WELL KNOWN IN WAUSAU.

A pitiful story was published in the
Chicago papers on Friday. C. J. l.,
Meyer formerly lumberman and sash,
door and blind manufacturer, of Fond
da Lac and twenty-five years ago esti.
mated to be worth 81, 500, 900, asked for
admission into the home of Milwaukee
county. This was refused. because he
was resident of Chicago. 1t seems
that series of poor investments began
to make inroads on his fortune some
twenty years ago. The panic of 1908
further complicated matters until he
was compelled to close out what he
had. He went to Chicago two years
ago with $500, rented small room and
by boarding at cheap restaurants has
managed to keep the wolf from the
door until last Friday. Edgar P.
Sawyer, of Oshkosh, an old friend,
heard of the circumstances and at once
made arrangements so that MIR. Meyer
will live in comfort the rest of his life.
Mr.. Meyer is rs years old.

CELEBRATE TODAY.
The Windecker Triplets Will Cele.
brate Their Sixty-Fourth Birthday
IN Fond du Lac.

On this date, Tuesday, June 9th, the
famous Windecker triplets are celebrat-
ing their sixty-fourth birthday ami
versary, at Oakfield, Wis.
The members of this trio, who are
known throughout the country, are Sid
ney Windecker, of Fond du Lac, Syl
yester Windecker, of Byron, Fond du-
Lac county, and Mrs. Sedate Pier OF
this city. They were born at Lowville,
n. Y, on June 8, 1874.
In 1S49 the triplets came to Wiscon-
sin with their parents and for three
years resided in Fond du Lac, after
which they moved to farm in Byron,
where Sylvester Windecker still re-
sides Mrs. Pier has lived in this city,
for the past twenty -four years and Sid
ney Windecker has lived in Fond du-
Lac for eight years.
A curious coincidence in connection
with the birth of the Windeckers was
that five days after the tliplets were
born at Lowville, Mrs. Bostwick, their
eldest sister, gave birth to twins. Thus
there were five babies in the family at
one time, the triplets being uncles and
aunt to the twins.
1t is customary for tne trio to meet
annually on their birthday and to ex-
change congratulations and receive
their friends.
/! Mrs. Sedate Pier departed for Oak
field, on Saturday.

SALOON LICENSES.

The granting of saloon licenses in the
city of.Wausau this year will be gov
erned by the following two sections of
the state laws, according to paper
filed by the mayor with the city clerk ::
Sec. 1861, Chap. 1888, laws of 1907
From and after the first Monday of
July, 1908, no license to sell, deal or
traffic in malt, ardent, spirituous or in
toxicating liquors shall be granted or
issued to any person not full citizen
of the United States and of this state,
and a resident of the town, village or
city in which such license is applied for,
nor shall any such license be granted
or issued to any person who has been
convicted of an offense against the laws
of this state punishable by imprison-
ment in the state prison.
Sec. A, Chap. 632, laws of 1907-All
town and village boards and common
councils or the duly authorized COM
mittees of such councils shall meet and
be in session on the third Monday of
each June and from day to day there
after so long as it may be necessary for
the purpose of acting upon such appli-
cations as may be presented to them
conformably to this chapter. The
population of any city or village shall
be ascertained by the last preceding
enumeration by the state or general
government.
The last sentence refers to the
minimum license fee. Thus it will be
seen that saloon men must have their
applications in by the 22d of this month,
or over week caller than they ever
did before. They must also prove their
citizenship and other qualifications or
go out of business, if the council en-
forces the provisions of the law. No
more saloon licences can be granted
than there are today, fo. there are more
now than is limited by law passed at
the last session of the legislature.

Messrs. f. G. Zimmerman and Aug.
f. Marquardt appeared in behalf of the
Marathon County Agricultural society
and spoke in favor of the council grant
ing the request made by that society
some time ago that the city give the
society the sum of $500 for the use of
the fair grounds for park purposes dur
ing the summer. They stated that while
they believed the privilege ought to be
worth the sum asked, still. rather than
raise any squabble, $400 would be
accepted. The council failed to act
upon the proposition and the society
will have to be satisfied with $500 or
close or do anything else with the
grounds it sees fit.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL.

Commencement for tne class of 1905
opened with baccalaureate address By
DIR. Carrier Sunday evening. May 31st
The first real night of commencement
exercises was Wednesday, when the
opera "Pinafore" was given. Thurs
day night the play I'm Sleeping Car
and scarf tableaux were given. There
were only three orations, one by the
valedictorian, Edith Boyce; one by the
! salutatorian, Henry Block, ard one BY
Ina Martin, who had high average Of
school work during her high school
course.
The high school assembly room was
crowded to its limit. Many people did
not go because the seats were all sold
early Wednesday morning.
The rostrum was the only part of the
assembly room that was decorated; on
each side of the same were high banks
of palms and ferns and there was also
two large vases of the class flower, the
red carnation Above the curtain was a
banner with the class motto, ''Semper
Paratus" upon it, which means, always
ready.
Wednesday night the exercises were
opened by prayer by Rev. Brigham
The salutatorian next welcomed the
people to the commencement of the
class of 1908. In his oration he showed
the progress of the class of '08 from the
time they entered the high school to the
day of their getting diplomas He told
how they had grown from timid Fresh
men without any object but to get out
of work, to dignified Seniors who did
nothing but work.
The opera "Pinafore' was the next
thing on the program. The curtain
was raised showing the main deck of
the man-of-war In the distance could
be seen the shores of the harbor where
the ship was lying at anchor.
The first thing was boys chorus in
sailor costume, then Little Buttercup's
song and so on through the opera
WulCA 10 W every Y,
as those who did not see it Wednesday
may have seen it when it was popular a
few years ago. Some of the prettiest
parts of the opera were the girls
choruses in the first act when their
costume was white sailor suits.
The principals of the opera were
good all the way through and acted
and sang their parts splendidly. There
are large number of fine songs in the
opera ''Pinafore" and the way that they
were sung Wednesday did credit to
them. A large part of the praise of the
opera is due Miss Strouse, who has
worked hard during the past few
months to train the choruses and
principals for the opera.
The following is Wednesday evenings

Thursday night, the first speaker was
Miss Ina Martin who gave an essay on
"The Present Need Her conception
of the present need of men and women
who could think for themselves and
act for themselves, and education, she
said, is the best thing to give men self
reliance.
The play I'm Sleeping Carr was the
next number. When the curtain was
raised, half of a sleeping car could be
seen with all but one berth made up
and the porter just finishing making up
another.
Two of the characters of the play,
aunt Mary and Mrs. Roberts, while
waiting for the berth to be made up,
succeeded in waking up some of the
passengers by talking very loud. They
finally get into their berth but before
they are settled, Mrs. Roberts finds that
she wants drink of water. She. goes
after one but forgets which berth is
hers and in hunting or~it she
wakes up few more passengers. She
had been expecting to meet he, brother
from California whom she had not seen
for dozen years and when one of the
men that she wakes up mentions that
he is from California she of course asks
him lot of questions TO see whether or
not he knows her brother. This wakes
up few more sleepers. Mr. Roberts,
in order to surprise his wife, gets on the
car earlier than he had before planned
and he creates another disturbance
before he finds his wife. When he
does find her they decide to sit up the
rest of the night. A short time later q
man comes into the car whom they find
out, By questioning, to be Willis Camp
bell, the brother of Mrs Roberts. With
the three of them talking they manage
to keep all the people in the car awake
until morning
The acting in the play was fine and
the entire evenings entertainment was
q pronounced success.
After the play was over the scarf
tableaux. in which nine girls took part,
was presented. They were dressed IN
yellow costumes which changed into
many different hues as the color from
the spot light changed.
The last thing on the program was
the speech by the valedictorian on the
class motto, ~Semper Paratus-" She
explained what the motto meant and
how to De always prepared. To be
always prepared she said one must be
always preparing. The daily work was
what counted in the end and also the
promptness in which the work vas
done.
G. ID. Jones, president of the school
board, then presented the diplomas.
An informal reception vas held on the
stage and the friends of the graduates
