MUNICIPAL SPRINKLING.

At a special meeting of the council
held Thursday evening an ordinance
was passed providing for the sprinkling
of Wausau's streets to be done by the
city hereafter, commencing next
spring. The season shall be from the
1st day of May to the 10Th of October.
According to the provisions of the
ordinance the city shall purchase a
sufficient number OF sprinklers to do
the work and shall let the team work
to a contractor, who shall file bond
with the City clerk for the faithful per-
Torrance of the work and also a report
each day of the work done, the number
of hours employed and such other in
formation as the board of public works
shall require
The cost Of sprinkling bridges and
one-third of the cost of sprinklng the
streets shall be borne by the city, the
balance by property holders.
All paved and macadamized streets
shall be kept free from dust, and such
other streets as the council may later
direct shall be sprinkled each day
1t is said that in other cities where
the municipality is doing its own
sprinkling the cost to property owners
for the season has been reduced to
very low rate-about csc. The cost is
collected the same as water tax.

LANGSDORF BUILDING BURNS.

The Olympia hotel and saloon. for.
merly owned by Anton Langsdorf. and
situated on Third street Just north of
the st. Paul BY. crossing, was totally
destroyed by fire at an early hour Sun
day morning. The fire was discovered
at about three O'Clock At that time
the halls we're filled with smoke and the
flames had good start. Officer Henry
Rasmussen turned in an alarm and
though the fire department responded
Immediately, by the time the run was
made the flames had enveloped the in
terror of the building and were beyond
control. The occupants of the rooms
had been awakened in the meantime
but none of them were able to save any
of their personal effects. The building
was brick veneered and it was hard to,
fight the fire. The structure burned
furiously and it was nearly five hours
later before the last embers were
quenched and then nothing was left
standing but the bare walls.
The building was owned by F. L
Crossman, OF Fond du Lac county, who
carried $4,000 insurance, which amount
will not cover his loss.
The furniture, fixtures, etc., were in
insured for 81, GOO.
The fire started over the kitchen, but
from what cause cannot be determined.
While the flames were raging terrific
explosion occurred which wrecked floors,
partitions, etc, and what caused this is
also mystery.

FIGHT WITH DEATH.

Miss Blanche Bennison, of GAINESVILLE,
Miss Bulah Hubbs, of Lake Mills and
Miss Elsie Plantz, daughter of President
Plantz of Lawrence university, and
Norman Brockaw, of Appleton, narrow
ly escaped drowning in the Fox river
Friday evening. The party was coast
ing on steep hill behind the university
and their bob became unmanageable,
and the steersman was unable to stop it
and when in the middle of the river
where the strong current prevents safe
ice the party broke through. No one
witnessed the accident.
Elsie Plantz assisted Brockaw to the
sound ice and he in turn summoned as
sistance. His cries were heard by Irwin
Church of Menomonee Falls, Wis, who
was on his way to the Lawrence gym
nasium, a distance of four blocks from
the scene where the girls were strug-
Cling for their lives. Church, with his
characteristic football sprint, fastened
to the river and reached the drowning
girls Just IN time.
One of Miss Bennison's hands had be-
come frozen to the ice and that was all
that enabled her to keep her head
above water. She had practically given
up the struggle for life and was uncon-
scious when taken out. Miss Hubbs,
who had fioated to the opposite side of
the big hole in the ice was about to give
up. Miss Plantz perhaps, would have
saved herself, her arms and shoulders
being above the ice when resuce ar
rived.
Church was taken seriously III i'm
mediately after the rescue and was con-
fined to his bed next morning. The
three girls suffered considerably from
the shock and exposure, but will re-
cover.

ONE YEAR FOR FORGERY.

John Engeldinger, who, late in
December passed forged checks on
Cawley Bros, McGreggor & Prinz and
Ed. Bonduski to the amount of S34 and
who left some unpaid bills when he
departed from town, was sentenced
Saturday to serve one year in the Green
Bay reformatory Engeldinger, after
his hasty departure from town, went to
Manitowoc. He remained there few
days and then returned to town and
has been in hiding here for week or
more. He finally got tired of hiding
and on Friday called at the sheriff S
office for the purpose of giving himself
up, but as the sheriff was absent he
went to the office of the district attorney
to whom he stated that it was his in
tention to plead guilty to the charge
against him and take his medicine
In answering questions propounded
to him by the court it was quite evident
that the young man committed the
forgeries more through ignorance and
lack OF knowledge of the seriousness OF
the offense than with genuine criminal
intent. His attorney, Orlaf Anderson,
made strong plea for him and recon-
mended a short term in the Green Bay
reformatory as sufficient to satisfy the
ends of justice and be lesson to the
young man in the future. The district
attorney also thought the minimum
sentence of one year sufficient, and
Judge Silverthorn imposed sentence as
above stated.
Engeldinger's father, who resides at
Colby, was present. The young mans
parents are highly respected people and
that they have sense of honor is
witnessed by the fact that they have
reimbursed everyone who lost money
by their sons transactions.

that seemed not to have seen the light
OF day for nigh on to fifty years. Re
freshments were served in the basement
and altogether it was one of the most
pleasant PARTIES that has been given
in Wausau for many day.

noon, after a hearing on charge of
murder, three justices of the peace
sitting with Squire PaschaI, re.
quired the defendants, Mrs. Nancy
A. Linebery, w. II. Osborn and
A. A. Safreight to give bonds for
their appearance at the next term
of court.
The evidence, while somewhat
conflicting, tended to establish these
facts: Two weeks ago, Mrs. Sa-
freight, wife Of defendant, A. A..
Safreight, and sister to Mrs. Line
berry, died suddenly and was buried
the same day. Rumors of foul
play pervaded the neighbOrhood,
resulting in warrants against the
parties named. Witnesses swore
to finding on the body marks of
blows and a heavy stroke on the
temple. which must have broken
the skull. The husband was charged
with causing death by cruelty beat
ing his wife. The evidence being
conflicting the defendants were
allowed to give bond.

According to the Records logic a

There is not Republican county in

thought it was. The State officials
are afraid to enforce the law against
illicit distillers and blind tigers fol
fear the party will lose votes. DC
these msonshiners work for and con
