FOOLED THE HEN.

w. j. Krege is telling his friends of
trick he played on a poor old mis-
guided hen recently. One of his hens
got notion in her think repository
that she wanted to be mother to a
brood of chicks, and began practicing
for the ordeal by squatting or taking
up a presumption claim on loose croquet
balls, door knobs, etc. Mr.. Kregel had
another hen which had more chicks
than she could comfortably take care
of, having assumed the part of mother
to deceased sisters brood. Wishing
to relieve this hen of some of her re-
sponsibility by dividing her brood, he
hit upon scheme. He put a number
of china eggs under the first mentioned
hen and allowed her to sit on them for
few days, and then one dark night,
when the chicken world was wrapped
in slumber, he slipped out into the
coop, took out half the chicks from
under the hen with the big family and
placed them under the one sitting on
china eggs. The deception worked
better than had been anticipated
When the china egg hen awoke in the
morning she found herself in posses
sion of family. Believing she had
Matched out the chicks and that they
were hers, she at once began to scratch
M The dirt and look after their wants.
1t was a mean trick to play on an old
hen, hut then this world is full of de-
ception, and usually he who lives an
honest life sizes to fill an unhonosed
grave.

KILLED BY STREET CAR.

Chas. HIM. SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Him. of the town of Stettin, was killed
yesterday afternoon at about five
O'Clock by street car on the west side.
He, with number of others, attended
an auction sale at A. Pasnecker's place
in the town of Stettin during the after
noon and was returning to town when
the accident occurred. They rode
wheels and were coming down Stewart
Ave. at fast pace when they reached
the intersection of Third Ave. A street
car was coming along at a slow pace
and the party attempted to cross the
track ahead of the car Him. COM
panions succeeded in crossing safely but
he was caught. His bicycle was thrown
away from the track and be fell under
the car. When the motorman stopped
the car, the young man was dead. His
face was badly cut up, probably from
coming in contac. with the gearing of
the car, and toes we're cut off both feet,
his shoes being chewed into pieces.
Deceased was eighteen years of age
and had been a resident of this city but
a short time. The accident is laid to
himself, as the car was under control
and was being slowed down for the C.
u N. w. crossing. The car was in
charge of Conductor Floyd Barney and
the motorman was Henry Thresher.
The funeral will be held in the town of
Stettin Thursday afternoon, Rev. Knopp
officiating

BRIDGE is NEEDED.

The building of the bridge across the
cut of the G. q N. w. Ry. Co., on Canal
street, has been deferred by that COM
pany andeit looks very much as if the
city will be obliged to prod the North
western and remind it of its obligation.
The matter is now in the hands of the
city attorney and the latteg will prob
ably visit Chicago at some time in the
near future and go to the companys
general offices and inform the officials
that \ bridge must be built and built
soon Heretofore the company has
been very obliging in such matters, and
the city officers cannot understand the
delay. If the bridge was now built,
Canal street would be much frequent
ed thoroughfare. Although not wide it
would make a pleasant driveway for
those who wish to escape the danger
FROM automobiles and street cars on
Gss.nd Ave. We are informed that Of
ticials of the company say that the city
cannot force it TO build We are also
informed that the state law says it is
mandatory that a railroad shall build
bridges in such cases

CLAIMS A BIG DOVER.
Mrs. Anna McCord Seeks to Recover
Merrill Property.

Attorneys for Anna M. McCord, now
at Shawano, Wis, have had notices
served upon various property owners in
Merrill as the first step in legal action
to recover her dover right to all her
estate owned by Mwon H. McCord.
1t is said there will be over 200 cases
in the action, and the titles to about
eighty acers on the east side of Merrill
and nearly all of the property in the
Fifth ward win be contested. This in
cludes what are at present valuable
manufacturing sites. In all, many
thousands of dollars worth of property
will be INVOLVED.
Anna M McCord was married to
Myron IL. McCord, April Is, 1861. She
claims she never was legally separated
from Mr.. McCord, although he was
married twice afterwards. Mrs. Nc
Cord contends that as no divorce was
obtained and no settlement made with
Eer, she still is entitled to her dover
right to what property Mr.. McCord
held at the time he deserted her
Indications are that the action will be
pressed and also contested by the pres
ent owners which will mean long
drawn out litigation.
Messrs. Brown, Pradt, Genrich and
Anderson, of this city and I. j.
Mathews of Merrill, are lawyers for
Mrs McCord.

COUNTY CANDIDATES.

John Schirpke, postmaster at Halder,
was in the city the latter part of the
week getting signers to nomination
papers. He will be candidate before
the primaries Sept. for the nomination
for sheriff on the democratic ticket
Papers are also being circulated by the
friends of Robt. Juedes and F. +.
Damon, who are seeking the same Office
on the republican ticket and by those
of VIM. Chellis, John King and A. A..
Book, who will be candidates for the
offices they now hold, respectively reg
lister of deeds, clerk and clerk of the
court. Fred Paulus. of the town of
Wausau, it is said, will be a candidate
for member of assembly, Second dis
trict. On the democratic side it is quite
likely that Frank Regner will be a
candidate for reelection as district at
torney, and John Sell will, no doubt,
be urged to make the run for sheriff
1t is highly probable that the names for
balance of the ticket will be brought
out at a convention which may be held
later.

FLAG DEDICATION.

On Sunday, June 14th, there will be
flag dedication at the First Methodist

WATER METERS.

Water Supt Harry Jackson lately re-
ceived batch of water meters for cSI-
sumers who will try meter rates. They
are now in his Office and will be placed
on the consumers service pipes at the
earliest convenience. He states that
there are over fifty in use at present.
For the small consumer they are
money saver over the present system OF
rates, but for the institution which uses
q large supply of water the fat rate is
preferable Meters cost, with freight
bill attached, about sS.75. and every, or
nearly every manufacturer, IS in cons-
bine, so that there are uniform prices.
There is 8 probability that the meter
system win be adopted in Wausau at
not FAR distant day, in which event
there viii be considerable grumbling
for several months or possibly q year,
until people get settled down 10 condi-
mons. They will then practice economy

B. B. NOTES.

During the past week the directors of
the club have decided upon several new
rules and changes. Hereafter ladies
will be admitted to games free on Fri
day afternoons. On Sundays games
will be started half an hour caller than
usual-at 800 O'Clock. The directors
have signed contract with the Colum-
bia band to furnish music at all Sunday
games hereafter. The band will play
while the teams are practicing and
between innings. The fence in left field
has been moved up closer to the dia-
mond, cutting off the view of many
dead heads who hang around outside.
A Milwaukee Judge is fning all
"peekers' at ball games 81 and costs.
The state school fund can be increased
materially here by the same practice.
At Fond du Lac on Monday of last
week McAuley slid into a base and
suffered a spraineG ankle. He was out
of the game until Saturday Fox, whose
regular position is thiro base, was
moved over to that base durh,g Reds"
layoff and Ferguson played second.
Wausau has during the past week
found some of the so-called weak teams
hard propositions. Green Bay has
made the best showing of any team on
the home grounds thus far this season,
winning one game and losing one by
10 score.
A series was opened in Oshkosh
yesterday and the team of that city will
play return series here, beginning
Friday. Judging from the relative po-
sitions of the two, Wausau ought to
win at least four of the six games.
The attendance still holds up good
and promises to remain so.
