Agricultural Automobile.

Yesterday General Thorp start
ed for Chicago, and after brief
sojourn there he expects to pro-
-ceed to Pittsburg, Pa. The
General goes East TO perfect the
patent and oversee the construc-
ton of an agricultural automobile
which he has invented.
This machine is very unique
in its conception; it is designed
for variety of uses. It is in
tended for supplying motive
power for mowers, for blowing,
for attachment to pumps for
drawing water, for saving wood,
for use on the road, in short for
thousand and one things, at
present unthought of and yet re-
quiring power.
General Thorp calls it an agri-
cultural automobile. It is said
by him that the machine is of
tripod construction, as it has
three legs. But the legs in this
case are wheels and it will be
commonly known as a tricycle.
machine. It will be worked by
a gasoline engine and may be
brought up to almost any horse
power.
It is to be of all-metal con-
struction-not bit of wood
about it. Wheels will have
steel tires, and only the finest ol
metal will be utilized in con.
structing this new machine.
General Thorp expects to be
Fast about 80 days. It is his
desire to have his agricultural
| automobile constructed, thor.
oughly tested, and in every way
perfected by the opening of th'
/ Lewis and Clark Fair, as he
wishes to place it on exhibition
at the Exposition. From wha
is learned, it takes no stretch o
imagination to believe that th
j General has conceived some
thing of unusual worth an
merit.

No. %
Must Have SteepIe.

Last Saturday a 5oo-pound
bell for the Catholic church in
this city arrived from Philadel-
phia. The bell is supposed to
be of the finest quality .of bell
metal and cost laid down in this
city in the neighborhood of $15o.
For manv years members of
this church have desired a bell. as
have the various Fathers located.
here, but they felt that as the.
church was not large in member
ship they could scarcely afford it.
During the past winter Father
Springer resorted to every means
within his power to secure money
with which to purchase the bell.
The money was raised, the bell
is here and paid for.
Now, another problem con-
fronts Father Springer-the mat
ter of hanging the bell. There
is no tower to the church and
means of building a steeple must
be forthcoming. It is thought
some time during next month
the ladies of the Catholic church
will hold what is known as a
'tair'' and see what can be rails
ed for the erection of a steeple.

BENTON MAN HURT.
George Beamis is Badly Injured
Thrown From Hack on
Steel Bridge.

The following account of an
accident which befell George
Bearnis is printed by the Al
bany Herald:
An accident occurred on the
steel bridge last evening, which
came near terminating in fatal
ity for one of the participants if,
indeed it does not result in his
early death. George Beamis, an
aged and well know farmer, re-
siding in Benton county about
6ve miles west of this city, was
on his way home from a short
stay in Albany, accompanied by
Henry Hector, one of his neigh
bors. While driving across the
steel bridge, and on the further
approach, something became dis
arranged about the harness and
Mr.. Hector dismounted and pass.
ed to the heads of the horses.
About this time the rig ran upon
the heels of the horses and the
team, turning suddenly over
turned the covered hack in which
Mr.. Beamis sat, throwing the
gentleman violently to the & oor
of tie bridge with the hack or
| top of him. In the melee the
wagon pole was broken and the
hack was otherwise damaged.
Mr.. Beamis was at once given
aid. He was lifted into buggy
that was passing and as he was
in great pain, was Immediately
driven back to this city and taker
to the home of his son, Arthur
Beamis, who resides en- Igor
street, between Seventh ane
/ Eighth streets, and Drs. Stark
and Wallace were call in to .ad
minister to the injured man, whe
was in great pain and believed te
be dangerously injured.
i An examination showed tha
the patients collarbone wa!
broken and that his body wa
severely bruised in number o
lplaces. His breast was also bad
/ ly injured and it was the opinion
of the physician that a rib wa
broken and a splinter of tn
bone had penetrated the RICH
lung. Other internal injuries j
us feared may have resulted
but these could cot be ascertain
ed last night by the examinin,
physicians.
The patient was relieved SO IA
, as it was possible considerin
: the nature of the injuries and a
a late hour he was resting eas
at his sons home where Mrs
: Beamis had joined him, havin
; been brought to the city as 500

be learned at the farm home ,

seriously injured was thought
to have good chance for r
$ covery in spite of the grievo'
: injury sustained, an injury th'
d at his age-Mr. Beamis is ov
70 years old-is grave one.

Attorneys L. Bilyeu and c. NJ
Kissinger, counsels for F. S. Har-
oun, yesterday purchased the Eu
gene Business college from their
client. The property was en-
numbered to the extent of 5000.
which was paid by the purchas-
ers.
Attorney Kissinger stated to a
Register reporter that commenc-
ing next Thursday morning classes
would be resumed at the college
and that all those who had paid
their tuition would be welcome
to resume their studies. New
pupils will also be welcomed. The
new proprietors are casting about
for a corps of teachers and in
structors and it will be the pur-
pose of the new administration to
place the institution upon a high
plane of efficiency.
Professor Haroun is still in the
county Jail, not yet having given
bonds. Saturday evening ten
men it is said, offered to give a
cash bond for the professors re-
lease, but it is said that his attor-
news advised them not to do SO
yet. Just why is not explained.
Attorney Kissinger this morning
informed a Guard reporter that
they do not want their client
| to secure bonds sor a little time
yet. It is probable that they fig:
ure upon a settlement Of the case
soon, but it is strange that they
should want to keep the man in
Jail when it is apparent thai
bonds could easily be procured.

HORSE KILLED.

There was an exciting runaway Sun
day afternoon which ended in the
killing of horse and the narrow
escape of the owner. Steve Bondoski,
who resides in the town of Stettin, came
to town that morning with his son and
daughter to attend services at St.
Michael's church and at about the noon
hour started for home. His daughter
started ahead and walked across the
Leahy Il Beebee bridge to the west
end of Clinton street, doing some shop
ping on the way, and there waited for
the arrival of her father. Mr.. Bondoski
took another course and crossed the
Falls bridge. When on the bridge his
horse took fright and started on the
run and at the end of Clinton street,
crashed into the front of Albers' west
side drug store. The horses head
struck one of the iron door frame sup
ports with such force as to crush the
skull policeman was called to shoot
the animal and it was carted off and
buried. The buggy struck the curb
stone with terrific force and the man
and his son were thrown out. The boy
landed on his feet and was not injured.
The man, however, was thrown through
the basement window. A heavy wire
screen protects the window and his
body landed on this with such force
that screen and window glass were
carried with him. Parties who wit
messed the accident went down into
the cellar and there found Bondoski
lying unconscious, his head cut and
badly bruised. He was brought up and
soon regained consciousness. Had the
wire screen not been there, it is quite
likely that he would have suffered
worse injuries from broken glass cuts.
At all events he had lucky escape.

DE-. w. 0. CARRIER.

DR.. and Mrs. w. o. Carrier and
daughter, Miss Cornelia, of Waukesha,
have been spending the past few days
in Wausau, greatly to the delight of
their hosts of friends in this part of
Uncle Sans domain. DR.. Carrier oc-
cupied the pulpit of the First Presby-
terrain church both Sunday morning
and evening. On the former occasion
the auditorium of the large church was
filled to overlooking and it was
necessary to throw open the lecture
room to accommodate all who came
out to hear him, which demonstrated
that he still continues to hold warm
place in the hearts of our people. He
presented the merits and advantages OF
Carroll college, of which he is presi-
dent, in such a forceable manner that
he was successful in securing quite
number of students for next year, and
as some of these were headed for other
institutions, it speaks volumes for DR..
Carriers persuasive abilities. Cards
were distributed, asking for contribu-
tions to help in the support and up
building of the.college, and these will
be handed him before he departs or
be sent to him, and no doubt there will
be goodly sum forthcoming.
Recently Dr. Carrier was preaching
before an audience in Calvary church,
Milwaukee. After the service, lady
handed him package with the remark
that it was something for his college.
He was greatly pleased upon opening
it to find $4,000
At the evening service he was again
greeted by a large congregation whom
he thoroughly enthused with religious
spirit by an eloquent sermon.
DR.. and Mrs Carrier and daughter
are guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Stone,
but if they remained from now until
the holidays there would not be
sufficient time for all who desire, to
entertain them.

AUTOMATIC SYSTEM.

:. car load of devices for the auto
matte system, to be installed by the
Wausau Telephone Co., was received
this week, including seven sections OF
switch board A. f. Bennett, of the
Automatic Electric Co., of Chicago,
arrived in the city yesterday and
brought with him crew of men which
is at present installing the apparatus.
Each section has a capacity of 100
phones With the switch board was
shipped an electric dynamo and gas
engine to generate electricity. The
electric current will be used at all times
unless break in the system occurs,
when the gas engine will operate the
dynamo, the same being interchange
able. The Wausau Electric Co. will
furnish the electric power for the
dynamo
The automatic phones are expected
within short time, when a crew of
workmen will begin taking out the old
ones and making connections with the
new ones. This work must De CON-
pleted within thirty days.
Nearly ali of the street work is COM
pletea. The majority of the men have
been discharged and only few re-
tanned to take down old work and make
few corrections in the new system.
AS soon as the switch boards are con-
nected the work of making the changes
in phones will commence, and by the
middle of September Wausau will have
complete automatic system.

COUNTY OFFICERS WON.

The game of base ball played last
Saturday afternoon between picked
teams of county and city officials re-
suited in favor of the court house gang.
Only five innings were played, and TO
give tabulated score of the game we
would be obliged to enlarge the width
of this column, which would mar the
makeup of our paper. There were
several interesting features in the game,
the most surprising of which was the
persistency with which several of the
players would attempt to circle the
bases in the wrong direction. There
was lack of Amos Rusie pitching, of
King Kelly head work and of Harry
Latham coaching and the batting
record of Napoleon Lajoie was never
in danger.
Notwithstanding these shortcomings
there were great many redeeming
features, which fully compensated
those who attended. 1t is said that
during all his life time Dean Swift was
never known to smile, but if he had
been present on the grounds Saturday,
we think he would have split his sides
in laughter at the elephantine move
ments of some of those who took part
in the farce. Old Dan Robinson's
movements under the circus tent, when
he was at the pinnacle of his glory,
were not in with those of the keepers
of the city and county archives of
records.

SOLD TO BRANDON PEOPLE.

The Crandon Telephone company,
represented by j. L. Halle, M. d. Heath
and Egbert Wyman, of Crandon, pur-
chased 100 telephone instruments of the
Wausau Telephone company last week,
together with switchboard and other
apparatus necessary to operate q rnaual
telephone plant in their city. The
Wausau company is about to install
the automatic system which will prob
ably be in operation in thirty days.
This will necessarily throw out 700 tele-
phone instruments, of the most ap-
proved make, manufactured by the
American TELEPHONE Co. The instru-
ments, board, etc., were sold to the Gran
don company at low price and will give
it a complete system at a very small
cost. The balance of the 600 insSru-
meDts which are to be taken out by the
Wausau company are for sale and here
is a chance for any one desiring to put
in an exchange, to purchase material at
very low cost.

LUMBERMEN MEET.

Friday afternoon last the members of
the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen's
association and the Northwestern
Hemlock Dealers association held
meetings in this city at the Bells hotel
While the members would not discuss
what had been done at their meetings,
il is understood that present price lists
will be revised and prices on nearly
every variety of lumber considerably
increased. 1t is said that the demand
for lumber is better today than it has
been for years. There are several
reasons for this. First, there is an un-
usually large amount of building going
on all over the country this summer.
Second, wholesale dealers are at pres
ent purchasing northern lumber in
preference to southern woods, because
of the prevalence of yellow fever in the
South. Another factor which helps
stiffen prices is shortage of supply.
The winter of 19O4-5 was unfavorable
to logging operations and it is said that
the cut in the states of Wisconsin and
Minnesota last winter was about
400, 00O,00 feet less than usually. The
ending of the long continued transfers
strike in Chicago has also boosted the
market
Many of the yards are entirely sold
out on certain grades of dry lumber,
especially timbers. Local building
contractors have had difficulty this
summer in getting suitable dry timbers
for their operations and have had to
accept green in many instances

SWEET PEA CONTEST.

The sweet pea contest, mention of
which was made in these columns last
week, was held at the fair grounds yes
terday afternoon. The weather was
unfavorable and at one time it had al
most been decided to postpone the
event, yet there was fairly good at
tendance. There were in all 40 boys
and girls'present with exhibits of flow
ers, and description of the display
would take more space than we can
spare in this issue. We will say, how
ever, that it exceeded anything of like
nature ever held in Wausau, and some
of the designs were, as Merrill girl
would term it, perfectly lovely"
The winner of the first prize,
little Margaret Mathie, daughter Iof
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Mathie, had her dis
play arranged in the form of United
States flag, with appropriate colored
peas for the stars and bars. Tie
judges were Mrs. p. V. o. Van Vech-
ten, Mrs. A. W. Trevitt and Mrs. Frank
KellV Prizes were awarded as follows.

DIED FROM DRINKING KER0-
SENE,

Eugene, the little son of MIR. and Mrs.
VIM. Roberts, who resides one mile
north of Ringle, died Tuesday morning
from the effects of drinking small
quantity of kerosene from tin cup.
About o'clock in the afternoon, of
Monday the boy secured possession of a
tin cup holding quantity of kerosene.
He drank only small amount of the
fluid, but the cup being very old and
rusty it is supposed that combination of
rust and oil formed poison. The little
fellow suffered for nine hours before
death came to his relief.-Mosinee
