HUSTING HAS SCORED.

United States Senator But we didn't
know that his opportunity would be so
great, or that it would come so soon.
All honor to the Republican editors

in this State are The Wausau Record

Though kindly and we'll meant, the

Packing Plant Contract Let for

The contract is let for the erection
at Madison of the great packing plant
that is expected to solve one of the i'm
portant economic problems of this Sec
ton of Wisconsin. The contract was
awarded to the Mueller Construction
Go. of Chicago and the cost of the plant
when completed is to be 1925 900. The
company has given bond to have the
plant ready for operation early in rhe
fall. The work of excavation was be-
gun Tuesday. The site Of the plant is
on the line of the Chicago & St. Paul
railroad and contains twenty acres.
The principal buildings are to be the
main packing building 225x9O feet. four

feet and conveniently located. The
buildings are to be of the most improved

are to be outftted with the most mod

will be made to carry out the modern

THE WAY OF THE HIGH TARIFF
49, TAKERS.

One of the most amusing facts in
modern political history is that every
time the republican party gets run
down at the heel it trots out the dinner
pail claptrap and the soup house
twaddle and heat the tom tom of in
dustrial buffoonery. If times are pros
porous, as at present, they point pes
simistically down the corridors to the
time when things are sure to go to the
demnition bow vows beating their
plaintive tattoo the while on the up
turned bottom of an imaginary empty
dinner pail. If times are close as they
were along about the end Of the Taft
administration well you know how
they do it.-Madison Democrat.
Isn't it rather cruel for the Madison
Democrat to thus publish in advance
the campaign speeches of Malcolm
George Jefris, the Tory candidate for
United States senator? The job set be-
fore him by his backward looking ad
herents is to win another victory for
high tariff taxation. That was the bur-
den of all their speeches at Madison
last week. with never an outspOken
word upon the great new issues which
have arisen to confront the people of
these United States.

BUCK SAVES FAWN
FROM SWIFT RIVER
Latter Falls Behind In Swimming the
Columbia to Escape From,
Some Dogs.

Kettle Falls, Wash.-Ed Roper,
farmer living on the Ferry county side
of the Columbia river, saw three deer
driven to the Columbia river by dogs
and then forced to cross for safety the
other day. Roper had crossed to this
side of the river in a rowboat and
heard the barking Of the dogs near the
bank Of the river that he had left.
Three deer, buck, doe and fawn,
sought safety by swimming in the river
and were swimming toward this side
when Roper hid himself in order not to
brighten the deer back again.
The fawn fell behind the others and
appeared unequal to the battle with
the swift cold water, and Roper
thought it would surely drown, when
the buck, which had been in the lead,
turned back and assisted the fawn
until the bank Of the river was safely
reached. The three deer then stood still
and rested for some time.

FINDS BURIED GOLD.
Mrs. Grey Dug 1t Up, but Mrs. Judkins
Buried It. Is Belief

Chico, Cal.-Fifty dollars in gold, be-
lieved to have been buried more than
twenty-five years ago, was discovered
here recently by Mrs. John Grey, wife
Of a shoe merchant Of this city. while
digging in her yard. Mrs. Grey, while
seeking lily bulbs, turned up an old
can and found in it, wrapped up in the
remains of handkerchief, the gold.
More than twenty-five years ago a
family by the name Of Judkins occu
pied the home. Mrs. Judkins was
known to have buried money. several
packages having been found by her
husband following her death. 1t is be-
lieved that this money also was hidden
by her.
The can contained one 500 and three
$40 gold pieces. The can in which they
had been placed was rusty, and the
cloth which had been wound around
the coins was decayed and fell to pieces
when handled.

The editor of The Milwaukee Senti
mel realizes that maladroit and intern
perate attacks upon the president of
the United States, endears Woodrow
Wilson to the hearts of the American
people; that Senator Husting has cut
his political eye teeth; and that The New
York World is awake to it's opportun-
ity when it tells the Republicans that
they can rehabilitate themselves on a
basis of the highest and finest patriot
ism by indorsing the nomination Of
President Wilson. All of which goes
to show that the editor Of The Sentinel
is not lacking in discernment.

CLAIM TO HAVE FOUND
SCARLET fever GERM
Boston Psychologists Report Dis
covery of BaciI|us-NeW York
Physician SkeptiCaI.

Boston.-Dr. F. B. Mallory, patholo
gist of the Boston City hospital, and
his assistant, DR.. E. NJ. Medlar, have
discovered the bacillus that causes
scarlet fever, and it is believed it will
not be very difficult to work out an
antitoxii OF vaccine fCe it's prevention
and cure.
This important discovery is laconi-
cally described by DR.. Mallory and Dr.
Medlar in q thousand word article in
the current issue of the Journal of
Medical Research entitled The Ell
ology Of Scarlet Fever
1t is largely owing to the short life
of the actual germ that it has evaded
discovery so long. The germs are found
soon after the skin eruption appears
and usually find Judgment first in the
tonsils or at the root of the tongue.
The germ is less virulent than the
diphtheria bacillus, although it infects
practically the same localities. DR..
Mallory says it is a "grampositive ba
cilli."
"a vaccine for the disease would be
the more important" says DR.. Mallory,
$50 as to render nurses immune to the
disease. Scarlet fever is not conveyed,
as many suppose, from the scaling of
the patient. When that takes place
all the germs in the body are dead"
4 1t was said by New York physi-
clan that a number of doctors have
claimed the discovery. of the bacillus
of scarlet fever, but have failed to sub
stantiate their claims.
