J. C. M0NAGHAN'S LECTURE.

When reason and the fac.s, as re-
corded by history, are appealed to,
there is little doubt that the verdict will
be that which reason and historical
proof dictate. The French Crisis"
the trouble and turmoil which stirs
France today, is but the trouble which
comes from an old sore on the body
polite. These observations are the
conclusions reached from a close and
careful analysis of the scholarly and
classical lecture delivered by Prof j. G.
Monaghan, in Marquette hall, Sunday
evening last, to a large and apprecia-
tive audience. Pref. Monaghan is not
an orator of the Father Vaughn class,
but he is profound; he has fund of his
torical Information that eliminates the
mind and holds the attention of his
audience from beginning to end. He is
sn orator because he is fluent and full
of his subject. He is not only student
of books but of governmental conditions
as he found them in his extensive
travels.
In his pleasing, instructive, conyinc-
ing, conversational way he unfolds
volames of historical trsth which the
ordinary well informed man has never
heard of.
The Knights of Columhos, under
whose auspices the lecture was given.
are entitled to much praise for bringing
to the city lecturer, scholar of Prof.
Monaghan's qualifications and sttain-
! ments.

At the same time there were forty
pounds of papers sent to Canada, max
ing grand total of 70,651 pounds
Under the head of fourth class it will
be noticed that there only lacked one
pound of being as much mail sent out
in that class in the month of December
as in the other five months put together
This is due to the fact that Christmas
packages were sent ont in great num-
ber this year and they are carried under
fourth class rates. That month was
also the greatest letter writing month
of the period, but fewer newspapers
were mailed than for any other month
except September. In the six months
over seven tons of letters and postal
cards ale Q were mailed by Wausau
people. Take number of your old
letters and place them on set of seal,
until you have pound. Count them
and using the result as an average, you
can determine about how many pieces
IA, 402 pounds contain. Double it and
you will have a nearly correct result
for the year. The figures given for first
class mail does not accurately represent
all the letters sent out, for mail coming
from the land Office and postmaster
himself, sent to Washington on official
business, is carried free and comes un-
der the head of penalty matter-fifth
column in table.
The incoming mail is considerably
heavier than the outgoing, for the rea-
son that so many subscribers and news
dealers newspapers, sample copies of
newspapers, magazines, etc, are
brought in every day. Catalogue houses
send great amount of catalogues and
advertising matter into this section.
There are about twenty five fraternal
insurance orders in the city, each
averaging perhaps 200 members, who
receive the monthly paper Of their or
ganization.

Monday morning Hugh Campbell
asked the school for support for the
basket ball team next Friday at the
Grand Iapids game. Grand Rapids
has stro-g team and Wausau expects
hard game. As Campbell said, "Wau-
sau wants to revenge the defeat of the
foot ball team and with the help of the
school can do it." The prelimin-
airy game will probably be between the
second high school team and the second
Y. M. c. A. team.
There will be dance after the game
at Castle hall given by the corpora
ton"
Next Friday the debating club, in
stead of having program as usual,
will practice parliamentary rules and
customs.
The contestants fo- the local declam-
atory and oratorical contests will be
picked out this week by the faculty and
the classes.

COMPLICATED CASE.

Fred Genrieh went over to Neillsville
last week to appear for the contestants
in will case before Judge Fowler. In
the will of Geo. VIM. Ohse of the town
of Frankfort, he gave his wife $500, to
be paid when needed, and gave his son
the farm. His wife, living with her
daughter, died about year later, but
shortly before death made demand for
her inheritance, which was not paid at
the time. Now her heirs, her daugh-
ter and son-in-law, sue for $500. The
defense claims that by the terms of the
will need of the money should be
shown. The case has some very nice
points of law. 1t was taken under ad-
visement by Judge Fowler. The de-
PENDANTS are represented by Salter and
Jackson of Colby and Chas F. Trow OF
Neillsville. A decision is expected in q
few days

Wausau won the basket ball game at
Tomahawk by score of 54 to "a. The
game was played in dance ball and
they had to play in their stocking feet,
as the owner of the hall thought that
tennis slippers would spoil the floor.
The combination of waxed floor and
stocking feet is a slippery one and the
Wausau boys had hard time to ge:
used to it. The Wausau team had the
best of it during the whole game as
they were never less than seven points
ahead The following was the lineup

WHEREAS, Robert Z. Parcher, director

Now therefore, we, the stockholders of
the First National Bank of Wausau. in an
nual meeting assembled, do record this
memorial in testimony of his life and char
acter, and of our sincere sorrow over his
death.
We mourn him as friend and as busi-
ness associate. In all the relations of busi-
ness and social life he had no superior.
He died in the faith of God and of man
hood, leaving to all of us cherished re-
membranes of duties well done, and of a
citizenship that we are proud Of His death
Is personal loss to all who knew him, and
more especially to those of US who were
bound to him by the closest ties of friend
ship, and who counseled with him in inn
portant public matters for many years.
Mr.. Parcher was reared in the hard
school of poverty and deprivation, yet he
grew in charity and trust in his fellowmen
to his latest hour, and his life and its sad
and tragic close have made the world seem
better and kindlier to all of US.
We direct that this memorial be made a
part of the records of this meeting, that
copies of it be furnished to the press of this
city, and that copy be specially tran
scribed and signed on behalf of the stock
holders of this bank, by the plesiuent and
cashier of this bank, and with its official
seal, and presented to the widow Of our
deceased friend.

IS TONS OF MAIL.

The local post Office has just COM
pleted its report of the results of weigh
ing outgoing mails for the past SIX
months and the same is herewith given.
Every post office in the land got orders
early in the summer to begin weighing
outgoing mails on July lst and continue
each day to Jan. 1st. This was done to
determine a new basis on which the
government will pay for the transporta-
ton of the mails. The results in the
Wausau post Office are surprising and
show that during the period stated over
thirty-fve tons of mail matter and
equipment went out of the Wausau
Office. The following table shows the
