A FIRE AND A BAD ACCIDENT.

About 700 O'Clock this morning fire
broke out In the Farmers Produce
company's warehouse, located at the
east end of Kickbusch street, Nos. /,
2 and 3 of the fire department quickly
responded and soon had the fire I'M
der control. In the building there
were stored II tons of baled hay,
about 10 barrels of flour, % barrels
of salt belonging to the company and
several bags of land plaster owned by
w. A. Patf. The building was badly
burned and the stock was more or less
damaged by fire and water. The
building was insured for 81 900. There
was no insurance on the stock. The
loss on stock is about S400.
About the time the fire alarm
was sounded Harry Haveron, driver
of the hook and ladder wagon No. /,
while going afoot to his breakfast,
was oyertaken by No. hose wagon,
on its way TO the fire, failing to grasp
on he was thrown some distance
split open his right foot, broke the
third toe On the same foot, had rib
cracked on his right side and was
otherwise badly bruised and shaken
up. At present he is getting along

thing in the line of plays he had and
piled up 81 points, making the final

second half was more open, Meyer
made two brilliant runs of 30 yards

Cotter and Heldt gained most con-
sistently for Merrill. The local team
is ready now for bigger game. Grand
Rapids, Stevens Point, Amigo and
Rhinelander admit Merrill's superior
ity on the gridiron and would rather
not play Merrill until they have built
up better teams. Up to the present
time Merrill has scored 154 points to
their opponents 0.
There will be no practice tonight,
but beginning tomorrow night the
team will start several new plays to
spring ON Eau Claire, Oct. %.
Wausau second team 8, Merrill
second team 0. The second team
composed largely of Freshmen and
lack of experience met defeat at the
hands CT much heavier aggregation.
The second team has developed some

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Ada Clement, who graduated
from the Wausau high school in June,
entered the Training school Monday
morning.
About siyty-two students from the
Training school, together with five
alumni boys and the faculty went to
Rib mountain on Saturday. Along
with the pleasures of the trip they
learned something of the formation
and decomposition of the rocks,
noticed the ripple marks on the rocks
away at the top of the mountain,
noticed the broad valleys, mute wit
neSses of the work of the rivers In the
transportation of soil, also the mean
ders of the Big Rib in the valley be-
low, and last but not least, the en-
trancing beauty Of the autumn fol-
iage. Seventy students enjoyed
sumptuous repast at 1890, consisting
of potatoes, meat, sandwiches and
other substantials. The tables were
beautifully decorated with autumn
fruits.
Last Friday Mr.. Wells, accompanied
by four Training school students, Wis
tied schools in the towns of Stettin,
Berlin and Maine. Five schools
taught by our alumni were seen. In
the main, the work was good and
some was excellent. One school was
below the average. The attendance
was light and the pupils were small.
Three had only sixteen each. Some
children were kept out to pick up
potatoes or help in other work. One
teacher said she did not expect any
older pupils later. The school houses
were in good condition and well
equipped. School yards are generally
too small and not well cared for.
There is scant room for Fairgrounds
and they are not suitably prepared
for play. Proper play is not only nee
essary for physical development bct
for progress in study. The disheart-
ening feature is the lack of interest
in education. Marathon county has
large investment in its school plant
but il makes comparatively little use
of it. 1t is great wrong to a child
! to be compelled to go through life
with only the rudiments of an educar
ton. A moderately good education
gives man tremendous advantage

WATER FROM THE WELL.

Considerable has been said about
taking water from the old well the
past summer. 1t was told in such a
way that would appear that our
water commissioners had approved
of such a ching; this is not SO. The
fact is that the floods the past sum-
mer have brought about conditions
that has made it impossible to do
any differently than has been done.
AT the time of the high water in
July water was pumped into the
mains at Curtis & Yale factory and
by the steam fire engine. The old
we'll was filled clear to the top
By water from the river run
ming into it. In fixing up the foun-
dationS for the new pump, it was
necessary to lower the water in the
old well and in trying to force the
water from it into the river, some
passed into the mains. The fact is
when the new pump is in, the mains
which were broken by the floods are
mended, and the system in good con-
dition there viii be no trouble but
what the new wells will be adequate
to supply the city. The other day a
fourteen inch main was opened near
the tannary which en- ptied the sys-
tenn. The swiftneSs of the water
passing through the mains rolled up
the water badly and it was sometime
before il became settled. of course,
the ''old well'' came in IT. a scoring
