JULY FOURTH.

Yesterday was the 12Sth anniversary
of our independence from Great Britain
the cutting off of King Georges SOW
ereignty in America day usually eel
ebrated with great noise, the explosion
of fire crackers, display of fireworks,
and the killing of numerous small boys
by the deadly lockjaw producing cap
pistol In Wausau there was hardly
any celebration to speak of. A few
hundred pounds of powder were burned
up, and few picpics were held, but
otherwise there was nothing happened
that would set the world on fire. While
everyone was filed with the spirit of the
day, no one-that is no one that came
to the notice of the police department
was filed up with liquid spirits, as is
common on the Fourth, and the
coolers" quietude was only disturbed
by the rats that cavoot over its floors.
ST. Michaels church congregation
held a picnic at the fair grounds dur
ing the day, there being games, races,
music, etc., for the amusement of those
present, and in the evening dance at
MERGERS hall ended the days celebra-
ton.
The concert in the afternoon and
dance and fireworks at Columbia park
in the evening drew out very large
crowds of people, and were highly en-
joyed by all who attended. The display
of fireworks by manager Schochow was
about the finest thing in that line ever
seen in the city, and the cost was war
ranted by the enjoyment got out of it.
West Side Camp, No. 1Ol42, NJ. w. A.,
gave dance at the societys hall in the
evening, which was largely attended
and which proved a success in every
way.
Northern Star Hive, No. 2, L. o. T.
M, gave very pleasant dance to its
friends at Castle hall, which was highly
successful from every point of view
Numerous hayride parties were organ
lied and the participants driven out to
shady and inviting spots in the sur
rounding forests.
A great many families held basket
picnics in the shade of the fair grounds
and near by woods.
The railroad men living in the city
got rest, nearly all freights on both
roads being tied up
The Wausau base ball team played
games at Marshfield Sunday afternoon
and during the forenoon of the Fourth.
A number went over from here, drawn
there mostly by the big celebration
planned by the citizens of that town.

NEW RULES.

Co. G. has received orders from the
adjutant general to go into camp at
Camp Douglas Saturday, July 23d, and
Capt. Abraham has been notified not to
admit any more recruits to the ranks
of his company until after encampment.
There will be several new features
introduced in the dress of the men and
in the maneuvers this year. For the
first time the companies will appear in
field uniforms consisting of khaki
trousers and blouse and chambre shirts
when drilling in the field, instead of
the old tight fitting blue suits, known
as fatigue uniforms. These suits are
fer hot weather service and the cold
weather uniforms have not yet been
issued. They, to, will be differentthan
the old ones and will consist of an olive
drab coat and pants, as well as over
coat. The summer khaki coats have a
big advantage over the old blouses in
that they are furnished with four large
pockets, while the old ones are tight
fitting and have no outside pockets.
A Ghlnge will also be made from last
gear in the manner of paying the men
Cor service rendered at camp, and the
Old custom of paying the men in camp
win be resumed. Last year they were
paid by checks upon their return to
their home station. but this plan
evidently proved unsatisfactory.
During encampment each company is
given problem furnished by the adj
jutant generals Office to execute and at
its completion it is criticised and the
defects pointed out by an experienced
officer, generally from the regular army.
At the encampment maneuver
known as ''hasty entrenchment,n which
has not been practiccd by the Wiscon-
sin state troops for several years viii be
introduced When the order is given for
this problem the companies will pack
their accoutrements, including tents
and everything else necessary. and will
march to some distant part of the camp
grounds, where they will pitch camp
quickly, but in the same manner as
though it were to be permanent, and
will then entreneh themselves on all
sites as rapidly but as strongly as posi-
BILE.
The Wisconsin state guards consist of
three regiments of twelve companies
each, one battalion of four companies,
one troop and and one battery. The
plans are arranged so that but one
regiment viii be at camp at one time
and the number of days for each has
been cut from eight to seven. The
Second regiment viii arrive there on
July 9th, the First on July 10, and the
Third on July ..

A CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
Epidemic Of Murder Mania is Preva-
= lent in Mississippi.

Epidemic Of Murder Mania is Preva-
lent in Mississippi.
A special from Jackson Miss, says:
The murder mania did not manifest
itself quite so strongly in Mississippi
during the past week. as compared
with similar periods since the first OF
the year. Only seven killings were
reported during the week, not in
cluding five or six shooting affairs,
which did not have fatal results. THIS
is an exceedingly poor showing, as
compared with some weeks in which
from fifteen to twenty killings were
reported.
Yazoo county is again coming to
the front with carnival of crime.
Ten days ago the jail of that county
was vacant, the circuit court session
having disposed Of all the prisoners
on hand, but within the past few
days four persons charged with mur-
der and several charged with assault
with intent to kill have been lande,l
behind the bars
From all parts of the state comes
complaints Of county jails filled to
overhowing, awaiting the circuit court
sessions, and in some counties it has
been necessary to release minor fel.
ons on their own recognizance in or.
der TO make room for prisoners charg-
ed with cap tai offenses.
Pike county added the eleventh
murder to its list for period of five
months when a negro named Drum
Brumfeld killed another negro in that
county with shovel one day last
week. The epidemic of crime has
spread to such an alarming extent
that its proportions cannot be con-
cealed. The majority of the murder;
have been among the negroes. A rec
ord of over $50 murders within three
months Is what has been ccomplish-
ed in the state.

The dissolution of the Panama Ca

Of the property to this country is con-
cerned, probably will take place in the
latter part of April. The payment of
the $4o,0oo,OG0 to the company will
be made about that time. It is not
likely that the payment of the s1O,.
