Oil, and All Pain Disappeared
Irnn1ediateIv

1t is undoubtedly a fact beyond dis
pute that the strongest advertising
medium the proprietors have is that of
people who recommend others to use
st. Jacobs Oil. People who have them
selves experienced a happy result
which invariably follows the use OF
this great remedy, show their grati-
tude by recommending 1t to those
whom they know are similarly affect
ed. This is the case of Margaret Lee,
of II Brightfield road, Lee Green, Wis.
Having suffered from muscular
rheumatism for years, and not receiv-
ing any benefit from various remedies,

ness removed at once; no return Of

Cunning insects Disproved Carefully
Elaborated Theory.

The late Charles Voorhees,, long
prominent in city and state politics.
returned from a summer at Atlantic
City complaining bitterly of the dis
comforts he had suffered. He said
that, hearing mosquitoes do not fly to
any great height, he determined to
take the topmost suite of rooms he
could find. The highest hotel on the
island had desirable suite at the top;
but they were occupied, and Voorhees,
had to pay a big premium in order
to get the occupants, two young ar
lists who liked the light, to move.
"And that attic was more expen-
sive" Voorhees, complained, than the
finest suite on the island would have
been, and here / am simply spotted
from head to foot with mosquito
bites"
But" asked a friend, ''how about
the theory that the pests don't fly
aigh?"
Neither they do" answered voor-
hees. THE theory's all right. But

The blackbird, always skulking near
bushes and diving into them with his
chattering outcry at the alarm of a
hawk, renders public service to such
wild life in general as holds birds or
beasts of prey in dread. The human
poacher knows and hates him, too,

Ia VERY NARROW POLICY.
The City Council Passes Resolution to Ask the County
Board $1,000 For Laying Water Mains to the
New Agricultural School Building.

Marathon county is building. in the
city of Wausau, County School of
Agriculture at cost to the county of
nearly twenty thousand dollars. The
west side, by small subscriptions, raised
over two thousand dollars to purchase
site for the school, and the city at
large has not been asked to contribute
a cert toward the establishment of this
institution other than what will be paid
through taxation as part of the
county. 1t must be conceded that the
location of the school here is of consid-
cradle benefit to this city and the least
that should be expected of the city
would be spirit of liberality toward
the county in this matter.
Last February, the building commit
tee petitioned the common council for
an extension of the water mains of the
city to the school grounds, expecting
that the main would be provided in the
usual way and that when the water
was in the building the county would
pay regular rental just as any con-
sumner pays.
Now comes the common council

went an operation at the Rive, de last
week for chronic ailment. Size is now
on the road to recovery.
John Koloshinski, was brought to the
Riverside Sunday. from the Yawkey
Lumber CO. $ mill at Ha4elhurst, where
he met with injury. The,Inan while at
work in the mill met with an accident
whereby he was thrown against one of
the saws which cut his left thigh open
to the bone. Luckily the bone was not
injured and the man will soon recover
On the Goth of this month the general
meeting of the directors of the hospital
association will be held At that time
, the question of building will come up
and perhaps be decided and from ex-
pressions of opinion on the subject from
those in position to know we are led
to believe that the directors will decide
upon plan that has been devised, viz:
To purchase a new site and erect new
hospital building on modern and inn
proved plans. The present building is
not large enough to accommodate all
patients at some periods of the year,
and the rooms originally were built too
small, and the building as it now stands
has settled six inches in the center. OF
course to put up the building intended
would necessitate the outlay of great
deal Of money, more than the associa-
ton has on hand, and ways and means
will have to be provided for raising
money.
Only thirteen patients are receiving
treatment at the hospital now.

MRS. P. A. DRlSCoLL

Sunday morning at about 1890 Sarah,
wife of Pat A. Driscoll, died at her horae.
in the old Pat Delaney residence on
Second street She was a victim of
quick consumption and less than a year
a,ro apparently was healthy women.
Early in the fall of last year she con-
tlacted severe cold and pulmonary
trouble followed which developed rapid
", and it was not long ere she was so
weakened that she could scarcely speak
above a whisper. She was removed to
a Fond du Lac sanitarium, but the
change did her no good, and about two
months ago she was returned home
with the acceptation of the knowledge
that she was not long for this world

with a resolution to put in main BY a
roundabout way at cost of about
fifteen hundred dollars, to be paid one
thru by the city and two-thirds by the
county. In other words the county is
to build a water main that will be
owned by the city and pay water
rental besides. This was doubtless
done with the thought that it was alb
solutely necessary for the county to get
connection with the city system and
that hold up for thousand dollars
would be the ''smart" thing to do.
The building committees petition
was business proposition and it is to
be regretted that the council was not
endowed with sufficient intelligence to
treat it as such. When it comes to
game of hold up' it shori1 be remem-
bered that the county has the best of it
two to one.
The county, under present condi-'
tions. has but two things to do. Put in
a private water plant to supply the
needs Of the building and regret the
that compelled the location of
this institution in this city.

COUNCIL MEETING.

A special meeting of the city council
was held last evening and the follow
ing business transacted:
| Twenty-Five residents of the Ninth
ward presented petition praying that
the creek which passes through Dun
bars and Mary Poor's additions to the
city of Wausau be covered in some way
or put under ground as they termed
it.
Tie petition of residents along Second
street asking that that street be macad-
amized from Grant to McIndoe was re-
ferred TO committee.
&. Paulos, fruit dealer, asked per-
mission to erect within the fire limits a
wooden fruit stand Skis feet in size and
to use same for period of five months
the location being on the old Music
Hall property. The petition was re-
ferred to a committee.
A committee announced that it had
through the agency of j. N Manson ac-
cepted the bond of the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Co. of Baltimore
for City Treasurer Lemke paying on a
SAC, 600 bond the sum of 500 per annum.
A resolution was offered by Alder
man Burke allowing the payment of $50
to each of the newspaper publishers of
the city in consideration of which they
were to publish an abbreviated report
of the doings at each council meeting.
A vote was taken on the matter and the
resolution lost.
A committee reported that it had Sc
lected the Office room of the water de-
partment as an office for the city treas
urer.
The committee to whom had been re-
ferred the matter of matchmaking
Fourth street from Forest to Scott at a
width not to exceed twenty feet report
ed that in its opinion the street ought
to be paved full width.
Recognizing the fact that the east side
engine house is in very bad state of
repair at present the council author
lied the making of several improve
ments, one of which is the lowering of
the hose drying tower to about half ITS
present height; it is feared that it may
tumble down some day.
City Comptroller Sell recommended
that $4,000 OF the sinking fund be trans
ferred to the general fund inasmuch as
he has found the latter to be now over
drawn, and the same to be replaced by
the tax levy of this year
Chief of Police Malone reported the
city calaboose to have held 81 prisoners
last month and these paid fines amount
ing to $2S.
The petition of Dennis German,
police captain, to have his salary raised
from S52 30 to $50 per month was I'M
fayorably reported on by a committee
for the reason that it was not thought
advisable to single out one individual
on the force for a raise, so it was stated,
and the city could not at present stand
general raise.
Alderman Sam Quaw thought there
was too many dogs in town and was of
the opinion thai tax put on them
would lessen the number. No action
was taken at this meeting.
a committee reported that it was of
the opinion that the city bad been pay
ing too mucn for medical attendance of
smallpox patients, and that lit was
also thought the contract of DR..
Kitzke TO attend to such service for the
sum Of S25 per week was too high and
should not be accepted.
The regular May meeting will be
held this evening and regular m ceilings
will be held Thursdays hereafter.

RESERVATIONS FILLED.

At the meeting of the council hello
last evening vacancies were filled Id
city offices which had been caused by
designations. VIM. Bremel, who had
been appointed street commissioner
resigned for the reason that when he
accepted it was with the understanding
that he was to serve for eight months;
but when later the council limited his
work to four months he found it would
be more profitable for him to follow his
trade, that of carpenter Ex-policeman
Fred Sell was elected last evening to
fill the vacancy.
The election of two justices of the
peace at the spring election was mis-.
take, for the reason that there were no
vacancies to be filed, James Haskin
and 9. M. Fleming holding over The
mistake was only recently discovered.
and as neither of these gentlemen had
ever opened offices or cared to serve
they decided to resign and leave the
office open to be filled by someone else.
The balloting last night resulted in the
election of j. G.. Clarke and j. A. Jones.
The former was one of the candidates
elected at the last election, while the
latter was defeated.

THE RISING TIDE
OF IMMIGRATION.

However firmly the gates of our
Pacific ports may be locked against I'M
desirable immigrants from Asia, there
is no immediate prospect of measures
To check the incoming at the Atlantic
ports of the great stream of immigra-
ton from Europe, the character OF
which does not tend to grow more de-
slrable from year to year. The arrivals
at Ellis Island, our immigrant station
in New York harbor, have been very
heavy indeed this spring, and the pres
ent year promises to bring greater
number of recruits to our shores than
we have received in any one season for
ten years. The proportion of immi-
grants from eastern and southern
Europe is constantly increasing. The
element in our recent immigration, and
next to them come the people of vari
GUS races inhabiting the Austro Hun
garian empire, while the third largest
contingent comes from the dominions
of Russia, most of these, however, being
Poles and Russian Jews. We have
been getting as many Greeks during
the last year OF two as Englishmen and
Scotchmen. For that matter, the
Syrians and Armenians who come 20
this country are decidedly more num-
erous than the Englishmen. The Ger
mans and the Irish continue TO come in
substantial numbers, but in nothing
like SUCH volume as IN former years.

send good number of people each
