Bryan May Tour IN Wisconsin

A movement is on foot to secure a
tour of William Jennings Bryan
through this state this fall something
on the order Of his weeks trip in Wis
consin two years ago.
The plan is to make it a lecture tour
and political trip combined, and if Mr..
Bryan can be secured for a week in
Wisconsin, leading democrats say the
lecture engagements will be provided
for him.
The idea originates with a number
of democrats who think that Wiscon-
sin is even more ripe for democratic
political revival than it was two years
ago and has been discussed in letters
which have been interchanged between
several democratic leaders in thestate
The people think that the revelations
which have been made in the Stephen
son investigation, together with the
known opposition of a large wing of
the republican party in the state to
the new tariff law, will bring many
accessions to the democratic party if
Mr.. Bryan can give it his aid here at
the time.
1T is said that if the presence of Mr..
Bryan can be secured i'm this state ar
engagements will be made if possible to
have him visit here either in November
or December.
If trip is arranged it is likely the
western part of the state will be visited
and that the tour will include such
cities as Wausau, La Crosse, Eau
Claire, Superior, Ashland and perhaps
Madison and GAINESVILLE. Milwaukee

BANKRUPT.

S. n. Bridge & Son, one of the oldest
business firms in Oshkosh filed volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy in the
United States court for the Eastern
district of Wisconsin at Milwaukee,
last week.
The liabilities of the firm amount
to between $4,000 and $1,000, accord
ing to their attorneys. The assets in
clude three or four pianos, a quantity
of sheet music anu some postal cards,
with value of not over $500. The
firm also owns four lots in Wausau,
valued at $1,000, and mortgaged for
1000. When the exemptions are
taken out, it is hardly probable that
the creditors will get any considerable
dividend, it is said.
Most of the Indebtedness is to
several banks. The banks are partially
secured by piano notes, the firm hay
ing sold pianos on contract and taken
notes in part payment, then discount
ing the notes at the banks.
About seven or eight years ago the
firm opened a musical merchandise
store in this city, which was con-
Quoted for number of years. The
store was not profitable institution
and the stock was sold and transferred
to another piano house, there being
entanglements which resulted in liti-
cation.
The elder Bridge visited Wausau
frequently and is man well up to
eighty years OF age-too old to recoup
his fortune.

PROCLAMATION

The Marathon County Fair will
begin Tuesday, August 31st, and con-
tinue for four days. The Marathon
County Agricultural Association has
done much to develop this section of
the state and has been especially help
full to this city in advertising the
agricultural resources of the county.
The society is deserving of all support
that we can give to it.
All good citizens are therefore re-
lested to help make the fair sue
cess. This can best be done by urging
every one to attend for at least one day.
Manufacturers and merchants are es-
pecially called upon to so arrange their
business that those in their employ
may have a whole day in which to
view the exhibits and see the races.

SEPTEMBER SAYINGS.

September received its name from
Septem, seven, as being the seventh
month of the Roman year, which be-
gan with March. The Romans. how
ever, found that in making the month
the seventh in the year, it brought
Labor day around too early-that is,
it brought it around at time when
capitalists were at the seashore and
could not be impressed with the par
AIDE, speeches, etc.
Domitian, who was the Bob LaFol-
lette of those days, was one of those
who made complaint and he named
the month Germanicus. Like our
own Teddy he went hunting in Africa
and while he was absent, the reigning
emperor changed the policy of num-
bering the months but retained the
name and it is the only name in the
calendar remaining as it was in the
beginning.
Mars this month will be only a.
000,0 900 miles distant from WauSau.
1t is expected that Mars will pass us
and several men of science have sug-
gested that our people do something
to attract the people of Mars, while
they are doing the passing act. David
Starr has suggested that everyone say
''booh' all at once. Then comes Har-
riman who says that if we do that
prosperity never will return.
On the 22d the sun will score a touch
down by crossing the equator and on
that day the summer with its mos
quitoes, freckles and dog days will
pass to the great beyond and the
autumnal season will be ushered in.
The Zodiacal signs for the month will
be Virgo until the 22d and Libra the
balance of the month. People born
under the influence of Virgo are not
easily swerved and they usually sue
coed in getting lower berth in a
sleeping car when the black man SAYS
there are none left. People born UNI
der the influence of Libra are easily
satisfied and are inveterate limburger
cheese eaters The moon will have a
full face on the 29th, resembling a
man with his mouth full of cornmeal
mush. 1t is said that the September
moon is the only one under which
anyone ever committed bigamy.
President Taft will start out on his
trip to the Pacific coast on the 18th.
Knowing that His Royal Corpulence
is addicted to the habit of eating,
the people residing in the different
towns along the route of travel are
arranging something which is called
by various names, depending on who
the eater is. For poor man it is
called a supper, fellow whose blood
is just little bit bluer calls it dinner,
but for the president no other name
will do but banquet. He will eat his
way across the continent, and it will
be a severe test for railroad bridges.
The tariff on clothing will be felt
toward the end of the month and
then Aldrich, Cannon, ct. al. will be
damned some more by long suffer
ing public.
