'Oh, no! The aches all gone. There
amt been any ache all day."
The big doctor looked across the bed
at Nurse Powell, but she was gazing
steadily through the open window. And
something bright and clear, like dia-
monds, shone on her long lashes.
A weak, piping voice raised again.
''No, amt achin' any place today,
only I'm dreadful tired. An every
once in awhile you an Nurse Powell
go a-slippin' an a-slippin' away from
me, an then feel like l was a-slippin'

Nurse Powells quivering lips tried
to form the notes of the nursery song
jimmy loved best, but something rose
in her throat and choked the melody.
Il wisht-you'd -that-sleepy
song"
The tired voice trailed off into 81

We're raised appeanngly TO those or the
white capped nurse.
The big doctor seemed to rouse him
self as from dream. He leaned over
and clasped Jinny's nerveless hand in
his great, warm one and then in a
clear tenor voice began to sing:
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea-"
The music foated over the cot, past
Nurse Powell, through the open door
and down the corridor to the ward,
where other sufferers heard and mar
veled, and over the face of jimmy stole
an expression Of infinite peace.
In that distant ward men who had
been battling with death turned their
faces toward the sinking sun and felt
that even amid pain it was good Just
to live and in Jinny's little room all
was silent. Nurse Powell was kneel-
ing beside the bed, her face hidden in
the pillow. The little hand she still
held was strangely limp and pulseless.

SAMPLE OF GOODNESS.

Since the advent of winter this sec
degree of mild weather-very little cold
and not enough snow for any practical
purposes. Indeed there has been such
a scarcity of both that lumbermen have
feared a financial loss in their winter
operations, and the cold timer" has
told you that it has been the most open
winter since 1876. But time brings
changes and the changes wrought the
past few days have been radical in the
extreme Saturday evening a snow
fall began, which continued into Sun
threatened blizzard on small scale.
Then the wind shifted and il turned
colder and the snow drifted, and when
the natives awoke Monday morning it
was to find the me rcury in their Their
mometers way down to some point, we
will not say Ehere, for there has been
such a divergence of opinion on that
subject Conditions this morning were
the same, only the GOODNESS had an in

busy thawing out pipes all day, as has

DIES SUDDENLY.

ltwas with surprise that the citizens
learned of Jake Adams death yester-
day morning for he had been seen on
the streets only recently and few were
aware that he had beenill. Some weeks
ago he contracted a cold, which he
neglected at the time, and kept at his
duties. The cold became worse and
finally developed into pneumonia, and
on Wednesday he was forced to go to
his bed. The disease had secured a firm
hold on him, and he failed rapidly, until
at about ! o'clock Monday morning
death ended his sutferings. Mr. Adam
had a large acquaintanceship in this
city, for he had been a resident here for
thirty years. He was born in Schuyl-
kill CO., Pa, March 18th, 1865; with his
parents he removed to Wausau when
about six years old From the time he
left school he held various positions,
and finally was made a member of the
fire department, and in 1892 worked
himself up to be chief of the depart
ment, holding that position four years
He was married seven years ago to Miss
Anna Dryer, of Marathon City. He
leaves besides his wife brother, Rhine
hardt, who is resident of the state of
Pennsylvania, and a sister, Caroline,
who resides in Milwaukee His mother
died when he was twelve years of age
and his father passed away six years
ago. Funeral will be held Wednesday
from the house, 500 Seymour street.

PRACTICALLY ASSURED.

From the way matters have now
shaped themselves, the outlook appears
bright for the commencement of work
on an electric line of railway between
this city and Merrill at an early date.
As stated last week there have been seq
eral parties in this section of late look
ing over the grounds and interviewing
farmers along the proposed route, In
regard to securing a right-of-way.
These men are working from both ends
of the route, and were in the city last
week interviewing men in this city and
enlisting the services of some prominent
in county affairs. Sunday some of the
county officials were out in the town of
Maine, and though they found some
opposition to the scheme, yet as whole
they seem satisfied with the project.
Most of the opposition is in regard to
what side of the wagon road the rail
road will be placed.
Some want it in the centre of the
wagon road. These officials arranged
for meeting to be held at the town hall
in the town of Maine Friday morning,
February 18th, at 8 O'Clock. AT this
meeting the agents of the corporation
will be present and address the farmers,
and the sentiment will be thus deduced.
We learn that from Merrill to the Mara
thon county line the right-of-way has
been assured the promoters. In the
town of Maine "A signers to the petition
have been secured, 30 being required.
The men back of'this scheme are men
of capital, push and enterprise, and
mean business. They are no less than
Chas. Pfster and Henry G.. Payne, of
Milwaukee, owners of the street car
line in that city. They ask nothing
from the farmers but the right to build,
giving them in return a uniform grade
for their wagon road, at no expense to
them, building culverts, moving fences
etc, where required. They are not
figuring on buying any electric plant
either here or at Merrill, but will utilize
the water power of the Wisconsin river
for motive power. Neither do they tig-
ure on building a line in this city for the
present but may ask for franchise
later, unless the Bundy, Frawley & Will
cox people get hump on themselves.
There is also a rumor in the air that
after next summer the St. Paul road
will not do all the carrying trade be-
tween this city and Granite Heights.
Those interested in the matter, and who
are in position to know claim that by
spring operations in railroad building
in this section will be humming, and
that it is no pipe dream but an assured
fact

THE TOMAHAWK DIRECTORY.

The PILOT Office is in receipt of the
first directory ever gotten out at Toma-
hawk. 1t is the work of w. ID. Lam
bert and H. Il. Wolslegel, both young
men who have resided in Wausau for
years, and the work was done at the
Tomahawk office. 1t is one of the fin
est directories ever gotten up in North
esn Wisconsin and replete with valu-
able information. The publishers have
not spared time nor money in getting
out the edition, as the many beautiful
half tone views of the surrounding
couptry would indicate. Such well
printed and admirably arranged dlrec-
tory is valuable in many ways to ones
library. That the work was well done
is testified by the Tomahawk in the
following language The name of
each resident is completely catalogued
with his residence and occupation.
This work was thoroughly and care
fully compiled and will be of great SER
vice when trying to locate any one of
our fellow citizens"
We congratulate Messrs. Lambert q
Wolslegel on The work and hope they
may come to Wausau and get out a
good directory for their home city.
Wausau needs an up-to-date directory,
one in which the publishers will have
sufficient enterprise and pride to run
in few photo engravings of surround
ing scenery. Arrange TO get out one
for Wausau and you will not regret it.

part of the face bone above his mouth

SUES FOR DAMAGES.

E. j. Pepke, formerly of this county,
now of Crary, N. d., was in the city
early last week 1t will be rem NIB red
that Mr. Pepke is the young m. Il that
got into trouble with the government,
through his having brought fourteen
diamond rings into this country from
the Philippines and not paying duty on
them. The rings were seized by gov
eminent customs officer, and Pepke
locked up in Jail, and when the case
was finally carried to the United States
supreme court the defendant was
awarded the decision, the Philippines
being held United States territory.
Mr. Pepke was on his way to Chicago
for two reasons: To secure possession
of his rings, and to commence action
against the government for $4,000 as a
balm for defamation of character, and
to cover the costs of former law suits.
He has retained the legal services of
Chas Eldridge former solicitor general
under President Harrison, and Law
renee Harmon, one of the leading attor.
neys in the case of Adolph Luetgert, the
sausage maker WHOM, it is alleged,
made sausage of his wife.

WAR ON SMALLPOX,
A Scare on at Appleton.-C Citizens Are
Begged to Assist in Stopping
Its Spread.

The following was taken from the
Chicago Tribune OF Sunday and speaks
for itself:
Appleton, Wis, Jan. 25-[Special. I
1t was estimated today by physicians
that there are 200 cases of smallpox in
the city, and tonight the physicians
signed an appeal to the people for aid,
without which they acknowledge their
inability to cope with the disease, so
greatly and rap,dly has it spread.
Fifty guards with special police au-
thorlty haye ior weeks been maintained
to enforc, quarantine, and red placarded
guardhouses on sleighs have been dis
tributed In front of residences all about
the city. Notwithstanding these pre-
cautions il has been impossible to check
the spread of the disease.
One man suffering from the disease
was discovered last night at a dance
and elected. Three others escaped
from a guarded house and mingled
with the crowds on the streets.
There has been few deaths, as most
of the persons stricken by the disease
had it in mild form. At Freedom, a
village six miles from Appleton, there
are reported to be sixty cases of small
pox."
The above shows what time is be-
ing had in other cities to control the
disease, and Appleton's experience is
but sample of what other cities in the
state are passing through. Wausau is
very fortunate in possessing health
officers who have been able to control
the disease, and they are to be con-
graduated upon the success of their
untring efforts. At present Wausau
only has four cases in the pest house.
