The lecture of C. G. Parlin, at the
high school lecture room, before the
Ladies' Literary club, on Raphael

tine. 1t was illustrated and the pic
lures were 'just splendid"

was unpacked this Tuesday morning
at Seim Bros. Some are put up in
fancy boxes for the holiday trade

Upon digging up the, st. Paul street
sewer, it was found that the cause of
the trouble was that the roots of poplar
trees had grown down into the sewer
| and for quite distance had filled it
completely. The result is the pipe
will have to be entirely dug up and
cleaned out on that street.
Handkerchief! Now, every man
needs one OF these very useful articles.
They have many uses and are very
handy. This Tuesday morning, at
the hour of nine, we unpacked one of
the SWEETEST lots of silk, silk initial,
embroidered and plain linen kerchiefs
ever heard of in these parts.-Seim
Bros, to whose store the court house
is opposite.

The trial of the graft cases in

the conviction of three of the defen-
dants after they had pleaded guilty.
They were let off with light fines
Several of the defendants were dis

next term of court. There were ten

Frank Briggs and Miss Frieda Hoff-
man, both residents of Knowlton, Wis
tied the city this morning and we're
united in marriage by Justice r. n
Larner. The witnesses were residents
of the city who have known the
young people for many years. Both
are well and favorably known in their
locality, and also have friends in the
city. They returned to KnOwlton
later in the forenoon and will at once
take up housekeeping.
Don't let your woodwork and floors
go too long without having them re-
touched. CallieS has some splendid
preparations for both.
An alarm of fire was sounded
Thursday, coming from a private box
in the Curtis & Yale Co.'s yards and
another Friday evening from the
same box. Both were false alarms
and it is believed that some one,
whose ideas are defective as to what
constitutes a practical joke was the
author of both. The local manage
ment of the A. ID. T. fire alarm sys-
tenn is making an effort to establish
the identity of the person and prose
cute him.
For the next four months the ma
jority of our citizens will spend
large portion of their time filling up
wood boxes and coal scuttles and
shaking down ashes, and fuel piles
will vanish like a snow bank under
July sun. The sudden change in the
temperature Sunday made the fuel
dealer smile. All have large stocks
on hand and there is very little dam
ger of there being fuel famine
in Wausau this winter, no matter
how long cold weather lasts.
A jury was secured this morning in
the case entitled State of Wisconsin
VS.. Jas. Kennedy. the defendant being
charged with burglary of the Athens
bank. Testimony was at once
begun and it is thought the case can
be finished before the end of the week.
The case is being prosecuted by the
district attorney, +. 2. Regner, while
the prisoner is being defended by
Attys. Fred Genrich and l.. A. Pradt.
Last night j. NJ. Baumen, a guard in
the state prison, brought Jos. Laid,
Kennedy's partner, to the city TO
testify for the defense. He will re-
main in the county jail until such
time as his testimony is asked for.
Evidently the case has created con-
siderable interest, judging from the
number of people assembled in the
court room to hear testimony.
