HIS LIFE TERMINATED.

He is dead. His cold form, instead
of being given a christian burial, was
cremated by an employee of the city.
His death was sudden. In one short
minute the grim reaper called, beckoned
with bony finger and he was called
home. 1t was an awful sight to witness.
His body was mutilated, allowing the
exposure to public gaze of vital organs,
as his life blood ebbed away. And the
few who witnessed his death did not go
to his assistance. Instead, they showed
their uncharitable nature by making
scornful remark and passing on. There
was convulsive vibration of the body
which lasted but a few seconds, gasp
and all was DER. The eye which had so
often defied one of the eity's officials,
known as Andrew Peterson, was for
ever dimmed, and no more will he gam
boil on the green sward with compan-
ions, or gazing at the silvery moon on a
midsummer night will he ever again
disturb the quiet and peacefulness of
his neighborhood with sounds which
lar the nerves of those who seek rest
and get it not. No tombstone will mark
his grave; no Grey will write an eligy
for him. "Unwept, unhonored and un
sung" will be his lot. Poor Tige, the
opera house canine. will never again
attempt to cross the track in front of
street car as he did last Tuesday even
ing. An he got out of it was a ride to
the dumping ground.

The talk given by Charles Turner,
before the city council last Tuesday,
concerning the fire protection of our
city was very opportune and to the
point. Wausau needs better fire pro-
lection and needs it bad. The question
is show to get it," 1t is very certain
that all the power that can be placed
at the water works station will not
give adequate protection in the out
skirts of our city because the mains are
too small 1t seems that the only
remedy at hand is to purchase more
steam fire engines and place them
where they can be put into use at the
earliest possible moment. One in the
manufacturing district down the south
western part of the city and another in
the northern part. We are told that by
attaching the engine to hydrant all
the water necessary can be secured.
Something should be done and at once.
Now is the time Money spent in this
way will save to our city thousands of
dollars and practically insure the insti-
tutions which we now have, remaining
with u.s.

ACCORDING TO the opinion of former
Attorney General l.. M. Sturdevant,
special claim agent of Wisconsin, the
state has good chance of getting over
81 900, 900 from the federal government
for state timber lands within the Me-
nominee, Oneida, Lapointe and Court
Grizzlies Indian reservations. Mr.
Sturdevant is preparing bill which
will be introduced in congress next
December by one of the Wisconsin
senator's to reimburse the state for the
lands in question. For several weeks
Mr.. Sturdevant has been working on
the states claim and believes that by
the time the bill is introduced he will
be prepared to convince the committee
of congress of the justice of Wiscon-
sins claim. State Forester f. Nj.
Griffith has examined the lands claimed
by the state aud says that they contain
much valuable timber. MIR. Sturdevant
is also preparing to push Wisconsin's
war claims against the federal govern
ment during the coming winter. He
says that the state may recover over
q, 600, 600 on these claims.

I give free shows, and Arnoldo's per-
forming animals will be seen every day
while the fair is in progress. Both are
high class ATTRACTIONS.
On old soldiers day every veteran in
the county, whether he belong to Cutler
Post or not, is urgently invited TO
attend the fair and participate in the
camp fire. The secretary, Mr. Duncan,
will aim to send every "vet" a free
ticket for that day. They are wanted
on the grounds at noon so chat they
may be present when the roast OK is
served. Arrangements are under way
to rave speakers make some addresses
that day.
The accompanying program will
show the reader that Sept. II will be
busy week in Wausau. All that is re-
quired to make it hummer" is fair
weather.
The ladies who have charge of the
domestic department have decided that
they want doll booth this year and
they are going to have one. The invita-
ton is sent out to every little girl in the
county to dress doll and bring the
same to the fair. These dolls will be
judged and prizes given. The secretary
is at present unable to state how many
premiums will be given, but there will
be quite number and tie ladies ask
that mothers encourage their little ones
to compete. This, it is thought, will
prove novel feature for the fair.

vert that octopus into national tax

THE legislature of Wisconsin has APP
propriated ten thousand dollars for the
purchase of land at tax sales. What
ever land any county becomes possessed
of from non-payment of taxes must be
offered to the Public Land Commits
sioner before it can be sold to anybody
else. The land so purchased is to be
added to the state forest reserves. In
this way the state can gradually recover
land which it has carelessly permitted
to pass into private hands ard be de-
spoiled of its wealth OF timber If the
state has held these timber lands from
the beginning it would have been i'm
mensely better off. 1t is to be hoped
that these denuded lands will be re-
forested and that, therefore, something
may yet be saved out of the wreck.

THIS country is now experiencing a
telegraphers' strike which promises to
spread to its remotest parts. The OBJ
iect is chiefly for higher pay and short
er hours. While the strike does not
become effective in the smaller cities,
with all the large offices
closed, it practically ties up the tele-
graphic service throughout the country.
The telephone is being put to test and
it may develop that the telegraph is not
the whole thing after all.

A WOMAN in Port Jarvis, n. T., was

bitten by poisonous snake, the wound
being just below the cancer, and strange
to say the cancer was cured. Physicians
are now trying to figure out just the
curative qualities of the reptiles bite.

1t has been decided TO make no coun
ty exhibit at the state fair this year.
This decision was arrived at for the
reason that vegetables. in this section
are not quite up to Me standard this
year, owing to the cold, backward
spring. 1t is quite likely that we could
make as good a showing as southern
counties, but then we have honors
enough, having won first prize at the
state fair three times and once a red
ribbon, out of four annual exhibits.
The money which had been donated to
bear the expense of making county
exhibit will be used in making decora-
tons and in Illuminating the city.
Strings of electric lights, forming a
square, will be placed on Third street
at the following intersections At
jackson, Jefferson, Washington AID
Scott streets. The court house and
market squares will be lighted up, too.
Strings of electric lights will cover the
court house and as business men have
pledged themselves to decorate their
places, there is no doubt but what Wau-
sau will present a gala appearance.
Then, too, the city has donated money
for decorations, and citizens will decor
ate their private buildings, streets will
be swept clean before handa so that
Wausau will be attired in her neatest
dress that week.
During the entire week, every day,
the Metropolital Carnival Co. will have
its attractions on the fair grounds and
