campment today was the choice of
meeting place for next year. 1t had
been practically settled in advance
that the national encampment in 1905
would be held in Minneapolis. The
only other city that asked for the en-
campment in the convention today was
Dallas, Texas, whose offer was pre-
sented by John A. Ewton, manager of
the Dallas 10000 club. On a viva
voce vote the delegates seemed to be
about equally divided between the two
cities. A roll call was then ordered
and Minneapolis was chosen.
The encampment gave a vote of
thanks to Mr.. Ewton and the Texas
organizations which extended the in
vitation to meet in Dallas and Com
mander-in-Chief King invited Mr..
Ewton to go to Minneapolis next year
and repeat the invitation, promising
to use his influence to secure the ma
tional encampment in 1907 for Dallas.

The following dispatch was clipped
from the daily papers this morning:
"Rev. ID. G. Savage, pastor of the
Methodist church at Dunbar, Wis, was

The forward wheels of the double
carriage came off and he with the
others were thrown out. He was
injured in the abdomen and died Sun
day evening.
He was one of the well known mem
bers of the Wisconsin conference, and
had been pastor at Peshtigo and Har-
mony. With him at the time of the
accident were Mrs. Savage, George
Maxson, superintendent of the Girard
Lumber company; Mrs. Maxson and
the latter's mother. All were more or
less bruised and shaken up and Mrs.
Maxson's mother was seriously hurt.
The accident was caused by the king

A DROWNING MAN.

AS drowning man grasps at straw
so does the average man afflicted with
any form of disease, seek relief through
the most cleverly advertised medium.
He believes the misleading statements
and unbusinesslike propositions offered
in the promises of quick cures, buys ex-
perience at the expense of his nerve
force and vitality, and then awakens to
the realization of the fact that relief
and cure are obtained only throug the
services off reputable physician.
When contemplating treatment. one
should consider the factors of skill, ex-
perience and reliability which can best
be secured by consulting the physician
whose reputation among the people of
this vicinity, for skillfull and con-
scientious treatment entities him to the
respect and confidence of all in need of
medical treatment
DR.. l.. M. Turbin, of Chicago, who
has visited our city once every month
for years, is qualified in every way to
fill these requirements, by reason of the
success which has attended his wide
experience. The assertion that there
is no doubt of his ability to restore
those afflicted to health, is based on the
fact that he has successfully treated and
cured so many of onr friends. DR..
Turbin may be consulted free of
charge, and will again visit Wausau
Tuesday Sept. 26, at the Bells Hotel.

Miss Augusta Zipp, '02, came to visit

SEASON CLOSED.

The base ball season for 1905 closed
in Wausau Sunday when the locals
walloped the Brokaw paper makers in
lieu of a game with Beloit. The lat
ter team failed to come here for the
closing games and the Wausau manage
ment will ask for $50 forfeit money fol
each game. The players were paid off
yesterday and all have left the city.
The league has not been a paying pro-
position in any of the towns represented
and were it not for the fact that for
felt had been posted to finish the sea-
son, some of the teams would have
went up in the air weeks ago. Presi-
dent Powers is at work to organize a
league for next year and has
several propositions to offer The
Freeport management says it will not
be represented in a Wisconsin league
again for there is an impression that a
fair shake cannot be secured. As a
basis for this belief the Freerort team
believes it was "hornswoggled" out of
several games at Lacrosse by unfair
umpiring on the part of Umpire Fay.
The Wausau team has kept we'll with
in the salary limit and considering all
things has been well patronized at
home yet the expense account, it is
said, greatly exceeded the receipts and
the directors have been up against a
losing proposition all through the sea-
son. 1t is quite likely that the town
has had some advertising away from
home by reason of having team in
the league, but whether or not the
present directors will want any more
base ball next season is question we
are not prepared to answer.
There was fair attendance at the
last game of the season. Casper
pitched for Wausau and Pelot for Bro
kaw. The latter pitched good game
considering the support he had, the
leaguers only getting six hits. Casper
held the paper makers down to three
hits and while the locals were doing
out goose eggs to their opponents, they
helped themselves to seven runs.

There was a brief session of cir
cult court yesterday at which Edward
Schenk plead guilty to the charge of
illegal voting and paid fine and costs
amounting to S15.25. Schenk formerly
lived in the southern part of the state
and has served term in the state
penitentiary upon being convicted of
larceny. After serving his term of inn
prisonment he came to this county and
settled on farm near Hatley, where he
has since resided. His citizenship was
not restored to him upon his liberation
from prison and last fall at the state
election he appeared at the polls and
voted. He violated the law simply
through ignorance, he claimed. He
further claimed that the charge was
made in spirit of malice by former
employe whom he had discharged.
Until his citizenship is restored he is
still disbarred from voting. 1t is said
that if complaint was made, several
persons in the city could be prosecuted
on the some charge There are num-
Der in town who have served prison
sentences within the past few years,
who go to the polls every election and
vote openly when the election board
ought to disbar them. At the session of
yesterday attorneys moved for the dis
