The German theatre organization,
which appeared at the opera house
Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings,
is spoken of very highly by those who
attended, but the audiences each night
were not as large as the plays war
ranted
Those in a position to know, state
that there is proportionately much
larger crop of hay being raised among
the farmers of Marathon county this
year than ever before. Very little OF
tbs crop will be sold in the market
The reason they assign for the increase
is that Marathon county farmers are
largely going into the stock raising
business and most of this years hay
crop will not leave the farms. AL
though there was very large crop of
hay last year, this spring there was
little to be bought on the market square,
and what there was hauled in, sold for
as high as $lS per ton. The farmers
needed the hay to feed their stocks.
Saturday morning a woman living
near the ST. Paul depot arose at an
early hour to prepare breakfast for the
family She cooked the meal, called
the other members of the family, who
were sleeping, and went out to the
woodshed to get an armfu OF wood.
When she returned she found that II
tramp had entered the house and was
sitting at the table helping himself to
the victualS. The woman was fright
ened and screamed. The tramp select
ed several biscuits, slice OF beelsteak
and few iapjacks and bolted out of
THE door and disappeared. The num-
Der of hoboes that have appeared lately
make a strong argument for a munich
pal stone pile.
One in passing along the roads in the
towns OF Maine, Stettin, Berlin and
Hamburg at present, notes an air OF
prosperity not apparent III every
ction of the state. All seed crops give
evidence of an abundant yield this fall,
w tn the exception of corn, which un-
fortunately has not had enough warm
weather so far to push its growth.
Along the Merrill road there is upwards
of dozen barns, with stone stable
easements, in process of erection, all
the same style, and about 100xS0 feet in
size. Most the builders of these barns,
we are informed, are farmers who had
wood to sell during the continued cold
spell last winter. This is the incest
time in the year for drive through the
country, the roads are excellent and a
mat of verdure is spread in every direc
ton.
Mayor Zimmerman has vetoed the
ordinance passed at the last meeting of
the council, which provides for an
Increase in the wages OF iiremen and
policemen. He gives three reasons for
so doing First, he doubts the ex
pediency of raising such salaries at this
time second, because when once eStab
lished, the council has no authority to
decrease wages as it might want to do
some time in the future third, because
he doubts the authority of the council
to change salaries at any other time
than at the February meeting. AS the
vote on the ordinance at the time of its
passage was II to with one absent, it
is not at all likely that when it comes
time 70 act on the mayors veto, the
side favoring the measure can muster
the necessary two-thirds vote to pass it
over the veto.

The Saengerfest for 1905 Will be held
in Wausau. 1t was so decided at
Marinette last Sunday. When the local
singing societies left home last Friday
it was intended to speak good word
for Wausau for the meeting OF 1906 but
the 1905 meeting was forced upon them.
Oshkosh was in the field but prior to
the business meeting majority of the
delegates declared their choice to be
Wausau. The Wausau delegation tele-
graphed home for instructions and the
mayor wired back to accept, and when
vote was taken in the meeting Wausau
was selected by large margin. Osh-
kosh had representatives OF two societies
present, and one of them, the Maen-
nechor, notified all delegates present
that that society would be Withdrawn
from the district. The annual meeting
of the singing societies was held in this
nd of hot
time, Notwithstanding rain showers, the
visitors had an excellent time and no
doubt the meeting next year will be
just as pleasant.
A petition is being circulated about
town for signatures, by public spirited
citizens, asking the city council to con-
slider the proposition made about
eighteen months ago by Andrew
| Carnegie, who offered the city S25, 00O
| for public library purposes. The petit
| ton is receiving the signatures OF nearly
every man approached, indeed change
has come over many who were opposed
| to the city accepting the gift, at the time
| of the special election a year ago
Those who voted against accepting the
money, now see the wrong they did,
and are only too anxious to place then
| names on the petluOH. IN uue bilne
the petition will be laid before the
council and though we do not know the
sentiment of the members of tie
present council, we feel that they vii
not ignore the wishes of the majority
of our highly intelligent people. We
/ don't think they will vote the measure
done We expect TO see fine public
library located in our midst within q
years time, one that will be credit te
the city.
