NEW RATE THURSDAY.

Those who set out on a journey from
Wausau next Thursday morning can
travel on any of the two roads entering
this city, to any point on their systems
in Wisconsin at the rate of &c per mile.
The rate law goes into effect that day.
A great many Wausau people who have
planned trips are waiting until the law
becomes effective. The new rate, we
think, will meet with general approval.
There has been considerable criticism
of the action of the legislature in pass
ing this law-iust why is not apparent
to most people. The rate commissions
passenger tariff appeared to most peo-
pie to be legislation which favored the
wealthy or middle man and against the
poor man. One could travel for two
cents a mile while the other would, un-
less taking long trip, pay two and
one-hRlf cents. The majority of the
people think the legislatures tariff the
more equitable of the two.

The city council of Stevens Point has

The month of July was a quiet one in

particularly heavy month for Grunks

Twenty of the former were arrested
and lodging was given to nine OF the
latter.
At the M. w. A. picnic held last week
in Eau Claire, it was decided to divide
the jurisdiction into two groupes of
counties, picnic to be held in each

Merrill the latter part of the month to
select city and arrange plans for a
picnic for this district next year. There
was practically no representation from

ing the grounds surrounding the public
library. The commission has secured
plans from Chas. @. Carpenter, Mil

plans, among other things, call for
stone walls and cement steps leading
up TO the grounds from the street. The
desire of the members of the commits
sion is to commence work this season.
They are of the opinion that the wall to
be built on the west side of the Lemke
property, recently acquired, should be
built this fall, so that the work of filling
in the grounds can proceed.

latter is the mother of the bull, Skee-

THE GREAT STATE FAIR.
Wisconsin's Annual Agricultural Elk
hibit at Milwaukee, Sept. 8 to ID.

WlSconSln'S Annual Agricultural EX-
hibit at Milwaukee, Sept. 8 to 13.
The Wisconsin State Fair, the great
est of all great State Fairs, will be held
at Milwaukee September to Ii, open
ing on Monday and closing Friday.
Wisconsin people have a wonder
full treat i'm store for them at the Fair
this year. They will be amazed at the
improvements and additions that have
been made on the grounds since the
last fair Among the buildings that
will attract attention is the new cattle
barn which will be the largest and
finest on any Fair grounds in the
United States. 1t will permit the
housing of all cattle exhibits under one
roof and afford the best possible oppor-
tunity for visitors to examine the stock.
The premiums offered this year show
a great advance over former years. For
the products of the farm total of
S2S, 500 is offered and for speed events,
for which the Wisconsin State Fair is
becoming so famous, prizes aggregating
$27, 500 are Offered. Every department
promises To be full almost to overflow
ing and additional buildings have been
erected to accommodate the exhibitors
who come from all parts of the state.
In connection with the Fair there
has been provided great variety of
entertainment features for each after
noon and evening. The evening show
ut the Fair has come to be one of the
distinct features of the great annual ex-
hibit and the State Board has this wear
contracted for a mammoth spectacular
fireworks event, entitled ''Siege of Mos
COW" which will exceed anything ever
before attempted at the State Fair.
The presentation of this spectacle in
wolves the employment of. some two
hundred people, the erection of large
amount of stage setting and the dis
charge of thousands of dollars worth of
fireworks each evening.
There will be an abundance of music:
more than sixteen bands from different
cities i'm the state have been engaged
for the week of the Fair. Each after
noon a varied program of vaudeville
events will be given before the grand
stand between the racing heats which
promise splendid entertainment. These
vaudeville acts will be repeated at the
evening show.
The Wisconsin State Fair is the great
event of the year for the entire common
wealth of Wisconsin and should be
attended by the greatest number of
people possible from all sections of the
state, particularly the farming commu-
mites, as the Fair is the annual exhibit
of their efforts on the farm and dis
plays all their output of the cereals,
fruits, vegetables, cattle, horses, hogs,
sheep, the dairy, cheese factories and
every product Unidentified with agri-
culture.
Remember the dates, September 9-13,
the second week of the month, and
make plans to attend the Fair and be
present during the entire week.
