The engagement of Miss Imogene
Harger of this city to Mr.. William j.
Hart of Seattle, Wash, was an
nounced at an informal party given
by Miss Ruth Porter last Saturday
afternoon. Miss Harger is daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. W. Harger and
Mr.. Hart is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. 2,
G. Hart, formerly of this city. 1t is
understood that the wedding will take
place some time next fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Butler are pre-
pairing to leave Wausau and are offer
ing their home on Seventh street for
sale. Mr.. Butler has been resident
of Wausau for many years, sixteen OF
which he has been in the faithful
employ of the Wausau Novelty CON-
pany as bookkeeper. He contemplates
adopting the law profession and goes
to Marquette college, Milwaukee, to

Mayor Lamont has vetoed the dog
ordinance passed at the last meeting
of the city council. This he did be-
cause it made no provision for keep
ing dog officer on duty, and would
allow all licensed dogs to run at will
over everybody's gardens and lawns.
If the ordinance had been allowed to
stand there is no doubt but what
wholesale dog poisoning would have
resulted, for people will not tolerate
the running at large of dogs. They
have been imposed on too often. A
good many people hold the same view
of dog as they do of an Indian
that the only good ones are the dead
ones.
A box Car belonging to Mexican
railroad company was brought into
the st. Paul yards Friday afternoon.
1t was reported, and the car gave
evidence to prove it, that it had
passed through some of the revolu-
tionary scenes being enacted in the
land of Diaz. Several bullets had
passed through it, some were en-
bedded in the hardwood beams and
part of one corner was torn off pre-
sumably by ashell. The capacity and
dimensions were given in the metric
system Kilograms, centimeters, etc.
The car was American made, being
the production of a st. Louis car
foundry.
The Scott-Fourth street loop was
completed Saturday night, and cars
have since been running over it. The
street car company's employees have
since been having a heluva of time,
to adopt French expression, in
keeping cars on the track at the
corner of Third and Scott streets.
One car was ditched at that point
Sunday afternoon, and another yes
terday morning. From the intersec-
tion of Washington street with
Fourth the track on the latter street
is laid on top of the macadam and
will be pulled up on or before July l..
The balance of the track will stay
down until an earthquake or a prayer
removes it.
A car has started out from Milwau-
kee, designated the pathfinder, whose
occupants will determine the route to
be traversed by the Wisconsin Auto
mobile associations reliability tour
in July. The car will reach WauSau
tonight, it is expected. Wausau will
be made one of the night stopping
places for those who enter the contest,
and they will be entertained by men,
bers of the local association. Three
Milwaukee newspapers have offered
trophies to the participants making
the best records in this contest, and
there will be great many entered.
The exact time for the contest has
not been settled, but it will probably
be the second week in July.
The labor difficulties at the plant
of the Marathon Granite Co. has
been adjusted, and the crew has gone
back to work. The disagreement
came about in March, and the plant
was shut down pending a settlement.
In the meantime some of the granite
cutters left the city and have taken
up work elsewhere. The workmen
say they have been treated fairly in
the adjustment of wages, and speak
in high terms of the attitude of the
company in dealing with them. The
company employees many men and
pays higher wages than most other
enterprises in the city. 1t also en-
ployes force throughout the year.
