Several complaints have been lodg- ed in the Nugget office with reference to the fact that two dogs who are alive with mango are allowed to run loose in the city, thus spreading this most courageous of diseases among the dogs of the town. One of these is a bird dog whose owner lives on Third avenue. She is literally GOV cred with this infection and despite the repeated requests of many resi- dents nothing has been done. Tae poor animal is allowed to rustic and scratch as best she can. It is not justice to let dogs infected in this manner to roam around the streets. Something shoaId be done.

On Thursday night next at 9 q. m. in the lecture room of the Federated church Dr. Neuman will deliver lec- ture on Health and Hygiene to the Federated Booster Boys of Nome. This organization is composed of some eighteen or twenty boys between the ages of ten and fifteen years who recognize as their superintndent MT. R. B. Julian-who for years was a boy scout master In Seattle
 One week later Walter Shields will give the boys talk on Books and a short time after that Judge J R. Tucker will deliver lecture on "Citi- zenship'
 There is no question about it but that this organization is one of merit. However it should be strictly non-sec- tartan, when its membership would considerably increase. It is for the promotion of manliness among our boys and does not interfere with their religious principles in any way.

Henry Kern had narrow escape from serious injury-and probably death-this noon when a high power rife bullet came crashing through the window of the Nome brewery and struck theiron upright of largesyphon he had in front of him. Had the iron stem of this machine not diverted the bullet 1t would nave gone through his body. Portion of the window glass struck him on the arm and caused a painful injury.
 Kern rushed from the brewery and saw two men over across Dry creek with guns. They acknowledged they had shot off rife in the direction of the brewery-shooting at duck. The bullet ricochetted from the water with the result above stated. The men ex- pressed their regrets and with profuse apologies departed.
 This practice should be discontin- .ued and those who want to have a little fun with fire arms should get we'll outside of the city limits and take care to fire In some direction where there are no dwelling houses. There is a city ordinance which cov- CTS this offence. It is mighty ex- pensive as we'll as highly dangerous practice.

THE TOWN LINE ROAD IMPROVE.
MENT

The concrete street on the Town
Line road is progressing finely; Carl
Lotz, the contractor, is doing fine
piece of work and as is his usual GUS
tom, is rushing things as fast as men
and teams can do it. The street is be-
ing paved with concrete from Grand
avenue east to the railroad track, and
is now about completed. 1t has worked
transformation such as one can
hardly realize. Before it was a sandy
waste over which there was a heavy
traffic which cut up the street until
it was hardly passable; great clouds
of dust raised with every gust of wind; /;
now, what a change; all beautifully
curbed with wide 0oulevards, and a
street which will not be excelled by
any in the city. When those who
reside along the same plant their elm
trees and get in the beds of flowers
and shrubbery it will be a street of
beauty rather than a sandy waste. 1t
will also prove great incentive for
other property owners to see that
their streets are improved. Such i'm
provementS as this are making our
city presentable. promoting its growth
and a most desirable place in which to
live. 1t will take fully a month for
the cement to dry and harden, so ii
will be about October 1st before the
street is open to the public.

SCOTT STREET BRIDGE
COrrOsiOn Has Done Much to Weaken

ing Badly Needed.

AS work progresses on the high
bridge on Scott street, all realize how
timely it was that the work, began
when it did. Our city engineer, B. C.
Gowen, felt that in order to preserve
the bridge and to lengtheen it's use
fulness, something should be done at
once. An inspection convinced that
the bridge was very much weakened
by corrosion and needed strengthen
ing at various points. He was abso-
lutely right in the premises as the re-
moval of the road bed showed bad
condition.
The Pilot reporter was shown a
sample of the corrosion which had
taken place; it consisted of pieces
from six to eighteen inches long and
one-half inch wide, which. had been
picked off the iron work, where it
came in contact with wood. This has
necessitateo the Strengthening of the
angle irons and reinforcement of the
floor bed by removing parts of badly
corroded iron.
The work has demonstrated that the
work OF strengthening the iron work
of the bridge had not been commenced
any too soon. The lower part of the
iron work of the bridge, Engineer
Gowen says, is in very good order,
and with proper attention, will be
about as good as ever.
The work is progressing rapidly and
the bridge will be re-opened to the
traffic in a short time.

ELECTRICITY'S LATEST ACHIEVE.
MENT-CLEAN, SMOOTH TRANS
MOUNTAIN TRAVEL

Through the medium of a kite string
came mans mightiest servitor.
Through it's forces, time and space
have been, obliterated. Whispers car
ry across the continent-night is
turned into day - messages flash
through the air.
And now again through the enter
prise of man, electricity has been
given new, and perhaps greater,
work. That the nations commerce
may move swiftly, surely across the
mountains-that travel may be
smooth, clean, thoroughly enjoyable
the mighty spark has been won
from mountain cataracts to electrify
a great railway.
On the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway for 440 miles through
the Belt, Rocky Bitter Root noun
tains, steam has given place to cleo
tricity. Trains are moved with con-
summate ease across the mile-high
ramparts of the Continental Divide.
And so successful has been the op-
Grafton of these electrified divisions
that the railway is now electrifying
the 211 miles of main line through the
snow-capped Cascades, Washington.
When next you journey to Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and other
cities in the Pacific Northwest take
either of those famous trains, 1The
Olympianc or "The COlumbian,. and
enjoy the delights OF electric travel,

LIEDERKRANZ ENTERTAINS
AT ORCHARD PAVILION

The Wausau LiederkranZ spent a
most pleasant afternoon at the South
Side Orchard pavilion Sunday and en-
tertained large number of their Mar
athon friends with their splendid Ger
man songs.
Regardless of present day condi-
tions and extravagances, itwould per-
haps be difficult to find any real edu-
Gator and unbiased admirer of music
who would try to deny Germany's
high rank among the nations in the
field of music. And this is especially
true in regard to song. Not wishing
to belittle other nations in this re-
spect, who that has any knowledge
and education, does not know and is
not willing to admit that Germany
has a literature of song, especially
in what is termed folk song e(Volks-
lied) that stands unequalled and un-
excelled.
And it was with such songs, inter-
spersed with few jolly songs of
the "Commers" type, and a few solo
humoresques by the famous Wausau
bass of the Liederkranz, B. H. Riebe,
that the large audience at the beauti-
full orchard park was entertained by
the Wausau visitors Sunday after
noon. A few of the members of the
former Marathon singing society,
among whom we noticed the old vet
eran R. Busse, P. w. Fochs, Fred Leis-
niger and others, were present and
most heartily applauded the singers.
Genuine German conviviality tee

Iternoon and it was with genuine re-
gret that we saw the good old Wau-
sau boys leave for home in the early
evening. Marathon Times.

A GOOD SHOWING

W. G. Bissell, president of the Wis
consin Advancement association, has
been touring Wisconsin and says:
Upper Wisconsin is harvesting the
finest crops of small grains in it's
history. The state has demonstrated
its ability and adaptability to do its
part and do it well. Corn is about
two weeks behind normal, but the
present warm weather is pushing it
forward by leaps and bounds and if
frost holds off for another thirty
days there will be an abundant corn
harvest. The acreage in potatoes has
been wonderfully increased and the
indications are that the yield will be
enormous. The one thing above all
others that was surprising to me was
the increased acreage of wheat To
again look upon the splendid wheat
fields that promise a yield of from
rs to 80 bushels per acre, was an in
spiration to a man who has a dis
tant recollection of the wheat that
was raised here in the early 70's.
Government figures on Wisconsin's
production this year will tell a tale
of prosperity that will be staggering" I"

WAUSAU BABY TALK

Largely upon the iniative of Mrs.
G. d. Jones and group of associated
ladies from the women's clubs, the
city of Wausau has set out upon an
ambitious plan to make itself a cor
dial host for newborn infants. Dur
ing eleven weeks of this summer an
experiment has been conducted which
should prove suggestive not alone to
the people of Wausau but to those
of other Wisconsin communities as
well.
The fundamental idea is that par
ents do not know their babies as we'll
as they should and that they ought
to get together and learn more about
them. Without any big noise or ad-
vertising, but at regular intervals,
the mothers have been getting togeth-
er in neighborly groups and talking
babies and listening to informal dis
cussion by local physicians who con-
tributed their time gratis to the COM
munity enterprise.
At the first visit. the babies were ex-
amined and weighed. When found TO
be normal they were again weighed
and looked ever at each subsequent
visit TO Ualle sure that they were
keeping we'll. Little disorders were
corrected before they became big. This
simple method is practically all there
is TO successful baby culture. Get
the baby in right condition, then keep
him so. 1t is not a difficult task as
rule, but it does call for constant
watchfulnesS.
A visiting nurse from the staff OF
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
sOciation was engaged to take charge
| of the details of organization and to
visit in the homes of the babies. The
meetings were made attractive by the
serving of refreshments and the oc.
easional introduction of other forms
OF social entertainment attractive tC
the feminine soul.
There is a splendidly persistent
spirit behind this community enter
prise of Wausau. The supporters rea
lize that their work is not done bu
only fairly begun. They realize tha
1t isn't waking town up that make:
II safe for babies but keeping i
awake.
Among future measures being con
sidered are: Little Mothers clubs fol
Instruction of Girls: permanent bab,
stations; the whole time employment
of visiting nurse specializing in thi
work; extension of work TO neighbor
ing villages and rural districts and es
tabiishment of supply OF certifie,
baby-feeding milk.

None of the old inhabitants or nor
thern Wisconsin will fail to recog-
nize the name which heads this ar
ticle. Though age and sickness have
compelled him, for number of years,
to give up his chosen vocation, yet
his brilliant career as "a writer and
newspaper manager of over forty
years, endears him to the memory of
the people. In 1887, Mr.. Chubbuck
printed the first number of the Mil
waukee Seminal, and for many years
made that city his home, after which,
Madison was the scene of his journal
istic labors. In. 1854, he assisted Mr..
Ellis in the publication Of the Stevens
Point Pinery and in 1857, when Wau-
sau was in her infancy, came here,
purchased a printing Office at Jeffer-
son, Wis, which he transferred to this
city, by wagons as far as Fox Lake,
and on sleighs the balance OF the way,
and started the Central Wisconsin. He
conducted that paper for nearly seven
years, making it second to none in the
state in point of editorial ability, az
ter which he sold out to Messrs, Hoff-
man & Hoefiinger His ready pen vas
not allowed to rest but each, week, for
years, one or the other of the papers
of the city contained something from
him to amuSe and instruct our citi-
zens. Mr.. Chubbuck has the files of
the Central of the first two years of
its eXistence-1S67-S, and We'll wager
there will be nothing quite as inter
esting to an old inhabitant as to sit
down and glance them over. We paid
the venerable editor, now over 70I
years of age, a visit last Thursday, at
ulo hOIuCs COI uCl Ol hdlu anu hN1nOOC
streets, and found him in better spir
it's and health than was expected. Four
years ago he received a paralytic
stroke which affected his left side, and
shortly after fell and injured his hip,
which makes it impossible for him to
get about without assistance, notwith-
standing all this, he courts cheerful
ness.
