Ed. Lemke retired from the fire de-
partment service last Saturday. A
few weeks ago he made application to
be retired and placed on the firemen's
pension roll and his application was
granted. Mr.. Lemke began his SER
vice tWenty-four years ago, when John
Gebhart was chief. For a number of
years he served as a regular fireman,
but OF late years had been what is
known as a call man.
A special committee of the Shawano
county board visited the Marathon
county poor house on Wednesday last
for the purpose of getting information
for the use of the Shawano county
board, which has in contemplation. the
building of new poor house. The
committee intended to visit poor
houses in other counties before return
ing home, but we venture to say found
none that was anywhere equal of ours.
A well known Wausau young man,
who is spending the winter in lum-
Der camp up in Florence county,
writes us that logging conditions up
there are excellent, but there is one
drawback. At night packs of wolves
gather around the camp and make a
noise nigh unto that made by a mass
chorus at saengerfeSt A Wausau
party, travelling few days ago three
miles east of the city, reports finding
wolf tracks and the lair of one of the
animals.
A west side boy of an inventive
turn of mind has taken the front
wheel off his bicycle and placed a
runner on the frame. BY developing
a high speed he is able to cross rail-
road tracks or short spaces that are
bare, without any trouble. Where
the Sleighing is good he says the run
ner works fine. We notice in our ex-
changes that in some nearby cities
automobile owners are placing sleigh
runners on the front axis of their
machines, which lessons the jar and
allows the machines to work freer.
Do you want shingles? If you do
call and look over our large assert
ment and get prices before purchasing
elsewhere.

All of the lumber companies in this
city are compla lining because they

city. 1t appears that the bulk of the
logging cars have been taken to other
branches. AS logging cars are money
earners for the railroad companies
only during the winter season, the
companies distribute them in such a
way as to get as much use out of
have been cleaned up pretty well on
other branches it is possible the Wau-
sau fellows will get all the cars they
need.

Gov Z. w. Hoch of Kansas, will /
deliver lecture in this city next
Monday evening, under the auspices
of the Y. M. c. A. 1t will be his
first appearance in Wausau. Gov.
Hoch has national reputation as a
reformer in politics and man of
progressive ideas. After he was
elected governor of Kansas he set to
work and succeeded in having laws
placed upon the statute books which
have revolutionized the old order of
things in that state, resulting in a
saving to the tax payers and curb
ing of the power of trusts, notably
the Standard Oil company. In a
word ne is man who does things.
He is not as gifted in the arts of ora
tory as some men are, but his talks
are ones which appeal to human ma
ture so don't fail To hear him
