PROVERBS WORTH $4,000.

An extremely interesting and instruc-
tive prize contest is being conducted by
that metropolitan paper, The Evening
Wisconsin. On February 13 they started
to run series of pictures for fifty eight
days representing some well known
proverb or saying, sayings that we use
every day. All there is to do is to buy
an Evening Wisconsin and to write the
answers in the space beneath each pic
ture to be turned in at the end of the con-
test
The first pictures look very easy, and
we are going to try and win that $3.50
automobile or 5000 piano, but if these
get away from us we may get one of the
seventy-six other prizes You had bet
ter try what you can do. They will
mail you back numbers of the paper if
you have missed the irst pictures. Ad-
dress The Evening Wisconsin Co.

MILL BURN Ed.

On Wednesday morning last the Eich-
ert mill, owned by Chas. Zarnke and
situated five miles west of the city on
the Marathon City road, was burned to
the ground. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but is supposed to have start
ed from a spark dropping from the fire
pit under the boilers. 1t was discover
ed at about 1 80 in the morning and had
then gained good headway.. The scant
help at hand failed to arrest the prog
ress of the flames The mill was built
by Melchior Eichert in 1892, who oper-
ated it up to about year ago, when
Mr.. Zarnke purchased it. Mr.. Zarnke
was stocking the mill this winter with
his own logs, besides doing some custom
saving He world have finished his
cut in a few weeks. AS the timber in
that vicinity is pretty well cleaned up,
it is not likely that the mill will be re-
blilt.

ADJOURNED TELEPHONE
MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Wausau
Telephone company was held upon the
7th day of February. Reports were
read and a board of directors elect
ed for the ensuing year. For several
years it has been very evident that a
new system would have to be installed
in Wausau in order to give our citizens
the best of service. The board of direc-
tors, in its annual report, recommend
ed that our system be made metallic
and cables be used in all the work
where it was possible, and a new system,
either the central energy or the auto
matte, be installed. At the annual
meeting, all were favorable to the rec
concentrations made by the board, but
it was necessary that two-thirds of the
stock be represented, hence the meet
ing was adjourned until the evening of
Feb. 14th. At that time about $50 shares
of the capital stock was represented.
The board of directors recommended
the following, which was unanimously
adopted, viz:
To the Stockholders of the Wdusau Telephone
Company:
GENTLEMEN:-The directors of this
company respectfully recommend that
the articles of Incorporation of the
Wausau Telephone company be
amended
First-By amending article of the
articles of Incorporation so that the
capital stock of this company shall be
$40 900 instead of $1,000, the same to
be divided into 400 shares of stock
Instead of 200 shares of stock, each
share of stock to be of the par value
of $50.
Secondly amending article of the
articles of incorporation so that one
person may be privileged to hold three
| shares of capital stock for each tele
phone leased and used by him.
Thirdly amending article of sai6
articles of Incorporation so as to permit
the ownership by assignment of three
shares of stock for each telephone
leased.
We have assurances that we can oh
tain on fair terms the money needed il
excess of that obtained on the increased
capitalization herein recommended
with which to rebuild and retit our tele
phone exchange, as recommended il
our annual report.
Yours respectfully,
NATH. HEINEMANN,

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning Of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number or over 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
duri4E. the same year, with scarcely q
passing notice. Every one of these
cases of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use of this remedy.
The following is an instance of this sort:
TOO much cannot be said in favor of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, and es-

| OF an men Unlck.
There was some idea of adjourning
the legislature until after Washington's
birthday, but it has been abandoned,
and business will proceed right along.
The anti-cigarette bill promises to be-
come law. as the committee
seem to favor its passage. The at
torney general has given his opinion
that it was constitutional, it having
been modelled after the Iowa law to a
large extent.
A bill has been introduced into the
legislature for new county. 1t is pro-
posed that towns 81, 3S and 80 in range
IL and half of towns of 81 and 80 in
range 10 be detached from Oneida
county, in which Minocqua and Wood
ruff are located, and set aside for the
county of LaFollette. 1t is understood
that Three Lakes will be the county
seat.
Considerable interest is manifested in
the hearing to be given on the report of
the capitol committee on Thursday. 1t
is reported that Gov. La Toilette and
Justice Marshall of the supreme court
win appear before the committee in
favor of the Cass Gilbert plans, while
the Milwaukee architects will have rep
resentatives to appear against the report
of the committee. Figures have been
prepared to show that the Gilbert plans
will call for structure larger than the
New York state house at Albany or the
national capitol at Washington. 1t is
thought that there will be quite senti-
ment in favor of doing away with the
dome feature of the structure and max
ing it plain business-like capitol. The
interest manifested in advance of the
meeting indicates that it will be
decidedly interesting one.
There is bill before the legislature
to abolish the five days time between
the securing of a marriage license
and the day of the marriage ceremony.
Other measures of Importance before
the legislature are prohibiting camping
on public highways and fixing penalty
therefore; to prohibit marriage until
one year after granting divorce; de-
claring the act of deliberately assisting
any one to commit suicide to be murder
in the second degree; providing for a
state liquor commissioner, whose duty
it shall be to see that all laws govern
ing the sale of intoxicants in saloons,
enforced; increasing the amount of the
total appropriation made for graded
schools, and providing for the payment
of maximum of $1OO to each school;
relating. to powers conferred on corpor-
atoms; providing for the filing of
chattel mortgages with the register of
deeds; prohibiting the killing of does in
Wisconsin for five years; committee on
forestry, suspending the sale of all state
land until July l, 1905; to provide means
for the publication of a history of the
press of Wisconsin; to revise the drain
age laws of the state; to provide for
fine and Imprisonment of members of
the national guard, who refuse to pay
the penalties imposed by the guard
rules; providing penalties for drunkel
ness, for breaking Jail and for assault
and battery and for abusive language;
for the incorporation of mutual thresh-
ing machine companies; to appropriate
$4,000 to the Wisconsin Health Park
association for its consumptive santa
rum at Tomahawk, Lincoln county.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A spelling class has been organized
which recites twice week, after
school. This class is composed of
pupils who show weakness in being
able to spell words correctly in theif
written work.
Thursday afternoon we were given
fifty simple words. Twenty-eight out
of the three hundred and fifty pupils
fell below ninty per cent. The word
that was missed most generally was
fallon.
A new plan has been adopted to in
terest the pupils in representing the
high school in the annual oratorical
contest, to be held in Merrill this
spring. This year there are two
separate branches in the contest, viz,
oratory and dramatic. Each class has
chosen pupil to represent it in each
branch, and the faculty has also chosen
pupil from each class for each branch.
Those selected are:
For orations. Seniors George
McNaughton, Roy Johnson; Juniors
Roy Johnson; Sophomore-Karl Kraatz
John Stuhlfauth Freshmen = Baily
Ramsdell, Arnold Posteman.
For defamation. Seniors-Rose Sui
livan; Juniors-Elsie DGpree, Rowena
Arthur; Sophomore-Leona Nickerson,
Mildred Parcher; Elizabeth
Pautz, Edith Weeks.
In three weeks the Senior and Jun
Tor candidates will struggle for suprem-
acy, and in four weeks the Freshmen
and Sophomores. About five or six
weeks after these two preliminary con-
tests the final, in which the winners
and those who take second places il
the preliminary, are entitled TO enter.
