STREET r. r. NOTES.

For the past two weeks the work of
extending the Wausau Street Railway
Co.'s lines has been retarded because
of not having any ties. Toward the
latter part OF the week they began to
arrive and from now on it is expected
that the work will proceed without a
hitch
Linemen began stretching trolley
wire northward on Third street from
the Washington street corner last week.
The wire will be strung as far north as
Chicago Ave. at present and it is likely
that work of extending the line up
built north of the St. Paul tracks last
fail. will begin soon.
Two more open or summer cars
arrived in the city Last week and will
be mounted on trucks and put in SER
vice They have no motors and will be
run as rraiiers. Unlike the other two
previously shipped here they have re-
versible seats. They came off the line
of Twin City Rapid Transit Co., doing
business in St. Paul and Minneapolis
Their first service will probably be on
July 4th
The long expected steel for the Wash
ington street and Third Ave. crossings
arrived the latter part of the week and
was laid Sunday.
For the present the car line will only
run south on Tnisrd Ave. as tar as two
blocks beyead the intersection of Gar
field Ave.
The patronage of the line holds up
well and promises to continue so
This means of transportation meets
favor with picnic parties and others
desiring to spend day in the woods
and along the river near Schofield. An
oft heard question propounded by the
gentler sex is, Have you trolleyed
yet 90 All day Sundays the cars are
crowded with people going back and
forth between the city and Schotield

LIGHT LOVE- LIFE.

Written by ALICE B. WAITE.D
Pure Joy to see the forest flower,
Wake 10 the light, the dew, the shower,
To ope beside the foaming brook
Among the ferns of rocky NOOK
Not one tender stem 10 break
From parent leaves, one flower to take
From out the glen, a withered bloom
To press within a manual tomb;
No more to breeze fresh petals swing
Their fragrance wide, for love of Spring.
Spirit of Light
Not /, TO do the thOughtless thing.
Pure love to watch the dragon fly
on jeweled wings go sailing BY
Or dream in trance on sWaying reed,
Along the fiowery wind-swept mead.
Not I, IN wenton chase TO grasp
Its brilliant shape, to rudely clasp,
To pin ani Lame, on numbered board,
Its brittle form to be adorned; -
No more in life, on gauzy wing
To WOO, to bluefiag lightly cling
Spirit of Lovel
Not l. to do the useless thing.
Pure bliss to hear the song of bird,
To selfish ears joys half unhesrd;
To hear sweet trills at rosy dawn,
Glad wildwood songs to dream upon.
Not l, one happy bird to catch,
To leave lone mate or helpless hatch.
To mount dead form DER twigs and moss,
One loved voice still'd, to earth a loss
No more with life TO gayly wing
Ger brooding mate to Dlithely sing =
Spirit of Life
Not |, to do this sinful thing.

LOSS OF $4,000 IN TWO
DAYS.

On Tuesday evening last watch
man in the Hoenisch sawmill dis
covered that the plant of the Wausat
Quartz Co. was on fire and he lost NJ
time in notifying the fire department
and also sounding the mill whistle
The night was warm and many people
were still out on the streets OF sitting
on the porches of their homes. The
disastrous fire of the day before, when
the Wausau Box and Lumber Co, s
plant was entirely destroyed, caused
them to fear another disaster and hun
dreds started out to seek the cause OF
the alarm They soon saw that the
whole southwestern portion of the city
was illuminated and that large fire
was in progress. At first it was thought
that either the veneer mill or Curtis &
Yale's factory No. 2 was ablaze. In
vestigation proved it to be the plant
mentioned above The run for each
fire department was long one and by
the time they got there the flames had
made such progress in the destruction
of the plant that there was practically
no hope of saving it,
Again, as at the fire of Monday, there
was insufficient water pressure. Al
though factory and mill owners have
thousands of dollars invested in facto-
ries and stocks in that locality, they
have fire protection that is not worthy
of the name. Here, again, the city has
followed its impecunious-like policy
of laying small water mains.
Within very short time the flames
had licked up the last vestige of the
buildings and reduced them to ashes.
The origiu of the fire can only be
guessed at. There had been no fire
under the boilers for six weeks past,
and during that time men had been en-,
gagged in oyerhauling the mill and in
setting up new machinery, which
would give the institution an increased
capacity 1t was intended to start
work again some time this week.
The plant was erected in 1897 by +.
P. Corwith, H. I. Moulton, and Henry
French. Since then the company has
twice been re-organized and at the
time of the fire the plant was controlled
by D. j. Murray, c. c. Yawkey, W. l..
Edmonds, II. G Flieth, A. L. Kreutzer,
c. b. Bird, M b. Rosenberg, all of
this city; Senator Stout of Menomonie;
W. H. Hatten of New London and
Brown Bros of Rhinelander.
A meeting of the stockholders will
be called soon to determine course as
to future plans. The factory has been
a fairly profitable institution, with an
abundance OF raw material at hand and
it may be rebuilt. The loss is estimated
at about $l5, 900, which with the destruc-
ton of the Wausau Box and Lumber
Co.'s plant, makes fire loss to the
city of about s65, 900 in less than two
days time.
1t was fortunate thing that there
was no wind blowing at the time
Had there been high wind like the
day before, sparks might have been car
ried to numerous other factories in
that section, as well as dwelling houses
The Wausau Quartz Co. employed
about twenty -hve men and the mill
was operated steadily throughout the
year except when repairs were neces-
sary.

as stated before the real solution lies in
planting more Wealthy and later matur-

| am well satisfied that small orchards.
say OF 100 to 500 trees, about Wausau
will pay. base my belief on observa-
tions of the Wausau market for several
years. Ask your storekeeper where the
apples come from that he sells in Octo-
ber, November and December and the
prices he pays and then do little think
ing. When through thinking. look over
the Wausau trial orchard which has
been planted for your benefit. If you
think of buying fruit trees this summer
or fall for fall planting, don't.
Fall planting is poor business in Wis
consin. 1t may work all right farther
south but not here. The arguments of
the nurseryman who advises you to
plant in the fall are merely in his own
interest. He wants to get the stock off
his hands to save storing it and get
your money into his bank. Ifhe knows
Wisconsin conditions he knows better
that to advise fall planting. If he is
honest he will not do it. Early spring
planting is the proper thing.
All of the trees in the Wausau trial
orchard 40 acres) were delivered and
planted in the spring. Go out and look
at the orchard while it still belongs to
you.

The bill providing that persons bitten by mad dogs may collect from the town or city harboring the animals sum sufficient to defray the cost of treatment for protection against rabies infection, should prove an effective measure for the suppression of the rabies epidemic. The towns and municipalities would be spurred to activity in keeping stray dogs off the streets, where they are so likely to spread hydrophobia germs.

 THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE DOG AND CAT.
 (As Told by the Cat)
 I have always lived with family who did not have any pets but me, and there fore thought great deal of me but one very warm day day in July lady came to our house and became very much attached to me, and wished to take me home with her.
 AS my mistress was going to move she readily consented to give me away. and when her visitor was ready to go home, she caught me and carried me in her arms and as she treated me very kindly I did not make any obections.
 The road over which she went was new to me and I found a great deal to occupy my mind and to admire.
 When we came in sight of her house I saw a small dog lying on the lawn which appeared to be sleeping, but as we approached him he jumped up and looked very angry at me. Of course knew it was only a little jealousy so I paid no attention to this reception.
 We went directly into the house and after had become acquainted with the family decided to go out and make friends with the dog, which I did.
 Seelng that he was determined to be unfriendly curled up on a pillow on the veranda but had no sooner lain down than the dog came up and parked and was ready to fight. This made me angry, and in order to protect myself gave him scratch on the nose.
 This made him still more angry and the fight began. He bit and snapped at me and I scratched and spit at him but uo serious injuries were inflicted by either As soon as possible ran up a tree and stayed there looking down at him. After waiting some time for me to .cine down, he became tired and went away. Ws
 We continued in this way for several days but at last decided that we were tired of such life and now we are the best of friends and enjoy our meals and plays together. ELLA M. BLAIR.
 GAS Told by the Dog)
 It was very warm day in July. I felt m)le like having a good nap than any thiny else. But when I saw my mis- tress coming home with cat in her arms, it was more than could or would stand.
 In the first place what should she have that cat in her arms for? And cat I ,lways detest, for thought they were very disagreeable animals. I don't sup pose it was right for me to be so jealous.
 My mistress hurried into the house to show what she had received from a friend, she didn't seem to notice me at all and this was more than I could bear. I watched for the cat and at last she appeared. What do you suppose she did? She walked up on the veranda and lay down on pillow which had always belonged to me. would stand this no longer; gave bark but the cat did not seem frightened as I thought she would. She just gave me scratch with her paw. was real mad and was just going to bite the cat but she was quick and found refuge in a large tree near by. After waiting long while grew tired and went away.
 But we have now become friends for we found it was not pleasant to fight all the time. ELIZA LINDBIL.
