1t looks very much as if the steel
bridge across the Wenatchee river at
this place would not be completed be-
fore fall. We would suggest that a
move be made to bridge the Icicle river
near the upper end of the Cascade Or
chards so that residents on the south
side could get to town by using the
upper bridge. The time is not far off
when the Icicle must be bridged. This
bridge could be built in two weeks al
ter the contract is let. AS things now
are residents of the south side have to
90 to Peshastin, eight or nine miles
out of the way to get to town with
bridge across the Icicle it would reduce
the distance to two miles.

LAW ENF0RCEME NT.

Last Sunday morning the topic in
many churches of our city was Law
Enforcement" The ministers who
were advertised to speak upon the ques-
ton, were as follows;
Rev. +. II. Brigham, M. f. church.
Rev. S. N. Wilson, Presbyterian
church.
Rev. T. B. T. Fisher, Universalist
church.
Rev Schnuet, German Baptist church.
Rev. A. M. Wieting, German M. f.
church.
Rev. f. A. Fuenfstueck, German Re-
formed church.
There was concerted action, as all
spoke upon the Sunday and night clos
ing of saloons and upon gambling, and
each handled the subject to his own
way of thinking. There were large
congregations Mt all of the churches
named The address made by Rev. t.
b. L. Fisher at the mems meeting of
the Y. NJ. c. A. on Sunday, December
22d, on the same question, brought
forth a letter from the Local Liquor
Dealers association. This has had the
effect of stirring up much interest in
the question which now promises to be-
come a real live issue in the coming
municipal election.

I73 BURIALS.

The Wausau Cemetery association
held its annual adjourned meeting Sat-
urday evening at the Office of Justice
r. N. Larner. S. M. Quaw was elected
q trustee for three years to succeed him
self. The other trustees are John Rim

then met and reelected the old officers
as follows:
Presidents. M. Quaw
Secretary-C. j. Winton.
Asst. Sec'y-R. N Larner.
Treasurer-John Ringle.
The association reports total of 113
burials during the year. q decrease of
20 over the previous year. In 1906 there
were 1893 and in 1905 total of IA.
Several persons have notified the
association that in their wills they have
made provision to leave sum in trust
which viii draw perpetual interest suf-
ficient to keep their lots in good repair
at all times. 1t requires about $50 year
ly to carry a lot along through the year
in presentable appearance.
The society does not contemplate any
Improvements in the near future.

ward laying out some more roads. The

CHRISTMAS JOTTINGS.

Christmas passed of in Wausau with
out any momeEtuous stir. On the day
previous, F. E. Schneider delivered
nearly hundred baskets of eatables,
clothing etc., among the city's poor,
purchased from a fund subscribed by
various citizens, known as the Record
Herald fund In making up the
baskets he was assisted by number of
ladies who met in the Y. M. G. A rooms.
To some families. small sacks of flour
were included with other articles.
On the day previous most people
thought it would be the first Christmas
in great many years when snow would
not be in evidence. But the weather
man fooled them. Snow began falling
Christmas eve and there was no let-up
until about eur inches had fallen. The
dry condition of the ground previously
made sleighing an impossibility, and
skating on the river was in measure
spoiled.
Many family reunions were reported
throughout the city, and many parties
were given. In a social way it was
about the equal of any old Christmas
we know of.
Trainmen for one day in the year
spent the whole day at home with their
families. There was no freight bust
ness on either road entering Wausau.

FOUND SAW IN CELL

Our readers will remember of recent
mention of the burglarizing of the r.
Connor Lbr. Co.'S store in Stratford
and of Otto Machtn pleading guilty to
the charge and being sentenced to.serve
term in the reformatory at Green Bay.
Since the prisoner was taken to the re-
formatory the sheriff has found an inn
provised saw secreted in the young
mans CELL 1t was made of case knife
which he had stolen at some time when
a meal was served him. In some way
or other he managed to make teeth in
it ~ knocking out small pieces by the
use of sJme heavy article. 1t was
probably done by holding it against a
cell bar and then striking the back of
the blade The find caused the sheriff
surprise for the young man was about
as yerdant appearing as one chances to
see. He had not been in this country
long and could speak but little English.
He is one of the last persons one would
suspect of planning such a thing. The
saw was carefully secreted in a blanket
and evidently was intended TO cut the
bars of the Jail. The sheriff has since
carefully examined the cell Machtn
occupied, but has been unable to find
any evidences of his having attempted
escape. Ii the fact of his having the
saw in his possession had been known
before sentence was pronounced, the
young fellow in all probability would
have got q longer term than ne is now
serving.

HIGH TAXES.

If the taxes continue to increase, in
the proportion in which they have in
our city, not only VIII it keep business
institutions from locating here but it
will in time drive out those already in
Wausau. A poor man with his little
home, cow snd small amount of
other property finds it just as hard to
thrive under such heavy load. Here
is the experience of one of our citizens
who owns a home. He has taken the
amount of his taxes for five years
previous to 1907, and the aver
sge is 1881. This year his taxes
amounted to s67.l0, or nearly So per
cent. higher than his average tax for
five years previous. His tax this year
is 50 per cent. higher than the lowest
amount paid during the five years and
sl.s higher than the highest. This is
the experience Of about all of our tax
payers. While the PILoT is aware that
there has been much to do in the line of
street work, improvement of our water
works, etc. still it does not believe the
work accomplished in 1907, warrants
the enormous expenditures and the
consequent large increase of taxation
Economy in municipal affairs and lower
taxes must come IL Wausau is to con-
tinue TO prosper.

ANNUAL BANQUET.

The last annual banquet to be given
in the old Y. M G. A. building was at
tended last Friday evening by nearly
fifty of the Business Mems class. Sup
per was furnished by the Ladies' Aux
iliary and, as usual at such functions, a
tempting menu of good things was Of
ferea. G. G. Parlin acted as toast
master, and the speaking program was
of an informal nature. Mr.. Parlin, C.
B. Bird, l.. Sexmith and others ad-
dressed those present and their remarks
were directed chiefly to what can be ac-
complished in the new building and
what must be done in the future toward
securing a larger membership, etc.
During MIR. Sexmith's remarks it de-
veloped that another campaign for
funds may be inaugurated for the pur-
pose of buying the properly north and
east of the building. If this property
can be purchased the Wausar Y M. c..
A. will have the finest building and
grounds of any association in the state,
at least of any city of its size. The
banquet, while parting meeting in the
old building, was not because of the
memory of many pleasant event in
that building, a sorrowful one, but on
the contrary was full of life, with an
ticipations of greater and happier ones
which will be held in the new structure.

TOOK DESPERATE MEANS.

On the front page of this paper men
ton is made of an attempt on the part
of Rudolph Fulweiler to escape from
the state prison. This bold attempt
has set Sheriff O'Connor thinking and
considering several things which
happened while the prisoner was locked
up in the Marathon county Jail. The
sheriff feels that he was lucky in land
ing Fulweiler behind the prison bars.
After the man made his attempt to
get away from the sheriff one day while
being taken back to jail, after being
bound over for trial, he became surly
and watched every move the sheriff
made. The sheriff had one experience
with him and decided to take no more
chances. Here is a story concerning
Fulweiler showing the desperate
character of the man, which has never
been given to the public:
One day woman who was visiting
her husband who was confined in the
Jail, was seen talking through the cage
to talweiler She was overheard to
tell him that the sheriff was about to
depart for Sparta with three children
which had been taken from herself and
husband by the courts order. Know
ing that the Jail would be in charge of
turnkey during the sheriff's absence,
Fulweiler at once laid plans to escape,
and decided upon bold scheme, as the
sheriff afterwards learned.
Before going to Sparta the sheriff
took the prisoner out of the corridor
and locked him in his cell and gave the
turnkey orders not to let him out again,
but to feed him through the cell win
dow. His instructions were followed.
When Mr.. O'Connor returned from
Sparta he found secreted in Fulweilers
cell a hardwood table leg. The pre-
sumption is that after the woman told
him that the sheriff was going to leave
town, he broke the leg off table in the
corridor and hid it in his cell in antici-
patton of having an opportunity of us
ing it as weapon by means of which
he might gain his liberty He supposed
of course that he would, during Mr..
OConnor's absence, nave the freedom
of the corridor as usual. 1t would then
be an easy matter for him to await the
coming of the turnkey with a tray full
of victuals, strike him over the head
with the table leg-perhaps killing him
and thea make his escape.
The plan would have worked admir-
ably had it not been for Mr. D'Connor's
foresight in locking the whelp in his
cage and giving him no liberty.
When Mr. O'Connor delivered the
prisoner to the penitentiary authorities
he informed them that Fulweiler would
bear watching. He told them that the
fellow would feign insanity or boldly
attempt to escape. He has done both.
The fellow appears to have been born
of spawn of the devil

AN OLD TRICK.

M. ii. Duncan, secretary of the Mara
thon County Agricultural society, has
been notifiei by the American Trotting
association that the horse, Little Jim,
raced on our track in the 2:20 pace last
fall, is what is known in racing circles
as a ringer" Little Jim, it appears,
has record of 2:l14 and has been raced
under various names in different parts
of the country. The horse at present is
owned by Frank Ansley of Hibbing,
MINI. When the animal raced here
last feli protest was entered after the
second heat by Nose Goldberg OF
Marion. who also had horse in that
race. Little Jim was allowed TO finish
the race under protest and won second
money. After the race the owners
share of the purse was turned over to
the officers OF the American Trotting
association, together with notice of
protest and request for the horses
identity.
The animal has been raced under the
names of Guy Red, Glory, King Blair
and Little Jim. The man who owned
the horse as Guy Red, when he estab-
lished record of 2:11t, accompanied
the secretary to Hibbing and positively
Unidentified him as such horse.
1t has been many years since a
ringer" has been brought onto our
track. The last time was twelve or fif-
teen years ago when 'Reddy" Clarity,
of Oshkosh, went around the circuit
with such a horse and cleaned up
bunch of money, but got caught and
fell into disfavor with the trotting as
ISOLATION, to such an extent that he was
disbarred from driving any more horses
in races

The city of Merrill had severe fire
loss on Saturday morning last. 1t
started in the new Masonic temple and
was discovered at about four o'clock by
the jau;,or. On the lower floor was
located the post office and the Langley
& Anderson store. All of the mail and
equipment was removed from the build
ing without loss. but the merchandise
in the Langley & Anderson store was
totally destroyed. On the second floor
were located he offices of Drs- w. ID.
Monroe, W. r. Van Ostrand and g. ID.
Carey. Everything in their offices were
destroyed. Langley & Anderson had
their stock partially insured and some
of the physicians carried insurance.
The Masonic fraternity carried IS, 200
on the building, lodge room parapher-
nalia and post office fixtures. The cost,
when built three years ago. was about
81 900. The origin of the fire at this
time IS unknown As the FIRE proof
walls are standing intact it is quite
likely that the building viii be rebuilt.
