premium where the booths and fun
creating attractions were. All present
seemed thoroughly to ENJOY themselves.
especially those who took part in and
witnessed the apple bobbing. Young
and old alike attempted this feat,
with more or less success, to the great
amusement of the spectators.
The decorations wire profuse and
attractive and suggestive Of Halloween
and the time of the year. Large jack
o'.lanterns were ranged in long
row on each side of the hall aud
numerous little JACKIE lanterns, made
of gourds and tiny candles, were
strung over the booths FestoUns Of
yaIiegated leaves, mistleteo, golden rod,
constalks, etc, in every convenient
place and at ractively arranged, COM

ASKS $4,000.

A dispatch from Washington, d. c.,
OIL Wednesday stated that Congress
man Webster E. Brown had that day
introduced bill in congress providing
for an appropriation of $780, 600 for en-
larging and making additions to the
Wausau federal building. What action
will be taken regarding it of course
cannot be foretold at this time, but it
is probable that it will go in with a
batch of similar bills and be passed up
on by a committee, as was done at the
time the original appropriation was
secured for the local building. At
that time the amount incorporated in
Mr.. Browns bill was cut down by the
committee, though later he was success
full in getting an increase. 1t is there
fore well that he asked for enough in
the bill now pending. tor it is thought
by men competent to judge, that S20, 900
will be sufficient to erect a second story
to the Wausau building, in keeping
with the first floor, and the amount
asked tor is sufficiently large to allow
the committee to do some shaving.
1t might be week, it might be months
before the fate of bill is definitely set
tied, but Wausau citizens in general
are hopeful of an early and favorable
action, that plans can be drawn, bids
submitted and the work gotten under
way early next season.

ASSISTED THE POOR.

AT meeting held at the Y nj. G. A.
building last Tuesday afternoon. Neal
Brown, Neil Campbell and B. HI. Conlin
were appointed committee to arrange
for providing the poor of the city with
few luxuries for Christmas. Some
weeks previous, fund was started by
sympathetic citizens, who generously
donated cash and were successful in
getting a number of merchants to give
merchandise until the total amount
subscribed exceeded 800. The COM
mittee met Friday at the Y NJ G. A.
building and with the Misses Abbie
Hart and Ethel Dickens, Robt. Flaherty
and l.. Clark were busy nearly all day
in packing baskets of Christmas pur-
chases, which were turned over to
Frank Schneider, superintendent of
poor, for distribution. The committee,
before it proceeded, called upon the
pastors of all churches of the city for
the purpose of getting list of members
of the congregations worthy of dona
tions. Among these the committee
secured a great many names. but some
pastors stated that their church had no
poor members. With the money and
merchandise donated, the committee
was able to supply every poor family
in the city with something to help
bring Christmas cheer. Mr.. Schneider
delivered the baskets on Saturday

FORMER WAUSAU PEOPLE HURT,

From the Hillyard (Wash.) Spokes-
man-Review, of Sunday, Dec. 18th, we
learn that GAS result of grade cross
ing accident Miss May Burns of Hill
yard was severely injured and score
of people were bruised and cut by a
collision yesterday afternoon about $50
between a Great Northern switch engine
No. 527 and Washington Water Power
company northbound Hillyard car on
the crossing at Hamilton street. The
streetcar had nearly 100 people on
board, and that terrible catastrophe
did not happen seems little short of a
miracle.
miss Burns was struck on the head
and remained unconscious and
semi-conscious for hours. There were
bad cuts over eye and evidence of con-
cussion of the brain. How serious her
injury will prove could not be told by
the doctors last night
Miss Burns is the daughter of James
Burns, formerly of Wausau. Miss
Eloise Ranslate, niece of Phil and j.
0. Hollis, was also injured in the col
lision.

WINTER SPORTS.

There appears to be a revival all over
the country of two winter sports, which
IN recent years have died out-roller
skating and ski exercise-both health
ful passtimes. In nearly every town in
the state, roller Kinks are being started
and their owners are meeting with lib
eral patronage. We learn that one is
soon to be opened in Columbia hail.
this city
Wausau people, up to the apresent
have never taken a fancy to skis and
many people do not know them by that
name. A ski is the snow shoe used in
the Scandinavian countries of Europe
and Scandinavian settlements in this
country. 1t is wide runner, thin and
light, about three inches wide, six feet
long and pointed and turned up at the
front end, to allow it to slide easily
over the snow. A strap stirrup is
| placed across the middle, through
which the person using them puts his
foot. They are great things to slide
down hill with, and it requires consid-
cradle practice and dexterity to handle
them, without one falling and his mo-
mentum carrying him head foremost
through snow bank 1t is in these
mishaps that the fun comes into the
locker on. Anyone who has ever had
the experience, knows how extremely
pleasant It is to make an arrow of ones
self, shooting into snow bank and get
up and seek a secretive place and ex-
tract bushel of snow from the slack
part of ones divided garment The
writer has had some experience and
offers this advice to new beginners !:
Before starting down hill on skis wind
shoe lace tightly around your collar
and buckle belt tightly around the
waist band of your overalls.
The Scandinavians are the most dex-
ferrous people with skis, for that race of
people has used them for centuries. A
| Norwegian at Hancock, Mich, where
tournaments are held annually, holds
the worlds record for long jump, his.
record being over 100 feet, and it is saio
a Merrill man is good for 70 feet. Re-
Gently several dealers in Wausau have
| placed skis on the market and they find
great demand for them. The purchas-
ers go to near by hills for practice and
| it is said the formation of several ski
clubs are in an embryotic state. 1t is
good healthful exercise and will meet
with popular favor.
Another once popular winter sport
has not been revived-tobogganing. 1t
! was from its infancy doomed to meet
an early death because itswas too ex-
pensive luxury. One got on the to-
! boggan and started-there was whirr
a lightning-like ride down an icy in
cline, walk of half a mile up the hill
and your nickel gone. A good healthy
tobogganist could spend as much money
in an evening at that game as he could
at roulette wheel A toboggan slide
was conducted one season in Wausau
and then it was "done' for.

GREAT EXClT EMENT.

The following, taken from the Colby
items, in the Unity Register, tells how a
Colbyite views the recent bank robbery
Great excitement prevailed in Colby
last Saturday afternoon after the bank
robbery, the details of which have be-
come thoroughly known to all. The
robbers showed considerable skill in
planning and executing the hold-up but
in getting away acted like school boys.
The officer who arrested them at Edgar,
Constable Martin Keefe, usually weighs
about $50 pounds; but since the arrest
weighs over 900. Nearly all the inhabi-
tants of Colby were on the trail of the
robbers soon after the hold-up If the
plunder which the robbers took had
fallen into the clutches of some of the
brave worthless who started armed with
Winchesters and meat carvers, the bank
officials would have been very unlikely
to have ever seen the same again.
Zone of the robbers claimed he stole
the money to aid him in getting a
divorce from his wife.
If the judge before whom they have
their trial is a married man he
ought to knock off about three years
from this mans sentence"

&. A. Nutter, city engineer, ana DR..
d. Sauerhering, city health officer, spent
part of last week in West Superior for
the purpose of making an inspection of
that city's water system, with view of
getting information of benefit to the
citizens of Wausau, in overcoming the
difficulty with our water supply 1t
appears that some years ago West
Superior was confronted with the same
problem now before Wausau people, as
regards the water system. The council
secured experts and acting upon the
advice of one of these an aerating pipe
was built and the water allowed to flow
into a filtering tank before being
pumped into the mains 1t is claimed
that the aerating process changes the
oxide of iron into a solid mass so that
the filter catches and removes it from
the water. The process, it is claimed, is
an expensive one but effective The
water mains have been cleared OF
fungus growth, it is said, and rendered
the water fit to drink. 1t is oxide OF
iron, it is said, that is filing the Wau-
sau mains and causes the disagree able
foul smelling, bad tasting water.

A firm in Rhinelander has asked the
city council for franchise giving it
the privilege to lay pipes along the
streets and into buildings, for heating
purposes. The pipes are to be con-
nected with a central heating plant,
which will furnish heat for all those
who want heat and are willing to pay
for it 1t is said this plan has been
tried in other cities and works with
great success. To the man who must
buy fuel it is money saver, and to the
operator Of the plant it is a money
maker, for he can heat several business
places at no more cost than would be
required TO heat one.

SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

Locll dealers are this season receiving
better grade of oysters than have been
sold on the market for years For the
first time in years the shipments come
from New England and most of the
supply is from the oyster beds near
New Haven and Long Island. 1t is
said that the Baltimore oyster is not up
to the standard this year. The oysters
handled by Wausau dealers, which are
sold as Standards this winter are equal
in size to ones usually sold as Selects
and there is alsoan improvement in
flavor.
The Marathon County bank has
issued and given out to its friends and
customers, its annual vest pocket
edition of valuable information. 1t is
the most complete little book of its
kind ever compiled. 1t contains calen-
darS of 1906 and 1907; for Identification
it has list of things to put down that
will prove valuable to the owner in many
ways and save him good deal of
trouble, perhaps during the year. 1t
has complete diary, vast amount
of useful information, a cash account
for each month of the year, map of the
United States, etc.
Liverymen in Wausau have been pre-
pairing for winter for some time, by
getting out their hack runners and cut
ters from storage rooms, re-painting
them, ETC., but so far this season there
has been little or no use for either. The
extreme cold weather of the past two
winters was not very good for the liv-
cry business, but liverymen are in hopes
that the coming winter will be mild
and people will take" more to sleigh
rides. 1t appears that the custom of
fastening bells to horses or to the thills
of cutters in winter, is becoming OBJ
solete, and farmers are about the only
ones now using sleigh bells.
For the first time in several years
there was a good supply of turkeys in
Wausau meat markets during the week
preceding Christmas and prices were
lower than for several years. Usually
Thanksgiving dinners exhaust the sup
ply, but this year some of the local meat
dealers did not dispose of all their
stock of birds prior to Nov. Both.
There was also a plentiful supply of
geese and chickens, but the number of
ducks was limited Most of the ducks
sold in local shops during the holidays
come from the country around Marion
and Clintonville but there was search
ty this season in that section.
