Tom Johnson of ohio won national
fame by his attempt when mayor of
Cleveland To take the city's traction
company by its heels ana shake its
pockets empty. His war in favor of
the three cent fare got him lot of
advertising and even resulted in a pres
identical boomlet for him. But since it
has been demonstrated that the Cleve-
land Street Railway Co. cannot carry
passengers for three cents and keep
out of the receivers hands, the
supreme court of Ohio has now de-
cided that Tom Johnson's three cent
fare legislation was illegal. OF course
this decision is not only sound law but
it is also fair play and the Cleveland
statesman will have to look around for
some other issue if he wants to keep
before the country.

WE COUNT OUR PAPERS TODAY.

The Pilot force this week has had
additional work thrown on it through
request from your Uncle Samuel. He
insists that all mai, be counted and
weighed in every one of his thousands
of post offices, and to'facilitate matters
and relieve the burden thrown upon
the clerks, he has asked that every
publisher count each newspaper sent
out. 1t is not compulsory order, but
it Is asked as courtesy and no doubt
there is not publisher in the land but
will gladly comply with the request
In making up the list the publisher is
asked to classify his mail as follows:
Subscribers copies, sample copies (both
being paid for at pound rates. papers
going free in county, papers paid for at
the rate of 1c and 2 cts and those mailed
to points in Canada. The six news
papers published in this city, with a
combined circulation of several thous-
and papers, can, by doing their own
counting, relieve the clerks in the post
Office of great amount of work.

REFUSES TO ACCEPT.

During the fore part of last week,
Anton Mehl, asylum trustee, received
telegram from John Fable, Of Wau-
watosa saying he could not accept the
position offered him of superintendent
of the Marathon county asylum for
Insane, to succeed the late j. B. Thomas.
The next day Mr.. Mehl received letter
of explanation from him in which he
begged to apologize for refusing the
offer after accepting it. When Mr..
Fable was in the city week ago he
stated that the only thing which would
induce him to come here would be
a raise in salary. The board voted
an increase of $3.50 per year, which was
satisfactory to him. When the Milwau-
kee trustees heard that he was about to
leave them, they called special meet
ing and voted to raise his salary, the
raise to take effect at once and i'm
portuned him to stay, which he agreed
to do.
MIR. Mehl called a meeting of the
trustees for yesterday afternoon to
make another selection.

THE QUALITY OF THE WORK

accomplished by DR.. j.. M. Turbin, the
eminent Chicago specialist who visits
our city regularly every month, re-
moves all doubt of his ability to allay
the sufferings of those in need of medi-
cal treatment.
The doctors familiar knowledge of
the science of medicine; his power to
discern the proper course of treatment
to pursue, ia order to bring about the
best results in each and every case,
and the skill with which he executes
his plans for the removal of disease,
have earned for him the reputation of
possessing the qualities which dis
tinguish him as a man of character,
and physician of ability, in whom
any one can place the utmost conf
dence.
His loyalty to the best interests and
welfare of his patients, at any and all
times, and the success which has
attended his extensive practice in this
vicinity, prove that the doctor is de-
serving of the good opinion and regard
In which our friends have held him for
the past seventeen years.
The unquestionably honest and con-
scientious treatment of which one and
all may be assured in consulting the
doctor, establish the fact that those in
need of the services of a physician
would do well to consult DIR. Turbin
when he visits Wausau.
DIR. Turbin viii be in Wausau at the
Bells Hotel, Thursday, Oct. 24th.

the commission will now be enabled to
proceed with the undertaking which, if
carried to completion, as expected, will
reclaim for agricultural purposes many
thousands of acres of otherwise useless
swamp lands in Wood, Marathon and
Portage counties. The first work to be
done now is to advertise for bids to do
the dredging, an undertaking that will
cost two years of hard labor. 1t is
hoped, if present plans carry, to have
the dredging machines at work in early
spring. The main ditch will be IA
miles long, 20 feet wide and s feet deep.
Leading into this will be many small
laterals. 1t will be one of the greatest
pieces of engineering work ever under
taken in this section, and as the work
proceeds will be watched with much
interest.-M -Marshfield News.

TRAMP IDENTIFIED.

The tramp who was shot and killed
by Richard Beyreis in the town of
Holton on the evening of Oct z, has
been identified as Geo. Shields, man
who short time previous to his death
escaped from the Taylor county Jail.
Officials in Manitowoc, where the man
is supposed to have relatives, were
notified of the death
In view of the fact that the man
entered two homes during the absence
of the families and appropriated articles
for his own use and the further fact
that he brandished a razor and threat
ened the life of Beyreis, the latter was
exonerated from all blame in the shoot
ing, by the coroner's jury.
Shields was about twenty eight years
of age and no doubt was tough char
acter. He was doing time in the
Taylor county Jail for burglary and as
he was evidently born criminal there
will be no lamentation over his sudden

1t is now pretty certain that the Wau-
sau Box and Lumber company's fac
tory will be in full operation next week
and perhaps as early as Monday. This
factory was entirely destroyed by fire
on the afternoon of June nth, 1907. 1t
took some time to adjust the loss and to
determine on the plans for new plant.
When this was finally decided upon,
the work of rebuilding was pushed for
ward with all possible dispatch, sntil
now Messrs. Turner and Scholfield
have as finely an equipped box factory
as there is in the north.
The main factory covers space of
l50xl30 feet, and is on stone founda-
ton. The basement is nine feet in the
clear and contains the shafting and
pulleys that run the machinery on the
upper floor. 1t also contains the large
blower and galvanized iron pipes which
carry the sawdust and shavings to the
fire box.
The second floor is arranged into two
rooms, one where the machines are
placed for planning lumber and is 5Ox
63 feet, the other is the box factory de-
partment. The latter room takes in all
of the balance of the space and is finely
arranged and equipped with the latest
machinery for box making. 1t is well
lighted by sky light running through
the center which is 20 feet wide and Is
feet high. At the west end of the
building above the box factory room is
the filing room and at the east end, a
room especially arranged for the fore
man.
The power house is 50x40 feet, fire.
proof, is separated from the main build
ing by twenty feet and is built of con-
crete blocks. In this building is the
large 350-horse power Corliss-Allis
engine which furnishes the power for
the plant. 1t also contains two large
boilers and fire places; an electric
lighting plant, which will furnish light
for the entire institutions; heating
plant which consists of a mass of iron
pipes, covered with heavy sheet iron
and through the pipes the exhaust steam
is run. An engine works fan which
forces fresh air through the myriad of
pipes and into the box factory, which
provides all the heat necessary even in
the very coldest weather.
The editor of the Pilot was among
those present, on Sunday afternoon,
when steam was turned into the large
Corliss-Allis engine. The engineer,
Frank Cinnamon, had been getting the
engine ready for operation. A six

ENDS TWO LIVES.

Frank Hassenfuss, a former resident
of Wausau, committed murder and
suicide on farm near Montello last
Tuesday. In the absence of her father
and mother, Hassenfuss called at the
home of Miss Susie Austin, girl seven
teen years of age, with whom he was
enamored. just what happened is not
known, as the only witness of the deed
was little four year old sister of the
girl, who is unable to give reliable
version of the affair 1t is supposed,
however, that when Miss Austin re-
PEELED his love making, Hassenfuss be-
came angered and shot the girl. The
crime was committed with a shot gun
belonging to the girls father, which
was suspended on the wall. After
shooting the young lady. the man
placed the gun to his head and blew
away his lower jaw. He then ran out
of the house to a patch of woods near
by and taking knife from his pocket,
cut his throat and lay down and died.
The little girl ran to a neighbor's house
and told what had occurred.
Hassenfuss was about forty years of
age. The family formerly lived at the
corner of Fifth and jackson Sts., this
city, where the Goldberg sales barn
now stands, and later on the west side.
The mother and two daughters at pres
ent live on Maple street. Mrs Hassen-
fuss and one of her daughters went to
Montello, Wednesday morning, to take
charge of the remains of their son and
brother. Deceased had not been resi-
dent of this city for several years.
