FAIR TO BE CLEAN.

AS in other years, the management of
the Marathon county fair has again de-
termined that there shall be no gamb-
ling game or device of any kind or lewd
or disgusting exhibition of any kind al
lowed on the grounds. AT many of the
smaller county fairs of the state, the
chief attraction has been the Especial
privileges" and they have been con-
Quoted on the old time circus plaza
CRATER at every turn-someone with a
skin game to get your money. The
Marathon county fair has been con
Quoted along decent lines, at least dur
ing recent years, but some of the fair
associations in the state have this year
had shaking up from the state authori-
ties. The state pays a portion of the
expenses of conducting the fairs, pro-
vldlng that no gambling is tolerated
Notwithstanding the stipulation, few of
the organizations have lived up to it,
and have been allowing wheels of for
tune and other games on the grounds
and have drawn their state aid Just the
same. This matter has been called to
the attention of the state authorities
and they have decided to be careful this
year in paying out money. Secretaries
and managers throughout the state
have raised the question, "What con-
stitutes gambling?' and the opinion of
the attorney general has been asked
Among the questions asked him is
whether or not it is gambling to have
cash, watches and jewelry played for
on a wheel of fortune, if there are
prizes offered for each dime taken for a
whirl at the prizes, and the attorney
general says that it is
Therefore if fair managers desire to
get state aid and conduct their fairs
within the pale of the law, the wheel of
fortune man and cheap iewelry fakir
will this year be given a wide berth
Heretofore it has been the custom of
the state to merely accept the affidavit
of the secretary that no gambling has
been tolerated on his fair grounds, but
so many violations of the law have been
found that this year it has been decided
not to rely on such af1idavits, and 1T is
quite likely that the state will employ
spoilers" who will make reports. If
you want to see a clean, up-to-the-
minute fair, come to Wausau. We have
established reputation throughout the
state for doing things right, a reputa-
ton which will not be sulled by the
presence on our grounds of tin horns"

MAN FOUND DEAD.

Yesterday morning the dead body Of
j ohm Fulweiler was found lying along
side the railroad track near Stratford.
Near him was revolver and footprints
in the sand gave evidence Of struggle,
it is said. His skull was crushed in
two places. 1t appears that the man
had the evening before attended a
dance in the village and was engaged
in quarrel. 1t is also said that when
he started for home he was in an in
toxicated condition. The fractures of
the skull were not thought to have been
produced from being struck by train.
The man was about thirty years of age
and resided at Marshfield, though he
was temporarily visiting at the home of
relatives some distance from the
village.
DR.. Fuller, who was called to exam
inc the body, was of the opinion that foul
play had been committed, and conse-
quently notified the district attorney
and sheriff, who went over on the noon
train yesterday. They started an in
vestigation and up to the time of our
going to press this afternoon had not
completed the same.

CITY WATER WORKS.

Last week, the mayor with the other
city officials interested in our water
works system, had meeting with Il. w j..
Gray, manager of the Manitowoc Water
Works company. The object of the
conference was to take steps to secure
a water supply for the residents on the
hull. Mr.. Gray spent an afternoon with
the commissioner and other members
OF the city government, looking over
the city ana our entire water works
plant. In the evening he suggested
that the problem of supplying water on
East hull was a very simple one He
sald that the city could place pump
operated by an electric motor at the
end of the main and pump water to a
tank on steel frame, situated on East
hill. This would furnish all the water
needed for the immediate future and
some lire protection to the people on
the hill. He thought that the cost of
the pump and the tank and the con
Meeting main could be put in for $1,000.
lie suggested that the city at this time,
ought to take under serious considera-
ton, the erection of large steel tower
on the hill. His idea was to build
water tower about 30 feet high and 40
feet in diameter and have all the city
Wa0OI Pullpcu ulT6Clly 10 bllS TANK ana
from there, released to the mains
throughout the city. He said the
difference in fuel and expense in
putting the tower on East hill, would
be scarcely noticeable from our present
system. Then if this system were
adopted, our pumps could rest from
two to six hours per day and in case of
any accident during fire, that we
would have sufficient water for several
streams for several hours.
He complimented the city manage
ment of the water works as being con-
Quoted very economically and said that
il the city would put the water on East
hill, that we would undoubtedly have the
very best system of water works in the
state. He also suggested that Wausau
had reached the stage where it will be
obliged to either adopt the use of water
meters or else build larger plant.
When questioned as to how it should
affect the small consumers, he stated
that the practice nearly everywhere
was to charge So per year to the small
est consumers and that the meter was
never known to raise the rate, but it
would compel the large users to pay for
the water which they wasted.
The city officials will submit to the
council in the near future recommen-
datlon as to what should be done

NEW ROAD LAW.

The highway law received an i'm
portant amendment at the last session
of the legislature. The voters OF any
town may vote to cover portion of
any main travelled road with crushed
rock, gravel, or clay and gravel, not to
exceed one mile each year and the
county board is compelled to appro-
pirate one-half of the expense, not to
exceed $1,000 in any one town in one
year.
Towns taking advantage of this law
will soon put their roads in good shape.
The worst places could be built first,
and save the continuous and expensive
repairs, and new piece added each
year. A good portion of the regular
road tax could be profitably worked
out by the farmers hauling the crushed
rock. The country roads need not be
so wide and expensive as the city
streets and could be built much
cheaper.-M arshfield News.

LOST MAN FOUND.


Joseph Stentrich, who left his home
at Bay Mill last Monday night at about
ten O'Clock saying that he was coming
to Tomahawk, but disappeared and has
not been seen hereabouts ever since,
has been found. 1t was feared that
Stentrich had met with foul play but
this is not the case as he is working at
Wausau and in letter to his family
stated that he would return in a few
days. 1t was reported that Stentrich
was in an Intoxicated condition when
he left home and that his departure was
on account of family troubles, but this
seems to be unfounded
However, a little explanation before
one departs from home for few days
would save great deal of anxiety
and do away with false reports The

A LESSON FOR HUSBANDS.

Every wife should take her husband
to see Othello. 1t is a play dealing
with the domestic relation. 1t is as
modern in spirit as if it were written
yesterday. The story deals with a
brave, simple, big hearted man who
had fought battles and won them. The
wife, a beautiful loving, loyal woman,
the husband, cold blooded schem-
ing crafty villain-representing gossip.
Thefhusband is made to believe wife
untrue. Then begins that hell upon
earth-the house into which the serpent
OF suspicion has crept "What damned
minister tells he DER that doubts, yet
doats, suspects yet strongly loves
And the pity of it all is, that it is as
true today as it was the day it was
written. AT the Grand, Friday, Sept.
