WANTED FOR FORGERY.

Richard Fritsch was arrested in Osh-
kosh Saturday and brought to this city
to answer to a charge of forgery.
alleged to have been committed here
about year ago. Fritsch, when he
was last in this locality, kept the police
busy for time, although no specific
charge could be preferred against him,
until the forgery was committed, when
he suddenly and quietly left town and
since then nothing has been heard of
him. Appearing in Merrill shortly
after Mrs. Arthur Gentry was muir
dered in Chicago, he was arrested on
suspicion of being the much wanted
Constantine, but proved himself not to
be the man and was liberated. He is
said to be as slippery as an eel and has
served two terms in the state reform
story for burglary. One day while in
this city he presented a note to the pro-
prietor of the City hotel, written on one
of A. Leubner q Sons bill heads, pur-
porting to be signed by Oscar Leubner,
and guaranteeing payment Of board.
After boarding several days at that
hotel, he left town. At every hotel he

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The gymnasium ut the Y is very ac-
tive these days. There are two base
ball leagues running with two games a
week in each, and one basket ball
league playing three games week.
The thing that is taking up the time
and enthusiasm of the members is the
sixth annual gymnastic exhibition
which is to take place the 26th of the
month in the opera house. There are
over seventy of the members, boys and
men, training for this event, and the
program will consist of drills by the
junior classes, gymnastics and tum-
bling by the seniors, also pyramid work
on the horse apparatus, but the hit of
the entertainment will be the country
circus, given by the Pumpkinvile Ath-
letic club, composed of members of the
junior and senior classes, and they will
give an exhibition of elementary and
advanced gymnastic work, dressed as
clowns and rubes, which will be both
spectacular and very amusing
A squad of ten boys from the senior
junior class will put on some pyrand
grouping in black and white, which will
be strong feature. Two old gymnasts,
members of the business mems class,
will give an exhibition of ground tum-
bling which will be exceptionally fine
work, and we'll worth the price of
admission itself, Ten members of the
senior class will build six pyramids on
the gymnastic horse, which will illus
trate what the Y is doing in training
nerve and muscle of the young men.
Two of the senior leaders will give an
exhibition of advanced gymnastic exer-
else on the parallel bars, and their work
is entirely new. A couple of clowns
will help to eniiven this number of the
program by doing a few stunts on the
bars. Not enough can be said in praise
of the little fellows in the junior classes
about their work; they have their differ
ent drills down to perfection and they
are ready to give an account of them
selves The Y nj. G. A. male quartette
will render a couple of numbers during
intermission. The tickets are in the
hands of the members and can be
secured at the Y building, and the boys
deserve the hearty support of the gen
eral public, for they have been in con-
slant training for this event ever since
the middle of January.

CIVIC LEAGUE.

A meeting of the Wausau Civic I'M
proyement league was held in the court
house Friday evening, but was not
largely attended, owing to the bad
weather.
In calling the meeting to order. nj. Z.
Ewing stated its purposes, also what
had been accomplished during the past
year in the way of identifying the city.
Street signs have been erected, waste
paper boxes placed where they will do
the most good, telegraph poles painted,
trees trimmed, Harrison Blvd. i'm
proved and macadam walk laid par
allel with it, cleaning up time estab-
lished, trees and shrubbery planted and
many other things too numerous to
mention and of which the average eitl-
zens is not cognizant of

al Cash Register Co., showing how city
improvements can be made. He has
written to the company requesting that
the lecture be given in this city and
expects an early reply

the fact that Wausan's surrounding
conditions are such that with little
practical work a great change can be
made toward permanent beauty. She

in the future, if people viii set out elm
trees, this city will become noted, like
Cambridge, Mass, as a city of elms

fine shade tree, is hardy and free from
the attacks of insects.
