JUST DOPE.

Mark Bells has secured permission
from the Dayton, Ohio, team of the
Central league to play Eugene Carter
on our base ball team next year.
Carter belonged to Dayton last year,
but was loaned to Eau Claire, on a
years contract.
The effort in getting team to-
gether next spring will be less SIREN
uous than for the past two seasons.
Some new pitchers will be needed, a
second baseman and possibly a third
baseman. Aside from these the team
is complete. If Appleton does not re-
call Brautegam he will come back to
Wausau to play the third base posi-
ton. Lakoff, it is presumed, will
prove too light for Louisville, his
purchaser, but it is not likely that he
will be returned to Wausau. 1t Is
doubtful If Dunbar will be back, SO
Wausau is left with only two pitchers
Fenell and Schieffer. The outtield is
complete with Carter, Cahill, and
Duchien.
The annual meeting of the Wausau
club mustbe held soon, for the annual
meeting of the league is scheduled
for this month. The delay has been
caused by Eau Claire and Superior
failing to make returns on the Labor
day receipts, the same going into a
pool. 1t is reported that they will
adjust matters soon.

A PRETTY SCENE.

Electricity was turned onto the
cluster street lamps Saturday night
for the first time, and the result was
that every Wausau citizen who saw
the effect, felt proud of his native
heath. The three hundred lights
scattered along each side of Third
street for distance of seven blocks
presented bright scene. Few other
cities in Wisconsin have the system.
The cluster lights light the street
more satisfactorily than did the old
arc lights, except at the street cor
ners. AS it is now the entire street
is lighted, whereas under the old sys-
tenn there was bright glare in the
neighborhood of the arc lights, and
between blocks it was cloudy. M
Everybody admired the new system
Saturday night. Thousands of people
paraded the streets that night, some
doing shopping, others came down
town specially to see the lights, and
many others were-well, they would
have been on the streets anyway,
light or no lights.
To get the best effect one must
stand near the engine house or at the
Kiefer Furniture store corners and
then cast his lockers down or up the
street, depending on where he is
standing.
Now that people can see the effect
of these lights in identifying the city,
it is quite probable that some of the
side streets will be lighted similarly
soon. The first movement in that
direction will be on Scott and Wash
ington streets.
The standards supporting the five
lamps sell for more than what they
look to be worth, but as the cost is
divided pro rata among the mer-
chants, they are not so high after all.
The first cost is practically the only
cost, for the city supplies the current
free of cost. The lights may prove a
trade-getter for the merchants along
Third street, and they certainly make
a big improvement In the looks of the
city, and strangers who visit our city
will have good words to say for US
wherever they go. "Up-to-date Wau-
sau''-that's just it.

CHRISTIANS OBSERVANCE.
Sir Knights of St. 0mer Commandery
Meet in the Temple on Christmas Day.

AT eleven O'Clock, central standard
time equivalent to u NJ. eastern
standard time) the Sir Knights of ST.
Omer Commandery, No. 10, K. T.,
met in Masonic temple and drank
Christmas toasts to the Grand Master
of the Grand Encampment; the Grand
Commander of the Grand Command
cry; to tie Grand High Priest of the
Grand Chapter; Grand Master, Royal
and Select Masters; Grand Master of
the Grand Lodge, f. A. NJ. of Wis
consin and to all Sir Knights and
their families. This is custom uni
versally observed by knight Templars
and at the same time all over the
world they drink to similar toasts.
The committee upon Christmas OBJ
seryaGce of the Grand Encampment
of Knights Templar of the United
States of America, prepared the fol-
lowing sentiment for Christmas for
the Sir Knights OF this country and
to which they drank, viz:
To our Most Eminent Grand Master
WILLIAM BRoMwELL MELIsH
May his administration be fortu-
nate, and may our Brotherhood fully
realize our mission; To feed the
hungry, clothe the naked and bind up
the wounds of the afflicted in the
name of our Lord and Master, Imman-
uel, whose birth we celebrate.
The Grand Master sends the follow
ing response:
The sentiment proposed is uncon-
sciously in line with what has been in
my mind for weeks. While it is true,
that, with most of US, the Spirit of
Christmas broods and sings, of happy,
hopeful, helpful things, all for you
and me; it is also true there are
thousands who are needy and whose
necessities appeal to US, and some of
these are undoubtedly those left near
and dear to our departed fratres.
/ call upon each Grand Commander
to ask each Commandery in his juris-
diction to make notable the 1910 cele-
bration of the birth of Him who is
our Great Exemplar, by the giving,
as Commandery, or by voluntary
contributions collected by each Com
mandery of its individual Knights, of
a special offering of thankfulness and
love, in the spirit of the Master to
the destitute widows and helpless
orphans of departed fratres, or to
Masonic Homes, Children's Homes, or
to any charitable organization that
reaches the helpless poor at Christmas
time.
If my beloved fratres will but do
this, will appreciate their compli-
ance with the,spirit of the toast pro-
posed to me as Grand Master much
more than any personal compliment
shown me by letter, message or tele-
gram.
Our thoughts will go out at the
Happy Christmas time to each Temp
lar in the land, wishing him Joy in
all his Deeds and Days, wishing him
Time for the Task, Wisdom for the
Work, Peace for the Pathway, Friends
for the Fireside, and Love to the
Last.

BOY SHOT.
Anton Goersh in the County Hospital
in a Precar.ous Condition.

Yesterday, at about the noon hour,
Anton Gorski, lad Is years of age,
whose parents reside on Lincoln Ave-,
was shot in his left arm near the
shoulder.
He and several companions had been
out hunting rabbits and had Gorski's
dog with them. A train was approach
ing on the Northwestern road and the
dog ran up onto the track and COM
menced to bark. Fearing that the
dog might be run over, Gorski ran up,
grabbed the animal and dragged him
down tie embankment, he also dragged
his gun, with the result that it was
discharged, the contents striking him
in the left arm just below the elbow.
He was taken to the city by his COM
panions, who were advised to take
him at once to the county hospital,
where physician dressed the wound.
His parents were brought down as
soon as possible and a consultation

the boys life, that the arm must be
In order to do this the
law makes it obligatory to have the
consent of the father. The father re-
fused to give his consent and he also
refused to pay the expenses of $500
per week at the hospital, saying that
he was poor man and that the city
and county should stand it The boy
was very weak from the loss of blood
when he reached the hospital, but to-
day his condition is much better In
that regard. The fact remains that
the arm must be amputated soon or
the boy will die. Mayor Lamont and
other city authorities had the matter
under consideration this morning.
