Kelly Bros saw mill will be operated
the entire winter; logs are to be drawn
about twelve miles on the Lake Shore
r. R., and delivered at the mill.
100000 feet of logs are expected to be
drawn to the mill, and 2,500,000 sawed
during the winter months.
Jacob Kolter intends erecting a
large fire-proof building, just west
of his Music hall block, next spring,
which he will use for displaying all
kinds of agricultural implements,
everything from a threshing machine
down to garden rake, also samples
of wagons, buggies, etc.
C. A. Barwig of Mayville, Wis, who
makes periodical trips to this city,
made us a. visit Friday. He's all wool
and a yard wide, and no young man
that visits this city is more gladly well
coined.
A novel sight greeted the eyes of
our citizens last Tuesday. A band of
about twenty Indians had been out in
our woods seeking game, and were re-
turning to their reservation; they
passed through this city with fifteen
deer strapped to their horses. Upon
the back of the leading horse was, on
one side, large deer and on the other
a coffin which contained the body of a
little child, which had died in their
travels.

NO CITY PARKS

Up to this time Wausau has no city
parks excepting the small one at the
library grounds and a couple of small
ones up in Forest park, which were
given the city. 1t is a condition which
is not very creditable to the enter
prise of our people. About fifteen
years ago all of Forest park with it's
original forests, could have been pur-
chased for a song. Werle's park-a
vast pine grove-on the west side,
could have been purchased for a few
thousands of dollars, but none would
make the move. Our city has yet
several chances of purchasing grounds
inside the limits which would make
beautiful parks, for only a small
amount when compared to what it will
have to pay for the same, eight or ten
years hence. Wausau must have a
couple of parks and it must have play
grounds for the children. 1t takes
some enterprise and some push" to
bring this about but there are those
who can do il.

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

The organization of st. Omer Com

The three principal officers are:
Eminent CONS. H. Alban.
Generalissimo-R P. Manson.
Capt. General-C. F. Crosby.
On Sunday, the third, so says the
Merrill Advocate, a burglar made his
way into the house of Van r. Willard.
crept cautiously upstairs and entered
the room of Lee Willard, who met him
with "hello!" The burglar, we sup
pose, responded by uttering the first
syllable of the exclamation, and pro-
ceeded to make lively retreat, but
not in time to get out of the way of
the leaden missile that was sent after
him. L. c. Tyner and Elijah Gould,
hearing the rumpus hurried to the
scene and captured Mr.. Burglar, who
was found to have received a slight
wound, just enough to scare him. A
razor and $50 was found on his per-
son, and but for the cool courage of
Master Lee, the consequences might
have been awful; not that he could
have done much damage with the $50,
but the razor, ugh! The time was nine
O'Clock p. N. Mr.. Willard was absent
at temperance meeting and no one
was at home but Mrs. Willard and her

DEATH OF RICHARD POWERS
Passed Away at Rochester Tuesday
Evening Following an Operation
Had Been in Poor Health
Fer Some Time.

The people of this village and vicin-
ity were sadly shocked and panied to
learn of the death of Richard Powers
which occurred at Rochester Tues
day evening at twenty minutes after
six. Cause of death is given as acute
pneumonia following an operation to
which he submitted the Saturday be-
fore.
Mr.. Powers had not been in good
health for many months, and last Jan
uary went to the Mayo Bros hospital
at Rochester, where he submitted to
an operation for the removal of gall
stones. He withstood this operation
nicely but a complication of bladder
and kidney trouble was found to exist
and another operation was found
necessary. The latter was of a pre-
liminary nature, however, and was to
be followed by another operation as
soon as his condition was favorable,
which was hoped to relieve the trouble
and effect cure.
About a month ago Mr.. Powers re-
turned to the hospital, where he has
since been. Last Saturday the opera
tion was performed, and his condition
appeared to be quite satisfactory up
until Tuesday when it was seen that he
was commencing to fail. Word was
sent to relatives here, and not long
after came the message announcing
his death.
The remains arrived in this city this
morning accompanied by his bereaved
wife who was a constant and faithful
companion during his long illness and
suffering, and Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Dessert. The funeral party was met
at the train by a large number of
friends who accompanied the remains
to the residence on Third street from
where the funeral services will be con-
Quoted this afternoon at two o'clock.
Rev. FIR. A. e. Pfaum will officiate.
Richard Powers was born at Water
ford, Ireland, on Christmas day, 1S47,
and came to this country with his par
ents, Edward and Mary Powers, in
1865. The family came direct to this
place where they located on a farm
west of town. For many years Mr..
Powers found employment in the Des-
sert Lumber company's mills and with
the Flanner-Steger Lumber Co. He
was interested in the lumber industry
practically all of his life and was a
member of the Westfield & Fall River
Lumber Co. On September 2Sth, 1876;
he was united in marriage to Miss
Josephine Richardson at Stevens Point,
and during the greater part of their
forty years of married life they have
lived in Mosinee. Besides the bereaved
wife, deceased is survived by one sis
ter, Mrs. Edward Hughes, of the town
of Emmett.-Mosinee Times.
Mr.. Powers is mourned by very
large number of friends in Wausau, to
whom the sad news of his death comes
as a great shock A most estimable
man has been taken from us.

WISCONSIN VALLEY ELECTRIC co.

Many improvements are being made
in the electric system at Merrill since
the Wisconsin Valley Electric Co. pur-
chased the power plant up there. A
high tension wire now connects Wau-
sau and Merrill; the direct current
has been changed to an alternating
current A part of that city is now
being lighted by the alternating current
from Wausau. A new up-to-date gen.
Grating plant is being installed, when
completed it will consist of two units
of 600 horse power each. The city now
has only about $50 horse power. The
rates for power and the use of electric
ity in general will be the same as
charged in this city.

CITY COUNCIL

The regular meeting of the city
council was held on Tuesday evening,
July 18th. July 4th, the regular night
of meeting, was legal holiday. The
mayor took occasion to address the
council on the inadequacy of the fire
department. When the fire depart
ment was called out to the Mohr Lum-
ber Co.'S plant there were only two
men in three of the stations, the others
were at dinner. The mayor recon-
mended that No 2 station be motorized
and men at No. 3 station be distributed
among Nos. 2 and and No. station
be closed. He also recommended that
arrangements be made to protect the
west side, as the mains crossing the
river may be out of service at most
any time when most needed This
was left with the committee on fire.
water commission and water works.
Another matter the mayor talked
upon was the building of central
school building as recommended by
the board of education. The cost for
building and site, if built on the same
block of the Humboldt building, will
be $175,000.
A letter was received from George
Borowitz, who is now in Texas with
Co. G, thanking the city council, of
which he is a member, for the reso-
lutions passed in his behalf; copy
of which had been sent him.
Parking of automobiles, carriages,
wagons, ETC., on Third, Washington
and Scott streets was prohibited.
1t was voted to do considerable per-
manent paving on some of our princi-
pal streets, and repair work on
others.
The wagon scale in front of the
Giesler meat market was ordered re-
moved.
Various reports of the city depart
ments were read. The report of the
city nurse Miss M. c. German, showed
the total number of visits very large;
the total number of children visited
1856; total number of other visits
made, 1886.

GOLF BALLS

Golf balls are great attraction for
young boys, and they are possessed
with the idea of opening up all of
which they can get hold, in order to
secure the rubber. There are occa-
sional explosions of the balls thus
treated and injuries follow. Recently
boy in the East was taking the outer
cover off ball; not making very rapid
progress he used his teeth and bit into
the acid pocket. The fluid burned his
mouth and he swallowed some of it
and it is thought he cannot live. The
acid is a secret preparation. Golf
balls should not be opened, it is dan
gerous to do so.

KICKING AGAINST THE OIL

Oiled streets seem to be the rage in
Northern Wisconsin. At Stevens
Point they have been oiled and, so
they say, rugs and carpets have been
floors and walks smeared;
rubber tires damaged or ruined, etc
1t must be a different kind of an oil
than is being used here. In Wausau
only a part of street is oiled at a
time, cross-walks are covered with
sand and the streets themselves will
have a coating of finely ground rock.
