Police Called to the Home for Over

The police reserves were called out
last night to quell riot among the
inmates of the Home for Overworked

the big assembly hall on the top floor,
where banquet was served to the in
mates in celebration of the 18th ami

when Potted Plants and Cut Flowers

was only mild dispute as to age, but

to the window and shrieked madly for
assistance. She, too, was helped down
the fire escape by Spot Where Body

The rest of 913 inmates stayed to
fight it out.
The bed-ridden Evident Refinement,
too old to sit at the table at all, but
who had been brought in on a cot to
enjoy the festivities, was trampled into
insensibility. Drunkard's Grave united
the strings of her lace cap and famed
her vigorously until she revived. Her
gratitude was pathetic.

LOcKJAW AND ITS CAUSES.
Countries Where 1t Is Most Liable to
Occur.

Countries Where 1t Is Most Liable to
Occur.
Lockjaw, or tetanuS, is disease
which fortunately is more read about
than seen, yet it is not very rare, at
least in it's mild form. 1t occurs more
frequently in children than in older
people, and oftener in boys than in
girls; but this is probably only be-
cause boys are more liable to cut and
scratch themselves, for it is aftec
such injuries that lockjaw usually oc
ours.
The disease is more common in
some countries than in others, Eng
land being one of the countries and
Cuba another in which it prevails to
much greater extent than in the
United States. Here, too, some states
and some portions of states have an
unenviable pre-eminence in this re-
gard.
The trouble usually begins with a
stiffness and tendency to contraction
in the muscles which bring the teeth
together, and with the progress of the
disease it becomes Impossible to open
the mouth; hence the popular name
"lockjaw." The other muscles of tho
face soon become affected in the sams
way and after them the muscles OF
the neck, the trunk and the eXtrem-
tiles. According as one or another
set of muscles is the strongest or
most firmly contracted, the arms and
legs will be thrown into constrained
positions, and the body will be bent
forward or backward or to one side.
When these spasms, which are
usually painful are very severe and
tinuous, tetanus is usually fatal. For
tunately, however, this is the less
common form of the disease. In the
usual milder variety the spasms are
less severe and less frequent, and
soon, with proper care, begin to be.
come less and less marked until they
finally cease entirely.
Lockjaw is caused by a poison ex.
creted by microbe which is found
| in the soil, especially near stables and
| in manure heaps.
This poison, which is somewhat like
strychnine in it's effects, is absorb I'd
into the system through wound
made with a rusty nail or other dirty
object, or through wound which has
been soiled with earth or bound ur
with a dirty rag. Sometimes. espe
cially in tropical countries like Cuba
the disease comes on after a wetting
or a sudden chill even when there is
no wound of the skin so far as can be
seen, or it may follow insect bites.
A person with lockjaw must be
kept perfectly quiet and shielded
from anything that may bring on 6
| paroxysm, such as touch, jolt o.
the bed, or even a strong draught o.
air. The treatment belongs directly
to the physician, for tetanus is too
serious malady and too rapid in it!

with domestic remedies. The fata
cases usually last only four or five
days, but the milder forms may con
tinue for two weeks before recover.

According to Harpers Weekly, Eng
land is looking forward to the fiercest
municipal contests the kingdom has
had for years. There is not an alder
man in the whole realm who does not
want to be mayor of his respective
town because it has been announced
that every mayor in the United King
dom will be linighted when Edward is
crowned king Whether Edward him
self will personally bestow the accolade
does not appear, but as he is going to
revive all the ancient ceremonies con-
nected with the coronation it seems no
more than fair that he crafty the in
tense desire of so many loyal subjects.
Only one thing could increase the hap
piness of John Bull when he is knight
ed, and that is to receive his knight
hood from his sovereigns hand. 1t
would be unkind in the king to disap-
point the honored gentlemen.

The first case of tapping the wires"
of wireless telegraphy, if the Irishism
may be pardoned, has been reported.
During the recent French naval name
uvers in the Mediterranean the cruiser
Bouvines was entering at the Straits of
Gibraltar when its wireless telegraph
apparatus recorded the fact that in the
vicinity was another ship similarly
equipped The Bouvines, thinking that
the other ship belonged to the French
fleet began to talk to it, and the other
ship replied. There was, so to say, a
confusion of tongues. and after few
minutes the Frenchman discovered
that instead of talking to a compatriot
il was an Englishman "at the other
end of the wire" The report. or so
much of it as has been published, un-
fortunately does not tell how far apart
the two ships We're, but the cpl
sode reveals the interesting possibili-
ties of what might have happened had
the two nations been at war. Ii. such
a case the Marconi syatem coulo have
been both a source of danger and Of
safety to the Frenchman. 1t would
have warned him of the presen,e of a
foe hitherto unsuspected, and If, as
might happen, the Englshman had
possession of the Frenchman's secret
code, the latter might have been drawn
into a very pretty trap 1t is 4 point
for naval experts to discuss, and doubt
less it wiu lot pass unnoticed.

WAUSAU TRACK MEET.
Our High School Boys are Defeated by Score
of "a to Sd.

After having been defeated by the
Howe High school in athletics during
the past few years, the WauSau Higf
school with supreme effort won the
track meet in which our boys partici
pated last Saturday.
Wausau took ten first places anC
eight second places, while Grand
Rapids captured six firstS and eight
seconds. There were sixteen events

respectively and 3, The score thus
stood: WauSau, IA; Grand Rapids, 54

was not allowed to run by Wausau. as
he belonged to the eighth grade, Then
too WauSau was given sixteen points
in the two bicycle events, our boys
having no one to enter in these races
These are merely facts and are not
meant to excuse Grand Rapids defeat
The rule in regard to eight graders
is not very plain, but Mr.. Parlin and
other members of the interscholastiC
executive committee have interpreted
it only to include high school scholars
Mr.. Parlin, however, has right tC
make concession and the fact that
Grand Rapids had on one occasion
allowed eight graders to play on Wau-
sau'S foot ball team caused our boys tC
expect similar favor. This point
was urged, and also the fact that
WauSau practically would be presented
with sixteen points for the bicycle
races. But Mr.. Parlin was firm in his
position of not allowing Don Shaw to
take part in the meet. The only con-
ISOLATION Don could get was to Ego
home and continue practice until
next year"
The day was not the kind that would

One of the most exciting events was
the 100-yard dash. Earl Brennan lost
the race only by few inches. Second
places in the 440-yard and mile runs
were taken by Wood and Muir. The
hurdle races were easily won by Earl
Crawford. Earl Brennan and Fred
Bunge gave fine display Of how to
throw the discus, which resulted in
eight points for their team. In the
running high jump Wood and Craw-
ford divided honOrS; in the broad jump
Wood took first place and Johnson,
second. The first honor in the pole
vault was taken by Jenkins, and john
son surprised the spectators by carry
ing away a good second in the shOt-put.
