DIVORCES.

Mary Sigl, of the town of Frankfort,
was granted a divorce from her hus-
band. Paul, Saturday. They were mar
ried in Green Bay in 1898 and are not
possessed of any children. In her petit
ton the woman recites numerous in
stances of her husbands iDfidelity,
which makes as interesting reading as
the Thaw case, for those who like to
read such stuff. She was granted 81 600
alimony.
Lena and Paul Denzen, of the town
of Holton, were legally separated the
same day, judgment being entered in
favor of the former. They we're mar
ried in Dorchester, Clark county, in
July, a year ago. The complainant
cites that her husband compelled her to
live in howell unfit for habitation and
seldom visited her, even when her
health was in delicate condition. His
love for her grew colder day by day and
he has never called 10 see the child

A LUCKY ESCAPE.

This morning, at about ten O'Clock,
Fred j. DeVoe, manager of the Mara
thon County Granite company, and j..
l.. Komers, proprietor of the Leader
store, were riding south on Third street
in the formers rig. When they reached
Levenhagen's garage, the horse was
turned on to the street car track, on
account of there being several automo-
biles in front of the garage; at this time
a street car came up behind them and
an automobile on the east iside of the
street; the latter frightened the horse
and he turned the carriage directly
across the track of the street railway.
The motorman of the trolly failed to
stop his car and it struck the DeVoe
rig, throwing out both of the gentle
men named. The horse made frantic
efforts to run away but Mr.. DeVoe
hung to the lines and stopped the ami
NAL about block away from the acct
dent. Both Mr.. DeVoe and and Mr..
Komers were bruised and badly shaken
up and the rig had broken wheel and
was otherwise damaged. The accident
might have been more serious and all
are delighted that it was not. The
driver of the street car must have lost
his head otherwise there was no reason
why his car should not have been
stopped and the accident avoided.

STRIKE EFFECTS FELT HERE.

The strike of commercial telegraphers
which is sweeping over the country and
which threatens to tie up the telegraph
business for long time, unless settled,
is being felt in Wausau. The strike
began last Thursday by tie-up in a
few cities. Since then it has become
more general and it is quite likely that
every member of the telegraphers'
union will be called out. AS the local
operator in the Western Union Office is
not a member of the union, there is of
course no strike here, but it has been
impossible to get messages sent out,
because there is no one to receive them
in other cities. The effect of the strike
is felt the most among our business
men, but in a way its influence will
have bearing upon most everyone
who might desire to forward or expects
to receive message. Local baseball
fans must use the long distance tele-
phone for base ball news and Janitor
Belize at the court house has had no
weather sent him since the strike began.
1t is bad state of affairs, but can only
be settled by the companies and their
employees.

from his summer cottage on Plum lake
and tells of having revealed in buckle
berry pie with prodigality no other
editor in the country ever attempted.
The huckleberry crop he reports as be-
ing something immense and the other
members of the camp, whose appetite
for that kind OF huckleberry pastry had
been somewhat satiated, appeared to
put in their whole time picking this lus-
cious fruit and having it manufactured
into pie for the benefit of the editor.
The other scribes of the town, who have
listened TO the story are longing for the
day when they 20 will be thus treated,
and feel that were such chance pre-
sented them they conld surpass Lambs
dissertation on roast pig. but the theme
they would choose would be buckle

journey to Plum; the huckleberry pie
will be forthcoming even if we have

boys between the ages of 9 and Is years,
prizes will be given. The teams must

parade.
At present, on account of the tele-
graphers' strike, reports of games are
delayed and in some instances not re-

to give the correct standings of the
clubs, but at present they are in about
the following order:
Freeport, Wausau, La Crosse, Osh-
kosh, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Madison,
Fond du Lac.
Wausau's percentage at present is
.607.
This week the directors of the club sue

to the White Sox of Chicago. The price
is 81, 900, of which $500 is to be paid at
once and the balance next season if
Lang succeeds in holding position on

ownership is to revert to the Wausau
team and the balance of the purchase

has done better than any other team in
the league, two players having been

of selling Brady and McAuley before
the end of the season.

After the Fond du Lac series was
finished here last week the team went
to Eau Claire and won the first game
easily. Manager Lynch of the Eau
Claire team tried to work an old game
of his by claiming that two games
should have been played-a postponed
game and regular one-and as Wau-
sau did not get into the city for the first
one, he claimed it was forfeited to Eau
Claire. The Wausan management had
no trouble with the president of the
league in having the game played in its
regular order The following day was
a bad one for our boys, they dropping
two close contests, but on Friday the
tables were reversed and Wausau took
two.
in the La Crosse series following, our
boys have already won two and lost
| none. Miller is pitching this afternoon
and if he holds up his clip there is
/ another victory in sight for us. The
home team is again in second place,
but the results of the next few days
may change our position. A series with
Freeport on that strong teams home

The next games at home will begin
Aug 20, when Eau Claire comes here.

ANOTHER ASSAULT.

Recent events in Marathon county
indicate that a well organized vigilance
committee could perform good stroke
of business here. Since early spring
| there has been a series of attacks made
upon girls at different points in the
county, and so far only one party has
been found guilty and is serving time.
The latest crime of this nature was
committed yesterday afternoon south
of Hatley. Rose, a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Sobusch, who live south of
the village, was passing along a road
when she was attacked by a man who
followed and caught up with her on the
way. The girl is eleven years OF age.
The man succeeded in tearing some of
the garments off her body and tried to
stife her cries by placing his hand over
her mouth. A team came along driven
by a,boy, and hearing the team APP
preaching the fellow released the girl
ald ran away. The matter was soon
reported in the village and the
Hatley telegraph operator notified
the operator here that the man
was headed this way. Not waiting for
any further summons, Sheriff O'Connor
started east for the purpose of meeting
and arresting the fellow. In this he
was fortunately successful. Seeing
tough looking character coming out of
house near Gallon station, he stopped
the man and little sweating" indi-
Gated that the fellow told a doubtful
and suspicious story and he was taken
in tow and brought to this city and
locked up. This morning the girl was
brought in by her parents and the prsi-
oner was produced and she at once
identified him as the man who attacked
her.
A complaint was made by the parents,
which was served, and the fellow was
brought into court this forenoon. He
gave the name of Chas. Meyer and
claims his home is in Wittenberg. He
is young man, not any too bright, and
is dressed as laborer. When the girl
was brought into his presence he adj
mitted having seen her before. His
examination was postponed until Satur-
day, he being placed under bail of
$1,000 for his appearance at that time.
Last evening after his arrest, dozen
or more young men went down to the
Jail to see him, but were not admitted.
He caught sight of them through the
cell window and thought they were a
lynching party. He trembled with
fear for some time after their departure.
The police are today looking for
another man who appeared at the rear
of one of our hotels last evening and at
tempted to take liberties with a number
of little girls. The girls succeeded in
attracting the attention of some women
who drove the fellow OF.

the floors; 8 large fancy colored win

thereby adding much to the light of
the building. All this is contemplated
by the officers and directors and if no
changes are made in the plans the
work will be completed in time for the
annual meeting which is held on the
second Monday in September.
There is no telling what may happen
during the next week. Wausau is
filled with set of energetic, progress
sive business men; the clubs, officers
and directors cannot be excelled when
it comes 10 being progressive. Should
there be the least show to secure
enough to pay the bills, the plans
would be changed in twinkling; the
billiard room would be raised another
story and the hall made longer; the
ventilation greatly improved; dining
room and kitchen placed on the upper
floor; the card room fitted up with all
conveniences and reading room at
tached thereto. Of course all this
would require a good deal of money,
and il may be forthcoming. But as it
is, when completed Wausau will have
one of the handsomest club buildings
in Wisconsin.

guine expectations of its organizers,
which was to promote the business in
terests of the city of Wausau and COM
munity and the social enjoyment of the
members thereof. 1t has kept the bnsi-
ness men of Wausau in touch with
each other; it has been the only place
in the city where, each evening, one
could be reasonably sure of meeting
the business men and where strangers
could be taken and entertained and
made acquainted. Wausau is grow
ing city and it needs an up-to-date club
house such as the city has and the
membership should be largely increased
the coming year and from all indica-
lions strong move will be made to do
this and as consequences the coming
season will be active socially, in club
circles.
The officers and directors of the club
who are just now boosting things are:
President-C. S. Curtis.
Vice j. Murray.
Secretary-Fay Marshall.
Treas. -Henry E. Smith.
Directors-B. Heinemann, John
Manser, Harry Heinemann, George
Sexmith and j. N. Manson.
The work Of laying the foundation
walls for enlarging the card room was
commenced yesterday morning.

The Wausau Club house is, at present,
having general overhauling. In fact,
the improvements contemplated are by
far the most extensive since the erec-
ton of the building in 1901. Work was
commenced in the bowling alley a
short time since and now i. has very
handsome metal ceiling, which is to be
painted; the side walls will be repaired
and redecorated and the radiators and
heat coils gilded, and when all is COM
pleted, the clubs bowling alley will be
very pretty and inviting. The alleys
were recently polished, leveled and put
in excellent condition by an expert
from Chicago, and it is said that no bet
ter can be found anywhere. Players
are enabled to make very high scores
on the alleys and exciting games may
be expected the coming season.
Cement floors are to be put in the
two basement rooms which have here
tofore been used for storage purposes
and at times for serving refreshments
for parties. The intention at present is
to convert these rooms into kitchen
and dining room, so that caterer can
come in at any time and serve refresh
ments for parties, or perhaps arrange
to have lunches and meals served at all
hours to club members. In the past
the club has been considerably incon-
yenienced by not having dining room
and kitchen. The rooms will be hand
somely finished and be made valuable
additions to the club. A cement floor
will also be laid in the room in which is
the heating plant.
One of the most important changes to
be made is in the card room, on the
first floor In this room large num-
Der of our business men meet each
evening to play whist. 1t has proven
to be too small, lily ventilated and
poorly lighted one of the worst fea-
lures has been that when the club build
ing was given over TO social events, no
one could enter or depart from this

is proposed to enlarge the card room,
put in an outside entrance and install
sufficient windows so that the oldest
whist friend can distinguish his cards
in any part of the room. Besides the
system of ventilation will be what is
known as forced ventilation" and the
air can be changed every few minutes
be added.
The parlors, club room and dancing
hall are all to come in for their share of
the Improvements. They will all be re-
decorated in the most approved and
