DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

Last Friday morning the home of
VIM. C. Schlaefer, on Franklin street,
was badly damaged by fire. The
home was recently purchased by Mr..
Schlaefer from George Lindsey, and
previous to the latter it was owned
by DR.. B. H. Conlin. The house is
supposed to have caught from burn
ing chimney and the flames were well
under way when the fire department
arrived. The fire damaged the roof
and second story of the building and
the water damaged household goods
and furniture. Mr.. and Mrs. Lindsey
were still in possession of the house
and several teachers roomed there all
of whom lost several hundred dollars
having no insurance on clothing or
furniture. The house was insured and
the loss was about $4,000.

Sept. Il. 1856.

Among the new institutions, is that
of Charlie Williams, livery stable
on Fourth street, between Washing
ton and Jefferson streets.
Last Saturday afternoon while w.
F. Collins was reading of the horrors
of the recent explosion in Chicago.
an explosion occurred in the stove by
which he was sitting, soaring BILLY
nearly to death. Investigation showed
that large stone, thrown into the
stove by mistake, had bursted. The
top of the stove was blown off, and
fragments scattered about the room.
Prompt action on the part of the hired
girl probably saved the house from
destruction. There are now traces of
silver threads intermingled with
"Billy's' raven tresses.
The police are determined to put
stop to gambling in Wausau, and in
their efforts il that direction they
will have the hearty support of our
best cltlzens. Let us hope the time
has passed when gamblers, driven
out from other cities, can find safe
retreat in Wausau where, unmolested,
they may pursue their crooked calling.

SPECIAL MEETING

There was a special meeting of the
city council last Wednesday evening
The evening was taken up mostly in
discussing the bridge question and
it was finally decided to refer the
question of raising 100000 to build
bridges across the Wisconsin river
north of the city. The idea is to build
another concrete bridge that will stay
for all time. The Leahy and Beebe
bridge will have to be repaired as
soon as possible to care for traffic.
Another bridge must also be built
in the extreme northern part of the
city. A permanent bridge will have to
be arranged on this Leahy and Beebe
site.

are occurring from this cause.

COTTON TRADE FALLS OFF
Wide Declines Forced by Weak Ex-
 change and English Situation.

New Orleans, Feb, S.-Wide declines were forced in the cotton market last week by the weakness of foreign ex- change and by the reports from Eng land of restricted imports of Ameri- can cotton, the reshipping of cotton to this counry and by the generally unsettled international financial sit uation Around the middle of the week the claims that imports of cot ton had been checked by the fall in sterling exchange were the dominat- ing influences in the market, but to- ward the close the market recovered from the low points, partly because of a tendency to recover in sterling rates and partly because of the official statistics showed that any decrease in exports was more fancied than real.
 At the lowest of the week the trad inb months were 262 to 268 points un- der the close of the preceding week. On the close the market showed net losses of 84 to 1856 points, March clos ing at 35.S5 against the closing price on middling spots of 38.75. Spots lost 113 points on middling in the net re- suits.
 This week the market is likely to be unable to get very far away from ical news. Spot markets were closely watched last week and any improve ment in demand this week would have a favorable effect on prices.

G. 0. P, SPLIT ON SUFFRAGE
Antis Are Aggrieved Over the Actions
 of Chairman Hays.

New York, Feb. 8,-Angered by a
 belief that Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee,
 is using the power of his office to
 bring about ratification of the fed eral woman suffrage amendment, many of the association opposed to woman
 suffrage are writing to the national
 headquarters of the organization at 26S Madison avenue that they will no longer continue to support the Repub-
 lican party if MT. Hays continues his alleged tactics.
 MT. Hays has already been attacked by the anti-suffragists because of his retention of Miss Mary Garrett Hay as chairman of the Executive Committee of the womans division of the Repub- lican National Committee. The "antis'' have resented Miss Hays declaration
 ehol oHO AS oppooCu tO lISi It-elcCClOn of United States Senator John w.
 Wadsworth Jr., even if he is renomi- mated by the Republicans, and inform ed MT. Hays some time ago that they considered this position made Miss
 Hay ineligible for a place in the party organization.
 The anti-suffragists have now de- cided to carry their campaign against Mrs, Hays further, and Miss Mary G. Kilbreth, the national president,
 will soon write letter to MT. Hays, asking him to explain his suffrage &C., tivities and demanding that he stop. We have direct information that MT, Hays has been going into several states, where the people have already expressed themselves as against wom- an suffrage and has sought to bring about ratification of the amendments
 by their legislatures, said Miss Kill breth. He has not hesitated to go over the heads of the Republican leaders in these states and to appeal to a younger and more radical element of the Republican party to put through

 "The necessity of early buying .il urged upon fertilizer users for those who wait until planting time to st cure their fertilizer likely will be dis. appointed. There is a small reduction in the prices of fertilizer over those prevailing last season.
 There is also an insistent demand for feeds. All millers report it diff. cult to supply the demand This con- dition is somewhat the result of ship ping conditions"

"THE HOODLUM" TONIGHT WITH MARY PICKFORD
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

Steering a high-powered, sporty au- tomobile down Riverside Drive is vastly different, and not half so much fun as showing a push cart down tenement street, so Amy Burke, as played by Mary Pickford in "The Hoodlum," discovers.
 |, Landing on sordid Creighton street as a snob, Amy Burke is converted into a star crap-shooter, a nimble fingered potato peeler and the official style setter for the tough girls.
 From his Fifth Avenue estate, Amy's grandfather watches his little favorite with acute curiosity. He is somewhat surprised to discover one night that Amy and tenement friend are in the act of cracking his safe. And then comes the big surprising and amusing clamix of this funniest of all the Mary Pickford comedies.
 It's picture of a thousand laughs" and affords Mary Pickford the great est character part of her career.
 '"The Hoodlum" will be shown to- night and tomorrow at the Empress.
