TORE UP HIS CONTRACT.

A contract was given the Continental
Bridge company of Chicago, last
Wednesday morning, for the ccnstruc-
ton of a bridge across Trappe
river between the towns of Texas and
Hewitt. The county board bridge
committee met the day before and went
out to where the bridge is to be built,
to act in conjunction with the two town
boards IN examining bids and award
ing contract When the committee
arrived it found that the contract had
already been let, bids having been
opened about an hour previous TO the
committees arrival. Three bids had
been submitted, that of the Wisconsin
Bridge and Iron Co. of 81 ,067 being the
lowest and hich company was given
the contract by the town officers.
Accompanying the committee was a
representative of the Continental
Bridge Co, who handed in n bid for
S96S. IL appears that there had been IA
misunderstanding as TO the time of
opening bids and as the committee was
not present, il was deemed advisable To
adjourn the meeting until the next day
for the purpose of recOnsidering the
bids The representative of the Wis
consin Bridge and Iron Co. next day,
in the presence of the committee, tore
mp his contract and the job was
awarded To the Continental Bridge Co.

COM MENDABLE PROPOSITION,

Fred DeVoe, manager of the Mar
athcn Granite Co.'S plant in the north
ern part of the city, submitted plan to
the council at last Thursdays special
session, which, if accepted, will mean
that n TEird street will be maeadam-
ized He asked for a consultation with
the street and bridge and paving com
mittees and the mayor directed that
such committees confer with Mr. De-
Voc. The latter's proposition is TO
furnish the material and haul the same
where it is needed, providing the city
furnish the road roller and the crew to
lay the macadam. The company has
an enormous amount of granite chips
up at its works which it is thought will
be sufficient to macadamize a long
stretch of street. The coarser chips
can be screened out and used for q
foundation and the finer ones for top
dressing. The rock being harder than
that used on any of oui' streets, it would
make roadway which would last a
long time without any repairs being
necessary. The object of the granite
company in having the street improved
is that the concern uses that street very
much in hauling heavy loads. A fur
ther reason is to get rid of its supply of
refuse granite.

FREED FROM PARENTAL ABUSE.

Upon complaint of neighbors, the
authorities last week were called upon
to investigate the conduct of Aug.
Steflin of the town of Texas. The
mans son, Leo, disappeared from home
and the neighbors alleged that the
father had been in the habit of treating
the boy in brutal way, without the
least provocation for so doing, and de-
manded that the boy be located. The
undersheriff found, when he visited the
Steffin farm that the father showed
very little concern as to the boy 8
whereabouts. The undersheriff, by in
quiry, found the boy at the home of
another farmer and brought him to the
city. The boy, though seventeen years
of age, is understood, and would be
taken for one much younger in years.
He related tale of cruelty practiced
upon him by his parent, which moved
every listener, and exhibited scars to
prove his story. 1t was his fathers
custom, he said, to beat him unmerci-
fully and as one act of his fathers
cruelty he told of his father knocking
him off staging when they were build
ing barn, endangering his life and in
juring him severely. The district at
torney issued warrant for Stefiin's
arrest, the complaint citing that he at
one time, not long ago, struck the boy
over the head with an AK handle, cut
ting the scalp. Steffin denied the
charge, but there was preponderence
of evidence against him.
He finally agreed to sign papers re-
leasing control of the boy and the case
against him was settled by his paying
the costs. A home has been found for
the boy, where he may pick up his
stunted growth, which no doubt has
been retarded through fear and con-
tinual abuse.

ABOUT POST CARDS.

The postmaster general has promul-
gated an order, which will go into
effect on the lst day of August, provid-
ing that the face side of a postal card
may be divided by line placed one
third of the distance from the left end
of the card and the space at the left
can be used for writing messages or
printing advertisements and the space
to the right for the address.
For years foreign countries have al
lowed messages to be written or adver-
tisements to be printed on the face as
well as on the back of postal cards but
the right has been denied in this coun-
try. Several months ago the u 5
Postal laws We're amended 50 as to give

INDIAN MASSACRE CLAIM.

l.. A. Pradt of this city, was called to
Stevens Point last week to represent a
client in claim against the govern
ment, resulting from an Indian mas
sacre which occurred in 1859 1t is
brought by Chas. N. Miltimore, an
engineer on the Wisconsin Central Ry.,
as son of and administrator of the
estate of Edwin A. Miltimore. MIR.
Pradt represented the claimant and j.
q. Thompson, assistant attorney gen.
eral, of Washington, ID. c., appeared
for the government.
On March 26, 1859, the elder Milti-
more and his family, consisting of his
wife and nine children, four of the
latter being married and accompanied
by their families, started out from Fair
banks, Ia, for Oregon. They travelled
by OK team and on Aug. 81, of the same
year, they reached canon of the Snake
river in Idaho, and were preparing to
go into camp for the night, when an
Indian rode up to them. The Indian
asked where they were going and upon
being told made reply to the effect
that they would not go to Oregon. he
got off his horse, and pretending to be
adjusting his saddle, he leveled his gun
at the elder Miltimore and shot and
killed him. Then party OF Bannock
Indians made general attack and the
mother, two sons aud two daughters
were killed. One of the latter was
baby, born enroute. The son who has
brought the claim was only twelve
years old at the time and he made his
escape by running, bullet piercing
his hat as he was escaping.
The survivors of the massacre were
taken in charge by company OF U. >.
soldiers, stationed at Camp Floyd near
Salt Lake City, and remained there
during the winter. With the exception
OF three head Of stock the Millim0res
lost everything they possessed, which
consisted of seven yokes of oxen, three
horses, two wagons, hfty head OF cattle,
camping outfit, clothing, furniture, etc.
One of the three head of stock, 3 cow,
was lead all the way from Salt Lake
City to Delavan. Wis, the following
spring and summer by the MIR. Milti-
more who has brought the claim against
the government.

TOO BIG TO PARADE.
Bnnum & Bailey's Elimination of the
Street Pageant no Longer an
Experiment

The elimination of the street parade
is no longer an experiment with the
Barnum q Bailey circus. So there will
be no parade by this circus next Thurs
day when it comes to this city. This is
the big shows third year without pre-
liminary procession, and the innovation.
the management declares, has proved a
popular and successful one from every
point of view.
A representative of the show in speak
ing of the matter recently said: THE
Barnum IL Bailey circus is literally too
big to give parade, even if it were con-
sidered desirable or necessary. As
matter of fact, there is no general de-
mand for circus parade, and every
other circus management in America
would cut it out if it was not a necessary
means of advertising their show and
arousing interest in the performances.
The remark is frequently made that the
Barnum & Eailey circus is the only
show in the world that would dare to
eliminate the parade The reason for
this is obvious.
"Barnum & Bailey do not need the
parade as means of advertising the
show or attracting the public to the cir
Gus grounds. The Barnum Il Bailey
name, its great reputation, and the fact
that the public is absolutely assured of
q superb performance, are sufficient to
crowd its tents without the questionable
aid of street display. A parade is un-
doubtedly good advertisement for
show that needs it. Barnum q Bailey
do not need it. Who ever heard of an
Irving, Southern, or Marlowe Civ
ing street parade? In the dramatic
world, parades are confined to roper
toire shows, minstrel and Uncle Toms
Cabin aggregations. No circus can
afford to be grouped in such class,
and circus that cannot crowd its tents
without street parade has something
wrong with its performance and
reputation.
THE elimination of the street parade
means very much better performance
in every way. The horses and ele-
plants. instead of being worn out by
several hours marching through the
streets, are rested, fresh and full of life
and ginger; the performers, not being
overworked, give their acts with a dash
and go that is refreshing, and even
the animals in the meEagerie, instead
of being sleepy and indolent from their
tour through the streets, are wide
awake and, for this reason, doubly
attractive"
The absence of the parade is, accord
ing to all reports, more than compen
sated for by this years arenic acts and
"thrillers." There are a number of big
sensations, and the structural steel
used in these startling acts alone uti-
Lies the carrying capacity of several
railroad cars. Incidentally, it is an
nounced that splendid free show will
be giveI on the exhibition grounds at
II end o'clock, by Prince Youturkey,
remarkable performer, on an elevated
wire cable

PAYO4 PER CENT. on DEPOSITS
PRESBYTERIAN PICNIC.

The annual picnic of the Presbyterian
church and Sunday school, was held at
the fair grounds park last Friday and it
was counted as one of the most enjoy
able ever held by that society.
The day was perfect one, and while
there were no clouds to mar the sun
shine it was cool and delightful. The
members of the church and children OF
the Sunday school gathered at the
church at O'clock and went to the
grounds in trolley cars. 1t marked an
epoch in the mode of transportation
in our city, as heretofore buses and
carriages were used as conveyances for
such gatherings The ladies were in
charge of arrangements and raised the
funds for refreshments, etc. The re-
freshments were brought to the church
and taken to the grounds by George A.
Brown. The dining room and kitch-
en- on the grounds were soon in posses
sion of the ladies and preparations in
progress for dinner. The menu con-
sisted of meats, breads, cakes, pork and
beans, salads, coffee, lemonade and
other good things too numerous to
mention. The children were first
provided for, though dinner was served
for men from the stores and factories,
whose time for picnicing was limited.
The attendance was very large, the
numbpr runninp nm into the hundreds
There were no games in the forenoon,
only such as were gotten up on the
spur of the moment by teachers
and friends. After dinner, schedule
of games was posted up and prepara-
tons made for the various events
These were IN charge of Neil Campbell,
j. N. Murray, former physical director
of our Y NJ. G. A., who is visiting in
the city, l. N Larson, Brayton Smith,
Chas. Parker and son, Claude, while
Rev s. N. Wilson acted as general
issimo, to keep the grounds clear for
the good of the spectators aud partici-
patiors in the games. The time was
taken mp in this way until four o'clock,
when the ears were ready TO take all
back to the city Many of the older
young people remained and played
indoor baseball and in this game Rev.
Wilson distinguished himself as short
stop. 1t was an enjoyable occasion and
full of pleasure and sport for all who
attended.

WILL REBUILD.
The Wausau Box and Lumber Com
pany Now Actively Engaged IN
Building Another Plant.

Until last Friday, the Wausau Box
and Lumber company, whose plant was
entirely destroyed by fire on the 18th OF
June, was undecided whether to re-
build its plant. There were several
very weighty questions to settle, VIZ
The very unsettled condition OF the
labor question; inadequate fire protec-
tion, especially in the outskirts, and the
scarcity of lumber for the manufactur-
ing of boxes. The company had large
supply of lumber on hand when Its
plant was destroyed the power, elec-
trio and heating part of the large plant
were saved, and deal was closed with
the Dessert Lumber Co., of Mosinee, on
Friday for that company's planning mill,
which will be moved TO this city,
all of which induced the box company
to continue its business and. at least,
manufacture the lumber which it has
on hand. The Dessert planning mill is a
large heavy frame building, just suited
for box plant, and work has already
been commenced in taking it apart and
shipping it to Wausau. Messrs. Schol-
field and Turner hope to have their new
plant in operation within sixty days.
They will build an addition to the plan
ing mill and have a capacity equal TO
their former plant.
Ii gives our people great pleasure to
learn that this plant will be rebuilt. 1t
was one of the large concerns of our
city, employing, constantly, $50 men,
and its pay roll amounted TO $1,000 per
month, making the amount given out
TO the laboring men during the year,
$50, 900. There is no doubt when the
present stock of lumber of the company
is manufactured there will be just as
much on hand purchased to meet the
demands of the trade, and so the insti
tuition will be permanent one in Wan
san

movement can be made great success,
and will devote part of his time in
assisting MIR. Duncan in arranging a
program for the occasion
On carnival night the company will
give four open air entertainments on
platforms to be erected at the intersec-
ton of Jefferson and Third streets, and
on the market square. These will be
so timed that they will be an hour
apart, the first being given at 7:3o, the
last one at 1890. They viii consist of
the following
Prof. Howard, the knife thrower.
Ole Bredeson, the Terrible Swede.
Trolley Car Comedy Aerobats.
Conedy Revolving Ladder.
The company carries its own band
and as the fair management will engage
band to furnish music throughout the
fair, there ought to be plenty of excite
ment and entertainment on carnival
night.
All the features shown by the carni-
val company are clean and inoffensive,
otherwise they would not have been
engaged. The fair management can
not be expected to get any reduced
rates from the railroads this year, since
the legislature has passed the two-cent
fare bill Formerly rate of fare and
third for the round trip was secured,
which is equivalent to the rate which
will be in force after the 18th of August
The new rate allows one coming here
to stay as long as he pleases, while the
old one had limited stop-over privileges
In some departments this year, varie-
ties have been increased, giving wider
scope, and in many instances premiums
have been increased. Aside from the
erection of a kitchen no building has
been done this year, giving the manage
ment more leeway in planning the fair
so as to come out all right financially
Don't forget the fair, and write to
your relatives and friends living in and
out of the state, informing them of the
home coming planned, and seek to have
them visit yon during that week. BY so
doing you can assist in bringing TO
Wausau the largest crowd in its history

TWO DROWN AT PELICAN LAKE.

Two men lost their lives in Pelican
lake last Monday night by drowning.
1t seems that Norwegian laborers en-.
ployed at Enterprise attempted to cross
the lake in a row boat When well out
into the lake the survivor of the catas-
trophe says two of his companions got
into a scuffle to which he objected.
They paid no attention to his entreaties
to stop rocking the boat, so he jumped
into the lake and swan ashore. The
other rlTo upset the boat and drowned.
They acre all intoxicated at the time.
The body of one of the victims has
been found and buried but the other was
still in the lake last night. The men
have been making their home at Monieo
and little is known of them, except the
fact that one of them was married and
had family in the OLD country
