CHRISTINE MILLER CONCERT.

At the Universalist Church Wednes-
daV ening, Feb. IA, Christine Miller,
Coh6ralto singer, with her accomp-
anist, Carl Bernthaler, will give con-
cert under the auspices of the
Tuesday Musical Club. Christine
Miller is one of the celebrated singers
of our country. On Jan. 26 at Pitts
burg she substituted for Bonci in an
entertainment. OF her singing at
that time the Music News of that
city said:
'She was greeted by all with en-
thusiastic applause and there was
little sign of disappointment. Miss
Miller is a singer of songs. Her fluen-
cy, the sheer suppleness of her voice
TO all that she would do with it is re-
markable. Yet her tones never lose
their quality of sensuously beautiful
song. Her voice is rare in its rich,
warm beauty. Her skill, continuance
and freedom in the use of it is rarer
still. She deserves the attentive
study of our singers, the fill admira-
tion of our amateurs and connoisseurs
in song. Mr.. Bernthaler is a rare ac-
companist. He played the entire pro-
gram from memory and in absolute
sympathy with the singer throughout
the numbers
Christine Miller sang with Theo-
dore Thomas orchestra in Pittsburg
Nov. 18th; with the n. Y Symphony
Dec. 81 in N Y City, and Feb. in
Brooklyn; with the Cincinnati Or
chestra at Cleveland, o., Nov. 20: Min
neapolis Orchestra Dec. and 3, and
gave Tecitals in very many of the
larger cities of our country the past
year. Every lover of music should
hear her tomorrow evening.

RESIGNED.

Our people generally will deeply
regret to learn that Neil Campbell,
who has been secretary of the Y. NJ
G. A. in this city for neane sixteen
years, has rendered his resignation to
take effect on or before Sept. 1st.
This was done at. meeting of the
board of directors held on Saturday
afternoon.
Mr.. Campbell has been a tirelesS
worker in every branch of Christian
work since he has been here and he
has been an Invaluable man in the
community. He has otficiated many
times in nearly every English church
in our city IN the absence of pastors,
he has officiated at funerals in and
out. of WauSau: in fact gone cheer
fully wherever and whenever he was
called. Mr.. Campbell has been Of
great worth in this work and done in
calculable good. This was however.
insignificant as compared TO the great
work he has carried on with the bows
and young menof our city. The hun
dreds whom he has led into right
paths of living and thinking Will
never be known, but all know that he
has exerted power that was perfectly
marvellous. Mr.. Campbell has not
made any plans for the future as vet.
1t is hoped by all that he can see
his way clear TO reside in WauSau.

There wa considerable discus
sion along Ii e. 8 the DeUterNent
of the service IA. was the concsn-
sus of opinion that the person call-
ing up another, should always giHe
his own name before entering into
the business at hand. Many strenu-
ously objected TO the very impolite
manner in which many started out
with the question "Who is this ?"
The president stated that the ser
vice had not been just what it ought
TO have been during the past few
months. One cause. was the fact
that the plant had not been given
q thorough oyerhauling for two years
This should have been done the
past fall and winter, but as the ex-
pense was great and the plant had TO
be rebuilt when transferred 70
the new building this slg'as,
it was thought best not to do 1t.

When the plant was in the rew
building and the underground work
completed the service should be al
NEST perfect. Mr.. Heinemann also
made the statement that arrange
ments had been entered into with
the Wisconsin company for it to do
It's own long distance work and that,
With an independent line to Milwau-
kee, which it was hoped could be
gotten, Wausau would have a long
distance service not excelIed by any
city in the country. The old direc-
tors we're reelected and following the
stockholders meeting the directors met
and elected the following officers for
the ensuing year:

ground. This construction alone has
cost us ST., 9l4.92, but we have appre-
ciated the advantage it would be in
the appearance of our city and to the
public safety, and especially in hand
ling fires in the principal business
section of the city. Besides it insureS
the cOngeSted portion of our lines
against deterioration or injury from
Sleet or other storms. In order that
we might not inconvenience our pa
irons while this work was in pro-
gress, we have been obliged to pur-
chase all the cables we have put
under the ground, leaving the over
head cables in place until the new
under ground system was completely
Installed, including connection at our
central office. We have been taking
down the overhead cables since. We
Shall of course be able to make good
use of the overhead cables thus re-
leased, and in the spring the remain
der of the overhead cables in this
part of the town, and the poles, will
be taken down and used elsewhere.
The directors have sold the entire
$40, 10000 treasury stock remaining on
hand at the last treasurer's report,
as per your instructions, and have re-
Lceiyed therefor 100000. We have
paid and retired the old bonds out
standing against the company, and
the mortgage securing these bonds
has been duly released of record.
We negotiated the sale of the new
$50, 100000 bond issue authorized by
you to the Wisconsin Trust Co., at
par These bonds mature at the
rate of 100000 per year, commenc-
ing with October lst, 1916, and they
bear interest at the rate of per cent,
payable semi-annually, and these
bonds are made retireable on reason
able terms. We have received from
the Wisconsin Trust Co. So, 001. 90 to
apply upon these bonds, and + e re-
naming sum, of Sl4,999.00 will be
paid as requested by us. The inter-
est on these bonds becomes payable
only as payments are made to us by
the trust company. We have already
paid to apply on the building and its
furnishings S29.006.07, and as above
stated, it will require about S14, O0O.-

building.

CREAMERIES UNITE.
Organize Association for Mutual Ad.

Albert Lea.-The creameries of this
county are organizing an association
for mutual advancement and protec-
ton The plan adopted is along the
line of that proposed by F. ID. Currier,
secretary of the state Dairymen's as
sociation, and explained in a paper
read before the annual meeting of the
Minnesota State Butter and Cheese
Makers association last November
and since widely published. The
name of the new organization is the
Freedom County Creamery and Dairy
association, that is, each creamery
will pay to the treasurer of the as
ISOLATION one-fourth of a cent per 100
pounds of butter made during the
year. While this will not raise a
large fund, it will serve as a begin
ming for the work. The first officers
are: President, James Sorenson; vice
president, g. P. Latin; secretary, L..
p. Lawson; treasurer, J. c. Johnson.
The two latter officials were among
the sE,all number who organized the
first cooperative creamery in Mime

PABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried great many remedies
but nothing would help him, till
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before / could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"
