PROGRESSIVE DINNER PARTY.

Last evening Halloween progress
sive dinner party was given by seven of
our young ladies', to an equal number
of young men. The young ladies were:
TheeMisses Hermione Silverthorn, Nell
and Margaret Dunbar, Sadie Reed, Nina
Kickbusch, Dorothy Heinemann and
Della Thayer. The young men: j. A.
McCrossen, Donald Murray, Neuman
Bells, Geo. Smith, Ed. Belize, Clyde
Osen and Amos Hall. The first course
was served by Miss Silverthorn at her
home on Grand Ave. the second course
by the Misses Dunbar and Miss Heine-
mann at the home of the former; the
third at the home of Miss Nina Kick
busch and the fourth by the Misses
,Ihayer and Reed at the home of the
former. The various homes were very
prettily decorated for the occasion; in
some, beautiful flowers greeted the eye,
while perhaps the dining room would
be arranged in "spookey" effects In
others, guests were taken into dimly
lighted rooms, where everything was
suggestive of disembodied spirits, look
ing for the fairies, witches and elves
with whom to walk about and make
the night hideous. At the home where
the last course of the progressive din
ner was served, each gentleman drew
card on which was the name of one of
the young ladies whom he was to escort
to the Wausau Club house, and where
all repaired and danced until nearly
midnight 1t proved most delightful
ana entertaining evening to all.

CONTRACT LET FOR THE FREE
PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The contract for building the Free
Public Library for Wausau has finally
| been let to Krause q Miller for S24, 600.
| The bids were opened last week, Mon
| day, and the Wausau Construction Co.
of this city, was found to be the lowest
bidder, its price being S23, 4S0 As the
building as to be of Bedford stone and
the specifications specify that the firm
| furnishing shall also lay the same, the
architect, q. w. Maher, was anxious to
have the stone come from a house
which he knew would be all right, and
after some talk with the firm that had
put IN the lowest bid, he concluded to
specify the names of the firms which he
would accept for furnishing the stone,
this he did, amending the specifications
TO the extent of naming two Chicago
stone firms. The Wausau Construction
20. refused to accept the amendment,
be ause 1t could get the stone called
for, for about 81 600 less than it would
be furnished by either of the Chicago
hrms named, but would accept pro-
Ylded ST 200 was added to its bid, which
would bring the amount up to S24, $780,
As this was higher than the next lowest
bid, which was that of Miller d Krause,
the building committee, composed of
III G. Flieth, Mrs. ID. l.. Plumer and
Chas. Il. Turner, consulted that firm
and it agreed to carry out the specihca-
tons as amended, and also reduced its
bid from $24 ,210 to even 1924, 600, and
the contract was consequently awarded
to Miller q Krause. Hett Bros. having
submitted the lowest bids for the heat
ing and plumbing, will no doubt be
given the contract.

for Inspection of the Public
This evening, between the hours OF
7:3O and 900 O'Clock, Wausau's new
post Office building will be thrown open
for inspection of those who have not al
ready had view of its interior. The
furniture arrived last Saturday and the
equipment is now complete. One of
the features shown this evening will be
new stamping machine in operation.
The new machine is a great improve
ment over the old one at present in use
in the fact that is operated by electric
motor instead of by hand.
After the hour of nine force will be
set to work and move all the mail,
books and paraphernalia from the old
post Office into the new building, and
tomorrow morning everything will be
in readiness for business in the new
building.
After efforts made during the past
dozen or more years, Wausau at last
has public building of government
ownership. 1t is not all that might be
desired, or all that was expected of the
money appropriated for building pur-
poses, but it is permanent home for
the post office and substantial build
ing so far as it goes

Some seasonanle advice

1t may be a piece of superfuous
advice to urge people at this season Of
the year to lay in a supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure
to be needed before winter is over, and
suits are obtained when taken as sooI
as cold is contract and before it has
become settled in the system, which car
only be done by keeping the remedy al
hand. This remedy is so widely known
and so altogether good that no one
should hesitate about buying it in pre-
ference to any other. 1t is for sale by
all druggists.

 In Poland something like a million and a half Jews have sought refuge; here are to be found almost as many Jews as in all the rest of Europe. Down in southern and southwest Rus sia this race has increased and pros. pered. and 1t is here the late dreadful massacres have occurred. The old prejudice of the Christian toward Jew has been added to mznyfold by a well. understood policy of the government understood by all but the deluded masses. The government, awake to the political and social unrest among the masses. has endeayored to distract from the real causes of discontent, has melted to mob action against the Jews; the people are critically taught to be- lIeve the Jew accountable for their woes. They seem to have learned their lesson all too well. any sort of public demonstration appears to demand an army of Jew victims. Let us hope that in the course of time the following words may prove prophetic: Under constitutional government. with a free press and free schools. the danger of riots would rapidly diminish

RAILROADS CARE OF WIDOW
Life Job For Women Whose Husband
 Was Killed by Train.

Mrs. Mollie Combes, a widow, twen- ty-three years old, who lives at 10 Rockaway road, Jamaica, N. r., has been appointed to life job by the Long Island Railroad company, says the New York Times. Her husband was killed last summer by circus train at Oyster Bay while he was cou- bling cars, and Mrs Combes found her self facing the world alone. She thought the situation over and went to the Long Island railroad offices seek work

 Chief Engineer Savage, to whom the question was addressed, is a kind hearted man! He advised the young woman to write letter to the compa- ny applying for work and setting forth all the circumstances of her husbands death. She did so and was invited to call at the office. There she was ques- toned as to her intention, if any, to bring suit for damages, it being scarce ly conceivable, judging from the ac- lions of others, that she should not sue.
 The young woman's eyes opened wide with wonder when the question was asked her.
 My husbands life could not be paid for in money" she said.
 The officers were astonished, but de- cided that such young woman de served attention. Engineer Savage gave her a typewriter to take home and practice upon, sending one of the best typists in the company's employ to in- struct her in the use of the machine. After she had mastered it she was sent to the Long Island City offices, where she was set at the task of copy ing the deeds to property purchased by the company during the past few years.
 When she has completed this work she is to be sent, at the expense of the company. to a stenographic school, there to prepare herself for the work of secretary or stem -pher, with the assurance of a life .ob in the employ of the rail---' rany.

WHITE ON RusslA's PERIL:

Subject Races In Grave Danger of
 spoIiation, Says Former Envoy.
 Before the Cornell University Cos mopolitan club Andrew D. White, for mer ambassador to Russia, recently spoke on the difficulties of constitu- tional liberty in Russia, says a special dispatch from Ithaca, N. r., to the New York Times.
 For many generations no public meetings for free discussion of public ieinsstiohsahave ever been known;l no discussion has been allowed in news papers" he said.
 The result is that every thinking Russian forms some theory of his own, and as he cannot discuss 1t to any ex- tent with others he develops 1t by him. self until he becomes bigotedly at tached to 1t, and 1t becomes to him an inspired truth. Some one has said that wherever you have two Russians you have three opinions The greatest dan ger to Russia at the present time is in the assertion of wild theories by fana- tics of all sorts.
 Universal suffrage today in Russia would probably mean voting for the spoliation and perhaps the murder of large classes. Certainly there is danger that if power be intrusted to the entire body of the Russian peasanry the Jews within the Jewish pale, the Ger mans of the Baltic provinces, the Poles, the Finlanders and many other bodies. separated from the main mass by traditions of race or religion, will be in very considerable danger as regards their property and even their lives"

DEADLlER TORPEDO.
Missile Equipped With Turbane En,
 gines Navy's New Acqufsition.

Missile Equipped With TnRbsme En.
 Eines Navy's' New Acquisition.
 The United States government Is sup plying its navy with a new engine oi destruction, the employment of which will be deadly step in the evolution of modern warfare, says the New York Times. This agent is turbine tor. pedo intended to supersede the old Whitehead. It is said that the turbine torpedo will travel nearly twice as far as the Whitehead and at least eight knots faster. The new invention is known as the Bliss Leavitt torpedo. These turbine dirigible torpedoes are being built in Brooklyn. The govern ment has let contract to company for 300 of them.
 A naval inspecting officer and force of naval experts are supervising the construction of the torpedoes. Several of those turned out have already been tested. Noyac bay, Long Island, was selected as the proving ground, with a fifty yard net as target. The torpe- does were discharged from the steamer Sarah Thorp at distance of 1,200 yards. The center of the target was struck three times in succession.
 The new torpedo has the advantage of the Whitehead in two other respects. It travels at full speed a few moments after striking the water, and 1t can be fired successfully from the submarine tubes.
 The torpedo itself is a marvel of mechanical skill It weighs 1,2291a pounds and is cigar shaped shell, the component parts being adjusted with such nicety that scarcely joint is visi- ble. It is enough like the Whitehead in it's several lines, however, to permit of its use in the old torpedo tubes, and this has the advantage of considera- ble saving to the government. The tor pedo is sixteen and half feet long and seventeen and three quarter inches across at its greatest diameter. The shell contains a l3O horsepower turbine engine and an air flask ninety-three inches long, made to stand pressure of 2,250 pounds to the square inch. There remains enough space for 268 pounds of explosive and the machinery to set it off. The air flask contains tho compressed air to drive the engine and propel the torpedo. This air is heated by an alcohol lamp, which lights auto matically. The new torpedo's chief su- periority lies in the improved air cham Der and the turbine engines. If it is employed in naval battles the engaging ships will attack from a greater dis tance than in cases where the White head has been used.
 These torpedoes will cost the govern. ment from $400O to S6.O0O each.
