CLEAN UP.

During the winter months there is
vast quantity of dirt, refuse and other
matter that accumulates on the streets
and in the back yards and alleys OF
citizens, which, if allowed to stand, is
dangerous to the health of the cOmmu-
nifty. Cleanliness is next to godliness,
and it is much better to expend little
labor in this direction than to neglect
the matter and perhaps have doctors
bill to pay. Work should be instituted
at once along this line and should be
kept up until the city can truthfully
boast of cleanliness. There is an ord
nance relating to this matter, but it is
not enforced as it should be- 1t has
been proven that in model cities like
Pullman, ILL.,, and other cities of the
country, where ordinances relating to
the cleanliness of the town are most
rigidly enforced, that the per cent. of
cases of sickness, according to popula-
ton, when compared with other towns,
is very low. This was true at the time
of the siege of Paris, when the French
were cooped up in that city on short
rations and other conditions prevailed
that would naturally cause spread of
disease, yet during that time, as pre-
viOus and since, not vestige of dirt
was allowed to remain on streets, and
as a result very little sickness was re-
ported. Hardly a day goes by but
what there are wagons pass along Third
street, loaded with slabs, and more or
less of this wood falls off, and along
that portion which is macadamized, is
allowed TO remain.
1t is to he hoped that the inc oming
administration will take hold of this
matter and push the work vigorously
with a strong hand IAN iron hand if
necessary until Wausau becomes what
it should be-a model city in regard to
cleanliness in more sense of the word
than one.

former was a thorough artist and music
lover in his line, and the selections
rendered were such that anyone could
appreciate them. 1t seems tritc for an
ordinary reporter to try to say any
thing in praise of Prof. Reuter-, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Kickbusch, Jr.. and Misses
Heinemann. Harger and james, for he
could only repeat what has been so
often told before The teachers quar-
tette scored a strike, though their
second song, THE Tale OF Tack"
seemed to be more popular than
. Natures Rest, among the small boys
of the audience. Among the novelties Of
the program were an excellent Cecilian
solo by Z. III. James, the exercises in
rhythm work, and the zobO quartette.
The tiny youngsters in the illustration
of rhythm work did their parts well,
and brought forth hearty applause with
their graceful performance Of various
tasks in perfect time tothe music. The
zObo quartette rendered Schneider's
Band in a manner that captivated the
audience and made musical ears culver.
-Four Of the selections were appropriate
to the Easter season; Mr.. Kickbusch's :
baritone solo, Babylon, Ave Maria
by the Liederkranz, and tie high school
glee clubs two numbers, The Heavens
Declare the Glory Of Cod and the
Halleluiah chorus from Handel's mes-
siah. The audience arose and re-
mained standing during the singing of
the Halleluiah chorus, as is customary.
Altogether, the concert was a success
and much gratitude is due to the various
persons who so generously gave their
excellent talent 10 the making Of an
enjoyable evening.

The details of the much talked of
"Trip Around the World are fast be-
ing perfected and Saturday, the 18th of
April, will witness one of the most
unique entertainments ever given in
Wausau. The Carnival of Nations will
commence at O'Clock on the above
date and close at 10 o'clock P. NJ. The
cost will be S10O for each person. This
entities a ticket holder to admission
into each country represented, refresh
ments, etc. Some seem to think that
the price of tickets is little high, but
all should remember that the entire
proceeds are to go towards building
our free public library, as each society
donates its part of the entertainment.
Many will not care to place their names
on the list for $100, but in attending
the Carnival they can give their dollar
and get the worth of their money. We
must all be little generous if we wish
to have the best in school buildings,
churches, public library, Opera House,
etc. 1t is only short time ago that
our citizens purchased $50 tickets at
$1,000 each, that we might have an
Opera House. So let every one take
the "Trip Around the World" and pay
the cost with the assurance that it will
go towards a most worthy cause. Wau-
sau, has nearly 1900 souls, and if one
half took the trip it would go a long
way toward giving us the public library
building. The entertainment is under
the auspices Of the Ladies Literary
Club; they have only issued 500 tickets
and the proper thing to do will be to
make them issue about 2 600 more to
to meet the demands.
Anyway, the affair is going to be well
worth the seeing. There has been a
change in the places where the different
nations will hold forth, owing to sick
ness, etc. AS arranged now, the follow
ing place of worship and homes will be
thrown open:
Ireland-Universalist church.
Japan and China-Walter Alexander's
Turkey-C. j. .Winton's.
America-C. S. Curtis.
Cuba-J. c.. Smiths.
Germany and Holland-W. H.
Mylrea's.
The way il which to find the differ
ent nations, will be by flags represent
Tnc al, f1n
weather is favorable, the homes will be
decorated with the colors of each coun-
try.
The reader can imagine how each
nationality will have its place of
rendezvous arranged by reading the
following brief descriptions:
Ireland will, of course, be profusely
decorated in green. Ladies and gentle.

nettes of our city are among those who
will look to the comfort of the trayelers

(BenSonS Plaster Is Pains Mastsr,)

For coughs and colds Benson's Porous
Plasters are an incomparably better rem
edy than any other-external or internal.
Their medicinal properties enter the skin
and go straight to tile seat Of the disease. J
They relieve and cure "seated" cold
without disturbing the system Or upsetting
the stomach. Cough mixtures often nau-
seate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in
the highest degree, and quickest to act.
Placed on the chest or back or on both
at once in serious cases, the good effect is
feltimmediately. The congestion yields, the
cough abates and the breathing improves.
Lung or bronchial affections or kidney
disease, are cured with the least possible
suffering and loss of time.
Benson's Plasters are immeasurably SUI
perior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Cap
sicum or any other combination in plaster
form. They are also preferable to ONT
ments, liniments and salves.
Benson's Plasters have received ffIy-fge
highest aaOGrdS over all competitors; and
more than 5000 physicians and druggists
have declared them to be one of the few
trustworthy househol l remedies. For sale

To the Conquered.

sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the
battle of life
The hymn of the wounded the beaten, who died
overwhelmed in the strife;
Not the iubiant song of the victors, for whom
the resounding acclaim
OF nations was lifted in chorus, whose brows wore
the chaplet of fame,
But the hymn of the low and the humble, the
weary and broken in heart,
Who strove and who failed, acting bravely silent
and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower on its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize they had
grasped at, who stood at the dying Of day,
With the work of their life all around them, I'M
pitied, unheeded, alone,
With death swooping down Ger their failure, and
all but their faith oVerthrown.
While the voice Of the world shouts its chorus. its
pean for those who have won;
While the trumpet is sounding triumphant. and
high to the breeze and the sun
Gay banners are waving, hands capping, and hur-
rying feet,
Throwing after the laurel crowned victors-l stand
on the field of defeat
In the shadow, mong those who are fallen and
wounded and dying-and there
Chant requiem low, place my hand on then
pain knotted brows, breathe prayer,
Hold the hand that is helpless and whisper, They
only the victory win
Who have fought the good fight and have
pushed the demon that tempts us within;
Who have held to their faith unseduced by the
prize that the world holds on high;
Who have dared for high cause to suffer, resist,
fght-if need be, to de-
Speak, history Who are lifes victors2 Unroll
thy long annals and say
Are they those whom the world called the victors
who won the success of day.
