FOR SAFETY ON RAILROADS
Commerce Commission Orders Unl. form Equipment at Enormous
 Cost to the Lines.

Uniform standards for the equip ment of railroad cars and locomotives with safety appliances were pre- scribed by an order issued by the interstate commerce commission. The order is the result of iong continued agitation for uniformity. All the ap- pliances covered by the commissions order are now used, except that two additional ladders are required on certain classes of cars and two addi- tional sill steps are required on all.
 Although the railroads contended that the changes would immediately cost approximately $50,000,0O0, the commission is of opinion that "com- pliance with the order will not cause any undue expense to the railroads, as the order applies entirely to new equipment and is immediately effec- tive only with respect to new cars" Sufficient time will be granted to the railroads properly to equip their old cars with the new standards
 Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the commission, who has devoted nearly a third of a century to the work of obtaining these standards and to securing the enactment by congress of safety appliance and en- ployers' liability legislation, collapsed from an attack of heart disease on the day the agreement as to the standards was reached. His condition is regarded as serious, and he may never be able to resume active work.

But if the mer- chants go after business in the surrounding country, ad- vertislng in every possible way, and making good every word of their advertising, trace will come from an ever increasing radius, the town will gain reputation for be- ing awake and 1t will forge to the front.

RESISTED ARREST.

A fellow who travels under two
handles, John Rice and John Tibbits,
blew into town Wednesday and while
being arrested Thursday night re-
sorted to the use of a gun. While
Police Captain John Fehl was walk
ing down Third street at late hour
that night he found the man sleeping
in chair in front of the Bells House,
and placed him under arrest The
fellow went along with the officer, as
meek as an old horse, until he reached
Jefferson street, when he tried to
break away. He drew a revolver
from his pocket and fired two shots
at the policeman, one of the bullets
grazing the latter's leg and passing
up and through his coat. Mr.. Fehl
wrested the weapon from him and
then continued the journey to the
city's patented jug.
Next morning he was brought into
municipal court where the police
captain recited his story, at the con-
clusion of which the man was bound
over for examination today, being
held under Sc, 900 bonds.
The man claims to be a former
resident of Wausau, and pparently
knows great many of the old resi-
dents of the city. He appears to be
familiar with scenes in the city as
they were twenty or more years ago.

MAY REMEDY MATTERS.

A law was passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature making it
obligatory for the city council of each
city of 5000 or more population to
select a sealer of weights and meas
ures. 1t is therefore up to the coun-
Gil of this city to appoint such officer,
though the law does not state when
such selection should be made. The
salary is to be fixed by the council
and the sealer is to be provided with
office quarters and with devices for
testing weights and measures. His
duties are to at least once a year test
all the weights and measures used in
the city, and he can, without war
rant, stop any peddler, coal wagon,
milkman, ETC., and test his weights
or measures. The law provides a
standard which shall govern the seal
er In his tests, the standard being
that adopted by the United States
government.
If such officer is appointed for this
city anyone buying a load of wood or
hay on the market square can call on
him for a correct measurement or
WEIGHT, and pay for just what they
get. City people, in buying wood,
often buy lot of blank space with
the load. Last winter the chief of
police of Merrill bought a load of
wood for a cord, paid for it, piled'it
up and measured it and found that
he had purchased lot of ozone. He
turned around and arrested the seller
on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. 1t cost the

GREAT ROAD EXHIBIT
AT STATE FAIR.

The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion has arranged for this years state
fair, one of the most complete and in
tereSting road exhibits ever assembled
at state fair.
In one large tent there will be mov-
ing pictures showing road construc-
tion in this and other countries, and
also ordinary Stereopticon pictures
showing modern road and bridge con-
struction. These pictures will be &C
companied by lectures given by ex-
perts from the U. S. Office of Public
Roads, State Highway Commission
and manufacturing concerns.
In another tent will be installed
the U. S. model road exhibit, which
was first shown at the Alaska Y ukon
Exposition and is the most complete
thing Of its kind in America. There
will also be shown plans and photo
graphs Of all types of roads and bridg-
es. The state road and bridge engin-
GERS will be in attendance to answer
questions and to give consultation on
any problem in road or bridge con-
struction.
Back of these tents will be placed a
complete exhibit of modern road
machinery made by various manu-
facturers, which will cover nearly
two acres of space. Each com pany
will exhibit its latest appliances and
have its best demonstrators on the
ground.
These exhibits should be of interest
to town, village and city officials and
all others who use the public roads,
and it is hoped that many will take
the opportunity of acquainting them
selves with the latest developments
in the science of road building.
The exhibit will be just east of the
new Machinery Building near the
west gate, and is, of course, entirely
free. The fair will be held from Sep
tember 18th to 10th inclusive.

MUST make APPLICATION.
Attorney General Holds That Appli-
cants For Hunting Licenses Must
Make Regular Application.-CountY
Clerks to Charge Extra Fee.

Attorney General Bancroft, in an
opionion given out last Friday, holds
that county clerks may charge fee
for making out papers and admins
tering oaths to applicants for hunt
ing licenses. The opinion holds that
the preparing of the papers for the
applicant is no part of the duties Of
the county clerk; that the application
should come to him fully made out,
the affidayits duly certified, ETC., and
that his only duty is to furnish the
license, charging therefor the legal
fee of S10O.
The case came from KenoSha county
where a game warden complained that
the county clerk was charging $1.50
for hunting licenses. Upon that point
IL was held that the charge was IL
legal. Then the situation as it really
appeared and the opinion of
yesterday resulted. Under this opin-
ion the county clerk may charge a
fee for clerical and notarial
fee work.
The application may be made be-
fore the county clerk, a Justice of the
Peace or Notary Public.

FORESTER HERE.

The city was visited last Tharsday
by H. S. Graves of the federal bureau

visited and went through the paper
mill down at Rothschild and from

PRICE RAISED.

Those who purchase hunting Ii
censes this year will pay soc more
than heretofore. The price hereto
fore has been 81. In a case brought
to the attention of the attorney gen.
eral from hunter living in Columbia
county the attorney general has ruled
that county clerk may charge $1.50
for such license. Of this amount the
state receives 90c and the county 10c
and the county clerk SOC. The SOC is
for clerical fees. The revision of the
game laws which allows this charge
is bound to raise howl among hunt
ers, and may result in the law being
amended at the next session of the
legislature. Last year about $500
licenses were issued in this county,
and it is reasonable to presume that
many n nters, will want licenses.
again this year. The extra SOC this
year goes to the one filling out the
application. 1t may be j. P. or a
notary public in any of the towns,
or the county clerk.

STATE AND NATION CLASH.

Heretofore it has been customary
for game wardens to arrest Indians
as we'll as whites, for violations of
the game laws. But a case has arisen
in Ashland county which may change
matters, as they relate to the Indian.
Two Indians were arrested for such
violations and Indian Agent Camp
bell furnished bail for both. He also
wired the federal district attorney in
Madison and the Indian commission
er In Washington for legal assistance
and the federal government will de-
fend the two Indians. The conten-
tion is that an Indian has right to
fish or hunt on his own lands, ire
gardless of the states game laws. In
conversation with John Foster, de-
putty game warden, of this city, some
time ago, he informed us that the
chief difficulty with the Indians has
been that half breeds have hunted
and fished out of season and sold
their fish or game to whites. The
federal government is supreme, and
