MUST PAY.

The railroad rate commission has
just decided quite an important ques-
tion and that is that public
utility corporation or compady has
the right to discontinue service if
a subscriber refuses to pay. A real
estate dealer in Milwaukee thought
his phone bill was excessive and re-
fused to pay it, and the telephone
company promptly cut off the service
to his office A suit was instituted
against the telephone company. 1t
was taken before the commission, the
telephone company winning its point.
This decision settles some hitherto
misunderstood features of the public
utilities law. 1t had been thought by
some that under this law public
service corporation was compelled to
furnish service to all who applied and
could not cut off SER ice from any
consumers on account of noIl-payment
of bills, but would have to go to the
courts to enforce payment.

MARRIED IN HASTE.

The following was clipped recently
from the Minneapolis Daily News and
refers to a young lady who claims
Wausau as her home. Upon inquiry,
and by consulting the city directory,
we have been unable to iocate the
young woman mentioned, but give the
story anyway:
"They came to see the fair and re-
manned to marry" Paraphrasing an
old saw" this is what happened to
Joseph Williams of Winnipeg and
Theresa Kline of Wausau, Wis, who
were married Friday by Court Com
missioner Bates.
Both came to the state fair and
Thursday met for the first time at
the Battle of Gettysburg" After a
brief courtship tbs proposal and ac-
ceptance followed, and Friday morn
ing q marriage license was obtained
at the office of the clerk of the
court.
.s'There was no Gettysburg in this
case" said Williams as he emerged
all smiles from the Office of the county
commissioner. 1T was surrender
right away
They left last night for the home
of the bride at Wausau. But we
like Minneapolis so we'll and things
have gone 50 nicely with US here, "
said Mrs. Williams, that We probably
will come TO live here. | think Joe
would like it, to.

BASE BALL.

The Wausau Base Ball association
will meet some time this week for
the purpose of winding up the sea-
sons business and selecting someone
to represent the association at the
league meeting which is TO be held
soon in Duluth. The secretary's
books show that the financial affairs
of the association are in very good
condition.
According TO figures which have
been submitted by President Elliott
the Wausau. team made the poorest
showing of any team in the league In
the matter of hits, fielding and errors,
and it seems strange that We did not
finish in last position. La Crosse
scored the highest number of runs,
hits and stolen bases; Eau Claire
made the fewest errors and had the
best fielding average. Superior made
the highest number of sacrifice hits.

THE PRINCESS GOES GALLorING.
 WEEK passed-an interesting TAI week in which few things hap HN pened openly. but in which c the entire situation underwent a subtle but complete change. The mail steamer brought disconcerting news from London. Chase was obliged to tell the islanders that notice of a contest had been filed. The lineal heirs had pooled their issues aud were now fighting side by side The mat ter would be in chancery for months, even years. He could almost feel the gust of rage and disappointment that swept over the island. although not word came from the lips of the sul- len population. The very silence was forebodlng.
 He did not visit the chateau during that perplexing week. It was hard, but he resolutely kept to the path of duty, disdalning the pleasures that beckoned to him. Every day he saw and talked with Britt and Saunders. They. as well as the brisk Miss Pel- ham, gave him the family news" from the chateau. It did not require extraordinary keenness on Chase's part to gathcf that her ladyship and Browne had suddenly decided to eB- gage in what he would call mild tirtatioD, but what Saunders looked upon as real attack of love.
 If had the nerve I'd call Browne good and hard" said Britt over his julep. Tt isn't right 1t isn't decent. The disappear for hours at a time, and they've always got their heads to- gether. Poor little Drusilla. She's from Boston. Chase, and can't retail ate. Besides. Deppingham wouldn't take notice If she tried The worst of it is Depplngham has got an idea that they may try to put him out of the way-hlm and Drusila. Awful. isn't 1t? And. say. by the way, Saunders is getting to dislike you intensely"
 ''I can't help 1t If he loves the only stenographer on the island" said Chase easily. You seem to be the only one who isn't in hot water all the time. Britt"
 Me and the princess" said Britt la- conically Chase looked up quickly, but the others face was as straight as

 ''-.i is SD easy to be hero, Mir. Chase, when one k quite sure there k no real daugcr." she said. with distinct irony in her tones One can afford to b,. melodramailt if he knows his part so well as you know yours"
 Chase felt his face burn. lt was a direct declaration that he had planned the whole affair in advance. He kicked the ashes from his cigarette and then tossed lt away. hcsitating long before replying.
 Nevertheless have the greatest re- spect for the courage which brings you {" my side. dare say you are quite justified in your opinion of me It all must seem very theatrical to you. iiad not thought of 1t In that light. l shall now retire from the center of the stage lt will be perfectly safe for you to remain here-just as 1t was for me, |" He was leaving her without another word or look She repeated.
 Il am sorry for what l sald." she said eagerly. "And'-she looked up at tie hills with sudden widening of her eyes-"I think 1 shall not remain" !"
 Chase made light of the occurrence. but sought ,o impress upon the others the fact that 1t was prophetic of more serious events in the future. In a per fcctly cold blocded manner he told them that the islanders might rise at
 The people are angry. and they win become desperate. Their interests are mine. of course. am perfectly sin cere in saying to you. Lady Depping- ham. and tO you. Mir Browne. that in time they will win out against you in the courts. But they are impatient. They are not the kind who can wait and be content It is impossible for you to carry out the provisions of the will and they know It. That Is why they resent the delays that are im- pcndlng."
 Dcppingham told him of the scheme proposed by Saunders. treating 1t as a vast joke. Chase showed momen- tary sign of uneasiness, but covered It instantly by laughing with the oth- CTS. Strange to say, he had been in structed from London to look out for just such q coup on the part of the heirs-not that the marriage could be legally established. but that 1t might create complication worth avoiding.
 He could not help looking from Lady Deppingham to Bobby Browne. cal culating gleam in his gray eyes. How very dangerous she could be, He was quite ready to feel very sorry for pretty Mrs. Browne. He sat opposite to the princess. His eyes were re- freshing themselves after months of fatigue; his blood was coursing through new veins. And yet his head was calling his heart fool

been discovered by the miners. "Will you come with me nowY'
 Ut seems so absurd! But I will come. of course have no desire to cause you any uneasiness."
 As they rode swiftly back to the tree lined road faint chorus of yells came to them across the valley. For some distance they rode without speaking a word to each other. They had trav- ersed two miles of the soft dirt road before Chase discovered that Selim was the only man following them. The two men who had come out with the princess were not in sight.
 "The dogs. So. you see, princess. your escort was not to be trusted" said Chase grlmly,
 But they have stolen the horses" !" she murmured irrelevantly. They be- long to the chateau stables"
 Which direction. did they take, Se- lim?"
 They rode off by the Carter's high way, eycellency, toward Arafat"
 Tt may not appeal to your vanity, your hlghness, but It Is my duty to in- form you that they have gone to re- port our clandestine meeting.'
 "Clandestine. What do you mean, sir?"
 The islanders are watching me like hawks. Every time am seen with any one from the chateau they add a fresh nail to the coffin they are prepar- ing for me. It's really more serious than you imagine. must therefore forbid you to ride outside of the park"
 q dare say you are right, MT. Chase" she said at last, quite frankly. T thank you"
 "I am glad that you understand" he said simply. His gaze was set straight before him. keen, alert, anxious.
 'I begin to fear. Mir. Chase" she said. with faint smile. that Lady Deppingham deceived me in suggest ing Japat as a rest cure. It may in- terest you to know that the court at Rapp-Thorberg has been very gay this winter. My brother, Christobal. has been with us after two years absence. He came with his wife from the ends of the earth aud my father forgave him in good earnest. Christobal was very dlsobedient in the old days. He refused to marry the girl my father chose for him. Was 1t not foolish of him?"
 Not if it has turned out we'll in the end"
 ''l dare say it has-o will She is delightful. My father loves her. And my father-the grand duke, should say--does not love those who cross him. One Is very fortunate to have been born prince" He thought he detected note of bitterness in this raillery.
 Il can conceive of no greater for tune than to have been born Prince Karl of Brabetz,' he said lightly. She flashed a quick glance at his face, her eyes narrowing In the effort to divine his humor.

The power ful car. provided by Arthur K L. Watson. who has become an enthusiast over the possibilities of Whitehead's machine. developed considerably more speed than did Watson's 30 h. p. car. used at the trials during the morning. but the big aeroplane refused to as- cend more than a few inches.
 Whitehead wanted the tests with an automobile to secure figures on the force necessary to make the machine fly. He and Mir. Watson were un- daunted at the close of their trials. and they expect the machine soon to be cleaving through the clouds under power of its own motor of 100 h. p.
