TO RIB HILL.

A party of Wausau Business college
students, chaperoned by Mr.. and Mrs.
G. A. Cowee, enjoyed trip to Rib
hill last Saturday. The party left the
college at 9 a. m. by team and re-
turned at $50 p. m. The trip both
ways was somewhat of reminder of
the days of the stage coach. The
singing of songs, the rumble of the
coach and ever changing scenery all
added to the pleasure of the party.
The weather was ideal. The beauti-
full foliage, rugged scenery, and the
climb to the highest point In the
state, about which a volume might
be written, was undoubtedly the most
interesting part, as many of the
members had never been there before.
After returning from the summit,
dinner was spread near a spring of
cool, refreshing water. With plenty
TO eat and drink, ravenous appetites
were soon appeased.

ELECTED OFFICES.

The Wausau Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION held its annual meeting Fri
day night and elected officers. Jas.
Montgomery, who is no longer a
merchant, retired from the presidency
of the association, which position he
has held for two years. 4. l.. Hud-
son succeeds him and Henry Seim was
elected secretary and Albert Raprae-
ger treasurer. Nathan Heinemann,
in behalf of the association, presented
Mr.. Montgomery with an engraved
gold headed cane.
The association discussed the mat
ter of securing better shipping facili-
ties for this city and better freight
rates-both in and out. There was a
prevalence of opinion that something
ought to be done TO improve the
wagon roads leading out of Wansau.
1t is quite likely that funds will be
solicited to carry the work along, and
that the automobiles will be asked
to assist in the matter.
1t was decided to have matter
printed, advertising the resources of
the city, to be sent out in the cores
pondence of every member of the as

TREASURERS ORGANIZE.

The Wisconsin County I'reasurers'
association was launched in Wausau
last Wednesday, when a meeting for
organization was held in the court
house, upon call of Herman Vetter,
treasurer of this county. The attend
ance was not large-it seldom is at
meetings of organization. Mr.. Vetter,
after stating the object OF the meet
ing, was chosen chairman. The cleo
tion of officers resulted as follows:
President, j. E. Keefe, Oconto; vice
president, Herman Vetter, Wausau;
secretary, John Luck, Portage; treas
urer, Anton Ritger, Appleton. The
association may decide to attempt TO
have the law limiting the number of
successive terms county treasurer
may hold office amended so that he
may serve longer, providing he is
elected. Following the meeting the
visitors we're taken in automobiles to
points OF interest, including Roths-
childs and the state trial orchard.

INJUNCTIONAL MATTER.

Oscar L. Ringle for plaintiff, and f.
E. Bump for defendant, presented
their arguments before Judge Reid
Saturday on the temporary restrain
ing order of the court in an injunction
issued to Hans Weik against the
mayor, treasurer and city council.
This order, as has been previously
stated in these columns, was to pre-
vent any more money being trans
ferred to other funds from the city
hall fund.
Mr. Ringle argued that the city
treasurer, under the provisions of
law, has no right to take any money
out of any special fund for any pur-
pose other than what the fund was
created for. He claimed any tax
payer has right to enjoin city If
he is suffering or going to suffer loss
through its action.
Mr.. Bump claimed that if the city
treasurer, even if ordered by the
council, had no right to transfer
money from one fund to another,
then $40, 1000 of the city hall fund had
been unlawfully raised. After the
water works bonds had been refunded
$4,000 was taken from the S35, 600 in
the water works bonds fund and
placed in the city hall fund. He
argued that the latter fund had not
been misappropriated, but that the
money had been used at various times,
to save making loans and paying in
terest to banks. BY doing this tax
payers had been benefited instead of
suffering financial loss. A tax payer,
he said, has no right to serve an in
junction on the city, unless he is go
ing to sustain financial injury or loss.
Judge Reid took the matter under
advisement and will render decision
i'm few days.

The Wausau Base Ball association
is represented at the annual NV.
league meeting today by its president,
w. r. Bryan. The meeting is being
held in Duluth. AT this meeting an
effort will be made to make an eight
club league of the organization. Pres
ident John Elliott has received appli-
cations for admission from Red Wing,
saltwater, some of the Mesaba range
towns and even Canadian cities.
These will be carefully considered.
AT this meeting reports of the sea-
sons business will be read and the
figures made public. 1t is believed
that all of the cities will show a sue
cessful year, at least none will report
any material losses. Duluth, Super
ior and Winona will report financial
gains, through large attendance at
home games. Eau Claire and La
Crosse sold some players and the
money derived from their sale ought
to put their treasury in good condi-
ton. Wausau will not lose any money
if all the pledged donations are col
lected.
When Mr.. Bryan returns he will call
local meeting and report the bust
ness of the league meeting. Officers
will be elected and plans made for
next year.
