John A. Kellogg, in the 55th year OF
his age.
The walking match between May
Marshall and Chancey Cone of thirty
hours, proved to be a one sided affair,
Cone played out" before they had
walked six hours. Monday evening a
race of twenty miles took place be-
tween the lady pedestrian and Joseph
Meyer, foreman of this office, which
was close and exciting, and was won
by the latter.

the sharp edge of the AK striking him
upon the wrist of the left hand, sever

fingers which rendered them useless.
Mr.. Adams, man of large heart and
generous impulses, resolved to pre-

CITY COUNCIL

The adjourned session of the city
council met on Tuesday last, Mayor
II. E. Marquardt, presiding. 1t was
an interesting session, as matters of
vital Importance came up to be con-
sidered, among them the petition of
the Wisconsin Valley Electric COM
pany for a revision of it's franchise,
to enable it to extend it's street rail-
road north to st. Mary's hospital and
south on Third avenue to the factory
district. This was referred to the
comnittee~on streets and bridges. In
less it is acted upon favorably, it is
sure thing these extensions will not
be built.
The question of improving East hill
and Steuben street was taken up. For
the former it was voted to level it
UP and repair places for the present.
The latter, it was voted to have grad
ed, as we'll as East Jackson street.
A new system of accounting, as
recommended by the state tax COM
mission, was adopted. This will cover
all the departments of the city gov
ernment.
Several necessary sewer extensions
were voted, on which bids will be
called for as soon as possible.
Quite a discussion was had upon the
selection of the site of the bathing
beach, some being of the opinion that
the water there was contaminated by
the sewers further up the river.
Others did not believe this was so.
The city health officer thought the
water there was not polluted, but
said it would have been better to have
placed the beach above the sewers.
An ordinance establishing a "re-
creation fund" was adopted. This pro-
vides for a committee of three to look
after bathing beaches, skating rinks,
etc.
c. E. Turner, of the Wausau Box
& Lumber company, asked the coun-
Gil for better fire protection, and rec
omended the installing of centrifugal
pump at nominal cost. This with
other matters pertaining to better fire
pre- ;tion, was referred to the COM
mittee on fire.
The vote on bonding the city for
$175,OO0 for better school facilities
was canvassed by Aldermen Leak and
Morisette and the result was 69S for,
and 1,41S against the proposition.
The paving of Scott street between
Fourth and Fifth streets was let to

BLOOD POISONING

Until recently a big, strong man
has been employed as fireman by a
Milwaukee business concern which
has been more than commonly inter-
ested in the welfare of its employees.
The fireman isn't working any longer
and the reasons make very interest
ing history and one which should
prove generally instructive.
In the ordinary course of his en-
ployment this man scratched the back
of one of his fingers slightly. Every
employe had been instructed, under
such circumstances, to go at once to
one of the convenient first-aid-cab-
inets, cleanse the wound with alcohol
and Immediately apply tincture OF
iodine, which is part of the equip
ment. Instead of doing this the man
ignored the injury as being too trivial
to deserve any attention.
A few days later his hand became
red, hot, swollen, and painful. He
visited q physician who treated and
dressed the hand and told the patient
not to use it for a few days. Con-
trary to this advice, the man went
back to work, grew worse and after
a few more days died from general
blood poisoning.
Spurred on by this sad experience,
the company is now engaging a fac
tory nurse to give personal super
vision and to compel, if necessary
the cooperation of employees who are
careless not alone of their own lives
and limbs but of the company's inter
ests as well.

cattle have been and are being shipped
to Japan, Australia and other far away
parts of the world.
But my, how those trees on the
north side of the fair grounds have
grown! The Marathon county fair
grounds are undoubtedly the finest in
the state. And let me say the state
fair should be held at Wausau, and l
think in time it will be. When the
northern part of Wisconsin is more
fully developed, and cattle and sheep
shall Craze upon its thousand hills,
Wausau will be the place for the state
fair of the great dairy state of Wis
consin.
In conclusion, let me solemnly ad-
monish the officials of the Marathon
county fair to erect a higher fence on
the south side of the grounds.
could not help but grin to myself Fri
day, when l saw half dozen boys scale
that fence. l plead guilty to having
done the same thing many years ego.
Not in II, but later, after I had be-
come Americanized a little I wonder
if Gene Thayer, Bob Johnson, Bert
Gowen or any other Wausau boys Of
the long ago were ever so naughty.
But, boys, do you remember those
poplar trees that grew close up to the
fence? Did you ever climb up 'em,
so as to view the races in their shady
tops, and when thirsty have to drop
down on the other side of the fence
to refresh yourselves from the fair
grounds pump? c. N. JOHNSON

days after the return from the Austin

Not Dead Yet

To the citizens throughout the
county who honestly believe that
the plan to build a costly bridge
across the mouth of the NooksacK
at Marietta is waste of money
sorely needed for worthy proJects,
the following item is not without
interest:
"The board of county commission
ers have received copy of resolu-
tions adopted April 13 by the
board of trustees of the Chamber
of Commerce recommending the
building, if possible, of bridge
across the NOoksack river at Mar
ietta this year, to conform with the
petition as filed. BELL. Herald.
The Tribune several months ago
pointed out several things which,
IL its estimation, made the Marlet-
ia bridge plan unwise, and since
that time several other county pa
pers, and various organizations
have joined in the protest.
That the county commissioners
still have the matter in mind, is
indicated by the clipping above.
TEey might better give their at
tention to roads and bridges in the
F'erndale and Blaine neighborhoods
which need meldiDg and renovat-
lag badly.

The Sensible Way

From the Washington Standard
(Olympia)
The Lynden Tribune suggests that
If the sheriff had to take the ques-
ton of states rights into account
before he made an arrest, or the
prosecuting attorney had to eon-
slider the protective tariff before he
filed suit, or county commits
sioner had to ponder on the nation
al suffrage plank before voting on
the improvement of road, then
there might be some excuse for
clinging so lovingly to the ancient
system of party elections in our
county affairs. With weighty ques-
tons of policy for our officials to
decide, party responsibility would
be a desirable thing.
but so long as our county Off
Gals have nothing in the way of
grave national matters to worry
them" the Tribune adds, 80 long
as the worthy administration Of
their office depends on them alone
non-partisan election system
seems the logical thing"-and
that's the way 1t looks to us.
Let's have a blanket ballot in
our city and county affairs, bal
lot from which we can pick the
men we want, ballot that will
make the campaigns a question OF
the fitness of the men for the Jobs
they are after. not campaigns where
party counts for most. Let's
strengthen our political jndepend-
ence, our right to elect those we
think are the best men TO handle
