UNCLE SAM HERE

Ills Post office Inspectors Made Visit
First of the Week
Uncle Sans agents we're in the city
the first Of the week looking after affairs
pertaining 10 the postofflce of this city.
They inspected the posteffice and inform
ed the office force that if all the offices in
the country had their books in as good
condition as the Belding office books we're
kept, the work of inspection would be
simplified very much.
One feature of their visit, and one that
appeals at once to many of our citizens,
was the matter Of sending out third class
matter with writing in it. BY ruling of
the Postoffce department postmasters are
expected to open all packages of third
class matter and ascertain that there is no
writing in the same. Recently several
packages have been found containing
writing and the inspectors called on the
guilty parties and offered them chance to
settle the matter by the payment of 81 o.
The parties interested however pleaded
ignorance on the matter and the inspec-
tors left the matter with the United
States Attorney General, to do as he saw
fit in the matter
The whole secret Of the matter is this
il you have package to send away don't
put any writing in it or it is liable to cost
you pretty high postage, letter or postal
card will carry the sarne information and
the chances are that it will come good
deal cheaper. with the holidays approach
ing this is worth remembering as it may
save big bill Of expense in the future.

TAKING SCHOOL CENSUS.

The board of education recently
placed the responsibility of taking the
school census in the hands of w. h.
johnson, principal of the Lincoln
school. MIR. johnson has engaged as
assistants P. S. Hamrick, teacher of
manual training in the high school and
II. Z. Culver, principal of the Franklin
school. The former will take the cen
sus of the west side and the other two
gentlemen that of the east side. They
are now at work and expect to com
pleta their task by the middle of July.
While they are taking the school cen
sns they will also make an enumeration
of each person in each family, so that
when they are through the exact popu-
lation of Wausau will be known, ac-
cording to law. All questions asked by
the above named gentlemen of the par
ents or guardians must be answered
truthfully or severe penalties may be
enforced. Every person should assist
them to the best of their ability, as the
state pays the city about So for each
child, between the ages of four and
twenty years. so reported, the money
going toward the support of thapublic
schools, and thus lessening by that
amount the tax paid by local people for
such purposes. 1t is reported that some
people seem to fear that some terrible
thing will happen to them if they an
swer the innocent questions asked them,
and some refuse to do so. This is due
entirely to misunderstanding, but nev
ertheless delays the work. 1t does not
matter in the least so far as the census
is concerned, whether the child is at
tending school or not, or whether they
ever expect to. The names of every
child under twenty should be given,
whether married or single. Every per-
son should be glad to report the true
number of their children, and thus Sc
cnre from the state all that is coming
to us in school taxes. If they don't do
so their taxes may be increased.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

During the the thunder shower Satur-
day house occupied by two families,
situated near the Chicago Excelsior
Co.'S plant, was struck with lightning
Ole Biller, manager of the above named
plant, had an opportunity of witnessing
the work of destruction. At the time
of the flash he was looking in the direc-
ton of the building The bolt entered
at the top of the chimney and he says
it appeared as if bomb shell were ex-
plOded inside the chimney. Bricks
were thrown in every direction. 1t ap-
pears that the same bolt struck corner
of the house, for Immediately after a
tiny circle of smoke arose from the
roof, then a large puff of smoke and the
blaze broke through. The excelsior
factory was closed down and the en-
ployes sent to the house to render what
aid was possible. The fire department
found considerable difficulty in stamp
ing out the fire as it started inside the
wall and was hard to get at. The
upper floor, where the most damage re-
suited, was occupied by Henry.
Schneider and family Mr. Schneider
was in Amigo at the time and his wife
and children were up town. 1t was
lucky that they were not at home or
else we might be called upon to chron-
icle fatality.

TWO DOPES.

A lady who has the experience says
that if women will occasionally wipe
their door and window screens with
cloth that has been saturated with kero-
sene, they will not be troubled so much
with flies.
Ii you are going to go fishing you
need mosquito dope, for mosquitoes
are very plentiful just at present If
you don't believe it just get outside
Wausau any evening, near grove, and
you will get plenty proof of the truth
fulness of this statement. Many prepar
ations are sold for mosquito dope, all
of which have more or less merit, the
objection to most of them is that they
are not durable, they evaporate rapidly
and have to be applied every few min
utes. A gentleman informs us that he
has tried number of them, but has
not found anything that comes up to
the following: To three ounces of pine
tar add two ounces of castor oil and
one of pennyroyal. This mixture has a
good body, an odor that will put tar
yard in the background, and will last
about day when you give your face
and hands good polish with it and
you will soon enjoy the odor of the
compound Fix up bottle and try it,.

English tongue to make herself pro-
ficieni in its use She is now being sent
back TO China by her father The
father intends to remain here some time

A GOOD RESULT.

Under the operation of the new Pure
Food Laws, baking powders now gener
ally bear on the labels a statement OF
the ingredients. This is OF utmost i'm
portance because of the harmful in
gradients used in many cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known to be
the only baking powder made of Royal
Grape Cream of Tartar, and this no
doubt explains its greatly increased
sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking ad
vantage of the protection which the
Laws afford, and are examining all the
reading matter on the back of the label
before adopting any brand for use in
the home.
When in place of the words Cream of
Tartar the words ''alum' aluminium"
or phosphate of lime" appear among
the ingredients, they heed the warning
and avoid baking powders containing
these substitutes.

WILL BUILD RAILROAD.

The Wright Lumber Co., of Merrill,
is carrying on extensive operations
this summer in the towns Of Hewitt and
Easton. During the winter that COM
pany purchased about 5000 acres of
timber lands in these towns, the timber
from which viii be logged and loaded
on cars and hauled to Merrill and sawed.
The timber is largely hemlock of a good
quality and at present much of it is
being cut and peeled. This work has
been let to Geo. Pilnegre of Merrill, and
Earl Barden of the town of Easton, who
have let sub-contracts to about twenty
jobbers. AT present about 200 cords of
bark is being peeled daily and the
quantity would be much larger if suf-
ficient help could be secured, but the
jobbers have found it absolutely inn
possible to secure labor, although allur-
ing wages ise0ffered. They are paying
SO per day or S45 and dinners furnished
free. There will be work of this kind
for at least two years in the vicinity
,alentioned. Surveyors are at work sur
veying lines around the company shold-
ings, so there will be no trespassing on
other lands and they are also surveying
a line of railroad. The railroad will be
constructed in the fall and will connect
with the Gleason branch of the G. NJ &
st. P. Ry. near Algonac. 1t will lextend
southeastward. down into the town of
Easton to section 20, crossing the Eau
Claire river at point southeast of
johnson P. o. Logs will be hauled
from both sides of the track and loaded
on cars. The logs secured from this
source, together with what may later
be purchased of farmers, will keep the
Wright Lbr. Co.'S mill in operation for
several years to come

MANY PERMITS GRANTED.

Ever since the public and parochial
schools of the city closed for the yaca-
ton period, County Judge Henry Mil
Ter has been called upon to issne many
permits to children to work in stores,
shops and elsewhere during vacation.
Many parents favor the plan of having
their children work during the summer
months, for they are thus kept off the
streets and learn what it is to earn dol
lar. On the other hand there are many
poor families who need what their
children can earn during vacation.
The permits are issued to children be-
tween the ages of twelve and sixteen
years and they give possessor permis-
sion to engage in certain lines of work
