Jos. Braun, of Athens, who is well
known in this city, is reported to be
improved and there are hopes of an
early recovery from the attack of
appendicitis which he suffered. he
will. however, be compelled to come to
the city later for an operation.
Vim. Merklein departed yesterday
morning for Chicago where he will buy
a number of head of cattle for Chas.
Giesler. 1t seems that Marathon county
young stock is nearly depleted. Sever
al times this winter, local butchers have
be"n obliged to go out of the state for
c;,lue. Still, occasionally, a car load
OF cattle is shipped out of the city by
Chicago buyers.
+. j. SchoIt, of Appleton, looked
ovc- number of factory sites in the
CITY during the past week. He is secre-
tary of the Appleton Steam Boiler
Mfg. Co., the concern which is con-
ten plating moving to this city. As
yet the company will not state whether
or not it will come here, but as its
stockholders are well pleased with
Wa Isau, it is likely they will move.
"3uckshot' had his.name placed on
the county Jail docket again Wednes-
day, the first time in several months.
He steered his ship over town that day
and entered various ports where every
thjrg stronger than lemonade is sold.
He nove into sight on one of the main
streets along toward midnight with a
large cargo aboard. He tackled
irregularly from starboard to port as
he sailed along and eventually bumped
into an officer on late watch and an
chored. Next morning he was given
three days in the county Jail and came
out advocating the passage of the high
license bill.
nr. L. NJ Willard performed very
delicate operation Wednesday upon the
lsbaby daughter of Mr. and Mrs Richard
Luedke, who reside at zoos Seventh
street. The child had been suffering
| from necrosis of bone of the skull,
near the ear, and was in such condition
| that commissions resulted. In the OPP
Grafton which was performed, all of the
affected bone was removed, exposing
| the brain tissue Had the operation
not been performed the child perhaps
would not have survived day longer.
| She is only year old and although her
vitality is low she gives promise of
| complete recovery.
We are informed by a resident of
| Unity, who was in the city last week,
that when news was received of the
recent supreme court decision, uphold
ing the incorporation of that village,
that there was something doing" A
| baud of men and boys soon collected,
and pressing into service all the drains,
dishpans, etc, in the village, they made
the night one OF reyelry. They made it
a point to serenade the principal
| objector to incorporation and to march
| by his house as often as possible, keep
| ing it up until four in the morning.
This objector says he will die game and
will make one more effort to quash
the Incorporation.
The streets of our city were in very
bad condition last week, owing to the
warm weather and vast amount of
show and ice. Most of the cement
81, ewalks, especially where snow was
piled up high on either side, were i'm
paSsable and pedestrians had to take
| tie center of the street in order to
reach their homes. On many corners,
wnere catch basins were frozen up,
there were miniature lakes. Wherever
water could find access to cellars, they
were partly filled up and this was the
case with woodsheds, store houses, etc;
! if Il heavJ rain had also fallen, there
would have been much distress in our
| city; as it was, the conditions only
| pr wed an inconvenience,
Wausau Company No Is, Uniformed

Henry Giese was brought here from
Milwaukee on the 30 Northwestern
train Friday morning and taken to the
home of DIR. Kitzki on Scott street,
where he died about eight hours later

went to Milwaukee last summer, where
he was engaged in the Wonderland
entertainment resort, and about three
months ago was taken sick with quick
