The following is taken from the Stew

To use the feminine expression, she is a
''lovely girl" and The Gazette takes
J pleasure in Offering its best wishes in

regarded by all who know him."
The ceremony takes place this after
noon, Tuesday, Aug 2Sth, as stated by

and family have been spending the
summer at the old Kollock farm, in
Portage county, Mr.. Kollock and son,
Frank, attending to their business in
Wausau and vicinity and going down

LINCOLN COUNTY FAIR.

The Lincoln county fair opens today
starts tomorrow The Red Poll herd of
Jacob Simmer and the Aberdeen
Angus cattle of the Stewart Lbr. Co.
will be exhibited 1t is said that the
management has put forth extra efforts
this year to make the fair the best ever
held in that county. The largest string
of horses ever entered at county fair
races in Wisconsin is there this year,
some coming as far as from Butte,
Mont. One was shipped yesterday
through Wausau, which came all the
way from the far West by express, and
was riding III comfort in the express
car of the passenger train.
Another Marathon county attraction
will be Chief H. l.. Mumm and his band
OF Winnebago 'Injuns." He intended
to exhibit one Indian 1l3 years old, but
the old fellow is sick and can't be with
those who go to Merrill. Mr.. Mumm
will probably exhibit the red men here
next week, because he has had many
requests from parents, who wish their
children to see the exhibit.
One thing the Merrill people can be
assured of, is a good crowd from Wan
sau each day, providing the weather is
favorable, and in reciprocatiou we
expect several thousand Merrillites to
come to Weasan the week following.

THE CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME.

1t is seldom that the citizens of Wau-
sau have been offered a safer or more
promising investment in real estate
than that held out to them at Wausau
junction, which is destined to be, in a
short while, one of the most thriving
residence and business districts in this
city. The sale of lots in this addition
will begin next Saturday morning at
O'Clock and if we are not very much
mistaken there will be lively scram-
BILE on the part of investors to get in on
the ground floor and secure lots at the
low prices at which they will be sold
for the first 80 days That Wausau
junction will grow radidly is evident
to everyone who will give the matter a
little careful study. 1t is situated just
1 miles from the court house, five
minutes walk from the Grand avenue,
where the street car line has already
been begun; 36 trains, 20 passenger and
Is freight, stop there daily. The new
round house is now almost completed
and will be occupied within the next
thirty days, and it is only a question of
short time until this will be made
division point on the N. w r. r. and
shops will be built there. If you will
take state railroad map and notice
what this road is doing in building an
air line between Green Bay and st.
Paul you will readily see that Altoona
and Wausau are the only two practic-
able division points and that sooner or
later the division must come here. We
understand that some of these lots will
be sold as low as $50 and that payment
as small as $40 will hold one of them.
AS there are only 1875 lots in this addi-
ton and no more land nearby that can
be plated it is almost self evident that
prices will advance rapidly and that
those who now invest will reap big
profit. The sale begins Saturday morn
ing at 8 o'clock on the grounds and the
agent, Mr.. f. A. Dunn has made ar
engagements to have an automobile
carry those interested to Wausau juno
ton free of charge. These cars will
leave the front of the court house every
Is minutes, between and II o'clock
both Saturday and Sunday forenoons.

FINE ENTERTAIN MENT.

The local lodge of Odd Fellows, their
families and great many others were
entertained Friday evening at the
opera house by Newton Beers in i'm
presentations of the characters of the
play, David and Jonathon." There
are fourteen characters in the play,
but the two, David and DONATION are
ones which are of most interest to Odd
Fellows, for Odd Fellowship is based
largely on these biblical personages
Mr., Beers is certainly master OF his
art and it is doubtful if there is another
on the stage today assuming like roles
that equals him. 1t is difficult feat for
one man to assume different characters
even with the use of make-upS, and
portray each in natural manner, so
as to enthuse an audience. Mr.. Beers
draws the deepest interest from his
audience, and does not resort to change
of dress, paint box or any of the devices
known to the stage. He relies on facial
expression and change of voice wholly
and does it so cleverly that one i'm
agnes that there is company of
players on the stage, instead of one
man. That his audience might have
a better understanding of the piece,
recited an outline of the story of
David and Jonathon" before he
began his entertainment and from the
time he began, until he had concluded,
the attention of the audience was
invited upon him. At the close Mr..
Beers received a hearty encore and
everyone left the opera house with the
conviction that he had witnessed the
best entertainment he had seen in
years. The Odd Fellows are to be
praised for getting such man as Mr..
Beers here, and the latter will be
assured of packed house should he
ever return.
