London-Should George v. lose
his snug fitting crown he could make
good living as a stock raiser. At
the annual Smithfield cattle show at
the Agricultural hall, the king was
one of the heaviest prize winners.
In the class for young Devon
steers the royal farms at Windsor
took first and third prizes and in the
next class for Devon steers above
two and not exceeding three years of
age, the king gained first prize as
well as the breed cup, won by Cap
tain, a splendid animal weighing
1852 pounds.
With his Herefords the king took
two seconds for the steer classes and
a first with a heifer Of that breed.
Marmaduke. a handsome steer bred
at Windsor, took first prize in the
shorthorn class of young steers. In
the class for Highland cattle, the
king pleased his Scottish subjects by
capturing one first and two seconds.
His Southdown sheep also gained a
first prize for the crowned farmer.
The royal farmer was a keen con-
tender for the ribbon offered for the
best beast in the show and his prize
winning steer, Marmaduke, was pa
raded before the judges in this com
petition, but the coveted trophy went
to Village Lassie, shorthorn be

THE OLDEST TRIPLETS.

The sixty-seventh anniversary of
the birth of Mrs. Sedate Pier of this
city, and Sidney and Sylvester Win
decker of Fond du Lac county, triplets,
was observed last Friday. A celebra-
ton was held at the bone of Mrs. H.
r. Hill, an older sister, living in
Ripon. There were about fifty guests
present including Col. Pier and Ole
Amunson of this city. These trip
lets are now the oldest in the world.
Up to short time ago three of a
family down i'm Ohio claimed that
distinction, but one of the number
has passed away, breaking the chain.
For a great many years it has been
the custom of the Windecker triplets,
as they are known, to meet on the
9th of June and celebrate the ami
versary of their birth. Last year the
celebration took place at the home of
Mrs Pier in this city. These meet
ings are always joyous ones, not only
for the brothers and their sister, but
to the assembled guests.
One of the features at the reunion
last Friday was visit from triplets
of Ripon-little boys. They had their
picture taken together-the group
composing the oldest and perhaps the
youngest triplets in the state.

PLEASANT EVENING.

DR.. Russell Lyon entertained about
fifty of his gentlemen friends at din
ner on Friday evening at $50 O'Clock,
at his home on East McIndoe street.
The home was decorated with cut flow
ers, palms and ferns. Dinner was
served on handsomely decorated Ia
bles in the dining and living rooms.
At each guests plate was a pretty
decorated name and score card. 1t
was the intention to follow with
a season of progressive bridge whist,
but when cigars were passed, to a
man, they walked about the residence
grounds and enjoyed the beautiful
scenery which is ever before those on
East hill, and the cooling breezes
which were very acceptable owing to
the extreme heat.
Many played whist and others whiled
the evening in social converse. 1t
was late hour when all retired to
their homes, having greatly enjoyed
DR.. Lyons hospitality.

STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY
COMING TO WAUSAU.
The Annual Meeting of Doctors Of State
of Wisconsin Will BE Held Here
Carly Next June.

At the meeting of the Wisconsin
State Medical society, held at Rest
haven hotel, WaUkesha, June G to 8,
it was voted by the house of delegates,
the executive body of the society, to
bring the next meeting of the society
to Wausau. This will bring from two
hundred to four hundred of the lead
ing physicians and surgeons of the
state to our city and will be very
important meeting.
The WaukeSha meeting was a very
successful one in every way and very
well attended Marathon county
members who attended the whole or
a part of the session were: Drs. IL.
M Willard, S. M. B. Smith, w. A.
Green, R. w. Jones, j. +. Smith and
E. Roy The Marathon county society
was efficiently represented at the state
meeting by Dr. j. f. Smith, who was
the delegate from the local society
The local society was also represented
upon the program by a paper on
medical Inspection of Schools by
DR.. r. w. Jones. The plan worked
out in Wausau during the last year
was detailed and the discussion
brought out by the paper showed that
the interest in medical inspection of
schools is general throughout the
state. Addresses were given by DrS.
j. 4. Goldthwait of Boston, and r. G.
Cabot also of Boston. These addresses
were of scientific interest and were en-
Enthusiastically applauded.
A smoker and banquet were given
and the people of Waukesha turned
out with their automobiles and gave
the visiting doctors sightseeing trip
about the city.
All those who attended the meeting
report that it was.one of the best ever
held in the state, both from the
standpoint of scientific interest and
pleasure and it is to be hoped Wau-
sau may be able to do even better
next year.

THINK ABOUT IT NOW.

On July lst, a large number of the
savings department depostorS of the
First National bank will be drawing
six months interest on the money
they had on deposit with that bank.
With some of them it is going to be a
new experience; others have been
looking forward to these First National
bank interest days for many years. Il
is indeed happy feeling when man,
woman or child has reached that stage
in life when they possess a bank
account that is growing every six
months all by itself.
Yet there are still large number
of people who know nothing of this
experience. To those the First
National bank extends hearty invita-
ton to plan now to join their happy
banking family. 1t does not take
much to make the start-$100 will do.
