WILL OPEN BIDS.

The board of public works will open
bids for the re-paying of Third
street, within the next ten days.
1t is thought at this time that there
will be no question about contract
being let and work started on the job
at very early date. 1t is quite likely
that the work will be all completed
by the time the L. c. Z. convention
is held here the first week in June.
While the street is torn up the Nau-
sau Gas Co. will put service pipes in
to every lot facing Third street, where
there are none now, SO that IL won [
be necessary in the future 10 tear up
the street again. The city should,
and undoubtedly viii, lay water ser
vice pipes at the same time, and this
plan should be observed in the future
with reference to matchmaking as
well. You can go anywhere in the
city and find humps where service
pipes have been laid, and the earth
not rolled down afterward.
1t is possible that the council will
soon take some action in regard TO
repaying Scott and Washington streets.
1t is possible that all of the work can
be carried on at the same time The
work can be carried on very quickly
for the reason that very little II any,
digging viii be necessary, that work
being done when the streets were first
paved.

DEATH OF MRS. MARY NC
INNS.

The PILoT is called upon this week
to chronicle the death of one of our
most beloved and highly esteemed
citizens, Mrs. Mary McInnis, who
passed away at her home on Friday
afternoon last, March Is, 1910, at 3
O'clock
She had been having spells of sickness
for several months and they were in
the nature of heart trouble. For a
time she had seemed TO be improving,
and her relatives and many close
friends were encouraged and hopeful
that she might regain her wonted
health, but an attack more serious
than former ones again confined her
to her home from which she never re-
covered.
Mrs. McInnis had been a resident
of Wausau for thirty-tive years, and
her kindly and ever cheerful DISPOSE
ton made for her warm friends and
she was widely known in our city.
She was member and valued worker
in the Presbyterian church and she
vas also member of the Ladies' Aid
and Missionary societies of that
church.
Mrs. McInniS was born iii Scotland
on the 2lSt day or June, 1913. She
remained there until 1870 when she
came TO America and went to st.
Louis to reside. She was united in
marriage to Daniel McInnis in 1875
and the same year they came to Wau-
Sau to reside. Those who survive her
are her three children, Mrs. w. G.
Landon, Mrs. John Landon and Mrs.
Ray Charter.
The funeral services were held from
the home at 1905 Sixth street, Mon
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock and were
conducted by Rev. j. M. Duer, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, and
a large assemblage of sympathizing
friends and neighbors met to pay the
last tribute of respect to her MEM
DRY. Many expressed their affection
in beautiful floral offerings. The re-
mains were laid to rest in Pine Grove
cemetery.
Those of the friends and neighbors
who acted as pail bearers were: f. p.
Stone, James Montgomery, A. II.
Clarke, B. A. Benson, f. L. Hudson
and Neil Campbell.

ELECTRICAL POWER.

Representative of electrical supply
houses have been in the city the past
several days on business connected
with starting electrical machinery in
the plant of the d. j. Murray Manufac-
turing Co. The generators, motors,
ETC., have been connected up, and every
thing is in readiness to change from
steam to electric power, although a
steam engine is retained to drive
the generators. All of the heavy
machinery, blowers, ETC., will be motor
driven. The company has also in
stalled huge crane. This, too, win
be operated by electricity. 1t is the
intention TO use electricity as power
as fast as new buildings, now planned,
are completed and equipped This is
done largely TO save shafting, but the
power itself is more satisfactory. At
present two large generators and
about a dozen motors have been in
stalled. When the company has COM
pleted all its plans it will have one of
the most up-to-date machine shops in
the country.

IMPROVED CONDITIONS.

Mayor Lamont, in proclamation,
raised the quarantine Saturday ana
everything is moving along in the
even tenor of its way at present. Few
cases of scarlet fever were reported
since our last issue, and the crisis ap-
pears to be past. All of the cases re-
ported lately are very light. As a
rule the patients are quite sick for
about two days and then they gradu-
ally recover. Reports from the schools
show better attendance than before
the quarantine went into effect, show
ing that people have confidence that
the worst phase of the situation is
past. Before the quarantine went In
TO effect twenty-six per cent OF the
children were absent from school,
mostly through fear of the parents
that the children would contract The
disease. The Withdrawals from schools
was most noticeable at the time sew
eral deaths from the disease occurred.
Spring coming on, the disease will
gradually disappear but there is
danger OF its recurrence next winter,
unless all houses, where the disease
had made its appearance, are thor
oughly fumigated. The disease APP
peaTed here four years ago, and since
then, with the return of cold weather
it has come back with increased force
and yigor, but not until last winter
did any deaths occur. The disease
was in its most malignant form this
winter and no one can tell what next
winter will bring forth. The disease
may die out or may reappear worse
than ever. TIL. germs are like the
taste CT our city water at times-they
linger.
At the present time there appears
90 be decline in other contagious
diseases diphtheria, typhoid fever,
whooping cough, etc.
Since our last issue seven new cases
of scarlet fever have been reported as
follows:
Warner and Mildred Bump, son and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. f. E. Bump.
John Lamont, Jr., son of Mayor
and Mrs. John f. Lamont.
Irene Smith, daughter of Il. Nj.
Smith.
Conrad.Althen.
Theodore, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore Kohl.
Fred Eggers, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Eggers, Harrison boulevard.
One case of diphtheria was reported
this morning in the Crystal block.
The latter disease has apparently run
its course in this city.
The homes under quarantine at
present are much less in number than
at the time of our last report and the
quarantine was raised or quite num-
Der today.
The Smith child was removed to
the isolation hospital.
All OF those now sick with scarlet
fever are getting along nicely. Some
were sick only day or so and some
did not go to bed at all, but neverthe-
less they ere forced to remain indoors.
This, as a grown person can realize,
is tough on the "kids'' at this time
of the year, when they can see all the
other children playing and cannot

EASTER.

Next Sunday, March 9th, is Easter.
The Resurrection is the corner stone
# the Christian faith, therefore, it is
It natural THAT the pioneers of Chris
9ity should have deemed it appro-
pirate to single out one day of the
year TO be observed in celebration of
the glorious event. In Wausau, great
preparations are in progress to prop
erly observe the day. Churches will
have beautiful decorations of flowers;
there will be special music and elo-
quent Easter sermons, and con-
certs by the children of the various
Sunday schools. OF course there will
be Easter bonnets and gowns galore,
and the children will pass around
their colored Easter eggs.
st. Omer Commandery No. 10, K.
T. will perhaps hold its Easter SER
vices in Masonic Temple, and not in
one of our churches as has been the
usual custom. The commandery will
determine tomorrow evening.

LET US HAVE A GREAT CLEAN
ING UP.

There should be, this spring, the
greatest cleaning up in Wausau ever
known in its history. The city hauled
away the debris one spring, and all
that the authorities asked was that
every lot owner have the dirt piles
placed in alley ways or on the street,
easy of access. Some of our best-to-
do citizens took occasion to have
woodsheds, barns, sheds, ETC., emptied
of years of accumulation, and the re-
suit was the city was swamped with
work. This entailed a large expense.
Can't some other way be devised so
as to have thorough cleaning of
every part of the city.
The health of our people demand
it. Can't we manage to enlist many
teams in the work of hauling at
reasonable price, for week in April
or May? 1t is almost impossible TO
hire team or men TO work in the
spring but perhaps farmers may be
induced to let out their teams for a
few days. Let movement be started
for cleaning up day.

CAN MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.

There will be a meeting within a
very short time between members of
the county board pubic property com
mittee and representative of the
Henry Lake a. Sons Co., Of Black
River Falls. The latter's proposition
TO set out shrubbery and improve the
court house grounds was accepted by
the board at the last meeting. The
committee will now meet with rep
resentative Of the company and sug-
gest ideas for the drawing Of plans.
The company agrees to replace free of
cost any trees which die within the
first two years. But the county must
make some provision for taking care
of the shrubbery after 1t is set out, or
the original investment will be money
thrown away. While the improve
ments are being made 1t would be well
for the committee to see that the
ground bordering the street sidewalk
Is either lowered, or some provision
made for carrying off the water in
stead Of having lakes on the walk.
There are times, when the snow is go
ing of in the spring, when water
stands on the walks In some places at
depth Of three or four inches. The
same cannot be said Of any other walk
in the business centre Of town.
There are also several depresSions
on the lawn, which need filling, and If
some Of the humps we're taken out Of
the walks leading from the street TO
either the east or west entrances it
would improve matters.
