GOING SOUTH.

The past week, Reid Goodrich pur-
chased the residence of E. p. Holmes,
on Warren street, between Sixth and
Seventh streets. This is especially
pleasing to all of his friends, as Mr..
Goodrich sold his home here last fall
and all were afraid that he and his
wife would go elsewhere to live.
While they may go here and there for
brief stays still Wausau will now be
their permanent home.
Last week Mr.. Goodrich went to Chi
cago to consult with the officials of the
st. Paul Ry. Co., in reference to a posi-
ton they wanted him to consider for
the road. 1t was accepted and he takes
the place of Paul Gebert, purchasing
agent, who has resigned. This necessi-
tates Mr.. Goodrich leaving today for
DeRidder, Louisiana, where he will
look after the purchasing and shipping
of material for the st. Paul Ry. Co.
Mrs Goodrich will remain in Wausau
and reside in their newly purchased
home after June 1st

MEMORIAL DAY.

The Memorial day ANIMALS issued by
the state have been distributed by State
Supt. c. P. Cary. In his preface Mr.
Cary says;
''The day is consecrated to the pur-
pose of -honoring all, living or dead,
who contributed to the preservation of
the union. 1t is more than a holidays
it is holy day; sacred to the memory
of those who shed their blood for free
dom and liberty, devoted to the solemn
pleasure of honoring those of the living
who risked the horrors of war that each
and every man might partake of the
benefits of freedom, and dedicate to the
necessity of so training the youth that
free institutions bought with blood and
treasure may never crumble and decay.
Memorial day is sacred and should
not be profaned by sports and games.
1t is not day for amusements. 1t was
established at a time when every home
in the land was in mourning, as a day
upon which greatful people could offer
thanks to the memory of its honored
dead. To make it day of recreation
defeats the purpose for which it was de-
signed.

day and to use every means to create in
the community desire for its proper
observance.
appropriate exercises commemora-
tive of the day should be held in every
school in the state. 1t should be made
an event to be remembered by every
pupil in the school, An invitation
should be extended to the g. A. r. to
be present, and if there is no post in the
community, personal invitations should
be sent to the old soldiers of the neigh
borhood to come and if possible re
count to the school their war exper-
fences.
In our schools are gathered the
youth of every land. The pupil of the
present will be the citizen, and if need
be, the soldier of tomorrow 1t is the
duty of the teacher to make such a
preparation for the day as will teach
the origin, spirit and history of our in
stitutions. Patriotism is a growth. 1t
is the product of the teachings of the
home and school,"

A MOCK TRIAL.

At the meeting of the Elks lodge to be
held May 18th, Mayor Duncan, one of its
members, will be tried on charges of
family desertion-nOt that he is guilty
of any such offense, but just to furnish
little amusement for the Elks and a
few invited guests. At the last meeting
of the society the following complaint
was filed against the mayor:
The proper officers hereby inform
this lodge that for the space of about
two weeks prior to the Sd day of April,
1906, the said Myron II. Duncan, a
member in good standing of this lodge,
did completely abandon and desert his
family, failing to report regularly or
often times at ali at regular meal hours,
remained away from his home late at
night, and spent his time and money in
unusual ways and in strange and unus-
ual places, and did make to his wife and
children false and contradictory state
ments and explanations of his said con-
duct; all contrary to his ordinary dispo-
sltlon and usual habits, and contrary to
the rules ana regulations which should
govern true and lawful Elk in good
standing in this lodge.
The action Of the lodge was made
known around town next morning and
as it passed from one person to another
the story got twisted and distorted until
it was finally made to appear that Mr.
Duncan had been actually arrested on
the above charge through the due pro-
cess of law. The result was that many
persons who were not aware of the
joke, made urgent inquiries until they
were set Alright.
The charge is true in one respect, for
where is the candidate who does not
desert family and old haunts at times
during hot election campaign?
On the date above mentioned a jury
will be drawn and attorney members of
the order will extract testimony from a
lot of choice witnesses who will be duly
primed before hand. Arguments will
be made and then Mr.. Duncan's fate
will rest with the jury. If he is found
guilty, as it is surmised is preordained,
there will no doubt be something forth
coming for which the mayor will have
to bear the expense. At all events he
will pass through a more serious ordeal
than the one he has to deal with in fig
uring out how to raise money to meet
the city's contemplated public improve

HOUSE CLEANING DAY.

May 14th will be city house cleaning
day for Wausau, it having been so
designated by official action at the last
meeting of the city council A COM
munication was read from the Wausau
Improvement association which stated
that the city would have the associa-
tion's cooperation in the matter, and
asking that the city furnish teams to
haul away rubbish. The plan is to
induce property owners to clean up
their yards Those who do not feel
disposed to pay for carriage themselves
can dump their rubbish in piles along
the street in front of their homes and
the city will furnish teams to haul it
away free, the free hauling to apply
only to rubbish gathered that day
People in this way get rid of their
winters accumulation of refuse and the
city is at the same time bcautified to
that extent.
The plan has been tried in many
cities of Southern Wisconsin, in fact
city house cleaning has been an
annual event for several years, and it
has proved a feature that meets with
the sentiment of all classes. The
members of the association will con-
duct an active campaign this week in
an endeavor to interest every citizen
in the movement.
The matter is being taken up by the
school authorities and all school chill
part of that day to this work in assist
ing their parents. The plan has been
successfully adopted by many neigh
boring cities, and Sundays Tribune
states that the same plan will be put in
effect in Chicago today The Tribune
says in part "The children in each
public school will be organized into
squads to gather refuse in the empty
lots-burn all combustible material
while tin cans and other non-combust-
ible things will be collected when the
street department will carry them
away"
Recent instructions of the council
to the city attorney to enforce the ordi-
nance requiring the painting of electric
poles was also a move in the right direc-
ton. The streets of this city have more
poles now than are necessary, many
old and unsightly ones having been out
of service for months past. A number
of resolutions directing theirGremoval
have been passed by the council without
effect, and the enforcement of this ordi-
nance will add greatly to the looks of
the streets and at the same time most
likely cause the removal of these unused
nuisances.

THE HOWARDS.

The following is an extract from a
letter received from Mr.. Alex. Zenier,
of Appleton, the well known organist
and director of the Appleton Male
chorus
"You people at Wausau are to be
congratulated on securing the Howards.
There is good field here in Appleton
for people of their ability. We have
piano and violin teachers galore, but
no one who is thoroughly up in voice
training.

well. AS Clara Hunt | saw Mrs.

The city furnishes water free to the
schools, city buildings, churches,
cemeteries, etc, and yet it is entered
as earning to the department. 1t is
not assessed to the tax payers of the
whole city but is equalized among the
water consumers. The same is in part
true of the fire hydrants. When any
official is asked why such entries are
made he says he knows it's not right
but that it is a custom followed
The report shows that the water
plant was last inventoried at $40, 724.-

past year was So, 634 81, which is added
to the value of the plant.

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years

Massey, of 1922 Clinton ST., Minneapo-

The pain and suffering which he en-
dured during this time is beyond com
prehension Nothing gave him any
permanent relief until he used Cham
belain's Pain Balm. One application
of that fniment relieved the pair and
made sleep and rest possible, and less

of Pain Balm and see four yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale
