PRIZES FOR FARMERS.

AT meeting of the Wausau Mer-
chants association held Friday even
ing, M. ii. Duncan submitted propo-
sltlon designed to encourage interest
in market days. His scheme was ac-
cepted and the chair appointed Messrs.
Duncan, Grin Liljiqvest and VIM.
Schoeneberg as a committee to carry it
into effect
Before we explain the proposition we
wish to say that the market day scheme,
inaugurated last fall, appears to be
going backward of late and it is the in
tention of the merchants to stimulate a
better interest if possible.
Mr.. Duncans id, a is this: To divide
the merchants into three or four classes
by lndiscriminate selection of names.
10 ask each of one class alternately to
one week contribute 81 worth of their
merchandise as prizes for those bring
ing in products to the market square.
as for instance merchandise will be
given to the one bringing in the best
wheat or any other product; the best
live stock; the best shaped load of hay,
etc. He also proposes to have the agri-
cultural school students Judge the live
stock. 1t is thought that in this way
every near by farmer will become in
terested and that the showing on mar
ket days will be much better than it
has been heretofore.
In the past the merchants have
pushed this matter. 1t is now up to
the farmer to take hold of it. Every.
one should bring in something. The
buying public should also take a better
interest When both put their shout
der to the wheel we can have a sue
cessful market day. Prizes will be
offered to those bringing in produce and
stock on the next three market days,
Oct. 26, Nov. and %.

MILLER LEADS LEAGUE.

Ward Miller, the fast centre fielder
on Wausau's pennant winning base ball
team of 1908 leads all other batsmen of
the league by wide margin, according
to figures made public Saturday by
President Mol. Miller's percentage is
1888 or 81 points ahead of his nearest
competitor, Whitmore of Madison. He
is % points ahead of Hans Wagner,
leader in the National league and IS
points above Tyrus Cobb, champion
stickman of the American league. Six
ty-seven players in the WI. league
batted over the 200 mark and only three
above 300, one of them being an ex-
Wausau player, Kroy of Fond du Lac.
Wausau had nine men who batted over
200, more than any other club in the
league. Freeport, the weakest hitters
in the league, had only three men who
batted over 200.
The batting record for the Wausau
team of 1908 is as follows:

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES..

Wausau high school foot ball team
"whitewashed' Merrill high school
team Saturday, playing all around them.
The game was played on our grounds
and the final score was IS to 0.
Wausau made their big gains on for
ward passes, most of the passes being
longer than 20 yards.
FIRST HALF.
Wausau won the toss, kicked off to
Merrill Pelegrin caught the kick off
and was downed in his tracks; Merrill
forced the ball to the center of the field,
where Wausau held them for downs.
Wausau punted, Mumm kicking 40 yds.
The ball was downed on the five yard
line and Merrill was forced to punt.
Merrill punted straight into the air, the
ball coming down back of the line
scoring safety for Wausau. From
then to the end of the half, Wausau
had things its own way. Weik made
touchdown near the middle of the half
SECOND HALF
Merrill Kicked OF to Wausau who
took the ball down the field for touch
down inside of ten minutes, Mumm
kicked goal. Wausau kicked off to
Merrill who lost the ball on tumble.
By series of forward passes and end
runs, Wausau soon sent Johnson over
for another touchdown. Final score,
1870.
A feature of the game was Mumm's
interfering for runners and his good
generalship in running the team.
Mumm was temporary captain in the
absence of Norman. Both halves
played a splendid game. and both
Taugher and Alexander starred on
catching forward passes and running
down punts.

FIRST NUMBER.

The Y. M. G. A. will open its winter
entertainme mt course tomorrow night,
when the Oratorio Artists appear here
for the first number Owing to con-
flict of dates the opening number will
be given in the M. f. church. All other
numbers will be seen in the opera
house.
The Oratorio Artists consist of five
people: Florence Hinkle. soprano;
Adah Campbell Hussey, contralto;
Lois Louise Davidson. pianiste; Reed
Miller, tenor; Frederick Wheeler, basso.
All of these people have received the
most flattering press notices from the
metropolitan newspapers and they
must, therefore, be good.
The Y. M. G. A. course is excep-
tionally strong this season and those
holding season tickets should not miss
a single number. The sale of seats to-
day indicate that there will be large
attendance at tomorrow nights enter
tainment.

MORE IRON ORE.

Another iron ore discovery seems to
have developed in Marathon county,
Wis, this time in the southwest part
of the county and some ten miles west
of the spot where the Bessemer crew
was working year ago. These core
finds in Marathon county are becom-
ing periodical chestnuts about every so
often and seem to stimulate the natives
of that sections prospective bonaza
kings. However our advice is stick TO
the potato and corn, for while neither
of these give "bonaza" returns, they
will keep the wolf from the door and
to the thrifty planter dollar or two in
the bank besides.-Bessemer Times.

If the salary limit rule is enforced
next year, as President Mol says it
will, it is an assured fact that patrons
of the game will see a lower grade of
base ball than they did this year. AS
penalty for breaking the rule every
player on the team can be uncondition-
ally released and will be free to sign
anywhere he chooses. This, it is be-
lieved, will hold all clubs to an observ-
ance of the rule. The salary limit is
placed at 81 $50.
