TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

On Friday last Miss Bohrer and
Irwin Heise visited the two room
school at Sunset.
The valentine box on Monday was
enjoyed by all.
The Athens Training school basket
ball game played Saturday evening in
the high school gymnasium was won
by Athens, score 80 to IL. Training
won as it always should. Our team
has practiced about three months,
when it could find room through the
courtesy of the Lincoln school. Some
of the best Of the Athens team have
played for three years. We were
handicapped by the sickness and con-
sequent absence of one, our best play
ers. The referee was teacher in
the Athens schools and member of
the team. Our boys put up brave
fight and their manly conduct showed
that they could be good losers. 1t
was a clean game all through. A re-
turn game will probably be played in
a few weeks.
The preliminary game between the
teams of the Lincoln and Franklin
schools was closely contested and was
won by the Franklin school by two
points. 1t was delight to see the
little fellows play SO swiftly, so well,
and in such good spirit. We wish to
thank them heartily tor helping us in
giving so good an entertainment TO
the patrons Of the game.
The literary program Friday after
noon under the direction of Miss
Hamacker was unusually interesting
and instructive. Father johnson was
welcome visitor and an attentive
listener.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

There were an unusual large num-
Der of students in the Senior class
this year having very high percent
age of standings for their three and
one-half years of high school, The
one having the highest and who will
be valedictorian of the class is Miss
Mary Corwith, with percentage OF
94.33; the next highest, the salutator-

Valeria Ringle, 9O.40; Ellen Jones, 80,
and Peter Zindel, 81.
The Seniors met last Friday and
Miss Strouse gave the class her plan
for the program of the first night of
commencement. The idea was to
have series of scenes representing
the life of the people in different
countries by singing and acting out,
in costume many of the old folk
songs, one of these to be a typical
southern scene on a negro plantation,
in which many of the boys of the
class could put forth their talent, and
at the close an ensemble of all Of the
groups of the several countries to sing
the American national anthems. The
plan has not been fully worked out,
but meets with an almost unanimous
approval of the class.

the third grade, in the Longfellow

understand an emetic was given be-
fore the poison had chance to per-
form its deadly work. Tie man to-

A DELIGHTFUL EVENING.

Mrs. Agnes B. Murray entertained
number of her friends on Friday at
her home on East hill in way which
they will long remember with pleas
ure. Florence Wilson and Jean Gill
bert ushered the guests up stairs to
the cloak room, after which they
were received by Mrs. Murray The
guests were totally in the dark
as to what was on the pro-
gram for the evening They sur
missed but none rightly. When the
last ones had arrived and were seated,
Mrs. Murray stated that she had a
relative visiting her from Brokaw
who had brought her much cherished
family album with her and the
pictures inwhich she would take great
pleasure in showing and describing to
the friends present:
The relative proved to be Miss Gena
Thompson, teacher of vocal express
sion in our high school. She was
attired in quaint costume and told,
in very mirthful way, incidents of
her life; that she had taken especial
pains to keep portraits of her family
and relatives, and after profuse
eulogy of her mother she opened the
album, which was about 3x4 feet, and
revealed living picture, in charming
costume OF long ago, representing her
maternal ancestor. Each picture"
was suitably costumed, and the hus-
band, husband and wife, children, sis
tiers, father and other relatives were
impersonated by Mrs. B. f. Wilson,
DIR. Anne Burnett, Misses Won Bries-
sen, Dalton, Wallace, Tracey, Flor
ence Wilson, Jean Gilbert and Willie
Albers. Each picture had to be
shown several times and created much
amusement. At the close, Miss
Thompson was encored until she re-
turned, when she recited, to the great
delight of all, "Sally AIMS Exper-
fences" The various pictures" then
came out, in costume, and received
congratulations, after which refresh
ments were served. All departed for
their homes expressing their thanks
to Mrs. Murray for the delightful
evening which she had afforded them.

LOSE THEIR ONLY CHILD.

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Hintze, resid-
ing at 313 Third street, ARE mourning
the loss of their son, John. The lit
tie fellow was taken i'll Friday with
what proved to be scarlet fever and
between the hours of 9 and 10 a. m.
yesterday he passed to the great be-
yond. Mr.. Hintze left home Thurs
day night before his little boy had
shown any signs of illness and started
on business trip to Chicago and 9TH
er points. kilograms were sent to a
number of cities, and finally yester-
day afternoon he was located in Mil
waukee. The notification of the
death of his son was a severe blow to
the father, who had left him in per-
feet health. The condition of the
patient was thought to be favorable
until Monday morning, when there
was serious turn for the worse and
death came at the hour stated. After
receiving the telegram, Mr.. Hintze
took the first train for home, and ar
rived here this morning.
Deceased was very bright, beauti-
full child, and was a favorite and
greatly beloved by all who knew him.
He was born in Portland, Ore, Aug.
"a, 1907. Mr.. and Mrs. Hintze have
the sincere sympathy of our people,
who mourn with them their loss. The
funeral will be held tomorrow after

AN AUTO DRAY.

Chas. Wegner, the drayman, was in
Chicago last week, and while there
attended the auto show. Charley got
his eyes glued to an auto dray, dug
down deep in his pockets, sized up
his pile, and concluded that he would
take it. 1t is Reliance, of thirty
horse power and will be- delivered
about April /. Charley's business is
increasing so rapidly that he needs
more dray trucks. He has three in
operation at present, but thought 1t
cheaper, more up-to-date and more in
keeping with a city of the size OF
Wausau to invest in chug wagon in
stead of in more horse flesh.
Wait until the wagon arrives.
Charley no doubt win be as proud as
a boy with his first pair of red top
boots, and well he may. 1t will DC
the first machine of its kind up in
this section of the country. Now,
some of our enterprising merchants
ought TO buy an auto delivery wagon.

WAUSAU DEFEATED
Wausau High School and Grand Rapids
High School Teams Played Basket
Ball on Friday Evening.

Last Friday evening the Grand
Rapids high school basket ball team
played the Wausau high school team
in the high school gymnasium.
The Grand Rapids ''hoodoo" held
good and Wausau was defeated in the
scoring, after the hardest fought
game ever played by Wausau High
team. The Grand Rapids men were
all considerably taller than our men
and as the game was virtually a tie
the Wausau men certainly showed
more skill and speed in their playing.
In the first half with every man on
the team playing the game Of his life
Wausau had slightly the best of it all
through and in the last few minutes,
by some very clever team work they
added more baskets, leaving the
score 1910 in our favor. In the sec
ond half our team played more
brilliant game even than in the first
half, and for about ten minutes kept

minutes the Rapids team played the
ball right over the heads OF our fell

about six minutes more to play tied
the score then Wausau made basket
but with about four minutes yet to
play Grand Rapids again tied the
score. Wausau took the lead again
but in the last half minute of play
Grand Rapids got basket and the
game closed with the score tied 30-30.
1t was then decided that the game
would go to the first team making
2 points. Grand Rapids got the first
field basket and won the game and as
it will probably prove to be the valley
championship. The following are

LAST NUMBER.

The concluding number OF the 1909
10 course of entertainments given by
the Y. M. G. A. was presented at the
opera house last evening to fair
sized audience.
In presenting the entertainers,
Rogers and Grilley, Sec'y Neil Camp
bell said that the association is
seriously considering the matter Of
dropping these courses. When the
idea of furnishing entertainment for
the people was taken up it was not
with the intention of making any
money. he said. At that time about
800 worth of course tickets were sold.
Since then interest has been dwind-
ling to such an extent that now only
about $3.50 worth of tickets are disposed
of. 1t will be decided shortly whether
or not a course will be arranged for
next season.
The association has supplied each
year for great many years clean
cut class of entertainments for small
sum. 1t is true that the committee
has made some mistakes in its selec-
tons but has redeemed itself by
Choosing other numbers worth alone
the price of the course ticket. If it
is decided to drop this form OF enter
tainment then, and only then, will the
people realize what they have lost.
The Rogers-Grilley combination last
night proved to be one of the strong
numbers of the present season course.
There is little doubt but what Mr..
Ro-ers is the best harpist ever heard
in this city. The harp, asweet sound
ing instrument, is made to talk, in
his hands. Most of his music was new
to our people, but he played one med
ley in which the stirring strains Of
Dixie we've heard, followed by an I'M
itation Of banjo music.
His partner, Chas. T. Grilley. is a
very versatile sort of fellow. He is
an imitator, a moBologue artist and
an elocutionist, and he did few song
and dance stunts. There is an old
saying that it is only one step from
the serious TO the ludicrous. This
was illustrated in. Mr.. Grilley's work
last evening From such sketches as
s'Green Grow the Rushes, o. he
would jump to something humorous
like my Lady Marionette." His
dialect numbers, too, were good.

SCARLET FEVER.

Now that we have scarlet fever
with us in virulent form and that
deaths are occurring nearly every day
from the disease, there must be some
thing done and done quick or no one
can tell what the results may be
You who have little children may
rest secure because the disease is not
in your home now, but tomorrow
who knows, it may invade even your
Sacred precincts. Now is the time
to do. something to stop the raw.
ages of the disease.
Close schools if necessary.
Close churches and Sunday schools
if necessary.
Stop public gatherings if necessary
Stop the gathering of children.
Do something to stamp it out.
II The following are few points tax
en- from the laws on the subject, LAID
down by the state board of health:
That a patient shall not be per-
mitted to enter school of any kind,
or any assemblage, street car or other
public conveyance.
That no child having had scarlet
fever can go from his home without a
permit from board of health.
Physicians must report any case OF
scarlet fever which they are called to
attend, within twenty-four hours,
giving name and address,
The health officer must, when a
case is reported have the house pla-
carded at once.
Every attending physician shall use
every precaution to prevent the spread
of the disease.
House and contents must be disin-
fected by the owner or occupant of a
house, under the direction of the
board of health.
Isolation of the patient and quafan-
tine of children associated with or in
the family with the patient, for 10
days after scaling of the skin of the
patient and disinfection of the prem
Uses.
The burial of those dying of scarlet
fever shall be within twenty-four
hours after death and the remains
wrapped in sheet saturated with a
solution of bichloride of mercury.
1t seems, according to the state law,
the local board of health has the pow
er to enforce any quarantine it may
desire. Up to date there has been nc
regular quarantine in Wausau, more
than to placard the house in
which the patient is ill. The i, mates
have been allowed to roam at will.
