OF SCHOOLS.

Gu the fourth of next April the voters
OF this county will be called upon to
elect superintendent of schools and
up TO the present time six or seven per-
sons have declared themselves candi-
dates for the support of the voters of
the county. Everyone of these candi-
dates is possessed of the required legal
and professional qualifications for hold
ing this office.
Marathon county has about two
hundred schools the proper supervision
of which will tax the abilities of the
strongest person available for the work
Every candidate should be judged ac-
cording to his scholarship, experience
in school work, business ability and
general character. Political consider
ations should not be allowed any in
fluence whatever in deciding this cleo
ton. Merit and ability to render the
best service to the schools of the county
should be the controlling factors.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1905-02-07

But who of all these avowed candi-
dates most nearly measures up to these
requirements? This question each vot-
er in the county must decide for him
self on the 18th of next April.
One eff the very strongest men to en-
ter the field up to the present time is
W. j. Farrell, principal of the Washing
ton school in the city of Wausau. He
has taught in the schools of Marathon
county for the past eighteen years and
knows the needs of these schools as few
men do.
Mr. Farrell holds life state certifi-
cate, taught six years in country schools,
two years in village schools and seven
teen years in the schools of The city of
Wausau.
Mr. Farrell has all the qualifications
necessary to make an efficient superin-
tendent of schools for Marathon county.

NEWSPAPERS.

The following essay or newspapers
was written by Merrill boy:
Newspapers are sheets of paper on
which stuff to read is printed. The
men look it over TO see if their names
are in it. 7 don't know how newspa-
pers came into the world. / don't think
God does. The bible says nothing about
editors and | never heard of one being
in heaven The first editor | heard Of
was the fellow who wrote up the flood.
He has been here ever since. Some
editors belong to church and some try
to raise whiskers All of them raise
billy blazes in their neighborbood.
Sometimes the paper dies, bat some one
starts il again. Editors never go to
school because they are always afraid
of getting licked. Our newspaper is
a Dustin poor one, but we take it so ma
can use it on her pantry shelves. Our
editor don't amount to much. but paw
says he had poor chance when he was
boy. He goes without underclothes
in winter, wears no socks and has a
wife to support him.

FULLY ORGANIZED.

Carl. III. Mueller Camp No. 4, Sons of
Veterans, was duly organized and Off
GERS installed last evening in Cutler
Posts room in the basement of the
court house. The installation ceremon-
les were in charge of Frank +. Merry
field, of Stevens Point. Mr. Merryfield
is commander of Gen. Alban Camp No.
SO and also Sergt. Major of the Depart
ment of Wisconsin s. O. V. About 80
charter members were mustered in and
the following officers installed
Commander-A. V. Gearhart.
Sr. Vice-Commander-F. l.. Hudson.
Jr. Vice-Commander-C. b. Bird.
Secretary-Walter Pierce.
Treasurer-Herman Becker.
The members of the camp counsel are
W. r. Chellis, NJ B. Rosenberg and Ii.
l.. Mumm.
The delegate to the division encamp-
ment is j. p. Briggs.
Mr.. Briggs has the distinction of be-
ing veteran and son of a veteran.
Both himself and father were soldiers
in the civil war.
Carl Mueller Camp starts life with
promise of gaining large membership
in time and of being one of the factors
in promoting patriotic spirit and
sociability in our affairs in the future
AS each Memorial day succeeds another
the ranks of the old soldiers are being
depleted and few years more will see
but few left to carry on the work of
keeping green the graves of their de-
parted comrades. The new organization
can carry on the work of their fathers
and while the old soldiers are still
among the living can assist them in
many ways.
With the organization of the local
camp and one at Edgar tomorrow even
ing there will be twenty eight camps in
Wisconsin, all flourishing and gaining
in membership every day

The loss to Mr.. and Mrs Andrews is
over 81 900 with no insurance carried.
Mr. and Mrs John Kiefer, Jr, lost
all their household effects, clothing,
ETC., valued at ST. 800. They carried
81 200 insurance.
DR.. johnson figures his loss at APP
proximately S40O. His insurance
amounts to $780,
The James Music Co. lost valuable
piano in the building.
The Littlejohn-E sch Co. had just re-
ceived and unpacked 81, 800 consign-
ment of furniture. This is all ruined.
The presents received by DR.. and
Mrs S. M. B. Smith, at their wedding
last week, were sent to the Littleiohn-
Esch Co. to be packed for shipment to
Crandon, and Mr.. Littlejohn had just
that afternoon finished packing and
hauled the goods to the depot, else they,
too, would have been destroyed.
Mrs. Andrews, after being taken to
the Oswald bakery, was later removed
to the Crystal cafe, where her husband
and number of ladies administered to
her and extended kind words of cheer
She is now resting nicely and it is
thought the shock and exposure will
not cause any relapse.

thing they had with tie exception OF
the clothes they had on. The former,
in leaving the building, picked up his
overcoat but had to drop it because il
proved cumbersome while he was
assisting his wife out of the building.
Later he went back to get it but could
not enter the room because of the
smoke.
Mr. and Mrs Kiefer lost all of their
household goods and DR.. Johnson's
effects, furniture and dental instru-
ments are complete loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Goerling are also
losers. They occupied rooms over A.
B. Wheelers plumbing shop adjoining,
and it appearing at one time as if this
building also was doomed, their goods
were moved out In moving, consider
able damage was done to the furniture
As yet it has not been ascertained
how the fire started. 1t is thought that
it may have occurred from spark
dropping from the furnace in the base
ment. The explosion, it is thought.
was due to combustion of gases
The Littlejohn-Es Co. carried a
large stock of high grade furniture,
carpets, draperies, caskets, etc. 1t is
doubtful whether any of it will be
found of any value after the thick coat
of ice, which now covers everything in
the building, has been thawed of.
Furniture, when once thoroughly
soaked, warps out of shape and the
frost loosens the glue joints. 1t is pos

M. II. Duncan, who visited Madison
on Thursday tells story of long,
wearisome ride. Leaving here on the
st. Paul road on the morning of Wednes-
day his train was stalled by wreck
and drifting snow below Babcock. A
freight train was wrecked below that
junction and while the passenger train
was waiting for the track to be cleared
in front the road at the rear drifted full
of snow. An attempt was later made
to back up to Babcock and 90 around
to Portage by way of Tomah, when it
was found the train could not be moved
on account of snow. Men with shovels
were put to work but the high wind
filed in the track faster than they
could shovel out the snow. Finally a
snow pillow was brought down from
Babcock and road opened up, but it
was eight o'clock that evening when
the train reached Portage, being nine
hours in running little over hundred
miles.

The Good Old wav.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give a good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administe ed by
their grandmothers, backed by Bos-
chee's German Syrup, which was al
ways literally used in connection with
the home treatment of colds and is still
in greater household favor than any
known remedy. But even without the
application of the old-fashioned aids
German Syrup will cure a severe cold
in children or grown people. 1t re-
lieves the congested organs, allays the ir-
ritation and effectively stops the cough
Any child will take it. 1t is invaluable
in household of children. Trial size

Hon. William L. Royal, one OF the
ablest lawyers in the State, in speech
at Newport News last Saturday gave
some reasons why he would vote
AGAINST Senator Martin and in the
course of his remarks said:

the system of ring and machine poll
tics. l believe that if you elect MN
United States Senator we shall nave

as he will be, and boss rule ana rihs

frauds which that body is now un
covering were operated by the friend
of Thomas S. Martin. The men wh'

The Republicans in convention at
Roanoke this week adopted plat
form and nominated Judge L. L.
Lewis as the standard bearer of their
party. The platform, of course was
along the usual lines, in support OF
every measure of the National ao-
ministration, past, present ana future
and denunciatory generally OF every
mart taken by Democrats inthe affairs
of the government and particularly IN
the State with an especialappeal for the
support of those who may be dissatls-
fed as to the way in which our pub
lie schools, the liquor traffic and oys'
ter business is being conducted. Inc
nominee, Judge Lewis, is a strong
candidate and will doubtless com
mand the entire support of his party

Martin and Governor Montague dlo
not take place at Rocky Mount on
last Monday, as was expected Mr..
Martin. as usual twas i'll the hands OF
his friends" and declined to accept
the challenge of Mr.. Montague De-
cause they would not permit him 70
do so. Comment is unnecessary, per-
baps. as the people of the State gen
erallv believe IN "fair play" and must
arrive at the conclusion that Mi
Martins friends either believed he ha(
not the ability to meet him or were
disposed to take some undue advan
taqe of the Governor. The day
however, was not the "big Martll
dav,' which was expected. Both mad
speeches and the audience was aoou
