A device important 10 railroad met
has been invented and patented by
George NJ. Ayles of New Albany fol
many years an engineer on the Sou
thern and the old Air Line railways,
now engineer at the New Albany fed
raj building.
The invention of Mr. Ayles pro-
yides for a continuous rail for main
tracks doing away with the frogs
that have heretofore been necessary
in connecting sidings with the main
tracks. hence the device j., known as
the "frogless switch.
rhe utility Of Mr.. Ayles inyen-
ton is readily conceded by railroad
men, aud it is believed it will obyi-
ate frequent railroad wrecks caused
by ears rolling from side tracks onto
,o mann line.
The mechanism is operated from
, Witch stand, the movement to throw
he switch for the siding also control
ing the continuous rail. On account

several months. He had been in fail
ing health for the past four months and
for several weeks had been confined to

Mr.. Roemer came here from Hart

of an upright, honest man, Industrious,
possessed of good business ability and
honorable in all his transactions. He
was a pleasant man to meet and one OF
the best of neighbors. AT the time OF

THE FAIR GROUNDS.
A Meeting of the Members of the
Marathon County Agricultural
Society Called.

Last Wednesday, L. X. Wright
secretary of the Marathon County
Agricultural society, sent out the fol-
lowing notice TO the members of that
society:
"Wausau, Wis, May 10Th, 1906.
A special meeting of the members of
the Marathon County Agricultural
society will be held in the supervisors
room, at the court house, in the city
of Wausau, on Thursday evening, May
oath, at 7:30 p. m, for the purpose of
considering proposition in regard to
safeguarding the title to the fair
grounds"
For many years there has been some
talk, by members of the society,
as to the best way to proceed
to make the fair grounds a per
manent park for the people of our
county and city. They are the most
beautiful fair grounds in Wisconsin
and cannot be excelled as natural
park. Some have advocated the vestiDg
of the title in the county and others in
the city and county, jointly; of course
the agricultural society reserving the
right of the use of the grounds for
ANNALS fairs and state meets. The
only way by which the fair grounds
can be lost, is by mourning debts by
bad management of fairs, inclement
weather, etc. There have been times
in the last ten or twelve years that the
society has been in debt several thou
sands of dollars, and only by the per-
sistent efforts of few, our grounds
would have been lost the same as those
of Stevens Point, Oshkosh, Manitowoc,
Waukesha and other places. There is
always danger of debt accumulating
and sufficiently large to require the
sale of the grounds to pay the same.
The calling together of the members
of the society to discuss this matter, is
move in the right direction and no
doubt some plan can be arrived at that
will be satisfactory to all and preserve
our beautiful fair grounds forever as a
park for the people of our county and
city, where all can go for enjoyment
and recreation. Let every member at
tend the meeting of May 24th.

ter was referred to the committee on

ing colors: dark red, dark green, dark

to change the grade of new sidewalk
being built, so as not to destroy his
shade trees To conform with the city
grade, sixteen inches of dirt would
have to be dug away, exposing the
roots of the trees The petitioner asked
that he be required to dig away only six
inches, and as the adjoining property
owners are willing, the petition was
granted.
An ordinance was presented by the
finance committee and city attorney
which provides for issuing so bonds of
$1,000 each, to be designated Franklin
school bonds. They shall be dated

erical order. They shall bear interest
at the rate of four per cent. per annum,
and the sum that is to be paid on them
each year shall be put into the tax levy,
irregardless of other taxes. They are
to be sold to the highest responsible
bidder and the money thus raised is to
be used for school purposes only. For
further information see resolution in
another column of the PLoT. Tue
resolution will be voted upon at the
regular meeting in June.

man Justesen, and passed, gives the

in value. This plank is to be used for
ro-planking bridges.
There being no further business the
council adjourned.
