WAUSAU'S PLACE.

Cur city fathers, as we call oul
common council, should wake up to
| the fact that there is no city in this
state as large as ours, north of Wau-
sau, except Superior. 1t is time that
we cast aside all our village ways and
notions and take our place as one of
the large cities of the state. We are
certainly not doing all that we should
do to make US bent our rank as city,
and the sooner we begin to do all we
can the sooner will our city begin to
take on a more rapid growth than
ever.
We have been doing something in
the way Of getting our streets paved,
but we could and should do more.
We have the beginning of very at
tractiye main business street, now,
with its ornamental lights. But it
must be paved at once and then it
must not be permitted to go filthy all
summer except for two or three
Icleanings. 1t must be kept clean all
the time. Our other paved streets
must not be allowed to go without
cleaning as in the past. The proper
thing to do is to get street sweep
ing machine, and keep it going every
day somewhere. We have a city that
if once cleaned properly, could be
| easily kept clean, for our sand does
not make mud as clay soils do, that
is, not so much mud, and this natural
advantage that we have over some
other large cities to the south of us
should not be made az excuse for no
effort to keep clean, but should
prompt OF officials the other way
to doing what can be 50 easily done.
Let us brush up and keep bright
and tidy-looking for the people who
will come here in the course of the
summer to look us over with view
to changing their residence. Let
| filthy streets, alleys and back yards
pass away into the history of the
village of Wausau and better condi-
tionS appear as more beitting our
place as large city. 1t will cost
something Of course, not much, but
something. But if we can add a
thousand each year to our population,
as aCe can, every dollar expended will
bring in better interest than any
other investment open to our tax
payers, considered from the stand
point of the dollar only. But there
is also moral aspect of the question
the public health. Cleanliness is nee
essary to public health. Dirt increases
the death rate. This has been demon
strated in other cities when they
have abandoned filthy habits. 1t is
not a sensational statement that we
make to scare people. No fact or ex-
perience of cities is better proved
than this-diTt increases the death rate.

FIRES.

A fire broke out Friday forenoon in
d lumber pile in the Barker & Stewart
Lumber Co.'S yards. Fortunately it
was discovered soon after it started
and the city's firemen were soon on
the ground. An exceedingly high
wind was blowing at the time, and
had the fire got a good start there is
little doubt but what a severe loss
would have been the result. A switch
engine had been in the yards just
previous to the fire, and it is pre-
sumed that spark escaped from it
and caused the blaze. Another fire
occurred the same day at the home of
Mrs. Jos. Bris Bois, 107 Grand Ave
The blaze was on the roof of wood
shed.

Mrs. Anna Knutson, a resident of
the village of Stratford, was exam
ined mentally in county court Satm-

hospital for a time, that her condi-
tion may be more fully determined.
Six years ago she was committed to
the state hospital for a period of
eight months.
Last Saturday was the anniversary
of the birth of our fellow townsman,
II. H. Manson and on the evening of
that day Mrs. Manson arranged a
surprise for him and quite number
OF his lady and gentlemen friends
dropped in to extend congratulations
and to spend the evening. Bridge
whist was play ed at the close of
which refreshments were served.
Honors were won by Mrs. M. p. Nc
Cullough and w. E. Curtis.
An order went into effect yesterday
causing the Wausau post Office to be
kept open until HOO p. M. hereafter.
For a year or more the local Office has
been open until 900 O'Clock, which
has been a great accommodation to
the letter-writing public. The change
made yesterday is a further accommo-
dation. letters destined for southern
points can be mailed within three
quarters of an hour of the departure
of the Ills c. & N. w. train, the
mail closing at 10:45.

block manufacturers have a large
supply of material on hand this year.
The work will move rapidly when it

anxious to get through with the job
as soon as he can and the street car
company desires to get back on that
street with its cars without any more
delay than possible.
