ANNUAL DInNER.
rhe Second One Given by the Wausau
Street Railroad Company to the OFF,
GERS, Directors and Employees

Last Thursday evening. at the
Rothschild pavilion, the Wausau
Street Railroad company gave its
second annual dinner to its officers,
directors and employees. The car
which took down a large number left
the court house al $50 O'Clock.
Guests were taken care of by ushers
who directed them to the checking
room where wraps were laid aside.
The pavilion dining room was
very handsome in its. holiday dec
orations. The electric bulbs were
all shaded in red, and upon the
tables were small Christmas trees
which were lighted with small cleo
trio bulbs representing fruit. The
wall decorations were large American
flags, hemlock and other boughs of
green. On the north side was plat
form entirely hidden by green boughs
and upon which was seated an orches-
ira which discoursed music during
the supper hour. At each of the one
hundred covers which were laid, there
was red carnation and each found
his seat at the table by his name be-
ing written on pretty Christmas
card. 1t was venison dinner, and
General Manager NJ. G. Ewing, dur
ing the hunting season, took pains to
provide for the event, and to say that
it was enjoyed by all present is put
ting it very mildly. The dinner was
gotten up by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Oswald and was excellently served.
The after dinner program was not
a cut and dried affair, but various
ones were called upon to say a few
words. Manager Ewing started the
ball rolling by making preliminary
talk, touching upon many things OF
interest concerning the Wausau Street
Railroad company and its corps OF
workers; one of his statements was
rather a surprise to those present, ex-
cept to those who were acquainted
with the workings of the big concern,
and that was that every employee was
present excepting three; we after
wards learned that enough men,
familiar with various branches of the
work, were induced to help them out.
Mr.. Ewing introduced Hon. Neal
Brown, president of the company,
who talked on different phases of the
work of the street railroad, injecting
enough pleasantly to keep the whole
crowd in excellent humor. Mr.. Brown
called on the following, who made
brief talks: G. B. Bird, j. L. Sturte
want, c. G. Yawkey, G. d. Jones, M.
B. Rosenberg, E. B. Thayer, j. @.
Justeson, o. L. Dorschel, w. G.
Brawley, E. d. Rossier and M. n.
Weeks of Grand Rapids, and William
Anderson who has charge of the COM
pany's accounting department. Ref
erences were made concerning the
great work which had been accom-
plished since the street railroad was
started and all were of one opinion:
That no city in the country had a
better street car service; no city had
more progressive set of men than
those who back up this enterprise
which is so great factor in building
up our city; and when it came to
gentlemanly employees, who are eyer
on the alert to render every possible
service to the public, why there
isn't a city in the country that
is In it with Wausau for moment.
1t was very pleasant affair, last
ing until 1890 O'Clock, when cars
were taken back to the city.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Christmas day in Wausau was one
filled with cheer, in fact Christmas
cheer peryaded every home, and espec-
tally SO where families were reunited.
The day coming on Sunday there were
special services at all the churches.
Most of the Christmas exercises of the
churches were held on Christmas
evening. There was binding snow
storm nearly all day and all seemed
to enjoy this as it made the home
fireside all the more attractive.
AT THE RINK.
The Wauss,u Ice and Fuel Co. has
during Tine winters for several years,
kept the ice above the falls for long
distance, cleared of snow so as to give
it first-class ice; this has made it
very nice and appreciated by the
skaters. The latter part of last week
preparations were made for day of
fun on the ice. A fund was raised
to pay for a band to play in the after
noon. The heavy snow on Sunday
looked as if everything had been
spoiled, but G. H. Graham, manager
of the ice company, was equal to the
occasion, and to him is due the credit
of giving the young folks an after
noon of skating. He put on three
teams and men, and by noon had the
ice cleared. A M. Petersen loaned
the use of his large tent, and then
enough oil heaters were loaned to
warm the tent. There were fully
1000 people on the ice, and the shores
of the river were lined with people
watching the skaters.

CARROLL WINS.
Our Y NJ. C. A. Team Finds Collegiate
Basket Ball as Played by the Carroll
Five Rough Proposition Two Local
Boys in College Team

The game played at the Y. M. G. A..
building Thursday night between the
Carroll college team and the local five,
resulted quite differently than was
generally expected. A very close and
exciting game would have been the
outcome, had the A. A. U. rules been
adhered to during the entire contest.
However the change to the inter-
collegiate rules in the second half
served to break down the lead of the
Y. M. G. A. team, replacing it with
decisive victory for the visitors.
The game, though not especially fast,
was marked with occasional spurts
that showed good work on the part of
certain players. The Carrollites were
husky aggregation. They showed
marks of training, and excelled in the
rougher style of play to which they
are accustomed.
For the locals, Kiefer and Ringle
starred. Kiefer as guaro was valua-
BILE in working the ball down the field,
while Ringle played hard, fast game,
covering great deal of ground, and
keeping the visitors guessing most of
the time.
Laurence Johnson, last year with
the local high school, played the best
game for Carroll He showed great
speed, and was accurate in basket
shooting. Carroll should find in him
a star forward. Hugh Campbell,
playing his second year with the COL
lege team, and also local boy, is a
steady, deliberate player, who can be
relied upon for good, consistent play
ing at all occasions.
Coach Bleamaster of Carroll refereed
the game. Those acquainted with
the intercollegiate game, considered
his judgment good while others
thought many fouls should have been
called that were overlooked.
The lineup with individual points
was as follows:
Y.M.c.A. Carroll.
L. Ringle (Capt) l. F. L. Cops Capt. r. G.
E. Young. RI H. Campbell. L. c.

ment last Friday night resulted in a
victory for the Seniors. The Sophie
mores and Juniors tied for second and
the Freshmen last. The Seniors won
the first game from the Juniors by

considerably weakened by the loss of
Johnson, and would have been in
better shape probably. The Sophie
mores played their best and beat the
Freshmen 27-1. In the final games,
the Seniors and Sophomores played a
very fast game which the Seniors
won AL and the Juniors forced the
Freshmen down to last place in list

A large number of alumni and
others were present at this. Among
them were: Sam Wells, Franklin Par
dee, Louis Pradt, Norman Stone,
Wylie Sampson, Hugh Campbell,
Lawrence Johnson, John Kuhlmann,
Curtis Boyce, John Stuhlfauth, Ray
Reiser, Herman Block, Clinton Bis
mark and Misses Ellen Jones, Phoebe
Jones, Nora Deutsch, Sylvia Peters,
Maise Rosenberg, Ruth Alexander,
Florence Gilbert, Ruth Kreutzer and
Cornelia McCrossen.
Most of the visiting fellows were
called upon for short speeches, in
which the high school was praised to
the skies, the fellows vieing with
each other in telling the best stories
concerning the superiority of our high
school.
The following is a letter which Mr..
Parlin received from the committee
from the university which short
time ago inspected our high school.
This is certainly very high compli-
ment to the Wausau school system,
of which Mr.. Parlin and Supt. Tobey
are at the head:
December 20, 1910.
Mr.. G. G. Parlin,
Principal, High School,
Wausau, Wisconsin.
Ny dear Mr.. Parlin:
Our committee has recommended
that the Wausau high school be con-
tinued on the accredited list.
Our inspectors were surprised al
the growth of your school. They con-
sidered the general condition of the
school excellent. The pupils were uG-
usually alert and alive, and their
scholarship in many classes was very
good. 1t is several years since / Wis
tied your school. The scholarship
has unquestionably very much i'm
proved during that time. The in
spectors enjoyed very much indeed
the day they spent in your school.
Very truly yours,
A. w. TREssLER,
Secretary of the Committee.

REFUSED TO BUY TELEGRAPH
Morse Patent Offered to the Govern
ment for 500, o,ooo-Now Capital
lied at 1920, o,ooo,o 900.

Sixty-five years ago, on April l, Pro
fessor Morse, accompanied by his as
sociates, stood before congress and
offered to sell the patents on the cleo
tric telegraph for 100000. After
long and bitter debate congress appro-
priated $4,000 for the construction OF
a line between Washington and Balti-
more in order that the merits OF the
invention might be fully tested, says
Electric News.
It is recorded that President Polk
thought the invention good thing for
the government to own, but the post
master general, in a long report, gave
as his opinion that the revenues could
never be made to cover the expendi-
lures in the telegraphing of messages.
Today, in this country alone. the Morse
systems are capitalized at $22O,OOO.oOO.
But this little anecdote is seldom
told by the officials of the Western
Union Telegraph company, for 1t is
matter of history that Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell offered to sell his tele-
phone patents to the telegraph COM
pany for the paltry sum of $4,000. but
the officials of that company smiled
and declared the invention toy, with
no commercial value. Today there are
more than five million telephones In
use in this country, earning $3.50. 0.000,-
900 annually.

KING IN QUEST OF A BRIDE
Portueal's Youthful Ruler Has Search

rope seems to be over-anxious 10 snare
his somewhat unstable throne. HIS
failure to secure a wife during his re-
cent tour is a source of great disap-
pointment not only to Manuel himself
but to his advisers.
Manuel is not wealthy as monarchs
go. His civil list is just $1,000 oay'
and It was hoped he would be able TO
make a match with a popular princess
possessing large means In her own
right. The father Of one princess was
strongly opposed to the alliance, not
that he disliked the young Portuguese
king. but because Of the unsettled state
OF the country.
Since the assassination Of the late
King Carlos and his eldest son, the
condition of Portugal has not Inn

break out. A well-known Portuguese

and in the silence the two shook
hands. IF you should happen to
think of a way-that we might get
Winnsome-" he added, coloring.
The sudden grip of his companions
fingers made him finch.
I'VE must!" said Nathaniel.
He climbed ashore and watched Neil
until he had disappeared in the wild
rice Then he turned into the woods.
He looked at his watch and saw that
it was only o'clock. He was con-
scious of no fatigue; he was not con-
scious of hunger. To him the whole
world had suddenly opened with glo-
rious promise and in the still depths
of the forest he felt like singing out
his rejoicing. He had never stopped
to ask himself what might be the end
of this passion that had overwhelmed
the knowledge that Marion was not
wife, and that it was he whom fate
had chosen for her deliverance. He
reasoned nothing beyond the sweet
eyes that had called upon him, that
had burned their gratitude, their hope
and their despair upon his soul; moth
ing beyond the thought that she would
soon be free from the mysterious in
f1uence of the Mormon king and that
for days and nights after that she
would be on the same ship with him.
