler. president of Co.
lumbia University. is the latest devotee OF
athletics at the Morningsidc institution,
Believing thoroughly In the tenet of II sound
mind in a sound body he has very recently
become an attendant at gymnasium work
under the directo ion Of university instructors
in gymnastics. President Butler has always
taken a keen interest in athletics among the
undergraduates at Columbia and has done
all in his rover to aid the students to build
up first class teams His advent to tine gym
nasium is taken az another evidence OF his
personal appreciation of what athletics can
do for n man who is principally engaged In
intellectual pursuits.

them into his private office gave them in

that he will practis" at the heavier sorts of

Also Causes Excitement--Big Zen
Successful In New Orleans Handicap.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 28.-The crowd
was large one at the races this afternoon.
| bu unfortunately an intoxicated man
caused a riot by his wild actions. The man
was A. j. Carter from Brookhaven, Mass =,
who is a prominent contractor and politician
in that State.
Carter had row in the ladies cafe and
was elected from that place. Next he at
tempted to kill the cook in the kitchen,
which is adjoining. He afterward made
his appearance in front Of the grand stand.
He was staggering, when policeman re-
quested him to walk straight or leave the
place His answer was an oath.
Carter was placed under arrest; as the
policeman put his hand on his shoulder
Carter pulled out large pearl handled
gun. A panic ensued Immediately. Men
and women ran in every direction. The bet
ting ring was deserted Immediately, Many
ran for the front gates. In the twinkling
OF an eve score of officers surrounded Car
ter. He was Immediately placed in the
temporary prison at the racecourse. The
story became current that Carter had at
tempted to kill the judges, but there was
no truth in it, He was quite a distance
away from the judges stand when he was
placed under arrest. Furthermore, he also
gave up his revolver when he was sur
rounded by the police.
The judges in the third race all but caused
riot by giving the race to Tioga, when the
crowd thought that Josette had won by a
head on the post The days feature was

Railroad on Randolph street, Oak Park.

last Sunday by the Lake Street Elevated
Railroad as branch of its line in Oak Park,
The Suburban company ran single
