FAIR PROMISES FEATURES
Auto Exhibits, Band Concerts, and
Night Fair are Sure Attractions
Indications Are For Good Races.

The Marathon county fair, August
% to 81, inclusive. promises this year
to be one of the biggest and most sue
cessful that has been held in many
years. Every effort is being made by
the committees and men in charge to
make it real attraction.
A big automobile exhibit gives
promise of being even larger and more
representative than the annual win
ter exhibit. A large tent will be fur
nished by the Agricultural society and
this will doubtless be filled with mod
els of the latest type. Enclosed cars
will prove feature of the exhibit.
]. d. Christie, already having
booked four good free attractions, has
just succeeded in securing another in
Ducharme, the little strong man of
the world, who weighs 14O pounds,
but whose strength, if reports are true
is remarkable. Among his feats, is
one in which he lets a 5000 pound au-
to run over him.
Band concerts before the races each
afternoon, for a full hour, will prove
a most pleasant diversion for after
dinner crowds and those who arrive
at the grounds bit before the races
as is the custom. Dana's band will
furnish the music. A bund concert may
be given on next Tuesday evening,
though this is not certain.
Entries for the races at the fair
have already closed. From the num-
Der which have entered it is expect
ed that the races will be excellent. The
running race is the only one which has
few entered, but since entrance to this
is not closed before the evening pre-
vious to the race it is felt that there
may be more by that time.
Dr. G. A. Mills is again superintend-
ent of speed for the Marathon county
fair races,

RETURN OF JUDGE A. II. REID

Judge A. H. Reid arrived home Sat
urday night from trip with his fam
lily, to Alaska. Mrs. Reid and Miss
Jeanette, stopped at Atchison, Kas.,
Wausau the latter part of the week.
The Judge reports a delightful trip
and the weather a choice article of
sunshine, with just enough rain to
lay the dust and make travelling a
pleasure. They went over the Can
adam Pacific to Vancouver and Seat
tie and from there up into Alaska.
They visited the various coast cities
of that far off country of the north,
enjoying the scenery and it's people,
and wondering at the climatic condi-
tions where one would naturally ex-
pect a temperature of fifty or sixty
below in the winter months; that
there is not sufficient frost in the
coast cities during the year to freezs
water mains and service pipes which
are laid upon the surface, being due
to the warm Japan ocean currents,
which flow along the coast. They
climbed mountains and glaciers and
gazed upon panoramas of beauty eX-
celled by no country on the face of
the earth. One delightful feature of
their trip up the channel to Alaska,
was the fact that their boat stopped
several hours at the various towns
and important places along the route
giving passengers an opportunity to
see the sights, so it was one continu-
GUS and varied round of pleasure and
it filled all with a desire to go further
into this wonderful country. AS it
was they took in the country about
Juneau, Sitka and Skagway and were
up on the White Pass, Of which so
much was said during the great rush
of our people to the Klondike, some
twenty years ago, in search of gold.
| The account of their trip over the
| AuA DIS IL
up, over and around mountains, and
in its windings one could see at great
heights above, train running along
looking about like a fly on a steeple
was enough to give one the shivers, and
the Judge admitted that his hair stood
up, like quilts on "fretful porcupine'
when he looked down the mountain
sides thousands of feet below.
The crops, generally, looked excel
lent, but in Dakota and Canada, they
were not so promising.
The Judge looks as rugged and
bronZed as if he had been in a U. S
training camp and he is as pleased
to get back upon his native heath as
We are all delighted to have him.

TAUGHER IN MAINE CAMP

Claude Taugher, formerly of the
Wausau High school, and who has
been attending Carroll college, Wauk-
esha, Wisconsin, returned home the
middle part of last week from Guam
tico, Va, where he has been in train
ing for the marine corps. Mr.. Taugher
was football star in the Wausau High
and also on the Carroll college team
and has been one of the lucky few
who have been able to secure admit
tance to the marine division of the
service. The group with which Mr.
Taugher, has been stationed has been
in training in Siuth Carolina, but
was recently transferred to Quantico
within thirty miles of Washington
ID. C%
Mr.. Taugher is very much pleased
with the marine service. He is en-
joying his work, though it is siren
uous, and believes there is no equal
to the life the marine leads. His
furlough calls for a return to Quanti-
co this week after which he expects
another month of training before 60
ing to Europe. The marines in his
group confidently expect to be either
in France of Russia by the middle oi
September, either on guard duty or in
the trenches. They expect four
months behind the lines.
Claude Taugher is a son of DR.. P
J. Taugher of this city, and formerl,
a Marathon physician.

BEAR KILLED WITH Ak
AFTER AWFUL BATTLE

How he fought with an enraged
mother bear in the woods near Allen
Junction, fifty miles from Duluth, was
told by Hans Bergson, Dane home
Steader, who lies near death in his
cabin as a result of the fight.
Bergson tells that he was out cut
ting brush, when he noticed the bear
with two cubs near the barn. When
the bear saw him rushing back into
his log hut for gun, it cut of the
retreat.
Finding it impossible to pass the
animal, Bergson made dash for his
AK. Then began a fight-the bears
feet against the ak. Finally Bergson
drove the SIX into the bears skull and
killed il.
He dragged himself to his house,
where a friend found him. Ribs are
torn from the back bone; a cash in
his neck and body are testimony OF
/ the fight.

ORGANIZE STATE TO AID
TUBERCULOSIS REJECTS
Other Cities Urged to Join Milwaukee
in Cooperation With Army Exemp-
ton Boards Discover Early Cases.

Local branches of the Red Cross
and of the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis association in all parts of the
state are being asked to cooperate
with local health officers in organic
ing each community of the state foI
active participation in the campaign
emption boards as an effective weapon
against the spread of tuberculosis
among the civilian population. The
purpose is to have in every community
as far as possible, an organization
similar to the one recently perfected
in Milwaukee by which men exempted
from military service because OF
physical unfitness will be given the
benefit of a further and more thor
Iough medical examination, if there is
the faintest suspicion of tuberculosis
and of follow-up care in case a dag
nosis of tuberculosis is made.
1t is pointed out that in Milwaukee
as well as in other cities of the state
many of the young mel; who have
been rejected by the exemption boards
because of incipient tuberculosis, had
no suspicion that they were afflicted
with the disease prior to their exam
ination by the military medical Off
Ger. Inasmuch as the cure of the dis
ease depends in large measure on its
early discovery and treatment, these
young men have a far better chance
of checking the disease than if it
had been allowed to run its course
until its ravages compelled them to
seek medical advice
In addition to the active cases of
tuberculosis discovered by the exam
ming officer, there are a large num-
ber of suspected and border line cases
which ought to have more thorough
examination than the demands upon
his time will permit. Under the plan
suggested by the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis association, each comInuni-
ty is asked to secure the volunteer
services of a committee of competent
physicians to whom the exemption
board examiner can refer such cases.
The examining boards are also re-
quested to retain records of all &C
tive and suspected cases of tubercu-
losis-s
AS the third step in the campaign,
it is suggested that each case dis
covered be followed up by the local
organization in an effort to secure
proper care for the patient and to in
struct him so that he will not trans
NIT the. disease to others. To this
end it is recommended that local COM
mittees be formed consisting of promi-
nent city and county officials, active
officers of commercial clubs, women S
clubs, strong civic associations, city
and county superintendent of schools
and prominent business men and ply
sicians.

BRIDGE BONDS APPROVED
Light Vote Signifies Satisfaction Over
Necessary Falls Bridge Recon-
structiOn Bonds to Be Issued
Soon,

The proposed concrete, steel re-en-
forced bridge across the Wisconsin
river over Big Bull falls was approved
in light vote last Wednesday by a
vote of almost two to one Many in
terested citizens failed to go to the
polls because they felt the measure
would be carried anyway and conse-
quently not more than a fourth of
Wausau's voters cast their ballot. The
vote was 551 for, and 2S7 against.
The sum of $4,000 will be secured
by issuing bonds for a bridge fund
from which the. falls bridge will be
constructed Immediately. The board
of public works of this city, has been
authorized by an adopted resolution
to advertise for bids Immediately. This
will probably be within a few days.
The present structure over the falls,
besides having been condemned, is far
from adequate to accommodate the
traffic to and from the west and east
sides of the river which year by year
are developing more in common from
the industrial view. The street car
track on the present bridge lessons
the space for vehicles on the bridge.
The bridge is an absolute necessity.
The common council to be in session
on September 4, will determine the
length of time for which the bonds
are to run, the rate of interest to
be paid, and the bonds will then be
placed on the market.
The new bridge over Big Bull falls
will mean more of a unification for
all parts of the city. 1t will mean
greater development and will facil-
itate transportation from one side of
the city to the other.

ANOTHER GREAT MOUNTAIN
RANGE CONQUERER BY
ELECTRICITY

The mighty Rockies, the Belt and
the Bitter Roots have bowed their
heads before the onward progress OF
man-and the worlds commerce and
travel more uninterruptedly across
their rugged slopes transported by
the forces of the mountains them
selves. Giant electric locomotives
whose only fuel is the limitless power
generated from mountain cataracts
lift the great all-steel trains of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
way across the ramparts of the Great
Continental Divide as If grades die
not exist.
And now another great mountain
range, the snow-capped Cascades in
Washington, is being made to yield its
needs of man. Soon the bark of the
steam locomotive will be stilled there
for the work of electrifying the 211
miles of main line through this range
| is well under way. When this sec,
tion is completed the milwaukee" will
have 651 miles of its main transconti
mental line under electrical operation
Mountain travel is given a new
charm-no smudge of smoke paint:
its dirty line across snow-clad vistas-
travel is easy, smooth, silent, ant
clean.
When next you journey to the Pa
cific North Coast take either of those
famous trains, "The Olympian" ol
The Columbian" over the trans
mountain electric highways of tht
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail
way.
Interesting travel literature and full
information concerning this momen
tous electrical achievement may b.
had from the local agent of this rail
way.

It Not Only Kills Peace of Mind, but
Is 4 Menace to Health.
The protective instinct is present in
the human mind and when properly di-
rected is great source of prosperity
both to the individual and the nation.
In order for man to store up and lay
by, to gain advancement either in hon
or or material things. il Is necessary
that he take some forcthought of the
this beyond the normal point the men
tai process becomes an .exagscral ted
and abnormal on'A
The normal Protective instinct is
stimulated by normal fear OF those
events which are reasonably sure to
happen in. the future unless means are
adopted against them. The moment
that this fear becomes abnormal or en-
aggcrated it overstimulates this pro-
tective instinct, and to no good rur-
pose, because it results in worry. This
worry continues long after the neces-
sity for the normal stimulus OF fear
has passed, with the result that there
is an impairment in mental power and
dissipation Of the nervous forces. In
fact, worry is an abnormal state.
Not all worry Is preveEtable. but for
the most part it can be avoided. Most
of our fears are never realized. and. as
q rule, il we meet our troubles day by
day as they come without worrying
about them before they arrive or fret
ting over them after they have passed
we will find that We have the strength
to rise above them. Worry undermines
the health to, a certain extent, and
every victim OF the worry. habit owes
it to himself to crush it out OF his life.
