DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
| The Edenhoefer House on Fulton Street
! Badly Damaged This Afternoon.

This afternoon at one O'Clock fire
was discovered in the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Edenhoefer, on
Fulton street near the cold-Storage
building of the kiefer Produce Com
pany. The fire caught in the attic
near the main chimney and the roof
was in a blaze before the fire depart
ments could turn on the water. The
house is large one and the tire
spread through it with great rapidlty
and before it could be gotten under
control the roof, attic and second
floor were practically destroyed.
Three of the fire companies respond
ed, and had a half dozen streams
playing in very short order, and it
was owing TO the excellent work of
our tiremen that large confiagration
was averted Had the wind been
blowing a gale as it did on Sunday
afternoon from the northwest, the
fight would have been much more
difficult one. AS iG was there was
very little wind and it was from the
southeast.
There were three families in the
building: Those of Joseph Edenhoefsr,
Fred BraatZ and VIM. WeiS. There
was an insurance of 81, 500 on the
building. The furniture and house
hold goods were mostly saved upon
which there was an insurance carried.
The fire drew out a large crowd and
considerable excitement prevailed for
a time.

as they entered the house they hit
him with club which killed him
but did not succeed in finding his
money. His savings were found after
wards in the mattress upon which he
slept and amounted to 1884 The
killing stirred up the population of
Buffalo county, and the state offered
a reward of $500 for information
which would lead to the arrest and
conviction of the murderers. SuSpic-
ion was attached TO a gang of toughs
who passed through the village few
days before and who were also sus-
pected Of having been members of the
same gang that had attacked and

ALL STAR PERFORMANCE.

When the Sheehan English Opera
company comes to the Grand Opera
House on Friday, Jan. Is, We will have
an opportunity such as is rarely
afforded any but the largest cities,
that of hearing company OF such
famous artists as Joseph f. Sheehan,
Americas greatest tenor, Madame
Ant0ihette LeBrun, one of the best
known sopranos on the American
stage. Madame Lydia Sturteyant
the famous French contralto, Harold
j. Gels, baritone with reputation
in this country and Europe, etc.
The performance consists of the
most interesting and beautiful acts
III Trovatore" Bohemian Girl" and
Martha. The beauty of the per-
Torrance lies in the fact that all the
tiresome parts of the operas are elm
mated and the real vital parts of each,
which are presented make perform
ance, which is interesting alike to
music lovers and the average theatre
goer.
The wonderful tower scene of 'sIl
Trovatore' is given complete, with
the famous Misereree, as is also the
Dungeon scene of 'Tl Trovatore. 4"
From THE Bohemian Girl" it gives
all of the gems of the opera; 81
Dreamt [ Dwelt In Marble Halls
"Then You'll Remember Me" bliss
Forever Past" etc. The entire second
act of 'Martha," the most beautiful
of the entire opera is given complete,
with its "Last Rose of Summer" it's
Spinning Wheel" Quartet, and beau
tiful Goodnight Quartet. The en-
tire performance is one of unusual
excellence and far ahead of anything
ever attempted in this country in
English opera.

FARMERS EASTERN
TELEPHONE CO.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the WauSau Eastern Telephone COM
pany was held in the court house on
Saturday afternoons and there were
about thirty present. Reports OF the
secretary and treasurer were read,
and considerable talk INDUCED in as
to the future prospects Of the COM
pany. Those of the farmers who now
have telephones in their farm homes
are enthusiastic, lover the new condi-
ton of things and those who have not,
as yet, secured the service are anxious
for the time TO come when they can,
which will be next season. Work
will begin as soon as the frost Is out
of the ground and lines run TO maay
of the farmers homes in the eastern
part of the county. This line is to
take in some twenty miles east of
the city and run as far north as
Heights and south along the town
line road. When completed it is pro-
posed to have it one of the most CON-
pleted farmers lines in the state.
Much enthusiasm was eyinced anC a
decidedly progressive spirit mal,i-
| tested The same kind of a spirit
that has made so many of the enter
prises of the city and county success
| full.
All those connected on this line c;ln
talk with any one in Wausau, and as
often as they please for the Same
price monthly, as is charged by the
WauSau Telephone company for resi-
dence phones. They are party lines,
a half dozen or more farm homes he
| ing placed on each line. This also
has its advantages. as those on the
lines can talk with each other with
| out calling up the central Office in
the city. The farmer having Iele-
phone service will soon be able to
talk TO any part of the county AT a
nominal price.

UNION ORGANIZED.
Interesting Meeting at Baptist Church
Meetings Of Young Peoples Unions
Will Be Held Every Eight Weeks
E. w. Brandenburg Leader Sunday
Evening.

A union meeting of the Young
Peoples societies of this city was
held last Sunday evening at the
Baptist church The church was
filled with the young people and
other interested ones of our city. 1t
was agreed upon by all that a union
of all young peoples societies of this
city should be effected and it was
suggested that meetings of the same
be held every two months. A COM
mittee was selected TO be com.
posed of the presidents of the various
unions and this to meet at some time
in the near future for the purpose of
furthering the federation.
After songs and beautiful duet
by Mrs. Briggs and Mrs. Ogden, E.
w. Brandenburg lead the meeting
with talk on the Purpose, Persis-
tency and Power in prayer. Follow
ing this the first meeting of the new
ly organized union was ended.
This is one big step toward union
of churches. Though it may seem
far from this, christian union can
not but help to benefit everyone who
attends and the larger the meetings
the more impressed are those who at
tend, with the teachings of Christ as
applied to every day life. If every
one enters into this union as all should
this first step will prove big success
and a great benefit to our young peo-
pie.

KILLS MADISON TEACHER.

Last Friday, John G. Spooner of
Madison, shot and killed Miss Emily
Mcconnell and then turned the re-
volver upon himself, inficting injuries
from which he died few hours
later. The murderer was a nephew
of ex-senator John c. Spooner, and a
son of Roger Spooner, who now re-
sides at Benidji, Mimi. He and Miss
Mcconnell had been sciloolRates in
childhood and though married man.
he became very much infatuated with
her and because she would have MOTH
ing to do with him it unbalanced his
mind, so it seems.
The PILoT gives the details of this
tragedy, because Roger Spooner, the
father, was formerly Wausau citi-
izen, coming here in 1874. In the
spring of 1876 he was married and
brought his wife here. They resided
IN the old Stafford house which stood
on the corner of Main and jefferson
streets. They lived here less than a
year after their marriage, then moved
TO Madison. Miss Mcconnell had a
number of acquaintance in Wausau,
who knew her as a worthy and charm
ing young lady, and were shocked at
the terrible tragedy.
