Why Not Buy a Lot Now?

Why not select lot now, i'm one of
the rapidly growing suburbs and close
to the car line, where you can get a
nice big lot sufficiently large upon
which to keep COW, some chickens,
a horse, If you want TO, and still have
room enough left for good big garden.
The advantage of buying close to
the car line is that you can always
sell readily, if you should desire to
and at good profit.
We have number of choice lots all
along Grand avenue, close TO the car
line, which we are selling at prices
ranging from 5000 up. These are fine
large level lots, desirably located for
homes, in rapidly growing section
and it will pay you to investigate
these now.
In addition, should you not care to
be so close to the car line and want a
larger tract of land we have some fine
acre, 2-acre and 5-acre tracts at prices
ranging from $3.50 up. These would
make fine places for homes for those
who would like to engage in the
poultry and truck business. All of
these are within few minutes walk
of the car line, the village of SchO-
field, Rothschild and the city of Wau-
Sau.

THIRTY GRADUATES.
That Number Are Given Diplomas
by the County Training School.

Notwithstanding the intense heat
of the day several hundred people
were in attendance at the graduation
exercises of the Marathon County
Training School for Teachers, on
Thursday evening last. In fact the
large assembly hall in the high school,
where the exercises were given, was
comfortably filled.
The graduation programs of our
training school have always been
interesting, and are becoming more
SO as the years pass, and the one of
Thursday evening proved as strong
as any that has ever been planned by
the school. This was due to good
Judgment in selection of numbers,
and to thorough training. The work
of rehearsal had been under the
direction of the Misses Hamacker and
Rohrer, the former having given
much attention to the presentation
of the class play. "Mrs. Wiggs of the
Cabbage Patch" The story of this
play was written some years ago by a
woman, and was so largely read and
met with such favor that it was
dramatized by playwright, and has
been played by professional companies.
While all the individual numbers on
the program were excellent, the main
feature, of course, was the play, and
it was given in excellent style.
Professional training was maifested
by the students assuming the parts
of the different characters, and at its
conclusion the audience voted it one
of the most entertaining features
which has been witnessed at gradu-
alton in this city. The program is
herewith given:

INNS BAND COMING.
Rothschild Pavilion to Be Opened
July 1 With Grand Concerts.

Announcement is made that on
Saturday, July l, the new pavilion at
Rothschild, lately completed at a
cost of $4,000, will be formally
opened. Frederick Innis and his
world famous orchestral band of fifty
pieces has been engaged for the oc-
casion, and will give two concerts,
one in the afternoon and one in the
evening.
This is one of the leading musical
organization of this country and
made hit at the Alaska Yukon ex-
position. The band stops off here on
its way to Minneapolis where it plays
a weeks engagement at the Joining
of the Lakes jubilee, and was secured
only after the most fiattering offers
had been held out.
In the band are five solists, and
each musician is the best performer
on his instrument that money and
careful selection can procure.
Accompanying the band is Miss
Beatrice Van Loon, the leading light
last winter with the Chicago Grand
Opera Co. She will sing several of
the numbers which made her famous
with that company.
Go down to the park early. It's a
cool flace You will always regret
it if you miss either one of these con-
certs.

POOR GRADE OF CEMENT.

The work of laying the cement
foundation for the Third street paw
ing was stopped on Wednesday, it be-
ing found that the cement being
used was of an inferior grade-in fact
it was worthless. A teamSter drove
a wagon over the street that day
where the cement was supposed to be
firmly set, and the wagon wheels cut
through. An investigation showed
that the cement had only partially
hardened on top and that underneath
it was loose and wet. A test was
then made of all the cement that was
laid, and it was found to be all right
from the intersection of Jefferson
street northward. South of that
street it was soft and mushy. Where
the street car company's rails had
been welded the same kind of cement
had been used to fill in between the
ties. This, too, was found to be soft,
although laid nearly week previous.
The city's contractor, Chris. john
son, at once ordered work stopped and
telegraphed the cement manufactur-
ers to send an inspector here.
1t will be necessary to tear up one
side of the length of five blocks and
replace the work with good grade
of cement. This will delay the work
for several weeks. The street car
company has already removed the
concrete from the places where it was
found to be poor. Mr.. johnson had
started laying blocks when the trouble
was discovered. 1t was his intention
to get one side of the street finished
as soon as possible, &c allow team
traffic.
