City Clerk r. J. Schatz, Thursday
issued a license to Charles Marquardt

A few days ago horse collar was
received by parcel post through the
Merrill post office. Wednesday morn
ing a roast chicken by the same
medium passed through the Wausau
Office. The parcel was somewhat di-
lapidated but the Enclosure was intact,
the whole being delivered to the
respective consignee in proper form.
The late cold snap hereabouts and
in the logging woods stimulated bust
ness to a remarkable degree, especi-
ally in some farmers circles, who
boosted stove wood from $3.50 cord
to S7.00, and they seemed to have no
conjunction at selling it at that
figure either. They believe in hoard
ing dollars when the weather stings.
They are wise!
The Boys club of the Baptist church
gave minstrel entertainment at the

The proposed new nickel-schedule
for Feb. IL has been postponed in
definitely by the u. S. treasury de-
partment because of a protest filed
by slot machine interests. Manufac-
turers complained of it that just as
they had perfected chewing gum and
other machines to refuse counterfeit
nickels, 'slugs," ETC., designed fol-
place in circulation scent piece,
the design of which would practically
nullify their inventions.
Judge Louis Marchetti, of Wausau,
has undertaken the task of writing a
history. He has been resident of
this county for over forty-five years
is a Shrewd observer of men and
things, his life has brought him into
contact with all sorts of people and
he has known mill and logging camp
life in early days long before he com.

For the first time in the history OF
the state it will be impossible for any
man to vote in the coming spring
election unless he is full citizen.
In the November election of 1912 a
man with first papers could vote, but
beginning Dec. l, 1912, law went in
to effect making any man ineligible
to vote who is not full citizen of
this country. The new law will make
it impossible for number, to cast
their ballots in April, this year.
Every voter in Wausau will be re-
gistered this year, a new state law
passed at the last session of the state
legislature making it obligatory upon
every voter to register. Accordingly
four registration days have been pro-
y'ded, the first one of which will be
on March 10, March IL and March Is
will be registration days also, the
latter being primary election day.
One week later o. one week prior to
the spring election, which this year
falls on April ], there will be anothe
registration day, making four In all.
1t would be well for candidates for
county and municipal offices this
spring to read the corrupt practices
act of Wisconsin, which is like that of
Minnesota. and hold themselves with
in its restrictions. The Wisconsin
Law also prohibits in general terms
the giving away of cigars or drinks or
anything of value as an inducement
to vote for a candidate; prohibits
spending money for hired solicitors
and poll workers, and also prohibits
candidates from hiring teams for use
at the polls. The law states Just what
money can be spent for, and if any
candidate violates its provisions he is
rendered ineligible TO hold the office
for which he may have been elected.
