NARROW ESCAPE.

Firemen were called to the Dan
Nickolai shoe repairing shop, 254
Grand Ave-, at an early hour Thurs
day morning. The building was a
very old wooden affair, and burned
like tinder, but the firemen succeeded
in keeping the flames confined and
thus saved adjoining property. The
building is total loss.
Mr.. Nickolai conducted a shoe re-
pairing shop in it, and the rear room
served him as kitchen, dining room,
parlor, bed chamber, conservatory,
library, smoking room and den.
He was awakened in the morning,
and found the room ablaze, and made
his escape therefrom quicker than he
got out of Russia when transporta-
tion to Siberia stared him In the
face, which story he delights to tell.
He left, he claims, about 5000 in cash
and a gold watch. Neither have
since been found.
A few minutes more of sleep would
have meant death to Mr.. Nicolai, and
possibly the destruction of more prop
erty, for he gave the alarm. The
fire got into the warehouse of Herman
Lemke, wherein was stored large
tank of kerosene, and did some DAM
age. 1t is supposed to have origin
ated from defective stove.

WELL INSURED.

The burning of the Palace roller
rink in Merrill brings back to our
mind two incidents which happened
at the time or shortly after it was
opened. Everybody in that burg
went dippy over skating, even to peo-
pie of mature years, raising large
families. One woman, as was told at
the time wanted to go to the rink,
but didn't have the price, so she took
pair of trousers her husband had
just purchased, ana raised money on
them by making q trade with one of
those three golden ball fellows.
Another, as was stated at the time,
went to store where the family had
credit, and purchased small sack of
-four ION tick for S1.80 and sold it to
a neighbor for 75c, to get money to
go to the rink.
The rink was built at cost of $13,-
600 by Senator Jas. Wright of Merrill,
and Mark Bells, Ovid Belanger and
Dan Healey of this city. Several
hundred Wausau people went up to
attend the opening, and the first sea-
son the rink proved to be gold
mine. The owners had planned a
series of entertainments to be given
in it after the holidays. A total of
$40, 900 insurance was carried on the
building and contents.

DIVISION CHANGED.

The division of the 500 r. r.,
which has been at Abbottsford for
many years, was moved to Stevens
Point recently and the whole force of
men were transferred to the above
city. This means quite an addition
of splendid people to our sister city,
and we rejoice with the people of
Stevens Point in the impetus thus
given to their growing city. The
Journal in commenting upon the ar
rival of the trains bearing the new
citizens from Abbotsford said:
"The expectations of Stevens Point
people are realized and the division is
here The first of the men and ap-
paratus to arrive was transported to
this city on train No. II, arriving at
2:11, Sunday afternoon. A crowd Of
about 300 citizens and band were at
the depot to welcome the new corners.
AS the train pulled in the band
played stirring piece and while the
new arrivals disembarked there was
much shaking of hands and greetings
exchanged, in fact, it was evident to
all that those who are to make their
homes here in the future were more
than welcomed"

NEW PENSION
LAW PROPOSED.
II 1t Passes Will Increase the Pension
Roll $4,000 900 Year.

A dispatch from Washington says
that according to a statement made
by member of the house committee
having charge of the pension appropri-
alton bill when that measure is re-
ported to the house the amount it
carries will be forty millions in excess
of the appropriations for the current
year.
This is due, it is said, to a rearrange-
ment of the amounts and the ages at
which service pensions now are
granted. Under the existing law a
soldier who served ninety days or
more and who has reached the age of
IS years is entitled to pension of Sl2
a month, at the age of 20 years to sl5.
a month and at the age of Is a pension
of $40 month.
Under the new plan pension of Sl5
a month is granted at the age of 81;
800 at IS years, S25 at 10 years and
$50 at Is years. Ine committee hav-
ing before it the age of present pen
sioners and their number was able to
figure out that the new plan will en-
tail an annual increase of forty mil
lions of dollars.

MYLREA AT RHINELANDER

w. H. Mylrea of this city delivered
an address at Rhinelander the past
week before the Mems club of the
Congregational church. The New
North made the following comments
on the address
"After the supper when the chairs
were pushed back, Attorney S. s.
Miller introduced former Attorney
w. H. Mylrea; the speaker of the
evening.
"Mr. Mylrea's address from start to
close was optimistic. The speaker
commented on the great changes
wrought in Rhinelander in the past
twenty-seven years since the early
eighties, when as rude lumber town
he first saw it.
"As to the future Of theupper Wis
consin valley, Mr.. Mylrea is certain
of its becoming one Of the best farm
ing sections of the United States and
held out that the possibilities of its
soil was not one half known. The go
ing of the timber marks the coming
of the grass and the planting of crops
and the development of the creamery
business. The talk was one to inspire
any citizen of this section with faith
in the future of the place where he
resides.

VERDICT POR PLAINTIFFS.

A jury returned verdict in circuit
court Tuesday night in favor of Geo.
Cook and the Mcmillan Grange Fire
Insurance Co. and against the Doud
& Sons Lumber Co. The cause for
action has been explained in previous
issues of this paper, the plaintiffs
suing to recover 81, 2l.10 on fire loss,
caused as was claimed by defendants
engine.
When the jury was charged Judge
O'Neill submitted seven questions
which were answered in substance as
follows:
l. The fire which destroyed Mr..
Cooks barn, hay and other property
was caused by sparks from defend
ants engine.
2. The spark arrester on the engine
was not in fact a spark arrester.
3. Defendant did not exercise or
binary care in the control of the en-
gine.
4. This failure caused the fire.
5. The value of plaintiffs barn and
shed was $657.75.
6. The value of his hay was $780,
7. The value of the remainder Of
the property destroyed was $3.50.
By this verdict Mr.. Cook and the
insurance company receive, if the
judgment is paid, 1885 less than
was sued for.

A BIG GAIN.

The figures given below are from a
report issued by the census bureau,
which also supplies other facts con-
corning the agricultural industry in
Wisconsin.
The excellent rate of So per cent. is
recorded as the increase of the value
of farm buildings erected in Wiscon-
sin during the ten years between 1900
and 1910, the value going from 1885,
els, 900 to S2S9, ,099, 900.
There was corresponding improve
ment in the value of farm lands.
The growth there was II per cent.
over the value of $500, ,443,0O of 1900.
The Bumber Of farms is placed at
l76,546 of an average of 119 acr esj
The average value of land with build
ings is S57 an acre; of land without
buildings, S43.
The combined value of farm land
and buildings is 81, ,197, SIS, 200. Dur
ing last year $40, ,O44 900 was expended

FROM THE ADVENT.

We take the following from the
December Advent of st. Johns church,:
CHRISTMAS AT THE INFIRMARY.
On Wednesday of Christmas week
the children who have been patients
at the Infrmary since its opening
will be invited to come at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon for a good time
at the Infrmary. OF necessity there
is something of dread in the minds of
the little ones, who have been treated
at the Infirmary, when they think of
the place-a Christmas frolic will be
an antidote to any such feeling.
There will be needed for this little
party some candy, cakes, ice cream,
or other good things to eat. This will
make the Infirmary good place to
which may be sent any excess of
candy and sweetme2ts from Sunday
Schools or private houses during the
Christmas season. Such things may
be sent to the Infirmary at any time,
mrrked, "For the Christmas Party"

MUST HAVE HAY.

A noticeable thing this winter is
this: When farmers bring in a load
of wood they usually go home with
several bales of hay on their sleigh.
The extremely dry season of last sum-
mer caused the only failure of the
hay crop ever known in this section.
The late rains helped the second crop
of clover along wonderfully as well as
alfalfa and oats sown for feed. Deal
ers have shipped in large quantities
of hay from the West and Southwest,
which has greatly relieved the situa-
tion. Most Of the hay shipped from
the Southwest is free from dust and
consequently good for horses troubled
with the heaves. 1t is said to be
much better for animals than is the
native hay.

THE ORIGIN OF NEW YEARS
CALLS.
Like Many Others Of Our Customs,
They Were Imported from China.

The custom of making New Years
calls, which had long run in Amer
lea, and is still extant, came original
ly from China, where such calls are
one of the main features of the bril-
liant and lengthy New Years celebra-
tion.
Every Chinaman pays visit to
each OF his Superiors, and receives
one from each of his interiors. I'm
ages of gods are carried in procession
to the beating of a deafening gong,
and mandarins go by hundreds to
the emperor and that apparently
much-maligned sovereign, the en-
press dowager, with congratulatory
addresses. Their robes are gorgeous
ly embroidered, and are heavy with
gold. The younger people call upon
the elder.
Children call upon their parents.
Pupils pay their respects to their
teachers. A light collation. is offered
every visitor, but it is to be noted, no
wine is served. Tea takes the place
pf any stronger drink. In China
gentlemen never call upon the ladies,
put upon each other, and the woman
also make social visits among them
selves. Nor is one obliged, happily,
TO make all his calls in one day, for
all calls made before the 18th of the
month are considered correct. These
calling customs have obtained in
China from earliest ages.

DIR. WYLIE MADE SUR
CEON IN CHIEF.
Local Physician at Head Of Randolph
Lines Medical Staff.

DR.. Win Wylie has been appointed
to the important post of chief sur
geon of the Randolph lines, succeed
ing the late DR.. George A. Goodfellow
in that Office.
DIR. Wylie purposes removing the
department. of which he is now the
head from Tucson to Phoenix and
has returned from the latter place,
where he completed the arrangements
for such removal.
DR.. Wylie's work in this connection
will be important and far-reaching,
and he will have under his direction
a number of assistants. AS the rail-
road system grows, the department
will become more and more import
ant, and it is high compliment to
the medical and surgical ability of
the Phoenix practitioner that he has
been selected for the post, and that
the work will be carried on from this
city.
DIR. Wylie has been resident of
Phoenix for sixteen years and his
skill has placed him well to the fore
front of his profession, not only local
ly but throughout the entire south
west.
DIR. Goodfellow, the new chiefs
predecessor, settled first in Tombstone
many years ago, later settling in Tue
son, and removing six years ago to
Los Angeles. He had been recog-
nized by the French Medical associa-
tion and also received medal at the
hands of the Mexican government for
valuable services after the great
earthquake. He served on General
Skaters staff during the Spanish
American war.-Phoenix Gazette.
DIR. Wylie was born in Wausau and
resided here for something like thirty
years, perhaps longer, and his old
time friends are mighty glad to hear
good news of him occasionally.
