and examined by Drs Rosenberg and

crepit with age, and at times talks ra-

The people of Stevens Point are
evidently great readers as the annual
report of the state library commission
would indicate. The public library in
that city, the population which is of
9524 last year had circulation of 40
420 Wausau's library had circulation
of 1881 and yet we have nearly 5000
more and better people than has
Stevens Point The fact is we are too
busy making money and don't get time
to read.
The past few days of cold weather in
duced the farmers to advance the price
of wood somewhat bus their sales have
been slow owing to the fact that most
people secured their winters wood
early in the season. Last Friday the
market square was crowded with teams
and the owners held up their price from
early in the day until the shades of
evening .hen they " ere. forced to go
to hotels and other public places and
dispose of their wood at cut rates.
If one wishes to get an idea of the
amount of farm and wood products
brought into the city they would do
well to walk up to N Sixth street some
forenoon and survey the busy scene
there to be witnessed 1t certain times
the string of teams coming into town
on that street resembles funeral pro-
cession as to length. Loads of wood,
bark, excelsior bolts, hay, grain, etc.,
are much in evidence, all seeking a
market Grand Ave. and the town of
| Stettin and town of Maine roads also
present much activity now while the
sleighing is good, and one would Won
der where SO much of the farmers
surplus products go to.
Mrs. Clara Boetcher, practical mid
wife, Fifth street, next to German
Lutheran church Confnements and
and all other kinds of sickness taken at
the house. IT,
The dance given Friday evening
by the Eagles at the conclusion

and to have been fully enjoyed by all
present. After the installation cere-
monies. dancing was inaugurated in
| the hail. DR.. A L. Browns office in the
meantime being turned into a waiting
room for the ladies. There was a very
large attendance, considering the cold
weather. AT midnight about 100 of the
dancers repaired to the Crystal cafe,
where a sumptuous supper was served,
and this part of the evenings program
was one that bad been looked forward
to as one OF the pleasurable numbers,
and it proved to be such. The ball
and banquet added much to the popu.
larity of the society.

Eugene Hogan is being examained in
| Judge Milier's court on the charge of
having been responsible for Frances
Gettschalk's present predicament.
Frances arrived from the Waupun pris-
on Saturday evening as a witness aud
the examination was begun yesterday
afternoon Frances was called to the
stand and nearly the entire afternoon
was spent by the attorneys in drawing
from her the story other ruin as alleged
in the complaint. Frances is a poor
witness and at times taxed the
patience OF the lawyers questioning her
for she was reticsnt in making answers
She was again called this morning and
it is quite likely that the examination
will not be concluded before tomorrow
