FIRST MARKET DAY.

Yesterday, the first market day for
Wausau, proved to be greater success
than the Retail Merchants association
had anticipated, and it is quite certain
that the experiment will be made per-
manent feature. When Nov. II, the
date set for the next market day, rolls
around, it is also quite certain better
interest will have been worked up
among the farmers and buyers, and
there will be better showing of pro-
duce.
As early as eight o'clock yesterday
morning farmers began TO arrive in the
city and drive TO the market square.
On Saturday a crew of men swept up
the square, burned the rubbish and
erccte3 railing where live stock might
be ted. By ten O'Clock the square was
pretty well filed up, though the stock
offered was not of the best by any
means. Some of the farmers evidently
thought this time and opportunity to
get rid of stock they could not other
wise dispose of. and consequently it did
not sell es fast as would have been the
case had they brought in a better grade.
Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry,
butter, cabbage, rutabagas, grain, hay,
etc., were offered for sale. An engine,
threshing machine, hay press, were on
the grounds awaiting buyers and one
farmer brought in pup which he
claimed had blue blood courslng
through his veins. He asked good
price for the pup. but succeeded in dis
posing of him and Grin Lilieqvest. who
fell into possession of him, will train
him to hunt game.
One lady brought in wagon load of
cabbage and in remarkably short time
disposed of every head at Sc per head.
Another lady brought butter and
chickens. Her butter was made up in
pound prints and they went like hot
cakes. One farmer brought in load
of sheep and Immediately was sur
rounded with buyers who began bid
ding. The sheep were finally sold to a
butcher and the farmer said he real
lied 81 more than was offered him a
week ago for the same animals. A few
citizens made purchases of milk cows,
but only few fair specimens were
offered. Local butchers bought up
most of the other cattle. A horse was
offered for sale which greatly resembled
the dray horse driven by Frank Maybee,
and would make good mate for that
beast The farmers had no trouble in
disposing of their ehickans. ducks and
geese. One farmer brought in a load
of Chester White pigs, only few weeks
old and disposed of them at SIS each.
Most of them were bought up by other
farmers, for breeding purposes.
1t is quite likely that few farmers
went home disappointed because their
produce did not bring rs high prices as
expected, but the fault was their own,
for some of the stock and produce
offered was of such quality as would
not sell readily anywhere. Those who
brought in a better grade of produce,
and profited thereby, have become in
terested in the market day movement
and will go home and interest their
neighbors, so that when the next
market day comes there ought to be
more stock and produce brought in and
of better quality.

SECURE LARGER QUARTERS.

The Hub Clothing Co., organized a
few monts ago by John Lerum, yester-
day made arrangements whereby the
old Continental store, or Weinfeld
building, was leased for term of ten
years. AS soon as contemplated changes
are made in the building, the Hub will
take possession. Among the changes
which will be made is a new front.
The old front will be torn out, the two
side doors closed up and main en-
trance put in the center of the building.
The front will be of modern design.
The company will occupy both floors
and will have much larger quarters
than it has in its present location. 1t is
gratifying to Mr.. Lerum's friends to
know that his business is increasing to
that point where he has got to spread
out.
When the changes are made in the
Weinfeld building the Hub will have
one of the neatest and most attractive
stores on the street. AS yet it cannot
be stated when work will begin on the
changes or when they will be com
pleted, but Mr.. Lerum hopes to get
moved at as early date as possible.

SYSTEM COMPLETED.

The call box and fire alarm system, on
which crew of men employed by the
Western Union Telegraph Co. has been
working for two months or more, is at
last completed. 1t was intended to put
the system in operation yesterday, but
as no operator can be secured at pres
ent on account of the telegraphers'
strike, the operation of the system
must be deferred for the present The
intention is to make the Wausau Office
an al night Office, as has been pre-
viously stated in these columns, and to
nave telegraph operator and rounds
man in charge of the system.
At present the boxes, ITO in number,
have been installed in the yards and
plants of the following companies:
Wisconsin Box Co.; the Underwood
Veneer Co.. the Wausau Novelty Co.;
the Wausau Sandpaper Co.; Curtis &
Yale Co.'s factories Nos. l and q;
Barker & Stewart Lumber Co.; Good
willie Bros Box and Lumber Co.; the
Jacob Mortenson Lumber Co.; the
Wausau Box and Lumber Co. and the
Werheim Mfg. Co.
These boxes ensure better fire pro-
lection than under the old Waterman
system, though it is still necessary to
have Waterman to attend to this sys-
tenn. The Waterman must make the
rounds of all the boxes distributed over
the plant and yards, at intervals of an
hour or half hour, as his employers
wish. When he visits box he sends in
a report to the Western Union Office,
which is registered by the man in
charge. If he fails to report, the rounds
man is sent to the plant to find out the
trouble, and if the Waterman be there
he must fill out an excuse for not re-
porting on time. This excuse goes in
with the Western Unions report to the
company next day. If he is not there
the roundsman remains in charge of
the plant until relieved.
When an alarm of fire is sent in, the
alarm is automatically sent to the
engine houses at the same time, con-
nection being made with our Gamewell
fire alarm system. A private phone in
the central office is connected with the
engine house so that the firemen can be
directed to just what part of the plant
or yards the fire is in.
1t is great system and saves the
companies protected by it quite dis
count on their insurance premiums.
| When the system is once in operation a
PROTECTOR will go over the field again in
an endeavor TO get additional SUBJ
scribers. The all night telegraph SER
vice connected with its operation will
be greatly appreciated by the public.

DEATH OF MRS. VIM. BAERWALD.
Final Summons Comes After a Few
Days Illness With Paralysis.

Friends of the family were shocked
Thursday when they learned that Mrs.
VIM. A. Baerwald had passed away
| that morning. Many knew that she
was sick but supposed and hoped that
| she would soon recover. She was in
her usual health Tuesday and retired
that evening feeling quite well. Near
the hour of five Wednesday morning
Mr.. Baerwald was awakened by his
wife's eroans and arose and awakened
other members of the family and then
sent for a physician. She was then I'M
conscious and remained in that conG-
ton to the end All day Wednesday
and Thursday night the members of the
family remained at her bed side expect
ing her to return to consciousness, but
the truth OF her condition was revealed
when she began to sink Thursday morn
ing and passed away peacefully at
about eight o'clock.
Marie Brandt, that being her maiden
name, was born in Schlope, West Prus-
STA, in May, 1916. At the age of about
twenty-five, she decided to come to this
country and make her home. She came
direct to Wausau and this city had ever
since been her home. She was followed
to this country later by her mother and
brothers, Ernst and Charles.
In the spring OF 1875 she was united
in marriage to Vim. A. Baerwald, and
several children were born of this un-
ion of whom only three survive their
mother
Mrs. Baerwald was always apparently
strong, robust woman and enjoyed
the best of health, seldom complaining
of feeling unwell and always of cheer
full disposition. Her last and only i'll
ness recently was at the time of the
Lincoln county fair the last week in
August, when she went to Merrill to
visit her step-daughter, Mrs. Robt.
haase. She soon recovered from that
illness. Mrs Baerwald had a large ac-
quaintanceship in the city and her sud
den demise has caused deep sorrow on
every hand and the family have the
sympathy of the community in the loss
of faithful wife and loving and kind
mother
Deceased practiced christian teach
ings She was member of st. Steph
ems church and president of the ladies
sick benefit society and was also a
member of the sewing society of the
same church. She took an active inter-
est in both of these societies and in
church work.
AS neighbor, those who lived in
touch with her can best attest to her
spirit CT charity and faithful minister
ings. She appeared most happy when
she was doing some kind act for others.
By nature she was of calm tempera-
ment, not given to admire the foibles of
the present day. Always pleasant and
with word of cheer for everyone, she
was indeed lady who was most highly
esteemed.
Besides her husband and the brothers
mentioned, she is survived by three
children: Mrs. Fred Clausen, Fred
and Nellie, all of this city, and one STEP
daughter, Mrs. Robt. Haase, of Merrill.
Her mother died some years ago.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon from st. Stephens church, Rev.
+. Werhahn conducting the services.
The pail bearers were Edward Fitzger
aid, VIM. Erdman, VIM. CIT, VIM.
Hahn, Carl Zahn and VIM Raduechel.

Miss Pearl Sparrowk, second eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. Sparrowk,
prominent and wealthy farmers of East
Knowlton, and Mr.. Ladette Sanders, OF
Kaukauna, Wis, were united in mar
riage, Saturday, Oct. IL, 1907, at high
noon, in the double pariors, under the
veritable wedding bell, at the home OF
the bride. The nuptial service was
solemnized by Rev w. Mallory, of
Stevens Point; Miss Sadie Herman
acted as bridesmaid and Mr.. Charlie
Sparrowk, q brother of the bride, at
tended the groom; Mrs. j. w. Archi-
bald, of Stevens Point, assisted as
matron of honor.
The bride was handsomely gowned
in white silk chiffon over white taffata,
beautifully adorned with rich lace; she
carried bouquet of bridal roses. The
groom created fine appearance in the
conventional black with lavender tie.
The bridesmaid was very becomingly
dressed in white silk. Mrs. Archibald
looked very regal in white. After the
ceremony, congratulations were cordial
ly given and secured by the happy
couple, from the many guests, that had
been hidden to participate at the we'd
ding of one of their favorites.
At one o'clock, all repaired to the
large and commodious dining room,
where sumptuous dinner was served,
that was greatly enjoyed and appreci-
ated. Many handsome and useful pres
ents were received, together with arich
purse of silver.
The bride is an accomplished and
beautiful young lady; she has lived here
practically all her life, although her

she has taught very successfully in the

and character, which are essential TO

The groom has formed pleasing
