Quoted yesterday.
There probably won't be wheel
barrow load of wall paper for Pier to
move when he gets ready to go into
his own building. It's surprising
what big bundle you get in his
store for your money.

Geo. Obermeier, residing at 825 N.
Third Ave-, was on Saturday sent to
the state sanitorium near Wales, up
on an order issued in county court.
He is suffering from tuberculosis and
has no finances to care for himself,
the state assuming the responsibility.
JOS Wetterneck, janitor of the
Irving school, has been having a
serious time lately with case of
blood poisoning, which developed
from wound produced by stepping
on rusty nail. That misfortunes
never come singly is demonstrated in
his case. He has child ill with
scarlet fever, and another child re-
Gently died.
An agent of the state treasury de-
partment spent day in the city last
week, coming here for the purpose of
investigating the affairs of a newly
established piano store. Information
had been given him, we learn, which
led him to believe that the proprie-
tors are but transient merchants
here today and there tomorrow. AS
the manager was not in the city, the
treasury agent Was forced to return
to Madison, but he will come here |
again at the time the next piano sale |
is conducted, which will be shortly.
After the clock strikes twelve next |
Friday night the lawful season for |
killing deer in Wisconsin will have |
opened. Such season is always well |
coined by the undertakers of our |
state, who do thriving business for |
twenty days. For the next several |
days there will be an exodus of hunt |
ers to the north woods. Deer ought |
to be in prime condition now, for
there has been no snow to interfere |
with their meals and lunches.
The Marathon County Railroad Co. |
has filed petition in circuit court to |
acquire by condemnation proceedings |
a strip of land in the town of Emmett |
near the village of Halder. The land |
is wanted for the company's extern
sion which it is building into Tlalder
and is owned by Geo. Kronenwetter, |
A. Won Berg and VIM. Lyle. The |
petitioner asks for the appointment |
of commissioners of appraisal to ascer
tain and appraise the compensation to |
be made to the owners or persons in !
terested in the lands. Judge Reid |
has issued an order that such hearing |
will be had on the 18th of November. |
Warrants were issued last week for |
Jas. Cunningham, Geo. Prey and r.
and E. Ellingson, all of the town of |
Ringle, charging them with killing !
deer out of season. AS all of the |
parties are at work in logging camp |
they arranged it SO that one of their |
number came to the city and entered
pleas of guilty for all of them. A
fine of S25 and costs was imposed on
the four, making the total cost $40.
The men claim that they were out
hunting smaller game, when they saw
two deer. Thinking that two deer
wouldn't be missed among the thous-
ands which roam the wildwood, they
assassinated them, but someone bear
ing grudge 'peached'' on them. The
game warden made search ana
found the carcaSes and hides.
Much of the walls of St. James
church, damaged at the time of the
catastrophe of several weeks ago,
have been torn down and rebuilt.
Only the portions which were most
damaged were removed, it being
found that aside from where they
were pushed out by the steel work
they were solid and plumb. The con-
tractor expects to have the structure
completed by early spring. Several
changes in construction have been
made to ensure safety.
Some of the town of Holton farmers
are wrathy over some of the alleged
actions of their neighbors. Some
years ago Wausau engineers were en-
gagged to set stone shafts at all the
section corners in that town. Lately
il has been discovered that some of
the markers have been shifted around
| by some party or parties, which al
| lows encroachment ON other peoples
| lands. A surveyor has been called for
to go over some of the work, and it is
/ likely that lawsuits will follow.
