THE WATER SUPPLY.

1t does seem as if the consumers OF
city water should be furnished with an
article that is fit to drink The plant is
not run just for the purpose of furnish
ing fire protection and for flushing, but
it was designed to also supply good,
wholesome drinking water. The water
that is now pumped through the mains
has a rank smell and a taste that is
several degrees worse than the smell
and so bad has it become in this respect
that it is a source of general comment.
There has been more or less of this
trouble for long time. Strangers who
come to the city, do not hesitate to say
that the water is not fit to drink. The
health qualities may be all right, SO is
water which contains sulpher. salt or
alkali, but one would about as soon
drink water filtered through decayed
eggs 1t certainly cannot be on account
of the circulation for, without meter
In the city, the plant is pumping about
twice as much as it should for a city of
this size, and the superintendent keeps
the mains well flushed True, there is
a growth or deposit in the mains, of
vegetable nature, but should this pol
Lutte the whole system Perhaps it is
because the we'll is on low ground and
so close to the river. If so, change
should be made to higher ground. Very
soon the river water will be turned into
the mains, in hopes that by so doing,
the growth in the pipes will be stopped
and the vast accumulation already there
be cleaned out. The taste of the river
water last year was bad and it will be
this year, and it means large expense
to the people, for they feel that under
the circumstances they must purchase
their supply of drinking water from the
various springs. No doubt our city
authorities are doing all they can to
remedy this matter, but heroic meas
ures must be adopted and that soon, to
furnish good, pure water for drinking
purposes.

FOOTBALL GRAFT.

In recent number of Golfers Week
ly, sensational charges of graft and
corruption in athletics at the University
of Wisconsin are made by Edward S.
Jordan, under the caption Buying
Football Victories" Jordan declares
that Graduate Manager Downer, who
was appointed by President Van Hise
after an attempt was made to remove
the graft, has found himself powerless
against the old grating ring and that
in some instances the examples of
corruption approach those disclosed in
the affairs in the cities of the country.
The writer lists Captain Edward
Vanderboom as studant who takes
oratory, sociology, constitutional law
and football" He claims that Downer
has been made to yield to "holdup"
methods by Vanderboom, to whom the
prospect of cleanliness in athletics was
offensive Dick Remp, the center, is
described as a man who latter being ex-
PEELED demanded $500 to return and got
the money" Albion Findlay is
characterized as player who threat
ened to desert to Michigan just before
a big game. Jordan closes by saying:
1T is insignificant that Wisconsin
lied to her rivals by paying profes-
sionals, but it is indictive of a fabby
faculty spine when corruption blinds
student body to the meaning of hon
esty and frightens a faculty committee
into demoralizing impotency."
Ned Jordan come to Wausau from
Merrill in 1900 and spent nearly year
here on the Record and Central and in
the fall of 1901 went to the state univer-
sity. He is now on the Chicago Inter
Ocean.

ASYLUM REPORT.

At the meeting of the county board
last week combined report of the
asylum trustees, superintendent and
physician was submitted and approved,
from which we take few figures for
publication, showing that the institu-
ton is in 9ourishing condition, as it
always has been. The report covers
the year ending June 30, 1905 The
trustees say:
THE sanitary condition is first class,
and considering the average age of the
inmates, as shown by the report of the
physician, we have had very little sick
ness and the inmates appear as con-
tented as can be under the circum-
stances"

from twenty other counties and the

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia-Japan
war we had striking example of the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, so to speak,
have shingled their roofs in dry
weather" The virtue of preparation
has made history and given to as our
greatest men. The individual as well
as the nation should be prepared for
any emergency. Are you prepared to
successfully combat the first cold you
take? A cold can be cured much more
quickly when treated as soon as it has
been contracted and before it has be-
fore it has become settled in the system
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous
for its cures of colds and it should be
kept at hand ready for instant use.

One of the best comic operas in the
country will be at the opera house on
Friday evening, Nov. oath Manager
Frank l.. Perley has made some changes
in the cast of 1.-The Girl and the
Bandit which have improved it, hard
matter to believe as the company of
last season was conceded to be one of
the greatest ever organized. Viola
Gillette, the handsomest "girl-boy'' on
the stage, is still the prima donna
Miss Mabel Hits, the dainty coined
ienne, whose mirth-provoking port
rayal of Queeressa was the emphatic hit
of last season, will be seen in her
delicious role. Joseph Mirror, he of the
submarine voice, has his old part of
Murderallo. Geo MacFarlane is still
Count di Romano, while among the
new faces are I. Henry Coote, a lyric
tenor who captured London with his
voice as member of "The Prince

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.

Clyde Fitch's remarkable play, "The
Woman in'the Case" which will be seen
here tomorrow night, Nov. %, is soon to
be produced in Berlin the adoption for
the German stage having been made by
Theodore Kramer. The French rights
have been disposed of, and it is safe to
say that before it has run its course,
this thrilling drama of society life in
New York will have been seen by play
goers all over the world. Miss
Margaret Bennett, formerly known as
Eulalia Bennett, has made such hit in
the leading role that her managers,

STREET SPRINKLING.

The past season the city has done the
sprinkling by contract, hiring driver
and teams, the cost being only 68 cents
for lot of sixty feet frontage. This is
indeed great drop from the price
which has been paid heretofore. While
it is thought the service was not as
good as that of former years, this may
have been owing TO there being too
much territory to cover with the small
number of wagons at work. Next sea-
son the city should put on enough wag-
ons to cover the city in good shape,
giving the business streets double
dose, not allowing them to get dusty at
any time, and to charge accordingly
which would be about double to owners
of property along said streets

tie receipts this week for three days

ing 1910 ID. Another shipment of
the same cattle sold today at $4.O5
and $4.l0 Outside of these, moth
ing from Colorado or the West has
been received. Illinois buyers are
beginning to make inquiries for
feeders, and there is sure to be a
revival in this trade from this time
on, as a result of the very fiatter-
ing corn crop prospects all over the
corn belt.
The sheep market, recently, has
been advancing more or less, and
record prices are being paid here
nearly every day for shorn grass
wethers and yearlings. Arizona
wethers sold yesterday at $5.45,
80 10; Texas wethers SIS 35, Arizona
spring lambs Monday at 81 so, and
grass yearlings at 1915 to Sc.
The supply today includes mixed
shipments of fed stuff from Colo
RADIO, as follows: Wethers, 11S 10,
at 500; ewes, SO tb, at $4.75;
shorn lambs, II b, at 1915; and
spring lambs, out of the ewes just
mentioned, at $7.35, 81 b
These prices are certainly en-
couraging to those who have sheep
to market the coming season, but it
is the advice of those well posted to
get stock suitable for market off as
early as possible, as faith in the
stability of the present situation is
lacking.
