TOTAL ECLIPSE.

Wausau people were disappointed
in not getting a chance to see the
free exhibition given by the powers
that be, recently in the shane of an
eclipse of the moon, Now, on Thurs
day, June nth, the same powers will
conduct another free exhibition a
total eclipse of the sun. The eclipse
will begin in this latitude at 6:l0 p.
m. and when the sun sets the eclipse
will cover over one half of its area.
The last total eclipse of the sun was
in 1869 and at noon day this country
was enveloped in darkness and chick

it comes at time when the sun is
going down, however, if the weather
is clear get your smoked glass ready
for the exhibition, we might as well
see what we can of it.

pure bred stock than any other
county in Wisconsin. Marathon
county has been able to win-has won
the first premium at the state fair, on
agricultural products, whenever a
determined effort has been made to
do 50. Our county fairs have been
potent factors in bringing about this
condition.
We are now planning for the great
est county fair in the history of the
county for 1909, and we desire and
urge that every farmer in Marathon
county be present. We guarantee it
will be worth your while. 1t will not
only be our aim to make it profitable,
but entertaining and instructive.
The fair is not conducted as a money
making enterprise, but as we have
said to better, to improve and to
deyelope the great agricultural, stock
and general resources of the county.
To accomplish this is to add to the
general wealth, and thereby build up
a great and prosperous community.
We guarantee an exhibition of fine,
pure bred stock, equal to any ever
seen upon the grounds; a magnificent
display of agricultural products, with
every department SURPRISING in
quality and variety of exhibits all
past records, together with grand
race program, innumerable amuse-
ments, both new and novel, calculated
to make every minute enjoyable to
the patrons.
We therefore urge upon the citizens
of Wausau, of the villages and partic-
ularly the agricultural communities

AUG. w. MARQUARDT.

August w. Marquardt, father Of
our city comptroller, died yesterday
morning after an illness of about two
weeks. The cause of death was heart
and kidney trouble. He had been in
good health practically all his life, up
to his last illness.
deceased was born i'm Germany jan
uary %, 1886, He came to this coun-
try in 1868, settling in Wausau and
the house he died in, located at 602
Washington street, had been his home
for the past thirty-siX years.
During his early residence here he
worked in saw mills and at other labor,
but the past twenty-five years had
been devoted to farming, he owning
farm northeast of the city on the
Nutterville road.
Mr.. Marquardt, living here as long
as he did, was known by great many
people and was especially well ac-
quainted with the older citizens. He
was the oldest of sA children and
served in the Prussian- ustrian war
of &c.
Besides his wife he is survived by
two children, Mrs. Emil Holman and
Herman of this city. He also leaves
one sister and two brothers, Mrs.
Weisse, who resides in Germany, and

Julius who resides on Bridge street.

NOT AS EASY AS OF NYORE.

In an interview in the Washington
d. c. Post, John p. Hume of Marsh
field said:
1T isn't as easy to become farmer
as il once was. continued Mr. Hume.
There was a time in this country
when all a man had TO do was TO load
his family i'm a covered wagon taking
along a few farming implements, and
start West. Usually he kept going
until he found a section Of country
that suited him, and then he went to
work. We don't see any covered
wagons or caravans in the West any
more: they are part OF the distant
past.
NOWADAYS when man feels ike ac-
curing a farm he must have cash in
his pocket. He gets into railroad
train and starts West He tiDds that
the men who have preceded him in
their covered wagons have secured all
the choice land They paid little or
nothing for il, but now they are the
substantial, prosperous men OF their
sections The late conner must pay
high price for the land he acquires.
For this reason it is harder now than
formerly for miner or any other la
boring man 10 become farmer. Tor
laboring men, as a rule. must spend
all. or practically all. OF their markings
10 keep themselves and their families

FIELDING AVERAGES.

In batting, Dolan is led by only
three other players in the league, two
of them participating in only few
games There are only eight men
batting 300 or over. r. Klein of La
Crosse leads in stick work with an
average of 1865.
In considering the number of
games player participates in, which
is the only way to class his average,
Dunbar is tying two other men for
fourth place in fielding. Though
twelve players have ayerages>of LOCO,
Malloy of La Crosse is really the lead
er having played in 20 games. u
1t is President Elliott's intention TO
issue these averages every few weeks
throughout the season, which was not
done by President Mol in the old
league. These averages are interest
ing to the patrons of the game in
every town in the circuit. They also
give big league magnates line on
what the different players are doing,
and gives the club owners chance to
sell men before the close of the sea-
son, enabling them to get a better
price than if the men were drafted.
Umpire A. j. Roberg handed in his
resignation to President Elliott after
the Winona series in this city. The
reason given was that he had to stand
too much abuse. His resignation has
not caused any tears to fall for Ro-
berge was certainly off color, especial
ly in his judgment of strikes and
balls.
President Elliott has given out the
figures for attendance in the different
cities. The average attendance has
been: Superior, 754; Duluth, 667; Wi
mona, GIG; Eau Claire, 427; La Crosse,
3S8; Wausau, BOG. Superior, with a
tail end team, and lack of interest
manifested before the season opened,
has been surprise TO all the other
club owners. All expected better re-
suits in Duluth, the largest city in
the league. Wausau last year turned
out over 10000 people. With sixty
two games to be played at home, at
an average of 3O6 per game, 1t will be
seen that the attendance this year at
that rate would only be 1892. More
interest must be shown. The fans
must wake up or Wen be kicked out
of the new organization.
Wausau has secured a new pitcher
of the name of Burkhart.
Since taking the road last Wednes-
day Wausau won one game from
Winona, lost two by margins of one
score, one of them IA inning game
and one was postponed on account Of
rain. Our team won the opening
game in Superior Sunday, but yester
days game was forfeited to the lake
city by the umpire The team plays
ten more games before returning
home
The Superior and Duluth teams
have strengthened up of late and have
been showing great form. Superior
took an entire series from Eau Claire
last week and Duluth won three out
Of four fIom La Crosse.
