this bylaw, said:
my conclusion is that this bylaw.
whether 1t is enforced or not, should
be abrogated.''
The bylaw which was promptly kill

as follows:
the board of directors may in
their discretion, forbid members TO

Choctaws Meet.

DURANT, Okla, April 21.--Choc-
taw tribesmen gathered here today to
consider tribal affairs.
Uppermost on the slate was the
question of the delayed per capita
payment which congress has cut off,
and which some senators wish dis.
tributed to Mississippi Choctaws. The
tribe holds these Indians ought to
have none of the national funds, as
they are not of1icially on the Choctaw
rolls.
Whether they will change chiefs al
this time was another matter they
wished to consider. Sale Of tribal
coal and asphalt lands is another bis
problem.

DRUGGISTS CONVENTION
Royalty Entertained at Fond Du-Lac-
Over 700 Attend The Convention.

The annual Druggists Convention
was held at Fond du Lac on last
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The weather was indeed ideal
for such a gathering, the place is
centrally located and indeed every
thing must have been favorable, for
over 700 druggists and those interest
ed in that business were present.
Three Wausau men, w. W. Albers,
Bert Schwanberg, and D. E. Ploss,
who were in attendance, report that
there entertainment was royal, that
Fond du Lac people could not have
been more hOSpitable than they were.
Besides this, an excellent program
was carried out every day. Speakers
of national reputation addressed the
meetings and all in all, the con-
vention was most beneficial. W. w.
Albers delivered an eloquent address
on the first day of the gathering,
Tuesday, and at the conclusion of his
speech cordially invited the druggists
to consider Wausau as their meeting
place next year. Because of the sew
eral cities desiring to have the honor
of the convention next year, the ex-
ecutive committee of the association,
decided to appoint one man to look
over the cities suggested as the place
for next years meeting, and see what
the Accommodations are, etc. Let us
all hope that Wausau secures it and
the druggists will be treated with
true Wausau hospitality, we are all
sure.
The big social feature at Fond du
Lac occurred on Thursday when the
entire day was spent at one of that
city's parks where a picnic was enjoy
ed. This proved a splendid "mixer'
and an enjoyable time was had.
The evening was spent in dancing.
d. +. Ploss, retuned home on
Thursday while Bert Schwanberg and
w. w. Albers remained in Fond du
until Friday, arriving home in the
evening.

CIRCUS COMING.

He became confidential the moment
he entered the office. He said one
arm around the city editors should
ers and leaned close:
"You know me-" he announced.
eff you don't it doesn't make any
difference. I'm AL. Butler, but l
didn't come in here to talk about
myself. l just wanted to say that
I've been travelling around town to-
day, making contracts; and such for
the coming of the biggest circus in
the world. Therefore, l knew you'd
be interested, and so l dropped in TO
say that the afore mentioned biggest
circus in the world, the Sells -FlOtO
Circus and Buffalo Bill's Original
Wild West, is to appear in this city
for one days engagement, July 18th.
Mr.. Butler had many more things
to say, also, all of which concerned
the show. Buffalo Bill is still with
the circus, he announces, to appear
in parades and performances, as well
as many other new features, includ-
ing Hugh Clark's congress of wild
west performers from the ranches of
Wyoming; Rosa Rosalind, the most
famous eQuestrienne at present in
America: the forty clowns, Deylin's
zouayes, Rhoda Royals horses and
other attractions. Two big institu-
tions Joined together for one price of
admission.
Mr.. Butler is special agent for the
circus. He also is Self-appointed
special booster.
"And why shouldn't be?' he asks.
''The show is worth it. You'll say
the same thing after you've seen it
and cf course you're going. Besides
there's the parade, you know. That's
to come off at 1880 o'clock circus
morning. But I'm going to stoI
talking now. See the parade anC
Judge for yourself. That's the best
way"

HOW THEY MANAGED 1T.

Now days we hear a good many
stories about the war; about RoOSe-
welt; how Bryan is trying to convince
the pub';@ of his good intentions, but
this time we have story concerning
two kodak fiendS of WauSau, who
didn't have what they wanted when
they desired TO take picture of
themselves, but made the best of it
under the circumstances These two
boys were roaming the hills surround
ing this beautiful city, taking pic
lures of the other when a good bit of
scenery presented itself for the back
ground. At length, one of them
said: ave can take one more picture.
How can both of US get on this
picture? Have you any string ?"
They had no string, and they needed
it badly. A search around the hills
for something that looked like cord
or string was fruitleSS. Down in
the valley two horses were feeding.
An idea struck them. They ap-
preached the animals and while one
careSSed the horses head, the other
plucked out few long hairs of the
animals tail. The long hairs were
tied together: one end fastened to the
shutter lever: the kodak was placed
on a log with a rock on top. The
boys posed, pulled the hairy string;
the shutter clicked and their picture
was taken.

GEN. PEARSON TO BE HERE
Boer War Hero-Teuton Advocate
Speaks Here Tuesday
July 9th.

Gen. Samuel Pearson of Scranton,
Pa, one of the heroes of the Boer
war and an ardent pacifist, will speak
at the Grand Opera House on the
evening of July sixth. His subject
will be THE European War" The
lecture will be illustrated by some
5000 feet of motion pictures which
were taken but short time ago and
which show the German-Austrian
troops in action in the western theater
of war. The General himself spent
six months in that territory, and dur
ing the present war, so he we'll
knows what is going on.
Arrangements have been made for
his coming here by U. p. Koenig of
Milwaukee, naturalized American
citizen and an active business man,
who became very much interested in
the attempts being made by Pearson
to introduce the German side of the
war fairly to the American public.
M hOCIllS lids OCCIl OOOhlIS SCNcIdI
of the larger cities throughout Wis
consin, where Mr.. Pearson will speak
during the coming several weeks
Mr.. Koenig's booking him for Wausau
is to be appreciated.
Gen. Pearson but a short time ago
brought suit against the Allis-Chalm-
ers company of Milwaukee under the
Wisconsin discovery statue, in which
he tried to force men in the company
to give information as to contract
for war materials they were alleged
to he filling at that time. The case
was dismissed but Pearson is now
an effort on among the
people to try to prevent the shipment
Of ammunition, etc, to beligerent
nations. Mr.. Pearson is an able
speaker, will have a decidedly inter
esting lecture to deliver and in addi-
tiOn will answer any questions asked
by the audience. Remember July 9th.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The effort to repeal the blue sky
law, which is the measure giving the
railway commission power TO regulate
the issuance of securities by private
corporations, is creating a fight. 1t
now does not look as if the law would
be repealed.
1t is doubtful whether the assembly
and senate will be able to agree on a
change in the law in regard to the
entertainments and subcOntractors'
liens. This is another question on
which the house is at variance.
There will be quite number of
committee hearings this week, but it
is believed most of the committee
work except the work of the commit
tee on finance will be finished by the
end of this week.
The senate committee on education
and public welfare will probably
make some kind of a report on the
primary election question before the
end of the week. Just what the re-
port will be, however, no one can say.
Compromise was talked at a further
hearing Wednesday afternoon on the
Poole bill prohibiting cities from en-
acting tuberculin test ordinances.
Health Officer G. G. Rutland of Mil
waukee proposed that the tests be
made applicable to herds only once in
two years, and then only to fresh
blooded stock. DR.. Rutland advo-
Gated pasteurization as an additional
safeguard, not as the only one.
A proposition is on foot TO place the
juvenile court work in all parts of the
state with the county judges and a
bill was introduced into the assembly
Wednesday night through the judi
ciary committee which places the
Jurisdiction over all juvenile cases
with the county courts. The juris-
diction is at present with the circuit
courts under the general jurisdiction
held by those courts over all legal
actions.
That there is no further reason for
continuing the office of state oil in
spector and deputies was the conten-
tion of Chester d. Barnes of KenOsha,
before the committee on finance of
the legislatu yesterday afternoon.
He said when gasoline was cheap a
number of years ago it was possible
to adulterate kerosene, but now that
the latter has become more expensive
there was no more reason for inspect
ing oils beyond that of food products.
The conference committee which is
trying to arrange mechanics lien
bill which will pass both the senate
and assembly has about concluded its
work. The compromise bill will
probably provide that sub-contractors
and materialmen to be entitled to
len must give twenty days notice to
the owner of the property of their in
tentions to hold him liable for mater
ials furnished for the building.
