HEBREW NEW YEAR.

Tomorrow is the Jewish new year,
and the day is known as Rosh Hos
hanah. The year will be known in
the Jewish calendar as 5670, the
Hebrews reckoning their years from
the creation of the earth. The cele-
bration begins with Rosh Hoshanah
and continues seven days or until
Yom Kuppur, the day of Atonement.
1t matters little whether a Jew be
good or bad during the celebration.
He may be the worst sort of Hebrew
according to strict Interpretation of
religious rite, but this is the occasion
on which he rebuilds anew his bonds
of allegiance to the church and saves
himself from total breaking away
from the faith of his fathers.
The celebration is one of the most
ancient in Hebrew history, dating
back to the time of Moses. The book
of Leyiticas tells of the celebration
having been ordered direct from the
mouth of God through Moses to the
children of Israel.
The symbolical meaning of the day
of atom ement which closes the cele-
bration is that it foretells the final
day of atonement.

WAUSAU'S BIG DAY.

Between 70 and 100 people from
Stevens Point visited Wausau last
Thursday and enjoyed the big day
at the Marathon county fair. Wausau
is getting to be quite big town, had
big fair and enjoys big things gen
orally, having the biggest crowd in
attendance last Thursday that was
ever seen on the grounds. The fair
was first class in all departments The
people of Wausau take pride in tell
ing what they have, as well as what
they expect to have, and never seem
TO tire talking Wausau." This is
the right spirit, the kind that counts
and always wins out no matter how
warm the contest. The fair races
were good, while the special attrac-
tions were most pleasing. Stevens

NEW RESIDENCE.

Several years ago G. B. Bird pur-
chased the lots owned by Mrs. M. A.
Gooding of Berkeley, CAL, and of Miss
Haseltine of Washington, Kansas,
located on Warren street, between
Fifth and Sixth streets, on which to
erect modern residence for himself
and family. Last year Mr.. Bird had
the buildings removed and the past
few days he has been having the
grounds staked for his new residence
and work of excavating for the foun-
dations will be commenced at once.
Mr.. Bird hopes to have the building
up and enclosed before snow flies,
which will enable good deal of the
inside work being done during the
winter months.

1850, it was decided to levy tax OF
300 for ''incidental expenses" of the
town, and $500 for building the bridge.
Salaries were fixed as follows, for each
day actually engaged in work: Assess
ors, S1.50; supervisors, S1.00: town
clerk, $3.50 Alya Newton was APP
pointed treasurer in place of Robt.
Fraser, who refused to serve. The
records of this. meeting show the first
bills allowed officially for services per-
formed. The assessor completed his
work in four and one-half days and
was paid 1915. The total amount OF
S38. so for bills was allowed at this
meeting-less than what is drawn by
an ordinary committeeman at one OF
our meetings of the county board at
present.
Somewhere between the last men
toned date and the succeeding date
appearing on the records, this terri
tory was set off from Portage county
and was named Marathon county. As
will be seen from the foregoing, the
town of Big Bull Falls then embraced
vast area of territory, for highways
were provided for a section of what is
now Lincoln county and as far south
as the town of Kronenwetter and
perhaps, so far as we know, to the
county line. When Portage county
was split it became necessary to elect
county officers for Marathon.
At meeting held March we find
that four notices of election were
posted, the date of election being set
for April ?, 1850. The officers to be
elected at this election were to serve
only TO the fall election, but you can
paste the names in your hat as being
the very first county officers elected
| in Marathon county. They were:
| County Clerk-Joshua Fox.
Treasurer-John Stackhouse.
| Clerk of the Court-Joshua Fox
Register of Deeds-Joshua Fox.
Sheriff. VIM Wigginton.
District Attorney-John q. A. Rol-
Inns.
Coroner Timothy Soper.
Surveyor Henry C. Goodrich
At this election it is quite evident
THAT town officers were also elected,
for we find them scattered through
the list of county officers as follows:
|. Supervisors Warren Jr., JAS.
Moore, E. W Pancost.
Town Clerk-D T. Clements
Constables- Newton, Isaac
Gunsolly.
| Justices of the Peace Jas. Moore,
A. Warren Jr., NJ Walrod, E. w Pan
lcost.
4 From the above it will be seen that
lone man could hold three county
offices at the same time, as IN lht
case of Joshua Fox.
Following the list given above anc
under the same date, we flnd nota

DEATH OF MRS. GAYN0R.

Mrs. j. A. Gaynor, daughter of
Judge Charles NJ. Webb, died Thurs
day, Sept. End, at her home in Grand
Rapids. Mrs. Gaynor had many
friends in Wausau, who are grieved
to learn of her death. The Grand
Rapids Reporter says of her death:
"The sudden and unlocked for death
of Mrs. Polly Elmina Webb Gaynor
came as shock, not only to her
family, relatives and friends, but to
the entire community as well. On
Thursday last, while seated at family
dinner she was taken with a severe
pain in her head and was obliged to
retire to her room after which she
lapsed into a semi-cOnsclous state
She however rallied from this con-
dition on Friday and continued in
a cheerful mood, chatting with her
family and seemed quite normal un-
til Monday when she was again
attacked with spasms of pains in her
head. She became unconscious and
remained SO until her death which
occurred Monday evening at $50
O'Clock. Everything had been done
that medical skill could accomplish
but without avail.
Mrs. Gaynor was born on the 10th
day of May, 1883, in the city of Grand
Rapids. She was educated in the
public schools of this city, and was
married on Dec. "a, 1881, to j. A.
Gaynor, and this union was blessed

trude, and one son James,

tion to the effect that Campbell
Fletcher has adopted the 'spot hack
as his log mark, giving description
of same.
At the general election, held Nov.
5, 1850, we find that the following
were elected to offices
County Clerk-John G. Corey.
Treasurer-M. Wa'rod.
Clerk of the Court-John G. Corey.
Register of Deeols-John G. Corey.
Sheriff-Chas Single.
Coroner-Timothy Soper.
Suryeyor-H Henry A. Goodrich.
The next meeting recorded is under
the date of Feb. /, 1851, which was
held in Thos. Hintons house. At
that meeting it was ordered that a
tax of l4-15 mills be levied upon
every dollar of taxable property in
the county, and Ills mills for state
tux Town orders were issued to the
amount of s4f.75.
Two days later petition was pre-
sented asking that road be con-
structed from Point Washington to
county line. Philip d. Marshall was
appointed superintendent Of public
instruction.
On April / it was ordered that
Thos. Hinton be allowed the cost of
erecting a building then in process of
construction, to be used by the county
as an Office. We subsequently find
that Mr.. Hinton put in bill for
S9S.7S. While not termed as such,
this was in reality Marathon county's
| first court house. On this same date
the salaries of all county officers was
fixed at $500 per day for actual SER
vices
On May four road districts were
laid out with one of the following in
charge of each: Andrew Warren, Jr,,
Philip Marshall, NJ. d. Corey and
Geo. w. Kollock
On June ?, the salaries of the county
clerk and town clerk we're fixed at the
munificent sum of 500 per year.
On June 10 Peter l.. Egleston ap-
piled for license to keep a tavern
at Big Bull Falls.
Then follows several pages Of bills
which were allowed, and the book i:

FIRE. The parsonage of the M. E.
church was entirely consumed by fire
Friday morning, July "A, 1868, be-
tween s and 9 O'Clock The building
cost the society $1,000, upon which
was carried an insurance. Nearly all
the contents, amounting to at least
$500, belonging to Rev. VIM. Willard,
were destroyed. All the clothing and
bedding, including four feather beds,
belonging to Mrs. Willard, her sister
and two daughters, were also con-
sumed, leaving them entirely desti-
tute. The loss falls heavily upon
Rev. Willard and family. The fire
was caused from the kitchen stove
pipe becoming disconnected from the
chimney of the main building. Our
citizens turned out en- mdsSe and it
was only through their utmost exer-
tions that the church was saved.
