EPIDEMIC OF APPENDICITIS.
The Disease Seems to Be Prevailing
at Kingman.

Morton Albaugh returned this morn
ing from Wichita, where he went to
attend the funeral of the late W. NJ.
Wallace of Kingman. Mr.. Wallace s
body was taken for burial to Berwick,
III, the old home of Mrs. Wallace.
Mr.. Albaugh says it is a remarkable
fact that there are five more Kingman
people in St. Francis hospital, where
Mr.. Wallace died of appendicitis. and
that all but one of them are i'll with
the same disease. There seems to be
a sort of epidemic of appendicitis in
kingman, except that epidemic ism t
the right word for it.

NEW GRANITE COMPANY.

A meeting was held Saturday evening
last in the Office of VIM. John by a
number of Wausau gentlemen, for the
purpose of forming an organization to
be known as the International Granite
90. There was not a full representa-
ton of stockholders present, and con-
sequently the business transacted was
not of definite order, and another
meeting has been called for next Satur-
day evening at which time it is expected
there will be larger turnout.
The company, if it is fully organized
and Incorporated, will be composed of
Wausau gentlemen of-capital, who own
about 10000 acres of land in Oneida
county near Pelican lake, that has
enough granite on the surface to supply
the whole United States The granite
is of the red variety, and similar to that
found in this county The lands are
situated along the Northwestern rail
road, and the company is assured of
good shipping facilities. The matter
of erecting a large plant on the grounds
for the dressing of rough stock has been
discussed, and if such a move is made
it will perhaps be done during the COM
ing summer The plant would no
doubt be paying one from the start,
for there is constant demand for
granite, at good prices, and the WiscOn-
sin article is fast cfowdIng the Scotch
and Vermont varieties ont of the mar
ket. AS we said before, everything is
as yet up in the air. as regards the
plans of the gentlemen interested, but
there are good prospects of an organi-
cation, and the men back of the move
have plenty of capital and energy to
push things. At the meeting Saturday
night temporary organization was
effected by the election of the following
officers:
President-R. +. Parcher
Secretary y Manson.
Treasurer-W. ID. Kollock.

SEVENTH BIENNIAL.

The seventh biennial of the General
Federation of Women's clubs, will be
held in St Louis on the second week in
May and already deep interest is felt in
all arrangements pertaining to the
meeting, and the fact that it is to be
held in the Worlds Fair city gives it
additional Importance.
The Wisconsin clubs are promptly
elecCing their local and state delegates,
the state being entitled to ten delegates
at large, selected from the congressional
districts. Each club numbering less
than fifty members sends one delegate
and an alternate, whiie clubs number
ing more than fifty and less than h1n-
dred shall be represented by their
president and one delegate besides two
alternates.
The Laoi,>s' ;lerarJ club of Wausau,
comes in the second class. At a recent
meeting this club elected the following
delegates to represent the Tenth Con-
gressional district and the local club
Mrs. w. C. Dickens, delegate from
the Tenth district, her alternate to be
selected later.
DR.. Margaret Trevitt, delegate from
the Ladies' Literary club.
Mrs. ID. l.. Plumer, alternate from the
Ladies Literary club.
The president of the club is also a
delegate by virtue of her office, but un-
til after the election of club officers, in
April we cannot name the second dele
gate nor her alternate.
With one hundred and fifty clubs in
Wisconsin, each being represented by
from one to ten delegates, (such for
instance as in the case of the College
Endowment association of Milwaukee.
which numbers seven hundred and ten
members) besides the large number of
club women who have planned to see
the Exposition during the biennial
week, it would be reasonable to expect
crush Mt the Badger Club women s
headquarters.

TELEPHONE CASE W0N

The case of the Wausau Telephone
company against The United Fireman's
Insurance company, of Philadelphia;
The German American Insurance COM
pany, n Y; The Lumberman's Insur-
ance company of Philadelphia, and the
Palatine Insurance company, limited,
of London, England, has been won in
circuit court. by the Wausau Telephone
company The insurance companies
above mentioned refused to pay the
fire loss sustained by the telephone
company, on the evening of February
9Th, 1902, at which time about ST 600
worth of the company's property was
destroyed, the total amount of the iH-
surance on the same being 81, 500. The
insurance companies sent an adiuster
here and he reported that the COM
panies were not liable because the fire
was started by an electric current caused
by the crossing of electric light and
telephone wires. Each of the companies
had attached to its policies a clause as
follows:
This instrument does not cover any
loss or damage to property caused by
electric currents, whether artificial or
natural"
The companies accepted the advice
of their adiuster and refused to pay.
The Telephone company advised with
its lawyers and the advice given was
the same, which was that the clause
above mentioned referred to damage
other than loss by fire or what is desig-
mated in decisions of court as direct
damages, such as shattering or damag-
ing or other injuries not resulting in
fire. Second, if it was construed to
mean fire loss, it would be a violation
of the statute Of Wisconsin prescribing
standard policy of fire insurance
The company therefore, brought action
against the insurance companies to re-
cover loss. The case had been put upon
the February calendar, 1903. 1t was
then discovered that Judge Silverthorn
was stakeholder in the Wausau Tele
phone company and declined to act as
Judge in the case; whereupon, by agree
ment between counsel, the venue was
changed to Wood county, where the
case was recently tried before Judge
Webb, jury having been waived. The
Judge decided that the plaintiffs theory
of the case Yves the correct one and that
the insurance companies We're liable.

A most interesting program was rem
dered at the club house on Monday
afternoon, before the Ladies' Literary
club. The art and literature depart
ment furnished the numbers given,
which were as follows Vocal solo.
Mrs Fred Gilman, which was rendered
IN her usual entertaining manner; then
followed a beautiful soprano solo by
Miss Anna Opdahl, which needs no
other commentator than that it was
sung by this pleasing vocalist; then
Il flowed reading on Homes of
American Authors" by Mrs. j. r..
Briggs, given in place of Mrs. j. w.
Bishop, who was too ill to be present
and last, but not least, violin solo bv

gentleman's playing was a surprise to
all present and both artists were en-
titled to much praise Miss Katherine

EXPERT JUDGES.

The Marathon County Agricultural
society, through IFS secretary, L. Z.
Virgin, has been enabled to secure
four expert judges for exhibits at the
next county fair to be held September
6, I, Sand9.
The horticultural display this year
will be judged by A. j. Phillips, of
West Salem, and it is safe to say that
none better could be occurred without
going out of the states confines. For
years he was on the state horticultural
board and h:s a wide range of exper-
fence. As member of that board he
supervised the establishment of the
state trial orchard on Senator Kreutz-
er's farm, and under his yearly inspec-
ton this orchard has developed into a
fine lot of thrifty bearing trees.
The dairy products will be judged by
Prof. E. H. Harrington. who is at the
head of the state dairy school at Madi-
son. Mr.. Harrington has been here on
several occasions and has acted in a
like capacity before, and the fair man.
agement never had better Judge in
this department than he.
As last year, Prof. w L. Carlyle,
formerly connected with the state agri-
cultural school, now living at Fort Col
Inns, Col, will Judge the live stock.
While MIR. Carlyle was about ready to
leave the state wheL here last fall, he
was prevailed upon at the banquet Civ
zen in his honor to return this year
The journey is long cue, but Mr..
Carlyle has warm heart in his place
for Marathon county people. He is
held in high esteem by stockmen all
over this state, as was evidenced by the
presentation OF a watch to him by visit
ing stockmen at that banquet
Mr.. Carlyle viii be assisted by Jos.
<. Wing, of Mechanicsville, o., cor
respondent of the Breeders Gazette
Mr.. Wing has a reputation known all
over the world as being one of the
greatest living authorities on live stock
Last season he was sent over to Eng
land by his paper and while in the land
of John Bull visited ali the leading
stock shows and took" so well that
the men of titles, outside of King Ed IS
court, shared their corned beef and
cabbage with him, toasted, wined and
dined him. Seriously speaking, it was
a rare bit Of good business and good
luck that he was secured and he will
add great strength to the associations
corps of judges.
