FAMOUS ORCHESTRA
TO APPEAR HERE ON
FRIDAY, EVE, MAY 20

The appearance of the Philharmonic
orchestra in Wausau Friday evening,
May 20, will be one of the most i'm
portant musical events in the history
OF our City. This is the first time that
this organization in its Seventy-eight
years of music has undertaken coast
to- coast tour. 1t is the first trip fur
Their west than Detroit that the or
cheStra has made since 1915, when
the Philharmonic successfully under
took an extended middle western and
southern trip. The opportunity to
hear the famous New York orchestra
in the west is therefore rare one and
Wausau is indeed fortunate to be one
of the cities included in the itenerary.
This orchestra is the Oldest SYM
phonic organization in the country and
the third oldest in the world. The
famous American critic, James Hume
ker, said in The New York World:
''The history of the Philharmonic or
chestra is the history of music in
America" The New York Philhar-
monte is antedated only by the London
Philharmonic and the Vienna Philhar-
monte, which were organized few
years previous to the dean OF Ameri-
can musical institutions.
1t is also noted for having the long
est list of famous conductors of any
orchestra. On its record pages are
names that stand out in the musical
development of Europe and America
names that read like hall of fame in
musical history.
Its first conductor of international
fame was Carl Bergman, who was a
pioneer in introducing the music of
Wagner to aud ences in this country.
Theodore Thomas, whom all Ameri-
cans revere as man who did more to
spread the love of good music in this
land than any other one person, was
conductor of the Philharmonic for
many years. After Theodore Thomas
came Anton Seidl At the time of
Seidl's death he had been conductor of
the Philharmonic for eight years.
Among other famous conductors who
have welded the baton over this ia
nous institution are Colone, VASTLY
Safonoff, Henry Wood, Gustav NAH
Ter and the present conductor, Josef
Stransky. Henry K. Hadley, associate
conductor, is also with the organiza-
ton on this tour and conducts one of
his own compositions at each appear
ance He is one of Americas most
distinguished composers.
The Philharmonic has gradually
extended its activities until now the
members of the orchestra devote prac-
tically all their time to the work of
the organization. Rehearsals are held
daily during the season and about
sixty concerts are given by the society
in Greater New York.

TROUT SEASON WAS
OPENED SUNDAY: SOME
TEARS SHED: SOME JOY

The trout season, long longed for
by ardent fishermen of the valley who
may be numbered in the thousands,
opened, Sunday, a cold, uninviting day.
For two weeks trout fishermen
had been bemoaning Their fate. The
opening day always has been and pro-
badly always will be one of the biggest
ones on the calendar and disappoint-
ment in it may mean a crouch all the
year around for some. Although many
forced themselves to display bouyant
spirit and to go on out fishing, angling
wasn't sport on May 1st 1t was work
and perhaps disagreeable. The water
was cold and every stream was high.
Waders in many instances were not
high enough to keep the cold ice water
from trickling down the inside.
A party went northward to the Pine
under the expert supervision of S. S.
Dingee, troutsman par excellance,
and over twenty good sized trout were
landed. In the party were S. S. Din
gee, John Dingee, l.. M. Duncan, DR..
F. G. Nichols. Flys, exclusively, were
used.
The Plover wasn't neglected-not by
any means, for Fred w. Genrich, an
arch trout fisherman, conducted sue
cessful party to Arcadia-on-Plover.
Between the seven men 1870 trout were
landed ON Sunday and Monday. In
the party were F. w. Genrich of this
city, NJ H. Duncan and friends, A. R.
Owen, Earl Kidd and Cliff Pherie, all
of Owen, Wis, Emil F. Braatz and
John Koehler, of this city. No worms
were used or are ever used by Plover
fishermen on these parties. The cot
tage on Plover was made ready Friday
by the group of men who spent Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday there.
Don't think for a minute the above
exhaust the number who sought old
time enjoyment on trout streams the
first of the week. There were many.
many others.

MASKED ROBBERS
HOLD UP PLAYERS
IN TESCH SALOON

Two masKed robbers boldly entered
the door of w. A. Tesch's saloon, for
merly owned by Ex-sheriff Emil
Tesch, at Schofield, last Saturday
night at 11:00 o'clock. In crisp, hard
tones, the two commanded the five
men who were playing cards, Otto
Hlntze, Harry Riemer, Leo Gesicki,
Elmer Dietmeier and Mr.. Tesch, 10
throw up their hands and submit to
search. Immediately four complied,
but Mr.. Tesch dove behind the bar in
an effort to obtain his revolver. Sew
eral shots lodged in the glass behind
the bar and he was forced to give up
also.
In the meantime Robert Prieve. who
was sleeping in the rear, was awak-
ened by the shots and Selling an au-
tomato shot gun he rushed toward
the bar room. He had not used gun
before but was able, nevertheless. to
shoot the bandit guarding the four
men in the right shoulder. The two
robbers made getaway but not be-
lore hiring a shot or two at Prieve who
might have lost his life had he not
stepped to one side of the door out of
sight.
Officers were summoned immediate
ly from Wausau but the robbers had
apparently lost themselves in the
darkness of the night. Next day traces
were followed to the G. M. & st. p.
tracks where they disappeared. No
trace has yet been discovered. The
two were described as near 5 #. s in.
and fl. 10 in. in height and dark in
color. One wore red bandana about
the lower part Of his face.

INDIANA FRUIT CROP :
DAMAGED BY FROST
(By United Press)

Indianapolis, April 27.-Recent
frosts and freezing temperature in
Indiana severely damaged late apples
and some of the wheat which has two
Joints in the stocks, George G. Bry-
ant, field agent of the department of
agriculture said here today.
.''The wheat which was about two
feet high had two joints and the
heart of this was probably frozen,"
Bryant said. II don't think there
win be much grain on that which was
frozen although it may make good
straw. That which was out OF the
ground only about five inches was not
touched at all. - ," -: ~*
''The late variety of apples ! be-
dieve were hit very hard, but If those
who have apple orchards go, ahead
and keep on spraying they will. have
some apples while those who think
they are all gone will get none. About
two thirds of the fruit in the central
portion of the state has been frozen.
Farmers will get better price for
their fruits this year than they did
last but I would be able to predict
any of the prices for this year.
ut is almost impossible to guess
the amount of damage that was done
to the fruit and grain crops yet. Ut
will be a month or more before |
could make any guess that would be
anywhere near the amount that has
been destroyed
