BASE BALL CHAT.

1t begins to look as if base ball is
dead, so far as Wausau is concerned.
We will probably lose our franchise
in the NV. league unless we are
s.up and doing" soon. 1t is time
something is being done in prepara-
tion for next season, yet not an effort
has been made in that direction.
There has not even been call issued
for an annual meeting. w. r. Bryan,
Henry E. Smith and O. B. Kaross
have resigned as president, secretary
and d-treasurer of the association, and
before a start can be made next sea-
son there must be reorganization.
The directors, too, seem to be at outs
with the game, for the officers say it
has been impossible to get them to-
gether to take any action. All of
those who have been connected with
the association in the past, say that
there is no use continuing league base
ball unless more interest is manifested
in attendance than there was last
summer. To drop off over 10000 paid
admissions in one season is a black
eve for the town. We understand
that La Crosse people look at the
matter in the same light, with refer
ence to their city, and there is moth
ing certain about La Crosse being
represented in the league next season.
There are number of other cities
knocking for admission to the league,
and it is possible and probable, as
things look now, that Wausau will
be displaced. This is to be regretted.
Last season, the first for the new
league, none of the teams lost money
and some laid away nice little bank
account. Profiting by the experience
of 1909 every club ought to make
money this year, with good manage
ment.
Unless some action is taken soon to
show that there Is some life, We will
in all probability be dropped. If we
are not, we will undoubtedly enter
the race as we did last year-engag-
ing manager at the eleventh hour
and going into the game with an ex-
perimental team, TO be cuffed and
booted about by the other teams.
1t is reported that Pitcher Lang is
to be given another trial next season
with the Chicago White Sox.
Nagle, who pitched here two years
ago, and who has since pitched in the
American and Western associations.
it is said, will go back to the minors
next season.
The Brooklyn club has asked for
waivers on Brady and Buemiller,
drafted from Appleton last year.
Chas. Ferguson, ex-mauager of the
Wausau team, has signed contract
to umpire in the American associa-
tion next year.

LONGEST STREET.

'Sixth street is the longest street
in the CITY," said one of two idlers in
the court house few days ago.
II disagree with YOU" was the
reply. 81 say that Grand Ave. is the
longest. 1t starts at Forest street
runs south to the city limits and from
there on is known as the Stevens
Point road"
After putting forth the claim for
each of the long streets the matter
was left to be settled by consulting
the official map of the city which
hangs in the Office of City Engineer
Il. c. Gowen. Measurements taken
of the map showed that neither
Sixth street or Grand Ave. is the
longest in the city. Instead Third
Ave. deserves that distinction. Third
Ave. starts at Union Ave. and runs
to the southern limits of the city.
1t is approximately two miles in
length. Sixth street is about mile
and quarter in length. After leav-
ing the city proper it is known as the
Merrill road. Ii it were known as
Sixth street as far as the city
limits beyond the Jim Moore bridge,
it might lay some claim TO being
the longest in the city.

LIVING EXPENSES.

A millionaire's taste and poor
mans purse certainly don't go hand
in hand at the present time, and q
poor mans taste makes big dent in
a millionaires pocketbook. Living
at present is problem, and never be
fore have Wausau housewives been SC
forced to plan and figure how to make
the household necessities go as far as
now. That is, they are compelled by
the high prices of foodstuffs to con-
Drive methods of apportioning the ra-
tions within the boundaries of the
household purse, and yet reach as far
as possible.
The ordinary man cannot afford to
go hungry. While opinions. differ as
to the causes of the high prices OF
foodstuffs, all agree that the cost OF
living has increased tremendously in
the last thirteen years. With few
exceptions the increase in wages is
far from sufficient to Offset or balance
the advance in prices. As result,
living is problem. Most people
blame the trusts for high prices.
Some say the farmer is responsible,
and the high tariff comes in for its
share of criticism. But with all the
arguments presented they do not lift
the high prices.
A arfcs nf ny ~ y
with those of 1907 conyinces one that
we are up against bunco game.
What looks suspicious is that the
greatest advances have been made in
the food stuffs most used, or which
are considered necessaries. Meats
have been steadily advancing for
years, and at present pork is almost a
prohibitive luxury Ham and eggs
are stricken off most peoples menu
cards. 1t is true, eggs are scarce.
There are few fresh ones to be
found in Wausau grocery stores at
present, and some which were fresh
about year ago. You pay about 81
cents dozen for the latter kind and
all you get is a bad smell. Flour is
another article which has climbed,
and butter-it makes us sick to think
of it.
A wall of protest is going up all
over the country, resulting in the
formation of an Antitrust league,
boycott societies, etc. In the city OF
Cleveland, thousands of people have
pledged themselves to abstain from
the use of meat for one month. Meat
prices have already taken a tumble
in that city. The meat boycott
threatens to extend to other cities all
over the country. In our our own
state, down in Appleton, an oleomarg-
arine club has succeeded in forcing
the price Of butter down.
If the supreme courts carry out
their policy jailing boycotters, it is
possible that half Of the nation may
be in jail before spring.

DIES IN HOTEL.

Chas. FL. Silkworth, Wisconsin spec
ial agent for the Springfield Fire and
Marine Ins. Co., died suddenly in the
Bells hotel Saturday morning, death
being due to heart failure. He arrived
In the city the evening before and
notified zimmerman & Rowley, local
agents for his company, of his coming.
He requested one of them to meet
him Saturday morning early, that he
might examine new risks written for
his company. He arose early in the
morning, ate his breakfast and went
into the writing room with the evi-
dent intention of sitting down to
write letter. He pulled chair
away from desk and was then seen
to reel and fall to the floor. Two
physicians who were in the dining
room at the time were called, but the
man expired in few minutes.
Alfred Zimmerman notified the f.
and Ms. Office in Milwaukee of the
death and was instructed to bring the
remains to that city. He accordingly
accompanied them on the noon train.
Mr.. Silkworth was born in Bryan,
o., Sept. 4, 1858, and had been in the
insurance business since 1887. He
was one of the best known field men
in the West, and had been visiting
Wausau regularly for some years.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter. The funeral was held yes
terday morning at eleven O'Clock from
the Plymouth church, Milwaukee.
