CHOICE OF MATERIALS.

Up to noon today the board of public
works had not received replys to all
OF the inquiries sent out to property
owners regarding their choice for paw
ing materials, to be used on Third,
Washington and Scott streets. The
number received, however, indicates
the general feeling. The result at
noon was:
Third -Creosote blocks, II;
brick, II; tar macadam, /; no choice, l..
Washington street-Creosote blocks,
/; brick, II; rock macadam, 6.
Scott -Creosote blocks, 2;
brick, 8; tar macadam, i; rock macad-
am, L: granitoid, /.
The choice for the three streets lies
between creosote blocks and brick,
fifteen favoring the former and twenty
seven the latter.
One property owner, in place of CIV
ing choice, wrote letter saying that
the writer could not afford to stand
the expense of such repairing; that it
would eat up such persons life's saw
ings; that when the street was first
paved it was understood that no more
expense would ever be put on the
property owners for improvements on
that street. Several property owners
expressed themselves as favoring de-
lay of one year or so in the repaving.

A NEAT STRIKE.

At a meeting of the Central Labor
Union held Friday evening, the mat
ter of high prices of the cost of living
was talked over. Delegates OF each
labor organization in the city were in
structed to bring the matter OF boy
colt on meat before their organizations
at the next meeting. Trhhesc are to
report at the next meeting oSthe
Central Labor Union and ifa majority
are in favor of a boycott, one will be
declared beginning Feb. 1. 1t is TO
extend for period of thirty days. If
it does not prove effective in reducing
the price of meat in that time it will
be continued for another thirty days.
We have no means OF knowing how
many men are affiliated with the
labor bodies of this city, but we
learn that if meat strike" is in
augurated it will not be confined to
union labor alone-at least the union
men will try to carry it TO as maLy
homes as possible. The effect win be
watched by the public with interest.
We are told that at Friday nights
meeting nearly every labor body in
the city was represented, and the
general sentiment was that such
strike should be declared.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Stevens Point high school team
defeated our high school team last
Friday in this city, by score Of 23-1l.
In the preliminary game the high
school second team defeated the
Senior Bible class team of the Y. NJ.
C. A., by score of 1881.
During the first half the Stevens
Point team did some good and some
very lucky basket shooting and at
the end of the half the score stood
100. During the second half our
team allowing them to make about
seven points while they themselves
made six, leaving the final score 2S-ll.
To part of the WauSau team this was
the first real inter-scholastic game,
and if they continue to improve the
way they did in the last half of the
Stevens Point game, there will be no
doubt that they will win the rest of
the season.

FAREWELL DINNER.

Last Friday evening the pupils of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Howard rendered
them farewell dinner at the Bells
House. While the event was to wish
the honored guests God speed, happi-
ness and prosperity in their new
home in Colorado, for which they
were soon to leave, nevertheless, the
evening was one round of pleasure
and enjoyment to those present. Mr..
and Mrs. Howard had spent most of
the time for five years in Wausau
teaching vocal music and all were
mindful of the fact that their going
meant great loss to Wausau in
musical as well as society circles. So
it was with feelings of deep regret
when farewells were said at the close
of the banquet. A handsome silver
mesh purse was presented to Mrs.
Howard by Miss Strouse, in behalf
of the students, who took occa-
sion to express the deep regret of
ourpeople generally at their departure.
Mr.. Howard responded in a happy
vein, assuring those present that their
stay in Wausau had been filled with
pleasure and their only reason for
going to Denver was that it gave
them larger field in which to work,
and afforded greater inducements for
the future. The evening was one
long to be remembered for its enjoy
ment.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

deliver his lecture on "Color in Ma
ture" in the auditorium of the high

and fifteen cents.

school gymnasium, Saturday evening,
Feb. 18th. The usual admission price
will be charged.
This announcement reminds us of
our dependence upon the courtesy of
others for the ordinary accommoda-
lions of modern school The two
county schools should be provided with
needed equipment at the earliest pos
sible date. Our building is not large
enough for present use and no pro-
vision is made for games and recrea-
ton. The pupils seek amusement
on the street or in questionable places
when better entertainment should be
afforded here
The proposed alumni-training school
debate seems likely to be indefinitely
postponed, as Mr.. Schooley teaches
beyond Stratford and could not con-
veniently confer and practice with
his colleague and there seems to be no
available substitute
Mr. and Mrs Wells entertained the
members of the school at their home
Saturday evening. A large number
were present and entered heartily in
to the recreations of the evening.
1t is worth while for the country
teachers to bear in mind the N. E..
Teachers Assn meeting at Oshkosh,
Feb. 4 and 5. A program of unusual
excellence has been prepared and a
special train Thursday will minister
greatly to the comfort of those who
go. If you didn't go TO Milwaukee

We shall be glad to have all alumni
attend Prof. Dudley's lecture. He
comes to demonstrate his steropticon

satisfactory. The net proceeds will
be devoted to the purchase Of slides
for the lantern. We shall be in a
position to visit your schools and give
your patrons an illustrated lecture.

to have parents of the pupils visit the

Mr.. r. II. johnson sends his paper
