SUES COUNTY.

Ex-County Judge Henry Miller, has
through his attorneys Brown, Pradt
& Genrich, commenced an action in
circuit court against Marathon county
to recover fees which were disallowed
by the county board. The action is
in the nature of an appeal from the
county boards decision.
At the May session of the county.
board in 1909, Mr.. Miller presented a
bill for S732.9S. The bill was held
over until the next meeting, 'for
further investigation" In December
Mr.. Miller presented another bill, for
additional work, for 500, making the
total which he claimed as due him,
$79S.9S. The committee wanted more
time for investigation and the bills
were held up until the January meet
ing. Before the January meeting a
committee composed of Herman He'd
rich, G. n. Schultz, Fred Borchardt
and Ed. Protze audited the accounts
in Judge Miller's office. l.. I'll. Cook
was also named as one of the commit
tee, but his resignation as supervisor
cut him off the committee. A report
was brought in by this committee at
the January meeting which recon-
mended that S420.4l be disallowed,
and the report was adopted by the
board. Mr.. Miller will now try TO re-
cover that amount through the action
of the court.
1t is quite likely that the matter
will be threshed out before the June
meeting of the county board.

meeting OF the North Eastern Teach
ers' association at Oshkosh last week.
The program was exceptionally inter-
esting and helpful. The citizens of
Oshkosh were most cordial and gen
erous in their hospitality, and nothing
was left undone to minister to the
comfort and convenience of their
guests. We visited Neenah Menasha

afternoon. The pupils were especially
interested in Lawrence college.
Miss Macdonald, our assistant last
year, spent Sunday and Monday in
the city with friends, giving the fore

gregation were the caterers on this
occasion, and there was everything
delicious one could wish to regale the
inner man. When cigars were passed
the post-prandial program arranged
for the occasion was entered into.

which were very amusing and he took
great pleasure in rubbing it i'm to
those who were on the program before
him.
Among those who made remarks
were E. e. Payne, 0. G. Callies, Louis
Leak, Samuel Livingston, VIM. +.

DIED SUDDENLY.

Adelbert Taylor, residing at PIT
Clark street, died suddenly yesterday
morning at his home. Mr.. Taylor
was machinist in the employ of the
Curtis a. Yale Co. Fer some time, in
climbing stairway TO his work room,
he had been troubled with shortness
of breath. OF late he had been so
affected at times that it was necessary
for other workmen TO take him home.
Saturday he remained home all day.
Yesterday morning he climbed the
stairway as usual, was taken with
one of his spells, and was escorted
home. He sat down on q sofa and
attempted to remove his coat, but
fell to the floor and shortly thereafter
expired. He was a very fleshy man
and death was due to fatty degenera-
tion of the heart. He was born in
the town of Trimbelie, Pierce county,
Wis, forty-nine years ago. He is sur
vived by his wife and one son. The
remains were taken to Ellsworth,
Pierce county, for burial.
Deceased was member Of the Mod
ern Woodmen and was also insured in
the Northwestern Mutual Life of
Milwaukee and the Anchor Casualty
Co. of this city.

LET US STAMP 1T OUT.

1t is time something was done. We
have an epidemic and our people
should wake up to that fact. Isn't it
about time our people were made to
know what the word Quarantine"
means, and also what it means to
fumigate after a contagious disease {?
Whose business is it to see that
premises are properly fumigated,
when a policeman or some other per-
son takes the sign from the house?
Persons taking care of children with
scarlet fever are known to go from
the patient out among other people.
Surely if they understood what the
word quarantine" means this would
not occur, and if they persist in leav-
ing the house the law should take its
course.
If we have not enough help in our
health office to see that this disease is
stamped out and perfect quarantine
maintained, the city council might
better appropriate an adequate sum
for this purpose.
A child was sent home from one of
the schools this week who was "peel-
ing after scarlet fever The child
had never missed day of school, but
had had a sore throat and headache.
If we had medical inspection in our
schools this would not have hap
ened
If it is within the power of the
health officer to establish medical
inspection, would it not be good
idea to have him do this, if only for
the next six weeks?
The city spends money for improv-
ing our streets and making our city a
desirable one in which to live, but if
we establish a reputation for gross
carelessness in cases of quarantine,
even though we have good schools
good streets and good lighting sys-
tenn, people won't want to make this
their home.
Let us stop talking about the city
water for the next few weeks and talk
helping the health officer in establish
ing medical inspection of our city
schools and most rigid quarantine
and stamp out this epidemic of scar
let fever that is being spread through
ignorance and carelessness. Some
thing must be done and the sooner
the better.

HUMAN LIFE FOR FEBRUARY.

Unusual interest attaches TO the
February issue of Human Life, pub
lished in Boston, Mass, on account of
three remarkable articles dealing with
vital issues in American civic life.
The first is the story of Charles ).
Whitman, the new District Attorney
for New York, and the mastery man
ner in which, in the past, he has beaten
Tammany at it's own game; the second
relates to Edwin L. Earl, millionaire
wielder of the "big stick" and his
wonderful battle against the gang OF
boodlers that dominated the city OF
Los Angeles; and last but far least OF
the trio is the third instalment or
Alfred Henry LeWis's famous series,
Travelling with Taft" with its amaz-
ing revelations of the robber Inter
ests'' that are growing fatter and more
arrogant than ever under the paternal
wing Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
In sharpest contrast with these ar
ticles is Vance ThOmpSOn's surprising
story of Jean Jaures, the Red Orator"
of French Socialism.

LAST NUMBER.

Next Monday evening the Rogers
Grilley combination will appear at
the opera house, under the auspices
of the Y. M. G.. A. This will be the
concluding number of the winter
course of entertainments.
This combination long since gained
favorable position among standard
attractions. When the two appeared
here some years ago they created a
very favorable impression. Years of
effort has enabled them to produce
program that is not only entertaining
but provides the best in art. From
the harp classic, with which Mr..
Rogers opens the program, followed
by group of representations and
original selections by Mr.. Grilley, the
listeners are carried through a series
of artistic efforts in the realm of
pathos, humor and music, until the
closing number leaves the audience
wondering if it is really true that
such a delightful evening has been
given by a company of only two peo-
pie. Every season finds these artists
with fresh novelties and striking
selections added to their extensive
repertoire, so they are always able to
present an entirely new program at
each appearance.

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.

The WauSau Telephone Co. began
work Monday extending its toll lines
TO the camp of the JAS Wright Lum-
Der Co., in the eastern part of the
town of Hewitt. This extension will
start from the Wausau-Glandon line
at Kalinskie's landing and follow the
railroad east and north about FIVE
miles to the Jas. Wright Co.'s main
camp, which is at present without
any telephone connection with the
outside world.
In connection with this work the
line now running to Paul Seymour's
place at Nutterville will be extended
to Cbss. Seymour's place at Sunrise
and the telephone there changed from
the Wausau-Glandon line, thus giving
better service TO all concerned. 1t is
expected that this work will be fin
ished this week.
Another improvement that it is ex-
pected will be taken up in the near
future is the building of an exchange,
in or near Schofield, to accommodate
the people of the villages of Schofield
and Rothschilds. As things are at
present the expense of building a line
from the exchange in Wausau 10
Schofield or Rothschiids, makes it out
of the question for the people living
there to have telephones in their
homes, but by the building of this ex,
change, as contemplated, they can al
have telephone connection, not only
with each other but with the Wau-
sau subscribers as well, and at a rate
well within the reach of ALL
For the exchange in Wausau itself,
ORDERS have already been placed for
additions to be delivered during the
year, increasing the capacity by one
hundred switches and as many tele
phones, and from the present outlook
this will have to be added to before
the year is out.
