WHY NOT WAUSAU?

Now that there are bills introduced
to move the state capitol to Milwaukee
and Oshkosh, the people of the northern
part of the state have a right to be
heard. The Lacrosse Chronicle comes
out in an article advocating Wausau IS
the proper site in case of possible re-
moval The News Item desires to
second the Chronicles article in favor
of Wausau. Geographically Wausau is
an ideal location, and in the way of
facilities to reach it, it is as good at
present as Madison, and would be made
much more so if necessity required. The
city is one of the most progressive in
the state, healthfully situated, and no
guarantee need be required of them
that ample accommodations would be
provided. AS to site for the capitol
building no more natural nor command
ing site could be found than the beauli-
full plateau on the hill in the eastern
part of the city. In fine, give Wausau
the capitol and that city and the people
will do the rest.-Antigo News Item.

ROYAL ENTERTAIN ERS.

The next number of the Y. M G. A.
course will be Smith and Gorton, the
Royal Entertainers, who will appear at
the opera house Friday evening, March
10th. These two men have given per-
formances of their work in every state
in the union and the provinces of
Canada. They have appeared in a
thousand church edifices and have been
the most popular attractions at all the
leading Chautauqua assemblies. Mr..
Willard's part of the program is similar
to the entertainment given in Wausau
some years ago by Elias Day, who cap
tivated his audience. Mr.. Willard i'm
personates such men of national and
international celebrity as Abraham
Lincoln, Mark Twain, Rev. t. Dewitt
Talmage. Alexander Dowie, Gen. Cord
Oh, Chauncey Depew, Wu Ting Fang,
John B. Cough, Theodore Roosevelt,
and scores of others. Each one's APP
pearance, dress, voice and manner are
represented to the life in lengthy ex-
tracts from their best known speeches
or characterizations, and Mr.. Willard
makes all his changes before the eyes
of the audience.
Mr.. Smiths forte is making beautiful
and elaborate pictures by skillfully
strewing brilliantly colored sands upon
background of plush. This process of
picture making is original with Mr..
Smith and is performed by no one else.
Mr.. Smith also is an impersonator of
character and among his best subjects
are "Zachariah Spicer," Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Edwin Booth, Carrie Nation,
Sarah Bernhardt, Susan B. Anthony,
Galatea and "Miss McGinnis' The
whole program is lengthy, varied, novel
artistic and refined. Seats can be re-
served at the usual time and place.
On Monday evening following, Hon.
William Jennings Bryan will appear at
the opera house under the auspices of
the Y. M. G. A. and deliver his lecture

CITY COUNCIL.

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held last Tuesday evening
at which an important step was taken
which may mean much to the city's fu-
ture public improvement and prosperi-
ty. 1t is the decision to refund the water
bonds and issue new bonds.
Final settlement was made with the
companies constructing and equipping
the municipal lighting plant. The to-
tai cost of construction was S11 ,2S1.
A petition was presented asking that
the taxes of Albert Kummerow be cam
celled. MIR. Kummerow has been laid
up with rheumatism for over year.
The petition was granted.
The matter of fixing salaries was
brought up and the following schedule
adopted: City engineer to receive sc. 90
per day for actual work performed, in
stead of 81, $50 yearly; city clerk, 81 900
yearly; city treasurer, 5000; superinten-
dent of water works, $500; superinten-
dent of poor, $780,
Alderman Ewing offered an amend
ment to the committees report, raising
the salary of the captain of police S.
per month and Alderman Liljeqvist
wanted the assistant fire chiefs salary
raised. Both were defeated.
1t was ordered that an ordinance be
published providing for the issuance of
new bonds in the sum of $l25, 900 to be
payable from 1911 to 1925 at rate of
interest net to exceed iour per cent.
This will pay off the Indebtedness of
our water system amounting to 500, 900
and leave a balance of 1884, for
public improvements. A vote will be
taken on the matter at the regular
meeting to be held March 7th. By all
who have studied the proposition of
meeting the water bonds when they
become due, as they do this spring,
this appears to be the best way
out. The city treasury is not over
burdened with money and to pay off
the bonds now would be burdensome
to the city and would hamper needed
improvements. Besides, few years
hence, unless some unforeseen calamity
occurs, Wausau will be in better shape
TO pay 1926, 900 than it is to pay 800, coo
new.
A resolution offered by Alderman
Kickbusch providing for the numbering
of all ordinances passed hereafter, be-
ginning with the number So, was
passed.
Council adjourned.

The time is drawing near when The
(people of Marathon county will 4be
called upon to elect county superin-
tendenS of schools. For the past ten
years John +. Lamont, the present in
cumbent, has held that important Office
and by his gentlemanly conduct, excel
lent service, and faithful discharge of
his official duties has won the esteem
and good will of the public and today
ranks high as one of the ablest school
men of the state. Now. it seems gen
orally understood that Mr.. Lamont viii
not again be a candidate for reelection,
and the question that confronts the
people of the county at the present time
is, who will be his successor?
Among the many men whose names
are mentioned for the Office John
Humphrey of the town of Brighton,
now principal of the state graded
schools at Elderon, stands in the fore
most ranks IS one of the strongest
candidates for the position Mr.. Humph-
rey is eminently qualified by training
and education for the superintendency
and enjoys wide acquaintance among
the leading educators of the state. He
possesses a strong personality, is a
fluent and able speaker, a thorough
scholar and a practical teacher, having
actual experience of over ten years
work in the school room.
He is full course graduate of the
Oshkosh Normal school, and holds a
life state certificate, and has taught in
rural, graded and high schools, thus
making him familiar with every phase
of school work
Mr.. Humphrey was born and raised
on farm in Sheboygan county, and
after graduating from the Plymouth
high school, taught in the rural schools
of his native county for some time,
coming to Marathon county in 1895, al
most ten years ago, where he accepted
the position as principal of the Spencer
schools. Previous to his acceptance of
the principalship of the Elderon schools,
Mr.. Humphrey was connected with the
schools of Stratford, where he taught
for two years. Mr.. Humphrey makes
some pretentions as farmer, having
now some men at work clearing up his
land in the town of Brighton.
Mr.. Humphrey is non-partisan
candidate for the position of superin-
tendent of schools of Marathon county
and will be on the ticket which will be
voted this spring in this county.

BRING ON YOUR INTERURBAN
RAILROAD.

The Wausar papers take some publ
cations up here too seriously. The peo-
pie of Merrill are not opposes to the
building of the proposed interurban
electric railroad. The people of Mer-
rill know that the building of this road
would aid in the development of the
country between here and Wausau and
they know, too, that fair share of the
increased business such development
would create must come to Merrill.
While we regret to acknowledge that
the people of Merrill have not the spirit
of the people of Wausau for their town
yet we are getting there quite rapidly.
We are discarding the OK teams as the
means of transportation, and the
mackinaws are being laid aside for the
artisans overalls In other words-elec-
tricity is none too swift for us. Bring
on your electric railroad and we will
all take day off and come down and
sample your viands-we want to know
what you are feeding on that makes
you so great and patriotic. AS fair
exchange of courtesies, your young
men can come up and see our pretty
girls, and you staid old buffers of the
press, and invalids, are welcome to
come and enjoy the beautiful scenery
along our rivers and lakes. You will
all find here that which you cannot find
around Wausau.
But while we are about it, we will re-
mind the good people of Wausau that
in years past they have looked with
rather disdainful eyes on Merrill. To
be fair, we must say, however, that the
past year or two, indications point to
the fact that change of sentiment is
taking place. The way the Wausau
people attended our fair last fall shows
this. While we are not as big as Wau-
sau, we up here are striving to get
there. AS we journey along the road
to progress, we will learn that Merrills
interest is Wausau's interest, and what
is good for Wausau is good for Merrill.
This lesson the people of Wausau will
also learn.
Bring on your interurban railroad

An Automobile Fire Department.

The municipal authorities OF Vienna
have determined to abandon the use of
horses to draw their fire apparatus and
to equip their service entirely on an au-
tomobile basis, says Harper's Weekly
The Vienna fire department is consid-
cred the best equipped of continental
Europe, and within ten years it has re-
placed all obsolete apparatus with the
most modern and useful devices. The
iirst-step taken was the ordering Of
ffty-three motor chemical engines and
wagons to replace those previously
drawn by horses and which are most
useful for dealing with small fires.
When this has been accomplished the
horse drawn steam fire engines and the
extension ladders will be changed or
replaced in some way not as yet deter
mined. 1t is claimed that increased eff
ficiency will follow the innovation.
while there will be a saving of some
S15.500 per annum in the cost of main-
tanning the stations for which the fifty
three sets Of apparatus have been or
dered. The outlay will be about S17T.-
600.
