INITIATE CANDIDATES.

The local lodge of Elks had a very
important meeting in their new lodge
room last Thursday evening. At that
time class of ten candidates were put
through the torture incident to making
them good Elks and the lodge was
honored by the presence of two dis
tinguished visitors. These were o. J..
Sorensen and Thos. Burns, both of La
Crosse. respectively Deputy Grand Ex-
allied Ruler and secretary of the Wis
consin Elks.
After the initiatory ceremonies the
members repaired to the banquet board,
set in the dance hall and after they had
done justice to the good things on the
table talkfest followed. The speakers
were the two gentlemen above men,
toned and G. B. Bird, the latter Past
Exalted Ruler of the local branch.
Mr.. Sorensen spoke mainly on the
Wausau lodge, commencing the excel
lent ritualistic work displayed that
evening and said he had never seen
any better. Mr.. Burns explained his
visit by inviting the Wausau lodge to
visit his city next August at the time of
the holding of the next state conven-
ton. 1t is highly probably that large
delegation will go from here, for there
is sentiment that the convention of
1907 should be held in Wausau and so
it will be necessary to send many men,
5ers to La Crosse to present the invita-
ton and work up sentiment in favor
of Wausau

POPULAR CONCERT.


A most delightful entertainment, in a
musical way, is in store for the people
of Wausau, on next Monday evening,
at the opera house. In response to an
almost universal request, Mr.. Jacob
Reuter- will devote the evening to the
rendering of popular American, Scotch,
German, Irish and Italian airs. Among
others will be ''Verlassen,' go Tannen-
baum Wearing of the Green"
Kathleen Mavourneen," Carnival of
Venice" Blue Bells of Scotland"
Coming Through the Rye" my Old
Kentucky Home America" etc.
In addition to Mr.. Reuters numbers
there will be several contributions by
members of the Tue-day Musical club.
This entertainment will be unique in
some respects. Mr.. Reuter- has hereto
fore insisted upon strictly classical
music. In fact his entertainments
heretofore have failed to entertain the
average listener because of their not
being understood by the individual
who is not himself an artist. There
will be nothing to complain of on this
score on Monday evening. QEvery num-
Der will be an old acquaintance. Every
BODY will be entertained.

X. OF P. GOING TO AMIGO.

At meeting of Marathon Lodge No.

A. Martin, G. C.; John Curtis, V. c.;

MISS SCHAFFER'S LECTURE AT
THE CLUB HOUSE YESTERDAY

and commented upon its great prog
ress. 1t was q splendid lecture and
was listened to with great interest by
all.
At the close of Miss Schaffer's re-
marks, Miss Della Thayer rendered a
violin solo, "Lsgende," by Bohm
| Then followed an exhibition of the
work that is being carried on in the
deaf school of our city, under the direc-
ton of its two very excellent teachers,
Miss Margaret Hurley and Miss Leone
Kristenson. There was considerable
blackboard work, declarations by lit
tie girls rendered in such a splendid
manner that it took most of the audi
ence completely by surprise. Little
children, only five years old, just by
lip-reading, did everything that was
tod them as quickly as if they had
heard the orders, and the way these lit
| tie ones could write and point out
/, words written on the black board, cor
rectly, from large number, was mar
| velous. The older scholars did excel
| lent work in figures; writing sentences;
| asking and answering questions, etc.
One very interesting part of the exhibit
ton was the guessing contest. Miss
Hurley sat in front of the scholars with
"a little box in which there was some
thing which only could be Known by
giving the correct guess. By asking,
the scholars found out whether it was
good to eat, good to wear, or something
to look at, etc. In every instance the
children guessed correctly in very short
order. The children then gave an exhi-
bition of marching and dancing, with
Miss Kristensen at the piano. Perfect
time was kept, and the grace displayed
in the two-step and other dances was
equal to those who have the best of
hearing. A piano was purchased for
the school last October and it has
proven a valuable investment.
The work of the school was followed
by brief talk by Supt. Tobey His
remarks had to be necessarily very
brief, because it was nearing the supper
hour, and it was along the lines of the
superintendent work with reference
to the schools, the board of education
and the community. Though brief, it
was replete with excellent thought.
Mrs. Hart was on the program for
solo, but the lateness of the hour pre-
vented this part Of the program being
carried out.
1t was two hours of great pleasure to
al who were present, and Mrs. Kelly
and Mrs. Bird are to be congratulated
upon the pronounced success of the
entertainment.
The scholars of the deaf school were
served luncheon in the parlors of the
club house and given candy and flowers,
and they met many who were present
who congratulated them on their good
work.
The deaf mute school was opened in
Wausau in 1889, through the efforts of
the late Justice G. V. Bardeen, who
always took great interest in it. The
school now has ten scholars; eight from
this city and county, one from Amigo
and one from Rhinelander.

A HOME IN PASADENA.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
James McCrossen, in Wausau, will re.
greet to learn that they will give up their
home here, and hereafter will live, a
greater part of the time, in Pasadena,
California. They are now building a
home in that city and which will be
completed in few months. Their hand.
some home on Fourth street, in this
city, is for rent, and no doubt, on ac-
count of its many conveniences and ex-
cellent locality, will be quickly taken.
This means that Mr. and Mrs. McCros-
sen will only come to Wausau, perhaps
on visit, for few months each year.

Miss Anna E. Schaffer, state inspec-
tor of schools for the deaf and dumb,
of the state of Wisconsin, gave briei
lecture yesterday afternoon in the Lall
of the Wausau club house before mem
bers of the Ladies Literary club, mem
bers of the board of education, teach
ers of our city schools and others, IL
all, over two hundred being present
Mrs Frank Kelly and Mrs G. B. Bird
of the Home and Education department
of the Ladies' Literary club, had the ar
rangement of the program on this oc
casion, and they conceived the idea OF
having the lecture by Miss Schaffer. an
exhibition by the scholars of the deal
mute school of this city; an address BY
Supt. Tobey and several musical num-
| bers The time from four until six
o'clock was fully taken up and made SC
very interesting that all FELT that they
would have liked to remain another
two hours if the entertainment could
have been continued.
Miss Schaffer gave brief history OF
the great work that has been done in
Wisconsin, in dealing with the educa-
ton of the deaf; of the origin of the
Wisconsin system of public day schools
for the deaf and how it sprang from a
class of four formed by Prof. Adam
Steiner. in 1878, in private residence
Tn
struction was in the German language
and by the oral method, without signs.
Kr A. g. Bell made a tour of inspec-
ton, visiting the various schools in the
state in 1898, and in his address before
the students and members of the faculty
of the University of Wisconsin, he said
wisconsin has startled America with
her progress relating to the education
of the deaf and dumb and it now be-
comes the duty of all the prominent in
structors of the deaf TO come and
see what you are doing, other states
are beginning to follow your lead.
Wisconsin today represents the most
progressive movement in the education
of the deaf that has appeared in this
country. 1t is therefore with very
great interest that | have come to Wis
consin TO see with my own eyes the
practical results of the Wisconsin
system of educating the deaf" The
speaker said that there were 800 deaf
and dumb persons in the state, 500 of
whom were receiving instruction that
the state paid $3.50 to a school for each
deaf and dumb scholar, and that all
the information necessary for organic
ing a school could be had from the
state superintendent. Miss Schaffer
dwelt some time upon the good results
of having the deaf schools connected
with the city schools and made a part
of them, and in having the deaf and
dumb pupils present at such gatherings
as was being held yesterday afternoon ;
it helped them to act and become like
others not thus afflicted. Miss Schaffer
touched upon music in the deaf school
and told what wonders it had worked
in our school since piano had been
placed in the school last fall. She paid
very high compliment to the teachers
of the deaf and dumb school of Wausau
