The Tomah Monitor Herald says that
Wausau is being overrun with white
rats. That's strange news to us "Wau-
sauers." But one sometimes must go
away from home to hear the news. If
the above piece of news is true it may
mean calamity to Wausau. The
rats agree with Roosevelt in the matter
of large families and may overrun the
county. They, in time, might extend
their "Overrun" territory so as to en-
brace Tomah. Wouldn't that be awful
The story of the Fleur de Lance's intro
ductiOn on the island of Martinique
might be repeated.

extent in Wausau, bit hereafter un-
less the societies of people giving dances
or picnics have government licenses

order an arrest and the enforcement OF
the penalty. People desiring to sell in

John Powers, who was president of
the Wisconsin state baseball league
during the past summer, has been al
work since the close of the season in an
attempt to organize league for next
year. So far he has met with little sue
cess and there is fair probability that
the enterprise will fall fiat. He has
been trying to interest Appleton, Fond
du Lac, uGreen Bay, Kaukauna,
Manitowoc and Sheboygan, but they
all appear "gun shy" Some of the
towns mentioned regard one another
in about the same light as the people OF
the east and west sides of Merrill look
at each other. The financial experience
of the league the past season is detri
ment and scare crow to re-organiza
ton.
