CLEVER WORK In EIGHTH
Head Work Wins Byers No Hit
Game.

The game Sunday between the
Berlin boys and the local team was
probably the best this season. 1t was
a pitchers battle almost all the way,
and Byers, the local south-paw is en-
titled to nO-hit no-run game.
For eight long innings the teams
were blanked as soon as they came to
bat. GOoSe-egg after gooSe-egg told the
result, and in the fifth and sixth the
locals came very near scoring, but
that was all. However, the eight ar
rived, and therein, the crowd consist
ing OF fully fourteen hundred people,
were tread to one of the cleverest and
most enthusiastic innings ever played
on the local field.
Thompson, was up tirst-and by the
way, Thompson did some mighty fine
work in yesterdays game-and hit out
a single. Then came Dulin, and just
as Capt. Anderson gave the signal for
Thompson to steal second, Dulin
blocked the ball. The catcher for
Berlin got ratified, and threw wild,
and Thompson advanced to third.
Dulin hit to short, beat out the ball
and Thompson crossed the home plate,
amid the cheers of thousand throats.
The score was now one in favor of the
local boys, but Capt. Anderson had
something else to offer. Webster was
up and drew first. Ihen came Ander-
son who lined the ball out to Short
and made fifteen foot slide to first.
The dust was pretty thick around the
first sack about this time, and not
lingering to allow it to clear away,
Dulin rolled over the home plate,
making the score two to nothing.
Weckler flied to Hughes, and the side
was retired.
The visitors came in but failed to
score and the game was won.

Eckerman accompanied the groom.
Immediately after the cermony the

and are highly respected. They will

INVITING OLD FRIENDS
The County Fair at Marshfield
Promises TO be Best Ever.

Marshfield hospitality is proverbial,
and its doors will be open to all dur
ing fair week, August q to 30. The
idea of the Homecoming week has
grown with the assurance of fine at
fractions for the fair, and many
residents are writing to relatives,
friends and old neighbors even at
considerable distances, and inviting
them to come for fair week. This
will bring the crowd and the crowd is
in itself the greatest attraction of a
fair.
The fair exhibit will not be neg
lected in the rush to make civic
demonstration. Numerous special at
fractions have been secured and every
feature will be exactly as is now
represented. The races in which a
large number of entries is already
assured will be made more prominent
by speciality in the form Of racing
ostrich to compete with horse three
heats each day, and the show at the
grounds will close each day with a
stirring balloon ascension, by the Bel
mont sisters, who always 60 up.
The livestock and produce exhibit
will, as in former years, be replete
with magnificent showing of the
finest products of one of the greatest
agricultural and dairy belts in the
northwest.
! And to add a circus feature the
| Klein amusement institutions con-
sisting of seven distinct shows, all of
the highest class and with every
modern equipment, viii be going all
the time. 1t is possible that the
shows may run nights but the senti.

air concerts or similar attractions uL

Wednesday Aug. IA, the st. Paul
passenger bound north, met with a
mishap wliCn caused it to be over an
hour late when it arrived at Wausau.
Even then the train would have been
great deal further behind. only a
switch engine was sent out from the
latter city to meet and assist it. The
cause for the loss of time was in the
leaking of the engine. This leak be-
gan shortly after leaving Grand
Grand Rapids, and increased so
,, rapidly that it was almost impossible
to maintain steam enough to move
the train. The switch engine con-
tinued to assist the passenger as far
as TomahaWk.

CUTS REGISTERS
ANNUAL INCOME
W. S. Powell. Register OF Deeds,
for Wood County. Will be Re-
lieved OF the Recording Of
Vital Statistics on October L.
Means a Cut in Fees Of Fully
S4OO Per Year.

Few Register of Deeds in this state
are aware of the fact that their fees
will be cut to some extent by Chapter
469, of the Session Laws of 1907. In
fact, this law like a number of others
of Importance, escaped the notice OF
those most interested and not until
the publication of the laws has it
been discovered that all fee registers
will be the loosers of goodly portion
Of their annual income:
Chapter 469 provides for the estab-
lishment of bureau of vital statis-
tics, and the gathering and recording
of all births, deaths, etc. by special
registers. Heretofore these stati site,
have been recorded in the Register
of Deeds office, and the encumbent of
that Office has been allowed 25 cents
for each marriage, death, birth, acci-
dent and divorce granted in the
county. In Register Powell's office
this has totaled something between
four and five hundred dollars per year,
while in some other of the older
counties where the fee system of
compensation prevails, it has fur
nished the better part of the income.
In Outagamie county, by way of illus
tration, the fees from this scource
have totaled about 81 600 per year,
while in Calumet county, the total
income is only about $500, and over
s40O of this is for the recording of
these statistics.
When seen Saturday by RE-
PORTER representative, Register Po-
well stated that he knew nothing of
such law. Mr.. Powell was not alone
i'm this for, the recent enactment was
unknown to most of the Registers in
the state, however, when shown the
law he admitted that the enforcement
of the same would cut his income
something like $4O0 per year. and
probably more.
The law does not become operative
until October first, and it is one which
provides for the establishment of
bureau of vital statistics, and the ap-
pointment of registers in every town
ship, village and city in this state.
The reason for the enactment was the
inaccuracy of the gathering of these
statistics, heretofore, by those regis
ters who were provided with salary,
and not dependent upon the fee sys-
tenn for their income. The outcome
of the law, will probably be that all
registers offices will probably be made
salary Offices in the near future.
