RED BANK FREEHOLD
MANY ATTRACTIONS TO
BE AT RED BANK FAIR
speo.aI By United Press wire.

Special BY DUtted PTeSs WTes
Red Bank, Aug. 10.-The attrac-
lions engaged for the Red Bank Fair
this fall contain more genuine novel
ties than we have ever e brought
together for the purpose Of enter
tanning. The Fair Association de
serves great credit for the many wise
selections and the care with which
1t has planned its program TO enter
tain the visitors. Chief among the
many attractions viii be the Norins,
famous European, high, trick and
fancy divers. For their purpose a
special tank must be built and a
huge tower erected, eIghty-fve feet
high, from which the diving is done.
One of this clever couple is a charm
ing young lady who enters into the
spirit Of the work until II ig mere
play and the ease and grace with
which she performs stamps here as
an artist Of the highest character.
For absolute daring and thrilling
novelty nothing has yet been devised
by man to cause a greater thrill than
their famous fire dive from the top
Of the tower, eighty-fve feet in the
air, to the blazing tang Of fire be-
low. AS they leave the tower their
clothes are apparently on fire and
to plunge into the flaming tank
looks like committing suicide, yet
they rise, p~henix-like, unhurt.

CONFIDENT AS TO FUTURE
Negro Bridegroom Asked Parson Whs
Performed Ceremony to Walt
Until the Bride Got a Job.

The pastor of large Baptist church
in neighboring city, whose congrega-
ton included many negroes, received
recently a call from young colored
man and woman on matrimony bent.
The man had been a shiftless person
and the woman was known as indus
trious. The preacher noticed that the
bridegroom was all spruced up and
concluded that the bride had made
a proper member of society out of
him, so he went ahead with the cere-
nOny with a good deal of satisfaction.
He had it in mind not to accept
fee from these lowly members of his
flock, but the bridegroom, with a
beaming face, handed over the usual
small envelope and departed with his
Dinah before the preacher could pro-
test, When the pastor opened the
envelope later he read this note:
Dear Pastor: l am sorry | cannot
pay you fee now for uniting me in
wedlock, but l spent all l had on we'd
ding clothes. l will send you the
money just as soon as Dinah gets to
work again"
The preacher got fee later from a
very grateful Dinah, who seemed to
think it proper that she should pay,
and was overcome with surprise when
the fee was given back to her as a
wedding present.

was the distance between cars.
And then came the back platform
of the car, and he shot out his arm,
clutched the hand rail-and the next
instant he was standing on the plat

been yanked from its socket, but wear

CAME EARLY.

Somebody with a curious idea of
what constitutes huFh0-, played a
mean, low down trio, on us last
Wednesday. Instead Of waiting un-
til June %, when the thing is sched-
uled, they started the SUNNI er season
on the first mentioned date. The
local weather bureaus thermometer
registered 81 that day, and for sever
al days following the mercury how
cred between so and 80. Wednesday
was the hottest day in Chicago that
that city has experienced on the 18th
of May in twenty-eight years. The
hot wave, coming as it did following
chilly weather and a long winter, took
all the gimp out of people. 1t was
just what was needed, however, for
vegetation, and everything is growing
remarkably well. Garden truck is
further advanced than it has been
for several years, especially in light
soil.

MACADAmIZING DELAYED.

AS matters stand at present there
is little prospect of the city beginning
macadamizing work very soon-per-
haps not until mid summer. Al pres
ent most all teams are engaged and
there are few idle men to be secured
they are all working ON the street
car company's improvements and on
other new work. When the repaving
of Third street is in full swing
there will not be a laborer idle in
Wausau-if there is it will be his own
fault. The city authorities do not
propose to go outside the city for
labor and so will let 1nacadamizing
drag until conditions are better for
securing men and teams. Property
owners cannot kick, for there will be
expense enough to pay, for the Third
street work. The macadamizing pro-
gram will necessarily be cut short,
but this will result in less expense
next winter in the purchase of rock.
There is never any loss bat what
there is some gain.
