STREET R. R. EARNINGS.

The Wausau Street Railroad Co. has
filed report with the city clerk, as the
law requires, showing the receipts of
the company since it started business
abou. seven months ago. The com
paDy pays q per cent. tax on its
earnings, the same being divided be-
tween the city. town of Weston and
village of Schofield according to the
mileage in each. The report shows
that in the short time the comany has
been doing business it has received the
remarkably large sum of Si8. .902 IA,
which is a surprisingly strong showing
for new road, with only 5.38 miles of
line in osteration. The tax is divided
as follows:
City, 3 81 miles. s..,.....-..........S364.l5 10
weston, .53 .................. l0.0l
Schofield, .9S " ................... 9l.79
From the above figures it would APP
pear that the town of Weston is not
getting its proportion of taxes, but this
is accounted for in this way: The
state law requires that cities and villages
shall receive two-thirds more tax on the
gross earnings than do townships
This is tie last year that the law will be
effective. Hereafter, under new law,
railroad property will be assessed ac-
cordlug to its valuation. During the
summer and fall several men, sent here
by the state tax commission, have gone
over the line and made report of the
valuation of the company's property
Their figures undoubtedly will be used
as a basis for taxation next year.
The first car passed over the line
about May n, but cars did not begin to
run regularly until about June 1st.
Ever since that time there has been
steady patronage and on some days,
notably circus, base ball and fair days,
the traffic was so heavy that the COM
pany's employees found difficulty in
handling it, All doubt as to the line
being paying one has vanished

MRS. TELLING.

Mrs. Mary Telling died Wednesday
evening st her home. 20S Washington
street, at about the hour of 9:30 She
had been i'll for about two weeks with
pneumonia. Death came peacefully,
she sinking into her last sleep while
her children, who were at her bedside,
we're hardly conscious that she had
breathed her last.
Deceased was born in the state OF
New York. June Is. 1925, and she was
therefore in her eighsy-third year at the
tim3 of death. When twenty-three
years of age she came to this state and
settled in Fond du Lac, residing there
two years and then moving to Stevens
Point. At the latter place she began
teaching school which she followed for
several years. She was married in 1856
TO Ernest Telling and in 1857 they
moved to Wausaa. Mr.. Telling died
about twenty-five years ago.
Mrs. Telling was one of the honored
members of the Presbyterian church.
She bad been connected with it since
its organization, and in the early years
when its support was limited she con-
tributed much of her time in keeping
up its life. She and her mother, Mrs
Mary Kimbali, Mrs. Eliza Gouldsberry
and Mrs Mary Poor were the charter
members. The church was organized
June 3. 1858, and for most of the five
years following the place of worship
was in dwelling house on Forest
street. 1t was papered with news
papers and small stand was used as a
pulpit. In an adjoining room was a
shoe shop. With the departure of Rev.
Chas. +. Halsey in 1868, no more SER
vices were held for five years. In
1868 the church was re-organized and
services were continued year
Then followed another five years
of slumber, when there were no serv-
ices. On Aug.2, 1874, at meeting
held in the old white school building on
jefferson St.. between Fourth and Fifth
streets the church was reorganized and
the four ladies above mentioned were
all that was left of the original member
ship. Since that time there have been
regular services. Thus it is seen that
Mrs. Telling had been connected with
the local church for nearly fifty years.
Deceased was woman of very high
character whose ideals and teachings
are very worthy of emulation. Her
life will be guidance and inspir-
alton for others.
Mrs. Telling is survived by five chill
dren, Albert L., Frances, Mrs. Chas.
Deichsel and Mrs. Fred Kimball, all of
Wausau, and Ernest w. of Bessemer,
Mich.
The funeral services were held Satur-
day afternoon: from the church which
she had SO long honored, the pastor,
Rev. S. N. Wilson, conducting the same.
The elders of the church acted as pail
bearers. The floral tributes were many
and of handsome design.
