JUDGE REID IN THE CITY.

Judge Reid came up from Wausau
this morning to dispose of the case
of Alfonzo Bonnell, the check raiser,
the judge having been up at Hazel
hurst, enjoying brief respite when
the sheriff visited Wausau Saturday
with his prisoner, for the purpose of
pleading guilty and receiving SEN
| tence.
Chatting with the judge briefly,
the conversation drifted to the Dietz
case, to which the judge was called.
He said the Dietz family from John
down seemed impressed with the
idea that they were martyrs to the
cause of disloyalty which they es-
poused, and even when sentence
was pronounced each member of the
family received the result in a stoi-
cal, don't care manner.
John Dietz seemed imbued with
the idea that the lumber corpora
tions had singled him out for espec-
ial persecution, and when given a
chance to say why sentence should
not be passed, repeated the same ac-
cusations he had made many times
before.
Concerning Dietz' refusal to en-
gage an attorney, the judge thought
the love for money was an impelling
factor in the decision, as well as the
confidence that the trial would re-
suit in acQuittal.
One important thing not generally
understood we believe concerning all
the futile attempts of officers, as
well as in the one successful attempt
to serve papers on Dietz, the officers
were not only prohibited from using
firearms, but were ordered to go un-
armed, and it was with the knowl-
edge that they were unarmed that
Dietz assaulted the officer with the
butt of his revolver, kicked him out
of doors, and then chased him off the
premises with rifle.
Judge Reid says he understands
that Dietz is very well behaved
prisoner.-Merrill Advocate.

stones, which it is said were as large
as croquet balls. The Wausau Can
ming Co. had about ninety acres of
peas destroyed. There is hardly a
farmer in either of those towns but
what suffered to more or less extent.
The city's police force has of late
been enforcing part Of an ordinance
passed some time ago, governing the
movement of vehicles through the
city. One section of the ordinance
makes it compulsory for teamsters or
auto drivers, when they stop near a
sidewalk to have the right hubs Of
their vehicles next to the curbStOne.
AS few are aware of the passage Of
the ordinance, there are many in
fractions, and it keeps the officers
busy. Some drivers get wrathy when
told to turn around, and others think
the officers belong in an institution
which the state maintains down in
Winnebago county. Like educating
ones self to like the taste Of olives,
all will get used to the new order in
time.

MILL DESTROYED.

The sawmill of the B. Heinemann
Lumber Co. of this city was destroyed
by fire on Wednesday night last. The
lire started back of the mill from
some cause which has not been ascer-
tanned and quickly spread to every
portion of the plant. AS the village
of Heinemann, which is located near
Amigo, and wherein the mill is situ-
ated, has very little fire protection,
there was practically no hope at any
time of saving the structure. The
mill was large one and had been
running every season since it was
built eleven years ago. The company
still has large body of timber tribu-
tary to the village, but it has not
been decided as yet whether or not
the institution will be rebuilt. The
company still has large body of tim
Der tributary to the village, but it
has not been decided as yet whether
or not the institution will be rebuilt.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The mill had lately been overhauled
and new machinery standing in cars
awaiting to be unlOaded was also des-
troyed. About $4,000 feet of lumber
in process of manufacture was con-
sumed but the lumber in the yards
and the planning mill which stood
near, were untouched.
The Amigo fire department lent
assistance, and the G. & n. w. Ry.
Co., sent its fire fighting apparatus to
the little village. So quickly did the
fire spread chat the workmen had
barely time to escape, and within half
an hour all that remained of the plant
was a mass of Goals

TONIGHT.
a Free Lecture on the Market Square
You Should Attend.

Tonight at the market square the
moving picture health exhibit of the

tlon will be shown, under the per-
sonal supervision of DIR. Harvey Dee
Brown, general lecturer for the asso-

liver an interesting lecture on the
subject of how and the means by
which the white plague is being
fought. The pictures and lectures
have been given in number of cities
OF the state, having a run of six
weeks in the city of Milwaukee alone1
and everywhere they have aroused
great interest. The management de-
sireS as large crowd as possible, and
there will be no charge whatever.

night consist Of:
~ "The Red Cross Seal" showing
typical breeding places of the white
plague, the work of a visiting nurse,
the cleaning up of dangerous environ
ments and the cure of patients in the
open air. Along with this is very
attractive story of sacrifice which ap-
peals to all hearts.

story of the milk supply of a great
city. This is very interesting drama
of real life.
(3) Either "The Wedding Bell"
illustrating the transmission of ty-
phoid fever by means of artificial
flowers made in a sweat shop, or
"The Fly Pest" showing the dangers
from the house fly.
In addition to the films stereopti-
con slides will be used. This is the
first time that moving pictures have
been utilized for popular educational
work of this kind and so far the ex-
pertinent has been very successful.
The exhibit is to be taken into tWen-
ty-fve of the largest cities of the
state.

LIQUORS ON TRAINS.
Has Use of Intoxicants OF Railways
Been Prohibited ?

Section two of law passed by the
Legislature provides that:
"No person shall publicly drink any
Intoxicating liquor as beverage in
any smoking car, parlor car or day
coach of steam railroad or inter-
urban railroad"
Another section of the same act,
however, provides penalty for any
person or corporation:
"Who shall knowingly permit any
person to drink any intoxicating liq-
uor as a beverage in any train, or a
steam railroad or interurban railroad
or coach"
This section would seem to absolu-
tely prohibit the drinking of intoxi-
cants on all railroad or interurban
trains in the state.

BACK OF ALL THERE MUST
BE GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

1t is a common American fallacy to
conclude h when a constitutional
amendment, or a statute, or a charter
is secured the victory has been WOD
and that the patriotic citizen may go
back to the neglected pillow. 1t is
easier to secure ten men to fight deS-
perately for good legislation than n
who will fight steadily and consistently
for good administration. Every stu
dent of politics knows, however, that
there is no automatic device that Will
secure SmOOthly-running self-gOvern-
ment while the people sleep. Perpetual
motion and automatic democracy arc
equally visionary and impossible. The
governor gauges the pressure of public.
interest and regulates his cOnduct ac-
cordingIy. The level of politics is in
the long run the level of public inter-
est in men and affairs political. Under
any system the largest o of inter-
ested and active citizens VIII determ-
inc public policies. and will select the
persons to formulate n administer
them. The u~nintcreSted. or the spas
medically interested. the inactive and
the i~rregulariy active. will be the gov
erned. not the governors.
Neither primary legislation nor any
other type OF legislation can change
this situation. We may make it easier
for the people to pre- Their will: we
NAV simplify the government and rem
der it more clearly and directly re-
SnonSible. but this alone will not in
SIRE the desired result. We may re-
move Instructions and h~indranceS and
Facilitate popular control, but we can
not do more.

Niterbo, Italy. May 20.-Two crown
witnesses, Tomasso de Angels and
Gaetano Amedeo were Intercepted
today in the trial of the Camorrists.
Amedeo admitted that he had COM
mitted many thefts, but becam r"tuc-
tant when questioned about several
~burglaries for which he still can be
tried.
During a previous examination
"Amedeo tried to establish an alibi by
saying that he went to Acerra, seven
miles from Naples on the morning OF
the CuOccolO murder, TO obtain a po-
sitiOn as coacf1man. His employer,
however, has declared that Amedeo
reached Acerra two days after the
crime. Amedeo today was forced 10
admit that he was mistaken as 10 the
date. He maintained, however, that
the wound on his wrist. which was
bandaged about the time Of the Cuoc-
colo murder and which AScrittOre as
serts was received in the fight. was the
esulI of an accident several months
before the crime.
Among the objects seQuestered by
the police in the home of Amedeo was
a burglars outfit, the presence of
which he could not explain. This fact
brought forth an exclamation from
Corrado Sortino, one of the alleged
actual Cuoccolo -murderers, that
brings to my mind a significant clue
to the perpetrator of the crime. Anne
dec wore a black tie like hat found
on the bed of Cuoccolo's wife"
