THE SAMPLE BALLOT.
Takes Enough Paper For An Ordinary
Metropolitan Sunday Daily.

Our county clerk has received cop
les of the sample ballots which are to
be voted at the September primaries.
They are certainly complicated enough
to puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer.
There are four ballots--democrat
republican, prohibitionist and social
democrat. These are some twenty
eight inches long and seven inches
wide, stapled together and perforated
at the top. Each ballet is to contain
the names Of all candidates for Office
state, county, congressman, senators
and assemblymen, and there will be
spaces left for writing such names as
are not on the ballot, but for whom
the voter would like to cast his ballot.
There are some sixty voting pre-
cincts in Marathon county and the
names must be rotated in each pre-
cinct, so that each candidate will
stand an equal chance, with those
who are running against him. The
voter might as well get ready to take
a week off in order to study up and be
prepared to cast his ballot as he
wants to, otherwise he may end up
with nervous DrOStratiOn.

MORE UNDERGROUND WORK.
Telephone Service Between Here and
Schofield to Be Improved.

Cables and material for the extern
sion of the underground system of the
Wausau Telephone company will be
here in few days and the work of
extending the conduits from Fifth
street south to Division alley and
thence west to Grand avenue will be
commenced and rushed to completion
as quickly as possible. This it is
thought best to do on account of the
heavy cables which run down on to
the avenue and are unsightly and in
time will be dangerous. On Scott
street it is also necessary to complete
200 feet of conduit work to the high
bridge. This will be done by the
company as soon as the retaining wall
which was washed out by the recent
flood, is completed. A 400-pair cable
will be laid in the conduits to Grand
avenue and from there, 200-pair
cable to the Sturgeon Eddy road and
from there to Schofield a l00-peir
cable. This will afford much better
service to all subscribers along Grand
avenue and at Schofield.

MUST GIVE THEIR NAME.

Chapter Clio, laws of 1911, was in
voked for the first time in Fond du-
Lac a few days ago. The law re-
quires that when the driver of an au-
tomobile runs down person and in
jures him it is incumbent upoH the
driver to render assistance, and to
give his name, address and number of
the car on request. He must also give
this information if it is requested by
bystander in behalf OF the injured
party and if the driver is not the own
er of the car he must give his name as
well as that of the owner. A man
was struck and injured at Fond du
Lac, but the name of the owner or
driver, or the number of the car,
could not be iearned. A "John Doe''
was issued by the district attorney
and three auto owners were hauled
into court. In this way the owner OF
the car was ascertained.

CITY COUNCIL.

The city council met in adjourned
session on Tuesday evening, Aug. 18th,
and considerable business of import
ance was transacted.
B. G. Gowen, city engineer, sub
mitted plans for the replacing of the
Leahy & Beebe bridge, which was
carried out by the recent food. 1t
was voted that the bridge be restored
as soon as possible to meet the de
mands of traffic, and that SO much of
the old bridge that was in good con-
dition be used in the construction.
Mr.. Gowen also was present with
plans for the bridge at the tannery,
which showed q longer bridge than
the old one and raising it four feet
higher. All piers are to be of tubu-
lar shape and to remove the concrete
pier in the center. These plans were
adopted by the council and the bridge
will be so constructed.
The high bridge repairs are to be
made by using one of the spans of
the tannery bridge, which give the
necessary length and strength. The
bids for repairing the high bridge
and the tannery bridge are to be let
tomorrow. Aug. 14th, after which the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.

ments and amounts owned by the

ALIENISTS TESTIFY.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Alienists employed by Joseph McKin, the 93- year-old millionaire builder. who has been confined in the River Crest San itarium on Long Island since 1907 as an incompetent, testified today at the final hearing of the ease in the Queens county court. Nc Kim asks for his release and for the dicharge of William WiIlett. Jr, as the com mittee of his person and estate, al- legfng that he is of sound mind and wrongfully held. Alienists will testi- fy that Mckim is sane and compe- tent to manage his affairs. rebutting the evidence given recently by other authorities on mental diseases.
 Alienists called in opposition to the granting of Mckim's prayer, declared that the wealth.. old man was not competent to manage his estate, but no two ef them agreed as to the req son for this incompetency. One said McKim suffered from paranoia. A second said dementia was what 1iled him. A third. said he was the victim of an unspecified form Of insanity. Mental deterioration was the diagno- sis of d fourth expert. Dr. Dcld, su- perintcndent of the sanitarium where McKim is held, asserted that his pa ticnt labored under delusions of per sccution, and cited as an example the statement of Mckim that members of his (McKim's) family had tried to poison him. with corrosive sublimatc in his food.
 Dr. Dcld said Mckim's delusions often took the form of a refusal to eat anything but boiled eggs, because it is impossible to put poison in them The superintendent also alleged that McKim refused to drink liquor from glass and insisted upon having un- opened bottles
 Dr. Macumbcr, another alienist, tes- tified that when he examined McKHn the latter was unable to tell him the day of the month or week. At torneys for McKim asked the spe- cialist:
 What day Of the month was Thursday of last week."
