PASSED 43c CHECK FOR S43.

r. Strochin, a stranger who has been
working at the plant of the Wausau
Canning Co., was arrested Thursday
evening for being drunk and disorderly
and had sentence passed upon him
Friday morning. Saturday Gustav
Steinberg, who conducts saloon up
'on the Merrill road, appeared in town
and swore out warrant for Strochin's
arrest, alleging that the latter had
swindled him out of money 1t APP
pears that when Strochin quit the en-
ploy of the canning company on Aug.
18th he had 43c due him, and was given
check for that amount He then
went up to Stenberg's place and asked
the latter to cash the check it being
alleged that he told Steinberg the
check was for $43. The saloon keeper
did not make a very scrutinizing
examination of the check. but paid
over the money The man then bought
few drinks and came down town and
proceeded to have good time. He
leaned against the bars of several
thirst quenching establishments until
he had acquired a glorious load of
"hooze," and then started in to make
things lively, when an officer of the
law "collared" him and locked him up
When he appeared in court next
morning he had very few shekels left.
Steinberg did not discover his mistake
until some time later. When Strochin
was brought into court yesterday
morning on the charge of grand Larceny
he waived examination and was bound
over to appear in circuit court for
trail. In lieu of getting bail of 5000 he
was locked up in the county jail to
await trial.

Story for the LIH5eSt Ones

On the top of big tree some small
black crows had their cradle. There
they lived very happily. In the house
near this big tree lived a little girl named
Nelly, and from her bedroom window
she could see away up in the tree the
little crows cradle rocking. Besides,
Mr., and Mrs Crow watched the cradle
carefully. One day Nelly's father said
the tree must be cut down, as it was
so big it might fall some day on the
house. So Nelly watched the men
chop the tree until il fell with a crash.
Father and Mother Crow watched it,
too, and all the little crows that were
in the cradle were killed, except one,
which was the blacklist of them all.
So Nelly took him up tenderly and car
ried him into the house, and fed him
on some raw eggs. She called him
Sambo, and he has lived with her ever
since, and takes his meals from her plate
at the table. He is a big crow now and
flies into all the trees, but always comes
home to Nelly every night, for he knows
she saved him when he was young,

"Cinderella in Flowerland

One of the largest and most atten-
tive audiences ever assembled in Odd
Fellows hall witnessed the presenta-
ton of Cinderella In Flowerland y
by pupils of the public school Thurs
day evening. 1t is seldom that the
people of a small place have an OPP
portunity to see so charming pro-
duction so beautifully presented. Too
much cannot be said ia praise of the
little folks who took part in it and of
the zeal, ability, taste and patience
displayed by the teachers in the
traing of the little players. Where
all the parts were so admirably rem
dered any criticism would be unseen

heard in all parts of the hall. The
costumes we're all lovely and the ball
scene looked in very truth like a scene
from fairyland.
The drills of the older pupils, fol-
lowing the operetta, were equally de-
serving of praise. The Butterfly
Drill of twelve girls, in their beau
tiful dresses of red, green and pink
was the very poetry of motion ard
one Of the prettiest acts ever seen
on the stage here. The boys did well
in their dumb-bell drill, and the mo-
ton song and drill of ten girls in
white was a fitting close to most
charming entertainment
