 To tell one of these men that the fussy little mosquito Is at the bottom of the yellow fever epidemic and that the bug zing thing carries all the trouble in his bill suggests only ridicule, but the health department Is doing all It can to impress upon the public generally that the mos quito and nothing else is at the root of the epidemic. the mosquitoes stop biting the disease stops spreading

WEARING OF WELLS WOULD
 STOP SPREAD OF DISEASE

Washington, August 4.-(Special )--"The fact that the threatened epidenmic of yell low fever in Louisiana has not spread as rapidly as have former epidemics is giv- ing us a very hopeful feeling as to the outcome of the efforts being made to stamp it out" said Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon general of the public health and marine hospital service, today. "A diff fculty we are meeting Is the failure of the people affected by the epidemic and those threatened by it to comply with our instructions, continued the surgeon gen eral.
 Dr. Wyman declined to enter into any congratulations of events in connection with the yellow fever epidemic. He be- lieves the scientific man should deal in facts and not enter upon fortune telling business when engaged in the treatment of an epidemic. Therefore he did not care to speculate on what the outcome of the conditions now existing in Lousi- ana will be. In the present case, the people infected at New Orleans being as 8 class ignorant Italians, only constant watching and care can secure anything

SITUATION SERIOUS,
 BUT NOT HOPELESS.

An of those present participated Tn the s;so,,ss,on If was the consensus of opin- ion that while the situation had grown serious. 1t was not hopeless. Ihis we" was concurred in by Dr. White. At the same time 1t was believed that If gov arnment control was resolved upon there would he an immediate restoration of con edence throughout Louisiana and the other states in the south where there has been criticism of the local authorities for not sooner making public the existence of the fever.
 It was also the belief of those present that General Wy1nan would be able to send a force of physicians to New or leans thoroughly equipped for the hand ling of a yellow fever situation because Of their experience in Cuba, Mexico and at different points in the United States and that the government would have the facil- ,,tes for enforcing scientific campaign not nossessed by the local authorities xvhen the local officials first took charge of the situation 1t was confidently nopeu that the fever could be stamped out with a reasonable delay, but the progress mas not been as expected. and so frightened have become the people in the south over the incsrease in the number of cases that New Orleans is threatened With serious paralysis of her trade by reason of the radical quarantines that are now being instituted.
 At the conclusion of the meeting It was announced that the following resolution offered by Mir Janvier, had been adopted Mir. Farrar alone voting in the nesa- tive:
 ..Resolved, That this meeting indorse the proposition to ask the United states government to take control of the yellow fever situation in New Orleans and Louis- iana. and the governor of the state and the mayor of the city be requested to take immediate steps to carry this propo- sition Into effect; and that the hearty cooperation of the state and city gov ernments, state and city health boards. inc New Orleans Medical society and Of inc people eenerally be pledged in such action as may be taken by the govern ment"
 Immediately after the meeting ad- iourned telegram signed by the mayor and the other interests represented at the meeting was addressed to Governor Blanchard, telling him of the action taken and furnishing him with a copy or the resolution. The governor was asked to forward a request to President Roosevelt directing the United States public health and marine hospital service to take charge at once.

ANNOUNCEMENT CREATES
 ALARM IN THE CITY.

The announcement of the action taken at first created some alarm in the city, growing out of the fear that It meant that inc situation had grown entirely beyond control but that alarm was aliayed when 1t became known that the authorities had acted simply from the belief that prompt action now in turning over the direction of affairs to the marine hospital service, in whom there is supreme confidence here would almost certainly avert an epidemic. Dr. White and his staff, who have been working here in conjunction with the local authorities. were gratified over the action taken. The local authorities are glad to be relieved of the heavy responsibility ghich has bene placed on them.

H. II. Manson Elected Chairman

Herbert H. Manson, of this city, was,
last Friday, elected chairman of the
democratic State Central Committee,
at meeting of that committee held in
Milwaukee, in the club rooms of the
Plankinton house.
ID. +. Jones, of Portage, was the only
candidate mentioned for the position
up to the afternoon meeting, when D.
ID. Conway, of Grand Rapids, mentioned
the name of Mr.. Manson. His enthusi-
asum spread and in few moments all
were talking of the proposed candidate
A recess was taken in order to con-
suit with Mr.. Manson, which was done
over the telephone, and he gave out
that he would accept, provided the
position was rendered him by the COM
mittee. Mr.. Conway, in advocating
Mr.. Manson, said that he had "been dis
trict attorney of Marathon county and
city attorney of Wausau. He had
organized Marathon county last fall so
as to give the republicans a run for
their money; that he was an indefa-
tigable worker and one on whom the
committee in the past had always been
able TO rely implicitly to carry out in
structions and to cooperate in all move
ments of benefit to the party at large"
Mr.. Manson was born in Wausau in
1872 and is a splendid representative of
the young democracy of our state.
That he will give good account of the
confidence that has been reposed in
him will be seen later where he will
redeem the state and place the reigns
in the hands of the democrats. He
was a graduate of the Wausau high
school, class of 1901, and also graduate
from the State University and of the
law department of that Institution in
1897. He came to his old home and
opened up law office; in connection
he has dealt extensively in real estate
and has been very successful. In 1898
he was elected city attorney, and in the
latter part of that year after an active
campaign, was elected district attorney.
He made an excellent, painstaking
officer. During the last campaign he
was selected chairman of the demo
cratic county committee and put up
one of the hottest campaigns ever
witnessed in the county.
