MAKING A REPUTATION.

During the past twelve months there
have been sentenced to the Waupun
state prison twelve prisoners. While
this would indicate that the coGnty OF
Marathon, usually quiet so far as Grim
inality is concerned, had suddenly be-
come bad, such is not the case. That
they were caught, prosecuted and sen
tenced was rather due to combination
of circumstances which have worked
for the benefit of law aud order. Mara
thon county, for some years past, has
enjoyed the reputation of being pos
sessed of as good lawyers as aLy county
IN the state, who can and do convict
criminals. During the present session
of circuit court four offenders were
given states prison sentences, which is
record breaker for any one term OF
court in this county. As stated before,
twelve are now doing time" who re-
ceived sentence within the past few
months. These are as follows
George Sexton. keeping house of i'll
fame, eighteen months.
Frank Schwantes, murder, life SEN
teDce.
Emil Brown, abduction. two years.
George Parsons, abduction, one
year.
John Harmon, burglary, four years.
Chas. Potter, burglary, four years,
Martin Glines, obtaining money un-
der false pretenses, one year.
Chas Schmeiser, larceny, four years.
Jacob Schaumberger, manslaughter,
five years.
w. Holbrook, burglary, three years.
Arthur johnson, burglary, one year.
Henry Day, incest, six years.
We have no figures to bear us out but
we believe this to be the greatest num-
Der of criminals ''sent up' in that time
from any one county in the state, unless
it be Milwaukee county. Providing
each of the seventy counties in the state
had done as well along this line $40
prisoners, or great many more than
the usual number confined at Waupan
would have suffered In legal circles
the county of Marathon has long en-
joyed the reputation of being possessed
of good lawyers and circuit judge who
does not stop half way. We have also
learned that the prison authorities at
Waupan think this tough county, and
claims this to be the banner county of
the state so far as convicting criminals
is concerned. That is because our
population is largely made up of men
subject to call on jury who are men
with a sense of justice, never fearing to
do what their conscience dictates.

ARM BROKEN.

Mrs Kate McIndoe met with a serious
accident, Monday afternoon. When
coming out of W. d. Harrigan's store,
she slipped and fell on the icy pavement
and broke the right arm in or near the
the shoulder socket The iujnry is very
painful and Mrs McIndoe has been con-
fined to her bed ever since. The full
extent of the injury is difficnlt to ascer-
tain on account of its location but her
friends all hope it will prove less serious
than it now seems.-Rhinelande

FROM THE MAYOR.

Mayor Marchetti has issued the fol-
lowing letter to the people of Wausau in
regard to the smallpox situation which
shows that there is no cause for alarm ::
To THE PEOPLE OF WAUsAU:-
The publication of the fact that the sum
of $4,000 was expended since April /, 1901,
| by the health department of the city has
caused some alarm among many of our peo-
! pie, who fear an epidemic. Let me assure
you that nothing has occurred to justify
such fear.
| 1t istrue that there were sporadic cases
of smS.! pox during the last year, with the
exception of about one month or six weeks,
after the first day of August, but prompt
attention on the part of the health officers
has prevented spread of the disease in
each instance. The same situation exists
now, and the report of the health officer
shows exactly the number of cases under
treatment, which is small indeed compared
to the number of inhabitants and the influx
of strangers. There is only one person in
the isolation hospital who is resident of
| Wausau, the others belonging to outside
/ territory.
In view of the fact, however. that the dis
ease exists and the mildneSS of the same in
nearly all cases causes the authorities IN
/ the surrounding territory to relax proper
sanitary measures, and people may come TO
| the city who are afflicted with the disease
urge upon all the people of WanSau. as a
means of prevention, to have at least all
| their children vaccinated who have not
been successfully yaccinated before The
experience of hundred years has proven
/ that vaccination is almost a sure means of
prevention, and such an experience is worth
a thousand more tnan some new theory of a
SenSati0nally inclined person or physician.
| Let the children be vaccinated and keep
everything around the house and yard clean,
and there is no need of any fear at all.
/ | publish herewith the report of the
/ health officer. which should allay all alarm.
and he informs me also that in all eases
which he has treated since April last there
was not one case where the patient had
| been successfully vaccinated.

LETTER TO ASSESSORS.

The daily sentinel., 1902-05-13

Every day in the state papers
there are accounts Of fatalities re-
sulting from small boys being all
lowed to carry fire arms. The
parents in nine cases out Of ten are
really the guilty parties in permits
ting dangerous weapons to be in
the possession of their children
There is question whether or not
the responsibility for the many ac>
cidents is not to be laid at the door
of the parents, rather than the child
who commits the crime. There
can be no reasonable excuse which
will guarantee any child the right
70 carry dangerous weapons, and
wherever such are found the
officers of the law should see that
they re taken away. This thing
of children running their parents in
these matters is inexcusabe and
no excuse for the parents who per-

An EXPLANATION.

There has been considerable dispute
regarding the use OF the Speer methods
OF teaching in the public schools of Chi
cago. Recently Mics Helen A. Dewey.
ono Of tho teachers in this oity, wrote to
w. w. Spser. the author Of the Speer in
structions and also one OF the district
superintendsnts OF the Chicago public
schools, asking him for information re-
QardinR the matter. The following let.
ter has been received in reply to her
communication:
Chicago, May 10. 1902.
Mise Helen A. Dewey,
Grand Junction, Colo.
My Dear Miss Dewey.-Through some
delay enroute yours Of the oath did not
reach me until yesterday.
In reply to your questions permit me
to say that the Speer arithmetic is the
locally adopted text for the entire city OF
Chicago through the fret four grades.
No other book is authorized in these
gradss-four years.
The success attending the use OF the
book is most gratifying.
In = city with . population greater
than that OF many states 1t can not be
expected that the same degree OF entnue-
iasm and excellence will be found in all
schools. This is equally true in the
teaching OF history, geography or any
other subject. In the schools where the
entire seriea Ia used principals assure me
that tho value OF the method is very ap-
parent in the higher grades.

from those who have personally inspect

way, address me at any time.

Paris, May II The Gaulois referring
to the vote OF 100000 by tho United

American cruiser to tho island, says:
"Of all friendly manifestations, the
most brilliant and the most touching are
certainly those OF the United Statee.
The great people beyond the ocean have
again proved that feelings of humanity
and generosity are among the noble
qualities upon which they pride them-

A Thousand Million.

M. Camille Flammarion, the we'll
known French writer on astronomy
mentioned at the last meeting OF
the French Astronomical society
that the Christion era has just CONS
p'eted its milliard OF minutes. Be
tween January Ist Of the year l and
April 18th OF the year 1902, at 6:Io
p m, he says that just one thous>
and million minutes have passed.
The statement suggests a realiz'
alton OF the meaning ofa thousand
million in the abstract, and still
more of thousand million in the
concrete form OF money. Mr.. John
d. Rockerfeller's fortune, for in,
stance, is generally estimated at
about two hundred million dollars,
or say, thousand million francs.
We all recognize that this is an
enormous quantity, but the trouble
with most Of US is that single
million seems almost as remote
from our possibilities as thousand
million, so that the larger sum does
not differentiate itself sufficiently
from the smaller.
Let US see. then, what Mr.
Rockefeller's fortune OF a thousand
million francs means. 1t means
that if man had been working
steadily day and night from the
birth of Christ to the present time
at the compensation of franc a
minute, his total earnings would
just now have reached the amount
of Mr. Rockefeller's pile. A franc
minute is very handsome pay. 1t
is SI2 an hour, or 5000 day. A
man getting $500 every day, from
the beginning OF the year 1 to the
present time, and consuming none
OF his earnings, would only just
now have as much as Mr.. Rocke>
TELLER has. Or. putting it in an
other way imagine a to wn contains
ing 900 working people, each earns
ing 81 a week. The total wages
earned by the people Of this town,
in successive generations all the
way from the time Of Christ to the
present day. would not exceed the
amount which one man has mans
aged to put by in the course of a
single life time. Truly thousand
million is a great sum.

When the man has been inside few
to the darkness. so that by looking
through the pane in the bottom, the
only point where light is admitted, he
is enabled to see to depth of 90 and
30 feet and distinguish objects lying
upon the bottom of the waterway.
As the hogshead is capable of holding
but little air. the man cannot remain
inside for long. As soon as he comes
out he takes the scull oar while his
companion goes inside to scan the
depths. In this manner many bodies
have been recovered and watches lost
overheard and cant dogs, which have
slipped from the hands of careless
drivers, have been restored to the light
of day.
The instrument which the lumber
men use has been called a water-scope,
term which is neither English or
Greek, though compounded from both
languages.
The name of its inventors unknown,
and there is no patent to protect the
idea. Woodsmen say it came into use
about % years ago. Previous to that
time the man who wished to spy upon
the floor of lakes and streams used a
wooden tube made of four narrow
boards. the lower end being provided
with light Of glass.
As boards are hard to find in the
wilds of Maine. while empty molasses
hOgsheads are to be had at every lum-
Der camp, the hogshead water-scope
was no doubt adopted because it was
the only thing available. Since the
first one was so constructed no other
kind will be used.

The men who drive logs along the
swift rivers and across the shallow
lakes of northern Maine lead lives that
are full of peril. At the sharp turns
of the rushing streams, where logs are
prone to run aground and form dan
gerous and expensive jams, men stand
in the cold water wais t-deep for hours
at time to fend off the oncoming tim
bers, and if one chances to meet with
a log under strong Roadway, he is fire.

On the lakes, where the RATS have
to be propelled by headwork and oars,
the danger is none the less imminent.
A misstep on rolling log or bad
calculation in leaping from one timber
to another means cold bath in the
lake, ar if no companions at hand to
give him lift, his death is but a ques-

PRODUCTS FROM BONES.
In Up-to-Date Establishments Every
BIT of Material les Utilized for
Various Purposes.

The economy which is practiced in
the average boarding house has be-
come proverbial, but it is eXtrava-
gance to the standard of economy
practiced at bone mill" The chief
product from bones is glue, and among
other materials which are obtained
from them are soap, glycerine and fer
tilizers. Nothing is wasted. Even the
most economical boarding house has a
few parings and husks to throw away.
There are no parings and husks in the
disposition of bones.
The first stage in the utilization of
bones is that of cleaning them. When
brought to the glue factory they are
apt to be covered with more or less
dried flesh and bits of foreign matter.
After being carefully culled over by
wOrkmen and broken by crushcrs they
are soaked in a weak solution of sui
phuric acid. From the soaking tanks
the bones emerge white and apparent
ly perfectly clean, but still redolent
with far-pervading OdUr. They are
then placed in what are termed digest
ers, or steam tanks, where, after being
subjected to a pressure of steam for
several hours, spigot is opened at the
bottom Of the digester and the liquid
glue is drawn off. The grease of the
bones, being lighter, is drawn off last
and separated from the first product.
The liquid glue is evaporated to a
strength of 10 per cent. gelatine, por-
ton of which is permitted to harden
for commercial use, as glue, and a part
is refined and sold for gelatine for
table use.
The grease is drawn off into cooling
tanks, where, in its crude state, it is
made into securing soaps. By pro-
cess of refining and the admiXture of
vegetable oils and perfumes, toilet
soaps are produced. The spent liquors
which are run off from the boiling SOAP
are utilized for the manufacture of
glycerine. The bones which are taken
out of the digesters are ground up for
fertilizing purposes, and the dirty
water in which they are cleansed is
boiled down and made into manure
From the beginning to the end of the
process not even an ounce of material
is wasted.-N. Y. Tribune.
