He said Lajoie would not get back into the game before the middle of July.

MAY LOCATE HERE.

j. e. Molle of Antigo, has been in
the city for several weeks and has
been interesting business men in a
company which he proposes organiz-
ing for the purpose of manufacturing
typewriter. The typewriter is one
of his own invention, on which he has
been working for several years. The
machine resembles no other machine
on the market. 1t is said to be an
improvement over most of them, is
lighter, will stand more hard usuage
and costs less to manufacture.
After getting the machine perfect
ed Mr.. Molle started out to incorpOr-
ate company for 100000 to manu-
facture the machine. Appleton
looked pretty good to him and he start
ed canvassing, succeeding fairly well.
He came here a few weeks ago to con-
suit with some Wausau men who had
subscribed for stock. Other Wausau
parties got interested and induced
him to start a canvas here, with the
idea of locating in this city. He re-
ports that he is getting along nicely
in his efforts at organization, and the
prospects are very good for Wausau
having typewriter factory, which
will employ quite a number of skilled
mechanics from the opening.

WILL BORROW MONEY.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held last Friday night to con-
slider matters which had arisen re-
garding the building of city hall.
The contracts for constructing the
building call for the expenditure of
9,O38, with only $4,000 in the fund.
After the resolution had been passed
which stated to whom the various
contracts should be let, it was found
that there was niger on the fence.
The law provides that before any
public building is built the money
must be on hand or at least provision
for it must be made, and such must
be certified to on the contracts.
At Friday nights meeting a resolu-
ton was passed which it is believed
will meet conditions, until provision
can be made in future tax levy to
raise the money, which could not be
done this year, because we are up to
the limit in taxation. The resolution
provides that the finance committee
can borrow from other funds of the
city, or from banks, to meet payments
on the building, though such loans
may not be needed for year. 1t is,
however, the intention to get work
started this fall, of laying the founda-
tion, etc.
A resolution was passed at this
meeting to the effect that the city
will for the next two years proyidesult-
able quarters for the Hall-Miller Co.,
which intends to move to Wausau,
and at the end of that time to pro-
vide site for a factory, in case the
company decides to build. This COM
pany manufactures surgical instru-
ments on which it holds patents. 1t
is at present located in Marinette.
The company has rented the upper
floor of the Hall garage, and expects
to get it's machinery moved here
within a few days. The company
agrees to employ at least fifteen men
from the start, mostly high skilled
labor.
The patents cover new ideas in
surgical instruments and it is ex-
pected that the product of the fac
tory will have wide sale. Some
stock has been taken by Wausau
people.

CANNOT USE CAMERAS.

Whites who have visited the camp
of the WinnebagO Indians who have
a village at the foot of Skunk hill in
Wood county, a few miles south of
the Marathon county line, have
bumped up against snag this year.
At this season it is customary for the
Indians to give a dance of several
days duration. The representatives
of the tribe for miles around, includ-
ing those located around Hatley in
this county, congregate there each
season. 1t has been customary for
the whites to take all kinds of liber-
ties including the use of cameras.
Last week the chief, Kitchkomme,
gave orders to the effect that no one
with a kodak would be admitted to
the grounds, and his orders have been
carried into effect His explanation
is that the dance is the same to the
Indians as church services are to the
white man. Bill Boyce and family,
who reside near Mosinee, passed
through the city few days ago on
their way to the festivities.

SLIPPED A COG AGAIN.

Two weeks ago we mentioned the
fact that G. F. Hankwitz of Merrill,
and Albert Spencer of Richmond,
Ind, were in the city looking for a
site on which to open handle fac
tory. They found no one here who
appeared enough interested in the
matter to make any effort to get
them site, so they went back to
Merrill. The Chamber of Commerce
of that city got busy and summoned
them before a meeting of that body,
with the result that they were pre-
vailed upon to locate there, and are
at present hauling rock for a factory
foundation.
Now the action of the Chamber of
Commerce is what we call doing busi-
ness on the right plan. It means
that another factory has slipped
away from Wausau because we had
no organization, as Merrill has, to go
after enterprises.
The policy followed by this city at
present reminds a thinking man of
several things. Because we have
been doing pretty well up to lately
is no reason why we should relax our
efforts. At present we are travelling
on momentum, and momentum is
the gradual process toward a full
stop. Our present policy reminds us
Of one, James Jeffries. Nine or ten
years ago Mr.. Jeffries was the lead
ing man in his line of work. Busi-
ness was good and profits big. Hay-
ing about all the money he could
handle at the time, he decided to
take rest for while. Eventually
a meeting in Reno, New, was ar
ranged between Mr.. Jeffries and
dark complected gentleman of the
name Johnson. Mr., Jeffries was
still tolerablY content with what he
had done. He did not care to train,
to stand up and punch and take
punches. He saw no necessity Of
practicing side steps, feints and rush
eS. He knew all about them. Why,
seven years before he had done all
that that he ever needed to do. On
the other hand Mr.. Johnson did not
overlook the boxing, wrestling, clinch-
ing, side stepping, etc. The ineyi-
table result was that Mr.. Jeffries re-
ceiyed Mr.. JOhnson's compliments on
the point of the jaw and his business
career closed.
Wausau is taking the position of
Mr.. JetfrieS, and our end will be the
same as his unless we wake up. A
man might just as well cut off his
legs because he is running well in
foot race as for city to stop boosting,
because it is getting along fairly well.
A man might as well drop his life in
surance, just because at present he
is healthy.
Brother, . 'has done" is just 49,
bad as a "has been."
Merrill is growing so fast Industrial
ly that her Chamber of Commerce is
reaching out after more railroads,
the 500, Northwestern and Wiscon-
sin & Northern, with fair prospects
of getting one or more of them to
enter that city. And Wausau, what
is Wausau doing? Why, sonny,
Wausau is doing the same thing that

MUTES MARRIED.

John Wojchowski of Chicago, and
Miss May Gagne of this city, were
married Thursday morning in st.
James church. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. S. A. Moeller of
Chicago. The ceremony was the first
of it's kind to be performed in the
city, inasmuch as both of the con-
tracing parties are deaf mutes and
that the ceremony was entirely in
the deaf mute language of signs.
The bride was attended by Miss
Helen Sloan of this city, and the
groom by Peter Follmer of Chicago.
There was a large attendance in the
church, friends of the interested
parties being interested in a cere-
mOny which was to be conducted by
signs, it being novelty to all con-
CeTned.
Following the ceremony a breakfast
was served at the home of the young
lady on Second Ave, after which
they departed for their home in
Chicago.

HOW TO SLEEP.

DIR. Fisher, a physician practicing
in Paris, has turned his attention to
the matter of sleeping reform. After
a series of experiments he has come
to the conclusion that the orthodox
way of sleeping is wrong, and advo-
Gates a complete reversal of the exist
ing order of things. You must have
your head on level with or lower
than your feet. If pillows are to be
used they must be under the feet in
stead of the head. The result he
claims, will be amazing, being a sure
cure for insomnia as well as a preyen-
tive for nightmare. To prevent
any inconvenience by too sudden a
change the pillows should be gradu-
ally reduced and finally placed under
the feet.

X. C. CELEBRATION.

Wednesday, October 18th, was the
419th anniversary of the discovery
of America by Christopher Columbus.
This anniversary is becoming known
as Landing day and in twenty-nine
states of the union, it is regal hOli-
day. and it will probably not be long
until it is national legal holiday.
The anniversary was largely celebrated
in nearly every city of any size in the
United States and Canada.
Most of the celebrations were under
the auspices of the Knights of Colum-
bus, who have been the primary
factor in bringing the Importance
and solemnity of Landing day, to the
attention of the American people.
The local council of the Knights of
Columbus was no exception to the
general rule. The day was fitting
ly celebrated by Wausau Council No.
1869, and was the third annual cele-
bration in honor of the above named
event. The celebration took the form
of a reception and ball at Rothschild
park. The pavilion was handsomely
decorated and great pains were taken
to have the national character of the
day observed in the decorations.
Large American flags were draped
around the balconies and hung from
the girders. The girders were almost
hidden by hundreds of pennants with
the emblem K. of G. on them, which
were strung above the large dancing
floor of the pavilion. A very large
crowd turned out to celebrate the oc-
casion, many out of town guests being
present. There were over twenty-five
couple from Merrill, and several guests
from other cities.
The committee in charge of the
event was composed of DR.. j. d.
StOckwell, J. D. Coel, R. G. Deutsch
Don Morrison and Frank Okoneski.
