IN DESIGNING garments for

to be observed. The design
must be consistent with the ac-

serve to curtail the child's
freedom. Our design is made
with simple skirt with hem
or tucks, at the bottom and full

taineerS had nothing more formidable
than the bolo which is merely a sharp
ened corn knife The bolo can only
be use at short range. hence the at
lacking party had not the slightest
chance of success, yet its members
one after another clambered up the
sides of the stockade to certain death.
Finally when only six were left they
deliberately retired to an open place
within easy range of the guns of the
stockade and danced until they were
shot to death. This shows what kind
of stuff Jakey Smith had to go against
when he started in to make a bowling
wilderness of Samar.
1t is a notable fact that when a clash
occurs between the Consta bulary and
the outlaws, the native press raises
a great hullabaloo about it, endeavor-
ing to create the impression that the
Constabulary is composed of q lot
of marauders who loot and butcher
simply for the pleasure of gratifying
their depraved instincts. 1t is no.
ticeabIe, too. that these agitators do
not pronounce against the cause which
made it necessary to use force, but
center their whole argument in de-
nunication of the soldiery. In all in
stances where pitched battles have oc-
CURED the ladrones have first been
guilty of atrocities so terrible as to
make their destruction an imperative
necessity.

rather the semi-civilized agitator who

understood by the officials
here that the 'shoe hombre" oman
who wears shoes is the real instiga-
tor of the trouble. Sometimes the

the inhabitants that if they give food

cupied by the fanatical Moros, will
keep the regular troops busy for some
years to come, while Samar, located
in the east central part of the group,
has just been partially turned over to
the military, the native forces being
unequal to the task of pacifying it.
Samar is an island about the size
of Connecticut. 1t is mountainous and
has no roads. 1t will best be remem-
bered as the place that Jakey Smith
tried to convert into a bowling wilder
ness, and it may be added that since
he was recalled and reprimanded the
bandits have made a good job of what
he attempted. The population of Sa-
mar consists of two classes, namely
the coast jewellers, who engage in the
hemp business and who would be
peaceful if they had the opportunity;

The report that a tax collector or
detachment of Consta bulary is headed
that way is all that is necessary to
cause the complete evacuation of a
village in a few hours. AS a result
of the atrocities committed by the la
drones and the arrests of the Constab-
ulary, the men, women and children OF
the east coast have encamped in the
mountains.

HAD VENISON.

John Chiber, a resident of the town
of Texas, was arrested Wednesday and
on next Saturday will have hearing
on the charge of having venison in his
possession out of season. Complaint
was made to Deputy Game Warden K.
7. Hougen. of Marathon City, that
Chiber had violated the game laws and
he searched the latter's premises and
succeeded in finding four hams, two of
which were being cured in a smoke
house. Chiber claimed that while 60
ing through the woods near his place
he ran across the carcas of deer,
which had been shot He carried the
carcas home, but as part of the meat
had commenced to get putrid, he
buried some of it but saved the two
fresh hams which were found by the
game warden. The two hams in the
smoke house, he claimed, were from the
carcas of calf he had purchased of a
neighbor. At his preliminary examina-
tion he pleaded not guilty to the charge,
and to give him time to procure wit
nesses, by whom to substantiate his
claims, the time of hearing was set on
the above date Chiber may not be
guilty of the offense charged, but it is
certain that some violators of the game
laws live in his section, for numerous
complaints have come from that town.

UNDER HEAVY BONDS.

Leopold Singhofer, farmer residing
in the town of Kronenwetter, was ar
rested Wednesday evening and brought
to this city and locked up. The com
plainant is his daughter, Lydia, aged
sixteen, who charges the crimes of
incest and Grim NAL assault. The in
formation states that the first offense
was committed IL October, 1900, when
she was twelve years of age and the
last offense on May 21st of the present
year. Singhofer is a man about fifty
years of age and his reputation prior to
his arrest has not been of the best, ac-
cording to all accounts. He has threat
ened his family on numerous occasions
and the members were in great fear of
him. When he saw the sheriff coming
he hid himself but was found and
placed under arrest.
He had his preliminary hearing
Thursday morning and that the state
might have time to collect testimony
his examination was set for next Sat
urday. The district attorney asked
that the bond be male sufficiently large
to keep him in jail, for if released the
man might go home and do violence to
his family. The bond was fixed at
s., 900 and Singhofer no doubt will re-
main in Jail until trial. He no doubt is
booked for good long term in the
states prison, and if the charges
against him are true he ought to be
kept from the society of other people
the balance of his life.

EXHIBITION.

Al the high school building, last Fri
day afternoon and evening. an exhibition
of the drawing and manual training
work of the city schools was open for
public inspection. The gymnasium
was reserved for the manual training
work and the first floor for the drawing.
Any scholar who succeeded in getting
drawing or piece of furniture in
this display has reason to be proud, for
only the best were on exhibition The
drawing work was arranged as follows:
All the first grade work from the differ
ent buildings, in one room, ETC., so the
work of the same grades in different
buildings could be compared The
Columbia, fifth grade, work deserves
special mention, for its neat and at
tractive appearance. As whole the
drawings were fine and should have
been inspected by every parent in the
city.
In the gymnasium combination racks,
desks, writing desks, chairs, picture
frames, etc, were arranged so as to
show the work done by the boys in the
manual training departments of the
high and Lincoln schools under the
supervision of Mr.. Hamrick and Mr.
johnson, respectively. A very beauti-
full table made by Walter Strouse was
the most skillful piece of work in the
display while the following pieces were
full worthy of praise: A table made by
James Ryan; another which August
Kickbush put together; hall tree built
by Karl Kratz; clocks by Owen Means
and Earl Lake; pedestal, very neatly
made, by Frank McEarchron, and an
old colonial seat built by Freddie
Levenhagen. Some very clever, burnt
and turned work was shown which
added greatly to the very complete dis
play.

LIKE FEEDING A FURNACE

One of the most interesting sights that
the people who visited the show
grounds Saturday witnessed, was the
feeding of the hippopotamus. This
large animal is undoubtedly one of the
most peculiar as well as interestino
features of a circus and requires a great
deal of attention and care in order TO
keep it alive. The hippopotamus is
confined in large tank with platform
at one end and when meal time arrives
he places his front feet on the edge of
the tank and opens his mouth to receive
the food which consists of mush made
of bran, meat, milk and some other
necessarieS. The keeper who has charge
of the animal places the mush in large
tubs and when the animal opens his
mouth to receive the food the keeper
shovels it down his throat with shovel,
similar to the way a person would
shovel coal into furnace.

THE JUVENILE CONCERT.

Wausau, progressive in most things,
bids fair to rival much larger cities in
music. We have all listened, entranced,
to the exquisite strains of our great
violinist, Prof. Reuter-. Many of us
have heard classical music excellently
rendered by our cultured amateurs,
both male and female. Upon occasions,
the organists and choirs of our churches
have given us sacred music of high
order. And now, the children have
come to the front to show us what they
can do, all by their little selves And
the little Misses who planned and pre-
pared the musical entertainment of
Friday night last, certainly have done
credit to their teachers and to them
selves. 1t is said that comparisons are
odious, and where all acquitted them
selves so finely, it seems invidious to
particularize. But in passing, one can
hardly avoid mentioning the sweet lit
tie vocalist, Cornelia McCrossen, who
gave two numbers so beautifully. Three
cheers for musical Wausau And three
times three for the young musicians of
the city. AN UNOFFICIAL REPORTER.

the court house square where brief SER
vices were held. Mounted on plat
form Atty. f. p Regner made splen-

deepest attention throughout. A quar-
tette composed of Messrs f. M. James,
Gustav Boehm, A. " Gearhart and K.
James sang several songs. The mem
bers of Carl Ii. Mueller Camp of Sons
of Veterans then placed flowers on the
soldiers monument and the line OF

AT the cemetery the services were
about the same as in former years. The
q. A. r. ritual service was the first in
order, the quartette rendered several
selections, the band played several
pieces and the flower girls, in charge of
a committee of Post members, strewed
flowers on the graves of deceased sol
diers. Rev. w. o. Carrier, president of
Carroll college, Waukesha, who came
here for the occasion, delivered the ad-
dress of the day and lack OF space for
bids giving detailed account of it. 1t
was not the old timeworn Memorial
day oration that has become tiresome,
but in comparison with such was like a
breath of fresh air waited DER an ap-
preciative assemblage.
All of the manufacturers observed
the day by closing their factories, and
the stores were closed the greater part
of the day.

WILL HOLD PICNIC.

At another meeting of fraternal
society representatives held Friday
evening in the court house it was de-
cided to hold a picnic on July Fourth.
As little interes. has been manifested
thus far in the enterprise a committee
of five was appointed to visit lodges
that have not so far been represented,
on their next meeting nights and bring
the matter before them. This lack of
interest it is thought is due more to
neglect than to an unpatriotic spirit.
A committee of one was also appointed
to attend the council meeting at its
session this evening and ask for dona-
ton to help pay expenses. Another
meeting will be held at the court house
on Friday evening June 9th, at which
it is hoped every society in the city will
will in all likelihood be appointed at
that meeting to solicit funds and on the
amount of funds secured will depend
the magnitude of the days program.
The sentiment appears to be to assess
each society 10c per member. This
will not be collected from the members
Individually, but it is to be taken out of
the treasury of each society and then
only to be collected in case of a short
age. In case of running behind each
society would be assessed its pro rata
share. 1t will simply be a guarantee
fund. If enough money can be collect
ed a band will be engaged and the
societies will form in the morning and
parade to the fair grounds, where good
speakers will make addresses and there
will be such varied program as to
make it interesting for all who attend
Unless the fraternal societies get up a
picnic for the Fourth there will be no
public celebration of any kind and
Wausau will be dead while all the sur
rounding towns are making Rome
howl. 1t is believed that the meeting
of next Friday will be an enthusiastic
one which will be well attended. Every
society is invited to send representa-
tive and to participate in the picnic.

NO MORE GOAT.

Local members of the Modern Wood
men order will be interested in know
ing that a recommendation will be
made this year before the Head Camp
that the ritual of the order be so
thoroughly safe-guarded that no por-
ton or passage of it can be construed
to warrant the use of any camp goat or
other dangerous appliances" The
supporters of this recommendation
argue that the horse play detracts from
the dignity of the order, which is now
so large and influential, that such
practices cannot be permitted The
society also has had several damage
suits to contend with through the IN
itiatiOn ceremonies.
