DEATH OF EMMA BERGER.

The death of Miss Emma r.. Berger,
which occurred at her home in this city
at 1916 o. clock last Wednesday morn
ing May 28th, 1902, was great shock
to her parents, sisters and brothers and
caused very deep sorrow throughout
the city, for she was very highly es-
teemed and great favorite with all
who had the honor of her acquaintance.
Miss Berger was taken i'll one year ago
with appendicitis and from which she
never fully recovered, though able to
be about and attend to her school work.
About a month ago there was slight
recurrence of her trouble and as il
grew worse she consulted the family
physician who recommended an opera
ton as the only chance of saving her
life. The operation was performed one
week ago last Saturday, and was very
successful and she improved until
Tuesday, when there was change for
the worse, and Notwithstanding all that
loving hands could do, and expert medi-
cal skill could accomplish, she passed
into the great beyond.
In Miss Berger's death, the home loses
cheerful, loving and devoted daugh.
ter and sister, and the community love
ly character; q young lady whose chiei
aim was to do good to humanity and
she was never so happy as ,when SC
occupied. She was a valued member
of the First Methodist church of thi:
city, and also of the Epworth League
and she was a very earliest worker IL
both SOCIETIES.
Miss Berger was born. in DePere OF
the I'd day of December, 1877, and came
to Wausau with her parents sixteer
years ago, and this has been her home
ever since. She attended our city
schools until she was II years ole
and then commenced her work as &
teacher. For four years she taught
what is known as the Mosinee Hill
school and for three years past, ha:
been teacher in the schools at Soho
field and was greatly beloved by hel
pupils. She leaves father, mother
three sisters and two brothers to mourn
her loss.
The funeral was held from the home
on Decoration Day, Friday, May Both
alto clock A. NJ, the Rev. Frank A
Pease officiating The profusion Of
beautiful floral designs sent in-tribute:
from loving friends-attested stronger
than words to the great esteem in which
deceased was held in the community.
Besides the services conducted By
Rev. Pease, Rev. Mueller, pastor of the
German NJ E. church of this city, in 3
brief address, paid glowing tribute tC
the memory of deceased.
The pail bearers were as follows

VOLCANIC ERUPTION FEARED.
But the Citizens of Wausau are Not
Yet Moving Out of Town to
Any Great Extent.

The following dispatch to the Milwau-
waukee Free Press, published the early
part of last week, set Wausau people to
thinking that perhaps old Rib Hill
might take it into its old hoary head, to
belch forth lava, mud and cinders and
bury Wausau and all itsI Inhabitants,
and there has been close watch kept
Of the old hill, and while there hasn't
been general exodus, a few have gone,
some to Europe, others to the lakes.
A good big fire bHilt upon some of the
exposed points of the hill would no
doubt start everybody on run for Mer-
rill,-the nearest point where there is
an unlimited supply of food and where
live generous whole-souled people.
The following is the dispatch that
worked us all up:

MOSQUITO EXPERIMENTATION.
Use for Goldfish by a Man Who
Made a Water-Ga

What shall we do with the water
| garden which appears so perfectly suit
ed for raising mosquitoes? Shall we
fill it UP, drain it off or pour Oil upon
it's troubled waters? II his pond should
prove as great a source of pleasure to
the reader as mine has been to me, he
will be loath to adopt any of these radi-
cal measures. Repeated and diligent
search had failed to reveal the presence
of any mosquito larvae in my pond,
and this seemed all the more strange
when, in the quiet waters of the brook,
not fifty feet away, discovered thous-
ands of active "wrigglers." 1t seemed
probable that the goldfish We're hold
ing the mosquitoes in check in the ar
tiflcial pond; while in the brook the
insects We're breeding in comparative
safety.
To test the correctiveness Of this
theory, l took from the pond a small
goldfish and placed it in an aquarium
where it could feed upon mosquito
larvae and under observation. The re-
suit was as anticipated. Whenever
they were dropped into the water the
"wrigglers" disappeared in short
time.
When it is once understood that gold
fish are useful, as well as ornamental
and comparatively hardy, it is to be
hoped that they will be introduced in
to many small bodies of water, such as
lily-ponds and water gardens, where
mosquitoes are likely to breed In my
experience these fish can easily be rear
ed in any sheltered pond where the
water is shoal and warm.
