CONVICT CAMPS
NOT SANITARIUMS
Because a Criminal Is Sick Is No Rea'
SON Why Courts Sentence Should
Not Be Carried Out.


Not Be Carried Out.
ATLANTA.-That the state convict
camps are not sanitariums and the
ball and chain are not cures for all
ills of the flesh is plainly SCI forth
by Governor Jos. NJ. Brown in a
statement today declaring that i'll
bealth is no ground whatever Tor a
pardon, and that in convicting AMI
sentencing a man for crime the state
is under no obligation to guarantee
that he will enjoy good health for the
rest of his days.
The governor made the statements
in connection with his refusal to par
don Berry Cannon, who is serving a
life sentence for murder, in Johnson
county.
Il am unable to approve clemen-
cy," the governor declared. This
seems to have been an unjustifiable
killing. The only reason urged for
releasing the man from the peniten-
tiary is his i'll health If pardons
were based solely on this plea prac-
tically all convicts would soon be in
the hospitals. The state does not
guarantee good health to those i'm
INJURED for crime, All persons out
of the penitentiary occasionally get
Siclx and ltJtim atelv die Z"
Cannon began his life term in
1907. 1t is now claimed that he has
tuberculosis.

OHIO PROTECTS SKUNKS.
Legislature Extends Closed Season
For the Little Scented Cats.

Ohio has amended its game laws
so as to extend the closed season
for skunks The legislation is far
outside the freak class. The skunk
may be unpopular, but he is beauti-
full and valuable, not only for his
pelt, but because he devours insects
and field mice. He is the friend of
fashionable women who wear furs
and of the farmer. The skunk furn-
ishes an example OF how one bad
trait may cause a half dozen good
ones to be forgotten.

BADLY INJURED.


Last Saturday morning, Arthur u
rich, young man born and raised in
Wausau, and "A years of age, was
struck by the passenger train at New
London, which was coming north and
which reaches Wausau a little after
II O'Clock. The young man is in the
employ of the G. & n w. R'y Co.
firing an engine and his run is be-
tween Amigo and Fond du Lac. He
stepped from his engine onto the track
as the train came along. He was
thrown quite distance and was
picked up unconscious and taken to
the New London hospital and upon
examination, it was found that one of
his legs was broken, a severe scalp
wound and his body was very badly
bruised and he sustained internal in
juries. His mother Mrs B. Ulrich
and sister Miss Lydia, OF this city,
were taken to his bedside at once
Mrs. Ulrich returned Saturday night
leaving him resting nicely, and inn
proving. AS we go to press this after
noon word has been received from
New London that Mr.. Ulrich is COM
ing along nicely and will recover.

MORE BRIDGES NEEDED.

The proposed bridge across the
Wisconsin river, joining the town of
Weston with the town of Flieth, has
been surveyed and plans drawn. 1t
is proposed to cross the Wisconsin
river just above the Marathon coun-
ty asylum, to Third Ave. south, on
the west side. This not only would
be great benefit to the two towns
but also to the county, as it would
put the ASYLUM in closer touch with
its west side lands. A S it is now it
is very inconvenient, making it neces-
sary for the county to take its stock
and men to labor long distance, in
roundabout way. AS this bridge
is sure to be built, why not have the
matter taken up at once and work
commenced. Besides being neces-
sity it will make beautiful drive in
the southern part Of our city and
will open up line part of our coun-
ty. If this was brought about the
street railway might be extended to
the factory district and to the asylum
which would be great benefit to
the public.
We hope that this bridge will be
built by the county and also that the
city will take up the proposition of
building another one at the north
end of the city over the Wisconsin
river, which would mean the opening
up of the whole north end OF Wausau.
IL would prove a wonderful conven-
fence, as our city cannot grow without
bridges crossing at necessary places
on the river

were taken to the undertaking rooms
of Ritter & Deutsch.
At present writing neither of the
bodies of Gertrude or Eleanor Janke
have been recovered, notwithstand-
ing searching parties have been cut
night and day.
OF all the sad and heartrending
catastrophies which have ever hap
pened in the history of our city, none
has ever surpassed the drowning of
these two highly esteemed citizens of
our city and the four little children.
Gustav II. Janke, Sr., has always
resided in this county ana city. He
was born in the town of Hamburg on
the 18th of April, 1868. He early
came to Wausau and for many years
followed the work of cabinet maker
He was considered one of the finest
workmen in our city in his line.
For many years he was connected with
the firm of Janke & WeiSe, which
was afterwards merged into the Wau-
sau Furniture & Fixture company,
since which time he has been at the
head of the mechanical department
of that institution. On the 2lst of
June, 1892, he was united in marriage
in Wausau TO Albertine Bloom, and
nine children were born to them, five
of whom survive, Henry, Gilbert,
Dorothy, Emma and Clara. Deceased
is also survived by a brother, Louis
Jahke; Henry Wiederhoeft, half
brother, and three half-sisters: Mrs.
Herman Roehl, Mrs. William Voigt
and Mrs. Robert Radloff.
Herman A. Roehl was born in Ced
arburg, Wis, on the 29th day of July,
1865. He came to Marathon county
when a young man and taught school
in the town of Hamburg for 20 years,
and he was we'll known throughout
the county in educational circles and
was recognized as very able teacher.
He came to Wausau and was mail
carrier for about one month,
but did not like the work. From
here Mr. Roehl and his family went
to Hermansvile, in the upper PENN
sula of Michigan, nearly seven years
ago, where deceased engaged in the
mercantile business. He conducted
the business for five years and then
sold out, returning with his family to
Wausau in May, 1912. He has been
for some time in the employ of the
Curtis & Yale Co. Mr.. Roehl was the
owner Of two fine farms in the town
of Hamburg and was man highly
esteemed by all who knew him. On
the 18th OF Feb, 1891, he was united
in marriage, in the town of Hamburg,
to Anna Wiedenhoeft, who survives
her husband as do four children, viz:
Dora, Edna, Arnold and Walter.
Gustav Janke, ST., was a nephew
and Mrs. H. A. Roehl is niece of
Mrs Jacob Kolter.
Arrangements have been made for
the funeral which will take place
Thursday afternoon at O'Clock from
the Zion's Evangelical Lutheran
church, the Rev. George G. Schroedel
The remains will be taken
to the church at 10 O'Clock a. m.
where they will lie in state until II m.
