BOXING BOUTS ENJOYED.

The boxing tournament held under
the auspices Of the Wausau Athletic
association at the Coliseum, Thursday
evening, proved to be another very en-
tertaining evening for the local sports
In the preliminary bout, Walter Stern
berg of this city boxed six fast rounds
with Willie Schuler, also of this city,
the decision being a draw. The semi
windup was between Nick Salzman of
this city and Tommy Kreig of Marsh
field, who were scheduled to go ten
rounds at $50 pounds. Unluckily the
Marshfield boy caught the pride of
the west side with a severe punch
in the stomach, producing a so-called
Knockout, in the third round. This
stopped the bout of course, for which
many spectators were sorry, as the
boys were giving very fine exhibition
up TO the time things happened. The
third and main bout between Jack
Critic and Jimmy Murphy, both of
Chicago, went the limited ten. rounds
with honors even at the time of fin
ish. 1t is claimed by some of the
sports that this was very scientific
exhibition. There has so far been no
rowdyism shown at any of the exhibit
tions, and every bout held strictly un-
der the rnles of the state law. Quite
large crowd attended the exhibition.

DO NOT WANT COMMISSION
Wausau People Sat Down Upon the
Proposition Very Emphatically Last
Tuesday. The "Gnod Old Way" Seem
eth Better.

Last Tuesday was hard shedding for
the commission form of government
in Wausau The most ardent sup
porters of the commission plan ac-
knowledged defeat before election
day, the question as to The majority
being the only one uppermost.
This question was answered on Tues
day evening when the returns showed
a vote of 20O9 against the Commission
plan and 738 in its favor, which means
that large majority of our people
are fully satisfied with the conditions
as they exist and the 738 will, of
course quietly take their medicine
and watch developments. tits Amer
lean to cheerfully acquiesce to the
peoples will, no matter what may be
the question at issue. 1t is also Ameri
can to fight for ones principles
and those favoring the Commission
will continue to bring out the ex-
cellent points of the Commission
Form of Government as opportunity
may offer. Wausau's vote was as

DENY DEATH BY WOLF
PACK.
Story That Animals Killed Hunter
Near Eagle River Called False.

Believing that stories of wolves kill
ing people in northern Wisconsin are
prejudicial to the interests of that
section of the state, members of the
Wisconsin Advancement association
are offering $50 for any well authenti-
Gated case of man or woman being
killed by wolves in this state in the
past twenty years.
The offer is made apropos of dis
patch in various papers of recent date
that the partially-deyoured remains
of an unknown hunter had been found
in the woods near Eagle River, Wis,
giving evidence of having been at
tackled by wolves. 1t was stated that
the bodies of four wolves was found
near by.
A resident of the northern part of
the state declares that such stories
"Scare many intended settlers away
from northern Wisconsin; they have
no desire to be eaten up by wolves.
It's not so much the men, but it's
the women who believe this and they
decide" Continuing, he says:
"Now, there was no unknown hunt
er or his two dogs injured by wolves
1T or near Eagle River this winter or
any other winter, nor has there been
a man or woman injured by a wolf or
wolves in any part of Wisconsin in
the last twenty-five years, if ever.
"If hunter lay dead in the woods,
no wolf would go near him. The
wolf is a timid and suspicious animal
and with the most attractive bait
none but the few experts can get a
starving wolf to touch food that has
been handled by man. Many land
hunters have travelled the woods of
Wisconsin for twenty years and never
have seen one, and few are ever seen.
We stand ready to pay $40 for any
well authenticated case of any man
or women being killed by wolves in
this state in the last twenty years"

SEVERE STORMS.

The weather man gave the cities of
Milwaukee, Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and all the couptry about
and between those cities, a blizzard
of the most pronounced stripe last
Wednesday. The storm had been rag
ing down in Texas and in bordering
states. The wind blew gale Of
nearly forty miles an hour in Mil
waukee and fifty-two miles an hour
in Chicago. Large drifts formed,
street car service was badly impaired,
railroads throughout the southern
part of the state were badly tied up
in both passenger and freight service.
The same conditions existed in Chi
cago. There was no snow up in this
section of the country. Dark clouds
rolled up on Wednesday afternoon a
little snow fell and many believed
that we were in for big storm but it
seems this city was out on the outer
edge.

WISCONSIN'S FIRST ANNUAL
ROAD SCHOOL.

The first annual road school held in
Madison, February 12-16, was a great
success. Over two hundred delegates,
county highway commissioners, pur-
chasing committees, and citizens of
the state were in attendance, and the
published program was carried out to
the letter. Some things that charac-
terized this gathering are deserving Of
special mention.
First The five days session revealed
the fact that the entire state is in
terested in the question of good roads,
and the new state aid law. Fifty-four
counties were represented at this
gathering, which is a fore-runner of a
new era in road construction in Wis
consin.
Second. The personnel, earnestness
and general intelligence of the county
highway commissioners, and men ap-
pointed to supervise the work for the
counties, impressed everyone. These
men attended the meetings faithfully
each day, and the discussions and
questions asked, displayed willing
ness to learn the best and most scien-
tiic methods of road building.
Third. A better understanding of
the work being undertaken under the
new law. If anyone came with preju-
dice, it was dispelled before the ses-
sions were through. Everyone went
away impressed with the greatness and
the equity of the project undertaken.
Fourth. 1t afforded an excellent
opportunity for the Wisconsin High
way Commission and its staff to meet
the men who will direct the work in
the state this year. The delegates re-
ceived a great deal of information
about the work of road building and
financing, not only from the regular
program, but through the exchange OF
ideas in personal intercourse with the
road commissioners from other coun-
ties, and with members of the engi-
neering force of the Highway Commits
sion.
The first road school was great
success, and the entire sessions were
charactized by the earnestness, cordi-
ality, and good-fellowship with which
various phases of the big work under
the new law were discussed.

There were other cities that turned
down the Commission Plan last Tues
day, as the following table will show

As will be seen only Portage or the
above list coming out victorious.
Seventeen cities in Wisconsin have
now voted on the questioned adopting
board rule OF this number, eight
have adopted the new form. They
are: Superior, Oshkosh, Eau Claire,
Appleton, Janesyille, Portage, Me-
nomonie and Rice Lake. Nine cities
have rejected it. They are Madison,
Wausau, Ashland, Merrill, Waukesha,
Sparta, Antigo, Grand Rapids and
New London.
According to the returns, more
voters have registered for the Com
mission Form of Government than
against it. The question will be
voted on soon in two cities, Fond du
Lac and Platteville.
From the returns it would seem
that cities, known particularly for
their manufacturing, favor the new
form of government, while former
lumber towns stick to the old system.
