There was dance at the club house
on Wednesday evening, given by the
young men. 1t was very pleasant
affair in every particular
VIM. Steindorf, of the town of Knowl-
ton, released from the Northern Hos
pital for Insane at Oshkosh last March.
was returned last Thursday by the
sheriff.
The Eau Claire Leader sees a return
to the golden age period of prosperity
in the fact that Chippewa county has
sold its poor house on account of lack
of patronage.
The cement sidewalk has proven
itself the most economical sidewalk of
the age. 1t lasts for years where a
plank walk is in continual need of re-
pair. 1t costs but a little more than
present high priced lumber and always
gives satisfaction. Ask Archie o. Clark
for estimates.
An addition to the telephone direc-
tory was issued the past week The
same is to be posted in the book for
reference There are now 565 names on
the list besides the toll lines, and it is
becoming almost impossible for the
girls at the central Office to give con-
nections except by number and sooner
or later it will have to come to this.
The plant of the Wisconsin Veneer
company, at Rhinelander, was totally
destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning.
The fire originated in the dry kiln
which contained $4,000 of finished
veneer and it is thought was the work
of an incendiary, as no infammable
substance was in the kiln. Loss is
placed at $4,000 which is partially
covered by an insurance of ST., 500.
M Clifford, of Stevens Point, awoke
last Wednesday morning apd found
that he could hardly see and that every
thing looked double to him. Later he
went to Milwaukee to consult an eye
and ear specialist who said that small
blood vessel had burst near the right
eye and that while Mr.. Clifford's sight
would return, he must take rest from
business. Mr. Clifford's many friends
in Wausau hope for his early recovery.
For several years there have been mar
velous and miraculous cures claimed to
have been effected at Holy Hill, in
Washington county. The Rev. j. j.
keenan,, pastor of st. Patrick Catholic
church, of Fond du Lac, has recently
declared that none of the such cures
reported have stood the test of investi-
cation. 1t is pretty well understood
that the railway companies have en-
larged upon the reports for advertising
purposes.
The members of lions Lutheran
church rendered their pastor, Rev. e.
A. Bretcher, surprise on Wednesday
evening. 1t has been twenty-five years
since he accepted the pastorate of that
church and has filled the pulpit continu-
ously since. Out of respect and in APP
probation of his services his congrega-
ton deemed it appropriate to make him
present, and summoning him to the
church on the above named evening
they presented him with a handsome
writing desk and S25 in money.
And now gold has been found at
Eagle River PAY dirt was struck
while digging well. There is gold in
every county in Northern Wisconsin,
it crops out here and there and gets
mems brains on fire with dreams of
enormous wealth, but when actual
search is made for the yellow metal, it
fades away and the seeker just has the
pleasure of spending his money. Such
is the experience of those who have put
in their money mining for gold in Wis
eonsin. Take our advice and let it
alone.
Tuesday morning last Henry Goebers
son, Tony, boy fifteen years old, ran
away from home and Mr.. Goebel mott
fed the sheriff The sheriff learned
that the boy had companion, Frank
Roller, who that day left for Baraboo.
Suspectiug that the Goebel boy might
have accompanied him he telegraphed
the marshal of Baraboo to be on the
lookout In the evening the sheriff
received word that the boy was found
and the next day the father went down
and brought him back.
A crowd of people was attracted to
the First National bank Thursday even
ing by the sounding of the burglar
alarm gong just installed, and some
came expecting to find the bank full of
burglars, but were disappointed. In
the outer encaSement, protecting the
vallt doors, the electric current is not
effective before ten o'clock in the even
ing, but thereafter is on until the hour
for opening in the morning. The elec-
trical arrangement of these doors is de-
scribed elsewhere, and Thursday even
ing was the first test they had. Evi-
IDENTITY something was "off, )" for shortly
before ten O'Clock the outside gong set
up an awful din, which continued
