Cone for Wednesday evening, February
MOVED TO GREEN BAY.

The Chicago Excelsior Co, which has
operated the excelsior mill on the town
line road since 1898, is dismantling
the plant and moving to Green Bay.
The boiler house at the Green Bay
plant is about completed and the exca-
walton for the factory, which will be
50xS0 it,, is ready for the foundations
The work of dismantling the founda-
tions of the Wausau plant, preparatory
to moving the engine, boilers and ma
chinery is now under way. The ware
house will probably be moved also.
Cheap lake freight and a more easily
obtained supply of raw material are
supposed to be the cause of the change.
Manager Ole Biller left for Green Bay
this noon in order to superintend the
work there. He says the Eastwood
bolts now on hand will be shipped to
Green Bay
There viii be general regret to see
this substantial plant leave Wausa6 and
the many friends of Mir. Biller hope
that the move will not take himself and
family away from the city.
The factory site on the town line
rcad. lying as it does, between the St
Paul ard c. K n w. r. R. tracks. is
one of the best located sites in the city
aud viii no doubt soon be utilized by a
manufacturing plant of some kind.

WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY COSTS7
The Costs in the Conlin- Brand Case Will Amount
to Some $500 or $4O0-The Attorneys Say
the Councilmen Will Have to Stand It,

There is considerable discussion as to
who will have to pay the costs in the
Brand case. This case, it will be re-
membered, was an action brought
abo.lt year ago by b. III. Conlin to
have the city council revoke the liquor
license of Fred Brand, on the charge of
selling liquor to his (Conlin's) minor
ward, young man about is years of
age. At the hearing before the coun-
Gil, it was shown and Mr.. Brand admit
ted that the liquor had been sold as
charged, but that the sale was made
during his absence and against his or
ders by his bartender The council re-
fused by vote of eleven To six to re-
woke the license. A writ of mandamus
was then sought in municipal court, to
compel the council to revoke the license
and the writ was refused by Judge
Marchett An appeal was then taken
to the supreme court and about month
ago that court decided in favor of the
relator, b. Ii. Conlin. The court held
that while it was too late to compel the
council to revoke the license, as that
license had already expired, the relator
was entitled TO judgment for the
costs. These costs will amount to $500
or $500, the exact amount will not be
known until the record is returned

from Madison This record should be
here this week as the usual thirty days
after the decision expired yesterday.
The prosecution holds that the judy
ment for costs lies against the defend
ant aldermen, who voted not to revoke
the license and that proceedings will at
once be taken to collect the judgment
from chem
We understand that the eleven alder
men who voted not to revoke, take the
position that the city must pay the
costs AS we understand it, the opin-
ion of ex-City Atty. Rosenberg, rs
stated ut the time the license matter
was before the council, was that the
aldermen would be personally liable
for any costs arising from their refusal
to obey the law, and his Interpretation
agreed with the opinion of the supreme
court. 1t is said that the city attorney
also holds that the city is not liable.
As number of the eleven council
men who voted not to revoke, are
execution proof, it promises to be a
costly matter for those having prop
erty There is some talk that the
Saloon Keepers association promised
to stand back of the aldermen in the
matter of costs in order to have a decis-
ion from the supreme court.

At the annual meeting of the directors
of the league held in Milwaukee Sun
day and Monday, Wausau and Lacrosse
were thrown out, Racine succeeding
Lacrosse and Appleton taking Wausau's
franchise. The motion was put by
President Pulliam of the Oshkosh team,
who was supposed to be friendly to
Wausau, but who, as it turns out to be,
is more friendly to his own street car
interests between his home city and
Appleton. 1t appears that the matter
was all cut and dried before the meet
ing and it appears further that Pres
Moll is at the bottom of the whole af-
fair. Everything points to this. 1t is
an underhanded piece of business.
Wausau is to get 81 900 for its franchise
and players Whether the players will
be sold for that amount will be deter
mined later. 1t may be that they will
be retained as a nucleus for a team in y
new league which will include Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota towns. In event
this league is formed it will be class c
organization, having the right to draft
players from the WI. league. Wau-
sau admirers of the game feel pretty
sore at what has been handed to them.

MRS. AUG. W. SCHMIDT.
Does Not Long Survive Her Husband.
Passes Away Quietly.

Mrs. Aug w. Schmidt breathed her
last at about LIS on Thursday morn
ing. Although she had been ill for a
day, death was not expected. Friday
morning she was taken i'll. Always a
great reader, she sat that morning
reading a book. A domestic in the
household saw the book fall out of her
hands and noticing that something was
wrong approached Mrs. Schmidt and
found that she was unconscious. She
was gotten into bed and her sons and
daughter were called. A physician
was at once summoned anu he found
from examination that her entire right
side was paralyzed She did not re-
gain consciousness and died in that
condition at the hour stated.
Mrs. Schmidt's maiden name was
Charlotte Neuman. She was born in
Brellentine, Kreis Pieritz, province of
Pommern, Ger, April s, 1885 She
came to this country with her parents
in July, 1857. On January 81, 1859,
she was married to Aug. Schmidt, and
had they lived until the 3lst of the pres
ent month they would have celebrated
their golden wedding Her husband
died Dec. z, of last year, their deaths
being 80 days apart. They both
breathed their last at about the same
hour of TIE day.
The early life of Mr.. and Mrs.
Schmidt, like that of all farmers, was
full of toll and hardship. They
went into wilderness in the town of
Berlin and hewed out productive
farm. Anyone who has gone through
the experience of clearing land will
understand what it means to produce a
farm where there was once nothing but
forest. They did not lose hope in
their struggle and finally conquered
and the sun of prosperity shone upon
them.
In 1879 MIR. Schmidt was elected
register of deeds of the county, and he
and his family then moved into the
city and the family has continued to re-
side here ever since at 5l4 First street.
A sunrise is, in way, beautiful, but
it is the set of sun at eventide that is
most admired So it is in the lives of
some people, and the closing years OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidts lives were their
most happy ones. They were continu-
ally in one another's company and the
attachment for one another seemed TO
grow daily. The death Of Mr.. Schmidt
few weeks ago preyed heavily upon
his wife and no doubt that event
FASTENED her end
Mrs. Schmidt IS survived by one
daughter and four sons, Mrs. VIM.
Schoeneberg, Robert. Albert, William
and Fred, all residents of this city. All
were at her bedside when the end
came.
The funeral was held at ] 80 Satuf-
day afternoon from the home, Rev. f..
Werhahn conducting the services. The
pail bearers were the same as at MIR.
Schmidt's funeral: John Kiefer. Hugo
Peters, John Gebhart, Fred Jawort,
Henry Seim and Gottlieb Kurth.

WAUSAU STREET RY. co.

The Wausau Street Railway Go. yes
terday paid dividend of s per cent and
this morning the many of our citizens
who are lucky enough to own stock
were given a check for the amount due
them. The sum of eight or ten thou
sand dollars was thus distributed
among our home people, very little 60
ing outside.
The company in its circular made
the following statement:
''The board of directors at meeting
January, 1909, declared per cent div
ideDd on stock of this company com
puted as follows per cent on all
stock paid for or issued prior to Decem-
Der LIST, 1907, including stock issued in
payment for purchase of stock of Wau-
sau Electric Co. s per cent on last is
sue of S9l 900 computed from time
money was paid up to January 1st, 1909
This dividend brings all stock TO an
equality on January LIST, 1909"
The street railway has and will con-
tinue to prove very profitable invest
ment to all who have placed their money
in it. Those who have always been en-
thusiastic over the venture felt that
it would prove of great value in the
growth of our city and safe and very
profitable way to invest ones surplus
capital No doubt but what the line
will soon be extended to Brokaw and
this with large paper mill at Roths-
childs, which is sure to come, viii vast
ly enlarge its money making facilities.
The small, as well as the large, stock
holder will no doubt find his invest
ment in the Wausau Street K. r. Co. q
valuable one, with the affairs conducted
as they are at present.

rights on the lands which will be
overlooked by the construction of
the Rothschilds dam.
Among the lands which they pur-
chased outright and which will be
almost entirely submerged are
Maple island, which lies back of
Judge Henry Millers home on
Grand avenue; the old Ransom
Lille farm, lying on the fat west of
the road leading to the asylum and
the Fred Bandy farm lying across
the river from the asylum. The
flowage will also back up above the
McLeary bridge which crosses Rib
river south of the Seventh ward.
All the low land in the vicinity will
be put under water and the bridge
will have to be moved further up
the river
The river Immediately south of
Strollers' bridge will be raised an
average of eight inches, flowing
much of the land below the United
States Leather Co.'S plant.
A new bridge over the Wisconsin,
at some point below, to give an out
let to the farmers living on the east
side of Rib hill, may have to be
built.
The creation or evolution of a
beautiful lake, a veritable summer
resort, out of all this develop
ment will doubly endear the pro-
moters to the public. A lake eight
miles long, reaching from the pro-
posed dam to Wausau and up Big
Rib river, to the mouth of Little
Rib river, a distance of four miles,
raising the water at that point
from three to five feet. Big Rib
river, up to that point, will be
navigable for all boats and launches.
Business men, generally, through
hout the city expressed them
selves today as regarding this enter
prise as the largest ever undertaken
in Northern Wisconsin. lis stock
holders and promoters are those men
of wealth whose homes and business
interests are to great extent cen.
tered in Wausau, and it is regarded
the forerunner of other great under
takings which will build, develop and
enrich Wausau beyond the dreams of
her greatest boosters.

3. 3. NOTES.

The following items were written be-
fore the bad news came from Milwaukee:
Chas. Ferguson, manager of the
WaDsau [ase ball team, was 10 the city
for few sssys last week for confer
ence with the directors of the club
With his usual yigor Mr. Ferguson is
picking up q fine team for next season.
Notwithstanding the salary limit handi-
cap he has succeeded in inducing Ban
denhagen, McAnley, Buemiller, Gard
ner. Potter, Bartos and Dooner of last
years team 10 return and it is possible
that others viii come back. Erickson
and Dunbar have been sold to St. Paul
and Lang and Miller belong to the
Chicago White Sox. These will be
given a trial in the spring and if they
do not prove to be what the owners ex-
pect of them. they may return to Wan
sau. Fox, it is thought, will not be
seen n second base next season. He
has an offer Is manage team down in
Indians and will probably buy his RS
lease. From the present outlook Gard
ner will be placed on second base.
10 addition TO the above, Manager
Ferguson has practically secured the
services of five other players One of
these is VIM. Ii. Larson, who last year
batted .403 with the Sioux Falls, S. d ;,
team. One is S. Melton of last years
Des Moines. Ia, .sam, a pitcher who
lost only six out of thirty games played.
A third is q. r Rugby of East Liver
pool, Q another pitcher with a record
equally as good as Melton's. The
fourth is Amos Hutton of PiGtsburg,
Pa. who played last year with Sedalia,
Mo, in the Western association. An
other is Amos Peterson of Chiffon, Wis,
a pitcher, Peterson has made a fine
record with amateur teams and it is ex-
pected has the goods. Manager Fergu-
son is negotiating with several strong
catchers and will land some of them.
From the present outlook it appears
that the Wausau team next year will
be nearly, if not quite, the equal of last
years pennant winners.
Those interested in the affairs of the
Fond du Lac club met Friday night and
decided to purchase the clubs franchise
from Mr.. Reinig for 81, 800 A fund of
about SO $50 will also DE raised to
finance this seasons team
