Municipal court took an adjournment
Friday morning, the jurors being ex-
cused until Friday morning next. Dur
ing the week two cases were tried, in
each case only one witness being intro
duced for the defense and but few for
the state, consequently each was OF
short duration There are still a few
criminal cases on the calendar.
Clothes line thieves have commenced
operations in the city again. During
the absence this summer of certain
party, who has come under suspicion,
no depredations of this kind were re-

fenced to serve nine years and nine
months in the state prison. Mrs. Ida

Some parties on Friday last found
thirteen bottles of patent nostrum
known as Borolyptol near the washout
bridge on Grand Ave. The same was
turned over to the sheriff, but inquiry
at local drug stores failed to show that
any such thing had been stolen here.
| Twelve of the bottles were in a case,
another partly full together with an
empty whiskey bottle, was lying near
by. How the bottles came there and
where they came from is as deep
mystery as is ''How old is Ann?"
The Elks' minstrel performance at the
opera house Thursday evening was at
tended by a fair sized audience. That
the audience was not larger was per-
haps due to the short time in which
tickets were sold and not proper
amount of advertising. 1t was decided
to give another performance on Friday
evening and another hasty sale of
| tickets was made, with the result that
the receipts were not large. However,
neat little sum of the proceeds will be
| donated to st. Mary's hospital, the
cause for which the performances were
given.
The walls of the Wausau Loan and
Trust Co.'s building at the corner of
Fourth and Jackson streets were com.
pleted Saturday, the event being
marked by the workmen placing fir
tree, decorated with red, white and
blue ribbons, on top of the southwest
corner of the building. This is said to
be an old German custom, the origin of
which has been lost in the evolution of
time. 1t is not likely that the roof will
be placed on the building this fall, as
was originally intended. The contrac-
tors will not take the responsibility of
any bad results which might come from
putting on the roof in cold weather
The owners don't feel liae assuming
the risk. Consequently the building
will not be completed within contract
time. The delay was occasioned by the
non-shipment of material when it was
most needed.
