RESUMES HIS CHAIR.

A. II. Grout will resume his duties
tomorrow as cashier of the First
National bank, after an absence of
four months. He has almost fully re-
covered his health and the vacation,
while it was forced one, did him
considerable good.
During the four months he has
been absent from the bank his face
has been greatly missed, for he has
been connected with the bank so long,
that everyone having business deal
ings with that Institution have come
TO know him.
Mr.. Grout went into the bank over
thirty-four years ago, when it was
known as the Silyerthorn & Plumer
bank. 1t was not then a national
bank. During all these years he has
been guiding force in every forward
movement of that institution, and
consequently all Of his friends are
glad to know that he has regained
his health and is able once more to
look after the duties of cashier.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grout and daughter
Edith, lately returned from a trip to
Toronto, Can, where they visited
their son and brother Clyde. They
also visited Niagara Falls and points
on the great lakes during their alb
sence. They were gone about a
month. and greatly enjoyed the trip.

COMMITTEE VISITS CITY.

The legislative committee on water
powers made trip through the Wis
consin river valley last week. The
committee arrived in Wausau on Tues
day evening and the party remained
here Wednesday and Thursday. The
party consisted of Senators II. p.
Bird, chairman, Paul o. Husting and
Henry Krumred and Assemblymen
VIM. M. Bray, Geo. p. Hambrecht, f.
w. Kubasta and Jas. E. Thomas.
On Wednesday morning the COM
mittee visited the different powers in
this city and also the one at Roths-
childs.
In the afternoon the committee
met in the offices of the Wisconsin
Valley improvement company for the
purpose of quizzing water power
owners. Geo. A. Whiting of Neenah,
who accompanied the party here, was
called. He told of the growth of the
paper mill industry on the Wisconsin
river and of the results being at
tanned by the Wisconsin River Valley
Improvement company. Following
Mr. Whiting, questions were applied
to Neal Brown, G.. ID. Jones and others
of this city and to L. NJ. Alexander of

There are two juveniles with exhi-

to attract them in two tents in which
are seated a Madam So-and-so who

a wheel of fortune which she claims
is strictly on the square. Then there
are three tents wherein performances
are given.
The ladies of the German M. K.
church are serving meals in the din
ing pavilion. There is no reason why
anyone should go hungry on the
grounds, for in nearly every other
stand coffee, red hots, sinkers, sam
handwitches, fried pigs ear and other
things are served. There is nothing
makes one hungrier than visiting a
county fair and getting Whit of a

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Cubs and Nationals played a
game Sunday at the base ball park
before fair sized number of people.
There has been considerable rivalry
between these teams and they went
into the game for blood. When the
scores had been counted up it was
found that the first mentioned team
was winner, 1875.
The Wausau team has a total of
seven games to play after today to
wind up the season. All will be
played with Eau Claire, five of them
on the latter's grounds. The games
next Monday morning and afternoon
will be the last league games to be
seen here this year, and the manage
ment desires a good turnout. The
afternoon will be half holiday with
most people, and there is no reason
why there should not be large at
tendance. In other cities business
men have on booster days raised a
sufficient sum to pay the admission of
1000 boys. Why can't that be done
here next Monday?
1t is possible that a number of
games will be played here at the close
of the season. An effort is being
made to arrange number of games
with fast amateur teams in the north
ern part of the state, to ill in the
time until Sept. II, the close of the
WI league season, when it is ex-
pected that Chas. Ferguson will bring
his Appleton crew here for a series of
games. If the latter games material
ize the patrons of the game will have
an opportunity of making compari-
son of hestrength OF the two leagues.
They should and no doubt will draw
large crowds.
Duluth has almost a lead pipe cinch
on the pennant. There are Al games
difference between the standing of
that city and Winona, with hardly
prospect of the latter nosing out.
The teams will finish in the positions
as shown above, except that there
may be some change in the stand
ing of Winona, Eau Claire and La
Crosse. Duluth has played one more
game than Superior, otherwise their
winnings and losings are reversed.

NEW FIRE ENGINE.

The city's new fire engine arrived
in Wausau Friday and was taken to
the east side engine house where 1t
can be seen by those interested. 1t
cost So, 200 and is larger and more
up-to-date engine than the old one.
The suction pipe is four inches in
diameter, 50 that it cannot be used
except in drawing water from the
river or a reservoir of some kind. 1t
is the intention of the board. of public
works to cause larger hose attach
ments to be placed on the fire plugs,
and later to have all the old fire plugs
in the central portion of the city re-
moved and ones with larger openings
to replace them. 1t is also likely that
platforms will be built along the
river so that water can be drawn by
either of the fire engines. The new
engine has been named John +.
Lamont, in honor of our mayor.

HOSPITAL PATRONESSES.
Wausau's Ladies to Cooperate With
the Sisters Of st. Mary's Hospital
In Relieving the Sick.

A meeting is being held this after
noon in the club house for the pur-
pose of organizing board of patron
eSses for st. Mary's hospital. The
matter has been under consideration
for some time, and has finally come
TO head. Several members of the
Ladies Literary club, who are too
modest to allow their names to be
mentioned in connection herewith,
have quietly talked the matter over
and finally the following ladies were
asked to serve, in assisting the sisters
in making it as pleasant as possible
for the sick and afflicted who are
brought into st. Mary's hospital:
Mesdames Alex Stewart, Chas. Win
ton, M. Mccullough, L. A. Pradt, E.
A. Gooding, w. C. Silverthorn, Clar-
ence Goodwillie, Newman Bells,
Bernhard Riebe, Benz. Heinemann,

A. w. Trevitt, Walter Alexander,
W. H. Mylrea, E. A. Morrison, Chas.
Wegner, Bernard Conlin.
Misses Bel Murray, Grace Living
ston, Helen Stewart.
All of these have consented to serve
and at the meeting this afternoon
DR.. Jos. Smith viii make an address,
telling how such boards of lady man
ayers conduct their work in other
cities, where the doctor has observed
their work.
Quite frequently patient is brought
to the hospital having little or no
supply of night dress undercloth-
ing, etc. The supply of reading mat
ter for the convalescents and flowers
to brighten the rooms is usually of
limited nature. These and many
other things can be supplied by the
ladies, and it is believed their efforts
will be appreciated by the patients
and by the sisters, who have their
hands full in nursing the twenty-five
or thirty patients, which is the aver
age number confined in the hospital
The above mentioned ladies will or
ganize themselves into committees,
each to look after certain branch of
the work, and the different com
mittees, by systematic cooperation,
can accomplish great good.

Did Not Have the "a and Slust Wait
While.

Harrington Sun: One night last
week our venerable justice Of the
peace. A. M. Crary, was held up on
the street by two young boys appar-
emily between the ages OF IS and 20
who bashfully slgnified an over
whelming desire to be married.
When asked by him II they wanted
to marry each other they confiden-
TALLY told him they had o couple
girls engaged for the purpose who at
that time, they said, we're up on the
streets. The Judge was rather suspic-
ious from the start regarding their
being of manageable age and so
asked II they had secured their IL
cense. Neither Of the youngsters
knew what license was but after
Mr.. Crary had explained It and its
necessity they signified their ihten-
ton to secure one. One Of the lads
who probably forms the nucleus OF .
future great financier next desired
to know what a license would cost.
The Judge told them It would cost -
and the boys Immediately took an
inventory Of their cash stock on hand
and found they were but . few cents
short Of the desired amount, Sur
missing the Judge might lave claim
for his services the young financier
casually asked II that included every
thing and how long 1t would take to
get a license. The Judge toi> them
one had to send to Abilene for II
censes and that It could not get here
till the next noon, Disheartened
plainly the lads excused themselves
remarking as they left the room, I'VE
wanted to get married"
