DANGEROUS FIRE.

An alarm of fire yesterday afternoon,
at $50 o'clock, called the fire depart
ment out to extinguish small blaze in
the Alexander Hall block. The fire
originated in the fire room, under the
plank driveway which occupies the
space under the stage of Alexander
Hall. The fire caught in the shavings
used for fuel, and ran up the rear stair
way to the back part of the stage. The
department arrived in the nick of time,
as the paper on the walls in the rooms
back of the stage was on fire when the
firemen got upstairs with the hose. II
was hard fire to fight on account OF
the heavy smoke in the basement and
narrow stairway, and the department
is entitled to credit for the good work
done under such difficulties. The loss
amounts to some $3.50, but it was an
hour before the last embers were uncov
cred and extinguished. The building is
a veneer one, the stage part being GOV
cred with tin, and fire once under
Roadway would have everything its owr
way The fire was discovered by Franz
From, the delivery boy at The
Leader, and VIM. Kumerow at once
sent in the alarm.

AT THE M. E. CHURCH.

Miss Sarah Doebler, formerly of Pitts
burg, blu now of the Milwaukee Dea-
coness Home, is taking charge of the
work in the M. E. church during Rev.
Pease's absence. Miss Doebler has
been in the work eight years and is de-
voted to it heart and soul. She comes
to Wausau highly recommended 'as a
successful worker by the pastors OF the
churches she has served in. She will
remain here during this month. Dea-
coness work is comparatively new. The
first training school in the M. f. church
was instituted in 1897, in Chicago, with
Mrs. Meyer as directress. 1t has at
tanned such success that at the present
time it is impossible to supply the de-
mand for workers. They have at pres
ellt eight hundred workers in the
church. The largest homes are in
Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, Wash
ington. Hospitals under the direc-
ton of Deaconess' have been establish
ed all over the United States. The
work is supported largely by donations.
A deaconess work is to assist the pastor
in every way possible by looking after
the general interest of the church under
the pastors direction, such as visiting
and nursing the sick and needy, assist
ing those who need help, comforting
the sorrowing and conducting revival
meetings, also all necessary work in
connection with Epworth League,
Sunday Schools and the different
societies.

The pupils of the Grant school, first
grade, had most excellent natural his
tory lesson on their field day last week.
While passing through the fair grounds
large snake crossed our pathway 1t
was fully three feet long. The little
girl at my left unconsciously stepped
upon its tail which arrested its motion.
Itdarted Quits tongue a few times; then
seemed to become interested in us, for
it remained passive, looking very pleas
ant while we made study of it, noting
its symmetrical head, arched neck and
beautiful stripes. Many children went
home with an improved opinion of
snakes Mrs j. A. SHIELDS.

banquet board at S o'clock and two
hours were spent in paying attention
to the excellent menu and listening to
what each had to say on various topics.
Several flash light pictures were taken,
one of the club while at the table and
others of differently arranged groups in
the parlors. From ten O'Clock until the
hour of returning to their homes, quite
a number of vocal and instrumental
selections were listened to and a general
good time had by all. The banquet,
like all of the social functions given by

A BABY CYCLONE,
Small But Very Full of Life For One
So Small.


There was cyclone in Wausau, last
Thursday afternoon, but its travel in
our city was limited to such small
territory that very few outside of those
in the neighborhood at the time, knew
of the affair 1t was seen by John
Kuebler and others about two o'clock
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Kuebler was
passing between the two large buildings
of the Curtis Il Yale Company, and
was on the bridge which connects the
two upper stories. AS he glanced north
he was much surprised to see q cloud OF
whirling dust and debris, bearing down
upon the lumber yard and which it
struck moment later, taking off tops
of lumber piles and filling the air with
boards etc. 1t struck the blacksmith
shop and tore off about half of the
shingles There was team of horses
in there at the time and they became sc
frightened that they broke loose and
ran out into the yard. When in the
pathway of the little terror men ran for
cover, leaving teams, rearing ano
jumping about. 1t only lasted 8
moment, but during that time it die
quite little damage the most seriou:
was the tearing off of the roof of one o.
the dry sheds. The building is abou
twenty feet square and the roof was
lifted up slick and clean and carried
two thirds of the way across the Wis
consin river The cyclone crossed the
river from the Curtis & Yale yard anc
damaged the McEachron Touring mil
to the extent CT breaking the glass in Q
large transom. From there the baby
cyclone cannot be traced, more than
that there was quite little disturbance
in different parts of the city but not Of
q cyclonic nature. Mr. Kuebler says
that the track of cyclone was from u to
% feet in breadth.

FOURTH OF JULY.
Preparations Being Made fer Rous-
ing Celebration.


Most of the civic societies of Wausau
have united to arrange for a Fourth OF
July celebration and last Friday night
delegates from many of the societies OF
Wausau met at the Wausau Business
College to take the preliminary steps.
1t is proposed to hold the exercises,
sports, etc., at the fair grounds. An
adjournment was taken until the even
ing of the 18th of May at which full ar
rangements will be made.
The PILOT is always ready to lend its
columns to further anything of this
kind and will do all in its power to
make the proposed celebration sue
cess if decided to go on with it. We
think under the circumstances there is
mistake being made. just now there
is a movement on foot to arrange for
the reception of the Editors of the state
of Wisconsin on the Goth day of July.
On that day it is proposed to give a
flower carnival and grand reception to
the visitors 1t must necessarily be an
affair worthy of the metropolis of the
valley and will be no small undertaking
and will require good-sized fund to
carry it through. Now, can our people
stand two such events so close togethers
We think not, and therefore think that
everything should give way to the APP
preaching carnival. Wausau cannot
afford to do anything but get right to
the front on the 10th of July. There
fore the PILOT hopes that those who
have the celebration of the Fourth in
hand will consider this seriously and
with kindly spirit.

ARBOR DAY.
How it Was Observed by the Schools
of WauSau.

Arbor Day was observed at all of our
city schools last Friday by appropriate
ceremonies and the planting of trees.
At the High School, G. ID. Jones,
President of the School Board, and
Neal Brown, spoke, the former explain
ing the purposes of the board in provid-
ing SO much ground for the high school.
He said it was intended that the eastern
part of the grounds should be used as
the girls Play ground; the northern
part as an athletic field for the boys,
while that near the building should be
dotted with trees and shrubbery, ex-
tending into the lawn pIats to the west
and south.
Mr.. Browns talk to the scholars
should have been listened to by the
whole city He told how mot to plan:
tree and afterwards told just how it
should be done.
Mayor Anderson spoke at the Irving;
Rev. A. Fawcett at the Lincoln. The
Longfellow and Humboldt combined
their exercises, which included an adj
dress by John Ringle.
At the Franklin outdoor exercises
were held, and Mrs. g. ID. Jones spoke
to the children.
In the evening the entertainment,
Songs of Many Nations, !" was given at
the Opera House. This entertainment
was given about a month ago at the
high school, and was so we'll received
that it was repeated by tho request of
many. The program consists in the
most part of the cradle songs of all
nations, and the little girls who took
part can now sing their dolls to sleep in
dozen different languages.
The children were trained and the
songs given under the management of
Miss Margaret Reed, supervisor of
music and drawing in the Wausau
schools, to whom great deal of the
credit for the success of the entertain
ment is due
The work of the boys and girls in the
orchestra was a surprise to many, for
the time and tune qualities shown by
the players made many in the audience
feel that they were hearing regular
orchestra. The ability to pick up an
instrument and play it easily is one of
the indirect results of having music in
the public schools for thereby the pupils

The net receipts of the evening were
about $4,000, which with the receipts
made at the first rendition, put total
of $3.50 in the high school piano fund.
