the past week. He is now improving
which is pleasing news to his many
friends.

butterflies, but the next may bring the
sting of winter. This is a good time to
paper or paint your house or improve
its appearance, inside or out. You can
find big bargains just now in everything
handled by o. G. Callies.

A dispatch dated Omaha, Neb., ap-
pearing in the Milwaukee daily papers
last Sunday says that Rev. Kid Wedge
has forsaken the ministry and returned
TO the prize ring. A few years ago
Wedge was we'll known character in
this section and fought several men in
the squared circle in this city. He
made his home in Wausau for time.
Later he entered the Nebraska univer-
sity and studied for the ministry and
was given charge of church near
Lincoln. He gives as a cause for re
turning to the prize ring that he is un-
able to make a living in church work.
After the rain, a week ago Sa urday,
which effectually put out all the forest
fires, the weather turned very cold, in
fact so cold that fires had to be started
and it looked as if winter was going to
settle right down upon us. This re-
NAMED with us until Saturday, when it
commenced to warm up. Sunday was
one of the most beautiful days of fall,
the weather being very warm and
hundreds of people went to Rothschilds
park, more than the street railway
could take care of, with one car making
the trip every half hour. The weather
has continued to keep warm and Octo
Der may prove most delightful month.
The Marathon County School of Agri-
culture at present has tifty-two pupils
thirty two girls and twenty boys. This
is the largest class the school has ever
had except the first year 1t is also the
best prepared class. Part of the forge
room has been partitioned off for use in
testing milk, making butter, etc. This
winter new plan will be adopted re-
garding the Judging of cattle. Hereto
fore it has been customary to take
class out to one of the several stock
farms in the county and let the class
pass judgment up the herd. Hereafter
a specimen of several of the standard
types of cattle will be kept on the
school premises for this purpose.
