ANNUAL REPORT


]. H. Pomeroy, city sealer of weights
and measures, has made his annual
report to the city which shows that
he is a very busy man, in fact, it
would be hard to find more painstak-
ing officer During the year he has
made 1887 tests, including 3,493
scales, weights, measures, ETC., and
S94 tryouts Of articles in process of
delivery. OF the devices tested 255
were condemned. He measured 1872
loads of wood, measuring 280,SS5 cubic
feet, or 2,194 cords. Mr.. Pomeroy is
a firm believer that all wood sold
be measured; that it should be sold
by the cord and not by theload, and
it is possible that the legislature will
pass a law making it obligatory to
sell wood by the cord rather than
by the load. He has been informed
that several new bills are to be pre-
sented this winter which, if passed,
will cause eggs and bananas to be
sold by weight, and also standardiz-
ing the weight of loaf of bread.

An inter-county cattle contest was
proposed by Mr.. Duncan as feature
of our next state fair and he suggest
ed that an effort be made to bring
this about at the next meeting of the
state fair board and in any event for
Marathon county to send an exhibit of
its own.
Marathon county is to be congratu-
lated on having had such splendid of
ficers and board of directors to direct
its agricultural society in the past,
and during the past few years the an
nual fairs with their night attractions
have been a source of great pleasure
20 the people of our county. generally,
and the excellent exhibits of farm
produce and blooded stock has proven
wonderful stimulus to our agricul-
tural interests. We all know that with
the old officers-Secretary Christie,
Treasurer Zimmerman, and Mills. as
Supt. of Speed, and the board of di-
rectors, and with such good selec-
ton as NJ. H. Duncan as president, the
good work viii continue.
The appropriation asked from the
county board should be granted, as
this outlay will be returned to our
county in various ways, many fold.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT

Leo Johnson, aged seventeen, liv-
Mae Johnson, at 733 South Third
avenue, met with a heart-rending ac-
dent Wednesday morning which re-
suited in his death the next morning
at the General hospital. 1t appears
the boy had been up reading until
about six o'clock in the morning, his
mother being asleep in an adjoining
room, when he accidentally tipped over
a lighted kerosene lamp which ex-
ploded and set fire to his clothing. In
attempting to make his exit from the
room by a dooray he failed and
jumped through a window. He then
ran some distance and threw him
self into a snow drift. A neighbor ran
to the boys assistance and smothered
the fire. The fire department arrived
upon call and extinguished the flames
in the home. The boy was taken to
the hospital for treatment, where it
was discovered that his chest, abdo-
men, back, neck, face, arms and legs
were most seriously burned, dying at
11:45 o'clock Thursday morning. His
mother survives him and is over
whelmed with grief over the sad loss
of her son.
Funeral services were held at St.
James church at nine o'clock Fri
day morning, Rev. Father Brennan, as
sisted by visiting priest, conducting
the services. Interment was made in
st. Joseph's cemetery.

COUNTY BOARD
Adjourned Meeting Takes Up the Last
Four Days of the Week.

The adjourned meeting of the county
board convened in this city on We'd
nesday at 10 o'clock a. m. The bills
were parcelled out to the various
committees and reports from the vari-
Gus county officers were put in shape
to place before the board the follow
ing day.
The first real business taken up
was to give the committees on public
property full authority to purchase
the furniture for the county sanatori-
nm, which is nearing completion. The
furniture will be here to go into the
building as soon as it is finished.
The matter of what is known as The
trunk line system was talked over; /;
the committees had laid out trunk
lines to be known, viz: Trunk line
No. 1, the Colby-W -Birnamwood
road. No. 2, Stevens-Point-W -Wausau-
Merrill road. No. 8, AthensWau-
sau- -Elderon road. No. 4, Marshfield-
Mosinee-Antigo road. No. 5, Yellow
stone Trail road. No. 6, Stratford
road.
The committees asked for a tax of
liz mills on the taxable property of
the county to carry on the work, which
would give road and bridge fund
of SGT, 7,55100 The towns would not
raise money for this fund but will
build connecting roads to the trunk
lines. The plan is not to go into ell
feet until 1918, if adopted.
F. A. Mangel of the State Highway
Commission, addressed the board on
the question.
1t was voted to appoint committee
of three to draft an amendment to
the present state game law. Messrs.
Christie, Plowman and A. L. Brekke
were appointed
The Dist. Atty. was instructed to
make Investigations of all claims made
by the blind.
During the afternoon meeting Supt.
Giessel also presented his annual re-
port. He showed that the expense of
the county schools for the year was
S243, ,59S7T; that the work of the year
required 267 teachers, 25 of which
were men and 242, women. The re-
port was an excellent one.
The annual reports of the various
county officers and of the committees
were read and adopted.
1t was voted to ask the legislature
for more stringent laws against the
importation of noxious weeds. AS it
is now, the seeds of these weeds are
spread to every part of our county.
Another matter to be looked after in
the legislature is the "one buck" law
and the conservation of game gener-
ally.
1t was voted to give a bounty of 8
cents on English sparrows killed in
the county.
DR.. Ladwig was reelected as coun-
ty physician.
The board adjourned Saturday morn
ing.

support. He recommended new
stock barn similar to the one in Wood
county at Marshfield, which can be
used for many purposes. He urged
that the old barns be torn down and
one large barn as suggested be built.
He pointed out the fact that the build
ings were becoming worse for wear
repair He had hoped when he took
the presidency of the society, to be
able to build adequate buildings out
of the receipts, but that the weather
had not been as favorable as could
have been desired and the result was
not sufficient funds.
MIR Wilson recommended that the
county board make an appropriation
to the society for needed improve
ments and that it send over a COM

CITY COUNCIL

The regular meeting of the city
the holidays having pushed the meet
ing over for day, from Tuesday to
/ Wednesday. The water question was
up for discussion. Judge Reid ap-
peared before the council and urged that
the report of the Chicago engineers as
secured by the Rotary Stub be sub
mitted to the state railroad commits
sion for its investigation and after
their report, which would be very
thorough, the city council could act
with better knowledge upon the
question. What was wanted was a
system that was right and that would
give us a supply of pure water and
voted to submit the report to the
R. R. Commission.
Several petitions were read and re-
ferred such as paying taxes for those
unable to do so and to make extern
sions in the water mains.
In the matter of fire trucks Mayor
Marquardt, Chief Zielsdorf, Ed. Single
and F. ]. Gaetzman were appointed
committee to go to Chicago, Min
neapolis and other cities to inspect
fire trucks. They departed for Chi
cabo Wednesday evening.
The mayor urged the appointment
of meat inspector to protect the
public; that under the present system
it was an easy matter for one dis
posed to do so to sell diseased meat.
The street and bridge committee
recommended the granting of the petit
tion to open Plumer street across
the c. M. & st. Paul Ry. tracks. Upon
talks by H, H. Ober, Supt. of the Wis.
division of the st. Paul, and F. w.
Genrich, the recommendation was
voted down. Both gentlemen gave it
as their opinion that the opening of
the street in the manner. proposed
would be very dangerous.
The council selected Matt Kust to
succeed Anton Mathisson as alderman
of the sixth ward Mr.. Mathisson
resigned on account of his leaving
the city.
The communication with reference
to the cars of the street railway being
operated by one man, ETC., was re-
ferred to the city attorney.
The old Riverside hotel and outer
buildings on the lots at the corner
Of First and Jackson streets, were
ordered sold and the board of public
works, instructed to advertise for
bids for their disposal.
Reports were submitted by the
Federated Charities, Supt. of Poor,
Comptroller and Dr. w. E. Zilisch,
Health Commissioner. The latter re-
ported 172 deaths; % cases of scarlet
fever; infantile paralysis: 8 spinal
meningitis; % typhoid fever; 10
diphtheria and of small pox. DR..
zillisch also stated that there are
three medical inspectors and one
school nurse and each school in the

Francisco, CAL, where they have been
for nearly year past. They were
met in Chicago by Mr.. Haseltine, and
are now occupying their new house,
on corner of Fifth and Grant streets.
We arc sorry to lose Emmett Barden,
who has been yard master in this city

years, but he has been promoted and
will now be on the road about all
the time. He has gained the friend
ship of all he has come in contact
with since living here He will be
succeeded by Dayton Adams.
We never suspected that H. Cline
was man who would get in a rage
and swear blue streak strong
enough to raise the roof" and we do
not suspect it yet, but if you will pass
down Main street you will see that
the roof of his house has been raised
about eight feet, changing his former
neat little cottage into stately two
story house.
In every direction Friday and Satur-
day, great volumes of smoke could be
seen rising heavenward from the
woods, indicating that fires which are
so dreaded at this time of the year.
on account of the dryness
starting and gaining headway. On
the hill on the west side, Friday af-
ternoon, the fire spread over consider
able territory and shut off travel en-
tirely from the country in that direc-
tion. On Saturday afternoon rain set
in' which kept up until last evening,
proving Godsend, - effectually
quenching all fires in the woods.
