WORK COMPLETED.
Wausau Telephone Company Runs a
Cable to Schofield to Better
The Service

Last Saturday the Wausau Tele-
phone company's crew of linemen
practically completed the task OF
stringing the new cable on Grand Ave.
south to the bridge in Schofield.
This cable will double the company's
line capacity in this section of the
city and adjacent territory as well as
assuring the patrons service free
from the interruptions incident to
long open wire line, such as these lines
have always been. In order to get
this double capacity it was found adj
visable to lay the cables underground
on Fifth street to Division street,
thence on Division street to Grand
Ave. and south on Grand Ave. to
Pluner ST. With this addition to the
underground system, the Wausau
Telephone company now has over
$500 trench feet of underground con
duit, containing over $4,000 duct feet
of conduit; in which have been placed
over 5000 feet of 400 pair lead covered
cables. If one were at all curious
about such things they might see
that this means over twelve hundred
miles of copper wire in the under
ground cables alone, used to furnish
telephone service to the people of
Wausau and vicinity.

SECOND NUMBER.

Miss Edna Blanche Showater, COL
oratura-soprano, appeared last
Wednesday evening at the Univer-
sallst church, the second number of
the course of artists recitals given by
the Tuesday Musical club. Miss
Showalter presented well balanced
program with two splendid examples
of coloratura work-an aria from Yer
dis "Aidi'' and the Polonaise from
Mignon by Thomas, both brilliantly
rendered-then three French songs,
including one by De Busy, a Grieg
number, two by Schindle and three by
Florida dedicated to herself. The
artist here showed the diversity of
her talents by playing her own accom-
paniments to the last named group in
a most finished and artistic manner.
Unfortunately, Miss Showalter was
handicapped by a cold which came on
during the day and grew rapidly
worse as the evening advanced, MAX
ing it impossible for her to appear at
her best. The fact that she is pro-
tege of David Bispham and Walter
Damrosch substantiates any claim the
Tuesday Musical club may have made,
with respect to her place in the must
cal world. Miss Showalter was ably
supported at the piano by Mr.. A. H.
Arnake of the conservatory of music
at Appleton. Mr.. Arnake is proving
himself a rare accompanist, who has
a brilliant future before him.

to the pleasure of the evening. The
street cars will run frequently, which

A COMMUNICATION.
The Charity Ball and the Free Bed.

After careful consideration Char
ity ball was decided to be the most
practical channel through which to
seek the support of the Free Bed at
st. Mary's hospital, for another year.
The experience of the last two
years in maintaining such a bed has
so fully demonstrated to the ladies of
the hospital auxiliary, its needs and
usefulness, that they gladly ask the
people of Wausau to join with them
in continuing its support.
That the public may better under
stand this most worthy charity, this
explanation is offered:
The Free Bed was established for
persons in need of hospital service,
operative or otherwise, who have not
the means to pay for such service.
Any physician or other person know
ing OF such case, may apply To the
committee in charge Of this fund,
and if, upon investigation, the case Is
found worthy, the patient is sent at
once TO the hospital as charity of
those who have furnished the bed and
of the physician who attends the case.
Two or more cases may be cared for
at the same time If the necessity
arises.
The names of patients are not
public, but a mere recital Of the cases
by description, If that were wise,
would leave no doubt in any mind,
either Of the absolute need of this
charity or of its far reaching results.
1t is no breach of confidence to state
that nine cases have been cared for
from the proceeds of the Charity ball
of last year and that today there are
two cases in free beds, one a bright.
little boy for whose life the physician
and nurse in charge, are putting up
hard fight, who but for this charity
would In all probability not be living
today.
Certainly the economic saving TO
the community In health restored and
lives saved, far exceeds the cost.
The auxiliary needs at least $500 a
year to properly maistain this charity.
Through the Charity ball, all who
wish to do so, may join in the work.
The committees, by careful manage
ment, have eliminated all unnecessary
expense, so that every ticket sold,
means dollar for the work.
The pavilion filled to OVERLOOKING on
next Friday night, would be a fitting
expression of our city.
Contributions, other than by the
purchase Of tickets, will be very ac-
ceptable.
The object is most worthy and the
need ever present.
