WAUSAU $3.50.

The census bureau last Thursday
issued census figures for twenty-six
wisconsin cities, including Wausau.
These figures show that Wausau b&a
population last June of 1850. as
against IA, 458 in 1905 and 1885 in
1900. The school census, taken in
July OF the present year, gave us
1886. In point of population Wau-
sau ranks thirteenth among Wiscon-
sin cities. Our gain in the past ten
years has been 34.O4 per cent. and we
have passed over the heads of Mari
nette and Ashland, both of which
show decreases in population. Quite
a number of cities show losses over
the figures for ten years ago. One of
these is our neighbor to the south.
Stevens Point. Merrill gains but lit
tie over l0O The population of near by
cities is given as follows: Marshfield,
5,763; Amigo, 1876; Grand Rapids,
6,521; Merrill, $500; Rhinelander,
5,637; Stevens Point, 1852. Stevens
Point and Merrill are of equal size.
Among the large cities of the state
Kenosha has probably made the
biggest gains, increasing nearly 10000
In ten years. This is due to the loca-
tion there of several big institutions
employing thousands of men.

NO VOTER-NO OFFICE.

Judge S. d. Hastings of the Four
teenth judicial circuit, has just rem
dered decision which may have an
important bearing on politics in Wis
consin in the future. At the last
election Miss Adeline Pratt was
elected register of deeds Of Marinette
county over Z. ID. Galineau, and a
certificate of election was issued to
her. The latter contested her cleo
tion and it was brought before Judge
Hastings, who holds that she is in
eligible TO hold the office because she
Is not an elector. With her attorney
as witness she made formal demand
for possession of the office, but Mr..
Galineau, who has held the Office the
past two years, refused to turn 1t
over to her. An appointment Will
necessarily have to be made, which
undoubtedly will cause further legal
ENHANCEMENT. Up in Ashland county
a woman was elected county treasurer,
but her election was not contested.
Mis- Pratt was elected by only a few
votes, while in the Ashland case the
woman's election was popular, she re-
ceiving more than twice as many votes
as her two opponents.

AS TO CHILD LABOR.

j. r. Bloom of Neenah, state fac
tory inspector, visited Wausau about
ten days ago, and making an nyesti-
cation of the manner in which child
child labor permits are granted in
county and municipal courts, he de-
clared that some which had been
issued were not legal. His basis for
making such declaration was that
such permits had not been recon-
mended or approved by the superin-
tendent of our city schools. Judges
Warren and Marchetti held different.
The latter in printed letter said
he would mot admit the right of the
teacher or clerk of the school district
to command the judge to issue, or re-
fuse to issue, a permit" Now comes
Attorney General Frank l.. Gilbert,
who declares it illegal to issue child
labor permit without the recommend
alton of the school principal or the
clerk of the board.

Jas. O'Connor died Friday morning
in St. Mary's hospital of gangrene
poisoning. He was sixty-six years of
age. Mr.. O'Connor was conductor
on the Northwestern road for great
many years: and prior to his retire
ment some years ago, he ran train
ON the Marshfeld branch, making his
home in Wausau. After leaving the
road he opened hotel in Hatley in
partnership with his brother-in-law
Joe Gosch. He had been in poor
health for some years and some time
ago entered the hospital, where he
had one of his toes removed. Later
gangrene set in, which caused death.

ANNUAL MEETING.

The different clubs of the NV.
baseball league will take a mail vote
on the question of holding the annual
league meeting. 1t will undoubtedly
be held in some Minnesota city, prob
ably Winona or Rochester. President
Elliott is determined to resign as the
league head. Several sporting editors
of Minneapolis newspapers have been
mentioned as successors. Wausau
will probably be represented at this
meeting by either Secy. Robt. Hoch-
tritt or Pres. Mark Bells, or possibly
both. Last week Milwaukee news
papers said that Wausau was desirous
of obtaining berth in the WI.
league, to take the place of Fond du
Lac. Those connected with the Wau-
sau club know nothing of any such
move. 1t is likely that Fond du Lac
and Oshkosh will be dropped from the
latter league.

A WORD FROM EX-MAYOR
MATT STAPLETON.

RHINELANDER, Wis, Jan. 3, 1911.
WAUsAU PILOT, Wausau, Wis.
Mr.. Editor II read with great
pleasure in your valuable paper an
article concerning the lumber jack.
l see you suggest law be passed that
guardian be appointed for the lum-
Der jack before he leaves the camp,
to protect him, ! suppose, from the
saloons that he might return home to
his wife and children or other friends
with at least enough of the long
green to settle his debts and be
credit to his family at least.
Why not then remove the cause,
and lessen the temptation ? A lum-
Der jack is but human, and great
number of them, like other citizens,
Can not pass finely decorated saloon
sign. But we should not overlook the
fact that every honest, hardworking
citizen is a valuable factor in COM
munity without regard to his bank
account, and and work that will help
to protect and make good citizens will
pay heavy dividends not only next
year but for years to come.
Our state prisons, asylums, county
jails, and poor houses are full, and
out in our pauper fields lie the bodies
of many a man that should be out on
farm lands in northern Wisconsin
with good homes and broad fields
cleared up and beautiful family
around him, and would no doubt only
for this great evil, and millions of dol
lars would be added to our tax role
that possibly would not be here but
for the few dollars we receive as
license and the careleSsneSs of our
district attorneys and sheriffs in en-
forcing the laws, but the day is COM
ing when we will have president
that will issue orders to each governor
in the United States to enforce the
laws or he will send the U. S. troops
to see that they are, then in turn the
governor will order the district at
torneys and sheriffs to enforce the
laws or he will send the state troops
to enforce them, and if this does not
soon come to pass some nation will be
ruling US instead of the army of GRIM
inals and loafers that now dictate TO
our officers what laws to enforce.
Wishing your paper the best of sue
cess, remain,
Yours truly,
MATT STAPLEToN,
Ex-Mayor and Lumber Jack.

DINNER AT SCHOOL.

The management Of the agricultural
school provided big eat for the
members of the county board last
Thursday. There were present about
sixty, including several towns people
who have never been affiliated With
that honorable, august and venerated
body. The dinner was served in the
assembly room in the agricultural
school, and the time from II m. to
2 p. m. was taken up in eating and
speech-making.
The dinner was gotten up by the
girls of the domestic science depart
ment, under Miss Emma Conley's
supervision, and would satisfy the
most exacting feeder. The girls of
that department also acted as wait
resses, and though perhaps not able
to balance tray on two fingers and
thumb as does a coon IN dining
car, they showed tl4at they are not
lacking in training.
This was the first time in about
four years that the board has been
invited to one of these school dinners,
and to some it WAS their first visit.
After dinner, speech-making began,
John f. Lamont acting as toast
master. A. L. Kreutzer spoke of the
efficiency of both schools the agri-
cultural and training. He asked the
board members to make an effort to
create a sentiment in their district in
favor of these schools, and try to in
duce young people, to attend either
one or the other. He pleaded for a
higher education. A. J. Plowman,
chairman of the board, dwelt upon
the Importance of agriculture, espec-
tally scientific agriculture, such as is
taught in our county school. Other
speakers were Herman Hedrich of the
town of -Holton; John Wesley of the
town OF Eau Pleine; F. P. Regner,
district attorney; WenZel Pivernetz,
county superintendent of schools;
Carl Kruger, assistant cashier of the
First National Bank; Miss Emma
Conley, teacher of domestic science of
the county agricultural school.
Mr.. Kruger urged the board
members to make provision in tinan-
cial way for betterment of the school,
He said he had been informed that
the school funds had heretofore been
insufficient to bring it up to the
standard aimed at.
Mr.. Wesley said he knew the value
of the training school for he married
one of its graduates. Mr.. Wesley re-
Gently bought an automobile, and he
found his wife's aid very valuable in
training the machine.
At the close j. f. Kadonsky, princi-
pal of the school, spoke of the work
being done by the school, and told of
work which he proposes to carry out
which will benefit the farmers of the
county.
Some time was spent in showing
the visitors through the different de-
partments of the building, and max
ing them acquainted with the charac-
ter of the work being done to elevate
the student of scientific farmsng,
manual training and domestic econ

CITY COUNCIL.

neld last tuesday evening the matter
of installing municipal lighting
plant again came up. This resulted
in some of the councilmen waxing
quite warm, and pointed questions
being asked, necessitating the mayor
calling order several times. Alder
man Hugo Peters was asked if it was
not true that he is a stockholder in
the Wausau Street Railroad Co., to
which he replied that if he is it would
not influence his vote on the munich
pal lighting question. Finally Alder
man Mohr moved that $500 be anpro-
priated for the expense of hiring an
expert to make report on the mat
ter. This was voted down. The
mayor then read the report of the
board of public works and numerous
letters from concerns engaged in gen.
Grating electricity, all of which went
to show that electric current could be
produced at 1c per K w. A motion
was made empowering the board of
public works and the city attorney to
confer with the state rate commits
sion, and ascertain what formalities
must be observed before the installa-
tion of such plant is begun, which
was carried.
Alderman Schulze offered a resolu-
tion providing for the appointment of
committee of three for the purpose
of etfecting a settlement with John
Lemke, the farmer who was injured
while crossing the railroad tracks
near the lower bridge year ago. He
was thrown into the gully at the
east end of the bridge, there being no
fence to keep teams from going over
the embankment. A vote was taken
on the resolution and it was lost
The city attorney then notified the
council that if the matter goes to
suit, as it likely will, the city will
stand little chance of winning. Mr..
Lemke offered to settle for 5000.
A communication from the PARK
board was read, calling attention to
the proposition of w. r. Chellis to
sell to the city plot of ground, |
twenty-five acres in extent, for park.
B. ID. Conlin, of the board was pres
ent, and addressed the council on the
advisability of buying this ground |
A motion was passed providing that a
committee of three be appointed to
look over the ground and report on
the proposition.
From a question asked, it developed |
that the city's contract with an Osh-
kosh man to lay the Third street
pavement has been nullified by the |
man. 1t has been ascertained that |
he held similar contract with the
city of Oshkosh, which he could not |
fill because he could not secure the
material.
The mayor said that at the next |
he wished to take up the |
matter of the street railway company |
double tracking Third street, and |
suggested that an adjourned meeting
be held on Jan. Is, and that date was
fixed upon.
A resolution was offered providing
that the board of public works secure
plans and SPECIFICATIONS for a new
city hall, such building not to exceed
in cost 0S0 900 rTbic bro,1uht ont
more discussion. Some thought the
hall ought to be built right away.
Then the question was raised, "How
are we to build a $4,000 building
when wehave but $40, 900 in the fund2''
resolution was held up.
The report of the city comptroller
showed the following moneys in the
various funds at the end Of the year
