THE PRICE OF BUTTER.

Undoubtedly most of our readers
have heard of, or personally exper-
fenced the tremendous rise in the price
of butter The Elgin board of butter
manipulators has taken the liberty
to advance the price of this much
needed commodity to 40t cents per
pound, i. e. the price paid to the pro-
ducer of the butter. Why such a
high price should be made on shat
staple article, a scarcity of which had
not existed in the markets, is not ex-
plainable, other than that the cold
storage people wanted to make a big
cleanup on the stock they had on
hand. And, as the Elgin board and
the cold storage people are one and
the same party, it proves to be an
open-handed holdup of the public.
The government has taken the case
in hand, and an investigation of the
doings of the Elgin board is now on.
What good will come of it remains to
be seen.
So far the facts of interest to the
public are plain. But now, let us
look into the matter little more and
see how the Elgin price affects the
butter that is usually sold by the
producers. Elgin price is made on
perfect product, a butter that will
score SO points or better. The price
made will then govern the output OF
all creameries in the middle states, and
according to that price the farmers
are paid for their milk, i. e. the but
terfat contained in the same. Now,
there is lot of butter made in cream
cries as we'll as by farmers, that is
not perfect, and at its best would not
score even up to the 50 point mark.
For this inferior article though the
same price is asked as for first-class
article, not from the butter merchant
attending the board at Elgin, but
from the consumer, who is informed,
that the Elgin price governs the mar
ket. The former would not even
stick his tester into some of the pro-
duct, while the consumer either is
forced to pay the price, or not use
any butter at all.
In some places merchants have been
offering a class OF butter that would
not be accepted at the Elgin board at
any price, at A and As cents, and some
people bought it, not knowing wheth-
er the butter was worth carrying
home or not. This is where the Ell
gin board is shouldered with the re-
suits of the trouble created by its
price manipulators. The board
members or cold storage operators do
not expect to get the high price for
| their butter, but under the veil of
the high price they get rid Of their
inferior article at good Margin
perhaps 80 or 80 cents a pound for
butter that was bought in the sum-
mer at Is cents. In that way the
public is forced to pay price on an
article, that under ordinary condi-
lions would not be within one-third
of what is asked at present.

WAUSAU TO BE IN THE WIS.
ILL. BASE BALL LEAGUE.

At meeting of local enthusiasts OF
the National game-base ball, held IN
the court house last Friday evening,
it was decided to purchase the fran
chise of the Fond du Lac base ball
team of the Wisconsin league, the
consideration being $S00.00 The
meeting was well attended by fans as
well as representative business men,
and it was shown that the interest
for base ball had not altogether died
out here in Wausau. The report had
been published in the newspapers OF
Milwaukee and other cities, who are
in the WI. league, for the past two
months or more, that the Fond du
Lac franchise was for sale and that
Wausau would be the one city, that
could have it for the asking. But
not until Friday was there anything
certain about Wausau being repre-
scented in that league.
A committee of five, the members
of which are Frank Z. Regner, }. 4.
Komers, E. C. Kretlow, w. A. Paff
and j. B. Coleman, was appointed to
make arrangements for permanent
organization, and the committee will
report alta meeting to be held at the
court house this evening.
An option has been taken on the
Fond du Lac franchise, and it is ex-
pected that enough money can be
raised by subscriptions within few
weeks to permanently close the deal.
Subscription lists will be out in a
few days and chance given to all
those who want to see league ball
played here, to show how strong their
feelings toward that end are.

AN ERROR.
The Wisconsin Telephone Company
Will Continue Its Connections With
the Local Company.

In an article in last evenings Rec
Iord-Herald it would appear that the
Wausau Telephone Co. was going to
discontinue giving connection to the
Wisconsin Telephone Co.'s long dis
lance lines unless satisfactory arrange
ments can be made for increased COM
pensation for handling its business,
The paper quotes Nathan Heinemann,
president of the company, for its
authority in this matter. Mr.. Heine-
mann gave out no such statement
and it was probably a rumor picked
up and not SubStantiated. At no
time has such an action been con-
templated. There have been negotia-
tions pending for some time between
the two companies and the Wisconsin
company has finally concluded to do
it's own long distance work, putting
in its own operators when the new
building is ready for occupancy, under
conditions perfectly satisfactory to
the Wausau company.

PARTIAL PAYMENTS
FOR PENSIONERS
Disrtict Fire and Police Funds Large
Enough for December
Distribution.

Chances are good that the District be-
gins its new year by being able only to
make partial payments TO pensioners of
the police and fire departments, accord
ing to estimates of the auditors Office
unless Congress brings back enough
Christmas spirit to pass some measure
providing for the police and fremen's re-
lief fund. 49,
Owing to a recent Increase in Police
Court fines, II is believed that payment
in full will be made for the month of
December. In january, however, it will
become necessary to return to a pro rata
reduction of the pension envelopes. and
many of the pensioners, who are almost
destitute without their government sti-
ponds, can suffer the consequences of the
failure by Congress to put the relief
fund upon a fixed, sensible basis.
At the end of the fiscal year 1872 the
District owed its pensioners almost So
COO, besides s15.OOO carried over from the
year before, making total Indebtedness
OF $4,000.
A bill now pending before Congress pro-
Vides that pensions be paid from District
revenues, which would insure full and
regular payments.
