A rail welding crew, with machin-
cry has arrived here from Milwaukee
and will begin work tomorrow MORN
ing in welding the rail joints of the
Wausau Street Railroad Co. This is
a job which is attended with more or
less danger, for if there is any mois-
ture touches the moulten me tai, a
terrific explosion results.
A boy, in attempting to recover a
ball which had been knocked into the
water from the Country clubs golf
grounds Sunday, got into a perilous
position. After swimming a distance
he became fatigued. The water was
deep and there was danger of his
drowning. Sidney Stein, who had
been watching him, ran to the bridge
west of the pavilion and leaping off
this rescued the boy.
The sixty-fourth anniversary of
Gustav Mueller's birth was celebrated
by that worthy last Sunday evening
when, about twenty-five members of
the Liederkranz, of which he is
director, visited his home on Grand
Ave. These friends were accom-
panied by their wives and they made
up very joyous party. Roll mops
and other refreshments were passed
around and many songs in the tongue
of the Fatherland were sung. Mr..
Mueller has been a resident of Wau-
sau since 1s67-forty-four years.
Eddie Mccormick, a noted charac-
ter in these parts, made his escape
last night from Deputy Sheriff Alex.
Mcdonnell. Eddie, who is better
known heres as 'Toughy" or ''Scrappy"
! Mccormick, lad just completed a
sentence in the state penitentiary
and was re-arrested at the prison
doors on another charge. Mccormick
is crafty fellow. He came along
peacefully with Mr.. Mcdonnell until
Mosinee was reached, when he jumped
off the train and escaped. Officers are
on the trail today and will likely get
him-some time
The two local florists report good
sales of cabbage and tomato plants on
account of the ravages of cut worms,
The worms in single day will de-
stroy dozens of plants. Our people
have been experimenting with ashes,
salt, kerosene, tobacco stems and
other things, in an effort to rid their
lands of the pest. We believe the
only effective remedy is to catch the
worms and force a quantity of
istrychnine down their outlets. There
is only one word which describes their
work. That word starts with h and
finishes with l. They are worse this
year than they have been since as far
back as the oldest inhabitant can re-
member.
The street car company is losing
money this summer through not hav-
ing more cars on the west side when
ball games are played. There is but
one car. which runs on regular sched-
ule time, no effort being made to
have it meet the crowds coming from
the park. The track on Third street
has been torn up for several weeks,
and as it will be some time before
the track will be in shape to get more
Icars to the west side it will be seen
that building operations mean a
lpecuniary loss TO the company. But
it cannot be helped 1t would not
have been good policy to have placed
several cars on the west side route
before the tear-up was made and al
low them to stand out in the street
nights.
