SCIENTIFIC CONTEST.

About $50 people were attracted tC
Columbia hall Thursday evening by a
three bout sparring exhibition, and
nearly a third of the audience were
visitors from other towns. The con-
tests, from boxers standpoint, were
about the best that have been given
here thus far, and those who went there
with the expectation of seeing hippo
Ed.UaIes and clinching matches were dis
appointed While all were scientific
there was just enough ginger to them
to keep the spectators in state of ex-
element.
The first bout between Geo. Henning
and Kid Corsey resulted in a victory
for the latter in the sixth round. Both
displayed clever work.
The second match was between
Young Sharkey and Jack Memsic.
Sharkey displayed remarkable skill in
lodging out of tight places, but his OPP
ponent was much the heavier and
stronger, and Sharkey was laid away
in the fourth. Memsic is brother of
Mike Memsic, Chicago pugilist OF
some note
The third bout was between Maurice
Rauch and Mage King. At the start it
appeared as if King would be easy and
in the second round the latter was
knocked down for the count and people
thought it was all over with, but he
arose and was at his man again. He
staid the eight rounds and though
knocked down repeatedly always came
up smiling King is but seventeen
years old and is considered a coming
man in the pugilistic world. He had
the sympathy of the audience on ae-
count of questionable methods resorted
to by his opponent.

THE FIGHT ENDED.

On Friday last, E. B.. Cottrell, of
Milwaukee, manager of the Wisconsin
Telephone company, came to Wausau
ta meet with the directors of the Wau-
S u Telephone company and to con-
fe with them in reference TO connect
ing up their long distance lines with
their local plant, and turning over their
entire business to the Wausau company
and making sale to it of their poles,
wires, etc., excepting the poles which
will carry their long distance lines.
This was accomplish ed to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned, and very soon a
force of workmen will be on the grounds
to make the transfer, and to arrange
to give long distance service to all who
desire it over all of the Wisconsin
company's lines, this is done by plac-
ing long distance transmitters and re-
ceivers on the Wausau Instruments
Every subscriber of the Wausau COM
pany can have this service by paying
% cents per month in addition to old
rates, by notifying N. Heinemann,
president, or any of the directors, or
by telephoning in to the central Office.
Thus ends struggle OF over eight
years. Nine years ago the Wisconsin
company was charging. that our citi-
zens deemed exorbitaut rates. Several
meetings were held with the Wisconsin
people to try and have the rates re-
duced, but they were intolerant and
independent and would rot listen to
anything that tended to lower the tax
upon our citizens, so without further
parleying, the home company was or
ganized. and the following gentlemen
named as its board of directors: N.
Heinemann, g. d. Jones, w w. Albers,
James Montgomery and II. F. May
nard 1t was firmly established on a
basis that has withstood all onslaughts.
'Phe Wisconsin company offered SER
vice to its local exchange subscribers,
free, but our citizens refused to have
anything TO do with it and after a
couple of years it gave up its local
work. This seriously hindered the use
of its long distance lines, for it was
nuisance for our business men to bave
to run down to the main Office every
time they were called up over the Wis
consin lines, and the Wisconsin officials
recognizing that absolutely nothing
could be done here towards bettering
their service, while conditions existed
as they were, acknowledged their utter
defeat and made the Wausau company
an exceedingly fair proposition which
has been accepted, and they will retire
from the field as competitors.
The Wausau company has gained a
wide reputation for the excellent man
ner in which it was established and
many independent companies have
since been started in precisely the same
manner, sending here for copies of
papers and following out every detail.
The outcome is such as to cause gen
eral rejoicing as it assures the citizens
of Wausau one of the most substantial
plants in Wisconsin, and one that will
be able to furnish its subscribers from
now on, the very best local and long
distance service known.

FURNACE STARTS FIRE.

Shortly before seven o'clock Tues
day evening last, fire was discovered in
the basement of the Continental cloth
ing Co. s store, and it was lucky that
the discovery was made before the
flames had made any headway or there
might have been a serious fire. The
building is surrounded by brick
veneered structures-the hardest kind
in which to fight a blaze. A furnace
was installed in the basement of this
store some time ago and to this is
traced the origin of the Tuesday
nights trouble. When discovered the
ioists were ablaze but had not burned
through the floor The basement, the
store ON the first floor and the offices
above were filled with smoke, and later
the smoke worked through into the
Mayer shoe store adjoining. Six
streams of wafer were turned into the
building and the basement was literally
flooded. There was such dense smoke
in the offices above that it was thought
the flames had worked their way
through, and run up the south wall.
The plastering was torn off but no fire
was found. The Continental Clothing
Co suffered little loss. The firm had
that day received new fixtures and a
lot of new goods. These goods had
not been unpacked and the Weinfeld
stock being nearly all disposed of, a
Eninimum loss was suffered. The Wis
consin Telephone Co. s office was badly
Uttered up with plastering, etc. .,and for
time the batteries were disconnected
from the switch board cutting off COM
munication with other cities but the
operator, Miss Tripp, soon righted
matters, and again had the board in
working order. The loss suffered by
MIR Welnfeld on the building is covered
by insurance. With the expenditure
of few hundred dollars for repairs,
inr % will a' be nor none the the worse for the fire.

Roy WHO KEPT HIS EYES OPEN.

The negro labOrerS in the diamond
mines in South Africa bring to the
surface great tubfuls of hard earth
which contain diamonds and Other
larger mineral substances. The earth
IS dried and softened in the air and
then shoveled into washing machines,
where the dirt is separated from the
minerals. Then, until recently, it was
necessary for laborers to go over the
minerals and pick out the rougn dla-
monds with the hand This was
slow process Among the employees IN
the sorting room of one of the mines
was a boy who set about trying to dis
cover way to separate the diamonds
from the other stones more quickly
and easily than by the slow process OF
hand picking. One day a Eougn dla-
mond and a garnet happened to be ly-
ing on a small board on the bench
where he was working He picked up
one end of the board when the garnet
slipped off, but the diamond remained.
Investigating, the boy found there was
q coating of grease Oh the board which
had retained the diamond but allowed
the garnet to slip. Procuring Wlder
board he covered one side OF it with
grease, and dumped Few handfuls OF
MIXED minerals ON il, lnclinlng the
board and shaking it little, all tho
minerals slid off except the diamonds.
He then invented machine and IN
vited TIE big diamond men to witness
the new method The invention was
an entire success, and the WORK OF
picking out the diamonds in all the
South African mines is now accom-
plished b. machinery, and the youhe
inventor is rich.

CALICO is COMING BACK.
There Is Prospect of a Revival of an
Old and BECOMING Fashion.

For many years past calico has been
conspicuous in woman's wardrobe by
its absence. Many will be rejoiced to
learn that it is coming to the front
once more. A calico gown is so out
of date as to be hopeless to the ma
iority of people, yet those who keep
right up to the mark are looking at the
new calico and investing in it.
The special cause of the return of
calico to popularity is the shirtwaist
suit, for calico makes up so very neat
" into these suits. And another rea
son is the Improvement in the patterns
of the new calicoes which leave SO
very little to be desired. There come
very pretty calico patterns in cream
with a little figure, and in light blue
and light pink and in the darker col
ors. brown. green and navy blue. these
wash well, wear like iron and are sc
very neat that one is tempted to invest
so that one can have a pretty shirt
waist suit for morning wear.
