Anton Dern, who has been i'll for
the past several weeks, is able to be
up and around again. Mr.. Dern is
one of the oldest residents of Wausau

Some fellows, full of Christmas
spirit or spirits, made life miserable
for residents of the northern part of
town Sunday night. They evidently
imagined that they were Apache In
dians, for they made as much noise as
band of red skins on the warpath.
There ought to be bounty on such
animals.
Logging operations in this section
have been at a standstill- in fact
many camps have suspended activity
in that line, owing to the mild weather
during the past month. Unless snow
and colder weather is soon had the cut
will fall far short of the usual harvest
which will be rather disastrous to Eli
concerned.
Albert Fluegel arrived home Friday
from st. Mary's, w. Va, where he
had been called TO the bedside of his
half-brother, Aug. Martin. Mr..
Martin was for many years resident
of this city, and served one term as
sheriff. He is suffering from COM
plication of diseases which it is ex-
pected will END in death shortly.
There will probably be another
wrestling match held in the city soon
between Henry Lindsey of Neills-
vile, and Ted Tonneman of Chicago.
AS both gave very good exhibition
at their first and last appearance in
this city, when the matched was de-
elared draw, they no doubt will at
tract large audience next time.
Hilda Gunell died Sunday morning
at the county hospital at the age of
years. She was resident
of Merrill, but had been confined in
the state and Marathon county hospi-
tails for insane for the past thirteen
years. Both her parents are dead,
and the only relatives she has are
two brothers who are living at Merrill.
They have ordered that her funeral
be held here tomorrow afternoon.
The hotels of Wausau are deserted
these days SO far as travelling sales
men are concerned, all, with a few
exceptions, being called home to their
families and friends and by their en-
ployers for a season of rest and recup-
Grafton and for an accounting, during
the past years activity. Said estab-
lishments look distressingly lonesome
since their daily absence. Let's hope
to soon see them again.
The school fund income. amounting
to $2,089, 077.93, has been apportioned
among the different counties of the
state. Marathon county is benefited
to the extent of S57, 982. 80, based on a
school population of q, 1854 on June 30
Of the present year. The total num-
Der of children of school age at that
time, as reported, was 773,898. Mil
waukee county of course draws the
most money and Florence county the
least.
Newspapers recently stated that
Roy Jenkins had been ''sent up" from
Lacrosse for robbing freight car.
A young man of that name formerly
lived here, and an investigation was
started which resulted in securing
picture from the penitentiary. When
the picture arrived it was seen that
it was that of Irving Alderman of
this city, and wanted here by the
officers to answer to the charge of
forgery.
The Marathon highway commission
will meet tomorrow for the purpose
of discussing plans for carrying out
the state highway proposition. The
has several plans under
1t is possible that the
will submit plan to the
board for approval. In dis
cussing the matter it has been dis
covered that people in the different
towns which have voted for state aid
are not all in accord as to what roads
should be declared state highways.
Every man living near road wants
that road selected even if it is only
a lateral road, and comes to an end
at his place. By letting the county
board decide, will lift a burden off the
commissions shoulders.
