CIRCULATION WAR STARTED BY
AMERICAN

A immature clrCulaClOn war WIFI
the Chicago American concerned was
staged at Halsted and VanBuren
street during the past few days, but
the American finally succumbed to a
newsboy and settled the war in his
favor today.
A Day Book reporter made an in
vestigation of the fight. He discov-
cred that the Chicago American had
been trying to make the owner of the
stands on those corners, Morris Ger
Der, 'eat" papers. Eating papers"
means loading a boy up with more
papers than he can use and then
making him pay for all of them.
Gerber tired of this. He fatty told
the American he wouldn't stand for
their tactics. So the American de-
cided to freeze him out.
Yesterday they sent gang of
huskies to the, corners to sell only
Americans. They refused to sell to
Gerber. The huskies came out in full
force ready for a revival of the old
war days.
The biggest American hustler
hustler walked over and placed his
own papers on Gerber's stand, with
the intention of selling them from
from there. They thought Gerber
wouldn't dare protest against the
American. But they reckoned only
with the boy.
In Just about two seconds after the
American husky had laid has papers
on the stand, new figure darted to-
ward him. The newcomer was young
and chunky, though small in height.
Into the midst of the American gang
he rushed. And then suddenly, while
the crowds looked on, he picked the
Americans from the stand and flung
them to the four winds. Then he
turned and faced the American hus-
hes.
''Now, put them there again." he
invited, calmly and firmly.

THE OLD WELL.

Can any one tell us why the old
we'll at the water works is being
cleaned out? Experts have told us
that the water taken from the well
contains so much iron that it causes
growth in our water mains, to the
extent'that continued use would make
our system useless.
The new wells, under the direction
of learned men, were sunk very deep
in order TO get away from the iron.
Enough wells were sunk, so these
learned men said, to supply several
cities the size of Wausau for all time,
and that the water, having a large
per cent.of iron, would not contribute
to the vegetable growth and our
pipes would be cleaned out. But
water consumers should be enlight-
ened as to what is going to be done
with the old well.
