THE INMATES OF THE GRANGE
HOUSE


| THE INMATES OF THE GRANGE
HOUSE.
Philip walked on roses during those
glorious days. He had found his mate.
His life was complete. How bright the
world, and how fair the future.
The only disa greeable incident mar
rims the utter joy of existence, and that
only for an instant, was his encounter
with LangdOn at Mrs. Atherley's pretty
flat in Mount street.
Grenier, endowed by nature with an
occasion retrospective glimpse of a no.
bier character, read him correctly, when
he said that Arson would never con-
descend TO name the intruder in the

OFFICERS ELECTED.

Last Saturday evening, the United
Commercial Travellers elected officers
for the ensuing year as follows:
Sr. Counsellor-Wes Single.
Jr. Counsellor-C. A. Van Orman.
Past Counsellor. F. Mathie.
Chaplain-Geo. Meyer.
Conductor-Otto b. Kaross.
Page-Chas. Davidson.
Sentiuel-Leo Hochtritt.
Executive Board-Paul Moeller, F.
Swinbank, Sam Schneider and w. L..
Convey.
The question of securing night mail
service for Wausau was thoroughly dis
cussed at this meeting and it was the
unanimous opinion that the city should
have such service, and resolution was
passed to the effect that the Senior
Counsellor appoint committee to
work with the business and profess
ional men of this city to that end. At
the present time there is no way by
which mail can be sent through the
post Office after seven o'clock. Trains
by which mail can be sent leave at
various hours during the night and
Wausau could easily have such a
service, if the matter was properly
worked up. Rhinelander and Amigo
both have night mail services.

Last night someone entered the
saloon.of Under & Schafer, located at
the east end of the slough bridge and
got about Sl2 for their trouble. They
gained entrance from the basement,
coming up through a trap door braced
with a stick, the stick being found
broken this morning. An auger used in
tapping barrels was carried from the
basement to the floor above and the in
truders bored hole through an cleo
trio piano to the cash box. They got
about $12 out of it. There is
well grounded suspicion as to who the
guilty party is and an arrest will be
made in a few days.
Today is primary election day and by
eight O'Clock this evening it will be de-
termined who will be the candidates on
the respective tickets. The vote cast
today viii of course be light, but will
equal that of two years ago when 949
ballots were placed in the box for the
democratic candidate for mayor and
500 for the republican, or about fourth
of the regular vote. There has been
little doing in political matters this
spring, except where contest is on for
the nomination for the same office.
From now until the It'll of April it is
PRESUMED that the candidates will get
busy. There will be no pyrotechnical
display, but quiet campaign will be
conducted.
A buggy or carriage taken care of
will last longer than one which is not.
A can of Callies' carriage paint will
make your buggy look like new and at
the same time preserve it.
The polling place in the Fourth ward
has been changed from the Levenhagen
building to that occupied by Voght, the
upholsterer.

BASE BALL FODDER.

The uniforms, bats and other para
phernalia of the Wausau base ball team
was shipped today to Manager Fergu
son in Burlington, la. The players will
assemble there on April LIST and the
ante-season games will open in that
city April Sd. The money derived from
thee games will be given to Manager
Fe son. He will paysthe teams ex-
penses and what is left over, if any, he
is given the privilege of keeping. The
management is of the opinion that in
doing this it is let down easy, for last
year it cost about 5000 for board for the
players before the season opened. From
the Sd of April until the opening sched-
uled game the team will be in constant
practice with other teams in Illinois
and Iowa, SO that it ought to be in good
form by the It'll of May On May 2-S-4-
5 games will be played at home, two
teams to be made up from the hired
players and from local talent.
President Mollis making an effort to
have a game between Wausau and
Madison, scheduled for the latter city
July 5, to be transferred to Milwaukee.
Also one scheduled for this city the fol-
lowing day with Freeport. The local
management has. no objection to the
first game being transferred, but viii
not listen to having the second game
played in Milwaukee. 1t is felt that
when Wausau people put up their
money TO support a team that they
want to see the games themselves, and
not let Milwaukee people get the bene
fit of their investment. The purpose Of
transferring the game of July 6, as Mol
puts it, is to ease up the long jump
Freeport must take to this city, riding
all night to get here. Wausau made
the same trip last year and had no CON-
plants to make.
A committee is out with subscrip
ton list collecting money to finance the
club, and is meeting with good success.
The street car company headed the list
with nice amount.
At present the club is about $500 in
debt on expenses incurred in collecting
team.
A deal was on last week to trade
Chase, left fielder, for Tom Letcher,
last years manager of the Fond du Lac
team, but it fell through.
Up to date nothing has been heard
from Buemil.er, whom the Wausau
management bought of Memphis, Tenn.
A receipt has been received showing
that he got his contract, but further
than that nothing has been heard of
him. He is short stop and unless he
forwards his contract soon, efforts will
be made to get another man.
