A GREAT KICKER.

The other day Ole Pearson, of the
town of Plover, and his best girl, came
within a hairs breadth of being killed
Ole borrowed Dennis Roach's hand
some trotting mare, Light Foot"
to come to Wausau that he might
give his girl a ride that would
be in keeping with the holiday season.
The same day Ole purchased a hand
some new cutter and silver mounted
harness. He put the new harness on to
the horse and hitched it to the new cut
ter, and with the young lady tucked in
beside him they started for the county
seat. Everything was well until a short
distance from Wausau when the mare
commenced to kick and in about two
minutes had kicked herself loose from
the cutter and took a run for home, and
Mr.. Roach found her in his yard the
next morning, and they do say that she
is still kicking. Ole and his girl had
to walk a mile to Wausau in the bitter
cold. Ole consoles by saying 81 tank
dat horse he baa a kicker from way
back"

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

The regular semi-annual banquet ten
dered the alumni of the Training school
was held on Saturday evening, Deem
Der 23d. Although many alumni were
absent on account of Christmas pro-
grams, and others on account of the
great inconvenience in getting to their
homes in the country on Sunday, still
a large number were present
All of the rooms were beautifully dec.
GRATED with cedar, balsam, spruce and
hemlOck, each chandelier bearing a
canopy of balsam. The extent, variety
and beauty of the decorations was due
chiefly to the artistic taste and efforts
of Mr.. Walter Fromm.
The tables were decorated with car
nations, candies and fruit At each
plate was placed a souvenir containing
Christmas greetings, designed by Miss
Edith Rice and four others. After q
short informal program, consisting OF
determinations, short talks and music,
seventy-fve people sat down to Christ
mas feast. Ex-Supt. j. F. Lamont was
made POSTMASTER, and, after the last
course was served, many alumni were
called upon to respond to toasts. The
responses, most of which were humor-
Gus, were varied and interesting. The
experiences of those who had gone into
other work were also refreshing Miss
Bessie Taplin, '02, made some very APP
propriate remarks concerning our re-
tired superintendent, and Mr.. Herman
Kell spoke of our new superintendent.
Miss Grace Chellis related some funny
experiences in connection with her hos
pital work in Lacrosse. Miss Kriskey
some humorous details of the trials of a
country school teachers life. Supt. w.
j. Farrell spoke of the bond of sympa-
thy which seemed to exist between stu
dent and teacher and the benefits of
reunion MIR Erwin Marchetti respond
ed in glowing words to the toast-'"The
public school is the bulwark of the ma.
tion.' After some ten or more re-
sponses the banquet closed with short
speeches by Mr.. Earl Wells, Mr.. o. E
Wells, Miss Bohrer and Mr.. Lamont. :

ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Marathon
County Agricultural society will be
held at the court house at 7:30 D. m.
Wednesday evening, January Sd. This
is meeting which should be attended
by every life member. la the past the
annual meetings have been very poorly
attended and the entire work of plan
ming and executing the work of the
society has been left to very few men.
While we believe the work has been
well done, there is no question that it
could be improved if the life members
would take more interest in the work,
and besides it is not fair to ask few
men to carry on a work so important
without more encouragement from the
members of the society.
The fair brings more people to Wau-
sau than any event of the year. Many
of these people were in the habit of
trading at other towns which are just
as near to their homes as Wausau, but
coming to Wausau to the fairs have
learned to trade here, and so in recent
years our merchants have benefited
greatly by the fairs.
The fair has also done a great work
in bringing better live stock onto Mara
thon county farms. This means more
money to the farmers and a constantly
increasing benefitto business men.
| This year new president of the So
ciety will have to be elected, as Mr.
Quaw, who has served faithfully for
many years, declines to serve again.
A number of the other old officers are
anxious to step out, but with proper en-
enlargement from the members should
be induced to continue the work The
reputation of the fair is closely linked
with the names of the men who now
officer the society and the members
should turn out and insist that few
changes be made

CHRISTINA DAY.

Christmas was observed in all of the
churches about as outlined in this
paper last week-musical programs,
trees, Santa Claus. etc On Sunday,
the pastors put forth their best efforts
in delivering beautiful sermons. There
was large attendance at both Christ
mas exercises and sermons At the
county asylum old Santa appeared and
made his rounds of the wards, deliver
ing to each patient present. The diff
ferent schools had Christmas exercises
on Friday, and at some of them there
we're trees. laden with sweets for the
children. 1t is doubtful if there was
ever such fine Christmas weataer-the
day being bright and full of sunshine,
the few inches of snow melting where
exposed to old SOILS rays, and just
enought stiffness to the air to remind
one of winter.

The following is going the rounds Of
the daily papers:
Salem, Ore, Dec. ga new phase
In the school land swindle presented it.
self today in the application for return
OF partial payments on counterfeit
certificates, made in good faith to the
state school land board by the Fenwood
Lumber company of Wausau, Wis,
which holds fifteen bogus certificates
for an aggregate of 4,219 acres.
The Fenwood company loaned money
on the certificates to one, I'D. R. Muir
ply" which is held to be an alias of
one of the persons convicted several
months ago in the federal court of de-
frauding the government of public land
and who is now fugitive from justice.
Payments were made in Murphy's
name on these certificates as fast as
they became due by the Fenwood COM
pany and they now ask that these pay
ments be refunded. The land board
has deferred action in the matter until
it is determined whether they have the
legal authority to refund payments.

COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.
TOWN OF BERLIN.

On Sunday, Dec. 18th, Rev. Theo.
Hartwig buried little child by the
name of Woller in the Corning Gem
etery. The child was about six years
old and was burned to death. AS il
happened two of the little children were
left in the house alone while an older
sister wanted to step across the road to
the neighbors, but before she had gone
half way across the little one rushed
out of the house all in flames. The lit
tie child lived few hours after the
accident, when death came to relieve
her of the terrible pain. Our heartfelt
sympathy goes out to the Woler family.

make quite a noise; he rushed to the
scene with his rife, and after lively
chase managed to inhict the fatal
wound to the wild cat | suppose

CARL RUHNK E.

The many friends of Carl Ruhnke
were startled Saturday morning when
1t was announced in this city that he
had passed away the night before in
Milwaukee. Only his relatives knew
that he had been ill. 1t appears that a
week previous to his death the young
man was taken with severe pains in his
stomach and these increased in inten-
sity until death relieved him at 10
o'clock Friday night. His ailment was
diagnosed as appendicitis, aggravated
by the presence of other complications.
Mr.. Ruhnke was the only son of Mrs.
Bertha Ruhnke, SIC Jefferson street.
He was born in this city Sept Is, 1878,
and with the exception CT the present
year, had resided in Wausau all his life.
He was married in this city June 18th
of the present year, to Miss Ida Adam,
and in addition to his wife and mother,
he is survived by three sisters, Mrs.
John Relitz, Mrs. Albert Martini and
Mrs. Edwin Frenzel. | "
Mr.. Ruhnke had been employed by
the United States Express Co. for sew
eral years. and last August was sent to
Sparta by the company. Later, he re-
turned to Wausau and about Sept. goth
was promoted to the company's office
IN Milwaukee, as billing clerk, and held
that position when Death brought his
young life to close. His wife of only
few months, his mother and his sis
tiers have the sympathy of friends in
their hour of affliction. Carl was
young man well liked by everybody,
and his death is a personal loss to all
acquaintance.
The remains were brought here Sat
urday and the funeral was held this
Tuesday afternoon at two O'Clock from
st. PauPs church, the Rev. F. Schaer
conducting services.
Those present from out of the city
were Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ruhnke
Mrs. Carl Ruhnke, Mrs. Fl. Janke and
Mrs. o. Zuelke, all of Oshkosh; Mr..
and Mrs. John Mohr, Lacrosse; Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. H. Kopplin and daugh-
ter, Blue Earth, Mimi; Miss Myrtle

was taken sick with diphtheria; when
improved, their oldest son, Owen, was
taken down with the disease. Miss
Mae Bates was secured as nurse, and
after few days of very severe illness,
Owen passed the danger line and COM

then taken very i'll with diphtheria, she

John Clay, the father of Henry
Clay, the distinguished statesman,
was not only Baptist, but a Baptist
preacher. He resided most of his life
in what is known as 'the slashes' of
Hanover, and his farm, on which he
lived for many years, is two or three
miles from Ashland. Here his son
Henry was born, and probably Porter
Clay, who removed to Kentucky and
became a distinguished Baptist min
lister. Robert B. Semple, in his His

John Clay and that he was pastor of
the Chickahominy church and did
much missionary work in the region

Subtle and sure beyond all other
forces is the lower of thought to make
