Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1901-09-03

All whd go to the Exposition in Mil
waukee next month will witness
transformation in the building where
former expositions have been held.
The big structure has been entirely re-
modelled under the direction of archi-
tect A. G. Clas, who, in a measure, is
responsible for the character of the
show this year. 1t can be truthfully
stated that the Electrical and Industri-
al Exposition, as it will be known, will
prove to be the most spectacular and
instructive institution that the Milwau-
kee merchants have promoted. Elec-
tricity and all it does will be the fea-
ture of the show and all the principal
industrial features of past eXpositions
will be retained There will be reduced
rates on all roads entering Milwaukee,
commencing Sept. 18th and concluding
Sept. 2S, the period the Exposition will
be open. The show will be open three
weeks this year instead of fivea as in for
mer years.
Aug F. Marquardt, sheriff, has of late
been making great many improve
ments on the county jail grounds. The
low grounds in front of the building
have been filled up and covered with
top dirt and seeded down to grass.
This fall it is his intention to cover the
driveway leading into the grounds with
rotten granite from the Clarke island,
and have the same rolled. Also TO lay
row of white cobble stones on each
side of this driveway, and to fix up in
Vulnerable flower beds. More trees
will also be set out and it is Mr.. Mar
quardt's intention to make the place a
park that his successors in office may
well be proud of A greet many of the
trees already planted out are of fast
growing species and it will be but a
few years before they will afford shade.
Still further Improvements will be
made on the grounds next spring.
On September 9th the mill of the
Barker Il Stewart Lumber Co. will
again resume operations after an en-
forced idleness Of several months. By
that time it is expected that the rear
drive of the Wisconsin river will have
reached this city, which will replenish
the company's exhausted supply of
logs. In this drive there will be up
wards of 100000 feet belonging to this
firm, which will take about three
months to manufacture into lumber.
After these logs have been cut the sup.
ply of standing timber, once owned by
this company, will be exhausted. What
the intentions of owners of the mill are
for the future have not, as yet, been
made known to the public, but it is
quite probable that the mill will be dis
mantled, as has been reported. not for
some time at least.
Next week will be a busy one in the
circuit court room, for the fall term of
court opens on Monday, September
9th. There will be a great many law
yers from outside towns present who
are interested in cases that will be up
for disposal. The criminal calendar is
made up of ten cases, while the balance
of the calendar will be of about the
usual length. The case that will at
tract the most attention. perhaps. IF it |
ever comes to trial. will be that of the |
State of Wisconsin VS.. Frank Schwantes.
The defendant is charged with having |
last fall murdered VIM. Klokow and |
wife. an aged couple living near Spen- |
Ger, by setting fire To their house while |
they were in bed.
