The Y. NJ. G. A. circus Of last Fri
day evening was one of the most in
terestleg and most successful affairs
ever attempted by the Y. A good
crowd was IN attendance and some
thing new was going on. On entering
the building one might visit Rudora
and there have his fortune told or
perhaps visit another side show where
card tricks were speciality.
The trained elephant, the giraffe,
the act entitled "Don Mosquito, I"
were all very entertaining. Mark
Scholfeld, acting as Prof. Schoben-
field, made great hit with the audi
nee with his troupe of trained horses.
julie Young, who, since he gradu-
ated from the local high school year
ago. has been on the stage, sang sew
eral very pleasing numbers. They
were popular songs. The music Of
the circus was supplied by st. Paul's

The Marathon Co. Training School
for Teachers has begun its annual
tour of visiting the manufacturing
plants of the city. Last Friday it
visited the Cereal Mills company's
plant and was received cordially. The
various processes of manufacture were
explained by those in charge. 1t has
been the policy of the management of
the school to present to the pupils
processes of manufacture in the
various lines represented here. Book

called practical" knowledge is weak.

At the preliminary examination of
Frank Martell in municipal court
yesterday, on a charge of killing
Charles Schroeder, near .Manville, on
the Sd inst, the defendant was held
for trial at the next regular term of
the circuit court. An attempt was
made by the defendants counsel that
the defendant be discharged on the
grounds that the crime of murder at
the examination had not been proven
Which was overruled by Judge Mar
chetti, stating that it had been
shown that man had been killed;
that it was probable the defendant
had committed the act and that
should the court decide whether or
not it was murder or self-defense, ii
would be invading the province of a
jury. Hence he is being held at the
county Jail until his appearance be-
fore Judge Reid at the May term. His
bail was fixed later in the day at
$500 which he is endeavoring &c
secure.

Y. N. c. A. DEMONSTRATION.

The annual demonstration of the
Y. NJ. G. A. physical department was
held ar the Y last Friday evening.
A most interesting program in which
all gymnasium classes from the prep's
to the mems classes participated, had
been planned by Russell Starke, ply
steal director. The program consisted
of dances, calisthenics, games. Two
picked teams of men played volley
ball.
The remarkable work being accom-
plished by the physical department
was splendidly shown in the demon
stration. A wonderful attendance at
all gymnasium classes has been re-
corded during the past winter and,
since the opening Of the new y, no
more successful season has been en-
joyed by this department; but the
success is due TO the work Of the phy-

REPORT ON OUR CITY WATER.

The following report was submitted
to the Rotary Club of Wausau at a
meeting held at the Wausau Club on
the 9Th of April:
WAUsAU, WIS, April 5, 1915.
THE ROTARY CLUB OF WAUsAU.
Gentlemen: Your committee on the
water works system of this city, re-
spectfully report as follows:
1st.-Water supply is poor. Remedy:
Deep wells, or more shallow wells
more widely separated and cut out
old well entirely. In either event
build reservoirs Oh east and west side
Of river.
2nd.-Lack of circulation feeders
and supply pipes. Remedy: Inter
cepting mains of suitable size, includ-
ing cross feeds on all dead ends and
lines across river, and fixing in perma-
nent manner, present lines across
river.
3rd.-Poor nydrant equip m en- t..
Remedy: Larger supply pipe to n.y.
drantS and larger hydrants in the
congested business, residence and
manufacturing districts, and extra
hydrantS in centers of large blocks.
4th.-Cost of operation excessive as
compared with other cities. Remedy ::
Simplify power plant. Reduce sue
tion lift to minimum.
5th.-Waste of water. Remedy ::
Pure water supply will stop necessity
of frequent and copious flushing of
mains.
Installation of meters will stop SER
vice waste and insure revenue for all
water used. A proper sliding scale of
meter rates, with minimum service
charge on g. services should be
adopted.
Recommendations: Obtain services
of a competent hydraulic engineer
who is an authority on water works,
to go over the situation and follow
his recommendations as rapidly as
possible.
Respectfully submitted,

late bulletin prepared by the depart
ment Of agriculture, valuable infor-
nation is given on the best means Of

DEATH OF MRS. KREUTzER, SIR.


Mrs. Andrew Kreutzer, Sr., passed
to her eternal rest on Tuesday last,
April 6, 1915, in the village of Athens,
at the home of her son, George. Mrs.
Kreutzer had spent considerable OF
her life for the past five years at the
home of her son, A. L. Kreutzer, and
was known and beloved by large
number of our citizens. About a
year ago, in this city, she was SER
iously i'll for many weeks, caused
from the shock following the sudden
death of her son, DR.. Charles Kreutzer
of Milwaukee. From this she
did not fully recover. Later, she
went to Athens, and although able
to be about up to within short time
before her death, she grew percepti-
bly, weaker until she sank peacefully
to sleep.
Mrs. Caroline Houshalder Kreutzer
was born in Alsace-L orraine, Germany,
in November, 1886, and came to this
country with her parents in 1S49,
when young girl and they went d.
rectly to Granville, Wis, Washing
ton county, where she was united in
marriage to Andrew Kreutzer, ST.,
in 1856. They resided on a farm
near that village until 1865 when
they went to Grafton, Wis, where
Mr.. Kreutzer had purchased a grist
mill; this he operated until 1878,
when he came with his family to
Athens in this county and they were
among the first inhabitants of that
village. Mr.. Kreutzer came at that
time to superintend the building of a
saw mill for Reitbrock & Halsey of
Milwaukee and he brought about
thirty-fiye young men of Grafton
with him. He was killed in an ex-
plosion of dynamite at Athens in 1896
During Mrs. Kreutzer's active life
in that village her energies were de-
voted to her family, to the sick and
to the unfortunate. 1t was her tire
less efforts to make others happy and
to relieve suffering wherever she
found it and her beautiful Christian
character, that made her so beloved
and deeply mourned.
After the death of her husband she
went to Cedarburg, Wis, to make a
home for her sons, DR.. Charles, DIR.
Alfred and Oscar Kreutzer. This
home was broken up when DIR. Al
fred Kreutzer vent to Europe to con-
tinue his study of medicine, and Mrs.
Kreutzer came to divide her time
with her sons in this city and at
Athens.
To her were born twelve children,
nine of whom survive: Mrs. n.
Ahlers, Grafton, Wis; Mrs. Henry
Degner, George, John and Henry
Kreutzer of Athens; Mrs. w r. Will
son of Chicago; DR.. Alfred and Oscar
Kreutzer of Milwaukee and A. L.
Kreutzer of this city.
The funeral services took place
from the Lutheran church at Athens,
Friday afternoon at two O'Clock,
Rev. o. Neuman, pastor, officiating.
The relatives and number of friends
of this city we're in attendance.

ANNUAL MEETING OF PRESBY.
TERRAIN CONGREGATION.

The congregation of the First Pres
byterian church held it's annual meet
ing on last Thursday evening in the
church auditorium, good represen-
tation being present. This is an i'm
pOrtant event of the year when a
brief but graphic review of the past
twelve months of the church's his
tory is placed before the members by
the reports of its various organiza-
tions-"facts and figures show
ing some results of the efforts and CO.
operation of those connected with the
congregation as recorded and now put
in writing, all, it is hoped, with the
highest aims in view at all times.
The reports should be heard to be full
ly appreciated and those present ex-
press their appreciation heartily.
The aid societies were granted the
first hearing and each in its place of
work showed themselves to be of
great assistance to the church at
larg e in every way in keeping up and
in proving the properties as well as in
social and charitable directions.
The Ladies' Missionary society re-
presents the women of the whole con-
gregation in it's efforts and showed
that much interest is being taken in
mission enterprises of the church the
world over, as we'll as in our city and
state. The largest single gift for a
foreign mission enterprise in the his
tory of this church was reported as
made through this society during the
past year.
Much work for and by the young
people through the Sunday schools,
young peoples societies, boy scouts,
recreation rooms, ETC., was shown and
the still greater opportunities were
touched upon.
Reports made by the church treasur-
er showed. that its finances are well
taken care of by the congregation, af-
ter considering the assets and liabili-
ties the year closing practically even
with small balance on hand, as was
the case in the other funds re-
ported on.
A substantial gain in membership
was reported.
Messrs. George Pfeiffer, j. E. George
and G. III. Hooker were elected as
trustees for three years.
Rev. Donald S. West, associated
pastor, is caring well for the church
since the departure of Rev. j. NJ. Duer
and the congregation is working to-
gether with him in carrying on its
large interests pending the choice of
a successor to Mr.. Duer which will be
made it is expected during the next
Two weeks.
The church is represented at the
spring meetings at Neenah this week,
Tuesday and Wednesday, by Elder
| Brayton E. Smith and Rev. ID. S.
West, delegates to Winnebago Presby-
terry, and by several OF the women Of
the congregation 20 the Presbyterian
/ society.

WATER RIGHTS SOLD.

The Cereal Mills Co. of this city
has sold to the Wausau Street Rail.
road company its water rights, and
will in future operate its plant by
electricity. This power has been a
bone of contention for many years,
for the reason that it had not been
determined to just what amount OF
water it was entitled. As matters
stand now the Wausau Street Rail-
road company owns all of the water
power in the city, and will no doubt
be able to put in improvements and
extend its lines and business in a
manner never before dreamed of. The
site Of the grist mill at the head of
Clarke's island was sold to DIR. Isaac
f. Thayer in 1858, who built the first
grist mill in Wausau on the same.
DR.. Thayer came here as early as 1850,
and practiced medicine here for many
years. He sold the property to n. b.
Thayer, who came here with his fam
lily in 1862. Later, he sold an interest
to M. d. Corey. The first mill was
burned down in 1860, and was rebuilt.
The property has gone through sew
eral ownerships and finally came into
the hands of H. E. McEachron, who
formed a stock company. Mr. Nc
Eachron sold his interests last year,
and the name has since been changed
to the Cereal Mills company.
The water powers in Wausau have
a history in themselves and to them
our city owes it's existence. Wausau
would not have been thought of were
it not for its great water power.
George Stevens, the man whom the
city of Stevens Point was named
after, in writing from Wausau, Sept.
18th, 1889, said of the Wausau power:
at has decidedly the best mill sites |
ever saw or heard of in the Union"
At that time, working with st. Louis
capitalists, Mr.. Stevens was building
the Stewart mill, and had about COM
pleted the guard lock and was to build
the dam from the Plumer to the Clarke
island, and also the dam across the
main river above the falls. Just
think of it, when you take walk
over to the falls, the dam which
George Stevens constructed there in
1889, is still there doing business just
the same as it did nearly 50 years ago.
Truly, those old New Englanders
knew how to build for permanency.
A few years ago a dam which had
been built in 1843, on Little Rib by
B. Single, was torn out ard the
pine timber of which it was built,
being covered by water at all times,
was as sound as the day on which it
was cut,

at which time it would be decided
whether or not steps would be taken
to investigate.
