GOES TO GRAND RAPIDS.

In last weeks issue we inadvertently
failed to mention the fact that Franklin
E. Bump, junior member of the law firm
of Bump & Bump, had decided to leave
car CITY, Mr. Bump has entered into
partnership with John Cochran, OF
Grand Rapids, and will associate him.
self in the law business of the latter
gentleman. He has purchased home
III the latter city and will move his
family there about Oct. lst, though he
will retain his interests here and visit
this city frequently.
Mr.. Bump is graduate of the Merrill
high school, took four years literary
course in the State University, gradu-
ated from the law department Of the
University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor,
and also from the Leland Stanford Uni
versity at Palo Alto, Cal. He entered
the practice of law upon his return
from the latter institution, associatlng
himself with Atty's Brown & Eradt IN
til 1900, when he entered the firm OF
Bump & Marchetti as junior partner.
Mr.. Bump is one of the best posted
attorneys in this section in points of
law and has been very successful since
taking up the profession. He has those
qualifications necessary to a successful
attorney perseverance, untsring energy
and a frankness in advising clients.
The people of this city are averse TO
losing Mr. Bump and family. but what
is our loss, is Grand Rapids gain, and
the people of that city will find them q
welcome adjunct to their society.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The first meeting of the Tuesday
Musical club for the year will be held
Tuesday, Oct. 9th, at 4 o'clock in the
parlors of the club house. This will be
followed by an informal reception Civ
ing new members an opportunity to
meet the active members also to sign
their names in the secretary's book.
There seems to have been an errone-
Gus impress ion abroad regarding the
associate membership of this organiza-
tion-that the membership was limited
toithe list of announcements sent out
this is all wrong. The associate mem
bership may include each and every
lady in Wausau who is interested in
good music, especially are the young
ladies who are studying music invited,
and all who wish to become more in
telligent listeners to programs of a
classical order If music be the only
universal language which establishes a
brotherhood between the people of all
nations, as some one has said, should it
not behoove us all to try for better
understanding of those messages of
veal and woe, love and passion, free
dom and oppression, as told to us
through the musical compositions by
the great masters of the past and pres
ent 1t is the purpose of the Tuesday
club to take for its line of study this
winter-Musical Forms what they
signify to the composer and what mean
ing they should convey to us. A COM
prehensive paper will be read at each
meeting, followed by musical selections
illustrating the subject presented.
The plan promises to be more inter-
esting to those who have not had the
advantages of musical study, and will
appeal directly to those who are honest
enough to admit to themselves, at least,
their inability to understand classical
music

A REAL MINSTREL MAN.

Fred p. Russell, who will appear at
the Grand Opera, Sunday, Oct. 4, with
the Gus Sun American Minstrel is con-
sidered one of the brightest black face
comedians now in the minstrel firma-
ment. He was two years principal CON-
edian and monologuist with the Al. G.
Fields MINISTRIES; three years he occu-
pied a similar position with Frank
Dumonts Minstrels of Philadelphia,
the only city in the U. S. that can sup
porta permanent minstrel organiza-
ton. Besides being exceedingly funny
and original, Mr.. Russell has an excel
lent singing voice and his work is re-
fined and away from that Undiscovered
method so often employed by other min
strel stars. He is a young man of pleas
ing appearance and address and mod
estly wears the garments OF success
which have covered his efforts in the
minstrel world for the past ten years.

tory, and will use as a text book ''The
Story of the State" by Henry f. Leg
Ter, who will deliver a lecture to the
club sometime during the year.
The study hour was most ably opened
by Mrs. L v. D. Van Yechten who, in
an address of forty-fve minutes, led her
audience through the period of begin
ming in the state, and set an excellent
example of thro' preparation and gra-
cious presentation of her subject.
Mrs. Susan L. Single gave an inter.
esttiHg account of the construction Of
the Panama canal, and was followed by
Mrs. ID. T. Jones in two musical num-
bers, greatly appreciated by those pres.

KILLED BY TRAIN.

Last night a crew on the North.
western was switching between the
Wisconsin Box Co.'s plant and Wausau
jet, when one of the crew met with a
fatal accident. The man, whose name
was Fred Schultz, was walking along
the track and approaching culvert
covered by cattle guard, attempted TO
cross the same. His foot slipped
through between two of the iron bars
and he was unable TO extrieate himself.
The train was approaching with no
chance of signaling it, and there were
two alternatives presented to him-stay
where he was and meet instant death
or lean over and have his leg taken off.
He chose the latter. Throwing out his
body as far as he could he awaited tie
approach of the train, and as it struck
him the left leg was ground off just
below the hip. His cries attracted the
attention of his companions as they
passed by him, and the train was
stopped and the unfortunate man
picked up and Immediately removed to
this city. He was taken to the Emer-
gency hospital, where he received all
the aid that medical attention could
give him, but at $50 this morning he
died, death no doubt ensuing from
nervous shock. The young man was
twenty-five years of age and resident
of Appleton. This morning his remains
were prepared for burial and shipped
to his home for interment.

HIGH SCHOOL VS.. ALUMNI.

On Saturday last the high school foot
ball team succeeded in defeating the
alumni team by the close score of 5 to
O. The alumni team was composed of
most of the best players that have ever
been graduated from the high school.
This fact together with it being the
first time an alumni team has been de-
feated, makes the victory doubly sweet
to the high school boys The rules are
now so revised that it takes away any
of the Objectionable features that some
people might have found in the game
heretofore. This was shown in the way
all players came out of the game, none
of whom were in the least injured.
The high school team plays Stevens
Point high school team here on next
Saturday. The Point team seems to be
very strong one and the local team
will practice hard this week to conquer
them. So far the scedule is as follows

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.

Arrangements are now in progress to
materially improve the telephone SER
vice of the Wausau Telephone Co. For
a year past the directors have been
casting about for new quarters which
would meet all the requirements. The
present quarters were not large enough
and not suitable for rapidly growing
plant. The rooms formerly occupied by
the Wausau Business college have been
secured, mention of which was made in
the PILOT several weeks ago. The work
of moving the central Office to that To-
cation will commence at once and it is
proposed to make much needed inn
provements in the plant at this time.
The poles and cross arms are so loaded
down with wires and the trees through
out the city have grown up into the net
work to such an extent that every time
there is a strong wind the lines become
badly crossed and good service is next
to impossible. Indeed. it requires such
large crew of men, under the present
condition of things, to keep the system
in order that the expenses are all out
of proportion to what they should be if
the city were cabled and the system
made m etallic one. 1t has been de-
cided to make this change, and Nathan
Heinemann, president of the company,
departed for Chicago last Saturday to
purchase cables and everything neces.
sary to commence the important work.
just what will be done to bring the
plant up to what it should be, has not
yet been definitely settled upon, but
there will be an expert telephone engi-
neer in the city in a few days to make
maps and diagrams and to lay out the
work so that it may be done in a salts
factory way. When completed, Wan
sau will have an up-to-date plant, con
structed on a lasting foundation and
which may be added to as new devices
are placed upon the market and one
which can be operated at a minimum
