PIPE ORGAN AND
PIANO RECITAL

On Friday evening next, Sept. I'd,
at the NJ. K. church, Lawrence Bern
hardt will give an organ and piano
recital which should be attended by
all lovers of music in Wausau. Law
renee was born and raised in Wausau
and since he was II years old he has
been organist in st. Johns church.
He is now nearly sixteen years old.
When twelve years old correspon-
dent of the Milwaukee Sentinel had
this to say of him.
"Wausau undoubtedly has the
youngest Organist in the world who
plays the pipe organ. He is Lawrence
Bernhardt, who is Organist of st.
Johns Episcopal church. He played
his first service in that church on his
18th birthday, October 7th. He
showed musical ability when very
young and at the age of eight could
play the piano and read music readily.
He took lessons on the pipe organ of
Prof. Hoyt, who was surprised at the
lads ability. On Easter Sunday he
played Shippers mass service and
special Easter carols and postludes,
which was considered quite remark
able for boy only II years DID,"
The program will be varied and ar
ranged to please lovers of music. The
following named will assist: Misses
Hermione Silverthorn, Sadie Rosen-
berry and Helen Coates. The pro-
ceeds of this concert will go towards
assisting Lawrence in securing a bet
ter musical education. Therefore,
the NJ. f. church should be filled to
overfiowing on this occasion to help
along good cause and to demonstrate
that our citizens are willing to lend
assistance to home talent.
Tickets are on sale at Ingraham's S,
James Music company and Albers'
west side drug store.

KILLED FOUR BEARS.

Last Tuesday morning, when Benja-
min He'll, a young man of eighteen
years of age, son of Henry He'll who
resides out in the town of Marathon
went out to their pasture to bring
their horses home, he was surprised
to see an old bear, and three cubs
emerging from Otto Langenhain's
woods and heading for the sheep
pasture,
The plucky Young man hurried
home as fast as his legs couiG carry
him, and returned with his dog and
gun. When the bears saw them, they
ran into the woods and one of the
cubs Immediately climbed upon a tree
A single shot brought him down, and
Benjamin not being able to find any
of the other bears carried the cub
home. After breakfast he made up
his mind to start out once more in
pursuit of the bears, being cautioned
by his father to shoot the old bear
first. He finally came upon his prey
about eight rods from the place where
he had killed the first cub.
The old bear was lying upon a log
and Benjamin took aim at Mrs. Bruin
and fired. But this time he missed
his aim, and the old bear rose upon
her hind feet to meet her foe. This
furnished a good aim for the lucky
nimrod and with a steady aim pulled
the Trigger and shot the bear right
through the head, which shot laid her
low at once. The two cubs mean
while climbed the nearest trees, and
were brought down easily by Benjamin.
When his father and brother heard
the firing they feared that little
Bennie might be in danger, and
accordingly they hurried to the scene,
but arrived just in time to see him
bring down the last of the cubs. Do
you think Benjamin feels proud of
his work? Well certainly he does
This lucky young hunter recently
joined the local court of the G. o. X.

as every other neighbor congratulates
him upon his luck and pluck Mara

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Residents of the town of Weston
have prepared and are signing a petit
tion which will be presented to the
city council of Wausau, objecting to
a recent change made in the name of
a street. The street was formerly
known as Washington Ave, and be-
cause of there being a Washington
street, a committee recommended
that the avenue must be changed to
Fleming street. The street is located
in Johnson's addition and is on the
dividing line between the city and
the town of Weston. The petition
suggests Weston avenue as a name,
and it is quite likely that the council
will change its former decision and
vote to accede TO the request of the
town of Weston. Unless favorable
action is taken, the Weston people
threaten TO maintain sign boards on
their side of the street, giving it the
name Of Washington Ave.

Gustav Mueller and Charles Quandt

TOWEL AND CUP MUST GO.

Next Thursday the death knelI of
the roller towel and drinking cup will
be sounded and all public places will
have to remove both of these things
which are used more perhaps, than
any other public accommodation.
But the state board of health has
tabooed them as dangerous to public
welfare and safety and September l
they must go, After all it is quite
true tnat they are a dangerous thing.
In many public places, dozens of people
use the common roller towel. One
person afflicted with tuberculosis or
other dangerous disease, might cause
the towel to become infected with
bacteria and the other eleven persons
might contract the disease. And so
with the drinking cup.
The towel question will probably be
solved with individual towels, although
paper companies have produced very
fine paper toweling which can be pur-
chased so cheap as to be destroyed
after use. The drinking cup in public
places will have to be replaced with
the sanitary drinking fountain, which
viii probably make business good for
some time for the plumbers.
Many railroad stations are already
equipped with DEVICES whereby one
can drop penny and secure a paper
mache cup, which will last for an
ordinary trip on the cars.

Uncle John f. Barteldt started ont
on Saturday last, at p. M, with his
nets, lines, hooks, etc, on a fishing
excursion up the river, accompanied
.by his three sons, the youngest only
SIX years old. They went up little
above the old Doolittle farm some
four miles above and set their nets
and had made all arrangements to
make a big haul, when the storm
came on and they were forced to
beat hasty retreat and take shelter
IN barn. The storm continued to
rage and they were compelled to re-
main in their quarters during the
night. In the morning the river had
raised so high that their boat, nets,
ETC., were carried away, and they were
Obliged to walk to town, reaching
here Sunday afternoon, much to the
JOY of the family and friends. The
creeks and river had raised to such an
extent that it was difficult TO get
over a part of the way.
The rains raised Big Rib river at
Rib Falls twenty feet, reaching its
height on Sunday. The river made a
new channel through the premises of
John Baeseman. Much damage was
done to Mr. Baeseman's saw mill and
the timbers which he had ready for a
grist mill were carried away The
new bridge costing $500 was taken
out slick and clean.
The heavy rain of Saturday raised
Trappe river so that the Pine river
road bridge was taken out. 80 feet of
the main dam was torn out and
100000 feet of logs, belonging to j.
Hollis, Jones & Nelson, H. Pierce and
j. P. Hobart, were carried away. 1t
was terrible storm exceeding in
violence and duration, anything ever
known in this country.

GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION.

The United States government will,
within the course of a few months,
equip building in this city TO be de-
voted TO experimental work in decid-
ing what woods are adapted for pulp
in paper making. The Wausau Street
Railroad company submitted propo-
sition to Representatives of the gov
ernment. They came here and inyes-
tigated, and accepted the company's
offer. The street car company will
erect building on Plumer'5 island,
at the east end of its dam. This
building will be one story in height,
100 feet long and 40 feet wide. 1t will
be made as nearly fire proof as possi-
BILE, and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 The ground is being
cleared for its erection. 1t is pro-
posed to have it completed in Novem-
Der. 1t will then be stocked with
suitable machinery for carrying OF
the work of experiment 1t will be
the first institution Of it's kind to be
established in the United States.
Wisconsin being one of the greatest
paper manufacturing states in the
union, the government decided to To-
cate this institution in this state,
and number of other cities made
bids for it.
In the experimental work, which
will be conducted by experts, not only
will Wisconsin woods be used, but
also those native of other states and
Canada. At present, spruce, hemlock,
poplar and jack pine are used largely
in the manufacture of paper, but the
supply of these woods is diminishing.

COAL SHORTAGE
Reaches Critical Stage and Stu
alton Getting Serious

School was scheduled to open on
Monday, for the winter term; but
the shortage of coal-there was only
one scuttle-ful of coal in the build
ing, and no more to be had in the
town-led to the dismissal until more
fuel could be secured. The coal fa-
mine has reached the acute stage, the
cold weather having required more
coal than was anticipated to heat
the homes and stores, and many who
had thought they had enough to run
them through the winter are already
scraping the bottoms of the bins. The
dealers have been unable to secure
coal, and only the kindness of the
J. G. White company, in letting the
citizens have a little coal from time
to time to prevent suffering, has
saved the Richfield tract from eth
eT freezing solid, or general exc
dus to where fuel could be had.

INTERESTING FIGHT
Between Speaker Cannon and

One of the most interesting mat
ters before the American people to-
day, is the fight now on, and to be
carried on to a finish, between the
people and Speaker Cannon. The peo-
pie at large are firm in the belief
that the Speaker stands for special
interests" and that his own great
wealth-he is reputed to be much
more than millionaire-ma him
a willing agent of the interests" in
looking after their welfare rather
than that of the whole people. The
fighting ranks of the insurgents have
been largely recruited this year, and
there is even a possibility that the
Speakers great and commonly be-
lieved pernicious power will be clip

ton Times, going over the ground as

done. 1t Is a liberal political educa-
tion to read this story. The article

USE OF GLASS BRICKS
Will Admit Light to the Dark Hall

Easements.

Germany uses glass bricks for build
ing purposes with measurable sue
cess. In Berlin is constructed small
villa, the walls of which are built Of
glass bricks of several shades of dark
green and blue. The glass bricks are
especially adapted to construction
where light, cleanliness and neatness
are particularly in demand. In Ham
burg they are utilized in place of
windows. They admit light in walls
which police regulations require to
be fireproof and windowless
In addition to admitting light to
dark Railways, rooms etc, they are
said to possess the same strength as
ordinary clay bricks. They are also
utilized in walls in yards and parii-
tions in the interior of houses, sales
rooms, offices, workshops, ETC.. as well
as for the construction of verandas.
hothouses, kiosks, bathrooms, hospi-
tails. ice factories, butcher shops, rail-
road stations, breweries, stables and
in other places where cleanliness,
light and uniform temperatures are
especially desired
The bricks are also made with a
wire coating for fireproof walls In
some of the recently erected buildings
in Milan. Italy, bricks made of glass
have been adopted for ground and up
per floors on account of the light OBJ
tanned. They are also coming into use
for partition work in some of the hos
pitfalls on account of the hygienic prin-
ciples
In one Of the leading banking insti-
tutions of the city of Turin the lobby
office floor, which is about 36x5S feet,
is entirely paved with glass bricks
laid in iron frames for the purpose of
admitting light into the basement.

are used principally for lightgving
purposes in machine shops and con-
