TRAINS RUNNING.

Mixed trains have been running this
week between Green Bay and Eland
but not on any schedule time. The
telegraph wires are not up yet, but will
be by Saturday and agents will be at all
the stations next Monday, and it is ex-
pected that the time table, will be out
the last of this week. The track is in
excellent shape but will have to be fixed
some in the spring. 1t is expected now
that when the regular trains run that
there will be at least one passenger
train in the day time, and through
train from Milwaukee to ST. Paul
Sh&wano Advocate
The latter part of the above announce
ment will interest Wausau people for
if through train is put on it will be
run through this city. The new branch
is said to be the finest piece of road in
Wisconsin-very few curves, of even
grade and heavy steel. The greater
part of the freight and passenger traffic
between St. Paul and Milwaukee, over
the Northwestern, will be through
Wausau in the future.

THIRD NU M Der

The third number of the Y. Nj. c. A..
entertainment coures will be Mrs.
Bertha Kunz-Baker who appears in the
opera house tomorrow evening, Jan 80.
Mrs. Baker entertains her audiences
with interpretive readings and in this
line is said to be the peer of anyone in
America. Those who heard Mrs. Isabelle
Garghill Beecher last winter know
what that statement conveys. Mrs.
Baker has large repertoire, covering a
wide range of subjects and has received
enough complimentary notices from
press, critics and educators to fill vol
ume. We print one from a man who re-

COM MISSION MEETS.

The water commissioners held a
meeting last Tuesday evening and
awarded contract for $500 feet of II
inch pipe at $3.50 per ton. Last fall
the city purchased 5000 feet of pipe at
the rate of S31 80, this class OF pipe
having risen $500 in few months.
1t was decided to connect the other
% drive wells with the pumping station
at the earliest practical time IN the
spring. For the purpose of pumping
out the trenches while the work is
going on it was thought best to pur-
chase an engine as matter of saving
Last fall it cost the city about $40 per
day for the rental of an engine. 1t is
proposed to run steam pipe from the
pumping station to connect with and
operate the engine and reduce the
expense to about So per day.
1t is proposed to establish new sys-
tenn of keeping accounts in the water
department May 1st, so that thereafter
the exact cost of operation can be de-
Quoted at any time. Fuel, labor, re-
pairs, new machinery and supplies will
all be tabulated under their respective
heads.
Superintendent jackson reported
that the G. & N w. Ry. Co. desires a
new contract with the city for water, to
take effect when the present contract
expires July 1st. He stated that a
recent reading of the meter at Wausau
Jet. disclosed the fact that the railroad
company is consuming one-twelfth of
the total amount of water pumped
daily. 1t was therefore decided that
the company will pay more on the new
contract than it does on the present one.
1t now pays $500 annually.
The city engineer was instructed to
draw plans for $1,000 gallon reservoir
to be placed on East hill, to be built of
concrete, reinforced with steel. He
was also instructed to make an estimate
of the cost, also of the cost of lift
pump.
AS yet the commission has been un-
able to decide upon site for the reser-
voir and pump for the reason that each
property owner on the hill objects to
having the same placed near his resi-
dence. The commission does not feel
like taking any steps which will engen-
der animosity and consequently there
will be no reservoir on the hill until the
property owners can decide upon site.
Unless this is done soon the chances
are there will be no move made next
sumner to carry out the plans of the
commission. If that is the case, the
material now on hand and ordered will
be stored until such time as it is needed.

TWO TELLERS.

A number of changes will be made in
the First National bank soon, to facili-
tate business. The business of this in
stitution has grown to such proportions
that one teller cannot handle the work,
to the convenience of the public, and an
assistant is required. AS the fixtures
are now arranged the other employees
of the bank cannot assist MIR. Smith
and Encouragement is necessary. 1t is
proposed to remodel that part which
divides the lobby from the banking
room and put in another teller's win
dow. Thus on the busy days, Satur-
days and Mondays especially, the teller
will have an assistant. As it is now,
sometimes people have to wait for some
time before they can transact their
business, there being a continual in
pouring of people. The changes con-
templated will be ones greatly ap-
preciated bN the public As yet it is not
known what action will be taken re-
garding the, re-modeling of the third
floor, which subject was brought up at
the annual meeting of stockholders.

WORTH THOUSANDS NOW.

A few years ago the land on both sides
of Grandfather falls could have been
bought for song. A few hundred dol
lars invested by those who had foresight
to see the coming value of waterpowers
has already returned quite fortune to
the fortunate investors. The Grand
father Falls company paid 100000 for
its waterpower rights. The Wausau
parties who own waterpower rights at
foot of Grandfather falls is today worth
at least $500 900. Here is fortune which
few years ago could have been had
almost for its asking. How many other
latent fortunes lies hidden around here
from the ordinary mortals' view.-Mer-
ril News.

There will be a partial eclipse of the
moon tomorrow morning. As the moon
enters the shadow at about six O'Clock,
New Orleans time, it can be seen in
this section.
At meeting of the Wausau Retail
Liquor Dealers association held last
Tuesday evening it was decided to take
out all slot machines in saloons and the
whir-r-r of those machines viii be heard
no more. On Wednesday morning the
work of removal began. Since the
order of the county board was issued
at the last meeting of that body the
machines in some instances were re-
moved, but in most cases they were
allowed to remain, the proprietors
changing the reward card at the top so
that it gave guarantee of one SC cigar
for every nickel dropped in the SLOT
The ASSOCIATION, however, after deliber-
alton copcluded the safest way was to
take them out permanently.

GERlNANY-HOLLAND
TEAM is PICKED
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec 13-No foreign team
has ever won the six-day grind at Madi-
son Square garden since the Inaugural
ton of the team race in 1899. There is
"a general feeling among the enthusiasts
for this sport, however, that a European
combination will land the honor this year.
Those who have carefully analysed the
strength of the teams think that the
Germany Holland team, consisting of
Walter Rutt of Germany and Johann
Stol of Holland, will take the first prize
If they are with the leaders for the final
one-mile sprint tonight.
The remarkable form displayed by Rutt
in the ten-mile open race at the garden
last Saturday has made his team prac-
tically favorite for the contest. Enter
ing the last lap of this race Rutt was in
fourth position. He quickly overhauled
Matt Downey, who was making des-
perate effort to win out in front, and
drew away to win by four lengths. Rutt
simply made a show of the other six
day men in the race, and the American
that beats him tonight will have
to do some tall sprinting In Stol,
Rutt has partner well able to hold his
own with the other riders during the
week. Stol has ridden well in previous
races, but has been unfortunate in his
partner. Rutt noted Stops stamina and
decided that he was the man to team
with this year.
Last year Rutt had the veteran, Nc
Farland, as a partner, but Mcfarland be-
came very weak near the end of the
race and Rutt had to relieve him quickly
in the terrific sprints of Friday and Sat-
urday morning. This left Rutt in poor
shape for the final tussel and the best
he could do was to finish third. y
The American six-day men shook their
heads dubiously when they saw Rutt win
Saturday night I'VE will have to put
that team out or there is nothing to it,
'It will be a cinch for Rutt If he winds
up with that sprint left" said one OF
them, and with that he went away to
consult the other Yankee riders.
In previous races at the garden the
Yankee teams have always worked to-
gether to put as many as possible of the
foreign teams out during the first four
days. They have heretofore been very
successful In this. The foreigners also
combine against the Yankees during the
first days of the race. and there is nc
doubt they will help each other this
time.

McKINNEYS GOOD THING
WINS AT SHORT PRICE

Leading from start to finish and win
ming at the end of the seven furlongs by
two and half lengths, East End was
easily best of the eleven horses which
went out to contest the fifth race. Alma
Boy was second, and BAIL finished a
distant third. The latter was euqal fav-
orte with East End at post time, but
could not get up to do better than third.
1t was easy for East End, which was
rushed to the front Immediately after
Hoffman had sent them on their way
to a good start. Alma Boy trailed in
behind, and BAIL stuck to third place, the
finishing order being the same. Uncle
Henry showed little early speed, but
failed to stick

MCDONALD BADLY HURT
IN SIX-DAY BIKE RACE

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Urban McDon-
aid, while sprinting to gain a lap at the
six-day bicycle race early today, was so
severely injured that he and his team
mate, Iver Lawson. were forced to re-
tire from the contest.
During the sprint McDonald's wheel
swerved and dashed up the embankment
into the low railing, hurling the rider
to the floor. He was picked up uncon-
scious and bleeding from deep cash
on the head and taken to the hospital.
where his condition is reported as serious.
The score at 10 o'clock, the end of 105
hours, was:
Fogler-Moran and Rutt-Stol. 1893 miles
8 laps, Gorget-Dupre, KrebsVander-
stuyft, Logan Bardgett, Galvin-W Wiley
and Downing Downey. 1888 miles laps
and Vanoni- Breton, 1893 miles / lap. The
record is 2O3S miles laps, held by Miller
and Waller. At II o'clock the score was:

laps, with the relative position of the
others unchanged.

They broke well together. with Silber

to set the pace. L. C. Widrig was kept
in fourth position until the real going
was reached, where Martin set him down
in time to win by a length. Laudable
and Silberschwanz both tired from their
early efforts and were passed by Otwell,
which finished a creditable second. Laud-
able was third, with Silberschwanz two
lengths back

HALF OF SIx-DAN TEAMS
LEFT TO FIGHT 1T OUT
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Eight of the
sixteen teams which started in the six
day bicycle race were running tonight,
and from all appearances they will con-
tinue until the finish tomorrow night at
II o'clock. The contestants are far be-
hind the record established by Miller
and Waller eight years ago, but the at
tendance continues good.
Walter Rutt and Johann Stol, the Ger
man-Holland team, are tied with Joe
Fogler of Brooklyn and Jimmy Moran of
Boston, with seven of the other teams
one lap behind, while Vanoni of Italy
and Breton of France are six laps back.
Shortly before midnight Matt Downey,
by fine burst of speed, sought to make
up the lap that separated his team from
the leaders. Moran and Rutt, of the
leading teams, however, managed to
keep wheel and wheel with Downey, but
in the spring Krebs and Vanderstuyft
and Logan and Bardgett lost a lap. At
o'clock the leaders had covered 1914
miles and 6 laps. and the relative posi-
tions of the riders were unchanged.

The rest of the program is made up OIL

students of form will get the better OF
the argument with the bookies
Mark Anthon:- ii, with only 1Oi POUNDS
on his back, looks to be in soft spot in
the Vernon selling stakes. and has only
to repeat his performance in the Pomona
handicap to win today. Gallavant ran
nice race the other day, and is rounding
to his best form. He Is a bad breaker,
but If he gets away has good chance 10
land the place money. Toupee VIII go
we'll and if he can stay the distance he
will be a hard horse to beat for the short
end of the purse. Stanley Fay ana
Marster must be conceded chance TO
be among the first three, as they are
both working well.
The opening race, five furlong dash
should go to Ell Bernado, as he has a
world of speed, and five-eighths is his
distance.

Then he can beat any mans horse at
the distance. Kinsman and Gorgalette
figure very close for third honors, and
they may finish as mentioned. Watch
Baron Esher, as he may come to life
soon AT Do0d long OddS.
Good for Lackfoot
Lackfoot looks to have mortgage on
the third race, and has only to repeat
the race he ran the first day to win, as
he is dropped in here. Catherine f. should
furnish any contention there may be, as
she improves with each race. Albion H.
and Tom Shaw, should fight it out for
the peep money. The others have very
little chance on figures.
If De Amman starts Creston in the fifth
race he should romp in front all the way
Manheimer should hold Sister Julia safe
for place. The Others outside of Auburn

Auburndale works well, but is evidently
a morning lory.
If De Arman starts Creston in the fifth

up fourth, being in a drive with Bemay
and Anna May for the show money.
Hereafter was elected to make the early
running. and into the stretch she led by
a length, with Red Bill lying second and
Waterbury third. The effort was too
much for Hereafter, and she easily sue
cumbed when collared. Waterbury came
away a furlong out and finished first by
three lengths. Red Bill was two lengths
in front of Anna May. which was

VENICE RACE TRACK is
NOT MAKING PROGRESS
Special to The Herald.

VENICE, Dec. 13.-After a conference
lasting several hours, Curly" Brown,
the race track promoter, Charles Shaw
of Ocean Park and DR.. j. M. White and
A. r. Phillips of Venice had nothing to
give OUT as a result of last nights meet
ing. of the promoters of the project.
Phillips refused to say that the meet
ing had resulted in the plans for the
track being abandoned and was equally
lacking in information when asked if
further attempts to collect the local sub
scrptfons for stock would be made. DIR.
White smiled and said things were
comm out nicely"
The belief is general that the scheme
has been heard of here for the last time
so far as any new soliciting or efforts
to create interest in the plans are con
cerned.
