MORE RAILROAD TALK.

In an interview with a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter in that city, Friday,
r. Koffel, a Berlin business man, is
credited with making the following
statement
1.-The work of building an extension
of the Milwaukee road from Berlin to
Schofeid, where it will tap the valley
division, will be begun early next spring
This extension will run through Wau-
kesha, Portage and Marathon counties
and will lessen the distance between
Milwaukee and Wausau about forty five
miles. 1t is undoubtedly the intention
of the Milwaukee road to build an air
line through to West Superior During
the winter many car loads of steel rails
have been brought to Berlin, from which
point the work of construction will
likely be begun. This line would pass
through an unusually rich section of
country, and one that would furnish a
good freight and passenger traffic. Gu
riously enough, this line would practi-
cally follow the old highway over which
the greater portion of all the supplies of
upper Central Wisconsin were hauled
by teams before the railroad invaded
that section. In those early days hun
dreds of teams were kept at WORK haul
ing supplies north from Berlin, and
now we are going back to the old
trail.n

THE ANNIHILAlI0N Or DIS
LANCE,

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be today
and really are today than was the case
a few decades agol When weeks and
months were required for communica-
ton between the United States and
Europe the countries of the OLD world
appeared to be a long way off. Now
the circumference of old earth is belted
with telegraph and cable lines in every
possible direction. What happens to-
day in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,
South America and the great islands of
the sea is made known to us tomorrow
by great newspapers like TIE CHICAGO
RECORD HERALD, whose foreign cores
pondents are located in every import
ant city in the world outside of the
United States In addition to its own
staff correspondents THE RECORD HER
AID enjoys the foreign news service of
the New York Herald famous for
many years for the reliability of its
foreign news; the New York World,
and also CT that great cooperative
newsgathering association, the AS
ISOLATED Press. No other daily newspa-
per in America possesses facilities so
varied and extensive for covering the
news of all nations.

COLD SNAP.

Zone touch of nature makes all the
world a kim" One touch of winter
makes us think of last summers bird s
nest. The past three days have been
fairly cold-stil!, not so bad. In con-
sideration of the quality of weather
dealt out to us so far this winter, we
offer apologies to the weather man for
any criticism of the kind furnished the
past few days. Saturday evening at
five O'Clock the government Their
mometer registered 81 degrees above o.
Then it turned colder and before Mon
day the alcohol dropped to 20 below, a
change of "a degrees. A telegram was
received at five o'clock Saturday even
ing by the local weatherman, Henry
Belize, stating that Monday would
probably be the coolest day of the year.
The weather bureaus deduction proved
to be correct. Still we can't complain
it is only a touch of what we have
been missing all winter and can't last
long. 1t has put damper on mosqui-
toes and it is reported that the robins
headed this way, relying upon reports
of an open winter in this section, have
turned around and gone back south.

The fire department answered three
calls sunday. Two were chimney fires
and one a trousers fire. A boarder in
one of the boarding houses across the

evening, discovered that pair of
trousers he had hung across a chair
back had ii. some mysterious manner
caught fire, and the department was
summoned
The work of building new vaults for
the National German American bank
will begin in week or two. When tie
work of re-arranging the building has
progressed to certain stage, where
there is tendency to interfere with the
banks business, the bank will be moved
to the McCrossen building until the
present and additional quarters have
been remodeled
There will be a regular meeting of
the city council this evening at which
several important matters will come
up to be acted upon. One of these we
learn is new plan for the betterment
of the water condition. The plan, so
far as we can learn, is to cut off the
intake trench and drive a number of
six inch wells-enough to give suffi-
Gent water supply.
G. E. Downer, who was a few weeks
since building mythical electric rail
ways throughout Marathon county,
is talking again. This time he is
going to build a railroad through Lang
lade county and will file articles of in
corporation with the secretary of state
for a company capitalized at S500,000
He says he has recently decided !, 100
acres of coal mining lands in Illinois 70
companies for $1,000 and a tract of
timber land in Michigan to lumbermen
for S3S, 400. Thus he is pretty well
fixed" Why he abandoned the plan

This morning while Frank Anderson,
mail carrier, was delivering mail to ST.
Marys hospital he was attacked by
large black dog belonging to Emil
Nitchie, of the west side. The dog
made a lunge toward him, knocking
him down, and scattering his mail on
the side walk. By exercising the art of
diplomacy Frank succeeded in getting
into the hospital without further attack
and then telephoned for a policeman.
Officer Hogan responded and when the
latter reached the hospital he found
Anderson still ''treed' on the hospital
porch, the dog standing guard below.
Officer Hogan took several shots at the
dog, wounding him, but the dog got
away. 1t is quite likely that demand
will be made on the owner to have
the animal killed

THREE DIE IN FIRE.

Three lives were lost in fire at Prem
tice, Wis, on Saturday morning last
and fourth, Mrs. Grand Stewart, may
die, having escaped from the house in
her night clothes, walking through the
snow to neighbours leaving her O.
hour old babe to die with its father.
The fire was due to the explosion of a
lamp at about O'clock in the morning
The occupants of the house were Mrs.
William Stewart and child nine
months old, and Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
Stewart, and their two children. The
oldest child of Grant Stewart was two
years old, and the other the infant.
When the fire was discovered, the house
was so enveloped in flames that Mrs.
William Stewart and her child were the
only ones able to get to the door. The
escape of the others was cut off by the
out of bed, not waiting to wrap her in a
blanket. He lifted her out of the win
dow, but not before she was frightfully
burned about the face, chest and arms.
She is in precarious condition, and if
she lives will lose one of her hands.
The news of her husbands death is kept
from her. When she escaped through
the window, she walked through the
deep snow to the home of Mrs. j. W..
Hicks, where she was cared for tender
ly. Nothing could be done to save the
others, for as soon as Mrs. Stewart was
out of the window the flames seemed to
burst from every window of the house.
When the bodies of the husband and
the two children were found, Stewards
remains were covering the day old babe,
as if to save its life, but his own body
was charred to crisp. The body of
the oldest child was found in its crib.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.

On Thursday evening last, at about
the hour of six, Dr. E g. Clark, one OF
the county's oldest settlers, died at the
home of his son, Geo w. Clark, on the
west side. MIR Clark had been i'll for
several weeks with stroke of paralysis.
At times he was dangerously near
death. but about week previous to his
demise, he had so far recovered that he
was able to be up and about the house.
He then suffered relapse and failed
rapidly until the end came. The fun
eral was held Sunday afternoon from
the First NJ. E. church, the Rev Frances
FL. Brigham, conducting services.
Elon G. Clark was born in June,
1926, in the state of New York, and was
therefore nearly eighty years of age,
and though so far advanced in years,
he was a remarkably well preserved
man. Up to his late sickness he had
scarcely suffered day of illness, and
streets at all times, no matter whss the
weather might be. Some of the great
physical strength of his younger days
he had retained in old age, and few
men of his years are as active as was
he. In his youth he received a COM
mon school education in his native
state. Then he became possessed of an
ambition TO become a physician and
studied medicine and was admitted to
practice. For time after coming to
Wisconsin he abandoned the profess
sion, but later resumed practice in Wau-
sau. For several years past he had
been selling medicines of his own manu-
facture and with considerable success.
Mr. Clark came to Marathon county in
1855 and three years later moved his
family here from New York For four
years he lived on a farm, on Cedar
creek, few miles south of the city, and
then moved to Wausau. With the ex-
ception of some little time spent on his
farm west of the city, in the town of
Flieth, he had been resident of Wau,
to nearly everyone in town.
To err is human; to make mistakes is
common with the race, yet lucky is the
man who can travel life's pathway to
its end and have no enemies This Mr..
Clark did. His line of action was such
that every acquaintance respected him.
With consideration for other people,
with evenly balanced temperament, a
kindly word for everyone, giving advice
only when it was sought and attentive
to the wishes of others, he made life
long friends with people with whom he
became acquainted. AS a reward, the
descent of the hill in the sunset of life
was made in peace and contentment.
Three sons and one daughter survive
him. They are George W. and Fred.
H., of this city, and Frank L., of Wheel
ing, w. Va, and Mrs. Geo. Upper, of
Vancouver, Wash All, with the ex-
ception of Frank, were at his bedside at
his death The latter visited him few
weeks ago.
Mr. Clark's wife preceded him to the
grave seven years ago. The late Tom
Clark, the "sage of Cedar creek" was a
brother of deceased.
The following named old friends of
deceased acted as pail bearers Robert
Parcher, d. M. Maxson, j. A. Jones, A.
II. Grout, j. N Manson and Joseph
Gamble
