DEMOCRATS MAD,
WON'T1xMEE IN
STATE CAPITOL
(Madison Democrat)

Wisconsin Democrats are mad.
They are madden than the proverh
ial hornet.
They are so mad that they won't
hold their state convention in the
capitol but will meet at the south
veranda thereof, call to order and ad-
journ to the courthouse. Their COM
mittee meetings will be held in park
hotel rooms.
The reason for this unusual frame
of Democratic mind arose when Il
was discovered last night that they
could not hold their convention in the
senate chamber, as they had az
ranged, because the Guardians OF
Liberty, an anti-Catholic organization,
had foreclosed on them by engaging
the chamber previously. At a meet
ing held in the Park hotel last night
resolution was adopted cOndemna-
| tory of the treatment which the dele
gates held to be an affront, as 1t has
been a well-known practice, they say.
| for their conventions to be held in
that chamber. The resolution recalls
that upon former occasion, two
| years ago, Governor McGovern re-
fused to permit the use Of the as
sembly chamber by the Guardians OF
Liberty and permitted the Democrats
! to hold a public meeting there, at
which Judge Karel, Democratic can.
didate for governor, was speaker.
Then they resolved further" that
they would not ask Governor Phillip
nor Superintendent Blumenfeld fol
the privilege of the statehouse, but
would meet at the south entrance al
the appointed time and then adjourn
to the courthouse.
Previous Engagement
All this came about after Chairman
10. A. La Budde of the Democratic
) state central committee, and BUR-
Williams, candidate for governor, hac
: held a long telephone conversation
/ with Superintendent BMmenfeld OF
: the public property department. Mr.
: Blumenfeld told them that the en-
: gagement of the Chamber by The
Guardians of LIBERTY was concluded
/ some time ago for three days. HI
5 told them that they might have
2 room in the basement of the capito

SHORT ITEMS

The total loss by fire in this country
in 1907, just sent out by the U. S.
Geological Survey, amounts to $456-
4S6,151.
This is a large amount, but it does
not make allowance for the loss of
business. This amount means lot of
carelessness and crooked work, as
well as the honest non -preventable
losses. Every community pays for
every act of incendiary as well as
the carlessness of many and this
means higher rates of insurance. 1t
is a large tax which everyone ought
to help reduce.
The National Heating & Ventilating
Co., of Blooming gton, ILL.,, have lately
opened an Office at 309h Jefferson
street, Wausau, with Len. F. Sergeant,
of this city as manager, for the intro
duction and sale of heating and venti-
lating appliances for schools, churches
and public buildings in general. Mr..
Sargeant has already secured the con-
tract to install two new furnaces in
the Humboldt school building and has
begun their installation in place OF
the defective ones long since in use.
He has also secured the contract to
put in new furnace in the new
school building at Eland Junction,
work on which is also progressing.
The very hot weather has made
many city people go to the woods for
an outing, where they no doubt have
found it fine and cool. If we are to
Judge by the number of cars which
the ST. Paul trains carry and by the
apparent heaviness of the traffic, there
must be exceptionally large crowds at
the northern resorts and at cottages
Very profitable to the resort owner
and necessary too, since for several
years they have had such discourag-
ing crowds.
Supt. ]. E. Giessel of the county
schools reports that there will be
meeting of the town boards of Eat
Pleine and Franklin and of the village

sibility is that it may be formed.

LOSES LIFE
Wisconsin River Claims Another Vie
tim-Paul Erdman Thrown
Over Side of Bridge.

PaulA Erdman, thirty-siX years OF
age, while riding over the bridge
which runs from the west side of the
river to Barker & Stewards island,
was presumably thrown from his
bicycle either from force of contact
with the bridge or because the bicycle
wheels caught in cracks, and, bruised
from the accident, he fell into the
river and was drowned.
Though the wheel was discovered
by a pedestrian shortly after eight
o'clock, and a search was made since
it vas thought someone had been
drowned, the body OF Mr.. Erdman was
not to be located.
Early the following morning a
search was undertaken for the body
by Henry Schwister, w. r. Chellis and
others. The body was soon found in
four or five feet of water. Upon ex-
animation the coroner decided that
an inquest would not be necessary,
since it seemed perfectly clear that
the man had met with an accident
and that there was NO foul play.
Mr. Erdman was born in the town
of Stettin and had been a. resident
of this city for onwards of ten years
His widow and two children survive
him.. The burial took place from the
home, 204 N. First avenue, on Satur-
day, Rev. Destinon officiating, the de-
ceased being laid to rest in Pine
Grove cemetery

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
WAUSAU PILOT THIRTY THREE YEARS AGO

are to be nine directors, distributed
as follows: Three for Lincoln coun-
ty, three for Marathon county, two
for Portage county and one for Wood
county. All these counties were rep
resented at the meeting as follows:
L. B. Scott and P. b. Champagne of
Merrill; Alex Stewart, d. Mcdonald
and W. c. Silverthorn of Wausau; NJ
Wadleigh and Geo. W. Cate of Stevens
Point and John Edwards of Port Ed
wards.
: The object of the association, from
the views expressed by the meeting
and the provisions of the charter,
seems to be chiefly to drive the river
in sections, so that when logs are
started they will be kept moving all
along and not allowed to accumulate
at any point.
Three young men came out of the
woods last Monday to have Merry
Christmas, and in the evening they
were down near Porter Bros tannery,
and were crossing the river at that
point; when nearly across, one of the
party started back after something
which he had forgotten, and diyerged
little from the path which they had
taken, and broke through the ice and
was drowned.

WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID

A doctor in New York state made
neat rejoinder to the appeal of wes-
tern mail-order house who sought to
get his trade. The letter of the mail
order people was well written, and
full of persuasion. 1t closed with the
words: IF there is any, reason why
your reasons in the enclosed stamped
move the cause"
The doctor polished his glasses and
wrote as follows:
Your letter of recent date asking
why 7 had not traded with you for a
long time received, and you ask me
to tell you frankly why. l will give
you a few reasons:
First am in business in this
community, with it's varied industries,
for my support. / cannot ask the mer-
chants of this town for their support
if l do not give them mine.
"Second-In looking over my books,
| fail to find the names of any MEM
bers of your company, which reminds
me that none of your officials have
ever given me penny's patronage.
Why is this? Am l too far away or
have none of you needed physician,
or are they afraid of the mail-order
plan when it comes to the practice of
medicine? l can certainly give as
good satisfaction as your house can,
and will appreciate call from any
member of your company when in
need of medical services.
"Third-In looking over the sub
scription lists for improving our pub
| lie streets and public highways. |
| have failed to find the names OF any
members of your company down for a
| penny to assist in the work. Also
/ have failed TO find your names on
any of the charity lists, where help
| has been rendered to the poor. In
fact, in all the movements for the bet
terment of our conditions, where our
community has needed the united eff
| forts of her public-spirited citizens
| | have failed to find your names
/ among the lists of our contributing
Il merchants. Your names are not IL
/ the city tax books, nor do | find where
you have paid city license TO do {
mercantile business in competition
with our home merchants"

P0STALS PLAY BALL
Wausau Men Beat Merrill, ID to %
Royalty Entertained.

The Wausau post Office employees
played their annual game of baseball
ON Sunday with Merrill in tht city,
winning by score of Is to D. A
good tight game was expected, since
the teams were very equally matched
and had won the same number of
games.
The big score for us was partly
due to Merrills losing her dependable
pitcher, Anderson, who met with an
accident in the first part of the game.
However, the game was more interest
ing than the score would indicate.
The Wausau lineup was as follows:
'Burek, c.; Kell, p; Goetsch, S.; Benz,
h.; Damon, 2b.; Wegner, 3d.; Ehricke
cf. Buhse, rf. Grob, If.
The boys report being royalty en-
tertained during their short stay in
Merrill. They say that they just have
to hand it to the bunch up there, when
it comes to dealing out a good time.
Several cars filled with fans" from
this city attended the game. Paul
Schoenfeld and Barney Guenther ac-
companied the local players.
Byron McAdam has been given the
place OF Henry Gross, as water com
missioner, temporarily. The appoint
ment of a regular commissioner will
be made very soon.
