ARRAN GEMENTS COMPLETE.
M. w. A. Picnic Association Plans for
Large Crowds.

The different committees of the M.
w. A. Picnic association held their
| final meeting last Thursday night and
carried out, in anticipation of holding
the most successful picnic yet given by
the association. These reports showed
that all details have been attended to,
and the two local societies are in readi-
ness to receive the visitors tomorrow
and take care of them. From reports
received from other cities and towns
within the picnic jurisdiction, it is
reasonably certain that they will be
well represented in Wausau Thursday,
and, barring lad weather, the affair
ought to be most pronounced success.
Merrill alone assures crowd of 800
people. That city will send two drill
teams and band. Stands have been
erected on the fair grounds and those
having charge of the decorations will
see that Wausau presents a good ap-
pearance TO visitors, but they would
esteem it favor if merchants and
citizens would take enough interest in
the matter to decorate their places.
AT the meeting Thursday night, VIM.
Gilham was delegated to have charge
of furnishing the eatables and Mat
Kust was chosen to have supervision of
