MANY SALOONS GOING
OUT OF BUSINESS

This is the time of the year when
licenses for conducting saloons are
being asked for; this has been the
custom from time immemorial and it
has been one of the remunerative bus
inesses of the city. A license costs
a proprietor of a saloon 5000 a year.
For many reasons the business is
not as lucrative as of yore. The
tendency to 'go dry" all over the
country, the scarcity of labor, on ac-
count of the war, the very high price
of liquor, the tax imposed by the
government, all has discouraged many
to continue and instead of 81 saloons
as last year, there will only be 81. A
few old time places have not applied
for licenses up TO this date, among
them are the Patzer place on South
Third street; the John Weik saloon
corner of Third and Jackson. Both
of these places have been in exist
ence since the days when lumber was
run to the markets by water, and when
Wausau was full of young lumber
jacks, working on the river and in. the
woods-ffty years or more. The
Braatz place on the corner of Scott
and Second is also among those not
applying for license; also the Farm
ers' Home" and the Adams House
saloon. The wholesale liquor store
of c. A. Barwig has been discontinued
This seems to be the condition in the
liquor business all over the state.
Some of the saloons mentioned above,
may be taken up and continued by
others.

land Yesterday

Yesterday, the Sind annual en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic assembled in Ashland for a
session of two days. The ranks of
the old soldiers are fast thinning and
the membership which at one time
was nearly 10000 is now less than
5000. The attendance is about the
same as usual owing to the fact that
the Women's Relief Corps are pres
ent in large numbers, besides the
meeting will include the Sons of Vet
Grams and the Daughters of the Grand
Army. 1t is thought that George D.
Breed of Chiffon will be chosen de-
partment commander.
The question of settling upon a
permanent place is strongly agitated
and it is thought Madison will be
selected.

WORK STOPPED
BY THE CITY
Work of Laying the Street Railway
Track Postponed Pending
Negotiations

Last Thursday the Wisconsin Val
ley Electric company attempted to lay
its rails across the new concrete
bridge, which spans the falls, but
was prevented from doing so by the
city.
The Wisconsin Valley Electric Co.,
ever since it was built in this city,
has conducted a line from Third
street, west across the river to South
Third Ave. When the building of the
new bridge was commenced the West
side line had to be abandoned until the
company was able to place its track
over the new bridge. There has been
some controversy as to whether the
street railway company should stand
a part of the expense of the new
bridge and this had been referred to
the state railroad commission and for
this fact and that the city attorney
said the bridge had not been accepted
the work of laying the track had been
stopped.
The Wisconsin Valley Electric COM
pany, by it's manager, M. c. Ewing,
made the statement that the bridge
was in condition for the company to
resume it's street railway traffic to the
West side, which had been interrupted
since last winter and this service
should be given that part of our city
as soon as possible. AS soon as the
company was commanded to stop lay
ing its track, it obeyed, but requested
permission to go ahead and put it's
track in condition to accommodate the
public, at the earliest possible NOM
ent. The matter will no doubt be ad-
justed in a few days. The people of
the West side are entitled to this
service as soon as the city can give
it to them.

MOTOR CYCLE TURNS TURTLE

Timothy Jones was seriously injured
Tuesday night when his motor cycle
turned turtle at the foot of the paper
mill hill. He was taking a couple of
lads over to the dance at Liberty hall,
the passengers riding in the side car
Just as they started up the hill
bicycle rider came down from the
paper mill, crossing the road directly
in front of the motor cycle. To pre-
vent collision Mr.. Jones slammed on
the brakes with the result that the
motor cycle turned, spilling the riders
out into the ditch and throwing the
boy who was riding the bicycle to one
side of the road, and smashing his
wheel. Mr.. Jones was the only per-
son injured and he has been in a
critical condition until today, when it
is reported that he is considerable
brighter and is improving. The other
occupants of the car were Robt. Burke
and Spencer Graves.-Mosinee Times.

HOME ON A VISIT
Lieut.. Guy A. Davis Makes Flying
Trip from Seattle, Through the
Panama Canal, up to New Port
News, and then to Wausau.

Lieut.. Guy A. Davis arrived in Wau-
sau last Wednesday from Newport
News, Va, on a visit to his mott. ar,
Mrs. Daniel Manning. Lieut. Davis
was born in this county and this city
has always been his home, notwith-
standing he has been in the navy since
1896, visiting his home here whenever
he could get away. At the time of the
rush to the gold fields in Alaska, his
father, Sam G. Davis, who was one of
the prominent men of Wausau in an
early day, was among those who went
to the country of the north in search
OF gold. The last heard of him was
near the great land slide in Alaska,
under which so many were buried, and
it is supposed that he was among
those lost at that time. Lieut.. Davis
enlisted in the navy in 1896; he was on
the. battleship Oregon" when it made
its famous trip around the horn in
1898. He was in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and was on the Oregon" in
the naval battle at Santiago. Since
the close of war he has been in the
U. S. Transport Service between the
coast, Honolulu, Philippines and
China. Recently he was commissioned
by the government as second lieuten-
ant and since November has made
three. trips to France
Just to show what great changes are
going on in the world he stated that
when the Oregon" made it's trip
around the horn it required 6S steam
ing days. The vessel was capable of
making Is knots an hour. 1t required
three months for a common freight
| steamer to make the trip at that time
On the 9th day of May, Mr. Davis left
Seattle, Wash, on the "West Lianga,
the swiftest steel vessel ever built, ca
pacity 5000 tons, having been construc-
| ted from keel to trial trip in 81 days
by the Skinner & Eddy corporation OF
Seattle. Passing through the famous
canal, and stopping three days for
fuel and repairs reached Newport
News on the 9th day of June, 29 days
inclusive, or 26 running days.
Lieut.. Davis has not been home fol-
two years and he was granted a fur
Tough, until called by the government
which may be tomorrow and it may
not be for another week. His many
old time friends are delighted to see
him.

A PROCLAMATION

The stirring Memorial Day appeal
of President Wilson calls attention to
the needs of our country in the pres
ent great world war. 1t is an appeal
to the people of the United States for
hearty cooperation in all things
needed to win the war.
The people of Wisconsin have thus
far been most generous in their re-
sponse to the calls of the govern
ment. Our young men of military
age are joining the ranks of the army
with spirit of enthusiasm that gives
assurance that they will do their part
as soldiers. In our prompt and liberal
contributions of money and service
this state is winning the admiration
of the people of our country. The sac
rifices that we have thus far made will
add a brilliant page to Wisconsin's
war history.
However, the end of the war is not
yet in sight, and the splendid efforts
that we have made in the past must
continue. To meet the enormous ex-
penditures that are necessary to as
sure success, we must learn to re-
gard thrift as virtue that all must
practice. We can we'll afford to fore
go luXuries in order that we may save
our earnings and loan them to the
government to meet the expenditures
necessary to carry on the war. Those
who can give but small amounts are
doing their "bit." The savings of our
children, the working boys and the
working girls, and the great army
of wage earners, both men and women,
If inUnctQd in onf
in the aggregate, amount to large
sums and will be a substantial aid.
In order to give all an opportunity
to show their interest in our country
and it's welfare, the government is
| offering Thrift Stamps for sale, the
value of which has been we'll ad-
vertised and is understood. The allot-
ment to this state of this class of
| security is fifty-one million dollars.
| Our people have thus far, by their
| liberal subscriptions, regularly ex-
ceeded the amounts allotted to the
state and l sincerely hope that in this
| collection the state will again meet
the expectations of the government.
| On June twenty-eighth there will be
meetings held in every school house
in our state, and l earnestly request
that the people attend these meet
ings and pledge themselves to pur-
chase such amounts of these securities
that our quota may be secured and
that we may again be able to send
word to our sons lover there" that
our people are meeting every re-
quirement of the war.
In Testimony Whereof, 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the state of Wisconsin
to be affixed. Done at the Capitol
in the city of Madison this seventh
day of June, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand nine hundred and eigh-
| teen. EMANUEL L. Phillip,

JUSTICE M. B. ROSENBERRY
To Wed Mrs. Lois Kimball Mathews
Dean of Women at University
of Wisconsin

Announcement was made Friday
June IA, of the engagement of Su-
preme Court Justice Marvin Bristol
Rosenberg and Mrs. Lois Kimball
Mathews, dean of women at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The marriage
is set for the near future. Dean
Mathews came to the University of
Wisconsin in the fall of 1912 to ac-
cept the position of dean of women
and associate professor of history.
She is graduate Of Leland Stanford
university, received her M. A. degree
from the same university and her Phi.
D., from Radcliffe. She had previous
1y occupied the chairs of history at
Wellesley and Vassar colleges. Mrs
Mathews visited Wausau, about two
years ago at which time she gave
an address before the Ladies' Liter
ary club. Her personality was most
pleasing.
Justice Rosenberg was appointed
to the supreme court bench from this
city, Feb. 23d, 1916, following the
resignation of Justice John Barnes
and was reelected for the unexpired
term last April.

SITE PURCHASED
Employers Mutual Liability Insurance
Company, Now the Owner of the
Anderson Property Consideration,
$4,000.

For some time the EMPLOYERS
Mutual Liability Insurance company of
this city has been casting about for
a site on which to erect a suitable
building for it's own use. The quarters
now occupied in the Wausau Tele-
phone company's building will soon
be altogether too inadequate for the
company's rapidly growing business
and 1t becomes necessary to provide
larger quarters. On Thursday last
the company purchased the Anderson
property.
The Anderson property borders on
the county square and is at the corner
of, Fourth and Jefferson streets, and
has frontage of 80 feet on the latter
and 120 feet on the former. On this
property is the home formerly occu-
pied by the family of the late V. A.
Anderson. 1t is one of the most de-
sirable corners Of our city.
1t is not probable that the Employ
ers Mutual will make any ATTEMPT to
erect a building this year or during
the time of the war, but it will erect
a building that will be credit to our
city and to the company when condi-
tiOns are favorable.
The Employers Mutual is doing an
enormous business under the provi-
siOnS of the Workmen'S compensa-
ton law, of Wisconsin. In the few
years Of its existence it has grown
to be the most extensive company in
the state, doing insurance business
under the compensation law, and dur
ing that time it has continued to
grow, until it requires three times
as much room in which to transact
its business, that it did two years
ago, and it is still growing. The
consideration for the new site was
$4,000.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

The annual graduation exercises of
the Marathon County Training School
for Teachers, took place at the High
school auditorium last Wednesday
evening. The program opened with
the invocation by Rev. Richard Evans,
after which all joined in the singing
OF America" George Vehlow of Chi
cago, rendered a vocal selection. F.
S. POWles, superintendent of the pub
lie schools at Berlin, Wis, delivered
the commencement address to the
graduates and the large number of
relatives and friends present He took
as his subject, Vocabulary of Sue
cess"
During the course of his interest
ing address he interpreted the mean
ing of success as getting to the place
you are headed for, and many think
1t makes no difference now you get
there, just so you finally land where
you started out for. Nevertheless it
takes good and strong character to
accomplish success, and without char
acter success can never be attained.
1t is not necessary to have much
worldly wealth in order to be success
ful, as the poorest man in the world
today is the man, who has money and
nothing else. When young people go
out into the world, the first thing to
bring forcibly before the people is
character. There are two classes of
people-the working class and the
shiftless class. We need energy in
order to be successful, as lazy people
seldom get anywhere. Good sense is
necessary as is the power to carry
into effect, also frmness of character
in order to reach the place you are
starting out for. There is also an
other important factor, and that is
to be absolutely sure that you are in
the right, and then carry out your
plans. Everything is possible to
young men and young women if they
will but persist in any undertaking.
The Senior class then sang two
songs, speed Our Republic" and "Our
Country's Flag"
Before the presentation of the di-
plomas, County Superintendent of
Schools, J. e. Giessel, spoke a few
words along educational and patri-
otic lines, after which he gave out
the rewards. This was followed by all
singing, THE Star Spangled Banner" ."
Mrs. P. L. Sisson direcred the musical
numbers, while Miss Wanda Hopp
played the piano accompaniments.
Congratulations to the members of
this yeGi 5 class, numbering forty.
were then extended.
Mr.. Giessel also gave out thirty
five Teachers Reading Circle diplom-
as to the class.
