Committees will be appointed soor to make arrangements to entertain these visitors and everyone should as. sist in helping make their welcome one long to be remembered and above all every person in the county who is interested in good roads and the Bankhead Highway, should see to it that the roads through this county are in the best possible condition before the arrival of these visitors. A whole lot will depend on the report they turn in and if they find the roads in this section of the state up in fine con- dition it will have big weight in the fight that is coming to get the gov ernment to adopt this as national highway. For once in our lives let's pull together all with definite purpose-that securing of the govern ment's adoption of this road.

One of the very sad Affections of the

Twenty years ago, d. L. Plumer, Or
son Phelps and others, formed a com
pany to operate and search for iron on
MARSHAL Hill. They explored the range
for eighteen miles, but were not sue
cessful In securing anything but spec
imesss of floating ore.
Everyone that goes out now-a-days
for recreation of any kind, generally
brings home a load of rubbish compris-
ing from common clay to pretty good
specimens of gold, silver and iron. We
are Informed that some very fine spec
linens OF gold and silver have been
found in the neighborhood of Rib Hill.
A sort OF mysteriousness prevades the
atmosphere.
Joan Miller has the Farnham block
well on the way to completion.
Wn. Wilson in digging post holes
sayfhe finds the earth without a bit
of moisture at the depth of three feet.
Iris rumored that Mrs. Farnham has
sold the property recently purchased
by VIM. Merklein, corner of Third and
McGsellen streets, to Mr.. Ulrich, the
butcher.
Caught Tresspassing-A large red
COW, with a white face, (said white
face spotted) and very large horns.
Owner can recover the above by apply
ing at G. v. Bardeen's law Office and
paying damages.
Last Saturday, Otto Kickbusch, re-
ceived a dispatch that Dayton Belle"
formerly owned in this city, but now
the property of NJ. H. McCord, of Mer-
rlll, was killed by a collision of trains.
Also that Gertrude c." had been badly
injured. Further particulars have not
been learned at this time of writing.
A Board of Health was duly organ
lied last Saturday FOR the city of Wau-
sau, Marathon County, Wis; for the
year 1886, as required by chapter 167,
Laws of 1888. The names of the Off
GERS of said board are as follows:
Chairman-F. w. Kickbusch.

paying therefore the sum of $4,000
Mr.. Moore has already taken possession
and from now the hotel will be under
his supervision. Mr.. Moore also pur-
chased the property of Louis Taller
directly back of the hotel property,
corner of Second and Scott streets
which will add vastly to the worth of
the institution. Mr.. Moore has made
his millions out of the iron mines on
the Gogebic range and Wausau Is to
be congratulated because of the fact
that he has seen fit to make an invest
ment here.
Milo Kelly is in Arizona Terri

PRIVATE ELECTRIC LIGHT
PLANTS

The State Industrial commission
says:
During generation we have passed
from the tallow dip to the MAZDA lamp.
Tallow dip, candle, kerosene lamp,
gasoline and acetylene lights and cleo
trio lights succeeded each other.
Because of the prohibitive expense
only a few nearby farmers can con-
meet with city plants; others must de-
pend on private plants for electric
light, heat and power.
These systems are of low voltage,
and the dangerous theory is quite COM
mon that therefore they are free from
life and fire dangers. Neither of
these dangers depend solely on vol
tage. A strong well man may survive
a severe electric SHOCK slight shock
may be fatal to one with a weak heart.
Standing on a dry floor or a rubber
mat, it may be safe to touch a knife
switch or brass socket; standing on
a wet floor or in a bath is dangerous.
In building where there is nothing
to burn, poor wiring may do no harm.
Such is not the case in farm barns
particularly. The dampness of the
stockbarn is destructive to wire insu-
lation, and short circuit may at any
time ignite the gathered cobwebs. In
the hayloft hay, straw, cobwebs and
dust are usually in contact with wires,
fixtures and unenclosed switches and
fuse blocks. Under these conditions
the slightest electric trouble may cause
disastrous fire. Conduit wiring is
advisable in barns.
All work should be done in strict
conformity with the National Electri-
cal Code. This is the standard
throughout the land, and the legal
standard of this state.
Farmers can do no better than to
purchase these plants, installed, from
some known, reputable dealer, under
contract that all work comply with
said code. A reputable dealer cannot
afford to let either death or fire come
back to plague his conscience because
of incompetent work.
Shun the man who tells you that
these plants are free from danger and
that expert knowledge is not needed
to install them.
Mr.. Farmer, your buildings house
ever-increasing values. You are not
prepared to fight fire. Prevention is
your only protection.

SET OUT TREES

The Chamber of Commerce in re-
cent bulletin gives the following good
advice, which should be needed:
''Now that Grand avenue is going
to be paved and with the cement road
already constructed we are going to
have a splendid drive, but this high
way will still require several improv-
ments to make it what it should be.
There is strip of about one mile be-
tween Wausau and Schofeld that
should be beautified by setting out
trees on each side of the highway.
With the proper cooperation and en-
thusiasm that is generally received in
such enterprises this work could be
easily done and II is hoped when the
committees are appointed that this
matter will receive prompt attention
of the committee and a the same time
arrangements made with the Village of
Schofield 10 carry out this work.
Plans should be made in order to have
this done the first thing this spring
fer every year counts in the growth of
tree. Suitable elm trees can be
found near Wausau and will only need
the transplanting."
