You can't chase fog away with a
five cent fan; you can't get rid of ver-
min, bed bugs, etc, with little old
fashioned seventeenth century bug
powder, but you can get rid of house
hold pests with Anti-Germine. Frost

Richard Lambrecht, who was SEN
fenced to serve a term in the Green
Bay reformatory last Tuesday, was
taken to that institution the same even
ing. He was given an indeterminate
sentence of from three to five years.
The offense to which he pleaded guilty
was entering the place of Fred Bernitt
west of the city, while armed, and
robbing the cash register.
Martin Ergala, who is employed by
Healy q Brown in that firms ice house,
was badly injured Thursday. He fell
from tramway and landed on tim
Der with the result that cash was cut
across his forehead from the right
temple to the left. After the wound
was dressed the man was removed to
st. Marys hospital While the cut is a
bad one, still no serious results are
apprehended.
Last Saturday, John Kennedy, of the
town of Wausau, came to the city ex-
pressly for the purpose of taking to his
home Cadillac automobile, which ar
rived last Friday. Mr. Kennedy lives
ten miles from the city and the roads
are fine to his farm. The machine will,
no doubt, prove great convenience.
Mr.. Kennedy enjoys the distinction of
being the first farmer in Marathon
county to own an automobile.
Saturday was the day set for the hear
ing in the case against j. S. Stone, the
stranger charged with stealing a
diamond stud from the shirt busom of
travelling salesman two weeks ago AS
the public expected, the man did not
appear and his bail bond was forfeited.
Though the school fund has been bene-
fitted, justice has beencheated. Several
followers of fairs were brought over
from Marshfield as witnesses.
The M. w A. societies will conduct
dance at the West side Woodman hal.
on the evening of September 22d for
the purpose of raising money to meet a
shortage in the picnic fund. At the
time of the annual picnic, held here
Aug. 1-2, the receipts amounted to
only about 81, 700 while the expenses
we're $4,000. Rather than draw the
money from the treasury it has been
decided to meet the deficiency by sell
ing as many tickets as possible to the
600 or more members of the society
The ladies of the F. R. A. met last
Friday with Mrs. G. w. Gritzmacher,
61C Scott St., where they spent an en-
joyable afternoon, during which re-
freshments were served. The next
meeting will be with Mrs j p. Steffin,
704 Scott ST., on the afternoon of Oct |
18th These meetings have become one
of the leading social features of the |
society. They are not exclusive of any
faction, but each entertainer aims to
have all her sister members present |
and it helps promote a more fraternal |
spirit among the lodge members.
Adjt. Gen. Boardman, of the state |
militia, has announced the markings of |
the different militia companies of the |
state, as based on his inspection at
Camp Douglas in June The Third |
regiment stands highest as a regiment
and the Third battalion of the Third |
regiment first among batallions Co. |
q of Wausau is one of companies com
posing this battalion. In company
markings, Co. 6 got just over the line
dividing the first and second divisions. |
Its standing is twenty first out of forty |
two companies.
One car load of iron pipe arrived in |
the city Friday, from Birmingham,
Ala, which is to be used in the exten-
sion of water mains from the pumping
station to East hill. 1t has not been
determined when the work of construc-
will begin for the reason that the site
for the reservoir on East hill has not
been settled upon and as matters now
stand it will take the water commission
some time to arrive at a conclusion.
Sites which would be suitable, it is
claimed, the owners ask more money
for than the commission feels war
ranted in paying.
The PTLoT predicts that at an early
day bridge will be built across the
river in the vicinity of the asylum, or,
at least, an effort will be made to get
an appropriation from the county
board for such a purpose There is a
growing demand each year for it and it
is bound to come. 1t would be great
convenience for farmers living on both
sides of the river and especially to the
asylum management. The county
asylum farms are located on both sides
of the river and though within a stones
throw of one another, yet.a journey by
team from one to the other means

route. The bridge, of course, would
not be built on this account alone, but
the demands come from farmers living
on either side of the river.
Wausau gathered the people in by the
thousands during fair week, and the
Marathon Agricultural association may
well congratulate itself upon the sue
