the latest one billed to come this

The city clerk expects to have the
assessors books turned over to him
within a few days, when he will begin
the work of making up the tax roll.
This work is no child's play and will
keep him busy up to the first of next
year. He must take the amount turned

each one must pay.
Mrs. Emily Chellis is suffering from
the fracture of several ribs in her right
side, sustained over week ago.
While visiting at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. f. A. Sampson she sat down on
arr organ stool and the stool tipped
over. She struck either the seat or
one of the legs of the stool and was in
iured. She continued to get around
the house and thought the pains would
soon pass away, but as they continued
she consulted a physician on Wednes-
day who found that several ribs had
been broken. Since the broken bones
have been set she has been feeling quite
comfortable.

Mrs. Otto Baultke was tried Wednes-
day in Justice Jones court on charge
of theft. The complaint was made by
Geo. thinner, who conducts the Ben
Hammond farm in the town of Wausau.
The complainant alleged that Mrs.
Baultke had entered the orchard on the
farm and stolen a number of apples.
1t was figured out that the value of the
apples alleged to have been stolen, the
present market price used as basis,
was less than five cents. The woman
was discharged.
All the material for the drive well
system has been shipped here and the
contractor, j. q. Shaw, of Sioux City,
Ia, is expected to arrive here soon.
The work has been delayed, so Mr..
Shaw writes, through the fact that it
was necessary tor him to have his
engines repaired and this work has
taken longer than he at first thought.
1t is quite likely that some of his
machinery will arrive before the end of
this week. Up to the present time no
material has been received for the ex-
tension mains.
The executive board of the Marathon
County Agricultural society has decided
to erect another barn on the fair
grounds. 1t will be located near the
show barns and will be sufficiently
large to accommodate eighteen animals.
1t will be used for the stabling of horses
exclusively. The increased number of
entries in the speed program and a
larger number of exhibits ir the horse
department has made it necessary that
more stable room be acquired. The
barn will perhaps be used for both
draft and fast horses this fall.
The water in the Wisconsin and Rib
rivers has been at very low stage for
some time. Only for the floods from
the Tomahawk dam, which are made
daily, to bring down a log drive'on the
Wisconse, there would be little water
left in the old creek. Where the
McLeary bridge crosses Big Rib the
water is usually quite deep, yet at pres
ent over half of the river bed is dry
and one can wade across without get
ting his knees wet. This condition is
due to the long continued drouth. The
rainfall has been less than three inches
in over month and still crops don't
look bad. The harvesting of early
grains has begun and the farmer is
having fine weather.

they stood by their guns. For en-

could find in the cartridge boxes Of

tied a handkerchief to his ramrod
and went over TO the movable hemp
bale breastworks Of Gen. Rains, reb-
ell commander Of the investing forces.
"Jellison was received by Gen
Rains himself. who asked eagerly Sc
Col. Mulligan had surrendered or was
ready TO surrender. Jellison replied
that he didn't know. he didn't come
from Col. Mullican, and couldn't
speak for him He represented only
himself. and as he was out Of am

demand for the surrender OF the
Union forces and sent h 20 Col. Mul-

The latter delivered the message
to Mulligau. secured another gun and
more ammunition. and again opened
on the rebs. In later days Jellisou
admitted this was very irregular. but
he Contended that Gen. Rains did not
formally accept his surrender. did
not take his parole. did not even ask
him 20 return. So ne felt free. after

a belief Ia the ranks that nothing
could stop such an advance. Mulligau
