WANTED A CHANGE.

Yesterday an inmate of the county
asylum left that institution and came
up town, appearing at the county
judges office. He told that official
that he was getting tired Of the asy-
I'M, that he had been there long
enough to get acquainted with the
other inmates, and that he was not
insane anyway. He wanted his liber-
ty, and was going to get it, by jinks.
The judge, on some preteXt, slipped
out of the room and notified the aSy
lum heads that the man was up town,
and then went back to converse with
him. 1t was not long before the
man was prevailed upan TO return to
the asylum, and he went back with
out the attendants coming after him.
A short time ago one of the in
mates, through the recommendation
of the board of trustees, was dis
charged from the asylum. He had
made application three months pre-
viously for his discharge, but the
matter was deferred for a reason.
The man is an expert cabinet maker,
talks very intelligently on all sub
jects except when his family troubles
are mentioned, when he goes up in
the air. When he was discharged a
new suit of clothes was purchased
for him. and he was informed that he
was welcome to return at any time,
because of his hardness with tools.
The man remained away one day and
then returned, saying that he had en-
joyed all the liberty he wanted.
The asylum in time is looked upon
by these people as the only home they
have or can obtain, and some of the
patients could not be driven from IT,.

DEATH OF GEO. SHAUGHNESSY.

A dispatch received by A. H. Grout,
on Saturday, conveyed the sad news
of the death of his brother-in-law,
Geo. Shaughnessy of Milwaukee. Mr..
Grout departed last evening TO attend
the funeral, which took place this
morning from the house in Milwau-
kee, and he was met there by his son,
Clyde, of Petersboro, Ont. Mr..
Shaughnessy had been i'll for some
time with heart trouble, and on this
account had retired from business.
1t was while riding along alone in his
carriage, Saturday morning that
death came.
George ShaughneSsy was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. George ShaughneSsy
and was born in Wausau in about
1855. His father was a soldier in the
war of the rebellion enlisting in Co.
G., 18th Wis. Inf, and died while in
service, Jan. 18th, 1864. Mrs. Shaugh-
messy died in 1873 Their son George
continued to reside in WauSau until
some thirty odd years ago, when he
departed TO carve out his fortune in
other fields. He married and even
tually settled in Milwaukee where he
had conducted very successful mer-
camille business. He is survived by his
wife and one daughter.

Why Not Buy a Lot Now?

Why not select a lot now, in one of
the rapidly growing suburbs and close
to the car line, where you can get
nice big lot sufficiently large upon
which to keep COW, some chickens,
a horse, if you want to, and still have
room enough left for good big garden.
The advantage of buying close to
the car line is that you can always
sell readily, if you should desire TO
and at good profit.
We have a number of choice lots all
along Grand avenue, close TO the car
line, which we are selling at prices
ranging from 500 up. These are fine
large level lots, desirably located for
homes, IN a rapidly growing section
and it will pay you TO investigate
these now.
In addition, should you not care to
be so close to the car line and want a
larger tract of land we have some fine
acre, 2-acre and 5-acre tracts at prices
ranging from $50 up. These would
make fine places for homes for those
who would like TO engage in the
poultry and truck business All OF
these are within q few minutes walk
of the car line. the village OF Scho-
field, Rothschild and the city of Wau-

WHAT THEY FOUND.

The members of the board of pub
lie works who returned Friday night
from Minneapolis found that the peo-
pie of that city are almost unanimous
in their opinion that creosoted blocks
make the best pavement. That city
has over 100000 square yards of
block pavement laid and will lay go,
600 more this season. They are tear
ing up yitritied brick pavements and
replacing them with creosoted blocks.
The board saw one block pavement
that had been down eleven years,
which looked as if it had been put
down only few weeks ago. One
argument against creosoted blocks Is
that they get slippery in lime. The
board saw blocks being laid on one
street in Minneapolis, having what
an engineer would term a six per
cent. grade. or a grade of six feet to
the hundred. The board members
inform US that the people of Mime
apolis consider the block pavement
most sanitary of any After hearing
and seeing what they did the board
feels that the citizens of Wausau
made no mistake in selecting ereo-
soted blocks for their pavement.

CLEARING UP.

The property owners in Forest Park
have crews of men at work trimming
up the trees, cutting out the under
brush, and burning up old logs, and
vastly enhancing the beauty of the
ground, and when completed clear
view of the city can be had from every
part OF the addition. This work is be
ing done more especially to protect
the addition from fire. Many of our
people are not aware that we have a
large park inside of the city limits,
where the trees are Two feet through,
and where there are more vari-
ETY. OF trees than in any park in the
state A few of the different
kinds of trees are oak, butt arnut, elm,
maple, birch, Eastwood, white ash,
blue beech, ironwood, hemlock and
hickory. When you go out with your
family next Sunday, take them TO the
north end of the city for a change and
look over Forest End Alexander parks
and the river in the neighborhood.
Take your lunch with you and eat it
at the old Jim Moore spring or at
Iris Dell spring, which is on Seventh
street and back of the Croker cottage.
There will not be any one there to sell
you land, but just put in a pleasant,
old fashioned time with your family.
