MARRIAGE FRUSTRATED.

The police received word Friday to
be on the lookout for young couple,
who had hired livery rig in Marsh
field and failed to return it. After al
lowing them time to get here the ofli-
GERS began an investigation, which re-
suited in locating the young people in
the Hoffman boarding house on the
west side. The Marshtield authorities
were notified, and the father of the
young man came over on one of the
night trains.
1t appears that the young people had
been wanting to get married for some
time, but met with parental objection,
because of their youth. They therefore
decided to inject little romance into
their love affair and planned to elope
and come to this metropolis and have
the marital knot tied They no doubt
would have succeeded, but for the fact
that some years ago man named
Morse invented an instrument known
as the telegraph, which carries mes
sages with lighting rapidity, and it was
this little instrument that foiled Cupld's
plans
When the young people arrived in
Wausau Friday night it vas late-too
late for them to visit a parson that
night--so each engaged a room and
each retired, to dream sweet dreams OF
the most important event of their lives,
which they presumed would take place
on the morrow But next morning
when they started out to seek preach
er or justice, they were confronted by
the young mans father, who took them
in tow and returned them to Marsh
field and their romance came to an
end.

Der, 1906, at the court house at nine
o'clock q. M, for the purpose of secur-
ing a suitable person residing in Mara
thon county to act as deputy fish and
game warden for this district. The
fact that there are less than three per-
sons residing in Marathon county
whose names appear on the eligible
list of the state civil service commission
for the position of game warden, makes
it necessary to hold this examination as
above advertised. An appointment
must be made at once as a result of this
exam nation. Candidates must be
familiar with the haunts of game and
with inland streams where fish abound;
must have ability to handle launch or

ONE TO BE REMEM BERED.

The thermometer of the local weather
bureau, in charge of Janitor Henry
Belize at the court house, yesterday
registered "a above the oval figure
which signifies the dividing line be-
tween above and below-if you can
comprehend that. 1t was the hottest
day of the year-it was like a furnace,
well filled with coal and the throttle
wide open. 1t was so hot that person
could not even take comfort in the
shade, and number of men working
in the lumber yards or where exposed
to the suns rays, had to quit work.
A steam arose from the streets as the
street sprinkler passed over them. The
lead pipe casing on the telephone COM
pany's cables in some places melted
and dripped to the street, SC we have
been informed. 1t certainly was warm.
The records for the past three years show
that Monday was the hottest of any in
that time In 1904 and '05 the record
each year was 80.
August thus lar has been a remark
able month. The average humidity has
been over 50. There has been only six
days when the thermometer showed
less than so, while in 1904 there were
only six days in the same month when
it registered above so, and IA days last
year the mercury attained that altitude.
Please pass us some October weather;
we're sick of this kind.

RAILWAY SURE TO COME.

We have been informed by parties
| interested in the building of a street
car line in the city, that at present
material is being purchased, such as
| ties, rails, trolly wires and their iron
pole supports, cars and equipment of
| all kinds. Within the next two weeks
perhaps before that time-the work
of construction will begin. just where
| the work will start has not been
determined. 1t may be on lower
| Grand Ave. or on N. Sixth St. or a
crew may possibly be placed at both
| ends of the route. A large force will
be put on and by next spring it is ex-
| pected that three miles of road will be
built, equipped and ready for business.
1t is possible that cars will be in opera
| ton the coming winter. During the
coming year all the work will be
directed in building the road on GER
tain streets on the east side of the
river. After that it is the intention to
extend the line to the west side of the
| river, also to Schofield, and, as condi-
tons warrant, to other near by towns.
Those interested state that the stime
has passed when they have anything to
conceal from the public. There was a
time when secrecy was necessary for
the reason that they did not want to
blow about what they were going to do
and take chances of making fooZle
and be ridiculed
As to the matter of power, that has
been partially settled 1t is quite
likely that electric power will be fur
nished by the Wausau Electric Co.
That company will necessarily have to
make some changes in its plant to
provide sufficient electrical energy for
the street railway company. To deter
mine what these changes are to be and
to talk over other matters relative to
the railway, a meeting of the stock
holders of the Wausau Electric Co. will
be held soon.
There is only one regretable feature:
Wausau is to lose the distinction of
being the largest city in the United
States without street railway system.

SUNDAY OUTINGS
raTnen R,vs Moo 1reubIs fl LsekIlg
 0Vd hsDsIty Inn Fermsrly.

The weather was unusually cold yesterday for this season. but 1t didn't deter large numbers from get ting out into the woods and on to the country roads where they spent few hours away from the busy throngs in the crowded part of the city. This is getting to be quite custom in Wa ferbury and as consequence farm. CTS who in the past looked forward to Sunday as day of prayer and application now regard 1t with fear and considerable alarm, knowing from experience that 1t is apt to prove an occasion of much confusion and trouble to him. There is no rea- son why this should bo SO. There is lots of room for everybody who wauts to get out into the open for m hour or 50 and nobody would object to that sort of thing provided there was not disposition to injure pr.vaso property. The great majority of citi- zens who enjoy a stroll through the fields make 1t point to respect prop erty rights, but unfortunately some appear to take delight in doing harm with the result that all are looked upon. with moro or less suspicion by residents of the rural districts. This is only one of the marked changes noticeable in Waterbury within . brNf period, but 1t Is an important one, and no wonder since the farmer who used to have the Bible as his companion over Sunday has of neces- sity discarded the great book and taken up the shotgun instead.
