Frank Leuschen, publisher of the
Marathon Times, was in the city on
Wednesday and installed the officers
of ST. Mary's Court No. 49S G. o. F..
on that evening Mr.. Leuschen wrote
as follows concerning the court in the
last issue of his paper:
"The high standing of St. Mary's
Court is due no doubt great deal to
the excellent management and execu-
tire abilities of the outgoing G. r.,
Geo. Borrowitz. 1t was also due to
his efforts that the city of Wausau
was chosen as the next place for
| holding the state convention, which
| will take place next summer. Wausau
is becoming more and more popular
as convention city every year, and
we are sure that the boys of St. Mary's
| Court No 49S G. O. +. under the
| leadership of their gallant new Chief
Ranger, Ed. German, will do every
thing in their power to prove that
Wausau was worthy of the trust re-
posed in it by the last state conven-
ton of the c. 0. F., and they will
entertain their visitors in a most
royal manner"

Let Us Make It IS. 600

Without any booming or boosting;
without, in fact, any effort beyond
letting things take their own course,
Wausau has grown faster than any
other city in Wisconsin except
three-Green Bay, Beloit and
Kenosha. Such large growth,
acquired without effort, is surely a
healthy one. In the meantime let it
be remembered that several nearby
suburbs have taken out of the city
limits large number of people dur
ing the last decade. Our city has out
grown its limits, and it is safe to say
that If all were cornted who really
live in the city, though not within its
statutory limits, another one thousand
would be added to our population.
This fine growth, coming without
especial effort, suggests a question
that every Wausau citizen should
take to heart seriously. What will be
the effect if we henceforth do what
we can to push our city ahead; to
make known it's advantages SO that
the whole country shall know about
us the facts that are now known to
ourselves only. We have not par
ticle of doubt that with the right
effort upon the part of our citizens
and especially our business men,
our city will reach or maybe pass
the $4,000 mark during the next
decade. If we do as well as Beloit
has done during the last decade, and
take in the suburban districts THAI in
fact belong to us, we shall easily ex-
coed that mark. 1t is up to us now.
Our location, our waterpower, our
rapid gain ever other cities in Central
Wisconsin, these and many other adj
vantages make it much easier for us
to forge ahead now than it was ten
years ago. We can have a really
large and important city here at
Wausau. We can do it easily if we
really try. Let us do it then.

THE Wisconsin legislature will
convene tomorrow noon. 1t is said
that for the first time in many years
there will be no contests. The slate
for both houses has been arranged
and from present appearances will go
through without a hitch. 1t is as
follows: President rrotem of the
senate, Senator II. G. M,Ttin, Darling
ton; chief clerk, F. NJ. Wythe, Madi-
son; sergeant at arms, G. A. Luchb,
New Lisbon. Speaker of the assem-
bly,, G. A. Ingram, Durand; chief
clerk, C. E. Shaffer, Madison; sergeant
at arms, probably w. S. Irvine, Clark
county. 1t is believed that the
session will be long one. The ma
jority may find some difficulty and
rough shedding in carrying out the
state platform of the party, and
there are many important measures
to be threshed out. 1t is quite likely
that the legislature win not adjourn
before June. 1t is not known as yet
when the matter of choosing sue
cessor to the Hon. Robert Marion La
Toilette will be taken up, nor do the
stalwart republicans seem to have
settled upon a candidate for the Hon.
Roberts seat.
Gov. McGoverns message is in the
hands of the printer, and it is under
stood will be presented to the legisla-
ture on Thursday. Aside from rec
concentrations regarding platform
pledges, its contents are matter OF
conjecture, the governor having kept
his counsel we'll. 1t is believed he
will call special attention to the
amendments to the primary law, to
strengthening the corrupt practices
act and passage of laws for state con-
troll of the water powers and for an
income tax.

HE papers say that genuine mid
winter blizzard is on it's way direct
from Alaska and according to the
weather bureau will reach this section
about the middle of this week. But
then we've known these predictions
to tail and perhaps they will this
time. The weather today in Wausau
does not presage anything of the
kind.

FIERCE STORM.

Last Saturday night snow fell to
the depth of six inches or more and
Sunday morning everybody had to
get busy shoveling snow. The storm
kept up all day Sunday and in the
afternoon the wind blew a perfect
gale driving the snow in great drifts
and filling the air to such an extent
that it was difficult to get about. 1t
was the fiercest storm of the winter
thus far, trains were delayed and
have been every day since. The snow
is now over two feet deep on the level
and unless we have thaws, any more
snow will prove serious thing.

Political Passions Of 1874.

There were elements of picturesque
ness and drama in the politics of the
before the war time which are lack

in her autobiography of a Wing rally
which makes the political meetings of
today seem tame, cut and dried af-
fairs. 1t was in 1914 the year of
Clay's defeat. and feeling ran high.
At that particular time John Tyler
was perhaps the most unpopular man
in the Union. In the progress of his
review of national affairs the orator
at last came to the hated name. In
stantly uprose the majestic figure of
Captain Cooke The local eccentric.

coat he invariably wore THE Lord

and sonorous with the mint juleps for
which the Bell was noted. Fellow

John Tyler's name is mentioned!

In "a Century OF English Ballads"
recent book by Harold Simpson,
says the Pittsburg Gazette-Times,
there is delightful story of Stephen
lncledon, an eminent tenor of orner
days, whose singing of Black Eyed
Susan" was peculiarly to the peoples
taste
While staying at country inn, In.
cledon had quarreled during the even
ing with an army officer. He imagined
he had closed the controversy by go
ing off to bed but the officer, left
downstairs to brood over his wrongs,
thought otherwise
Making HIS way to Tncledon's bed.
room, he found the singer fast asleep.
When he succeeded in waking him, a
matter of some difficulty, the officer
demanded satisfaction.
Satisfaction murmured Incledon,
sleepily. We'll, you shall have It,"
Whererpon he sat up in bed and sang
"Black-Eyed Susan" In his best style.
There he said, lying down again.
my singing of that song has given
satisfaction to thousands, and 1t viii
have to satisfy you!' And he turned
over and went to sleep again.
