Falls Lumber Co., and situated on
the range line between the towns OF
Berlin and Hamburg, was destroyed
by fire SUNDAY. 1t is not likely that
the mill will be rebuilt. The COM
pany has large stock of logs on hand
which will probably be hauled to the
mill in Rib Falls. The loss OF the
mill will be felt by the farmers in
that section.
At the last meeting of the Ladies
club it was decided to have Prof.
Clark's lecture in the Methodist
church and to make the price of adj
mission 35c for all but school pupils
and special price of 25c was made
for them. 1t is hoped by making the
price Of admission so reasonable all
who desire to hear Prof. Clark read
''The Blue Bird" will avail themselves
of the opportunity.
People who have been fishing in the
sloughs down near Schofield, report
that coyey of prairie chickens have
taken up their home in that locality.
Sometimes the whole flock is seen to
rise and fly across to the poplar grove
on the west side of the Schofield road,
and later to return. Hunters no
doubt will be after them next season,
though they ought to be allowed to
multiply for few years.

A pugilist who fought another
''pug" in Athens about a week ago,
drifted into town last week. Enter
ing place on the west side he raised
a row, kicked the coal stove over onto
the floor, so we are informed, and
drove the occupants out of the place.
Later he bumped into a good, stout
club, welded by husky arms, and
went down and out, taking the count,
which is another proof that he who
looks for trouble usually gets it.
Don't continue having those head
aches. Let us fit you with glasses
and cure them. Ingraham, Col Third
street.
John Buss, resident of the town
of Texas, was operated on in st.
Mary's hospital Saturday morning.
Mr.. Buss has been subject to epileptic
fits, and during one of those spells he
fell off load of hay in the summer
of 1909, and fractured his right
shoulder blade. The bone did not
knit properly, and when he would
raise his arm the arm would be
thrown out of joint. The operation
Saturday, it is believed, will restore
the use of the arm.
O. L. DorSchel will be succeeded as
manager of the light and power de-
partment of the street railway COM
pany, March l by r. b. Carter of
Appleton. Mr.. Dorschel resigned the
first of the year TO enter into the
lumber business in Chiffon with his
father, Since then, however, he has
spent most of his time here in his old
capacity, awaiting the arrival of some
one to take his place. His successor
has of late had charge of the electric
light plant in Jefferson Wis.
DIR. Frank L. Morrison of Clay
Center, Kas., died Friday at the
county hospital, aged tifty-two years.
The remains were shipped Saturday
to his home for burial at the request of
relatives. Deceased appeared here in
January and applied for lodging at
the police station. He was suffering
from exposure, and pneumonia de-
veloped. He was removed to the
county hospital, where he had since
been receiving treatment. Little is
known about the man except that he
had three brothers and sister, who
are well-to-do people.
The soft weather of nearly all last
week caused miniature lakes to form
at street corners where catch basins
were frozen up. On Saturday the
engines used for thawing out these
basins were brought out and put to
work. In most instances it was neces-
sary to merely melt the surface ice on
top of the basins. At some points in
town sidewalks were covered with
water to such depth that people had
to walk over lawns to save getting
wet feet. 1t was great weather for
the sale of rubber footwear.
At the council meeting Friday even
ing A. r. Schubring of the town of
Wausau presented bill for damages
to sleigh and harness sustained re-
Gently. While he and a neighbor
were going down Fourth street hin a
week ago with loads of cattle, their
sleighs slid to one side and tipped
over. 1t was lucky accident for
had they gone over the fill at its
highest point men and horses might
have been killed. Mr.. Schubring's
bill was a modest one and was only
for expenses of repair actually in
Cured. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on claims.
