We are informed that on Sunday
evening several score of boys living
behind the sewer" paraded the streets
in the northern section Of town, com
ing down into the residence district
west of the high school. They yelled,
sang and were so boisterous that they
could be heard for blocks. WheIt they
met pedestrians it was necessary for
the latter to take the middle OF the
street to pass them and their conduct
was such that good measure of force
full punishment might have done them
some good. There is a tough gang in
this city which will get into trouble
sooner or later.
Merchants state that since snow has
fallen, enabling farmers to draw loads
to town on runners, they have noticed
quite change in business. Quite a
little wood and hay is being brought in
at present There is quite demand
for both, but prices have not advanced
any. 1t is believed that the day for any
great nuctuauon IN wood prices has
passed. There are SO many coal stoves
in town that when a cold snap comes
there is not the demand for wood that
there used to be.
Mabel Oleson secured divorce yes
terday from her husband Ole h., who
is at present residing at Strong's Prairie,
Adams county. They were married
July Is, 1904, and two years later he
began a course of i'll treatment against
the complainant, their last trouble
being on the 10th of last month, when
he blackened her eye. One of his favor

plaint, was to dash cold water on her,
whenever his fancy directed. They
have no children.

The Pilot believes that the candidacy
of John Barnes would meet with general
support in all parts OF the state His
ability to serve the state as member
of the supreme court is well known, not
only to the people of the bar, but to the
people of the state generally. John
Barnes enjoys deserved reputation as
an exceptionally able, learned lawyer.
He is man of the highest character, of
attractive personal attributes, as true
gentleman as he is scholar. Should be
become a candidate the voters of Wis
consin would have chance to prove
their appreciation of a strong Judiciary
by electing John Barnes to place on
the Supreme Bench. Mir, Barnes is

HAN DSOME ORGAN DONATED.

The James Music company, of this
city, and the Kimball company, of
Chicago, have donated to the Young
Mems Christian Association, one of the
largest reed organs made by the COM
pany. Mr.. James has been organist
for the Y. M. G. A. ever since it opened
rooms in Wausau but the old organ was
not large enough for the room in which
it is now being used, so something had
to be done and MIR. James was equal to
the occasion. He took the matter up
with the Kimball Co. and the result is
as stated. The organ is twice the size
of the old one, and has five sets of

Later they went to Converts under

completed the identification. They
stated that young Cause was q years

The Management of the
Diseases of
Children's Teeth
By DR.. H. r. PATRICK

The pathology and therapeutics of
the diseases common to childrens
teeth can most easily be presented
under three heads.
1. Those diseases incident to the
process of teething.
2. Those diseases of the delicious
and soft tissue before the permanent
set are erupted.
3. The care of permanent teeth
during childhood.
Dentition may be defined as the
process of teething: it is the
physiological process of supplying the
infant with teeth. The process may
be said to begin when the crown of
the tooth has formed and begins to
pass through the bony covering in
which it is held.
What 1 want you to be most in
terested in is the diseases associated
with the process of dentition.
While the process of tooth erupting
is physiological it is nearly always
associated with disturbances which
are pathological. the process by
which the tissue over the erupting
tooth are forced out of the way is
one of resorption under pressure.
The teeth cusps act as the irritant,
produces stimuls to the resorption
process and consequently the tissue
source of considerable pain.
A glance at the tissue will reveal
the hypermic condition present
Which as the tooth presses through
the gum tissue often becomes in
fiammatory. The pressure on the
filaments must be source of con-
siderable pain. The parts become
hot. which shown by the infants de-
sire to bite on something cold 1t is
doubtless true that the desire to bite
things is an effort of the child to re-
Vive pressure irritation, and vet it
seems to be a provision of nature by
which the gums are forced out of the
way of the erupting teeth. and hence
the value of the ivory or the silver
ring. which can be kept clean, and
affords means by which the infant
may aid nature. So long as the pro-
cess does not exceed the bounds of a
reasonable physiological process very
little disturbance results, but when
from the density of the tissue or other
complicating circumstances such as
faulty nutrition the normal process is
interferred with. then we often have
train of consequences which may
even seriously endanger the life of
tho infant.

However. it took the jury nearly an

account of conflicting evidence.
John Caldwell, motorman, and c. C.
Millard, conductor of the car which

In a very short distance. but not quick
enough TO prevent the car from strik-

stood near the scene of the accident,
said he heard a heavy jar from the car
which he thought was caused by rum
ming over MARBLE but found later was
the sound caused by the reversal of the
current in an attempt to stop the car.
The damaging witnesses were Fred
Morns, grocer, who was but a short
distance away, in his store. He said
that when he went out, he asked the
motorman, why didn't you sound
your gong?" and that the motorman
replied, Il couldn't-it was stuck"
Nate Marble, a cousin of the dead man.
and Charles Straus. another witness,
the question and reply. The motorman
stoutly denied making any such as
sertion. and added that the gong was
in excellent condition. It was ex-
planned later by street car experts thai
to use every effort in stopping the car,
it was necessary for the motorman to
take his foot from the gong to manipu-
late the brake mechanism. The motor
man and several other witnesses testi-
fed that he had shouted look out" at
MARBLE.
The difference in testimony was be-
ing discussed outside the undertaking
establishment while the jury was out,
and a car passed, sounding it's gong.
Superintendent Hixon, who was talk
ing to Coroner Keith, said:
Walk over to that bunch, and ask
them If that car sounded a bell" DR..
Keith approached the party, and asked
the question. NO, it did not" said one
with him. I'VE were talking about
that feature of the case when this car
passed"
THAT is the trouble with evidence
about sounding of a car gong" said
Hixon. Three of us, who were watch
ing and expecting it. heard that car
sound six strokes of the bell, not 20
feet from the front of this building
Those men. who were discussing the
same thing, but not listening for bel,
would have sworn on the stand that no
bell sounded. Street car bells are too
common to attract notice. Should the
fire department make run, under full
noise, down this street every seven
minutes. it would cease to attract at
tention in less than a month"
