NO. OF SIGNATURES REQUIRED.

The primary election law, which is to
be tried for the first time this spring, has
may features puzzling to the average
voter. Indeed many men of intelli-
gence on such matters are not alto
gether clear in their Interpretation OF
the law. Like every new and complex
thing, it requires an experimental to dem
onstrate its workings-like operating a
piece of machinery. In an article we
published last week from the pen of
City Attorney Nj. B. Rosenberg it was
made plain what number of signatures
candidate for office must have before
the primaries are held. To this we will
this week append additional informa-
ton for the benefit of candidates for
city offices and for aldermen. The
law states that a candidate for city
Office must have the signatures of at
least three per cent. of his party's vote
cast in the city at the last presidential
election, and not more than ten per
cent. A candidate for ward office
must have the signatures of at least
three per cent. of his party's vote in his
aodrd and not more than ten per cent.
The vote by wards in this city for presi-
dent at the last election was as given in
the tables below:

CITY COUNCIL.

An adjourned session of the city coun-
Gil was held last Tuesday evening for
the purpose of receiving plans for a
new city hall, but the plans were not
submitted.
Albert Kummerow, who has been un-
able to work for several years on ac-
count of rheumatism, asked that the
taxes on his property at 7l9 Scott street
be cancelled Referred to committee
on claims.
E. Rosenbaum asked that $1.25 taxes
on a horse and gold watch which he
has not owned for year, be refunded
Referred to same committee.
The petition of Janke & Weise, asking
that water mains be laid to a point
south of the fair grounds where the
company expects to build two large
factory buildings in the spring, was
favorably acted upon. The contention
was raised that the mains could not be
laid until streets in that section had
been laid out and dedicated. &.
Winton, owner of propery in that sec
ton, was present, and stated that he
would guarantee the fulfillment of that
part of the matter. The resolution as
passed calls for the laying of the pipes
as soon as the streets have been dedi-
Gated. In the meantime Janke &
Weise will have rock, lumber and
other building material hauled to the
site.

The figures in the second and third
columns represents the minimum and
maximum number of names required
of a ward candidate, and the bottom
line of each table indicates how
many names candidate for city office
must have.
As 1904 was an "off'' year for the
democratic candidates and coming pri-
mary nominations are to be governed
by that vote, it will readily be seen that
republican candidates must do more
hustling for signatures for their nons..a-
alton papers than the democrats.
Another feature about the primary
law, and queer one at that-in fact it
is all queer-is that there is no splitting
allowed at the primaries. If there is but
one candidate for mayor, John Doe,
you must vote for that candidate no
matter what your personal feelings
may be toward him and for all the
other men on that ticket, yet you can
turn around and help defeat John Doe,
whose nomination you furthered. 1t is
a good deal like dog biting the hand
| that feeds him.

CLOSE TO DEATH.

Last Thursday afternoon, while Fred
Brown, a young man % years of age,
was hauling slabs to the Ruder Brew
ing Co.'s plant, he came very near
losing his life. He had something over
three cords of slabs on a large sleigh
and was going across the bridge south
of the city towards Grand avenue.
The horses could not get the load over
the G. & N. w. R'y. track, the hind bobs
sticking fast. Brown climbed off the
load and tried to help by pushing
This availed nothing, so he climed up
again to get strong slab which he
could use as a lever. He was on the
back end of the load and while in the
act of pulling out the slab, a train
approached, as it turned the curve, a
short distance from the stalled team,
the engineer took in the situation and
blew the whistle, this frightened the
team and with quick jerk and a
supreme effort the sleigh was pulled
from the track, but it was disastrous
for Brown, who fell backwards from
the load striking the cow-catcher of the
train; he was carried along for some
distance and then thrown down the
embankment. The train was stopped
and Brown picked up unconscious,
bleeding badly from his nose and
mouth, but, strange to say, there were
no bones broken. The engineer said
that in all of his experience on the road
it was the most miraculous escape
he had ever known. Brown was soon
able to be taken home but was found
to be mass of bruises, from his head
to his feet. He was not laid up from
the effect of the accident and felt
mighty good to think he got off with
his life. If ne had dropped just one
second sooner. he would have been
killed outright Young Brown is a
very strong and active, otherwise the
result might have been different.

TO ARRANGE DATES.

A meeting will be held in the Bells
hotel tomorrow by Representatives OF
different fair associations in this circuit
for the purpose of fixing dates for hold
ing county fairs, arranging speed pro-
gram, amount of purses, etc. The coun-
ties in the circuit last year were Lin
coin, Marathon, Langlade, Waupaca
and Outagamie, but it is quite likely
that this year the circuit will be en-
larged, as Fond duaLac, Winnebago,
Portage and Wood counties would like
to get in. An effort is being made in
the eastern part Of the state to arrange
an eastern circuit which will include
the Fox river valley towns, but ii is
thought it will no carry. If it should,
there are other towns that will take
Appleton's place.
At present the officers of the circuit
are
President-Geo. Hill, Amigo.
Secretary-L K Wright, Wausau.
Treasurer-G A. Mills, Wausau.
AT the meeting tomorrow the Mara
thon County Agricultural society will
be represented by M. II. Duncan, L. K
Wright and DR.. Mills.

INCORPORATION WINS.

Another chapter in the matter of in
cooperating the village of Unity was
rounded out this week when the
supreme court quaShed the proceedings
brought by Salter and Vogt as obiectors
to the proposition.
The history of the rise and fall of the
village of Unity as well as the subse-
quent attempt to re-incorporate it, is
familiar to most of our readers. There
fore we gladly refrain from giving the
details as to how, practically one man
one knocker, has by the most contempt.
ible methods and by the use of his own
as well as the taxpayers money,
blocked the wheels of progress for over
two years.
While the incorporation of the village
could not possibly be prevented nor is
there any good reason why it should be
yet by caicanery and tickery it has beer
delayed, greatly to the detriment of the
town and its business.
The matter will be voted on in Marcf
and the votes cast against it can, in al
| probability, be counted on your finger.

C0ASTING CALAMITY.
Calvin Crocker Run Over and Has Foot
Crushed. A Narrow Escape.

While Siding in the rear of his home,
about five o'clock last Wednesday even
ing, little Calvin Crocker, eldest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. L. o. Crocker, met with a
lamentable mishap, which has called
forth the sympathy of the entire com
munity. The ground along First street,
where the Crocker home is situated,
slopes towards the G. NJ & ST. Paul
transfer track and the river and just at
this spot, children have been accus-
omed to coast down hill for thirty or
more years, the wonder being that
never before has catastrophe occurred
| On this occasion, little Calvin, who
| is only between seven and eight years
old, had been sliding in company with
another boy and when the latter went
home, remained to further enjoy the
exhilerating sport. His mother had
not been home long and was sitting by
the window holding younger child
and watching him slide A crust had
formed upon the snow and as he lay
flat upon the sled while starting down
the incline, he turned his head smiled
and called to her Its awful slippery,
Mamma" Just then Mrs. Crocker
saw the switch engine rounding the
curve, she looked to see her little son
60 onto the track and knew that he
must be struck The next minute it
seemed, they were bringing him in,
with his right foot crushed, and placing
him in her arms. There is barn near
the track that obstructs the view, so the
train men could not see the child until
they were almost upon him. Then they
must have stopped the engine quickly
or the life would have been sacrificed.
AS it was the sled had been totally
demolished and the body of'the child
rolled and pushed some distance. Be-
sides the steering foot, which had been
caught beneath the wheels, cut ex-
tended along the head for several
inches and examination revealed that
on each side of this the skin had been
shaved from the bone, the marvel be-
ing that no fracture resulted The
little fellow did not lose consciousness,
refused to take liquor and asked his
mamma if they would have to cut off
his foot.
DR.. d. T. Jones was summoned and
assisted by Drs. Spencer and H. L.
Rosenberry, amputated the right leg
two or three inches below the knee
joint. The child-patient is doing we'll
and although he must pitiably suffer,
he is the recipient of a loving care, and
there is no doubt but that he will
recover. At the time the disaster
occurred, his father was away and he
could not return until early the next
morning, but the mother bore up brave
ly and now both parents are doing
everything in their power to comfort
their distressed boy. They do not
attach blame to anyone and consider it
fortunate, under the circumstances,
that Calvin is spared to them and that
his brain was not injured by the blow
upon the skull.

THE EFFECT.

J. Q. Emery, of the state dairy and
food commission, who spoke before an
audience in the court house here a short
time ago, is reported to be highly
pleased at the present situation existing
among manufacturers and wholesalers
of food products who are jumping over
one another in their efforts to correctly
label impure goods or remove them out
of the state. They are sending out men
to stores handling their goods and re-
labelling articles on the shelves or re-
moving them entirely and are furnish
ing each dealer with a certificate of a
guaranty of purity The lecture men,
toned has had its effect in Wausau, so
grocers say, and many people will not
purchase goods unless they know them
to be pure. They shun new brands of
unknown merit and exercise more eau
ton in their purchases. Shortly after
the lecture, we mentioned the fact that
a representative of we'll known pre-
serving company visited Wausau a few
days after Mr. Emery was here and re-
moved lot of catsup from the shelves
of several dealers. This was old stock
and was replaced by new goods. The
old stock, ne claimed, contained artifi-
cial coloring, but since 1902, he said,
his firm had not used any artificial
coloring. We have since learned that
the same firms catsups shipped into
Wisconsin have caused dealers to be
prosecuted by the commission as late as
last year, 1905. Thus it may be that the
manufacturers apparant scramble to
label goods to come under the require
ments of the law may in part be but a
gloss. There will be knaves and rogues
as long as the world exists.

Marathon county is certainly great
agricultural and dairy county. Motif
cation was received during the fall
that our grains and grasses had re-
ceived first premium at the st. Louis
worlds fair and two of the COWS on the
Helendale farm have recently estab-
lished new worlds records for amount
of milk and butter fat produced in
year. Now the same herd of Guernseys
on that farm have added new laurels
for the county by the butter produced
on the farm and exhibited at the
| annual convention of the Wisconsin
Dairymen's association, held last week
in Waukesha, being awarded first
premium over all other competitors in
the state. The butter scored 974 points
and the fact that it was made up here
in the wild" country will be good
advertisement for this section. Mr.
Rietbrock's COW, Yeksa Sunbeam,
which established new record in the
aged COW class, came in for a great
deal of discussion at that convention.
A recent ruling of the postal de-
partment to abolish service on rural
| free deliveries that are not paying will
not effect the four routes leading out
Of Wausau Where less than 1000
pieces of mail are handled monthly. SER
vice will be given only on certain days
in the weeks, or where conditions are
bad, the service will be cut out entirely.
The four carriers on the Wausau routes
handle on an average of over 5000
pieces of mail every month. Begin
ming with the first of the year the local
carriers received orders not to make
any more monthly reports on the num-
Der of pieces delivered and collected,
only keeping record of the time they
work
The directors of the Beloit base ball
club have commenced suit against the
| Wisconsin league to recover $500 forfeit
money posted with the league at the be-
ginning of last season as a guarantee
that the club would complete its sched-
ule. The officers of the league claim
that the club did not finish the season
because it failed to appear in Wausau
for the last three games To counteract
this claim it is quite likely that the
Wausau club will begin suit against the
Beloit club for the forfeit money which
should have been paid for non-appear-
ance at the last three games, amount
| ing to $3.50.

WILL BE HERE FOR THE FAIR.

L. K. Wright, secretary of the Mara
thon county fair, while in attendance
at the dairymen's meeting in Wauke-
sha last week, made arrangements with
II. l.. Russell, state bacteriologist, to
be present at the last day of the Mara
thoncounty fair. A condemned tuber-
culous COW will be slaughtered on that
occasion, and the workings of the dis
ease will be practically demonstrated
This post mortem examination will give
the farmers an opportunity that will
mean much to them. The widespread
distribution of this disease in Wiscon-
sin, and especially its insiduous devel-
opment, which permits of its establish
ing itself without the owner of herd
of cattle even being aware of
the fact, makes this question of
bovine tuberculosis of special import
ance to the stock interests. This item
alone is worth more to the farmers than
any circus attraction the management
could furnish.
