CITY COUNCIL.

The city council met in special ses-
sion last Tuesday evening and mat
tiers pertaining to the health depart
ment took up about all of the time.
John Lamont who had been inspect
ing the books of the city treasurer
and city clerk as to the general fund
and school funds, reported every thing
all right. Chief of Police Malone and
the poor commissioner submitted re-
ports.
The health department presented a
bill of nearly $3.50, which was referred
to the proper committee which re-
ported it back to the council for dis
cussion. DIR. Sauerhering health COM
missioner appeared and talked upon
the bill, showing that the depart
ment was keeping well within the
limits of the estimated expense of
conducting the department, made by
him. He explained the various bills
and they were finally allowed. DR..
Sauerhering sent in his resignation
but up to date no action has been
taken upon it by the council.

WONDER WHO 1T WAS.

1t came hard with Wausau sports
man to steal Lincoln county officers
deer. After 'near appearance" in
court in the town of Somo, the hunt
er, who had ''swiped" the deer, div
We'd up with the owner, paid the Off
Ger $50, and went home lightened in
heart and pocketbook.
Early one moIn, the official sailed
forth to kill deer. Bang He had
nice specimen. Hanging the deer
to a tree, the party went on TO get
one for the other members.
When he returned from the hunt,
he found his kill gone. Suspecting
party from Wausau as guilty of the
theft, he approached them as they en-
tered Tripoli, with search warrant,
and located his deer by certain dis
tinctive marks, though the license
had been removed.
The hunter attempted to square"
himself but with no avail. He was
due for a hauling into court and all
was set for the trial. Here was where
the high court of Somo got into ac-
ton. So convincing the violator that
it would be handed" to him good
and hard, he oiled up the machinery
bit, and paid $50 immunity and left
the deer, before the wheels of justice
had fairly got into motion.
The Wausau party "beat it" out OF
the territory rapidly, not taking
chances on further encroaching, where
the interests of lawful hunter were
50 carefully protected.-Merrill Her

EDITOR PILOT:
Dear Sir: That confidence may
instantaneously be restored to this
country, that the wheels of industry
may whirr, that the jooless may go to
work, that an unprecedented era of
prosperity may dawn for this nation,
l deem it my duty to give to your
paper and the public at large. the
text of important communications
which have passed between me and
the president of our beloved country,
because the portend changes in the
policy OF the government that cannot
but inure to the benefit of all. These
communications are letter from
myself to the president, but it may
be that in the excitement ofreceiving
the same, the relaxation which is to
follow the profferee relief, the ad-
ministration may not see fit to make
the whole public, and herewith ap-
pend copy.
/ would not have acted thus at this
critical time in the history of our
state, had those soon TO be elevated
to positions of power and responsible
ity shown more consideration for me
and greater desire to be guided and
aided by me. But, new, that oppor-
tunity is gone for them, as / feel pos
itive that ere this letter reaches your
readers l shall have been summoned
to Washington to assume the grave
responsibilities which 1 have volun-
tarily offered to assume. Here fol-
lows text of the letter, and from its
tone you will readily note that the
call may come at moments notice:
LETTER TO PRESIDENT WILSON.
MY DEAR WooDBow:
In view of the fact that you have
never had the pleasure, the extreme
good fortune, of meeting me person.
ally, although as you will undoubted- |
ly recollect l have many times written
you upon momentous matters of
state, you may infer that l am ad- |
dressing you with too great familiarity |
or too great condescension, in making |
use of your given name. But hasten
to assure you that it is neither con-
descension nor desire to be familiar, |
but merely as one great man has |
right TO address another, meeting so
to speak on plane of genuine democ-
racy. Thus do concede your great |
ness by reason of the Office which you |
hold, at the same time asserting with |
due modesty my own greatness,
which is no less than yours although |
it may not have received the seal of
public acknowledgment.
There is vast distinction between
greatness and fame. / do not deny |
that | am entitled To the former
appellation. A mere accident has
given you fame. You must admit |
this: Had the Baltimore convention |
named Mr.. Clark, he would have been |
the great man, and you might have

change, although you certainly have ex
cuse enough for dischargirg Bryan, you
might like to know more about me
and my accomplishments. Time anCl
space forbid my entering into this
matter in detail. If you will detail
some underling to Milwaukee and
have him go over the old files of the
Sentinel, you will find several author
lied interviews with myself land
written by myself so that you may
rest assured as to their reliability
which will dispel any doubts you
have in mind as to my fitness for
the Office and the benefits you
would confer upon your country by
choosing me as your chief counsellor,
not to mention the permanent fame
that would attach to your name and
administration by so doing.
incidentally | might remark, for
fear your Investigator might over
look that particular interview, that
much of the success of the Taft adj
ministration was due to me. If you
will look around in the old letter
files in your Office, you will find tha
wrote your predecessor a letter on
an average of once every two weeks,
pointing out the course that he should
pursue. He never acknowledged
these letters, but that he was very
largely guided by what they con-
tanned / know, as in response
to che of them he sent Sunny
jim to our state in the interests
of harmony and later on used argu-
ments advanced by me in speech
made at Winona, which speech made
of him a popular idol. l have also
myself in smaller affairs.
l am one of the originators of the
idea which eliminated in the organi-
zation of the Eleventh Story League,
an organization which has proven of
great benefit to the country as a
whole and to many editors who were
relieved of pressing financial obliga-
tions and of the necessity of writing
any editorials of their own. The use
fulness Of this organization was some
what curtailed by a lack of enthus-
lasm on the part of those who started

maintain it. However / must point |
with pride to the successful manner
IN which this league, headed by N.Y.
self, has repressed and buried in obliv
ion that arch traitor of the republic
md of representative government,
Bob LaFollette, during the past
Twelve or more years.
Now, friend Woodrow, after read

hich has just
been issued by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association as a special
issue of the "Crusader" The review
is an attractive, paper-bound book of
ninety-six pages, profusely illustrated
from photographs representative of
the various lines of health activity in
Wisconsin, made possible by the pen
nies accruing annually from the sale
of'Red Cross Christmas Seals.
In these days when the sanatoria

of tuberculosis, the visiting nurses

hibits, window displays, and popular
literature giving in easy-to-read form,
facts about disease that every man,
women and child should know, are
recognized agenies in the states or
ganized fight for stronger, better in
dividuals and healthier communities,
it is difficult to realize that they have
sprung into being in Wisconsin within
the last decade.
Ten years ago there was no Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis association; there
were not tuberculosis santoria, no
open air schools, no visiting nurses,
no health lectures and exhibit; in
short, there were no organized agen-
cies in the state to combat consump-
tion. Each year the disease was
sweeping off a number of persons
equivalent to the population of towns
the size of Columbus, Delavan, Jeff
ferson, Reedsburg or Waupaca. This
calamity was repeated year after
year. No one, comparatively speak
ing, knew about it. No one, apparent
ly, cared about it. Even the best in
formed men and the ones most keenly
alive to the necessity Of an organized
effort to check the ravages of the
disease, had no way of knowing its
extent in the state through surveys
and statistics. They were yet to be
made and compiled.

MURDERED MAN FOUND OFF
ROAD NEAR WOODRUFF.
Empty and Torn Pockets Bear Mute
Evidence Of Crime Motive.

With his skull crushed by heavy
rock, the body of Frank Morrill,, a
woodsman, was found few rods from
the road leading from Woodruff to
Minocqua, Wednesday morning. Char
ley Headhyer, a Lac du Flambeau
Indian, noticing blood trail leading
from the road as he was walking to
Minocqua, followed it, and came up
on the body. The gruesome find was
made Wednesday morning.
Coroner Decanter, Sheriff AsmunG-
sen and District Attorney OMelia
were notified and went to Woodruff
in the afternoon.
AS near as can be learned, Morrill,,
who has lived in the vicinity of Wood
ruff for some years, was known to
carry large sums of money on his
person. Tuesday morning he left
Woodruff to walk to Minocqua and a
young man of Polish nationality was
seen following shortly afterwards.
Morrill, never reached Minocqua and
was not seen alive after leaving
| Woodruff.
The motive of the murder evident
| ly was robbery as secret pocket in
his clothes was ripped open and
empty, but SIG was found elsewhere
in his clothes which evidently had
been overlooked.
Morrill, was man about forty
years of age. His body was taken tc
Minocqna where it will be held for a
short time while the authorities are
seeking relatives.
A coroner's jury was impaneled
and in a verdict declares that the
victim met death at the hands of ar
unknown man.

murderer, but as yet have found nc

SKATING.

There has been good skating the
past two weeks on the wisconsin
river. 1t has not been safe only in
the sloughs and on the edges and not
in those places il the water was
swift. However, there has been no
accidents of any kind up to this time
and the boys and those generally, who
love to skate, have taken advantage
of the season of clean ice and ceen
out every day. We would caution
boys to be careful and contine their
skating to places where they know
it is perfectly safe.
