BETTER WATER.
City Council Takes an Important Step
at Last Night's Hoe ting.
The water commission last evening
presented plans and specifications for
several improvements at the city
pumping station which were adopted
and authorized to be carried out.
The improvements, it is believed, will
result in restoring to the people of
this city a supply of drinkable and
smellable water, such as we have not
had since the intake pipe to the large
well was laid.
The plans call for ten additional
drive wells. It is believed that these
with the thirty other drive wells
will give the city a sufficient supply
of water without resorting to the old
well. The water from these wells,
too, will eventually clear all the pipes
of the frog pond growth which had
been accumulating in them for years.
The improvements also call for new
boilers, which will give the plant a
600 horse power capacity. Also pro
vision is made for suction lines ard
heads and an addition to the build
ing. There will be room left on the
grounds for valves and blind heads
for additional wells and pumps, should
they be needed.
These improvements, it is estimated,
will necessitate an outlay of about
$26,000. This is considered cheap.
Before Mr. Lusk, the consulting en
neer, was engaged, it was thought
that it might take several times that
amount to get the desired results.
The improvements planned, it is
thought, wii! take cart of tiie city’s
needs for years to come without any
additional outlay. Indeed it is one of
the most important steps which lias
been taken by any council of the city
of Wausau in years. It is the wish
of every citizen that it will result in
giving to us a bountiful supply of
non-stinkable, pure water.

miracle paiNting now
IN THE CITY.
On Display at 818 Third Street, Only
One Week.
Miracle Painting, which is on exhi
bition at 518 Third street is drawing
a large crowd at both its afternoon
and evening exhibitions. It is being
shown for the benefit of St. John’s
Infirmary. The room is extremely
dark, every ray of light is shut out
and the picture is in the west end of
the room.
It is a Mfe size figure of Christ.
Christ is portrayed as a man of strength
having brown eyes, the conception of
the artist differing vastly from that
of the usual Christ head, with tiie
meek and tender blue eyes and gentle
manner.
When you enter the darkened room,
there seems nothing particularly pecu
liar about the painting, when the
light is turned on, but in a total
darkness the painting takes on a light
and behind the figure of Christ, a
cross appears.
Tiie feeling one has about the pic
ture is indeed peculiar, and if it was
not on a pivot and able to he turned
to view the back of it, one would
think that it was lighted up from
the rear. The phenomena lies In tiie
paints, and how they were used, al
though it has never been done again.
The Pilot published a history of tiie
picture last week.
The light from the picture is so
steady and luminous that each night
after the final lecture tiie men in
charge of the picture place it in its
case by the light it yields.
The picture was recently exhibited
at tiie Auditorium annex Chicago,
and an admittance fee of $1 charged
to see it, tiie funds going to the Chi
cago hospital association.
The hours are from 1 to 5 and 7 to
10 o’clock and the picture will be here
only one week. It is a marvel, and a
thing of beauty, probably unexplain
able, but something every one should
see. Admission 10 and 15 cents.
JOHN LAUGHLIN.
John Laughlin died Sunday at ills
home 709 Grand Ave. He had been
an unwell man for several years, but
during tiie past year lie had been
confined to his home much of the
time.
Mr. Laughlin was a very old resi
dent of this city, and because of that
long residence here he was known to
most of the older settlers. He was
for a time tx member of our police
force. He was born ,in the state of
Pennsylvania nearly sixty-eight years
ago. The greater part of his life was
spent in W. consin. He was always
a hard working, industrious man and
one who was held in high esteem.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Mrs. J. E. Howlett. The
funeral was held this morning from
St. James church, Rev. J. J. Brennan
conducting tiie service.
RECENTLY MARRIED, VISITING
IN WAUSAU.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Wolslegel
are in the city visiting tiie parents of
the former, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wol
slegel. Many of Henry’s friends will
’ no doubt be surprised to learn that lie
has entered the ranks of benedicts, but
such is a fact. He was united in
marriage to Miss Maud McCombs, at
Ottawa, 111., on Wednesday, June 15,
1910, and of course are enjoying their
honeymoon as well as visiting relatives.
Henry grew to manhood in Wausau
and for years held positions in our
printing offices. He was one of the
proprietors of the Wausau News,
which was published here for some
time. He is now a machine operator
in The Fair Dealer, at Ottawa. Mr.
anc Mrs. Wolslegel leave for their
home on Friday.
ANNUAL BALL.
There seems to be such a wide dif
ference of opinion among Training
school graduates in regard to the
dancing party at tiie park pavilion on
the evening of June 30th, that we
feel it necessary to give some expla
nation. It will he conducted precise
ly along the same lines and with the
same privileges as the dance that has
formerly been knrwn as the annual
Training scheji alumni ball. The
members of the committee desire to
have all members of the association
present.
A GREAT PICTURE.
Tiie picture “In the Shadow of the
Cross” which is now on exhibition
here for the benefit of St. John’s In
firmary should be seen by every one
who can possibly do 90.
It is certainly a wonderful stand
point there is no miracle about it.
The Cobalt absorbs artificial light
and reflects it and that will explain
how tiie picture can be seen in a
darkened room. Tiie one unexplain
able thing is the cross in the back
ground. The artist claims he did
not paint the cross. Scientists claim
that tiie paint of that part of the
picture is not Cobalt and therefore
tiie light is not reflected and the cross
appears. Anyway the picture is worth
tliought and study and every one
shot.ld try and see this picture.

GREY GRANITE.
Anderson Bros. & Johnson who
operate a granite manufacturing plant
in Granite Heights, are opening a
new quarry. Tiie one being opened
contains a kind of granite not ere
tofore quarried in this section, and if
it turns out as expected another re
source which is bound to advertise
Marathon county will be developed.
Indeed, so far as known there is no
other granite like it w est of Vermont,
the Barry of that state being some
what similar.
Anderson Bros. & Johnson have
long been engaged in quarrying and
finishing the red granite, of which
there is an unlimited amount in the
vicinity of Heights. Some time ago
their attention was directed to some
large grey boulders east of the rail
way about midway between Heights
and Trappe river. Samples were
broken off some of these boulders and
found to he a granite resembling the
Scotch or Vermont granites. A
piece was taken into the company’s
works and polished and it was proved
that it will take on a very fine polish.
This piece can be seen at tiie Walker
Monumental Works, near tiie cem
etery.
The only doubt regarding tills stone
is as to quantity. The outcroping is
on a side hill and present indications
are that the supply is large. Further
exploration may prove more encour
aging. If this proves to be tiie
case there w ill be no other section of
the United States, so far as known,
nor perhaps in the world so favored
as Marathon county in its granite,
for we already have the red and green
granites.

CITY COUNCIL.
An adjourned meeting of he city
council was held last evening for the
purpose of acting upon saloon licenses.
Tiie committee on licenses recom
mended that licenses be granted to
sixtv-four applicants. Two petitions
with about thirty names on them
were filed against granting Sam Hodes
a license allowing him to con
duct a saloon at 502 South Third
Ave. Three petitions with about
twice as many signatures were tiled by
the applicant in favor of granting the
license for that location. Tiie council
granted Mr. Hodes a license.
The so-called committee on tire,
which in plain English is the com
mittee which looks after engine house
property, instead of fires, was author
ized to purchase a combination hose
