Abundant proof of the reputed
hospitality of WauSau to all guests
is again in evidence in the reception
accorded the Wisconsin State Dental
Society, convened in our city this
morning. The 10th annual meeting
is being held here for the three days,
July 18th, 18th, 18th, with business
sessions, lectures, clinics and demon
Strations at Eks' hall.
A large delegation arrived yester-
day, via automobile, from the south,
the run starting at Milwaukee last
Saturday. This sOciability run was a
very pleasant feature to those mem
bers that happened to be on the
official route, which was chartered
from Milwaukee to Wausau via
Menomonie Falls, Schleisingervile
Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Weyauwega,
Waupaca and Stevens Point.
The procession left Hotel Pfister,
Saturday at 100 O'Clock, and spent
the night at Oshkosh, where they
were entertained by the local mem
bers at the Yacht club. The second
days run took them to Waupaca
Lakes, where special chicken dinner
was served, and the usual summer
resort attractions were provided by
the Waupaca Commercial club. Leav-
ing the "Killarneys of Wisconsin"
Monday morning, the run of thirty
miles was made to Stevens Point
through Amherst Junction. Several
of our local cars met the visitors and
conducted them to our city.
This competitive automobile tour
was run under the rules of the
Wisconsin Automobile association
and followed closely such contests as
are conducted by the Milwaukee
Athletic club and other associations.
The Standard Racine Tire Co. joined
the procession with their service car,
and carrying a full line of repairs
were able to give first aid in all
emergency troubles.
The official program opened this
morning at O'Clock when the execu-
tive council and committees met.
At II o'clock invocation by Rev. D..
Jenkins Williams followed by an
address of welcome by Mayor II. E.
Marquardt, which was responded to
by Dr. E. A. Leilfuss, of Milwaukee.
The balance of the program for the
three days will be addresses and dis
cussions by many of the most eminent
dentists of this country. Clinics will
be conducted. On Wednesday after
noon an automobile ride will be
given the dentists through parts of
the county, which will end at Roths-
childs pavilion, where concert will
be given and banquet, and an even
ing of enjoyment will be had.
Aside from the clinics and demon
strations there is an elaborate display
of dental merchandise and medicines
on exhibition at Elks' hall. This is
no mean feature of the convention as
the dealers and manufacturers present
everything that is new and modern in
dental instruments and appliances.
Such meeting is therefore Of great
value as it enables those practitioners
who attend to get in touch with
methods and equipment that are
right up-to-date.
One feature of the convention, not
on the official program, is the lecture
to be given from the Chautauqua
platform this evening at O'Clock, by
DR.. Charles Nelson Johnson of Chi
cago. DR.. Johnson is one of the big
men in the profession and the people
| of this community are to be con-
graduated upon their privilege TO
hear him. He has q message of
burning interest to parents and all
others interested in the welfare of
the children, and the dentists are
urging the board of education. city
council, and sill others who can posi-
bly, attend TO hear DR.. Johnson at
the Chautauqua this evening.
