PENEAU PARDONED.

Louis Peneau, who pleaded guilty
March 20, 1905. to charge of burglary,
was pardoned by Gov. Davidson Thurs
day and is home again. Peneau was
arrested in company with Richard
Lambrecht for holding up and robbing
Fred Bernitt in the spring of 1905. They
entered the place having their faces
disguised by masks and at the point OF
revolver held up and forced the pro-
prietor to hand over the money in the
cash register. They afterwards went
TO resort on the west side of the river
and spent part of the night. The sher-
I'll and chief of police had been notified OF
their escapade and learning where they
hired the rig, waited at the livery stable
for them and arrested them Peneau
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a
term of three years in the state prison.
Lambrecht had his case continued for
several terms and finally concluded to
plead guilty. As he appeared TO be the
ring leader he was given an indeter-
inmate sentence of from one to five
years in the Green Bay reformatory
Reports are to the effect that the latter
has not proved himself to be model
prisoner and has lost what good time
he had coming.
Peneau says that the punishment has
been valuable lesson to him and that
he will never more stray from the path
of rectitnde.

CLUB HOUSE.

The Wausau Club House improve
ments are nearing completion and in a
few weeks, Wausau will have one of
the most complete and up-to-date club
houses in the state. All of the rooms
have been re-decorated, two new fire
places put in to make rooms pleasant
and for ventilation. The card room
has been enlarged and more windows
added; the bowling alley re-decorated
and the alleys put in first class condi-
ton; the billiard room and tables, dance
hall, parlor and main room, have all
received attention.
The greatest improvement of all is in
the basement, where rooms have been
thrown together and a large dining
room and kitchen put in. This will be
invaluable for public and private
parties. Heretofore, there has been
no place in the building for serving re-
freshments, and the billiard room has
been usually used for that purpose.
Besides all of the above, concrete floors
have been placed in the cool and heat
ing plant rooms.
The coming winter will be full of
activity in club circles

CENTRAL FILES APPEAL.

The Wisconsin Central Il. X. Co. has
filed suit appealing from an order
issued by the railroad commission on
July 81 last, requiring it to operate
publicly a branch line running from
the village of Athens, this county,
northerly. distance of about fifteen
miles, and TO receive and transport
freight for all persons rendering it in
the ordinary course of business. The
line was bought of the Upham Manu-
featuring Co., and the Central paid
$50, 900 for it by hauling forest products
for the Upham company. The Central
claims that the branch line was never
operated by it as a common carrier.
The Rib river Land Co. bought large
tract of land along the line with the in
tention of selling it to settlers, and
therefore asked the commission to
open the line to the public.

"A man alighted from a train, and
after walking laboriously up the short
flight of stairs which led to the wait
ing-room. stopping a few times on the
way to rest, he looked round for a
place to sit down. His wan, thin face,
heavy eyes, and general appearance of
weakness and detection attracted at
tention, and kind old gentleman ac-
costed the stranger and asked if he
could be of any assistance.

LOG DsIvING RESUMED.

Since the recent rains log driving
operations have been resumed. The
John Week Lbr Co., of Stevens Point
has about 100000 feet in the Big Eau
Plene and the Clifford Lbr. Co. of the
same city also has a great many logs in
that str cam.
Willis La Du of Mosinee, was in the
city Thursday with crew of men
bound for Rib river to start a drive.
Other crews, have been going up the
Wisconsin every day since the rain and
it is thought all the logs hung up above
here can be gotten into the Wausau
pond in IA short time, if the water holds
up John Manser has quite few logs
in the river on the upper Eau Claire.
The Alexander Stewart Co.'S mill in
this city which has been closed for
months on account of Z. log shortage,
will resume operations soon and will
get enough logs in this drive TO ensure
n steady run until freezing up time.
The Jacob Eortenson mill, which has
also been shut down of late, will get a
supply from This drive. The close of
the mills has worked a hardship en-
those who depend on slab wood for
their winters supply of fuel. Anticipat-
ing shortage this winter, local wood
dealers have purchased largely from
country mills. One dealer remarked a
few days ago, in our presence, that he
had 1000 cords of slabs on hand, but
wished he had 5000
The Wisconsin river raised very
rapidly at this point Wednesday night
and Thursday. This was not due al
together to local rains, but to rains up
the river 1t is said that on Sunday, a
week ago, there were heavy showers in
the northern part of the state, though
we had none here, and during the
several days following, more rain fell
to swell the volume of water.

IN-SHO0TS,

The season closed Sunday with Wan
sau defeating Fond du Lac on the la-
ter's grounds. The race between opr
team and Freeport has been close aud
while the Gamers appear to have won
the pennant by safe margin, ,sstili we
may yet be counted in, if we are given
fair deal on some contested games.
The season has been the most success
full of any since the league was orgsn-
lied and was only marred by the
rowdyism at Freeport at the close.
The Wausau clubs directors have
forwarded to the national commission
the following list of players for next
years team: Chas. Ferguson. man
ager; Frank Lang and j. Nagle, pitch
ers; Ed. Campbell, catcher; I'll. Brand
enhagen, first base; Chas. Fox, second
base; K. McAuley, third base; w. Hille,
short stop; c. Chase, left field, Chas.
Kroy, center field. Pierce, who has
been catching of late, is owned by the
st. Paul team and was only loaned to
us. The Wausau management has been
fortunate the past season in having q
clean bunch of gentlemanly ball play
ers and patrons of the game are pleased
to know that they have been retained
for another year OF course other
players will be picked up during the
winter so that there will be strong
bunch to choose from next spring.
1t is reported that we are liable to
lose Manager Ferguson. He is said to
have an offer from the st. Paul team to
travel over the country as scout.
Wausau patrons of the. game should see
that Mr.. Ferguson remains here. he
has given Wausau the best team it ever
had and the past seasons playing has
greatly advertised the town. From a
tail end team we climbed to second
place and were it not for the fool who
made up the schedule and put us on the
road the first thing, we would today be
in first position by mile. Mr.. Ferguson
is not only good manager and judge
of base ball timber, but he is player
as we'll After being out of the game
for two years he tnis year developed
into one of the best hitters and valuable
men on the team.
Judging from his activity in the past
an Official percentage of the clubs
standings can be expected from Presi-
dent Moll about next Christmas. The
general belief is that Moll is poor ex-
cuse for league president He needs
something injected into his spinal col
umn to stiffen it.
OF the players reserved for next sea-
son, Lang has been sold to the Chicago
White Sox and Nagle to Toledo, bs.S
both will come back to Wausau provid-
ing they can't deliver the goods to the
teams buying them. A report was sent
out some time ago that Hille had been
drafted by the Cleveland team, but up
to date the Wausau team has received
no notice in writing to that effect.

CONTRIBUTED LITERALLY.

Were You ever at Polish wedding ?
If you never attended one you don't
realize the fun to be had at such func-
ton. Most of our readers no doubt
have heard of the Polish wedding Gus
tom of allowing guests to throw silver
dollars at a crockery plate. and if they
are lucky enough to break the plate
they have an opportunity of dancing
with the bride. But, we repeat, one
must be present to realize the enjoy
ment gotten out of the dollar-throwing
passtime. Whether or not they break
the plate, the dollar falls into the posses
sion of the bride. In this way the couple
usually accumulate enough money
to start housekeeping on comfort
able scale. Last week trio of Wausau
musicians was engaged to furnish the
musical inspirations at one of these we'd
dings, which was to take place near
Hatley. Several hundred invited guests
were present when the music wss
started for dancing. As soon as the
first notes reverberated through the
hall the plate cracking began. The
first man to break piece of crockery
glided to the middle of the floor where
the blushing bride stood in all her
finery and beauty, secured half Nci-
son hold on the lady and then the two
started a foot exercise around the hail.
Then came another and another plate
cracker, and they kept coming. They
were lined up in rows awaiting the
calling of their number, reminding one
of the files of people awaiting turn at
the opening of land Office, when a
valuable tract of land is placed on the
market. For two and one half hours
steady the bride was kept on the floor
The dancing was remunerative for her.
hardest work she ever did in her life
1t was almost equally as hard on the
cornet and piccolo players. For nearly
three hours they blowed and blowed
without cessation, except to hurriedly
swallow pevo, Polish for beer) which
some sympathizing guest wolld hand
to them. They earned their money, all
|right-eyery cent of it-and say that
hereafter when they make contract
to 'tspieP' at Polish wedding. it will
be with the stipulation that the playing
shall be done in relays. They came
home next morning a weary, jaded
looking lot. As result of the plate
breaking, $240 was turned over to the
bride for her two hours and half of
dancing.

1t was reported that a settlement had
been effected in the controversy be-
tween John Dietz. of Cameron dam
fame, and the Lumber company which
is controlled by the Weyerhaeuser syn
dicate. 1t was said that Dietz had been
paid $4,000 and that the logs hung up
in Thornapple creek would be driven
through the Cameron dam, after being
held back for over three years. But
the story proved a canard Dietz
began the fight in the spring of 1904,
claiming that half of the dam was on
an eighty acre tract of land he pur-
chased of widow of the name of
Cameron. He demanded l0c per thous-
and for all logs sluiced through the
dam and an amount at the same rate
for eighty millions which had already
gone through. The company refused
to pay and Dietz. with the aid of a
Winchester rifle, has since held back the
logs. The timber is said 70 Sc badly

WIT OF WILLIAM M. EvARrs.
Few Men More Ready Than Was the
Great New York Lawyer.


William Evarts graced the headship
OF the bar before lawyering was so
much OF a trade as 1t is, and when
lawyers had time for accomplishments,
says Harper's Weekly. Ike was a
scholar. but 10 more of Grecian than
he should have been. Yale men used
to think that Theodore Woolsey knew
more Greek than anybody else, and
Mr.. Evazts himself was so well per-
suaded cf this that he once said at
dinner that was given to Woolsey,
tkat he and Woolsey knew more
Greek than any other two men in the
country"
Il saw fine photograph of you,
Mr.. Evarts. ON my way down town
this morning. You've beautiful head,
