PARKER ENDED THE APATHY
Wide Difference in Claims of Mana
gers Leads Both to Hope for
Success.

New York, Nov. With sensation
al and dramatic exchanges of charges
and replies between the candidates
one of the most remarkable presiden'
tial campaigns of recent times was
practically brought to a close Satur
day night. The whirlind finish predict
ed two months ago has been realized.
The usual features of a candidate at
tacking his opponent in office and fore
ing him into making a reply, followed
by a rejOinder from the candidate. is a
novelty and furnishes the main topic
of conversation where politics are dis.
cussed.
Parker Has Pleased.
The appearance of Parker on "a
public platform marked an epoch in
the political campaign of 1894, for up
TO that time it had been apathetic and
uninteresting. From his first speech
to the last he has been growing more
and more vigorous, and more direct
in his assertions, to the elatiOn of dem
ocrats who have clamored for more
life and ginger in the canvass.
The republican canvass lacked in

and men close to the president, be-
gan making replies to Parker's charg-
es. but their part in it was insignifi-
cant, compared to the bomb exploded
by Roosevelt in his statement printed
Saturday.
Republicans Were silent.
Silence has marked the management
of the republican campaign. But one
pronouncement or claim has been
made by any official of the republican
national committee, and nearly every
doubtful" state was displayed in the
republican column. This was prompt
ly answered by democratic managers
with a claim of the same doubtful
states and a sure majority in the cleo
tOral college.
The wide difference in claims has
furnished sufficient doubt to give the
followers of both candidates confident
hopes of success. and to keep the in
terest of partisans keen until the re-
suit is known. Up to within three
weeks of election the campaign was

A CITY OF HEALTH.

The annual report of the health com
missioner, Dir. Sauerhering, shows that
during the year, 6Sl births and sol deaths
were reported; there were 100 bodies
brought 10 the city for interment, max
ing total of 443 burial permits issued
Cases of contagious diseases for the pres
ent year, 1904, are divided AS follows.
smallpox, 1; diphtheria, 80; scarlet
fever, 3. OF the few eases of typhoid
fever, the greater number were inn
ported from other localities, while the
lesser number were traced TO the use of
well water, which proves that our city
water Is wholesome. Deaths from con
sumption are about on an average with
other cities of like size, but deaths from
pneumonia have been unusually numer-
ons, owing to the rigorous winter The
diphtherla of the past winter was of a
very malignant form, and its spread
was caused by one child attending
school while one of the other members
OF the family was afflicted with the dis
ease. OF the 80 cases, there were Is
deaths. All school houses have been
disinfected at times, and the commits
sioner has inaugurated the plan of fumi-
eating houses where deaths from con-
sumption have occurred One of the
serious problems met by the health
department is plan to reduce the dan
ger from disease breeding pig pens
and cow stables, and it viii ever be a
problem until more stringent ordinances
are passed and enforced to cooperate
with the health department in lessening
the evil.

TIE UP YOUR DOG.


Mayor Zimmerman has decided to
put in force again this summer, the dog
ordinance of the last administration
and In this action he is supported by the
general public OF course there are a
few chronic kickers who will protest,
but then there is more or less opposition
TO any public movement until people
become accustomed to it, Wausau,
during the time the dog ordinance was
IN force last summer, was model city
IN one respect at least-it was Utopian
in the fact that restrictions are placed
on dogs in al well regulated Utopias.
But the merits of the ordinance were
not fully recognized until after the ban
had been lifted, and dogs were again
allowed to run at large, after the 18th
of November last.
Mayor Zimmerman has re-appointed
Andrew Peterson as dog catcher, under
the same conditions as last year. and
he will begin his duties Monday morn
ing, May I'd. We have heard some peo-
pie advocate the passage and enforce
ment of cat ordinance, drawn on sim
liar lines, and the suggestion might
meet with the approval of those whose
slumbers are awakened on mid-su INNER
nights by the gay and festive Thomas

READY FOR DRIVING.

From those who are in position to
know, we learn that most of the ice is
out of the Wisconsin river for some dis
tance north, and lumbermen are cast
ing around looking for crews TO begin
log driving, though it may be some
time before all Of the tributaries in the
northern country are opened up. At
Brokaw the ice was frozen TO great
depth in the pond aud would not yield
to the effects Of warm weather. lit
tie dynamite was consequently
used To clear the pond The water
is at lower stage at present than is
usual at this time Of the year, and un
less rain showers come. there is liabii-
ity of log drives being hung up for
the want Of water. In that ease, how
ever. the Wausau saw mills arc pretty
well supplied Wits logs 10 keep running
into the summer, for most Of them
hauled by rail during the winter
months. The Alexander Stewart Co
has several million feet banked near the
wafer works station and the Jacob
Mortenson Co. viii. as in the past sew
erai years, continue 10 receive each day
during the summer several trains loaded
with logs, sufficient to supply its mills.

At the last regular monthly meeting
of the board of educa lion Supt Karl
Mathie introduced a resolution recon-
mendiEg that hereafter all candidates
for positions in the graded schools of
our city must show evidence that they
have completed one of our high school
courses, or one equivalent to them, and
in addition show that they have taken
a two years course of training in
a state normal school or two years of
some collegiate course, or have had two
years of successful teaching experience
one of which must have been in grad
ed school, This will insure maturity,
culture and success on the part OF new
teachers. For kindergartners, the
also required with graduation from
some accredited training school for
kindergartners.
In the fire drill last Thursday after
noon every child that attends school on
the first floor was out of the building
inside of one minute, and those who at
tend the high school proper were out
side inside of three minutes. The
alarm was sounded at time when all
the high school pupils were in the as
sembly room and it was given for the
east stairway, so all had to file out at
that end of the building. This test
therefore was made for the hardest
possible conditions except that of using
the fire escapes.
On next Friday evening there will be
held in the city of Grand Rapids, at
the new high school building, league
declamatory contest in which the high
school of Grand Rapids, Stevens Point
and Wausau will be represented. Wau-
sau's contestants are Rowena Arthur,
Mary Mcneil and Margie MeCrossen,
Gladys johnson having waived her
place to the latter. They will be ac
companied by some of the high school
teachers and return Saturday morning.
Supt Karl Mathie and Prin. w. j.
Farrell acted as judges in a local de-
clamatory contest held at the Merrill
high school last Friday evening.
Last Saturday, Miss Ida White, of
Neillsville, visited our city to make a
personal application for a position in
our city schools.
