Announcement comes from Sheboy-
gan that the Winninger Bros. will have
three shows on the road next season.
They are now managing two, Frank
being with one and John looking after
the business affairs of the other. The
new company, it is said, will be under
the management of Joe and his wife,
whose stage name is Bonny May. The
Sheboygan report further says that
one of the WInninger shows, re-
Gently appearing in that city, enjoys the
distinction of being the only company
to ever "sel out" the Sheboygan opera
house, it being necessary to put chairs
in the aisles to accommodate the throng.
A farmer residing in one of the near
by towns was in the city Saturday and
was boiling hot over his taxes. He
called on the county treasurer and told
his tale of woe, but as that gentleman
had nothing to do with his taxes he vas
referred to the assessor of his town.
He refused to pay his taxes this year
and they were returned as delinquent
and will 90 into the tax sale unless he
squares up in the meaptime. One of
his SOS was assessed at 81 800 and it has
developed that during the past winter
he has sold nearly that amount of tim
Der off the land and has some pine and
large quantity of other timber left.
He says he will hight the town in court.
1t is quite likely that Frank E. Long,
who has been appearing before Wau-
sau audiences for the past twelve years
or more, will never be seen on Wau-
sau stage again. He has cancelled all
his theatrical bookings and has gone to
Hot Springs, Ark, for treatment for
locomotor- ataxia, with which he has
been afflicted for some time. Upon his
last appearance here he walked with
difficulty, but up to recently was able
to act and to manage his company's
affairs. As the disease is generally
fatal in its results, there is little hope
that Mr.. Long win ever be seen on the
stage again. Upon one of his visits 10
Wausau he WAS made member of the
local lodge of Elks.
