BACK TO OLD SYSTEM.

Beginning October lst next, the
record of births, deaths and mar
riages, which was abolished in 1907,
will again be resumed. All certifi-
Gates dated October lst, 1909, will be
copied at the bureau of vital statistics
and returned to the Office of the reg
lister of deeds in each county. After
october 1st, the registers will obtain
exact copies of the original certificates
from the local register in each town,
village and city which they will be
obliged to bind and index under the
old system. After the old system was
abolished complaints were heard all
over the state. If one wanted to look
up any records in the Marathon
county court house, for instance, he
could not find them, for they were on
file in Madison only. The records
kept under the present system are of
practically no use to the people. AS
result of protests bill was intro
duced at the last session of the legis-
lature, which passed, abolishing the
present system and restoring the old

vURPILLA1' In TROUBLE.

Most of our citizens will remember
Vurplllat, the patent medicine man
and his company who spent several
weeks in this city prior to few weeks
ago. He was known as a tape worm
artist, and before leaving the city,
collected about all the tania in Wau-
sau which he exhibited nightly. He
was driven from the market square.
after being there few evenings, and
was refused a license to sell medicines.
People fiocked to him by the hun
dreds and it is said he took a large
slice of Wausau's money supply with
him when he left the city. An effort
was made to prosecute him, but it
was found that he carried with him a
licensed physician and that the
license had been recorded with the
county clerk. From here he went to
Ashland and from a recent issue of
the Ashland News we clip the follow
ing:
Vurpillat, the medicine show man.
who has been holding forth nightly
near the Bardon hose house. was
arrested today on a warrant sworn
out by DR.. A. P. Andrus. a member of
the State Board of Medical Exam
lners. There were two charges against
Vurplllat, one charging him with
practicing as a physician without hav-
Ing license from the State Board of
II w tlaiF lox. i Il
another charge that his advertising
matter on his medicine was contrary
TO the new state law, containing
expressions and words that the new
provides can not be used in the circu-
latlon OF advertising material in ref
erence to medicines.
District Attorney Pierrele prose-
cuted the case and Vurpillat acted as
his own attorney. Regarding the last
charge, it was admitted that the
advertising in evidence was Vurpil-
lat's, and as the expressions used were
clearly violation of the new state
law, Mr.. Pierrelee asked Judge
McCloud to impose the maximum SEN
tence for the offense
Regarding the first charge, it is
alleged that Vurpillat had a consulta-
tion with Walter Green, giving him
medical advice, receiving money from
him and furnishing him medicine.
Vurpillat has regular licensed doc
tor with him and he testified that he
was the one that Green consulted
with, but the doctor became very
much mixed up in the course OF his
examination, and Walter Green after
ward went on the stand and testified
that it was not the doctor but Vur-
pillat with whom he had his consulta-
tion.
Regarding the disposition of the
case the News had the following to
say in later issue:
Vurpillat, the medicine show man,
was found guilty by Judge McCloud
yesterday on both charges preferred
against him, and he was fined $3.50
and costs which he paid. The two
charges on which he was found guilty
were the selling of medicine and the
giving of professional advice as ply
sician without a license and the cir
culating of obscene matter on his
which he distributed with
each bottle.
If the law passed at the last session
of the Legislature is enforced, Vurpil-
lat is subject to arrest in every city in
Wisconsin, unless he cuts out some of
his advertising matter or stops the
sale of a certain medicine.

of last week, six rapids pieces, belong

suit was that the booms were carried
