NOT DOING THINGS.

We hear more or less of ways not to
do things. One way, so far as munich
pal interests go, is the old form of
city government. Does any one sup
pose, for instance, that if we had the
commission form of city government
in Wausau, that the gas, street
railroad, telephone or any other COM
pany would be allowed to lay mains,
conduits or in any manner dig up our
streets without having a representa-
tive of the city on the ground to see
that the streets were put back in
proper condition. We passed the
workers on the telephone trench on
Mcclellan and Fifth streets four
times each day, morning, noon and
evening while they were doing the
job, and never once did we see any
official there looking on. That is one
of the ways of not doing it, and it is
only sample of the almost innumer-
able ways in which, without a COM
mission government, the things that
ought to be done in municipal affairs,
for the good of the citszen are not
now done and will not be done and
cannot be expected to be done by
officials who work without pay. But
there is remedy. Let us have it by
all means. Let us not be among the
this new movement for
better and more economical use of
the taxes we have to pay.

THE CARNIVAL.

The Greater United Shows carnival
organization gave performances in the
base ball park every afternoon and
evening the past week, and received
its measure of patronage. The or
ganization is a large one, having sew
enteen attractions of a worthy nature,
some of them of exceptional merit.
One thing about the company which
commends 1t is its freedom flom the
tough element usually carried by or
following such organizations, and one
thing which struck one in visiting
the different tents was the uniform
courtesy of employees and attendants,
who were very obliging in making
any explanations or answering any
questions regarding any of the fea-
lures. This policy will guarantee the
company return dates in any city it
may visit. In the tent, we visited
we saw nothing Objectionable, nor
were any gambling devices tolerated
on the grounds.
There were large crowds present
day and evening, and everybody ap-
peared satisfied with what they saw.
In the main tent performance is
given consisting of circus features,
but the one which appealed TO most
people was the work of the man who
performed with the trained leopards
and lion. We wouldn't be in that

GETTING RID OF TYPHOID.

Since the city council has taken no
action this year to prevent the annual
pest of typhoid flies, by passing an
ordinance compelling livery barn
owners and other keepers Ct horses to
screen the breeding places of the flies,
it becomes necessary for the suffering
public to ''swat the fiy''--that pub
lie who might have been so easily pro-
tected by the city council. Well, we
must swat the flies. And the ordi-
nary wire screen fy-killer is the ideal
implement and is for sale almost
everywhere, and we shall be obliged to
use it, just as we are obliged to wade
muddy street crossings, until we get
q commission form of government.
Let us not blame our aldermen too
much for this; they work for moth
ing, and can only be expected to do
the sort of work that is usually done
when nothing is the qs.id pro que.
Don't be discouraged fellow citizens
about tackling the job of swatting
the fly. 1t is great deal easier and
takes much less time than brushing
him away from you temporarily with
a wave of the hand or slap which he
easily evades. The terrible fiy-swatter
is just little too quick for the ty-
phoid carrier. 1t gets him every time
unless one aims too much askew,
which is almost impossible. You
may think there are fifty flies in the
house. Go around and swat ten
you've killed all; so much less nu-
merous are they in fact than In APP
pearance when on the wing. The
room is FIJI; of flies. Go about for one
or two minutes with fiy-swatter and
they are all dead, and all danger of
typhoid infection is over until more
come in. Timer Why it takes al
most no time to keep flies out of a
home that has screen doors and screened
tcdadoscs, as those know who have
tried it.
But the best thing Is to leave moth
ing in the back yard that they can
feed upon-no garbage or kitchen
slops- Either bury your garbage or
burn it, or have covered can for 1t
aud hire some drayman TO carry it on
once a week or once fortnight, as
may be necessary. OF course, the
city osght to do this for us, but it
doesn't, and there you are. We must
dc it ourselves as best we can. until
We get commission form of govern
ment.

CITY COUNCIL.

4 meeting Of the city council was
held Wednesday evening, principally
for the purpose of acting on applica-
tions for saloon licenses. Sixty-thrse
applicants were granted licenses and
two were refused. John Wolkowski
and John Gorski are those who win
not operate saloons.
Albert Belize of the town of EastOn,
petitioned the council for settlement
of bill of 5000. Last November,
while he was hauling some cattle
down the Fourth street hill onto the
fiat, his sleigh sloughed and tipped
over. He suffered the fracture of
one of his legs and the dislocation of
one shoulder. He figures his financial
loss at $500, his lost time included,
but says th2t he Is willing to settle
providing the city pays his hospital
and Doctors bills, amounting to about
$500. The matter was referred TO the
committee on claims.
The comptroller was authorized to
purchase nozzles to be placed on the
street sprinklers, for use in sprinkling
some of the streets with oil. 1t is
believed this will be an economical
move Streets 50 sPriakled will pc. <
haps not require any water sprink
ling during the balance of the year,
the streets last longer without repair,
and are practically free of dust at all
times.
The comptroller was also authorized
to purchase street sweeper. The
latter viii! be more especially required
year from now, when the coat of
sand has been removed from the top
of the new block pavement. The
sand will be allowed to remain on the
pavemeDt's surface that length of
time.

plat of an addition to the city, lying

ferred to a committee for approval.
An invitation to our city officers to
attend the meeting of the League of
Municipalities, to be held In Superior

ExTERnINATE THE FLIES.

Here are a few directions for the
prevention of the fly pest which
every citizen of Wausau ought to fol-
low for the health of his family:
Screens, of course. Screen also all
food, especially milk.
Pour kerosene literally over all
garbage. Keep little kerosene in
each garbage pail when empty.
If you have stable, do not let
manure stand. Chloride of lime on
manure will keep flies away. But
this is expensive. Remove the
manure every day.
Place in each room of the house
saucers containing diluted formalde-
hyde. Two teaspoonfuls of formalde-
hyde in pint of sweetened water
will form supply for several rooms.
Keep small children away from this,
as it is poison. There are liquid fly
poisons which are good and the sticky
| fiy paper helps. But do not let dead
flies remain in the room. Dead or
alive get them out.
| Another effective agent Is pyre-
thrum powder. When there are flies
In the room shut the doors and win
oows and pull down all the shades,
leaving one so that the light comes
through small slit at the bottom.
Bring In some live Goals or other
burning substance In shovel and
sprinkle pyrathrum powder upon the
Goals. The fumes viii kill every fiy
in the room. In trying to escape
they make for the slit Of light There
they may be quickly swept up and
thrown outside Of the house.
II Go over your premises every day
and prevent the accumulation of gar.
bage, filth, dirt Sweep out behind
doors and radiators.
II Keep your garbage In closely GOV

XIII More Than wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the
vast number killed by disease germs.
No life Is safe from their attacks.
They're in air, water, dnst, even food.
But grand protection is afforded by
Electric Bitters, which destroy and
expel these deadly disease germs from
the system. That's why chills, fever
and ague, all malarial and many blood
diseases yield promptly to this
wonderful blood purifier. Try them,
and enjoy the glorious health and new
strength they'll give you. Money
