ANNUAL S. S. CONVENTION.

The second annual convention of
Sunday School Workers of Marathon
county was held in the Baptist church
last Friday evening and Saturday fore
noon.
Mrs John Olson, of Mosinee, urged
for a more thorough organization of
small schools that they might do more
efficient work. Her paper was full OF
suggestions and vas appreciated by all
present.
Rev. Joseph Brown, of Marshfeld,
spoke of the Sunday school as the hope
of the church. He gave strong plea
for practical, definite work. A more
general use of the bible in the hands of
the pupils as we'll as teachers; more
memOrizing of the scripture; more
definite prayers for and personal work
with the members of the classes by the
teacher. He urged pastors to become
better acquainted with the Sunday
school pupils. Greeting them person
ally on Sunday enabled the pastors to
know them as they met them during
the week. Most of the members of the
church are people who have grown up
in the Sunday schools.

this life do not show. No efforts were
ever lost but all went to mould charac-
tiers and would show up sooner or later
Miss Frida Kuckuk read a paper on
Preparation of the Lesson" which
showed she had prepared her paper
we'll.
Mrs. G. F. Woodward read paper
on the Sunday School Library and the
Teachers Opportunity" to direct the
reading of the class. This was dis
cussed by several. including Miss Kath-
crime Cramer of the public library and
Supt. Tobey and proved very profita-
BILE discussion.
After short recess the plan of organ
izing home department was given by
Rev. F. FL. Brigham. He spoke of the

great benefits.

B. B. FODDER.

Although last Thursday was the
scheduled day for the opening games
in the Wisconsin. Illinois league, only
one game was played-LaCrosse trim
ming Fond du Lac. In all other cities
the grounds were too wet Wausau
was able to play but one game in Rock
ford, winning on Saturday by a score
of 81. A Rockford dispatch to the Mil
waukee Free Press says the Wausau
team is in fine condition and bunch of
sluggers. The team went to Freeport
Sunday and trimmed its last years
rivals 9-3.
The games played so far show the
relative condition aud strength of the
different teams. Wansau was the first
to win away from home and proves
that it is strong road team Fond du
Lac will be the tail ender again this
year, unless changes in the teams line
up are made, which Manager Lynch
says will be the case. Bobby is re-
ported as being dissatisfied with his
material. Lacrosse starts out strong
as usual, and the able leadership of
Pink" Hawley is again demonstrated.
Green Bay has improved under Corri-
gan, while aside from Rockford the
other teams show about the same
strength they did last year
Lang, the star pitcher of the Wausau
club of the past two years joined the
team at Rockford and pitched the open
ing game at Freeport. He was little
wild, but otherwise his work was of the
usual gilt-edge style. He was pur-
chased from the Chicago White Sox
who bought him last year. and he will
be tower of strength on the team this
season.
The attendance so far has been good,
notwithstanding disagreeable weather
conditions. Reports are to the effect
that the new umpires are giving good
satisfaction and maintaining strict dis
cipline.
Other towns outside of the league are
taking great interest IN the games, and
scores are posted daily in public places.
Milwaukee papers are running box
scores of the games this year, some
thing never done before.

FOREST FIRES.

On Saturday afternoon at four o. clock
word reached the city that Elmhurst
was burning and assistance was asked.
The flre engine was placed on fiat car
and taken to that village. Firenen
Frank Zielsdorf and Ted Doonan and
Engineer Nj. j. Kriskey accompanied it.
An engine and 800 feet of hose was
brought up from Clintonville, and An
tigo sent 500 feet of hose. When tae
Wausau tiremen reached there they
found the fire situated at long dis
lance from any water. The engine was
stationed at the river and hose run to q
big tank and water was pumped into it.
The Clintonville engine pumped water
from the tank to the fire. About $500
feet OF hose was required. About AGO.
QUO feet OF lumber and 100000 feet of
logs were almost consumed when the
firemen reached the village. These logs
and lumber were mostly hardwood and
Eastwood and were owned by E. F. Mel
son, the Tigerton Lumber Co. and a
Clintonville concern, and the loss will
reach thousands of dollars. The mill
was saved. The fire started, il is
thought, from locomotive spark. The
Wausau engine and firemen returned
to the city at eight o'clock Sunday
morning.
Fires ragged Sunday in the vicinity of
Rib hill. A great volume of smoke
could be seen in that section and
burned foliage of evergreen trees fell
on our streets. Jacob Gensman of
Wausau had about 46 cords of wood
destroyed in the town of Flieth, it is re-
ported, representing loss of consid-
erably more than 5000.
The woods had dried out from warm
days of the past week so that there was
great danger that the losses of a few
weeks ago would be repeated The
rain of Sunday night and Monday came
at an opportune time. In few days
will be up so high that
further danger will be lessened.

interesting and instructive.
Mr.. Howard gave a short lecture on

with an explanation of the most inn
portant numbers on the program, Civ
ing the key to the construction and the
thought in the mind of the composer
when writing these compositions

new meaning and in the hands of those
rendering it, proved brilliant and most
interesting 1t would hardly be

AUT0MOBILlSTS PAY FINES.

Warrants were served on eight auto
raobile owners yesterday morning
charging lnem with exceeding the state
law regulating the speed of such vehi-
cles. Two special policemen in plain
clothes were stationed on Grand Ave-,
provided with stop watches They kept
tab on those who went by at a rate
which seemed too fast for safety to other
people. As a result of their work the
eight warrants were issued.
When their cases were called in court
yesterday all but one entered pleas of
guilty and were assessed a fine and
costs amounting to sl3 each, or a total
of S91. The eighth man claims that a
mistake was made in placing him
among the guilty ones. If it is proved
that it was not his eaI, the owner of the
car having the number corresponding
with that jotted down by the time
keepers, will be looked up and required
to make explanations.
Many complaints have come from
residents on lower Grand Ave. regard
ing the speeding of cars on that
thoroughfare. The practice has been
kept up so lorg that it has resolved itself
into habit, and if permitted to con-
tinue will certainly result in someone
being killed or seriously injured. The
city authorities say it will not con-
tinue. Automobiles, so long as they
continue to speed their cars at an ex-
cess rate anywhere in the city, can ex-
pect hereafter to be arrested at most
any time. At intervals men with stop
watches will gather evidence against
them. The danger on Grand Ave. from
this source is greater than it ever was
before. There are more machines in
town now than in any other year and
more street cars are running.
