ELECTRICAL ERA IN
RAILROADING DAWNS
40 Miles of the "Milwaukee's- Main
Line Over the Rockies
Electrified.

A new era in railroading dawns-
another milestone in the worlds prog
ress has been erected. The Chicago,
Milwaukee G. st. Paul Railway has
inaugurated this great epoch by ac-
complishing the longest extent of main
line electriication in the world,
through a region demanding the ut
most of energy and efficiency in loco
motives.
The electrified district is that of the
Great Continental Divide, extending
from Harlowton, Mont, to Avery,
Idaho, a distance of 440 miles-(15
miles from Three Forks to Deer Lodge,
Montana, now in operation)
The power used to operate the giant
electric locomotives is obtained from
mountain waterfalls. From the hydro
electric plant at Great Falls and from
other plants, the electricity is trans
mitted at the high tension of 100000
volts alternating current to IA sub
stations of the railway, and there is
stepped down and changed to 5000
volts direct, the current used by the
locomotives.
One of the scientific marvels is re-
generative braking, by which the train
on down grades, instead of consuming
electricity, actually produces it, and
by which at the same time the
speed of the train is kept under per-
feet control without using the air
brakes.
With electrifcatiOn has come, con-
servation of resources, more efficient
and economical operation, better main
tenance of schedules, the practical
elimination of all trouble due to snow
and cold, smoother riding, and en-
hanced comforts owing to freedom
from smoke, dirt and cinders.
Electrifcation added to it's other
advantages, makes the milwaukee"
more than ever the road of efficiency,
comfort and charm. Remember this
fact when planning your next trip to
the Pacific North Coast

CASE OF SMALL POX

Miss Theodore AXelberg, who is a
kindergarten teacher in our public
schools. was taken i'll the early part
of the past week with fever and head
ache. Later there were eruptions on
her body and physicians pronounced
it small pox. 1t was a very great sur
prise as there is no small pox in the
city, and this is the first case for some
time. Miss Axelberg is staying at the
home of Mrs. Alice r. Dickens, 213
Fulton street and the home has been
Quarantined. The school room was
thoroughly disinfected and for several
days was not in use. 1t is thought
the disease can be confined to the
one case. The patient is getting
along fully as well as can be expected.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT ON THE
MEXICAN SITUATION

EXPresident w. H. Taft was in Mil
waukee last week Friday to talk be-
fore the Ancient Order of Hibernians
While in that city he gave his idea
about the Mexican situation. He said
This country has the right under
international law to enter Mexico in
pursuit of the bandits, headed by Villa
because of the governmental condition
of this southern country, the govern
ment being incapable of preventing
outlawry. The situation at best, how
ever, is extremely delicate, because
in sending troops in pursuit of Villa
this country is doing exactly what
Villa wants us to do.
''It undoubtedly is Villas wish to
represent our punitive expedition as
the beginning of intervention, and the
longer we stay in Mexico the better
able he will be to appeal for sympa-
thiZers.
Our troops that have crossed the
border have no easy task before them
and it will probably be long time be-
fore their work is completed.
"Pershing and Funston are the two
most competent men to handle that
campaign. One of the best things they
have done thus far is to get ready be-
fore crossing the border.
"A campaign in Mexico will be most
difficult, more difficult, believe, than
the one in the Philippines. In Mexico
the United States troops have deserts
and mountains to contend with and
these mountains are well known to
Villa and his men,"
Prof. Taft stands by President Will
son in his Mexican policy.

MEMS CLUB OF THE
FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH

Last Thursday evening there was
meeting of the Mems club of the
First Universalist church in Cyrus
Yawkey hall. A supper was served
at $50 o'clock by the Ladies Aid So
ciety of the church and at it's con-
clusion Peter Hoffman of Chicago,
coroner of Cook county, H., gave an
excellent talk on Safety" The speak
er had come to Wausau to visit his old
time friend S. S. Dingee, and the lat
ter, knowing he was going to be here,
arranged to have him speak before
the club. He was introduced by J. n.
Manson, who gave brief summary of
his work in Chicago, chief of which
was that he had served Cook county
eleven years as coroner and had pre-
sided over more inquests, perhaps,
than any other man in the world. Mr.
Hoffman became on excellent terms
with his audience at the outset, by
relating several pertinent and amusing
incidents; he then took up his work
for the past eleven years in the great
city of Chicago, and in Cook county
He told of deaths occurring from in
stantaneous water heaters; how the
deadly gas killed many each year un-
til a law was finally passed which
made it necessary to connect all such
heaters to pipe leading to the out
side of the building, and now the
deaths from that source are very
few. He gave descriptions of deaths
from ammonia fumes, caused by care
lessness; from dynamite; from muir
derous thugs, and the many deaths of
infants in various ways, from drink
ing drugs, carelessly left where they
could be easily gotten, eating poison
from the ends of matches and from
the upsetting of hot water left on
tables and chairs. All of which was
very interesting and instructive, as he
told in each case how such things
could have been prevented and how
laws had been passed safeguarding
workmen and the public. Mr.. Hoffman
was the coroner in charge at the awful
Eastland disaster; the relation of this
terrible catastrophe; how over 500
bodies were raised and taken to many
places in the city and were subse-
quently brought into one large build
ing under his orders, so that they
could be identified, was heartrending.
He told of a society of leading citi-
zens which was formed during his time
for the purpose of promoting safety
and for the benefit of mankind in gen.
eral, and entered into the details of its
excellent work. Mr.. Hoffman had
compiled a pamphlet, telling what to
do in case of injury, poisoning, etc,
and how to prevent accidents. He
closed with an eloquent plea to work
for the benefit of humanity along the
lines of Safety"
Mr.. Hoffman, and Mr.. Dingee for
getting SO able a speaker here, were
given a rising vote of thanks. After
wards all adjourned to the parlors
where a pleasant hour was spent in
getting better acquainted with Mr.
Hoffman. 1t was a very pleasant and
entertaining evening. Mr.. Hoffman is
an unusually fluent speaker. While
in the city he was the guest Of Mr.
and Mrs. S. S. Dingee.

CHANGE IN BUSINESS

A deal was closed this week where
by the Mosinee Electric Supply COM
pany. which has been conducting an
electrical business here for a little
more than a year, was taken over by
Johnson's Electric Shop, which oper-
ates businesses of this character in
Wausau, Marshfield and Neilsville. The
transfer was made Tuesday, and the
business is now in charge of Mr.. c. l.
Rifleman, of Wausau. Mr.. Johnson
has done a great deal of work for
Mosinee people in the past and needs
no introduction here. We understand
il is the intention of the new proprie-
tors to enlarge the scope of the bust
ness nsiderable.-Mosine Times.

THE TIN CAN

Who would have thought that the
tin can is a menace to the public
health? The expert malaria investi-
gators of the L. S. Public Health Ser
vice have found however, that dis
carded tin cans containing rain water
are breeding places for the mosquito
which is the sole agent in spreading
malaria. A hole in the bottom of the
empty can might have resulted in the
saving of a human life. Certainly
it would have assisted in preventing
a debilitating illness. Empty tin cans
have no business about the premises
anyway, but if we must so decorate
our back yards, let's see to it that the
can has a hole in the bottom.
