TAKES ACID AND DIES.

Mrs. Chas. Harbaugh, residing at
409 Seventh street, died Thursday
evening between the hours of eleven
and twelve, as a result of taking a
dose of carbolic acid. Deceased had
supper ready for her husband at six
O'Clock when he came home off his.
run on the st. Paul road, and at
about seven O'Clock walked down the
street with him to the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Kum-
merow on Scott street, where she
spent the evening. Her husband had
some work to do in the yards and ex-
pected to call for her at about nine
O'Clock, but his work kept him longer
than he expected. At about 1920
she went to her home block and
half away, her mother accompanying
her. Upon entering the house she
put her child to bed and talked with
her mother few minutes and when
the latter left the house Mrs. Har-
baugh went out on the porch and
said Good Bye A few minutes
later her husband returned home
and found the door locked He
raped at the door and his vile came
and opened it. AS soon as he entered
he detected the smell of a crug and
asked her what she had been using.
She replied by telling him that she
had taken carbolic acid and was go
ing to leave him. Mr.. Harbaugh ran
to neighbor's home, then notified
her parents and summoned physi-
clan. When the doctor arrived the
woman was too far gone to respond
to any medical assistance, and she ex-
pired shortly after.
The coroner was notified and en-
paneled jury which met the follow
ing morning. Thursday evening the
carbolic acid bottle could not be To-
Gated, but next morning it was found
out just beyond the sidewalk, where
it had evidently been thrown after
the contents were swallowed.
1t was two ounce bottle and was
purchased last February of local
druggist. Part of the contents had
been used as a mouth wash, being
diluted in water. Evidently not
much was left in the bottle at the
time it was emptied, for the woman's
llnouth was not badly burned The
only outside evidences of the acid
was a burned streak running from
the mouth down the chin.
The coroners jury, after listening
to evidence Friday morning, rendered
a verdict in effect that deceased came
to her death as result of carDolic
acid taken internally.
Mrs. Harbaugh celebrated her
twenty-frst birthday ten days pre-
vious to her demise. She was born
and reared in Wausau, and was mar
ried about four years ago. Besides
her husband parents, sisters and
brother she is survived by one child,
a little boy three years of age. The
funeral was held yesterday afternoon.

SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

The bridge which crosses the North
western Ry. Co.'s cut at Canal street
will soon be opened to trafiic-provid-
ing any traffic can get over it, Since
the bridge was completed last fall no
teams have been able to cross it, be-
cause no earthern approaches were
provided. Filling will soon be hauled
and the structure opened. Everyone
who has viewed it has an opinion of
his own concerning it. From short
distance it appears as if each end
rested on private property. 1t is not
in line with the street, by mill site,
but is built almost crosswise CT
Canal street. Go and look at it your
self.
Mrs. Mary Haslbeck, proprietress
of a saloon in the town of Hull, was
arrested last week by Sheriff O'Con-
nor and brought to this city. The
charge against her was that of selling
liquor to people under age. The COM
plaint was made by the mayor of the
village of Colby. People that were
posted in the village, too, were served
with liquor by this woman, it was
claimed. In Justice Larner's court
she entered a plea of guilty and was
assessed total of $3.50.
Mrs. Jacob Steltz entered st. Mary's
hospital Sunday She has been ailing
for some time.

MORE PAVING.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held Friday evening, called for
the purpose of considering TWO paving
propositions. AS is known, the street
car company will build a loop on
Washington, Fourth and Scott streets.
The paving blocks on the first and
last streets are in mushy condition,
and should be replaced with other
material. Further, when they were
paved the grade was not brought up
to within several inches Of where it
should have been. Taking these two
things into consideration the city
authorities and property owners came
to the conclusion that it would be a
good idea TO repave those streets, be-
tween Third and Fourth, at the time
they will be torn up for the laying of
track.
Petitions had been circulated among
property owners, but only one was
presented at Fridays meeting. A
resolution providing that both streets
should be repaved, was presented and
was unanimously adopted. 1t was
thought that it might be possible to
expedite matters and do away with
the formality of advertising for bids,
ETC., but an investigation determined
that this could not be done.
An effort will be made to secure
the best possible contract for doing
the work. NJ G. Ewing, in behalf of
the railroad company, stated that in
case such a contract could not be
made, then his company stood ready
to take up and execute the work, at a
low figure.
1t was the intention of his company
to take up the brick between the rails
on Third street, and use them on the
Scott and Washington street paving,
but it is not likely that this plan will
be carried out, for the city's officials
don't like the idea of having two
kinds of paving material on one street.
1t makes street look like crazy
quilt affair.
The Scott street property owners
desired creosoted blocks on their
street, and as the resolution for the
repaving of Washington street called
for the same material, both streets
will be uniform with Third.
From conversation had with Con-
tractor Chris. Johnson of Oshkosh, it
is believed that satisfactory arrange
ments can be made whereby he can
take up this work at or about the
same time he is filling the Third
street contract.
This week the local gas company
dug trench for larger main on
Scott street. In digging up the cedar
blocks they fell in pieces. They are
rotted through and thruogh. The
ones on Washington street are in the
same condition.

TALKING SOMEWHAT LOUDER

The sprinkling wagons have started
upon their summer job of spelling our
street crossings with mud. AS we
have to pay taxes for this sprinkling,
would it not be fair to do it in such a
way that we shall get more benefit
than injury from it. As at present
conducted, it does as much harm in
muddy crossings as it does good in
laying the dust. The good it does
only affects the harm, and there is
nothing left that we ought to be
taxed for. We heard of a man once
whose name was John Hole, and who
was so lazy that when he signed his
name he just wrote j., and then
punched hole through the paper
with pen. That is just about the
amount of laZiness required to pre-
vent a water wagon driver from shut
ting off his sprinkler while passing
over a street crossing. A city officer
who has not energy enough to say
"don't muddy up the crossings" is
''classy" too, in the way of inertia.
Patience has long ceased to be a
virtue with our pedestrians in Wau-
sau. 1t is high time to call some
things by their right names. Com
mission government can't come too
soon if we are not to have pasSable
street crossings. Until we get it
some of the experience we are getting
may be valuable later on when the
voters have to decide who ought not
to be elected. No one is compelled to
accept city Office that pays no sal
airy, therefore no one should unless
willing to perform its duties.

SALOON CLOSING.

In our last issue we stated that a
new rule would 60 into effect last week
regarding the closing hours of saloons.
The mayor, in a letter to the chief
of police, gave such orders, and the
chief served notice on every saloon
keeper in the city on Thursday last.
That night the order went into effect.
Every saloon was closed promptly at
one O'Clock Friday morning and on
Sunday forenoon each one remained
closed. The order also effects pool and
billiard halls as well, for they too are
a lounging place for men and boys
when such men and boys ought to be
getting refreshing sleep.
From information received on the
street we learn that the majority of
saloon keepers are in accord with the
rule, and nearly every one would have
adopted the same plan a long time
ago, without any orders, only for the
reason that the other fellow kept his
place open. If Wausau must have
saloons, as was manifested at the last
election, enough liquor can be sold in
seasonable hours without keeping
saloons open all night, and on this
point most saloon keepers will agree.
The new order of affairs will have a
tendency to send young fellows home
early-the old FOUNDERS will stay out
hugging telephone poles, anyhow.
