NUMEROUS IMPROVEMENTS

The Wausau Gas Co. is planning on
making numerous extensions during
the summer months and will lay several
miles of mains Work was begun last
week, but on account of the succeeding
cold weather the crew was temporarily
laid of. At present several changes
arc being made in the plant. Several
retorts are being torn down and are
being replaced by new ones The
maximum life of "A retort is about four
years, but the ones being torn dow.
were built only three years ago. fhe
masonry employed in building one of
these retorts requires the work of an
expert and "A man from st. Louis will
have charge Of the work. Some time
during the summer a crusher plant will
be Installed at Il cost of about 5 100
throagh which the coke will be run
Coke as it now comes from the plant is
of little use in self feeding coal stove,
because the pieces are so large that
they clog up the feed allowing the fire
10 be extinguished. When the coke is
run through the crusher this difficulty
will be obvated. Another important
change which probably will be made
this coming summer will be the install
9atlon of a water gas plant This is the
only gas nsed in great many cities.
The ingredients used in its composition
are coke, water and crude oil IT is
said to have several advantages over
the common gas The making of all cf
these contemplated improvements will
mean the expenditure of thousands of
dollars

FIELD DAY.

Sunday was Law and Order Field
Lay IN Wansau and several of the Anti.
Saloon leagne workers were in the city
ana spoke in various places as follows:
AT 1890 O'CLOCK A. NJ.
First Presbyterian church, A. II.
Lechlel, district superintendent of
Anti-Saloon league.
| First Methodist church, Il. Nj Hare,
state superintendent.
UGiversalist church, F. G. Weed,
superintendent of law enforcement
AT 400 O'CLOCK p NJ.
General mass meeting in First Pres
byterlan church, addressed by several
speakers. Ripon College Glee clpb
FURNISHED vocal music.
AT 7:30 O'CLOCK P. NJ
Union meeting of German churches
in German NJ f. church. Addresses
were made in German and English by
A. H. Zechiel.
Swedish NJ f church, address in
English, by T. M Hare
First Baptist church, + e.. Weed.
While Sunday was about the most
disagreeable day that could have been
picked out, it having showed all day
long and part of the night previous,
still the speakers were greeted by large
audiences. This was especially so at
the mass meeting held in the First
presbyterian church IN the afternoon
at O'clock. The addresses at the var
ions churches were upon about the
same lines. The speakers tod the on-
ject of the Anti Saloon league, for the
interest of which they were laboring.
The league was at work all the time in
every community trying to build up pub
nc sentiment against the liquor traffic.
Where communities voted to license
saloons, the league worked with citi-
zens to see that laws were not violated
In places where mo license" was voted,
the league bent every effort to see that
there WAS no liquor sold. During the
twenty years in which the league had
been n existence, the speakers said that
from few workers that there were
now organizations in forty-iive states
in the union, and in those states, in
about every city, was organized Law
and Order League, and now nearly half
OF the population of our country was
living in communities where no liquor
was allowed to be sold They also
showed that the league had been at
work only three years in Wisconsin and
il was making wonderful strides, as
was demonstrated by the number of
"nO license" towns now in the state.
The league watches legislation and
works for the passage of new and more
stringent laws The speakers alluded
to the attempt of August Marquardt,
assemblyman from this county, to have
a bill passed at this session of the legis-
lature that would render the present
law, in reference TO the revocation of
saloon licenses, of no account whatever,
as a most stupendous blunder, and
which was subjectmg Marquardt to all
sorts of ridicule. They further said
that the bill was being carefully watched
and did not think it would get out of
the hands of the committee, and that
the citizens of Wausau could be in
measure thanked for this, on account
OF the promptness in which they sent in
their petitions against the action of
Assemblgman Marquardt. All the con-
clusion on the services, cards were
passed about asking for subscriptions
in the work.

NO FINAL ACTION.

The matter of re-paving S. Third
street, which has been hanging fire for
several months, was briefly wrestled
with again on Thursday night last by
the council II was reported TO the
council I. at bids for materials bad been
received as follows, the figures being for
a square yard: Creosoted blocks, 81 S5
vitriiied brick, SELL bithulithic, TIC.
Members of the special committee urged
that no action be taken for the present.
because the committee and board of
public works cannot agree upon re-
port. 1t is a well settled fact that no
matter what is chosen there will be a
large expense TO property holders and
the committee and board of public
works do nat feel like advising the
council to take any hasty action. 1t is
felt that the matter should be carefully
weighed before final action is taken and
that such may be done. the council de
cided to do nothing Thursday night,
but to give the committee three weeks
more time, during which every proper
ty owner on the street will be con
suited and it is likely that whatever the
majority favor, that material will be
used
1t was stated on the floor of the coun-
ell chamber that the committee men,
bers and board of public works cannot
agree as to choice Of materials. Messrs.
Marquardt, Wolf and Flatter favor
creosoted blocks, while Messrs. Dun
can, Nutter and Ewing think the bithu-
lithic pavement the best suited to the
city's needs. Not one is in favor of
brick. Messrs. Nutter and Marquardt,
who went out on tour of investigation,
did not bring home very favorable re-
port on brick as a paving material 1t
has several drawbacks, principal of
which is the noise which is produced
the clatter of horses feet. 1t is under
stood that those who favor the bithu-
lithic, do so principally from a financial
standpoint. They feel that the city is
not able to stand the expense of creo-
soted blocks, or some other expensive
material, for street crossings-the part
which the city must pay for. Besides
this they favor bithulithic because we
have The materials right at home. They
claim that it can be laid by the city even
cheaper than the figures In the bid, but
they shonld not overlook the fact that
some experience is required in laying a
bithulithic pavement which is perfect
and that poor job may be done unless
experienced men are employed. Anoth-
er thing which Messrs. Duncan, Ewing
and Nutter look at is the fact that n
nine years guarantee is given with
bithulithic, while only five years
guarantee is given with creosoted
blocks or block
1t was decided TO hold another coun-
Gil meeting April %, and it is quite
likely that the committee and board
will come to some agreement by that
time and that the council will then take
anfinn Tho Of I.ai
pany will perhaps tear up The middle Of
the street before the city gets started on
the work.

How much nearer TO each other the
nations of The world are today than
they We're n few decades ago. When
weeks and months were required to get
news from across the ocean the old
world seemed to be a long way off.
Now the whole earth is belted with iele-
graph and cable lines, and yesterday 5
happenings in Europe, Asia, Africa,
South America, Australia and the
islands of the sea are read at this morn
ing's breakfast table. Distance is ami
hilated and the nations are becoming
friendly neighbors in consequence
The marvellous change is brought home
to the mind most strikingly upon read
ing a great modern newspaper whose
telegraphic news covers the whole
world each day-a paper such as THE
CHICAGO RECORD HERALD, which has a
veritible armyof correspondents in every
important city. In addition to its own
