better bridge facilities between South

New York, September 4,-There was
pronounced irregularity and unsette

the nearby deliveries. This created
no wonderment. as ALMOST all dealers
appeared to expect a decline, because
there was a great preponderance of

Factors In the Market.
For one thing, receipts at Chicago
and Northwestern points continued
large, and hence there was another
big addition to the visible supply, not
withstandtng the decrease in the Snip

where farmers are making much
smaller deliveries to country stations,
being unwilling to accept current bids

AS TO SCARLET FEVER.

The situation as regards contagious
diseases in the city does not improve
as satisfactorily as is to be desired.
There are at present seventeen homes
in the city placarded, for the follow
ing diseases: Scarlet fever, diphtheria,
measles. The diphtheria cases are
all very light. The following are the
scarlet fever cases:

Geo. Green, age 10 years, 704 Wash

Sarah Schroeder, age Is years, and

West street.
Besides these there are six cases of
diphtheria, 2 of measles and of ty-
phoid fever. Scarlet fever and diph-
liberia will continue as long as this
kind of weather continues and as
long as Schofield and Wausau people
mingle. The disease is claiming
victims almost daily in the village
south of us.

BASE BALL CHAT.

The base ball season was uShered in
yesterday in Wausau in very auspic-
ious way. Shortly after the dinner
hour crowds began to gather on Third
street awaiting the parade, and the
city took on Holiday air-in fact
Mayor Lamont proclaimed half holt
day. The Columbia band marched up
the street, took a position in the band
stand on the county square and
spelled several pieces. At 2:l5 the
parade formed, the band leading, fol-
lowed by automobiles carrying the
mayor, chief of police, the officials
and managers of the Superior and
and fans. Hundreds followed on foot,
in buggieS, buses and street cars.
Hugo Peters at the ticket reel was
the busiest man in town, and rivaled
lightning change maker in circus
ticket wagon. In very short time
the entire grand stand was sold out,
the bleachers were groaning under
the weight OF hundreds of bugs and
the fences were bordered with innum-
cradle vehicles and automobiles.
For week day crowd it was perhaps
larger than any seen on the grounds
at any time in past seasons. 1t de-
notes that the people are taking the
interest manifested in the game in
1908.
The game was devoid OF an par
ticular features, except one. 1t was
slow, and not up TO the gilt edge
standard. The errors of the Superior
team were largely responsible for
Wausau winning by score O. AZ. In
one inning Wausau worked double
steal, Lakoff coming home from third.
The same play was worked by Wausau
in a game in La Crosse last week.
With two on bases in one inning yes
terday, Dolan came to bat and was
purposely walked by the opposing
pitcher, who was afraid of "Biddy'so
stick.
Umpire McDermott, sent here to
off1ciate in the games, reminds one of
Geo. Newhouse, from the fact that he
will not stand back talk from any of
the players. He drove the Superior
manager off the grounds and made no
delay in doing it.
Up TO date WauSau has scored 40
runs to the opponents q.
Winona comes next, followed by
Eau Claire.
