UNDERTAKEN FINED.
Sequel to Death CT Circus Employe
Killed Last Summer.

| A warrant was served on j. A.
week, and on Thursday he was tried
before jury in municipal court, ON
charge of having buried a corpse
without having first obtained burial
permit.
The body was that of Sheridan NJ.
Justus of st. Joseph, Mo-, whom it is
supposed fell off one of Ringling
Bros, circus trains on the morning of
Aug. 2l last, and was killed in the
town of Kronenwetter.
Evidence was given by ex-Coroner
w. G. Dickens; Samuel p. Justus,
father of the dead man; DIR. E. G.
Fish: B. e. Walters; Henry Kronen-
wetter; Dan and Dave Sullivan, and
by the defendant.
The facts brought out were that
the corpse, which was badly mangled,
had been allowed to remain unburied
until decomposition had set in, and
it was then removed from the town
| of Kronenwetter without a permit
from the town chairman and buried,
at county expense. A charge of S18
had been made for casket. When
the corpse was disinterred week
ago, for Identification, it was found
that it had been buried only about
two feet below the surface. When
the box was opened it was found that
no casket had been provided The
corpse had been placed in the rough
box face downward, the severed limbs
thrown in and the head was found
wrapped in gunny sack near the
foot end of the box. The father
testified that there was presence of
something which he thought was
chloride of lime, thrown over the
body.
The undertaken testified that after
he placed the body in the box he did
not again open the box on account of
the condition of the corpse. He
made the charge of S18 for a casket
merely to cover other expenses in
CURED in the burial.
The jury was out but a short time
and returned a verdict of guilty. Mr..
Wagner was fined $50 and costs.
Following the disinterment the
father came to this city and sought
Iepal advice and facts in relation, to

NOT FIRST CASE.

WAUsAU, WIS, March 2, 1911.
b. b. 1hayer:
In your issue OF the PILOT for Feb
ruary %, | notice quotation from
the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, !"
giving an account of an operation
performed recently at Appleton, in
which TRANSMISSION of blood was
made fram one patient to another.
1t is stated in the article that this
was the first case of its kind re-
corded in this state, which statement
is undoubtedly incorrect On the
twenty-ninth of January, 1910, or
more than year ago, the late DR..
Rosenberg and myself made direct
TRANSMISSION of blood at st. Mary's
hospital in young woman who was
in an extremely grave condition due
to severe hemorrhage from an ulcer
of the stomach. The TRANSMISSION
was made in this case to attempt to
supply sufficient blood to enable the
patient to undergo an operation for
the cure of the ulcer and in this case
a sister was the donor.
This operation is by no means rare
and l doubt not it has been performed
in the state of Wisconsin on numer-
Gus occasions. This statement is
made simply with the idea of correct
ing the impression that this proce d.
ure is in any way novel, although,
in its execution it is necessarily, in
all cases more or less spectacular and
readily appeals to public curiosity es-
pecially when carried out in the pres
ence of the representatives of the
press. JOSEPH +. SMITH.

LITTLE BUSINESS THEN.
Old Comfy Beard Records Show Many
Curious Things.

The early records of the county
board of Marathon county show
brevity if nothing else. No long
winded resolutions came before that
body in pioneer days, at least no
record is made of any, and the mill
stones of business, when set in motion,
ground fast. The board met more
frequently than il does at present,
but the sessions were usually of only
one days duration, business for sew
eral months being cleaned up in one
day. The business of ten years before
the civil war could have been crowded
into one such session as is held at the
present time. And no where in the
early records do we find any mention
of any committee work, which is so
strong feature of present day county
boards. The territory then embraced
a large section of Northern Wiscon-
sin, but there were no expensive court
houses, jails, asylums, poor houses,
steel bridges and macadam roads to
build then The exsense of a court
house was saved through the board
members meeting at the home of
the villagers.
In looking over the old proceedings
we find that in early days the office
sought the man, a areverse from present
conditions. In several places we find
where men elected to Office have re-
fused to serve, and the county board
has slapped fine onto them and
elected someone else. The board ap-
peared to be vested with court powers
then.
To show the character of business
coming before the board in early days
we here append the records covering
a period of about six years:
1851

the Eau Claire river (Schofeld)

To the western world this revelation OF the
spirit of revolt and change in China seems
very sudden. Most of us believed that the en-

fusing to admit the blessings OF modern prog
eress We believed that 1t was untouched by
the revolutionary fire which in twenty-five
years has changed the Japanese nation, mirac-
ulously SO that it has shufaed off its old faith,
and its old moralities, adopted the shoddy
clothes of Europe, darkened its cities by the
black smoke of busy factories, made Sums OF
it's fowergardens, established a great army
and great navy to fight war which has
brought it to the verge of bankruptcy, adopted
the philosophy of greed and grab, and general
ly learnt the beauties and joys OF western
civilization. China still seemed to be sleeping
in the sum- or dreaming away Its life In the old
faith OF smiling contempt for the rush and roar
of western progress
All travellers from China bear witness to the
temperate, contented. cheerful, laughing char
acter Of the Chinese peasant. and to the intel
ligence, the courtesy, the equanimity, the kind
illness, the calm philosophy of the Chinese gen.
tleman. When England was tangled forest
Inhabited by naked savages China was the
home of literature and the arts. For two thou
sand years 1t has had it's poets and its great
teachers and its men of science Many or our
modern inventions were discovered by Chinese
sages thousand years ago, and abandoned as
foolish or dangerous toys which would not add
to the happiness of the human race. When
their passions are aroused the Chinese people
have certainly revealed a savage cruelty equal.
but not surprising, perhaps, the cruelty OF the
western world in the middle ages But II all
things are measured up it seems that they have
much to lose as we'll much to gain, in virtue
and in happiness, if they adopt the standards
of European civilization. For, after all, our
western system of society has not, in spite OF
all our progress" given great measure OF
happiness or material comfort to the average
aborer.

China which has succeeded in breaking the
bonds of ancient tradition and humiliating serv-

The startling successive incidents which TO-
cussed the eye of the world on central China
were not the result of any local antiforeign pref
udice but the elimination of carefully pre-

number of years.

Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing q large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which

governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with They give
labor better returns They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at

In place of the Sherman law it is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that 1T could not be
misunderstood 1t Should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public ac-
countant. There should be board

tional government. They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex
anime the records of all the direc-
torates of these companies.

hosts of rebels
Success was almost within their grasp when
the Pek;ng government became alarmed and
frantically appealed to the British government

Gen. Charles Gordon was commissioned for
this purpose, and in cooperation with Ii Hung
