TREAT FOND DU LAC.

A very destructive fire visited Fond
du Lac last Saturday, at which time
some S250,000 worth of property was
destroyed. The fire started in what
was known as the Old Crescent Theater.
1t was being used as garage. In this
building there were half dozen large
automobiles, one belonging to Lieut..
Governor, w. d. Conner, which had
been left a short time previous. The
fire started near the Conner car and in
moment its gasoline tank exploded,
this filled the building with fire and
the tanks of the other cars were ex-
ploded and before one could hardly
tell of ii many buildings close to the
old theatre were on fire and the follow
ing properties were destroyed:
Crescent Automobile Co., $780, 900.
First Congregational church, $4,000.
ST. Joseph's Catholic church, $4,000.
St. Peters Lutheran church, $4,000.
T. F. Mayham's residence, $1,000.
Grant School, $4,000.
The First Presbyterian church and
the residents of Rev. F. j Taugher, DR..
L. Bishop, Fred Sexmith were badly
scorched. Oshkosh rushed to the as
sistance of her sister city on the lake
and aided materially in getting the fire
under control.

BEAUTIFUL M0NU MENT.

A very handsome monument has just
been placed on the Parcher lot in Pine
Grove cemetery in memory of the late
Robert Z. Parcher. 1t is three piece
monument made of Parcher granite
and was gotten out by the Marathon
Granite company. The die is 4-0x2-0x-
40, all polished with plain apex top.
The base is 5-0x30x1-2, all polished with
the name "Parcher' on two sides. The
bottom base 66x4-6x1-6, polished
showing the rough edges on sides.
The low grass markers are 2-4x1-0x1- a
all polished with apex top to match die.
The lettering on the markers, consist
ing of ''V'' sunk letters, which were
used for lettering stone about two hun
dred years ago and have proven the
most satisfactory for keeping records
on monumental work.
A ledge of what is known as the
Parcher granite was found in this
county several years ago by the late K.
E. Parcher; it is of greenish color and
very beautiful

SHOT ACCIDENTALLY.

A daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Lambrecht of the town of Maine, aged
about eight years was seriously in
jured yesterday by gun shot wounds.
The little girl was returning home from
school in the afternoon and was taking
short cut across field bordering a
woodland when the accident occurred.
A hunter nearby fired shot and the
charge of shot grazed the right side of
her head and ear. Her right ear was
literally filled with shot holes. DR.. G.
A. Thielke of Wausau, who attended
her, succeeded in removing all the
shot from her head and found that
nearly every one was fattened in CON-
ing in contact with the skull. After be-
ing shot the little girl went to the near
est house and the owners summoned
her parents, who brought her to DR..
Thielke's office. The little girl is a
niece of MIR. and Mrs. A. A. Mcdonnell
of this city. She is resting easily at
present and will soon recover unless
septic poisoning sets in. The identity
of the hunter is not known, but he is
supposed to be a well known farmer
in that nei9 hborhood.

A PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

The PILOT has previously stated that
an ordinance will be presented to the
council for consideration which will
provide changes in the regulation of
the city's water system. This ordi-
nance will perhaps be introduced at the
next meeting of the council. By a
perusal of it we find the following
principal provisions boiled down so it
will fit in a nut shell: The system shall
be operated under the direction of the
water commission to consist of mayor,
three citizens and one alderman.
The commission shall appoint all en-
plOyes and make such regulations as it
sees fit.
The superintendent shall hold office
for such time as the commission sees
fit. He shall have general supervision
under the directionsof the commission
The commission shall enforce rules
relative to use Of water and make an
nual report of true condition of system
in spring of each year.
Meter rates shall be established as
follows:
First 800 cubic feet minimum, SO so.
Next 5000 g TIC per 100 cubic
feet.
Next 10 900 " /" 13c p" " #.
Next at &C per 100 cubic fit.
Water rents, except in special cases,
are due and payable in advance on the
first days of January and July of each
year. If rents are not paid within one
month, water will be turned Off In
fixing rates on the number rooms basis,
all rooms except baths, halls and closets
are to be considered Rooms excepted,
where used exclusively by one family
are considered private.
Here comes the most important part:
GAIL services which may hereafter be
connected, and all services which
have been heretofore connected with
the city waterworks system, shall be
connected with a water meter, pur-
chased by the city at the property own
er's expense" The work of connecting
the meters must be paid for by the
property owner. Water rents where
meter rates have been placed, shall be
collected ,semi-annualy for the past six
months on January 1st and July LIST
each year. If rentals are not paid in
ten days penalty of ten per cent. will
be charged, also per cent. treasurer S
fees. Said dues shall be lien on the
real estate until paid and shall be placed
in the tax roll as delinquent tax
against the property.
Any persons violating any of the
rules and regulations, upon conviction
thereof, shall be subject to fine not to
exceed S25 and costs of prosecution.
Water rents tonce paid are not to be
refunded. except where consumer
moves away and water is turned off
by the city. In that event rebate for
unexpired time will be given.
"Warer privileges may be transferred
from one person to another. Street or
yard fixtures must not be converted
into jets or fountains, nor shall hose,
during sprinkling, be secured to any
frame. post or other mechanical device
whatever but shall be held in the hand.
Revolving lawn sprinklers and other
like mechanical devices shall be used
only before o'clock a. IN and from 5
o'clock p. M"
From May to Nov. 1 will constitute
the sprinkling year. The balance OF
the ordinance applies mainly to the
work of plumbers, the care of appli-
ances, etc.
