power of leadership which has rallied
all good citizens to the support of the

hearty and united cooperation in

schools to high standard of excel

BRAKEMAN DROWNED.

| Tuesday evening last, Jos. s. Fay, a
Northwestern R'y brakeman, was
drowned in the slough south of the city
hall. The switch engine was standing
on the bridge at the time and the young
man attempted to pass it to get to the
other end of the bridge. There was a
very narrow place for him to walk and
he slipped and fell into the water, ut
tering cry as he fell, which was heard
by his brother employees The accident
was witnessed by conductor Richard
Staege; engineer Chris. Wente and his
fireman, Roy Empey. whose attention
had been attracted by his cry, saw him
as he arose to the surface of the water,
but they were powerless to help him.
The water was very high and he was
carried under the wagon bridge
and was drowned in the eddy below
A searching party at once, began look
| ing for the body and nearly two hours
afLerward it was found and drawn out
| The body was taken to the city hall
where jury empanelled by the coroner
viewed the remains and later rendered
a verdict of accidental drowning. From
| the city hall the remains were removed
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Fay,
on Central Ave-, where at II O'Clock
Wednesday morning ritualistic funeral
services were conducted by the Wausau
Arie of Eagles, of which deceased was
a member The casket was later placed
aboard train and taken TO Winona,
Mimi, where interment was made.
Deceased was born in Trempealeau
county, Wis, March Sd, 1878, and had
been resident of Wausau for the past
five years, residing with his brother,
Peter Fay. He is spoken of as a young
man of industry and good habits, who
enjoyed the respect of a large circle of
friends in this city. Besides his broth
er, he is survived by his father and five
sisters. Had he lived he would have
been promoted by the railroad com
pany in snort time, and was engaged
to be married to Wausau young lady.

E. H. ROSSIER'S LOSS.

The many friends of f. III. Rossier, in
this city, will regret to learn that he
was heavy loser in the late flood Last
Tuesday morning the dam crossing
Little Plover, where Mr.. Rossier has
his roller mill, gave way, carrying with
it the east part of the mill, which was
used as a store house. This contained
about $50 barrels of flour, 400 bushels
of wheat, and large quantity of rye,
feed, etc. The Stevens Point Gazette
says: parts of the Rossier warehouse
were scattered all over The stream be.
low, bags of flour and wheat carried
along in all directions, and one sack OF
flour was picked up in the pond at Grand
Rapids, 20 miles below. 1t is difficult
to tell just what Mr. Rossier's loss will
amount to, bat it is variously estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000. He, however,
while feeling it most keenly, is not the
kind of man to lie down, but will com
mence to rebuild at once, and the town
of Plover will repair the highway as
quickly as possible"

FLOOD DAMAGE.

The past week win be remembered
Dy railroad officials as one of great loss
throughout the state because of flood
damage resulting from heavy rains the
fore part of the week. The storm in
some sections assumed the proportions
of cloud burst while in some parts OF
the state veritable tornado resulted
For several days, traffic on some por-
tlons OF different roads was at stand.
still and the damage has not as yet been
fully repaired. Except for local mail,
the mail carriers of Wausau would have
had vacation for few days. 1t was
only by round about routes that any
mail was received from Milwaukee and
Chicago. In this respect Wausau did
| not suffer any worse than did many
other cities of the state, for the storm
and havoc to railroad traffic was gen
| eral. On the st. Paul road the bridge
at Pine River north of here was so
wrecked by high water that trains
could not cross At Ceder creek south
of town abolt 800 feet of track was
washed out aud big washout at Dill
creek shut off travel from the main
line.
Near Stevens Point the Wisconsin
Central suffered washout which COM
PEELED that road to run trains over the
Northwestern line. Two long passen-
ger trains of the former passed through
here Wednesday afternoon over the
Northwestern as far as Medina Jet ;,
from which point they went over the
Central line into Milwaukee.
The st. Paul had no mail or express
cars at this end of the division and was
compelled to use box cars in lieu of
same. Only pouch mail would be re-
ceiyed and that was transferred at
Rudolph
The Wisconsin river at this point
raised so high in a few hours that mat
ters looked dangerous. The entire is
land of the Barker q Stewart Lbr. Co.
was covered with water and there be-
ing eight inches of water in the engine
room, a shut down of several days was
necessary.
The roadway across the Stewart is
land was covered by two feet of water,
shutting of travel over the new bridge.
At one time the water was up to with
in a few inches of the spans of the
bridge. Only for the fact that the road
way had recently been macadamized it
would have washed out.
From all over the county comes
stories of havoc wrought by wind and
flood. The village of Colby was visited
by a heavy wind and hail storm and
some houses were wrecked and hardly
one escaped having windows broken
or other damage
The town of Mcmillan appears to
have suffered still worse. About fifteen
farmers in that town suffered losses
ranging from 5000 to 81, 600 by having
their buildings blow down or crops
ruined. The loss all over the county to
growing crops will foot up to an enor
nous sum.
The Wisconsin and Rib rivers began
to fall Wednesday but on Thursday
afternoon the Little Eau Pleine took a
sudden rise and overiiowed its banks.

WANT FIRE PROTECTION

Numerous petitions are being circu-
lated throughout the city asking the
city council to make arrangements for
storing water on East hill. A tank
holding 10000 gallons could be erected
and protected from frost for about
s., 800 This tank could be filled by a
small motor pump from the end of one
Of the mains, half way up the hill This
arrangement could be so fixed that in
case of any accident to the main pump
ing station the water could be turned
into the city mains, which would give a
fire pressure all over the city, until the
10000 gallons were gone. This amount
of water ought to be sufficient to put
out any ordinary fire
A small main laid from the tover on
East hill to the west side would give
not only plenty of water to the people
there, but also fire protection as well
to East hill, where neither side has here
tOfOre received any One of the gentle
men circulating the petitions among
our business men says that as yet, not
one tax payer has refused to sign the
petition.

Trade with local lumbermen evident
ly has been very brisk the past winter
for every yard in town is cleaned out OF
some grades of lumber. Contractors
constructing buildings this spring who
required seasoned timbers have made
a search of all the yards only to find
that they either had to take green tim
bers or send out of town for the re.
seasoned southern pine or Washington
fir while others hive accepted what
they could get Green timbers were
put into the post office building because
their position, in the roof, does not
