PAINFUL INJURY.

On Friday morning last, Bernhard
Kruger, driver of the east side hose
cart, met with very painful accident.
He had hitched his team to load of
wood on the market square, got on top
of the load, and started for the engine
house, when the front stakes, holding
the wood, broke, allowing Mr.. Kruger
to fall with the wood to the ground
back of the horses heels, frightening
them. The horses ran but a short dis
tance before they eollided with pile of
timbers, and Chief Miller, who was
near at hand, stopped them and picked
up Mr.. Krueger. He was taken to the
engine house and DIR. ID. I. Jones
summoned, who made an examination
of the injured man but could find no
broken bones neither were there any evi-
dences of external or internal injuries,
yet he suffered great pain, and opiates
had to be administered to relieve him.
He was later taken to his home. Mr..
Kruger at present is improving but it
viii be two weeks before he will be able
to go back to work again. He is thank
full that the accident was not worse, for
had the horses had chance to run any
distance, it is quite probable that he
would have received fatal injuries.

LATEST FROM PIKE LAKE.

A lawsuit will in all probability be
the outcome of matter in the town of
Pike Lake, which briefly stated is as
follows: A discrepancy has been found
in the financial affairs of the town, and
this has caused Adam Remhenneck, the
town chairman to resign, and the
vacancy to be filled by the town board
appointing Joe Dambek, Mr.. Bemben-
neck is not charged with having done
anything wrong, but it is alleged that
crookedness had been done before his
induction into office. 1t is said that
there are orders against the town
amounting to 1900, which are illegal
The chairman accepted $500 worth of
these orders, supposing that they were
all right, and had them cashed at the
Wittenbcrg bank. Shortly after the
bank attempted to collect on the orders
when it was discovered that they were
worthless 1t is now said that an action
will be brought by the bank against
certain ones supposed to be implicated.
1t is also stated that these orders were
made in favor of men who had nothing
coming from the town, and that they
were afterward sold to other parties.
Friends of the parties are loath to be-
lieve that the charges against them are
true, and it is hoped and believed that
if the matter is more fully looked into
that it will be found that an error has
been made somewhere-probably in
the records of the town,

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day in Wausau was
generally observed by our citizens. All
places of business were closed at noon.
Family reunions were in order and
there were old and familiar faces to be
seen on our streets. Young people came
home from their schools in many in
stances The day was a fairly bright
one, aDd warm enough to make it pleas
ant out of doors. There were services
in Observation-Disclosures appropriate for
the occasion, which were largely at
tended. In the evening there were
numerous parties, private and public,
which were mostly for the young So
ciety people. All in all, the day was
one of great pleasure to the residents of
Wausau.
As to the poor. While the city is quite
fortunate in having only a few, com
paratively speaking, of the very desti-
tute within its confines, still there are
a considerable number who have a Sc
we're struggle to keep the wolf from
their doors. They make no complaints
but get along with what they have, if
only crust of bread, at times. Very
few know what is done by the more
fortunate OF our citizens in relieving
the distress of the poor in our city and
on Thanksgiving day it is safe to as
sumo that every well-to-do inhabitant
of our city, without display of any kind,
provided, at least one poor family with
a meal. Wausau is noted for her gen
erous-hearted citizens, and no small
of them are continually doing
yeoman's work in the interest of charity.
The day previous to Thanksgiving, the
different departments of our city school
distributed provisions to the poor
the city. Each scholar
brought what he was able to school, and
all was made up into parcels. A very
kindly and generous act, was that of
one of our charitably inclined citizens.
On Wednesday morning he telephoned
the editor of the PILoT that he had
$500 to put into turkeys, chickens,
and provisions for the poor, provided
we would see to the distribution of the
same. This was promised. Frank Nor
gan, the genial proprietor of the Nc
Clellan street livery stable furnished
team and driver, free of charge, land

assistance of a few of the ladies and

INTERESTING LECTURE.


A Trip Through Russia and Siberia,
With Capt. S. Alberti as Guide.
The Masonic fraternity has made ar
rangements with the agent of Captain
s. Alberti to give u lecture in Wausau
during the latter part of January, on
"a Trip Through Russia and Siberia. :"
Capt. S. Alberti, having lately escaped
from Siberia through friendly assist
ance, is able to give one of the most
thrilling and interesting experiences
ever presented to the American public.
Having served as an officer in the Rus
sian army eleven years, two years in
Turkey, three years in the Caucasian
mountains, and six years in Siberia in
different capacities, namely: as engin-
eer in the mines and exile transporter
from place to place, thus knowing
practically the everyday life through
out Russia and Siberia.
He came to America several years
ago, but had to return to Russia for the
purpose of settling some business in re
gassi to an estate left him by near rel
ative, when he was taken prisoner and
sent back to Siberia, on this occasion
not to serve the country in an honor
able capacity, but as an exile. He
managed to make his escape through
friendly assistance, and will impart to
all the world his experience and what
actually exists in Russia and Siberia,
where there is so much suffering and
torture.
He carries over 100 very fine views of
Russia and its people, which he will
show upon the canvas at the close of
the lecture. Further particulars will
follow in future issues of the PILOT.

THEY ARE NOW ONE.

On Tuesday morning last occurred
the marriage of Mr. George Belanger
to Miss Margaret Egeler. The cere-
mony took place at 10 o'clock at st.
Mary's parsonage, Rev. Father Casper
officiating, and was witnessed by but
few relatives of the contracting parties.
MIR. JAS. Ayiward and Miss Minnie
Tripp acted as attendants. After the
ceremony had been performed the
party drove to the Crystal Cafe, where
delicious wedding breakfast was par
taken of. At noon Mr. and Mrs.
Belanger left for Stevens Point to visit
relatives. They will go to housekeep-
ing in N. lenders residence on Jeffer
son street. The contracting parties are
well and favorably known, and have
countless numbers of friends who join
with the FuoT in wishing them much
happiness in their new estate. The
bride is the daughter of John Egeler
and is young lady of charming man
ners. Mr.. Belanger is employed at the
Columbia buffet, and since his coming
to Wausau has, by his gentlemanly
bearing, made hosts of friends.

ply provided for and great credit is due
Mr.. Holz for the interest displayed in
the distribution and his untiring efforts
in seeing that all the needy were sup
Piled What can be said of the gentle
man who furnished the cash, that gave
fifty families the substantial portion of
their Thanksgiving dinners? Well, it
showed that he had heart larger than
the hand of Providence, and no doubt
tie thought of having given cheer and
comfort to those in great need in our
city, 5000 Inhabitants was very graft
flying to him. A community cannot
have too many of such generous souls.
May his shadow never grow less"
Skating on the river was very good
and those of our young people who
love the sport, spent part of the day
enjoying that exhilerating exercise.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Silverthorn gave
a dinner at the Hotel Bells, to relatives
which consisted, besides their own fam
lily, of the families of Judge w. c. Silver
thorn, Mayor v. A. Anderson, Ex-Mayor
H. Z. McEachron and George Maxon
Twenty-Five sat down to the table.
The concert and dance given by the
on Thanksgiving evening
was the most successful of entertain
ment furnished by that society for
many day. The sale of tickets was
large and consequently the crowd in
attendance was correspondingly large
Those who attended, from the point of
an onlooker, appeared to enjoy them
selves most fully. Geier's orchestra
furnished inspiring music and it was
late hour before the last strains died
away. A supper was served at mid
night by the ladies' After all expenses
incurred in getting up the affair had
been paid, it was found that quite an
amount was left over to the good of the
account of the society. The
concert consisted of musical numbers
both instrumental and vocal which
were enjoyed. Mrs. E. V. Speef,
Jacob Reuter- and the Eichenkranz, of
this city, and the Eintracht, of Stettin,
assisted in the concert. my Old Ken
tucky Home" was rendered in English,
by the Liederkranz, much to the salts
faction and pleasure of all. Hereafter
it is the intention of this society to in
troduce more English songs into their

WORK COMMENCED.
Northwestern Special Construction
Train at Plalnfeld.

A special train of twenty-five cars of
grading implements, horses, mules,
dummy cars, track, feed, tents and
men passed through this city today.
The train was delivered to the Central
at Neenah and was taken through
direct to Plainfield, passing through
here at about $50 o'clock. The outfit
is the property of the contractors who
are to do the grading for the new
Northwestern Princeton-Marshfeld ex-
tension, and work is to be commenced
right away. The new line will cross
the Centrars track near Bancroft and
the work is to be commenced at that
point and will be extended in both
directions, toward Princeton, through
Almond, and toward Marshfield
through Grand Rapids. This is not the
line which it is proposed to extend
through this city, except that the Ste
vens Point line will connect with it
somewhere in the vicinity of Bancroft
if it is decided to build it.-Stevens
