At the annual meeting of the United
Commercial Travellers, held in Madi-
son last week, Wausau was awarded
the convention for 1910. At the same
time Wausau was given the grand
charter for the largest increase in
membership during the year. The
importance of this convention can be
estimated from the fact that at Madi-
son l,400 men were in line in the
parade, together with eleven bands.
A delegation went down from WauSau
for the express purpose of bringing
the convention here and the effort
was a success.
The Presbyteria have organized a
base ball team and play on the high
school grounds about twice week, a
scrub team picked up from among
their own members being the
opponents. The star player on the
professional team is Donald PloSS,
who is center fielder. He uses a
bicycle in fielding his position. He
has one foot on pedal while batter
is at the plate As soon as a home
run hit comes his way he jumps on
the seat and pedals for deep outfield.
| He then gets off his wheel near where
the ball was seen to drop and with
the use of divining rod he is able to
locate it. After getting the ball he
pedals back to the diamond and de-
liyeIs it to the shortstop and the lat
ter pegs it to the home plate. Some
times a runner is caught, if he be a
slow runner-SOMETIMEs.
The Record-Herald made the state
ment yesterday that Assessor George
SteltZ had just commenced assessing
the property holders on the west side.
Mr.. Steltz completed the real estate
assessment throughout the city pre-
vious to May 1st. The law would not
! permit of his assessing personal prop
erty prior to that date, hence, since
then he has been very busy finishing
up along this line and now has the
work nearly completed. We doubt if
there was ever an assessment made in
better shape or in quicker time than
has been made by Mr.. Steltz. The
board of review will meet the first
week in July and Mr.. SteltZ hopes to
have all his work completed by that
time. In travelling over the city he
finds many new buildings in course OF
construction.
