RAISING DEAD HEADS.

A number of Wausau men who had
been working picking up dead head
logs north of Merrill, returned home
last evening, leaving their job unfinished
because of the danger connected with
it. The logs are being taken out of the
river by the Alexander Stewart Lbr.
Co. of this city and the Gilkey & Arson
Lbr. Co. of Merrill. The Wausau men
report that yesterday while Dan Curtis
of Merrill, was decking logs on skid
way, the logs began to roll down, catch
ing him and burying him beneath them.
Everyone who witnessed the accident
expected that Curtis would be found
dead, but strange to say he was not.
After being taken out of the pile of logs
he walked for some distance and then
sank and was removed to a hospital.
The Wausau men say that there is an
immense amount of logs lying at the
bottom of the river where they were
working.

At meeting of Cutler Post, No. 55,

cided to have camp fire on the fair
grounds on Friday, Sept. A. The fair
management will not furnish dinner
for the old veterans this year as it did
last year, and consequently the old
soldiers will take their lunch baskets
with them and they and their families
will eat their dinner in the white pine
grove. Invitations will be sent out to
every old soldier in the county. re-
CARELESS of whether or not he belongs
to the Post. There will perhaps be
some speech making and the. occasion
no doubt will put most of them in a
reminiscent mood, so that the meeting
will not be dull by any means. The re-
union last year was very enjoyable
event and was attended by most every
soldier in the county. There was one
present who had passed the age of four
score years, and who travelled long
distance TO meet his old comrades
Friday, Sept. 4, of the county fair will
be designated old soldiers day, and the
fair management will issue free tickets
that day to every old soldier and his
wife.

DECLARED A DIVIDEND.

The directors of the Wausau Tele
phone company met on Friday after
noon aud among other things voted to
pay dividend of ten per cent. to the
stockholders of that company on Sep
TENDER LIST. Another matter was taken
up which is of interest TO few and
that was the matter of free telephones.
Since the WauSau company was organ
lied a number of free telephones have
been granted 10 religious and civic
societies, on condition that they paid
the cost of wiring, installing and the
telephone instrument. Now, according
to the decision of the railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin, rendered June 18th,
1908, no company in Wisconsin has the
right TO grant free serves, and all COM
panies of Wisconsin were givsn three
months in which to comply with the
provisions of the order. Hence It be-
comes necessary to discontinue all free
services which conflict with the state
law, and the same will be in force from
and after September lst.
