WALLSCRUNbLEDA HOUSES
FELL AS MANCHURIA SAILED

Moored at Alakea wharf today is a
trans-Paciic liner that created more
than its share of excitement at one
Japanese port of call.
The big steamship Manchuria, from
Manila by the way of Hongkong and
Japan ports, will remain here until to-
morrow morning, pending the dis
charge OF 1000 tons oriental mer-
chandise.
The Manchuria steamed across the
big ocean with the aid Of brand
rev propeller, the vessel having re-
ceiyed damage during a thrilling Sc

II was while the liner prepared to
steam away from Nagasaki, Jaran,
that the leviathan caused a commo-

anchorage at the Japanese port that
brought several dwellings to destruc-
ton.
Il was found necessary to turn the
steamer and in. doing so the engines
began to revolve. the screws churn-.

strong current. as one eyewitness
reported the event this morning:
"The Manchuria commenced to
swing. the water boiled and frothed

she was pointing across harbor, with.
her stern dead on the slipway. Then
things happened. You know those
moving pictures. where some myste-
rious agency, some magic unexpected.
causes things to crumhle and fall
apart? It was like that. There was
the Manchuria, some distance re-
moved from the land, and yet she was
exerting malign power over the slip
way, compelling and destructive
force. The walls which ran down to
the water must have been mere rip
rap, stones loosely thrown together,

houses. and the flimsy building fell
apart. Another house shuddered. ex-

HOLIDAY SEASON AT HAND.

One week from Thursday is Christ
mas. One can hardly believe that the
day is so near at hand because, up to
this date the weather has seemed
more like the fore part of October.
A person has but to 60 into our stores
and watch the hurrying to and fro of
those out purchasing Christmas gifts,
to be convinced that he is not dream
ing. Notwithstanding the weather
conditions, the holiday trade is re-
ported very good. This is the season
of good cheer, when the little ones
are looking forward to the visit of
Santa Clsus, and those of mature
years, scraping together money enough
to purchase presents TO go around.
Our business men are getting up a
fund with which TO purchase dinners
for the less fortunate. After suffi-
cientsum has been raised committee
will distribute baskets to families
whose names have been given them.
From present indications, Christmas
this year will not have any snow and
consequently no jingling of bells, and
no sleighing, while this is the present
outlook, there are ten days yet
before Christmas. We may by that
time have several feet of the
beautiful"
The young people who are attend
school, are coming home early for the
holidays and soon, Wausau will be
full of gaiety.

There was meeting of the Wausau
Branch of the Wisconsin Humane
Society at the court house on Wednes-
day evening. The attendance was
very good. Mrs. w. G. Dickens, who

excellent agent, giving her attention
to all the details for the past fifteen
years without fear or favor. 1t is to
be regretted that she finds it necessary
to give up the work There was con-
siderable discussion on various topics
concerning the society. Reports were
read and officers elected as follows:
President-Dr. b. III. Conlin.
Nice-PreS.-A. c. Schmidt.
2nd Vice Pres Mrs. S. NJ. Quaw.

CHRISTMAS DON'TS FOR THE
HOME.

Every year in America many chill
dren are burned to death, or seriously
injured, through fire arising from
Christmas tree candles or the careless
handling of matches. Here are few
samples, in simple terms of fire chiefs
and town clerks: O "The house was
all afire from the overturned tree)
before they noticed it. Did not have
time to save two small Children" 9
'"The mother had gone out to milk
the COWS, and her little girl, four
years old, came down stairs i'm her
nightdress, and, finding no one about,
climbed up, got some matches, and
thought she would try to relight the
tree. In some way her night-dress
caught fire. She ran up stairs and
got into bed, set the bedding on fire;
then jumped into another bed and
set the other bedding on fire. When
the mother came in, the clothing was
burned off the little girl and although
she ran for water and got the fire out,
the child died" (3p Mother was in
the pack yard hanging up clothes. See
ing the smoke coming from the room,
she ran in to save two small children,
who were found on stairway leading
TO upper floor. All three died from
the effects of the fire. playing with
matches.) The state fire department
sends out The following don'ts, hop
ing thereby to prevent some of the
usual Christmas CONGREGATIONS
Do not decorate your Christmas
tree with paper, cotton, or any other
infiammable material Use metallic
tinsel and other infiammable decora-
tions only, and set the tree securely,
so that the children in reaching for
things cannot tip it over.
Do not use cotton to represent
snow If you must have snow, use
asbestos fiber.
Do not permit children to light or
relight the candles while parents are
not present. They frequently set fire
to their clothing instead. The tree
itself will burn when needles have be-
come dry.
No not leave matches within reach
of children at Holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted, and if the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them. They natur-
ally initiate their elders.

SAD DEATH.

Another death added to the list of
taking fatal dose of carbolic acid
through mistake, occurred at Necedah
Sunday evening. the 7th, at which time
Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Livernash well
known residents of this city was the
victim. The young lady was suffer
ing Saturday evening with a severe
toothache and previous to retiring
for the night placed two small bottles,
one containing wine and the other
carboiic acid, which she had been US
ing for the toothache, on a chair be-
side her bed. Shortly after retiring
she poured the carbolic acid in the
wine glass, and being in the dark and
no doubt dazed with the pain never
noticed the difference and took the
fatal dose. Her mother heard her
scream and soon discovered the trou-
hle, but in spite of every effort the
quickest medical aid they could get
was not until O'Clock in the morn
ing and it was then too late and death
ended her suffering Sunday afternoon.
The deceased young lady was the eld-
est of six daughters and was II years
of age. She was exceptionally
bright, and general favorite of all
whom she met. The family was
prominent at Necedah, her father be-
ing cashier in the Necedah State
Bank and for some time previous was
train dispatcher of the ST. Paul road
in this city. The funeral was held
from the M. E. church Necedah
Wednesday morning and was largely
attended. The sad taking away of
this young lady, just in the prime of
life, when the future promised SO
bright for her, with every advantage
at her disposal, points out to us the
uncertainty of this life, and how
quickly it can be snuffed out and also
the great danger in making use of
such dangerous drugs. The parents
are Frustrated with grief and GER
tainly have the sympathy of the en-
tire community.

PEDDLER Law VALID

A majority of the supreme court
last week, held constitutional the
statute providing for the licensing of
peddlers, and applied it to man who
had a fixed domicile and did not carry
his goods with him while on the road.
De Witt, Birnamwood man, agent
for the j. r. Watkin Co., Winona,
Mimi, was convicted and fined for
peddling without license. He con-
tended the peddler's law exacts tax
and is only an exercise by the state of
its taxing power. The state con-
tended the primary feature of the
law was regulation of the occupation
of hawkers and peddlers and that it
was an exercise of the states police
power.
De Witt assailed the constitution
ality of the law on the ground that it
violates the constitutional provision
that the rule of taxation shall be uni
form. He also setup that because the
goods sold were shipped from another
state (Minnesota) he was engaged in
interstate commerce and that the law
was not applicable to him. Thestate
replied that he did not sell the articles
in the original packages, and that
even If he did it had right to i'm
pose the tax
De Witt asked the supreme court to
reverse the judgment and grant him
new trial.

Heavy Operators In Logging, Piles,
Posts, Ties, Etc.

One of the very heavy operating
firms in northern Wisconsin in log
cling, ETC., is Hale & Mylrea, whose
HEADQUARTERS are In Wausau. This
firm is composed of J. d. Mylrea of
This city and Geo. Hale of Amigo,
two young men who have done Won
tiers In the numbering business the
last few years. The firm operates in
Forest County where 1t owns large
tracts of virgin timber. In one
branch of the business the firm of
Hale & Mylrea has made wonderful
strides and that is in piling. During
The past five years it has jumped up
from the bottom to first place In the
state and today it Is furnishing more
piling than any other one firm in
Wisconsin. 1t supplies piling for
railroading, docks, piers, etc., and it
takes in the lake district, as far east
as Detroit. The firm has nine miles
of railroad over which it hauls its
aucts, bringing eqerything ont to
the main line of the G. & N. w. r. r.
1t uses 65 fat cars all especially ar
ranged for hauling logs according to
plans prepared by Mr.. Hale. On these
cars, not chain is used and all that
is necessary to unload, is to take out
a bolt which releases timber at one
end and the logs roll off with very
little effort. This is arranged so chat
there is no danger whatever to any
one of the crew.
Mr.. Hale attends to the operating
entirely and Mr.. Mylrea to the selling,

Allegations of frantic but unsuc-

tack of a negro porter, were made
here last Thursday in connection with
the arrest OF the alleged offender,
Robert Williams.
The passenger was Miss Cecilina

a farmer of Tomahawk, Wis, who
was on her way to Dalton, ILL.,, last
