erty is not worth the amount which
the Bell company wants to pay for it.
81 have not made an investigation
of the telephone situation. But I am
for what the people want. If you
show me that the automatic phone is
regarded by telephone engineers and
experts outside of Bell influence as
superior to the Bell manual phone,
then I would go mighty slow before l
would ever consider authorizing the
sale of the automatic.
81 don't like the idea of telephone
competition. The people don't want
two phone systems in one town. I've
been in towns where when a bell
rang you'd have to pick up two or
three different receivers before you'd
get the right one. The best plan is
to have all the phone users of a city
on the same system of exchanges.
Understand me clearly, though I
am against phone competition be-
Heve there are possibilities in the au-
tomato situation. If it could be
proven that the city can operate an
automatic system and give users a
penny-a-caH service I would be for it.

has generally been the case that Def
had to deal with organizations in So
wards of the city and when he got
into the city hall everything was
promised away and he couldn't do
what the people want done.
81 will be free to handle the auto
matte telephone situation and give
the people whatever they want. Sew
eral propositions have been brought
to my attention about the proposed
merger of the automatic with the
Chicago Telephone Co. which con-
vince me that there is more behind
the whole of it than is generally
known. I would have engineers and
investigators make reports 1 could de-
pend on and 1 would act on that in
formation.
CAS- it looks to me now, it is not a
fair deal to the people of Chicago to
permit the sale of the automatic sys-
TEN to the Chicago Telephone Co. at
price of 100000 or $6,OOO,OOO,
that price to be added to the capital
izatiOn of the Chicago Telephone Co.,
and the interest charges taken from

rates, poorer service and reduced
amounts in the 8 per cent of gross
profits paid the city. From what

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

Last Wednesday morning at Merrill
Mrs. Roy @. Hoffman, bride of only
a few months, was burned to a crisp
by her clothing catching fire. Mr..
Hoffman had built a fire at five
o'clock a. M, and went back to bed,
his wife arose fifteen minutes after
wards to prepare breakfast and a
moment afterwards her cries for help
brought her husband to the kitchen
Her clothes were all ablaZe and he
grabbed a comforter and wrapped it
about her, endeavoring to smother
the flames. He had no sooner done
this than can of kerosene exploded.

and it Immediately commenced to
burn with great fury. With assist
ance the fire was extinguished, but
not before death had claimed it's
victim. 1t is thought that Mrs.
Hoffman had poured oil on the fire TO
revive it. Her mother had broken
her arm few days before and the
daughter was arranging to spend the
day with her assisting in the house

The fair was held on the same
grounds, which, of course were not in
the shape and condition as at the
present time, but the people fully en-
jOyed themselves in q somewhat
humber way. There were many dis
plays, among them Indian relics and
relies historical of the very early
pioneer times, which would have been
intensely interesting at this date.
The display from the farms of our
county was fine, and for amuSementS
there was chiefly horse racing, mostly
running, as trotting horses we're very
SLOW in those days. And then run
ming, jumping and trapese work was
the sport for the boys. many of whom
are among the 'Old men" today.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1881.
The Rev. Jacob Patch of Stevens
Point preached two excellent and
quaint sermons at the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath.
The excursion to Oshkosh of the
business men of this city, which was
to have taken place on the 28th, has
been postponed for the present owing
to unsettled weather.
G. H. Mueller has been elected to
the captaincy of the Germania Guards
and it is his purpose to- reorganiZe
and recruit the company and develop
degree of discipline heretofore un-
known among them.
The telephone exchange is so far a
certainty that the material necessary
has been purchased and preparations
are being made for putting up wires.
The benefit and convenience of an eX-
change will be better appreciated
after it is in running order. To make
it complete there ought to be line
to the depot. There seems to be but
little hope for city telegraph office,
and If arrangements can be made to
telephone messages to the depot it
will be great convenience.

TUESDAY. OCTOBER IS. 1881.

Someone, please, pray for fair
weather. For the past two months
we have had rain every other day
and at night swollen rivers.
Our streets are running black with
mud and our city fathers as yet have
not discovered the fact. 1t is re-
ported that one day last week a
loaded team went down out of sight
on Third street.
Jas. Montgomery, the new hard
ware man at Dunbar's old stand, is
selling hardware at very low cash
prices.
The invitations are out for the
Oshkosh excursion to be had on the
28th.
Crosby Grant of Stevens Point said
his prayers in this city last Sunday
in company with his girl.
Yesterday we had pleasant chat
with S. A. Cook, one of Unity's solid
business men, who is in the city at
tending court.
Editor Barney, of the Spencer Tri-
bune, was in our city soliciting sub
scriptions for his paper and succeeded
quite admirably.

MARATHON COUNTY'S FORTY
SIXTH ANNUAL FAIR
Held IN WauSau Last Week, a Grand Sue
cess in Every Way.

The fair of last week was surely a
climax to the 46 that have been held
The weather was ideal. There was
not cloud to be seen during the four
days of the fair. 1t was warm but
not too much so. In fact the weather
conditions for day and night enter
tainments were perfect. Tuesday
was entry day and many took occasion
to go over and wander through the
grounds and buildings. Wednesday,
the fair was not as largely attended
as 1T should have been, either day or
evening. Thursday was "Wausau
Day." and it was a record breaker.
The grounds and every building and
the quarter stretch and the grand
stand were filled and there were fully
$1,000 people present. In the evening,
to see the fire works and the special
attractions, there seemed to be two
thirds as many. Friday, the grounds
were filled both morning and evening,
and the horse races and attractions
were among the best ever seen in Wau-
sau. The races were watched by thou
sands and resulted as follows:

AN OLD-TIME RIVERMAN.

Louis LaMere, a resident of this
city and vicinity from the early SOS
until moving to Marathon county a
few years ago, came down from Mosi-
nee last Saturday and will visit few
weeks at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Geo. w. Sutton, on Dixon street.
Mr.. LaMere enjoys fairly good physi-
cal health and mentally is as bright
as during the days when he delivered
fleets of lumber to the southern
markets.-SteVens Point Gazette.

PIT PACE-PURSE S400
Time-2:144, 2:l44, 2:144.

On Thursday, "Bessie Woodland -
one of Fond du Lac's trotting horses
as can be seen, took the lead in the
2:l3 pace. She lowered the track
record, going in 2:l04. Her owner
was given 800, as that was the
amount fixed for lowering the tracks
record. The horse also lowered hel
own record two seconds. Several
track experts caught her time at 2:084.
Allowing her the difference of four
seconds for the mile track, which
means she could, if pushed, step a
mile in 2:05.
The most hOtly contested race of
the whole meet was Fridays 2:2l
pace. 1t seems after 81 Devine" had
taken the first heat, with "Maxie C''
second, and "Commutter" third, that
the drivers of the first and last named
horses got it into their heads it would
be easy to capture first and second
money by 81 Devine" giving way in
the next heat to "Commutter" and
then going in and take the two next
heats, but after the second heat was
over, Homer Ross, driver of "Maxie
G" saw what was in the air and eX-
pressed his contempt to the drivers of
those horses, and slipped it over both
of them by going in and taking the
next three heats.
AGRICULTURAL HALL.
In the Agricultural building, dis
plays had been attractively arranged
in booths and were very interesting.
The exhibit of products raised in this
county on display in the exhibition
hall was splendid and showed the
wonderful results obtained by the
farmers of Marathon county. The
Marathon County Order of Wiscon-
sin Experimental association exhib-
tied pure bred grains.
The exhibits of china, paintings,
drawings, fancy work, canned fruits,
cakes, cookies, pies, biScvits, etc, at
tracted the attention of all the visit
Ors.
Upon entering the building a dis
play had been arranged of noxious
weeds, quack grass, rag weed, SOW
thistle, potato Scab, Oat smut, alfalfa
leaf spot, ETC., which are detrimental
and this exhibit afforded much inter-
est to those not being acquainted
with the same.
The Marathon County School of
Agriculture and Domestic Economy
had good display of a Babcock
tester, soil tester, miniature silo,
samples of alfalfa, apples, ETC., and
sewing.
The town of Weston had arranged
an attractive booth with grains,
grasses, fax, potatoes, corn, garden
truck, various kinds of apples, cher
ries, plums, ETC., and took first prize.
The L. H. Cook booth was very
attractive and was highly commented
upon. 1t showed what can be done
on a city lot to keep down the high
cost of living. The booth was decor
ated in yellow and contained all kinds
of garden truck, fruits, ETC., and many
beautiful flowers. Among some of
the interesting things in Mr.. Cooks
booth was the samples of Tom Thumb
corn and the tobacco and peanut
plants.
The town of Elderon was repre-
sented and Mrs. A. J. Phowman had
charge of this booth. The same was
attractive in red, white and blue
decorations. Samples of grains,
flowers, canned fruits, garden truck
and maple syrup was shown.
The RADIANT Furniture company
exhibited sewing machines, library
sets and Royal Kashan rugs in their
booth.
