BOY NEARLY SMOTHERED.

Leo, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. JOS Bable
residing at Kelly, had very narrow
escape from death last Thursday.
While playing about an old well par
ties near by saw the earth cave in
and the boy disappeared with it.
An examination showed that the
cave-in occurred on the outside of the
curbing evidently due to a washout
below from recent rains, the sod
above remaining solid until the boys
weight was upon it, People sum-
mOned to the rescue did not dare to
use shoyels, for fear more earth
would drop onto the little fellow,
who was only three years old. Fay
Andrews, mail carrier on r. f. d.
No. 4, who happened to be there at
the time, took an ak and went
down into the well and cut hole
through the curbing and pulled
the boy out and carried him to the
house. The little fellow was uncon-
sciouS and at first it was thought he
was dead. A Wausau physician, who
had been sent for when it was first
learned that the boy was buried, ar
rived at the home and after
working over the lad for short time
soon had him breathing and back to
life, and the parents mourning was
turned to iOY.

LITTLE BOY KILLED.

Paul Ristow, boy two and one-half
years old, was killed Friday forenoon
on the farm of his father VIM. Ristow,
in the town OF Stettin. The accident
occurred at about $50 o'clock. The
boys father had been engaged in
plOwing a field and stopped his
team to go out on the road to talk
with a neighbor. The plow he was
using was of the sulky variety, and it is
supposed that the boy climbed up on
the seat and started the horses, as he
had seen his father do. The horses
travelled about 300 feet when they
were noticed by Mr.. Ristow, who
stopped them. The animals, unguided
by experienced hands, had pulled the
plOW out of it's course, and sod had
got so clogged between one of the
wheels and the plOw that it caused it
to rock and the boy was thrown off
and caught in the same way as had
the sod. He had been dragged some
distance before the horses were
stopped, and when he was extricated
he was lifeless. There were marks on
the back Of his head, his face and his
throat.
Coroner Ed. Schulze, who was noti-
ged, after an examination, decided
that it was purely an accident, and
that an INQUEST was unnecessary.

HEAPS OF TROUBLE.

Robt. RAINBOW of this city, an en-
gineer on the st. Paul road, was
slightly scalded Friday morning when
his locomotive went into a ditch near
Hazelhurst. Recent rains had soft
ened the roadbed and at one point
the ties and rail sank and the engine
toppled over. The northbound pas
senger train was held up several hours
on account of the accident. The St.
Paul company has been having it's
share of well deserved trouble of late.
Following the flood when no trains
could be operated north or south of
Wausau, travel has been more or less
delayed on account of other causes.
On Tuesday and Wednesday trains
were delayed on account of bridge
across Rice creek shifting out of posi-
tion. Passengers and baggage had to
be transferred at that point. Then
came the sink hole trouble near
Cassian, which tied up trains, and
again Sunday the southbound even
ing passenger train was held up for
two hours on account of a derailed
engine.

A NEW LINE.

The Elderon Telephone Co. has a
crew of men at work building new
line from the village to Wausau,
where connection will be had with all
the telephone companies doing busi-
ness in and out of this city. The
stock in the company is owned by
Elderon and Wausau business men,
and some time ago number Of
small lines operating in the SOUTH
eastern part of the county were pur-
chased by the new concern, which
controls the business in that locality
and connects with points in Shawano
county.
The line being built follows the
Northwestern right-of-way up to
Eland Jet. and then to Wausau,
branching off ut Kelly, and coming
into the city by way of Schofeld.
At present telephone communica-
tion with the southeastern part of
the county from Wausau has been
over a very circuitous and unreliable
and costly route. The new line will
considerably reduce the expense of
messages, and will tap a number of
points which have heretofore been
telephOneleSS.

CHARMING ENTERTAIN
MENT.
Given at the Pavilion Tuesday Evening
by Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Alexander
and Mr and Mrs. Charles S.
Gilbert.

On Tuesday evening last a very
charming and unique entertainment
was given in the pavilion at Roths-
child park by Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Alexander and Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. S.
Gilbert. Upwards of 400 invited quests
were received by the above named,
assisted by their daughters, the Misses
Ruth Alexander and Florence Gilbert.
A platform had been constructed at
the east side of the main room, near
the ladies' dressing apartment. This,
as well as the room itself, was deco
rated with profusion of evergreens,
consisting of trees and boughs of pine,
balSam and hemlock. The seats were
arranged in semicircle in front, and
the excellent acoustic properties of
the large room made it possible for
the audience to hear every word
distinctly.
The program was rendered by Miss
Helen Waldo, of New York, contralto
singer, who was accompanied on the
piano by Denis Chabot of this city,
and Miss Sue Morey, teacher oil elocu-
tion in our city schools, and was as

FLOOD CONDITIONS ARE
TERRIBLE.
w. A. Swope, Brother of Mrs. Z. J.
Goodrich. Writes Very Interesting
Account Of Conditions in Black River
Falls.

Below is given an extract from a
letter received by Mrs, E. ]. Good
rick from her brother, w. A. Swope,
who is stationed at Black River Fails
with his company. Mr.. Swope is a
member of Co. E of Eau Claire.
swell here l am in camp about
q miles down the river from
Black River Falls. Can't tell you
how long we will be here, suppose for
few days anyway.
The people are simply demoralized.
The main part of town where the
hotel stood is the river bed now. It's
about the hardest looking place one
can imagine. The stores and build
ings are all gone and in their places
is the main channel to the river
The hill back. of the stores is cut
down so it is about 80 feet deep and
it is cutting, cutting all the time.
The city is in darkness as of course
the electric plant was washed away.
The citizens are roaming about and
don't seem to realize that it is all
true. Business men have lost all
they had in the world. The people
are being taken care of by relief work.
Co. d of Mauston and Co. E of
Eau Claire are on duty patroling the
river and keeping the looters out.
Looters have been stealing stuff by
wagon loads, and that is the reason
we were called.
Down just south of the town the
banks are all washed away, fields that
were once fine pasture lands are now
nothing but wreck strewn bottoms,
washed over and covered with sand
from two to eight feet deep. There
is stuff strewn for miles down river
and we find anything from an old
straw hat to a fine piano. Down
river little way from here is coffin
and just few feet away is piano,
and just little farther is part of an
old church. Down farther is a big
saloon ice chest, all intact. There
were q bbls. of beer all connected to
the pump and the pump in working
order. There are buildings and build
ings all smashed up. There is stuff
that is worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars just little below us. 1t
makes a person simply sick to see the
wreckage.
| cannot tell you much about it by
writing. g.-Antigo Journal.

EFFORT AND SACRIFICE.

Many loving husbands and fathers
are struggling to save money to pro-
vide for their dear ones in the event
of their own death.
Many are carrying life insurance
for the same purpose. Others have
investments in stocks, bonds or real
estate; and others, still in active busi-
ness, have practically their all in
vested in the commercial enterprises
which they control.
If any of these were to die, what
would the estate realize
Might not the savings accummu-
lated by years of thrift be dissipated
by unnecessary expenses, unjust claims
or poor management? Might not the
life insurance be lost through mRiSe
investments; or the stocks, bonds,
real estate, or most of all, the mans
individual business, be sacrificed TO
obtain ready money for urgent claims
against the estate?
You can protect your estate against
any of these contingencies by making
a will and naming the Wisconsin
Valley Trust company, of Wausau,
Wis, your executor or trustee.
