registered from a bench mark, or
bronze tablet, placed on the north
side of the east abutment Of the falls
bridge, its elevation above sea level is
l, 1866 feet, and the zero mark of the
gauge is 1879 feet below this. The
elevation of this bench mark was
taken from the United States geologi-
cal bench mark situated on stone
post on the south side of the court
house square, whose elevation is 1921
feet.
Several floods, doing considerable
damage, have been experienced in the
past; the highest was Sept. 10Th and
Goth, 1881, when the water was 1876
feet above the present low water
mark; another in June, 1880, which
was 1877 feet; one in 1884 was 1872 feet,
and one in October, 1900, l1.2 feet.
The stage at which water begins to
do damage along the low lands is
about 9.5 feet.

WE NEED CENSURE.

There is much talk and also news
paper comment on the conditions here
in regard to scarlet fever.
Don't we deserve some of the CEN
sure of the state board of health2
To be sure, DIR. Harper did make a
mis-statement when he said we had
twenty-five deaths here in 1908 in
stead of two, and when informed of
his mis-statement he did not come out
in the papers and correct it. But
that does not alter the fact that until
two weeks ago, when the Pilot print
ed the quarantine law, the public had
never been informed what quarantine
really meant.
Quarantine here has simply meant
to put the sign on the house. Does
the public think for a minute that
persons occupying public positions
would have gone from homes pla-
carded scarlet fever into rooms filled
with children or grown people, if the
quarantine had been explained to
them or enforced ?
We can not deny that we need CEN
sure here. Of course we don't like it.
But we are to blame. We can blame
the country people all we want to,
that does not alter the fact that we
did not have the quarantine we should
have had.
All last winter the PILOT kept call
ing attention to the conditions exist
ing here and begging for better
quarantine, but nothing was done.
To be sure, sympathy from the
health officer is even kind, but it
seems to me if / felt that l lost a

ON SCARLET FEVER CONDI-
TIONS.

DIR. Sauerhering, our city health
officer has written long letter on
scarlet fever conditions, giving a his
tory of the present epidemic. He
says the present epidemic had its
start in 1904 in outside towns in the
county; that it was in very light
form and kept growing year by year.
In 1908 it spread throughout the city,
being SO light in character that physic-
ians were not called in many cases.
Only two deaths resulted that year,
Again the disease was with US in 1909.
and while there were many cases, only
three deaths occurred. During these
years there was no care taken in out
side towns to keep the disease from
spreading, Notwithstanding the state
board of health was repeatedly called
upon. This year the disease changed
from light to malignant form;
that the source of infection has been
traced to sources outside of the city;
that since July, 1904, anti-toxin has
been supplied to our citizens; the very
best, but not the kind furnished by
the Switchboard of health. DR.. Sauer-
ing denounces the article recently
sent out from Madison and shoots the
following hot shot into the hide of
Secretary Harper, who recently came
to Wausau and talked upon the condi-
lions here:
81 personally fully agree with the
doctor that the epidemic should and
can be stamped out, but we differ APP
parently in the necessary mode of
procedure. While the doctor, accord
ing to his statements, would begin
his activities here in the city would
start at the place where his board
failed to take action when first ap-
pealed to several years ago, in the
rural districts. Contrary toany state
ment of the opposite, l maintain that
the key note to the situation lies in
our surroundings. The health Off
Ger of Marathon village has appealed
to the state board several times in
effectually drawing their attention to
conditions existing in the rural dis
tricts without receiving the aid asked
for. Well we may ask if the board
is an ornament only or whether at
some future time men of action may
have the pleasure to preside over it's
activities.
The situation here is now well in
hand and we are able to successfully
handle it if we can receive little aid
where we most need it. Instead of
coming to Wausau / respectfully adj
wise the state authorities to go where
they are wanted. Our people can en-
dure considerable, but it will take
DIR. Harper long time to regain the
respect of our citizens, for although
we live in WauSau we possess the
power of discernment."
Now that strict quarantine is being
maintained and people feel more Sc
cure. We understand that the board
of health, besides a strict quarantine,
is now having the physicians wear a
proper outside garment, when visiting
patients afflicted with contagious dis
eases; having the school houses fumi-
gated often; have closed the public
library. The board will be backed by
every citizen and it can go further.
1t can close schools Tor month"; it
can stop all gatherings; it can close
all places of amusements in its work
to stamp out the epidemic and the
people will stand behind the board.

densberg, Wis, and he had been at
tending the Wausau Business college.

DIED FROM VIOLENCE.

Mrs. Mary Nitsche, a widow resid-
ing at lbs Williams street, died Fri
day night in the home of Ferdinand
Zingler, 1l8 Williams street. The
cause of death and circumstances con-
nected Herewith caused the authori-
ties to make an Investigation. Drs.
w. G. Dickens and Emile Roy made
post norton examination and on
Sunday coroner's jury was conveyed
to the home of deceased and viewed
the body. Saturday evening Zingler
was placed under arrest and was
found to have loaded revolver in his
pocket. The coroner's jury assembled
again this morning.
Several witnesses were examined
and some damaging testimony was
given. At the conclusion verdict
was rendered to the effect that de-
ceased came to her death through vio-
lence, and recommended that Zingler
be held for trial.
Mrs. Nitsche was past the age of
sixty. From the stories told it APP
pears that she visited Zingler's house
Friday evening. She helped drink
several pailsful of beer and later was
seized with a hemorrhage of one of
the organs. Zingler telephoned for a
physician, but when he arrived the
woman was dead. Certain matters
which will be brought out at the trial
caused an investigation with results
as stated.
Zingler's name appears on the court
records several times. He was re-
peatedly arrested for abusing his
children. He was twice married and
both wives are dead.

Not long ago." he stated, zone east
ern city had to go to the state legis-
lature to get permission to string a
wire from one municipal building to
another. Another city had to go to
the legislature to get permission to
change the hour for the Inauguration
of its mayor from forenoon to even
ing. Municipal home rule, however,
is making material Roadway. In
cities of the Pacific coast states, in
Colorado, Missouri, Michigan and
Minnesota, the people of the cities
have the right, subject to certain
reasonable restrictions, to frame and
adopt their own city charters and to
change them from time to time.
Only by having home rule, by pos
sessing the power to change conditions
and to enforce its own will, can city
work out its own salvation delared

NEARLY A TRAGEDY.

Last Tuesday night, one of the
most bitter cold ones of the winter, a
man was driving to Elald Junction
from one of the small towns near
that place, when h. came across a
man lying in the road, perfectly I'M
conscious. 1t proved to be an Indian
who had loaded up on forty rod
whiskey a. Eland and had tried to
reach his home but failed. The fell
low was so rigid that he had to be
laid crosswise on the bottom of the
cutter. He was covered up and driven
into Eland in double quick time. 1t
took some time to thaw him out, but
he finally revived and was none the
worse for his experience. 1t was just
luck that he was found. Another
half hour and the red man of the
forest would have gone over the
whiskey route TO the eternal 'happy
hunting grounds"

MAN STABBED
IS NEAR DEATH
Porto Ricans Dance and Booze
and Have Bloody
Quarrel.

The fve-thirty train from Kahukn
yesterday afternoon carried to the city
Candida Rivera, perhaps fatally stabbed,
and Benhaddin MADEIRA and Selestino
Cortes, who may have to answer for his
death.
The wounded man and his assailants
were in charge of Daniel P. McGregor,
the officer at Hauula, and they were
brought, respectively, to the police sta
tion and the Queens Hospital at once.
At the hospital the doctors declared the
wounded man s life to be in danger, and
the police were notified to that effect.
Officer Minvielle, the Spanish interpre-
ter of the force, went to the hospital
Immediately, and Deputy City Attorney
Milverton and Chief McDuffie were no.
titled.
McDufie took hack to the hospital,
where he found his officer, who had
taken statement from the dying man.
Rivera asked to be permitted to iden-
tify his assailants, and McDuffe re-
turned for them.
The larger of the two (Cortes) was
recognized and identified by the wound
ed man as man who had drawn knife
on him, Milverton arrived Immediately
afterwards, and the Identification was
repeated. Rivera said that there was
another man who had stabbed him
McGregor believes he knows the man
mentioned and returned to the planta-
tion as soon as Minvielle had given him
the particulars of Rivera's statement.
Rivera was not able to make the
statement from the time he was hurt
until he had rested few hours at the
hospital. His wounds consist of several
stabs about the face, one of which sliced
off his nose, and deep wound in the
back. The latter has penetrated the
lungs and may prove fatal.
According to Rivera IS vague state
ment, Cortes slapped him in the face,
and he struck back and started to run.
Cortes followed, drawing a knife
which was described as a long, slim
blade, about twelve inches long-and
struck at him.
The fight, according to McGregor,
took place about one-thirty Sunday
morning, after dance that had pro-
ceeded the entire evening previously.
Both men were drunk, or at least
partly so, at the time Of the ARRAY.
Cortes and MADEIRA, according to Nc
Gregor, are trouble-makers at the camp
and have been in bad repute there. All
are Porto Ricans. The stabbing took
place in the camp Immediately makai of
