Quite lively time was had in front
of Baerwald's grocery store yesterday
morning. The Wausau Steam Laun-
dry's rig drove up and while the driver
was delivering work, the horse became
frightened at something and in jump
ing about, fell down. There were
plenty of men near by to assist and the
animal was unhitched and gotten on to
its feet again.
A house belonging to Ernst Dressed
and located at COS Scott street was
struck by lightning during the thunder

chimney was demolished and the tin
cap fitting in the stove pipe hole was
knocked out and SCOT blown over the
carpet and furniture. The house is oc-
cupied by family of the name of Wilde
Mrs. Wilde and child were out on
the porch at the time, but experienced
no shock. The above is strange oc-
currence for the month of October.
Unless the United States pure food
commission changes its mind Wausau
people will soon be using graduated
and other sugars that have distinctly
yellowish tinge. The commission has
decreed that no mineral blueing sub
stance shall be used in bleaching
sugars. Sugar chemists say they use
four pounds of mineral blueing sub
stance to every 100000 pounds of
sugar, for bleaching. This, the chem
lists say, is not adulteration. The pure
food commission cannot see it in that
light.
The Colby monograph appears this
week with a new head. The words,
The Monograph, appear In scroll
work, while cut of the machine from
whence the paper derives its name is
quite prominently shown up. Brother
Schafer shows enterprise in selecting a
new head for his paper, but his selec-
ton of style of monograph for cut
is not of the latest Edison design. If he
had left the selection with Walt Pradt,
the latter would undoubtedly have
chosen the cut of Wisconsin's former
pompadour governor.
Farmers are hauling considerable
rock to the city crusher at present,
though no more than barely supplies
the requirements on Grand avenue,
where the street railway is being built
The crusher is being operated every
day and as the street railway is laid,
course of crushed rock is placed along
each side and in the center of the track
and rolled down with the road roller.
Since the fall ploughing is nearly COM
pleted IL is thought a greater quantity
OF rock will be hanld in than heretofore.
A clerk in employ of the United States

years, the causes which led to divorce
and other data pertaining to the cases.
While A. A. Book, clerk of the court
has received no official notice as yet
regarding the visit here, it is expected

ties in the state. The work is being
done by a number of young ladies.
Policeman Victor Gertschen will be
Just plain citizen for the next five
weeks, having received orders to that
effect from the police and fire commits
sion. Gertschen, as stated in this
paper last week, was suspended by the
chief at the instance of the mayor, who
witnessed the arrest of VIM. Archie on
the night of Sept. 29th, when Gertschen
is alleged TO have struck the man over
the head with a club and used undue
| force in making the arrest. Gertschen,
we understand, was given chance to
redeem himself before the eyes of the
commission, but, it is said, that his own
testimony was the worst presented in
his case and condemned him. As a
lesson to him in the future the commits
