The rafllers of ducks and geese are
having hard time of it in the city
this fall. Several keno games have
been started, but We're closed by the
police, upon orders from higher author
| ity. This gives the near 10y country
saloon an opportunity to ply the
game, but they may suffer for it if
the officers do their duty.
Wausau is still enjoying the beauti-
full fall weather which has been with
us for the past two weeks. 1t could
not be finer. Our people are going in
to the country every day on long auto
mobile drives, or taking short
drives and picnicing, or seeking some
of our parks. 1t is really too fine to
remain indoors. But, remember,
there's fierce time coming, 50 pre-
pare for it.
| The fourteen-inch main of the
water extension feeding the East hill
| reservoir and which will eventually
| be laid across the river to the west
side and practically form a loop, has
been connected with the smaller
main on Grand Ave Since the con
nection was made, people residing in
| the lower part of the city say that
| the water has been better and the
| pressure greater. We are told that
| the tiremen had good pressure at the
time of the fire in the Wisconsin Box
and Lumber Co.'S yards a few days
| ago.
Beginning with last Friday a re-

| ing yital&tatistics in each county TO
| be filed with the register of deeds.
| The old law was repealed two years

with the secretary of state. This
caused an endless amount of trouble
and Inconvenience At the last SEES
sion of the legislature the old law was
again put on the statute books.
Hereafter the records of all marriages,
births, deaths and accidents can be
| found in the office of the register
| where they belong.
The fall term of the county agricul-
tural school opened yesterday. There
was an enrolment of forty-two, thirty
of whom are girls. This is about the
average number of students which
| have been enrolled in the fall, on the
opening day, for several years past.
Later on the number will be increased,
for some of the boys who will later
attend are kept home now on account
of ploughing, etc. A new face is seen
in the school this year among the
| faculty. Miss Hattie Dahlberg OF
Marinette, has succeeded Miss Emma
| Conley in the domestic science de
partment.
| Nearly all of yesterday was taken
up by Judge Miller in hearing testi-
mony in a case wherein it is sought to

years. The family formerly lived in
