Mckinley block, corner of Third and
Mcclellan streets. If
Ernst Ringle, of Rib Falls, announces
in this issue of the PILOT that he is a
candidate for county treasurer.
Albert Ladusire and Miss Emma
Braatz, both of Schotield, were married
Saturday afternoon, the Rev. F. Wer-
hahn, of this city, performing the cere-
mOny.
Miss French of Wausau is visiting at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs +. w. Rogers.
Monday, while stepping into boat at
Hoover & Winger's boat livery 20 cross
the lake she slipped and fell. By cling
ing to the boat she kept her head above
water and with the assistance of a
couple of ladies who were standing
near, escaped with no further mishap
than an impromptu bath The visit
across the lake was postponed Minoc-
qua Times.
Some of the republican candidates
for nomination for legislative offices
appear to have deviated from the
prated republican principle of support
ing home industries At least two are
circulating cards and other printed
matter advertising themselves, which
have an imprint showing the work to
have been done by the Clark Engrav
ing Co. of Milwaukee. The work is no
better than could be obtained from the
average print shop in Marathon
county, and we dare say was done no
cheaper than any of our home printers
would have charged. 1t merely shows
the inconsistencies of republican prin-
ciples.
Members of the Liederkranz and their
| families were entertained Wednesday
evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs
+. Ritter on Grand Ave. The party
was in honor of Mrs. H. Pagel, of
Stevens Point and Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Strasse, of Milwaukee, visitors
in the city. Cinch playing was one of
the forms of amusement offered and
Mesdames Pagel and Fred Mohr
were given ladies prizes, while
Messrs. H. Lemke and r. Strasse
won the gentlemen's prizes. Follow
| ing this there were vocal solos and
chorus selections. Arnold Won der Aue
of New York City, was present and
favored those present with several
vocal selections.
The severest storm of the season
passed over the lower part of the
county on Thursday afternoon and
evening last. The rain was accom-
panied by hail and wind and worked
| considerable damage. In some places
| it is said to have assumed the proper
tions of cyclone and to have de-
stroyed crops and uprooted trees.
| There was no rain in this vicinity until
evening, when about fourteen drops fell.
| The heavens to the south of us looked
very threatening and it was apparent
that violent storm was raging not
many miles away. A peculiar feature
was that no thunder or electrical dis
play accompanied the storm.
The supply of rock purchased bv the
city last winter has been crushed and
the crusher is at present being supplied
with what has since been purchased,
and as the amount being received daily
is very limited it looks as if macadam-
izing operations must be suspended for
the present. The crew has also cleaned
off the balance of rock on the island,
bringing it down to a level with the
Northwestern tracks, and the rock in
piles, purchased of farmers, is being
hauled into town. AS this is the busy
season with farmers, very little can be
received from that source. More rock
has been crushed this year than ever
before, and if the city still had good
supply on hand great record in road
building would be assured.
The team of Mrs. j. Kolter, of the
town of Stettin, ran away Thursday
| forenoon. The animals were left at
the west end of Scott street when they
became frightened and dashed up that
street to the corner of La Sale and
made a circle, coming back to Sixth,
and, turning into Mcclellan, were
caught near the residence of Frank
Ross. The only damage resulting was
the scattering of the contents of the
wagon, which contained among other
things large quantity of black berries.
These were strewed along Scott street
as far as the railroad tracks When
caught, the horses had done no damage
Numerous children were playing in
the streets over which they passed and
yet none of them were injured
