ASKED TO RESIGN.

Following the Sunday school in st.
Paul's church last Sunday, the trustees
called a business meeting of the mem
bers 10 take action intended to heal the
wounds which have been opened in
that church. Though all of the voting
mt mbers were not there, still the school
room in which the meeting was held
was crowded and over 800 were present.
So that there should not be repetition
OF the riotous meeting of Feb. q, the
trustees asked the chief of police for
several patrolmen to keep order and
the chief and two of his officers were
present. Only once did it appear that
their services would be needed, but
cool heads preserved quiet. The first
business of Importance was taking
vote on the recent action of the trustees
in discharging Hans Herfurih, the
teacher. 1t was found that the usual
manner of settling questions by rising
vote would not do and ballots were
prepared and voted. The result was
that the action of the trustees was
sustained by vote of 1913 to "a. A
discussion followed as to the best
methods for bringing harmony back
into the ranks OF the church, when
suggestions were made that the pastor
also be retired from the church. Henry
Voelz, one of the trustees, then pre-
sented resolution asking that the
pastor be asked to resign. A vote on
the same resulted in III for the resolu-
ton and iO6 against it.
A little later communication from
the pastor was read, asking for two
months vacation. This was granted.
Then a resolution was read, which had
been drawn up by Hilmer Schmidt at the
request of other members of the congre-
CATION, providing for the expulsion of
certain members who had participated
in the recent fight. This came near
starting another row, but this was
averted by the resolution being tabled.
Rev. Sohaer will remain here until
after the Easter services, when he will
confirm large class. He will then go
to the Pacific coast for visit with two
of his daughters. He will not commit
himself by any statement as to his
future course, but those in touch with
him are of the opinion that he will
secure another pastorate within the next
few months and resign the one here
which he has filled for eighteen years.
They say it was his intention to leave
Wausau anyway.

clared, leaving surplus profits of S35i.51

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

A meeting for teachers in the north
western part of the county was held at
Athens Oh Saturday. March l6, by Supt.
Farrell. The meeting opened shortly

the teachers from the village and the
surrounding country, many OF the
towhspeople were present. Two class
exercises, including large number of
the children of the village, were con-
Quoted by the Misses Walters and
Rhodes. Topics were presented by
Messrs. Farrell, Wells, Hulteh and
Bonell, and the Misses Phlughoeit and
Bohrer. At five o'clock the convention
was adjourned and the majority went
to the Rietbrock farm to make them
selves acquainted with the equipment
of a model stock barn We are indtbt-
ed to the courtesy of Messrs. Erbach

Each visitor was treated to as much

Much of the practice teaching this
year has been Gone as substitute work
for teachers who were i'll or called

spected there is on the other hand,
great value to be derived from the en-
tire charge of room for day or week

being done in this way.

PICTURE EXHIBIT FOR THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
afternoons and evenings of this week a
picture exhibit will be held in the
vacant building at the corner of Third
and Mcclellan streets, consisting of a
fine collection from the Braun and
Clement art publishers, of New York
City.
Many of the people of Wausau have
become deeply interested during the
past year in the movement begun by
the club women to secure pictures for
the public schools, and the promoters
of the worE have been greatly assisted
by public spirited citizens, so that al
ready number of very beautiful pic
lures have been secured.
In every purchase, an endeavor has
been made to secure an excellent re-
production of we'll known master
piece, suitably and artistically framed.
Many of the pictures already possessed
are from the above firm, and the en-
thusiastic admiration they have every
where called forth, occasioned an effort
on the part of the ladies interested, to
secure for exhibition, as great variety
as possible, of Braun and Clement pic
lures directly from the New York house.
This was made possible only through
the generous cooperation of our local
art dealer, A. w. Mumm, by whom the
exhibit is secured. Mr.. Mumm gives
the ladies the benefit of the merchants
discount, and all the proceeds received
from admission fees and commissions
upon picture sales will be used to aug
ment the picture fund raised during the
year.
Pictures will be sold at cost price to
all school committees who desire to
purchase pictures for the schools, and
at material discount to individual
buyers.
An opportunity is thus afforded to all
art lovers, to secure for themselves, or
for the public schools, these choice re-
productions of the works of the masters,
old and modern, at much lower cost
than possible when dealing independ-
emily with the firm.
An admission fee of ten cents will be
charged. Refreshments will be served
on the afternoons and evenings of each
day. The public is cordially invited to
take advantage of this exhibit during
its establishment in the city.

BIDS REJECTED.

A special committee of the county
board met Friday and opened bids for
the construction of the county poor
house, authorized to be built at the last
session of the county board. There
were in all about twenty bids and all of
the bidders were present. The special
committee decided to examine the bids
behind closed doors to the exclusion of
everyone else, and the amount of each
bid, the names of the bidders, the DELHI
erations of the committee, etc, cannot
be given the public cn account of the
action taken by the committee in re-
ieeting all bids. From information
given by contractors on the subject, it
is assumed that if any of the bids were
to be accepted, the building would cost
the county over $4,000, whereas only
$50, 900 was appropriated by the board,
and $3.50 has already been paid for
plans.
The bids were submitted in various
lorms-some for the building alone,
some for the heating, some for the
plumbing and others for various other
parts OF the construction, but the CON-
mittee, it seems, could not figure on
any of them so as TO get out for the
amount provided, or less. 1t was there
fore decided to reject all and the archi-
tect was instructed to remodel his plans
so that building can be built for sum
within the specified limit. This will be
done by cutting out several rooms and
making the building smaller. 1t is ex-
pected that the architect will have the
changes made within few days, when
amended bids will be received and
opened on March 9th.

NEW PACIFIC FLEET.

Aside from the very unlikely con-
tingency Of war with Japan, it is an
excellent thing TO equip the waters of
the Pacific with a large and ready

do. Not in the history of the coast has
there ever been an adequate repre-

the tremendous growth of commercial
life demands recognition of the one
biggest and most authoritative kind
The combination of the fleets of tne
Asiatic and home coasts, under three
vice-admirals, with plenty of vessels
and the establishment Of coaling sta
tons and supply depots, is patent rec
ognition of wonderful advance made in
this part Of the nation in late years and
is due to this realization far more than
is is to any probability of war in the
Far East
We are glad of it, since it puts the
Pacific coast line nearer on a par with
the Atlantic and expresses the nation
al thought in an expansive and con-
tributory fashion at once gratifying
to the enterprise of the west and COM
mendable to the government in Its
larger sphere of care taking and pro-
tective administration. The impor-

mense and must be conserved in every
conceivable way from now on; and
perhaps the best evidence of its
enormous value is found in this far
reaching provision for it's safety.
