WAUsAU EXPECTING BOOM.
Steady Growth Causes House Famine
and Many Are Being Erected.

Conditions prevailing at Wausau are
! similar to those which existed in Ash
land some years ago, just prior to
what is known as the ashland boom. -
! The quiet yet sturdy growth of Wau-
sau has precipitated a house famine,
and while hundreds of new houses are
now in course of erection, many of
them palatial and pretentious, there is
not that notice or publicity given to
this incident in the city's growth
which would be given were the same
conditions existing in most any other
city in the state
While the timber supply tributary
to Wausau is exhausted, in the sense
that it is owned by those who are en-
gagged in the lumber business here,
there is no sign of immediate trans
formation or change from the lumber
industry to something or to anything
in other lines of manufacture. While
there is a water power here of won
wheels of mammoth manufacturing es-
adjustments, yet it has not been har-
messed to any considerable extent, al
though, at the present time the insti-
tuition of a splendidly appointed and
admirably managed street railroad
strongly suggests the coming of all
those concomitant enterprises usual
ly following the institution of street
cars.
There is not an empty store building
and office accommodation Is indeed
limited. Wausau wants no boom. and
still boom is here, property has dou-
bled and trebled in price during the
past three or four years, and real es-
tate transfers follow each other with
a rapidity that makes old timers re-
mark: Il could have bought that prop.
erty for a song ten years ago.

"JOKE" FATAL TO WIFE.
Suspicious Aroused by Fellow Work

Suspicious Aroused by Fellow Work
ers Result in Sad Tragedy.
A foolish practical joke perpetrated
upon Charles Siklik by fellow work
men at the packing house at Cudahy,
near Milwaukee. has resulted in the
death by her own hand of Siklik' S
wife and the possibly fatal poisoning
of the couples two-year-old child.
Mrs. Siklik, in order to help her hus-
band, kept boarders. On Monday one
of the workers in the packing house
thought it would be a good Joke" to
make Siklik jealous. So he told a
story connecting the name of Siklik' S
wife with one of the boarders. Others
were ''put next" to the joke and many
jibing remarks were made.
When Siklik went home that night
he asked his wife if what his compan-
ions told him was true. The woman
strenuousIy denied the accusations
and a bitter quarrel ensued between
husband and wife When Siklik left
the house the woman went to drug
store and purchased a quantity of
paris green. She swallowed portion
of the poison and gave a spoonful Of it
to her baby.
AS the poison did not take immedi-
ate effect. the woman took the child in
her arms and started for the lake
with the intention of jumping in. She
had waded into the water but a few
feet when she was rescued. She was
taken home. where it was learned
what she had done. and physicians
were summoned The woman fingered
through the day, but the doctors were
unable to save her life The child is
still very i'll, but there are hopes that
it will recover.
