COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.
EAU CLAIRE NEIGHBoRHooD.

Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Kaufman and
daughter who have been spending the
winter in the neighborhood have re-
turned to their home at Fond du Lac.
Two gentlemen who were in the
neighborhood Thursday selling sewing
machines had rather narrow escape.
The ice and logs had jammed just below
Dennis Roach's place causing the road
to be covered with water for some dis
lance and carrying away the bridge
over the creek. These gentlemen de-
liberately drove into the open creek and
had it not been that help was near at
hand the results might have been SER
ious, as it is perhaps their getting damp
will be lesson to them to look out for
open creeks when the water is high.

cEGoRGE

Every year for several years the St.
Paul Ry. Co. has had trouble near
Granite Heights by having its tracks
overfiowed when the ice breaks up in
the spring The same difficulty was ex-
perienced last week, only worse than
ever before. There is bend in the
river there and ever since the Brokaw
dam was raised the flow of water is not
rapid enough and ice jams form. At
the Heights there is low place along
the banks which the company's tracks
traverse, also long ''filr' with the river
on one side and swamp on the other.
1t is at this point that the high water
raises cain
Last Thursday jam formed across
the river just opposite Anderson Bros.
& Johnson's granite works about half a
mile above the Heights and it was soon
apparent that the worst overflow in
years was coming. The water arose
so rapidly that that firm had just time
in which to draw the fire from the
oOA1Clc III tuC cugluO lOOLh lAOh
the hands bad to run to get out of the
way. Soon there was six feet of water
in the engine room. In some places
the ice piled up above the normal level
of the water ten feet, raising the water
back of it to a great height. A cur
rent crossed the track in several places
washing it out, raising the ties and
rails out of the water in some places
and in some instances twisting and
bending the rails. Half mile or more
of track was submerged. On Friday
the ice gorge broke ard moved further
down the river and reformed, causing
more track to be washed out.
The passenger train coming down
Thursday night could not get through
ands passengers and baggage were
ferried across the water or carried
around it to meet the train from the
south which then returned to Babcock
after making a like delivery to the
north train.
In this way traffic was kept up for
three days and all freight and logging
trains were tied up completely. 1t was
even dangerous to run a hand car over
the submerged portion of track.
On Saturday the ice jam broke,
allowing the water to recede, and
crew of men under direction of the
roadmaster, was set to work to repair
the damage. Gravel and rock were
hauled and dumped into the holes
washed out and soon trains were able
to cross. During the time of the flood
an operator was sent up daily from
here to keep officials posted on condi-
tons. The flood caused considerable
loss to the company, aside from the
damage to the track, and the travelling
public and shippers were greatly incon-
venienced.
1t is said the company will make
some radical changes this summer with
reference to obviating this annual
trouble.

ALL MONEY IN.

The county treasurer has collected all
taxes for the current year. the last one
TO make settlement being Henry Juers.
OF the city, who turned over his money
last Saturday. The total amount col
lected this year in the various towns is
S., 2Ss 30 less than year ago in spite of
the fact that $40, 600 was put in the tax
levy as third of the amount approp-
rated for building the county poor
house and further that the appropria-
ton for roads and bridges is larger.
Only a small amount of the total col
lected by each town finds its way into
the county treasury. 1t is paid over to
the treasurer and then the largest por-
ton is paid back to the town for school
money, bridge tax, etc, all in the same
transaction, each treasurer issuing
receipts to the other.
Notwithstanding the prosperous
times, the total amount of delinquent
tax this year is larger than last year by
S5940. The town of Pike Lake, as usual,
makes the largest return. while of the
towns, outside the villages, Berlin and
Rib Falls have none. The amounts
returned by the different towns this year
are as follows:

WORK RESUM Ed.

I. w. Parsons, of Oil City, Pa, who
has supervision of the work of building
the line of the Wausau Street Railway
Co., arrived in the city last Saturday
and has again taken up the work of
building. A crew was secured yester-
day and ties and rails are being dis
tributed over the graded portion of the
route to Schofeld, which reaches to
the Fullmer home. The balance of the
line into Schofeld, about 800 feet, it is
hoped to have graded by next Saturday
night. In the mean time crew will
be at work stringing wire.
1t is hoped to have the line from
Third street to Schofeld so far com,
pleted by the second week in May that
cars may run over it though the opera
ton of cars may be deferred for two
weeks or more. 1t is thought work
will begin on Third street at an early
date. The heavy rails fer this portion
of the road are expected here in few

THE ART EXHIBIT.

The art exhibit given in the store
building of Manson & Weinfeld on
Third street, by the Humboldt school
committee, was a great success. The
exhibit came from Braun, Character
q Clement, of New York City,
who are the foremost art dealers
in this country. All of the pictures
we're reproductions of famous pictures
from the galleries and churches
of Europe, and were gotten through A.
W. Mumm. Ten cents admission was
charged and refreshments were served
and home made rugs sold. The income
from refreshments, entrance fees and
rugs was turned into the Humboldt and
Lincoln school picture funds. Over
$500 worth of pictures were purchased
for the schools. Everybody was very
much pleased with the exhibit.

TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS.
Druggist Explains Why Many Men
FIRE Chewing Gum.

do | sell much chewing gum?" said
Denver druggist in response to an
idle question from man who was in
the store waiting for car We'll, /
should say / did. And, queer as ii may
seem. great many of those who buy
it are men. Why do they get it? Well,
I'll tell you. They buy it to use in
breaking themselves of habits. A man
will think he's smoking too much and
viii want to quit. He'll drop tobacco
and take up chewing gum. The gum
gives his mouth something to do and
through its use he finds it easier to
keep away from cigars. Another man
will quit drinking. He wants some
thing to do with his mouth-in fact
must have ching. Therefore he
takes to chewing gum. I have even
known dope fiends to use gum in order
to quit using the drugs. Gum Is a
great thing as habit breaker. Why,
some day even expect to see men
chew gum in or6er to quit gambling,
fighting with their wives, etc. Women
chew lots Of gum, but men use almost
as much denver Post

gifts were brought for the guest of hon
or. Hearts were played and the prizes
were won by The Misses Margaret Dun
bar and Bel Murray. At the close of
card playing large basket in which
were the presents, was brought into the
room and each one of the guests took a
package therefrom and presented it to
Miss Haskin. Refreshments were
served. 1t was very enjoyable occa-
sion.
When the employees Of the United

Office door Friday morning they immed-
lately backed out and took a second
look at the office sigI TO make sure that
they had not got iDto the wrong place.
They imagined az first that they had
struck henDcry. The facts are that
the night before several crates of live
chickens were received for local meat
markets, and as it was too late for
delivery that evening, they were left in
the office over night. Somehow in the
morning the chickens succeeded in
liberating themselves and Immediately
took possession of the place. The roost-
ers sought the tops of desks where they
could flap their wings and crow, and
the Growing attracted the attention of
everyone passing by. 1t took extra
efforts of the office force to round them
up and again imprison them.

LIBRARY DEDICATION.

Those having in charge the work of
arranging program for the formal
opening of the free public library, have
completed their work and the same will
be carried out tomorrow evening and
the library board hopes to have large
attendance of Wausau's citizens who
are interested in the welfare of one of
our best public institutions. That
adults may have an opportunity of
witnessing the exercises, the board has
decided to limit the attendance to adults
only.
The first part of the program will be
carried out in the library, where the
library board, city officials and city
council will assemble and the contrac-
tors will turn the building over to the
trustees and city. The board will
accept the building and the exercises
here will close with hymn by the high
school chorus.
At eight O'Clock the program in the
opera house will begin with an overture
by Cones band. The balance of the
program is as follows:
Introduction ........... Louis Marchetti
Song. .......... ............High school chorus
The Relations Between the Library
and the Schools. B. Toby
As Man of Business Views the
Library. ....-.................C.E II. Turner
Song......................High school chorus
Wausau of the Future .....C. b. Bird
Maliciously inclined persons have
started the report that the prime object
of the meeting is to get as many people
together as possible, that donations can
be solicited. This statement is purely a
falsehood If such is the intention it
would be so advertised. The library
board is composed of some of Wausau's
most highly respected ladies and gentle
men and they would not lower them
selves to undetermined methods.
All of the addresses will be of import
ance to all our people and let everyone
turn but. We have long been clamor-
ing for library building and now that
we have one let everyone show his in
terest in it.

wind was from the north and it was
very cold. In fact so cold that the
warmest of winter wraps had to be
worn to keep comfortable All of the
churches had large congregations and
were handsomely decorated with flow
ers, ferns and plants. and in nearly all
programs had been arranged and were
carried out. Tas1en all in all, the day
was a very enjoyable one in many
ways. Many students were at home
from their respective colleges for a
vacation.
