MORE POWER.

Thc Wausau Street Railroad Co. has
crew OF men at work building anoth-
er dume at the old Plumer water pow
er. AAssaer the fiume is completed \
large turbine wheel viii be placed in
the wheel pit. which win develop $50
horse power. This power will be d.
rected to the company's plant on
Clarke's island, where it will be dis
tributed over the wires running out of
that plant. The present power is 200,
so that with the additional power the
conpany's facilities will be- nearly
tripled.
The officers are not giving out their
plans, but it probably means getting
ready to extend the street car lines
next season. At the same time with so
much power at hand the company can
reduce its rates and induce manufacture
ing enterprises to turn from steam to
electric power and perhaps bring other
concerns into the city. 1t was stated
at the time the company bought out the
interests of the Wausau Electric Co.
that when ample power had been de-
veloped, rates would be cheapened.
Since taking he Id of the old company's
interests the street car people have
made material cut in rates and have
induced many more people to install
electric lighting and electric motors.
We don't say this in disparagement or
to the discredit of the old company.
The interests now in charge have bet
ter facilities for furnishing cheaper
lighting and power than had the old
company.
A contractor who has charge of the
work of building the flume brought a
gang of Russians in here Thursday to
work on the job. They weresa repul-
sive looking lot-labor of the cheapest
kind, nen wis work cheap, who spend
no riore than is absolutely necessary to
keep them alive, and who send their
surplus earning 10 the old country.
They were brought here from Grand
father falls, where they had been en-
gagged in similar work. Their arrival
aroused anger, and certain Wausau
citizens notified the street car officials
that the Russians must not be allowed
TO work on the job, when there are idle
men here who are paying taxes and
have families to support. The COM
pany had nothing to do with bringing
the gang here, and its officials, as soon
as they learned of the matter, informed
the contractor that he must ship the
Russians out of town, which he prompt
ly did,

WILL PLAY AT THE STATE FAIR

The Columbia band of this city has
been secured by the Wisconsin state
fair management to furnish music dur
ing the state fair at Milwaukee, Sept. T.
II. TIE Columbia band furnished
music for the state fair in 1906 and the
Milwaukee papers stated that it was the
best music at the fair outside of the
Milwaukee bands.
The members of the band feel proud
of this as it is an acknowledgment of
their efficiency for it costs the state agri-
cultural society more expense to secure
the Columbia band owing to the num-
Der of members and the distance. The
people of Wausau ought to feel grateful
that they have so good musical organ
ization in the city.

The annual Sunday school picnic OF
St. Stephens church was scheduledfor
Sunday, but the rain brought it to an
abrupt end.
To say that Friday and Saturday
were warm would be putting it in a
very mild form. 1t was extremely hot
so hot that one affected with heart dis
ease or any other chronic complaint
looked up his past record. On Friday
the thermometer in charge of Henry
Belize, of the local branch OF the Cover
ment weather bureau, showed regis
tration of IS degrees above zero. On
Saturday the mercury arose to above
so at nine O'clock 1t kept moving up
ward until mild rain shower came up
in the Afternoon, when the humidity de-
creased. The thermometer, which is
very conservative affair, registered SO
degrees in the bushes that day. 1t was
so hot that every factory shut down
Saturday Masons, bricklaYers and
carpenters at work on new buildings
all quit work. 1t was torture for
man to work in the heat.
W. j. Kregel, supervisor of assess
ment, is in the town Of Wansau today
attending meeting of the town boari.
Last winter one of the residents, Of that
town, John COLI, failed to pay his taxes
because he thought that he had been
assessed too high. Atasubsequentm meet
ing, after the assessor turned in his tax
roll, the town board greatly increased
the assessors figures and NJ. GoIz
allowed three forties 10 go into the tax
sale. Today the town board Is meet
ing, at which testimony win be taken
and used for deductions which viii be
made afteFward. Parties Interested in
bath sides Of this question will have
disjnterested parties present who viii
make an estimate of the value of the
three forties involved. From talk with
different people Of that town the con-
sensus of opinion seem TO be that the
assessor made no mistake in assessing
the property. In fact the town board
doubled the assessors 6gares.

seThe man escaped u.s." said the de-
tectiye. "He had invented new dodge.
That, you see, is the trouble about the
science of detection. The minute we
detectives master all the old tricks
something new springs UP.
ut is rather like the story of the
thirsty butler. When you keep cask
Of beer under lock and key in the eel
lar, only giving the butler the key
when you want him to draw you a
pitcher, then, if you make him whistle
ali the time he is out Of sight on this
errand. you are bound not to be de-
frauded, eh? Or SO at least it was
In the past.
"Well, there was a man who engaged
new butler, and, as of yore, the first
ilay he wanted beer he said:
"James, here are the keys to the
beer closet. Take this pitcher down
and fill it. And mind you whistle all
the while you do It.
Yes, SIR said James, and he de-
parted whistling.
"The clear, sweet notes Of Home,
Sweet Home foated upstairs for q
minute or so, then they ceased. The
master rushed to the cellar door.
"James,' he shouted angrily, what
kare you doing9'

The Bows Notion.

A Memphis paper tells of married
couple who are in the habit occasional
" of going out to entertainments and
social affairs, and at such times they
make themselves solid with their little
boy by saying they are going out to
see sick man. One week these social
affairs came pretty frequently. On
Monday night the parents went to the
theater and told the lad they had to sit
up with the sick man. Tuesday night
they went out to visit neighbor and
explained that they were going to give
some medicine to the man that was
sick. On Wednesday night they pro-
posed to attend an entertainment and
apologized to the young chap by say
Ing they had to put a plaster on the
sick mans back to draw out the pain.
@Papa," said the youth, sis the sick
man in much painT
Every much, my SON."
"And he is pretty near deadr'
Eyes; he's in bad shape
The lad thought deeply for awhile
and then remarked, ''Well, papa, he
can't die any too soon to suit me-"

'The champagne makers of Reims

out of them. They must squeeze IN the
years course 1000. 600 bottles OF cham
payne out Of sponges. Mystiied, aren't
you? But there is no mystery about
the matter. Champagne, as 1t fer
ments, is powerful stuff. 1t breaks the
strongest bottles, and in the past all
champagne that broke its bottles and
escaped was lost Now, though, they
pack the champagne bottles In clean
sponge, and every day or two they GO
over the plant, and If any of the bot,
ties have broken they squeeze into
casks the wine that the sponges have
retained. This wine, reclarifed, re-
fined and bottled again, makes very

senger soon returned and handed him
the government report of the Office at
Memphis. which was A No. 1. On
reading this he smiled and said, "Mr.
Deloach, you can return home, drink
all you want and fear no danger so
long as the department here can make
such report as this"
He did MT return. On the contrary,
he loitered about Washington; got on
spree right under the shadow of the
White House. Yet the general was I'M
wavering in his loyalty to his friend,
but for whom in all likelihood he
would never have been president or
the United States. It was a crucial
test, and instead Of ousting him he
sent his former chief of staff, Cen
eral Morgan, with funds and instruc-
lions to buy him ticket, put him on a
sleeper and send him home.
After this Mr.. Deloach went to
Washington, carrying the colofseedi man
with him, and they both called to see
the president, who treated the darby
with the utmost courtesy and kind
ness, going so far as to offer his col
ored friend lucrative position, but at
the same time advising him to remain
with his old friend and master. 5as2

when Mother Shipton heard that

she said that CARDINAL Wolsey would
never come to Yorke, which the king

sent the Duke of Suffolk and the Lord
Dorcy to her, who came with their
men disguised to the kings house near
Yorke, where, leaving their men, they
went to Mr.. Beasley in Yorke and de
sired him to 60 with them to Mother
Shipton's house. When they came
they knocked at the doors. She said,
Come in, Mr.. Beasley, and those hon

ley would have put in the lords before
him, but she said: Come in, Mr.. Beas-
