CROWS AND ROCKS.
There Are Many Points of Difference
Between These birds.


Scientifically eorvus Is the generic
title Of the bird fanly which includes
crows, rocks, ravens and jaclldaws.
a mHin distinction between crows
and rocks Is that black and gray crows,
which are found always in pairs, are
migrants, rctrcating southwark with
the advance of winter, while rocks are
grcgarious and remain where they have
been in the habit of nesting. Crows,
too. are carrion eaters, while rocks,
though fond of grubs and worms, will
not touch dead things unless driven to
do SO by hunger.
The most obvious individual points
of difference between the two are the
absence of feathers from the face of
the adult rock, giving it II vulture-IIke
look. to which its characteristics other
wise hardly entitle II, and the fact
that its feathers are of II rich purple
black. almost iridcscent, while the
plumagc of the black crow Is in shad-
ing somewhat like Il badly polished
boot and possesses but little luster.

BUYS COLONIAL MANSION.

The item printed below was clipped
from the Milwaukee Evening Wiscon-
sin of Saturdays date, and will be a
surprise to Mr. and Mrs Edgar's many
friends in this city. Mr. Edgar was
formerly associated with the Jacob
Mortenson Lumber Co. here as manag
er of that concerns interests, and at
the time of the organization of the
Alexander d Edgar Lumber Co., a few
years ago, moved with his family to
Duluth, that he might be nearer the
company's interests at Iron River The
dispatch says
Duluth, Mimi, Jan 29-Charles Ed
gar and family left yesterday for Char
lotteville, Va, where they will make
their home. Mr. Edgar has purchased
one of the most famous of the old colon
ial homes in that state, known as Byrd
wood, : which was built many years ago
by a relative of Thomas jefferson.
The new home of the Edgars at
"Byrdwood" will be modernized to
some extent, but the owners are anxi-
Gus to not destroy the old ideas of
southern comfort and luxury which
were embodied in its construction.

WILL BE BUSY YEAR.

Since the close of the old year 0. C..
Calies has been very busy in making
numerous changes for the good of the
public, and in few weeks will add
several new lines of goods to his stock,
not heretofore carried One of these
will be a household article used by
housewives every day, and which they
will then have an opportunity of buy
ing at lower prices, besides getting a
superior article As formerly, this
store will continue to be the head
quarters for wall papers and paints
Mr.. Callies owrs stock in one of the
largest wall paper manufacturing insti-
tutions of this country, and therefore is
in a position tos get better line of
goods and sell at lower prices than his
competitors. He also has a special
paint for one special purpose, not one
paint for every use, as some of the
smaller concerns palm off on a custom
er. Mr.. Callies has been in this line of
business fifteen years, and truly under
stands it, and his advice is eagerly
sought by the wall paper and paint buy
ing public. Watch Callies' business

WILL NOT MOVE.

1t has been rumored on the streets
quite frequently of late that the divis-
ion headquarters of the st. Paul road
are about to be moved to Wausau.
Some have gone so far as TO say that
the office furniture, etc, were loaded on
a car at Babcock, and have set time
for the removal of the company's prop
erty to Wausau, but so far these stories
have proved untrue and the change is
not likely to be made-not for some
time at least. Superintendent P. G..
Hart denies these rumors and it is hard
to see just why the change should be
made, considering the length of the
Valley division and that Babcock
the present headquarters, is stu
ated at junction of one of the
main divisions of the system. The
change may be made at some time,
which would be pleasant news for Wau-
sau people, but we think not very
soon. The removal of the coal sheds
and water tank TO the lower yard has
Jed some people To believe that the COM
pany contemplated building repair
shops or making some changes that
would benefit this place.

BASKETBALL.

be present, Witnessed one of the finest
exhibitions of basketball, ever played
here, in Castle hall Friday, when the
quintet from the local Y M c. A. de-
feated the crack Stevens Point Normal
team by a score of % to 2l 1t was a
clean, fast game all through; the excite
ment becoming very intense at times,
as first one team, and then the other
forged ahead The Wausau boys were
faster on their feet than the visitors,
their team work showing up to better
advantage. 1t would be hard to pick
out particular star in the Wausau
team; each player contributed his share
to the victory. The team is now out
after the Y NJ c. A state champion
ship to be decided at the state conven-
ton in Oshkosh next March.
In the preliminary the senior second
team easily demonstrated its super
iority over the intermediate team.
The first team will feel the loss of

for Madison. 1t will be hard work to
get another player capable of filling his
position.

MRS. N. P. BEEBE.

The last week several of Wausau and
Marathon county's oldest and esteemed
citizens have passed into the great be-
yond, and soon those who paved the
way for our present splendid civilization
will be no more. IT'S sad to contem-
plate, yet, as it is the way of all human
ity, we can but bow submissively to the
Divine will One of the most familiar
names IN the Wisconsin river valley for
the past half century has been that OF
Beebe. NJ p Beebe came here in a
very early day and up to the time of his
death two years ago wsa prominent in
numbering circles and man greatly
respected. Now his wife, Mrs. Annette
Beebe, has followed him into the
land of shadows Mrs Beebe was
taken sick with pneumonia about Jan.
lst, and since has been very i'll and for
several weeks her life hung in the bal
ance. The death summons came on
Wednesday afternoon, January 9th.
Her son reached home from school the
Saturday previous and was able to be
with his mother before she lapsed into
unconsciousness. Mrs Beebe was
known to all old citizens of the valley
and to nearly everybody in our city,
and that her death has caused great
sorrow goes without the saying.
Mrs. Beebe was born in Lisbon, n.
Y, on the 18th of April, 1913. Her
maiden name was Annette Armstrong
She came to Wisconsin and settled
with her parents at Pine River, Lincoln
county, in 1860 She was united in
marriage to Matthew p Beebe in
March, 1865. A great many years of
their married life was spent in Wausau,
at their home, on Mcclellan street To
them were born five children of whom
only one is living, Ross, who is a stu
dent at Beloit college
She leaves five sisters, Mrs Leander
Swope, Mrs Finley Macdonald,
Misses Margaret, Leila and Blanche
Armstrong one half sister, Mrs. Emily
Gray, of Elkhorn, Wis, and three half
brothers, ) E. Armstrong of Sac City,
Iowa ). S. and W $. of this city She
was greatly beloved by all of her
acquaintance on account of her
GENIAL. happy disposition. She was a
member of the First Presbyterian
church of this city.
The funeral services were held from

Friday afternoon, the Rev S. n.

were S. NJ. Quaw, " b. Scholfeld, Il.

FIRE ORDINANCE DELAYED.

The city attorney and the gentlemen
appointed by the president of the coun-
Gil some weeks ago. as a committee of
investigation to inspect public build
ings, have not as yet drawn up fire
ordinance, and none will be presented
at the meeting of the council tonight,
as was expected The committee ieels
that the matter is one of responsibility
that should not be hurried through
without due consideration ofGpublic de-
mands, and the requirementssthe meas
ure shall provide must not be so radical
as to meet the condemnation of prop
erty holders. Having these ends in
view the chairman has invited the state
factory inspector to confer with the
committee and offer suggestions as to
the provisions of such an ordinance.
1t is therefore not likely that the matter
will come before the council for several
weeks at least In the meantime the
committee members will perhaps gain
some experience from action taken in
other cities, for the movement is gem
eral throughout the larger cities Of the
state and country. The lesson taught
by the Iroquois fire, while a costly one
to human life, has been valuable one.

weather, and the many who were
unable to attend on account of
sickness, there were fully 400 guests
present. The reception hours were
from until 10 clock, and during the
time Cones orchestra rendered num-
Der of concert selections. No small
share of the exquisite charm of the party
was found in the decorations palms,

which tended to make it such.
