and treasurer.
"What can we do to entertain our
boys and girls?" was a subject that
interested all and was thoroughly
talked over. 1t was agreed that there
should be more social life on the
farm and to this end it was proposed
that communities form clubs of var
ious kinds, organize bands, debating
societies and dancing clubs-anything
TO bring the people together and with
their mingling, drive away the dull
care Of every day life. The meeting
Saturday was the largest and NEST
interesting of any yet held here by
the Marathon county unions.-Marsh-

COLLEGE--HTGH SCHOOL BAN
QUIET

The college boys and the Wausau
high school seniors were royalty enter
tained last Wednesday evening at the
Y. M. G. A. at a banquet. There was
an exceedingly large number of stu
dents present-more than were really
expected. A delicious repast was
served followed by program, Supt.
S. B. Tobey acted as POSTMASTER for
the evening. The first speaker of the
occasion was Wells Turner who gave
a most interesting address on ''Why
a College Education" He gave several
reasons for believeing that a college
education is desirable, among them
that contact with people and that
education which is necessary to be a
business man is obtainable.
Mr.. Tobey next introduced Norman
Stone who has been attending Cornell,
to talk on "The Advantages of Big
University" Mr.. Stone said that the
competition was very keen at big
college and man had to put all he
had into his work in order to make
good. OF course he also said that he
believed man could get just as much
out of a small college if he went there
with the intention of getting all he
could. He also said that at large
University the student comes into
contact with men who are known and
that the larger school has these kind
of men, because they can afford to
employ them.
Rev. K. E. Pease of Singapore, China,
gave an address on the educational
systems of the country in which he
had been making his homo. The ad-
dress was very interesting.
Paul Tobey, who is attending La
Crosse Normal, talked upon, Work
ing Through Schools. He spoke of the
fact that the pupil working his way
through school is admired and that in
many places he is really looked for.
He said that when the student who
has been earning leaves college, he
has an appreciation of money and
knows how to use it.
Norton Kelly concluded the pro-
gram, talking on "The Advantages of
a Small College, Mr.. Kelly has been
attending Beloit. He said that there
is one noticeable thing about those who
are attending a small college and
that is their spirit. His talk was
very interesting and will perhaps aid
those seniors who are expecting to at
tend some college next year. A very
pleasant evening was enjoyed by all
present.

FAvORs SELLING.
Legislative Committee viii Recommend
Law Selling Lands Which are
Strictly Agricultural.

The legislative committee which
held a session at Rhinelander recentl,
resolved to recon- mend the sale Of
lands which have been set aside ol
purchased for forest reserve, in the
northern counties Of Wisconsin, thai
are strictly agricultural lands. This
Will mean no forest reserves as al
Wisconsin lands are good for agricul-
tural purposes. The committee will
recommend as follows:
1.-THE sale of all lands now used
for forestry which can be used foI
agriculture. To determine which
lands are suited for farming, having
soil survey made as soon as possible,
and sell the land only to settlers on
twenty years time at four per cent.
interest and not more than 100 acres
TO each settler. This will insure the
clearing up of the land when pur-
chased and not held for higher prices
as would be the case were spectators
to take hold of it.
ut further recommends that pur-
chases of land for forestry in Wiscon-
sin be discontinued.
THE committee would have con-
solidation of various state boards and
commissions with that of forestry.
They would consolidate the depart
ments of fish and game, fisheries,
state parks, state conservation, state
public lands and state forestry. 1t is
proposed to have three men on the
newly formed commission, one to be
an experienced fish and game man,
another to be a practical forester and
the third to be practical engineer"

INQUIRY BEING MADE.

Justice E. G. Fish empaneled a
coroner's Jury Saturday afternoon to
investigate the causes that contribut-.
ed to the terrible tragedy enacted
shortly after dinner Christmas day
when Joseph Robicheau met his
death in the village water tower
from exposure after falling through
the ice in the tower. The greater
part of the afternoon was taken up
in hearing the evidence of those who
were present when the accident oc-
cured, after Which the inquiry was
adjourned Until this afternoon. 1t
developed at the inquiry from the
testimony given that the water tank
was only about one quarter full; that
instructions had been given by the
village authorizes to keep the tank
practically full at all times; that the
electrical heaters were supposed to
have been working and that the tank
froze during the preceding night.
Testimony was given touching upon
the employment of Robicheau and
Rheinschmidt to do the work and as
to the manner in which it was to be
done.
Mr.. Wagner testified that his in
structions were not to go into the
tank without life line; that a line
had been provided for that purpose.
but seemingly was not used. f1e also
testified that he instructed them not
to go up to the tower until he re-
turned with more rope. Mr.. Rhein-
schmidt's testimony on this point
was somewhat contradictory, he
having testified that Robicheau
climbed up to the platform before ii
was decided that more rope was
necessary. The jury is in session
again this afternoon and will probab-
ly render their verdict before evening
I-Mosinee Times.
The Jury brought in a verdict tx
the effect that the late Joseph Robi.
cheau came to his death by exposure
in the water tank; that he went w
to the tank on his own initiative anC
did not take the necessary precautior
| when he went into the tank.

Y. II. c. A. NOTES.

The Christmas holidays are now
over and the Y feels that its under
takings have been carried on most
successfully. The College High School
Senior banquet was certainly a great
success and the activities on New
Years day afforded parents and
others interested in the work to see
what is being accomplished.
E. W. Brandenburg, our former
Boys Director and who is row at
tending the University of Wisconsin,
arrived in this city last Saturday and
spent the remaining days of his vaca-
tion here. On Sunday he addressed a
group of men and young men at the
Fireside meeting, taking for his topic
son Your Mark" He likened per-
sons life to race and made some
very useful and instructive hints as
to conduct and the way to make the
year success. Brandy is always
mighty welcome in Wausau; the
young men who aided him in his
work while he was here always have
had deep appreciation of what he
did for them and shall always re-
member him. May he have success
full year at Madison.
A skating rink has been started on
the Y campus. The rink will soon be
in good condition for skating.
The Camera club has been doing
great deal of work. The boys inter-
ested have been getting an exception
al amount of good from their connec-
tion, in that they have learned how
to print and develop pictures. The
club filled an order of postals during
the vacation. w. r. Boorman wished
to send out pictures of Brandy and
Daddy Wones to all intermediate
boys and the club did very good job.
Lloyd Wells is at the head, acting as
instructor. A dark room has been
arranged, supplied with excellent
consisting of printing
in which there are about
ten electric lights, developing trays
and a place to wash prints and mega
tives, through which water is contin-
ually flowing. The members of the
club can develop negatives and
prints here much cheaper than they
can at home and do their work
neater and better.

POPLAR BLUFF LIGHT
SUIT IS DISMISSED
Action to Impede City Plant stop
ped-OutcOme Now Up
To Federal Court.

Attorneys for w. f. Morrison, a
business man and property owner in
Poplar Bluff, yesterday withdrew a
suit that Morrison had filed against
the City of Poplar Bluff to stop the
issue of S75 900 bonds with which to
erect a municipal light and power
plant there, when the suit was called
to trial in the Court Of Common Pleas
before Judge Ranney.
Morrison'S suit is one brought
against the City of Poplar Bluff SIM
liar in character to one brought in
the L. S. District Court by James l..
Dalton. Dalton is a nonresident of
the State, so that this suit to break
up the municipal light and power plant
for Poplar Bluff was brought in the
Federal Court.
An agreement has been entered into
between the City Counselor at Poplar
Bluff and the attorneys for Morrison
to abide by the outcome, in Morrison'S
suit, of Dalton's suit before the St.
Louis Court of Appeals to which the
Dalton suit has been taken, following
an adverse decision before Judge Dyer
in the District Court.
Dalton's suit was tried in the Dis
trict Court at the November term, and
Judge Dyer ruled against Dalton's po-
sition in every point. At that time
the cases outcome was heralded as a
victory for municipal electricity at
Poplar Bluff.
Morrison names as defendants in
his suit the Mayor of Poplar Bluff,
Robert G. Felts, and the city council
men, Edward Patton, Roland Phillips,
George Begley Jr, John Macon, l. D.
DeLapp, DR.. A. w. Davidson, Ira
Bradley and Thomas Penney Jr., as
well as ]. R. Sutherlin & Co., the bond
ing company that had made arrange
ments to purchase the city's bond is
sue.
On March 2, 1914, the Mayor and
council passed and approved an ordi-
nance calling for special election on
tn e bond issue. The $4,000 bonds
were approved by the voters of the
town on March 10, 1914, by vote of
S62 to 225.
On March q, 1914, the petition of
Morrisons suit recites that the Mayor
and council met to pass bill on the
special election accepting the vote at
an illegal and unauthorized meeting.
The ordinance making the bond is
sue was passed Aug. 16, 1915. Ar
rangements were made for the sale of
the bonds and the procedure to pro-
cure the municipal light and power
plant was stopped by an injunction
after the check for the bonds had been
given to the city officials. The in
junction kept the banks from cashing
the draft.
