In rapid words Grafton rehearsed
the story Of their great exploits in the

near to the admiral and Grafton as
they dared, to listen to the stirring
tale.

signal officer, when Grafton had

TROUBLE OVER BANANAS.

Friday morning a stranger drove
around the city and with loud voice
announced that he had car of bananas
at the st. Paul depot and was offering
remarkable bargains He did land
Office business, and for several hours
there was steady stream of pur-
chasers coming TO the car. In speak
ing of the same man the Stevens Point
journal of Thursday date says;
"An agent representing the Indepen-
dent Fruit company of Mobile and
New Orleans brought carload of bana-
mas to the city today. Then, with the
aid of megaphone, he advertised on
the street that they would be retailed
from the car on the foot of Main street.
The sale was opened but later, acting
upon instructions received in a similar
ease some time ago, MIR. Pennell, the
local agent, declined to have them sold
direct from the car. Thereupon the
car was locked, the railroad and fru'!
agents both telegraphing TO their re-
spective principals to know what to do.
As the refrigerator car had been open.
ed however, and there was danger OF
loss. the fruit man was finally allowed
to proceed with the sale, pending the
receipt of telegraphic instructions
after selling large number ol
lunches at 81 to 70 cents each, he closed
out the balance to local dealers"

POLES TO SETTLE HERE.

From reliable source we learn that
within the next several months upwards
of 1900 Polish families will be placed
on lands in Marathon, Portage, Lang
lade, Wood, Tayler and Price counties.
This is the result of system of adver-
tisine that has been going on for some
time, a Milwaukee organization known
as the National Polish alliance
having the matter in charge This
organization during several months
past has been distributing thousands of
pamphlets, circulars, etc, relative to
lands in these counties and aided by
real estate dealers resident in the sew
eral counties, men have gone over lands
in the counties named and made a list
of the most desirable pieces adapted for
farming purposes.
The families are not recent immi-
grants, many of them having livedin the
East for several years. Some Of them
are miners who have saved up some
money and want TO live under more
favorable circumstances. They have
sufficient money to buy farms and pay
their fare, so that the alliance will not
be at any expense.
A committee has been appointed to
confer with real estate men and secure
as favorable terms for the settlers as pos
sible. There are thousands of acres
available for farming purposes in the
counties named above. Each county is
in need of settlers and the Polish families
ought to be desirable acquisitions to the
counties population for they are invar-
iably thrifty class.

LOTS OF TIMBER LEFT.

II am sometimes amused at the vari-
Gus reports one hears about the supply
of pine being exhausted in Wisconsin. .
declared George Langley, of Merrill
one of the biggest lumbermen in the
state, vest r lay, at the Plankinton.
Zone hears SO much about the pine be-
ing all gone that the general public is
commencing to believe these stories.
Do you know that most conservative
estimates place the amount of pine
timber tributary to the Milwaukee road
through the northern part of the state
at eight hundred million feet Others
assert that over oae billion feet of pine
remains to be cut in that territory. Of
course when this amount, enormous as
it is, is compared with the original pine
it sinks into insignificance, but it
shows that there is still considerable
pine timber left Milwaukee Sentinel.

FRED SCHULZ, CRACK HURDLER,
DISCOVERS A GOLD PLACER.

Fred w. Schulz. the prominent hur-
dler of both the universities of Wiscon-
sin and Michigan, and who has been
brought before the eyes of athletic
realm by his wonderful performances
over the sticks, has arrived in the CITY,
after travelling from Salt Lake City, to
complete his training for the Olympic
games. in which he will carry the colors
of the Milwaukee Athletic club Mr.
Schule has been one of the leading fac
tors in all of the conference and dual
college meets for the last four years,
and last year added his most distinctive
laurel to his collection, in the Universi-
ty of Pennsylvania games, held at
Philadelphia last spring, when he cap
ured the high hurdle event
Schulz was graduated from the
University of Michigan last June, re-
ceiving his degee in a special course in
mineralogy and chemistry. Immedi-
ately after finishing his schooling ne
received a position as assayer with the
CNhCloOu D lhihS SOlliPahJ az kodlO LdhO
City. He had no sooner than gone out
to his new field of work when he dis
covered a placer mine on his firms
property, in the Sahsatch mountain,
which is capable of producing gold ore
which is valued at $l6 per ton. Con-
sidering the fact that. placer mines in
Alaska ere paying good dividends when
they produce gold at So and S5 per ton,
the discovery is of no mean value to
the company.
1T is one of the first placer mines in
that section of the country and is
thing that no one ever looked for"
said Mr. Schulz yesterday. The com
pany was basing its work on practical
experience without paying any atten-
ton to theoretical. There were many
miners who could tell that rock con-
tanned copper, if it had greenish tint,
but that was the extent of their knowl-
edge in mineralogy. We expect to

NEW STOCK BARN.

Az meeting of the directors of the
Marathon Couaty Agricultural society
held last Tuesday evening the question
of making provision for the caring of
the extra large number If live stock
thai will he brought to the fair this fall
was taken mp and discussed. When
new stock barns were built last SIMMER
it was thought that ample provision had
been made for taking carr. of all cattle
tlat might be entered at the fair each
year for years to come, bul the directors
were mistaken. This year the extra
efforts on the part of Secy L. X Wright
to get good live stock exhibit has re-
suited in an unexpected large addition
al list of entrIes--more than the barns
and Osheds would accommodate-ar d
soft was necessary to arrange some plan
to meet the difficulty The matter was
thoroughly discussed and while nearly
all the directors would like to discon-
tinue further building for the present,
it was apparent TO them that there was
only one way t. solve the above prob
lem and that was to build. 1t was
therefore decided to erect another
stock barn at once and a crew of men
has been engaged the past week on the
building, which will be completed be-
fore fair is held. The shed, which
will be 34x96 feet in dimensions, will
be located near the other stock barns.
1t will be so arranged that either horses
or cattle can be placed in it and will be
provided with a sufficient number of
stalls so that great many animals can
be taken care Of
There will without doubt be the
largest and finest display of cattle at
the Marathon county fair this year ever
seen at a county fair in Wisconsin.
Stock raisers all over this central and
northern section are yearly becoming
more interested in our fair, and this
year it is expected that a great many
strangers will come here attracted by
the stock exhibit alone

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Physical Director Murray has returned
from his home in the province of
Ontario. which will be pleasing news
10 the boys, and athletics will begin with
renewed vigor in n few weeks time.
On Saturday, Sept. 4th. Rev. MatWing
of Elkader, Ia, will address the mems
class in the building at 400 o'clock. In
the evening number of the churches
will unite and the congregations meetin
the Presbyterian church and listen to an
address on the subject, "Fhe Plan of
the Ages" or "Vital Energy and its
Uses in the Embodiment of Manhood"
During the. first week in October
classes in education and gymnastics
will resume their work. The boys have
had rest of several weeks, and it is
expected that all win enter into the
work with more active spirit.
Certain difficulties that have arisen
with the lyceum bureau, of which enter
tainments were engaged for next
winters course, may materially change
present plans. When the entertainments
were engaged it was with the under
standing that they could be secured on
certain dates. Now the bureau desires
10 change those dates. As it may be
impossible to secure the opera house
when wanted it may be that new
course will have to be arranged.
As the summer advances the swim
ming class is growing less in numerical
strength Ever since the boys went
camping in July, Secretary Campbell
has taken the boys out to Rib river each
afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday and allowed them natatorium
exercise under his care and guidance.

BETTER TRAIN SERVICE.

While the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Co gives Wausaua good many
trains each day the fact remains that
they are run so that person living
any where on the line cannot come in
to our city and do any business and re-
turn 10 his home the same day. The
Wpu an Merchants association has
been at work for the past year trying
to change the order If things and there
is now very good pruspect Of their
efforts being crowned with success.
There have been letters flying between
the committee of the Merchants asso
citation and the ollirials of the road
until the latter thought the best way
out of t~as to send up Mr.. Hartley,
division superintendent of the Ashland
division, which it did on Tuesday, and
the matter was talked over very thor
oughly and it is pretty well understood
that in the near future there will be a
train coming in here from the south at
: o'clock A. NJ. and another going out
at O'clock r. NJ Ii is the intention of
the road To have a sleeper attached to
the latter train 50 that Chicago can be
reached at : O'Clock A NJ, or two hours
and half earlier than the sleeper from
Wausau reaches that city now. 1t
is also desired that when the cnange is
made, arrangements will also be per-
fected whereby Il train will leave here
for Marshfield at an early hour so that
ample time will be given to transact
business at any of the towns on the
line and return made the same day.
This will be good news to our business
men, and the change cannot be made
too soon to please them

On Monday evening, Sept. 5tF, when
Frederick Warde and Kathryn kdder
will appear in the new spectacular
drama ''Salammbo" history will roll
back its curtains to some three hundred
years before @the Christian era The
stirring times of the Punic wars will be
revived and the emotions which swayed
the destinies of the ancient but proud
republic OF Carthage will be illustrated.
The glory ef the ancient East, the
hate and fear of war, the implacable
vengeance of the Pagan Gods, the
passions and lusts of the flesh--these
are the warp and woof which the
author, Mr. STANCE, has woven into his
latest and most successful play
'Salammbo," the best romantic tragedy
it is said. since 'I'Aiglonn came from
the pen of Sardou
Brute but eloquent passion and fero-
cious daring, opposed to classic beauty,
ravishing display against a background
of barbaric splendor with the big
emotions of the soul, boldly handled,
suggests an ideal atmosphere for the
respective personalities of Mr. Warde
and Miss Kidder, afd it is not surpris-
ing therefore that their tour has thus
far proved financial and popular
triumph. The names of Wagenhals and
kemper, who are sponsors of the enter
prise ensure the confidence of the nlav-
going public, and the claim that the
production challenges comparison with
Ben Hur.p Cleopatra" and other
equally famous spectacles is therefore
easily credited. Prices, $500, 81 80,
