The first real snow furry of the season
of 1907 s to strike this section came SUM-
day morning at about the hour of $50.
1t did mot last long and the flakes soon
disappeared, but it was forerunner of
what we may expect at most any time
now. The Indian summer warmth took
fight Friday. Saturdays clouds and
increasing cold gave the natives warn

the northern part of the county, it is
said, enough snow fell to whiten the
ground and it remained all day How's

Halloween depredations will be re-
stricted this year. Several extla officers
will be sworn in as "plain CLOTHES
men," who will work in conjuEction
with the regular police force in subuu-
ing the practices of the kid and hudlum
element that night. Anyone and every
one caught destroying or carrying away
property will be arrested and brought
before the court. A little innocent fun
will be tolerated, but it can't be carried
to the extent of some practices of past
years. Parents should give the officers
encouragement in this work seeing that
their children are not numbered among
the guilty ones.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT.

Next Thursday evening Is what is
termed Halloween. We don't make
any pretensions of knowing who in
vented the term and we don't care a
rap. Some say it was the ancient
Druids, but we believe this statement to
be SANDER on those people. 1t makes
little difference where it originated, a
greater concern to most people is that
of looking after their movable property
that night and next day and sometimes
a week afterward We have been look
ing after some of ours for year and
haven't found isyet Last year someone
carried off our lawn settee and like the
lost Charley Ross it has never returned.
Perhaps the same parties will bring us
one of our neighbours this year in place
of it. Halloween, as Evolutionary tales
Imply, is truly night when spirits roam
the earth and work many changes-not
commendable changes by any means.

We remember an instance which trans
pired a great many years ago. A
number of boys, some of good size,
worked for several hours one Halloween
night in building wall of empty beer
kegs around the home of lady, the
lady having at some time melted their
enmity. Now this lady was a regular
church attendant and despised beer or
the vessels which contains it. The boys
worked noislessly at the job and when
the good lady awoke in the morning
her castle was surrounded by stock
ade of oaken kegs. To say that lady
was remorseful would be putting it
lightly. She was even angry.
A great many of the younger people
of Wausau have planned Halloween
and ghost parties for next Thursday
evening. In some halls dances will be
given by different societies, and there
will be many sources of enjoyment
aside from pea shooting and confisca-
ton of property. Some will observe
the evening in the good old fashioned
way OF gathering around basket of
apples and watching the fruit disappear.

NEW CHURCH.

At meeting held Sunday afternoon
by west side communicates of Zion's
Lutheran church, it was decided upon
to organize separate congregation, as
had been agitated for some time. The
step was taken because the church is
rather small to accommodate all its
members and because the west side
people feel that they can support a
church without the aid of other people.
The charter was signed by sixty-seven
people, while twenty-five or thirty
others, who could not be present, by
written or oral communication stated
that they would concur in whatever
was done. The church will start off
with membership of about ninety.
j. IL. Johannes was elected chairman
4. Prochnow, secretary and Albert
Behling treasurer. As board of trus-
tees, the following were chosen: r.
Jahns, IL. Lemke and Otto Lemke. A
committee was appointed to plan for
the construction of a church edifice. It's
members are: j. IL. Johannes, Gus
Katz, Albert Radlaff, r. Jahns and r.
Nickel.
A constitution was adopted and it
was decided TO name the church the
Evangelical Lutheran Trinity church.
Four lots have been purchased at the
corner of Fifth and Stewart, AYES, on
which it is proposed to build church.

A Woman's Right.

Whether the right to go through a
husbands pockets is guaranteed by a
wife's marital endowment of all his
worldly goods, or whether 1t Is con.
stitutional right In the pursuit OF hap.
piness, or whether it Is just because
she needs the money and will have It,
right or no right, law or no law, this
essentially feminine privilege has long
been accepted as one of the necessary
evils of married life, says writer in
the Baltimore American. Few men
would take the matter into court even
with chance of success. because the
pocket graft is much cheaper in the
end than alimony, and few courts with
proper regard for their own dignity
would prohibit wives from going
through Their husbands pockets,
since there is no aarthlv ~ay OF pre-
venting them.
