TO THE EDITOR OF THE PILOT:
| read in your paper the following
esterday afternoon Annie Oscar, of
Schotield, rode up to Schoeneberg'
store on Third street, and left her bicy-
Gle standing against the curbing A
farmer, whose name was not learned
backed into the wheel, making com
plete wreck of it, He never stopped to
find ont what the damage was, but
drove rapidly away -
Now. the fact is, the farmer did not
back his wagon into that bicycle
the team was standing quietly in front
of W. f. Collins hardware store, and
the farmer was sitting in his wagon
waiting for some packages to be
brought out to him, the wind was qui e
strong and blew up newspaper. or a
part of one, which came rapidly Il
wards the horses it frightened them,
and of course they backed up to get
away from the horrible object that was
lying towards them, in spite of all the
farmer could do to prevent it, and there
was no power on earth to make those
horses do anything but back up until
that paper had passed by Now, who
is TO blame, the farmer, the wind, the
newspaper, or the city for allowing pa
per OF every description to lie around
upon the streets of Wausau, and to fly
about in every direction, upon the
slightest breeze? JOHN FELTIs.

FOREST FIRES.

The beautiful days and dry winds the
past week has taken away every trace
of snow in the woods and made every
thing as dry as finder. In places, dead
grass was set on fire, or has caught on
fire accidentally and the result has been
some threatening forest fires. Over at
the foot of Rib hill lastevening there was
quite blaze in the woods, which for a
time looked as if it would burn out. the
whole neighborhood, but by hard work
the settlers managed to stop the fire.
If the dry weather keeps up there will
be many damages by forest fires in our
vicinity 1t behooves everybody, es-
pecially those that live near the forests,
to be exceedingly careful and watch
that fires do not get started.

Thursday evening at the Riverside
hospital of consumption. She had been
a resident of the city for the past nine
months. She came here from ArnOtt,
Portage county, last August with her
son, aged ten years, and man named
Chas. Richmond, for whom she had
been keeping house on farm for many
years past. The Richmond family it
appears were not the best kind of peo-
Pile to mix up with. The mans wife
left him some time since and married
a Chas st. Claire and is living here.
and after the Douglas woman had
worked faithfully for the family all
these years, and was on her death bed
with consumption no aid of any kind
was extended her by the Richmonds.
The son of the dead woman has been
given a home, where he will be prop
erly cared for. The woman was buried
by the city at four O'Clock Friday after
noon.

cult court for trial, being required to
furnish bail in the sum of $500 for his
appearance. His wife died some time
ago, leaving him with five small chill
dren to provide for, but it is alleged he

rested during the winter on the same
charge, but was allowed 60 go upon
promise of doing better, and for 9

ure due to state Insurance..
For twenty years Germany has tried
general compulsory insurance of
Workmen against illness. Different
branches Of industry-mines, manufac-
lures, building trades and hand trades
have their own insurance funds, and
there are also the old registered So
ciet1es. Then, to cover the remaining
industrial population, there are general
public funds established for the sep
arate localities, grouped in districts,
and If these are inadequate the local
corporation itself becomes the insur-
ance office.
The rate Of contributions depends
on the rate Of earnings. It varies from
2 to 3 per cent of the average earnings
Of each class Of workmen, but in the
case OF the corporations it is from ! "
to per cent Of the wage Of the or
binary day laborer. Two thirds Of the
amount Is payable by the person in
sured and one-third by the employer
The benefit Is payable for not more
than thirteen weeks; it includes medi.

pay beginning from the third day Of
