HUMANE AGENTS REPORT

2. One team of horses starving. This
is the owners second otfense.
3. A crippled and sore shouldered
horse beaten with club to make him
keep up with a well, strong horse in
hauling load of rags.
4. A mother on the west side re-
ported to be neglecting her sick daugh-
ter by not allowing her to have medi-
cal assistance or proper nursing. The
daughter since died.
5. A family of three children with
their mother, were abandoned by the
husband and father and family found
to be in actual need. The man was
arrested and has promised to treat
them properly, and to provide for their
wants.
6. Agent was called to take charge
of hayward and viscious girl of seven
teen, who is lying ill in the city, and
without money or friends. The girl
has been relieved and is now in the
care of competent physician.
Z. A family dog belonging to a
resident of the West Side, was found
in an alley where it had been thrown
after having been beaten till it was
simplya quiveriug mass OF flesh; and
vet this animal lived through the
night with the thermometer 200 below
zero, and might have suffered many
hours longer had not an officer hu-
namely ended its misery.
What makes this case doubly cruel
and heartless, is the fact that when
the cries of the dog reached the owner,
he called to the neighbor to spare the
old fellow, as he had been for sixteen
years an inmate of his home, but the
family feud of long standing, must
have blood, even the blood of a dumb
beast, and yet some one asks us HUI
name Education essential ?"
s. A woman living on Second street
asked for the intervention of the
Society to protect her from violence at
her husbands hands. Her restitution
was reported to the proper authorities,
and she was on application, provided
with comfortable home at the
county poor house.
{ 8. A county officer asked the agent
to investigate a report that sick
woman was lying without friends, fire
or care in house on Fulton street,
A visit to the place designated, verified
all these conditions and further that
} the woman is without means TO hire a
I nurse. Neighbors took care of her
{ when they heard of her case, but the
proper steps were taken to give the
unfortunate proper care. She died
Sunday night at 2 a. M.
10. Case of a family of six in such
utter restitution and distress from
sickness that they are actually suffer
ing They have not asked for aid
{ from the city, so great is that pride
I that so often accompanies poverty.
Some assistance has been given by
charitable neighbors and real friends
II. One case of wlfe-whipping re-
ported and prosecuted.
II. One case of wife-disciplinine
which is unique if not cruel is reported
from the east end of Jackson street
This case will be reported in full in
our next report.

JUST A FEW WORDS.

The coming summer there is to be
erected, a good many buildings, some
large and imposing and others not very
pretentiouS, but all should remember
that we have, in our city, as good an
ARCHITECT as can be found in the state
Philip Dean. He has come here to
make his home and 1t is hoped that our
citizens will turn over whatever work
they have to him. 1t is only necessary
to step into his Office in the McCrossen
block, up stairs, to be convinced that he
can get you up just such plans as you
want, and no one should attempt to put
up building without plans and specifi-
cations. Mr. Dean followed the bust
ness of an architect and superintendent
for many years in Appleton and Mil
waukee and some of the finest buildings
in the state have been planned and
their erection superintendent by him.
Give him a call and you viii not regret

THE WHOLE BOY IN
THE WHOLE SCHOOL,

Henry Turner Bailey, who is well
known in the educational field through
out the country as an able, witty and
practical speaker, will lecture at the
Opera House, Tuesday evening Mr..
Mathie heard Mr.. Bailey deliver this
same lecture in Stevens Point several
years ago, and can assure all who care
to go that it will be well worth hearing
Mr. Bailey uses the blackboard and
chalk frequently in illustrating his lee
lures. The city teachers have been the
means of getting Mr. Bailey here for
an afternoon lecture, but he is such a
we'll known man and such fine speak
er that they decided to have him speak
in the evening also. Admission to the
evening lecture will be by invitation
from the teachers to all HON they
know to be interested in education and
schools. If anyone who is interested in
these matters does not receive an invi-
tation he should apply to one of the
teachers for ticket

CITY SCHOOL NEWS.

Miss Bohrer addressed the general
teachers meeting last Friday on "How
the teachers in the public schools can
help the Training school,"
The eighth grade boys have organized
team to play Saturdays under Mr..
Lloyd. The Training school girls have
organized teams to play Saturdays
under Mr.. Prestons Instructions.
The high school boys first team has
issued challenges to the Oshkosh, Apple
ton, Oshkosh and Milwaukee South and
West side high school basket ball teams.
The west side high has not been beate n
this season.
The piano fund was increased 800 by
the liquid air lecture last Saturday.
The fund amounts now to $3.50 and
when we do get new piano it will be
a fine one worthy of the assembly hall
where it is to be placed.
From the great activity of the city
teachers last Saturday it would appear
that they must have had pay day Fri
day.
NEAL BROWNS GRAFTON.
Neal Browns Grafton on John Mar
shall, delivered last Friday evening at
the high school was without doubt the
finest of its kind ever heard in this city.
Mr. Browns ability as a writer is well
known; he has at his command fund
of knowledge on many subjects which
he expresses to good advantage in the
best language. Added to his powers of
writing what may justly be dignified
with the title of literature is an excel
lent voice, used to good advantage.
If Wausau people had only know what
was in store for them the assembly hall
would have been packed; as it was, the
three hundred or more who were in
attendance formed an unusually atten-
tive audience. The high school upper
class men appreciated every word OF
the grafton, in fact this is the first
known case where certain high school
pupils ever listened attentively through
out an entire evening-we know of no
higher praise.

LIQUID AIR.

The liquid air lecture and experiments
given at the opera house under the aus
pices of the Wausau High. School, were
pronounced success, and the house
was filled from orchestral pit to the ut
termost seats in the gallery. Instead
of Prof. Woodland being present as adj
vertised, Prof Eugene e. Foster, came.
He was introduced by Supt Karl Mathie
who said, in his remarks, that Prof.
Foster was a veteran lecturer on liquid
air and an old demonstration. 1t so
proved to be the case for he certainly
did explain everything to the satisfac-
ton of all present. He told how liquid
air was first formed, in drops, and at a
cost of $1,000 per gallon, and how it was
now produced at $500 for the same
amount. He explained how the air was
carried about in bottles of German in
vention. The bottles are made in var
ious sizes and are double, with vac
uum between the outer and inner bot
ties. This enabled the air TO be saved
for long time and to be carried about
the audience with very little evapora-
ton. He showed that there was moth
ing dangerous about the air unless it
was sealed up and then there would be
an explosion. Many wonderful demon
STATIONS were made of which the read
ers of the Pilot have all read about,
and for that reason it is Unnecessary
to enter into details. 1t was very sue
cessful and instructive entertainment
and all departed feeling that liquid air
was destined to become a great factor
in the world motive paper.
The Wausau high school, and
especially Prof. Mathie, have the
thanks of the community for this instruc-
tive'entertainment. 1t was a financial
success, the school clearing about 1920,
which will be applied upon the pur-
chase price of a new piano which the
school expects to have on hand for the
Easter concert.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.

At midnight, Sunday, Mrs. Herman
Marquardt died at her home over East
hill. She had been i'll for nearly two
weeks with pneumonia, which devel-
Oped into lung fever. Those who had
fingered near her bedside for the past
few days knew by unmistakable signs
that the end would shortly come. The
disease had secured such strong root
and her old age made it impossible for
her to recover.
Mrs. Herman Marquardt was one of
the best known citizens of this vicinity
She was one of Marathon county's
pioneers, having came here with her
husband, parents and brothers in 1857,
nearly half a century ago. They settled
in the forest, and by incessant toll,
cleared up the farm on which they have
since lived. She was, like nearly all of
those pioneers, open hearted and gener-
Gus to fault, and stranger never left
her door in want of food. Although
she had passed the age allotted to man
kind, she had been in good health up to
her recent illness, and had made trips
regularly to town to do her shopping,
and few knew that she had been ill
until they were appraised of her death.
Her maiden name was Marie Kick
busch, and she was born in Colberg,
Pomerania province, Germany, June
5th, 1881, and came to this country with
her parents when quite young.
Besides her husband, who is i'll at
present, she leaves children. William,
John, Fred, Ferdinand and Herman,
Mrs. Chas. Hopke and Mrs. Robert
Braatz, all of this city, also three broth
ers and one sister, August, Ferdinand
and Fred W Kickbusch of this city
aud Mrs. Frank Radiant, of Kilbourn
City.
The funeral services win take place
tomorrow afternoon from St. Paurs
church, which church deceased regu-
larly attended and Rev. +. Scbaer will
conduct the services.

our citizens take much pride, He has
pushed his way to the front by study,
close attention to business and his fit
ness for the profession. He has lived

which position he held for over ten
years. He took up the study of medi-
cine under DR.. D. Sauerhering, took a

the secretary thinks best.
The arrangement of the premium
list and other details were left to the
secretary.
The matter of securing expert judges
and herds of blooded stock VIII De
settled upon at a future meeting,
though the sentiment at the present

The next fair promises to be an eX-
cellent one, equal to any ever known
in the history of the society. All that
is needed is favorable weather, Tor
Secretary Anderson proposes not TO
leave stone unturned, but he cannot
contract for clear sky, balmy breezes
and just warm enough to make hob
nobbing" pleasant, and inspecting
exhibits and witnessing trials of speed
a great delight. Remember the dates,

Report of the Humane Agent for the
months of December and January, 1900
and 1901:
We are glad to report only eighteen
cases which belong strictly to the
humane society during these two
months, as compared with thirty cases
in October and November, 1900. 1t is
true that many cases which should be
repOr ed to the Poor Commissioner
have come before the agent, but in
every instance they were promptly re-
ferred to the proper official.
Perhaps it is because of its being a
new departure in our city that the
humane work and the duties of its
agent is so much misunder-
stood. However that may be, almost
every sort of grievance is brought to
the agent of that society, whether it
belongs to the poor committee, the
health officer, chief of police or the
municipal Judge. To illustrate:
A man from the country asked the
agent to swear out a warrant for the
arrest and prosecution of his neighbor,
for locking in bis barn the complain
ants horse, and causing it to suffer
from hunger and thirst. Another, a
resident of the west side thought that
the society should prosecute the person
why so cruelty tortured his pet dog to
death.
Now while we sometimes turn over to
the law offenders against mercy, and
justice, this is not essentially the pur-
pose of the spirit which animates the
humane work, and we wish that we
might be looked upon not as a mere
machine for inf1icting vengeance in
behalf of outraged innocence, but as a
restraining influence to the heedlessly
cruel, and occasionally to the deliber-
ately malicious and Intentionally cruel.
We do not ask for adulation or
financial support in this work. as much
as we ask for the moral support of all
good men and women in Marathon
| county.
1t is gratifying to know that the peo-
pie of our city and towns in the county,
are learning the value of the work
being done and the credit for this edu-
cation must be given to the press OF
Wausau. The editors of every paper
in the city, have not only published our
reports, but by frequent kindly crit
cism and words of appreciation, have
done much to create and foster the
proper spirit that dignities the
work
The following is an abridged report
OF some of the cases reported and in
vestigated:
l. Two cases of incorrigibles. Boil
are now in school.
