us STUDENTS ARE GRADUATED
From the Marathon County Training School
for Teachers Since its Organization.

Spindler furnished the audience with a
great deal of amusement in dia-
logue, Hard of Hearing The piece
was of very humorous nature and as
interpreted by these three young ladies,
who gave proper expression to the diff
ferent characters, it proved a very in
teresting feature of the program.
Dora Steinecke's subject was "Sim-
plicity," detailing the attributes of that
word as applied to the life of an indi.
vidual and nation. 1t is today, as it has
always been, one of the commendable
features of our social life.
Edith Rice gave 'The Life History of
a River" This covered the time from
the glacial period when small rivulets
were formed which in turn converged
into one stream which gradually wore
away the earth and rocks, until we have
before us the proud streams of today
Lydia Stork illustrated health gym
nastics with class of young ladies,
attired in gymnasium dresses. The
ease and gracefulness of their move
ments was pleasant surprise to those
present, in determining what can be
done by systematic gymnasium prac-
tice.
Carrie Van Kleeck's grafton on "The
Trained Teacher" was to {. certain 1e-
gree. a plea for more training schools
in preparing teachers for their voca-
tions. The teacher of today, to get a
paying position, must have special train
ing, as is the case in other lines of work,
and to get this, training schools are
absolutely essential.
Meriel Perkinson gave an impersona-
ton of King Henry W. 1t was all elo-
cutionary effort which displayed voice
culture, talent and thespian ability.
Sophronia Miners defamation,
Eternal Vigilence," !" proved one of the
most pleasing numbers. 1t was we'll
delivered and was a message of phil
osophic thought.
The Misses Anna Bradfish, Tegge and
Penke, who had been assigned the clos
ing number, delivered the class proph-
eey. They, Jules Verne-like, carried
the audience to the years that are to
come. With spin of the wheel of for
tune of time they foretold the avocation
or line of business endeavor each one of
the class of 1906 would be engaged in.
Some of the prophesies were of a
humorous and improbable nature, but
these features lent interest to them.
The class yell followed the prophecy
and the closing musical number was a
chorus IS the school. Following this,
diplomas were presented by the prin-
cipal, o. E. Wells.
Miss Anna Schoenfeldt, who right
fully belonged to this class, entered the
school late and was unable to complete
her studies. She, however, will be
given her diploma later.

WERHEIM- MANSON.
Marriage Ceremony Performed
Wednesday Morning.

Carl Werheim and Miss Ella Maxson
were united in marriage Wednesday
morning last, at the hour of ten, at the
home of the brides parents, Mr. and
Mrs. ID. M. Maxson, No. S12 Warren
street. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Francis Brigham, pastor of
the First M. E. church, in the parlor,
in front of bank of palms and cut
flowers. A rendition of Lohengrin's
wedding march, by Mrs. Geo. Maxson,
preceded the ceremony and after the
solemn words had been spoken which
made the young couple one, she played
Mendelssohn's wedding march. Miss
Marie Maxson, neice of the bride,
acted as ring bearer and Miss Florence
Werheim, neice of the groom, was
flower girl. The parlor and sitting
room were very prettily deco ated with
palms, ferns and cut flowers and other
ornamentations The ceremony was
witnessed by relatives and few friends
only. Following the solemnization of
the event, wedding breakfast was
served and then reception to friends
was held. The young couple received
many handsome and costly presents of
chinaware, silverware, ETC.
At noon of the same day they de-
parted on their wedding trip, visiting
Milwaukee, Chicago and points in
Michigan and will return about July
1st, when they will make their tempor-
ary home with the brides parents on
Warren street.
Both Mr.. and Mrs Werheim are num-
bered among Wausau's most popular
young people and both are the re-
cipients of many congratulatory ex-
pressions from their hosts of friends.
The groom is the son of ex-Assembly-
man and Mrs Geo. Werheim, Sr., and
is secretary of the Werheim Mfg. CO.
His life from childhood to manhood
was speat in this city. He is q young
man of exemplary habits and having
had business training in the office of
the above mentioned company, he is
qualified to grapple with the perplex-
ing problems of life and cope with
them. He has successful career be-
fore him.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. M. Maxson, who are numbered
among Wausau's most highly esteemed
citizens. She is native of Illinois,
but spent most of her life in Iroquois,
S. d., and in Oshkosh. After leaving
the public schools of the latter city
four years ago, she came to Wausau
and eLtered the Wausau Business col
lege, and was graduated from the COM
mercial department of that institution.
She then accepted position as stem
ographer in the local office of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Ins. Co. as
stenographer and later took like posi-
ton in the office of the Wausau Land
Co. which she held until a few weeks
ago. Mrs. Werheim is a young lady
possessed of many endearing qualities,
prominent among which are a lovable
disposition and refinement with its
many accompanying principles.
Those who attended the wedding
from out of town were Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Maxson, of Dunbar; Mr.. and Mrs
Edward Maxson of Stratford.

SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER.

The twelve lawn benches, placed a
week ago on the county square, are
highly appreciated by the public. At
the time.the county board public prop
erty committee ordered the benches,
it was done in spirit of experiment.
The intention is to see how they take"
with the people and whether the right
of their use will be abused. The first
or defacing or carrying away one of
these benches, the person or persons
will be arrested and prosecuted. An
other practice which will not be tolerat-
ed will be distributing peanut shells
around the benches or expectorating
tobacco juice on the side walk in front
of them. You will find human hogs
no matter where you go, and in this
matter every public spirited citizen
ought to take hand and see that the
seats and their surroundings are kept
clean Providing the citizens of Wau-
sau make proper use of these seats it is
the intention of the public property
committee to next spring order walk
constructed around the four sides of
the square between the two inner rows
of trees. Then additional benches will
be placed facing these walks. This is
a matter which the civic Improvement
department of the Ladies' Literary club
has h"en pushing tor some time and
they nave succeeded in getting start
in the right direction. Parks in other
cities are plentifully provided with
benches and as the county square is the
only centrally located park Wausau
has, it should be likewise arranged. As
we said before it is a matter every cit
izen should interest himself in.

ordinary person. The characters of
the countries bordering the Mediter
ranean sea have been given promi-
nent place in history by poet and
historian, while the Northland's tradi-
tions have been neglected.
Violet Benedict, who impersonated
some of the characters in the immortal
Shakespeare's Tanning of the Shrew,"
gave an excellent portrayal OF the char
acters she assumed and displayed much
talent in histrionic ability. 1t was an
excellent number.
Walter Fromm's subject was Adams
and Jefferson" The lives, characters,
deeds, purposes, etc., of the second
president of the United States and of
the sage of Monticello were clearly
given in clear cut expression which
proved of interest to all.
Gertrude Wawrzyniak, by way of
practical illustration, showed how the
quickening of thought action might be
cultivated and improved among chill
dren of the rural schools, whose minds
are dulled by their farm surroundings.
She illustrated this by little games in
which number of balls played prom
inent part, using as subjects six little
girls. 1t was plainly discernable to the
audience that by the methods she en-
ployed, mathematics at least are made
more comprehensive for the young stu
dent and the study becomes more
attractive to them.
The seventh number was debate on
the question, Resolved, that foreign
languages should not be taught in the
country schools" The affirmative side
of the question was presented by Ragna
EIlingson and Eleanor Bradfish, while
arguments for the negative were made
by Louise Empey and Marie R1nke.
The affirmative eontended that since
the English language is the mother
tongue of this country and destined to
become the universal language of the
world, time should not be wasted in
the country schools in teaching foreign
languages, which is often done by an
incompetent teacher who often times is
unfamiliar with the languages he at
tempts to teach. The negative held
that the knowledge of such languages
is helpful to students in more ways
than one, principal OF which is in
enhanced opportunities of securing
positions IN the commercial lines, which
hasS 20 deal with foreign neople. No
decision was m.sde.

Seven years have passed since the
doors of the County Training School
for Teachers were first thrown open for
the reception of students and with the
class which was graduated last Thurs
day evening, a total of IT'S students
have been prepared in this school for
the vocations they are to follow, and
been given their diplomas. The class
of last Thursday was the largest in the
history of the school and numbered
twenty-five young men and women.
The past year has been very success
fnl one in the school and the faculty has
every reason to feel elated over the re-
suits of its efforts.
The commencement exercises were
held in the assembly room of the high
school on Thursday evening last, and
Judging from the number of people
present, as compared with like exercises
of the school in past years, our citizens
are manifesting more interest in the
work of this institution yearly. AS to
the work being done and the merits of
the school, we refer our readers to the
work of the schools historian given be-
low. The large assembly room was
filled to overfowing on the occasion
a representative audience of Wausau's s
representative people. The decorations
and ornamentations were very taste
fully arranged. The class had chosen
as its motto, Every country has its
Utopia" The class colors were
lavender and cream; the class flower,
the American beauty and the poet
selected was James Russell Lowell.
PROGRAM
The program was an excellent one.
Some of the orations were of exception
al merit and every number displayed
talent on the part of those who present
ed such numbers to the audience. We
wish it were possible for us to give a
more extended notice of the exercises,
but conditions existing with this weeks
issue forbids it. Neither can we at
tempt to give any extended notice OF
the musical numbers, other than to say
that each was well rendered, received
liberal applause and showed excellent
taste in selection.
The first oration was given by Miss
Elsie Kamke, whose subject was myths
of the Northland." She told of some of
the superstitions that nave ever attend
ed the early history of what is now
Scandinavia, of the old Viking kings
and their deeds. She gave sort of
comparison between the gods and god
desses of the northland and those of
early Greece. In mythology the ones
of one country compare favorably with
those of the other. There appears to
be co-relative tie binding them to-
gether Miss Kamkes subject partakes
OF the myths OF a people whose early
history is given little attention by the

Unknown Friends.

There are many people who have used
Chamberlain Collie Cholera and
DiarrhOea Remedy with splendid re-
suits, but who are unknown because
they have hesitated about giving a
lication. These people, however, are
none the less friends of this remedy.
They have done much toward making
it a household word by their personal
recommendations to friends and neigh
bors. 1t is good medicine to have in
the home and is widely known for it's
cnres,Of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel
trouble. Fo: sale by w. w. Albers.

Miss Martha B. Rhodes, who was
chosen class historian, has kindly fur
nished us with history of the school
which is here gwen:
HISTORICAL.
A year ago the alumni association
elected historian whose duty it is to
keep history of each individual mem
ber of the alumni, as well as the history
of the school itself.
The following is q short statement of
the result of tziS Investigation: The
statistics are taken from the reports of
the class of 1905, no other class having,
at present, complete report. We ex-
pect, in the near future, to be able to
give complete report of each class.
The other classes, we expect, will have
better reports as the schools of longer
terms seem to be held by early gradu-
ates-and of all these earlier graduates
only three have failed to give any ser
vice o.the county in the line of teaching

Fred Smith, stranger in the city,
was sent to Jail Saturday morning to
serve sixty days in lieu of paying fine
of $50 and costs upon being found guilty
OF the charge of having carried con-
cealed weapons. The evening before,
he entered the Old English Chop House
and ordered supper, which was served

out of the door without settling for his
meal. In the wrangle which followed
between himself and the proprietor,
Maurice Dalton, Smith pulled a revol-
yer from his pocket and is said to have
made threats of puncturing the hide of
