SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL.

On Wednesday morning last Edith
Baer, girl II years of age was arrested
on complaint of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Baer. who charged her with
being an incorrigible. She left home
some three weeks ago, since which time
she has been working as domestic,
preferring to earn her own living rather
than enjoy the hospitality of her par
ents, so she claimed. The case was
postponed until Thursday, but as the
girl would not return to her home, she
was taken care of by Chief Anderson.
Later she was ordered by Judge Miller
to be committed to the Industrial school
for girls at Milwaukee, where she was
taken by Sheriff Marquardt the latter
part of the week. She is a bright
promising girl, and with proper train
ing, will leave the school the better for
having spent few years there.

SALT THE ELIxER OF LIFE.

Scientists claim to have discovered
that the genuine "elixer of life" is
found in salt Yes, common every day,
cheap, despised salt. Experiments
with new "elixer' have been conducted
in Chicago on a very extensive scale
and, if the reports given to the press
are at all trustworthy, the discovery
gives promise of being one of the most
wonderful known to medical history
The experiments have been conducted
both on animals and on humans
From seventy to ninety per cent of their
blood has been drawn from dogs and
then an injection of per cent salt
solution into the veins has restored the
circulation and the animal has got
well. 1t is thought the remedy will
prove particularly efficacious in cases
of Bright's disease and in lung, heart
and blood diseases. The Goth century
starts out in way which promises to
give it a record that shall eclipse even
the wonderful achievements of the 10Th
century.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Installation Services on Tuesday Evening
and Reception on Wednesday Evening.

On Tuesday evening, January Is,
1901, DR.. S. N Wilson was installed as
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
of Wausau. 1t was an important event
in the history of the church and the
services were very largely attended,
the auditorium and balcony being
filled, even the standing room being oc-
cupied. The decorations were elabor-
ate, consisting of cut flowers, plants,
etc., and the musical program was a
most delightful one.
Rev. James Wilson, of Merrill, mod.
orator of the Winnebago Presbytery
presided and propounded the court
questions.
Rev. A. l.. Badger, of Stevens Point,
who is very well known and esteemed
in Wausau, having filled the pulpit here
for short time, during the absence OF
Rev. w. o. Carrier abroad, preached
the sermon, which was very strong,
logical one and very well received.
Rev. j. E. Chaplin, of Neenah, who
has, for thirty live years, been the pas
tor of the Presbyterian church of that
city, gave the charge to the pastor. In
doing so, he welcomed DIR. Wilson,
as man fully equipped for the work,
and to whom the Winnebago Presby.
tery would look for counsel and advice.
He very feelingly alluded to the work
of his predecessors-Revs. Hageman,
Stewart, Smith and Carrier.
The charge to the people was given

PRINCIPAL DEPOSITORY.

Recently there appeared in the Mil
waukee papers, statement to the eff
feet that the National German Ameri-
can Bank of this city was making its
principal reserve depository in Mime.
apolis. The Milwaukee bankers
seemed to be quite anxious about it.
The facts show a different condition
than stated by the aforesaid papers, in
reference to which H. G. Flieth makes
the following statement:
1--WE do great deal of business in
Minneapolis and it is therefore con-
venience in our exchange business with
that city to keep part of our reserve in
one of the banks in that city. We have
done this for years and the Nicolet
we did business. A short time ago the
Nicolet National Bank sold out to the
First National of that city and we were
left without depository in Minneapo-
lis. The law requires that the bank Sc
lected in a reserve city, must be app
proved by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency before the funds deposited in
that bank can be counted as lawful re-
serve. wrote to the Comptroller and
J Nermission was granted in letter
we'd recently. That is probably
" the report got out from the
washington end, suppose. The great
er part of our reserve fund is deposited
in one of the banks in Milwaukee"
The Nat German American Bank also
has, as approved agents, by the U. S.
Government, the following banks:
The Wisconsin National and National
Exchange banks, of Milwaukee; Metro
pOlitan National and Continental Ma
tional banks, of Chicago, and the Ma
tional Bank of the Republic, of New
York.

BASKET BALL BLESSINGS,
OR WHY THE GIRLS PLAY IT.

With the emancipation of woman
from sitting sedately in the parlor with
the proper prunes and prisms expre.'-
sion on her countenance, has come her
right to indulge in other sports than
welding the scrubbing brush and the
rolling pin. Nowadays, when she feels
inclined to give vent to her superfuous
energy by heaving the rolling pin at
some offending head, she plays basket
bali instead. Thus is dire calamity
averted and sweet peace restored.
Consider this, oh ye men, who have
lodged the unerring flight of some
domestic utensils also consider, ye who
have not had to dodge; and, in pure
gratefulness to the inventors of this
grand game, help on the good work by
patronizing the girls basket bali game
next Friday evening Consider this,
oh We women who have ill.resisted the
temptation to hurl the deadly frying
pan, and, thankful for your deliverance
from the clutches of the s. T. e. A.,
encourage this blessing to the world by
attending the girls championship game
next Friday evening. Admission only
Is and % cents. Consider this, and
furnish your children the wherewithal
to witness this greatest boon of all CEN
turies in the High School gymnasium.
The girls have good teams; rivalry
runs high between the classes and each
will try to gain the supremacy over its
opponent. The place of the Junior
team will be filed by a general team
from all classes, as the Juniors have
not succeeded in obtaining a full team
from their own ranks. The eontesting
teams are quite evenly matched and
the games promise TO be lively. The
lineup is as follows

LIGHT BOOM WORK.

Next year, the work on the river at
Wausau will be very much lessened
owing to the large amount of logs
which will be shipped in by rail. Here
tofore the greatest amount of the logs
manufactured at our mills have been
run down the river; in fact it was only
few years ago that every log was
brought down the Wisconsin river to
our mills. Our lumbermen have found
out that it is not only cheaper in
long run, but. infinitely quicker to
ship in by rail. Every log owner used
to figure a ten per cent loss on his logs
by the river route; by rail there is no
loss, By water, logs come struggling
in for years after they were cut and
started down Why, only recently one
of Tim Hurly's logs, cut over thirty
years ago, was run through the Stewart
mill John Stewart who was actively
engaged in the lumber business when
the timber was cut,s was standing near
by and at once recognized the old Tim
Hurly's mark The fact is the bottoms
of the Wisconsin river and the lakes
above, are covered With dead heads"
relics of early logging operations in the
Valley. By rail, the logs are loaded on
to the cars way UP in the northern
wilds one day and are laid down at
the mill the neNt. We started out by
saying that work on the river, at Wau-
sau will be mj jch lessened next season,
in fact there will be less activity than
at any time since logging commenced
in the pinery. The Alexander Stewart
Lumber company will only run 3,0OO,O 900
feet down the river, and as the Manson
logs, and the Jacob Mortenson
Lumber company's logs and those
for the Barker q Stewart rnill win be
mostly shipped in by rail there will be
little for the dividing crew to do. Here
tofore the dividing of the logs fer the
different mills, has taken no small
amount of work and had to be done by
experienced and trusty men. Our mills
will cut just as much lumber as ever,
for many years to come, but we look
for the Wisconsin river to be perfectly
clear of booms, piers, rubbish, ETC., in
few years, and then, what fine place
our citizens will have for boating be-
tween Wausau and Brokaw. Talk
about your beautiful lakes, they will
not be in it with Wansau and FIVE miles
of clear river, from a quarter to one
half mile wide

CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY

The police of this city have received
a circular letter from the authorities at
Omaha, Neb., giving a description of
Pat Grove, who is wanted for the kid
naping Of Edward Cudahy some time
ago, the account of which is familiar to
our readers. In this circular the miss
ing Pat is described most fully, and four
cuts of the man are given. One of these
is from a photograph taken in 1893,
a front and side view taken in 1898,
when he wore a moustache, view
taken of him in 1890, when he was clean

HIS VITALITY SAVED HIM.

On Tuesday evening, last, man was
brought to this city and taken to the
Riverside Hospital who went through
an experience from which it seems
almost impossible that man could
survive. When he arrived here he was
conscious, and was able to give a
coherent account of happenings. His
story runs thus:
His name is John Kranski, and his
home is at Polonia, Portage county.
He had been working near Barclay,
Mich, in the camp of Jas. Mcintyre,
formerly of this city. On Monday, a
week ago, he quit work at the camp,
was paid off, receiving check for $50 SO
in payment for his services, and started
for Choate, ten miles distant, to get his
check cashed. In going to Choate he
travelled along the track of the North
western road, carrying sack of cloth
ing over his back A train approach
ing was seen by Kranski, and he tried
to get off the track, and endeavoring to
do so slipped and fell. He remembers
the train striking him, but after that
was unconscious until along in the
night. After regaining consciousness
he tried to move, but found that both
arms and leg were broken. He could
do nothing but lay where he was and
wait for succor or to perish. Thus he
lay until morning, on an icy bed, part
of the time being conscious and then
again lapsing off into an insensible con-
dition. The next day the engineer of
south bound train, in passing, discov-
cred the man lying beside the track and
stopped his train and the injured
Kranski was taken on board and
brought to this city. He had lain in the
snow, as near as can be estimated,
about twelve hours, and that he was
not frozen to death was because the
weather was somewhat mild. After
being given medical aid he revived, and
is now in condition to recover, all
though it was feared that he was injured
internally. Many at first thought the
man might have been intoxicated at the
time the accident occurred, but he
claims ne had not tasted of liquor on
that day. He did not yet have his check
cashed, and did not have cent of
money in his pockets, and therefore
could not easily have procured liquor
That the man survived the accident
and nights exposure is a miracle.

THE VALLEYS ATTRACTIONS.
The Wisconsin River Basin Offers a Rich
Field for Manufacturers.

Last Thursday afternoon the Wiscon-
sin River Valley Advancement Associa-
ton held special meeting in this city
at the Bells House parlors A reporter
of the Milwaukee Journal was present
and gives the following report of the
meeting With the opening of spring
and the time for activity in the Wis.
valley, the Wis. Valley Advancement
Association will begin the work of
booming this prosperous part of the
state with renewed vigor Owing to
the absence of several members of the
association the meeting here Thursday
was not pronounced success, but a
few important measures were discussed
and the five members, who constituted
a quorum, will be the more ready to
discuss the present issues at the next
meeting to be held at Merrill next
month. The two Wausau directors,
Andrew L. Kreutzer and d. L. Plumer,
were both absent from the city, and
their connection with the association
being of prominence they were missed
by the assembled directors.
1t was generally believed that at this
meeting the secretary would be elected,
but owing to the small attendance the
election was postponed. 1t is said that
several of the members have candidates
for the position whose names will be
brought up at the meeting next month.
Ernest Overlook, of Grand Rapids, who
has been acting secretary since the
death of Lester A. Rose, was reelected
secretary pro tenn until a permanent
is made.
At the meeting last month a resolu-
ton was introduced and carried that a
committee be appointed for the purpose
of communicating with the county
boards of the Wisconsin valley, asking
for the names of owners of cut-over
lands and at the same time requesting
the different counties to make an appro
priation of money for the association.
w. G. Collins, the chairman of the COM
mittee, reported that favorable answers
mad been received from Marathon,
Wood and Portage counties. Each of
the three appropriated $3.50. Other SUBJ
scriptions have been received which
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1901-01-22

brings the total amount to S1,775. 1t il
desirable to procure 5000 for the work
to be done this year by the association
Letters will be sent to the owners oi
cut-over lands asking for their aid in
the work, and requesting that they
make a subscription. 1t is probable
that the association will make arrange
ments to have special representative
visit the owners personally and solicit
subscriptions. After having been in
session for an hour it was moved that
the meeting be adjourned until Feb.
ruary 2lst. when a meeting will be
called for Merrill, Wis.
Those present at the meeting were
w. H. Bradley, of Tomahawk, presi-
dent; Ernest Overlook, of Grand Rap
ids, secretary pro tenn; W. g. Collins,
of Tomahawk; H. r. Fehland, of Mer-
rill, and H. NJ Thompson, of Mosinee.
Those present were most enthusiastic
about the future of the Wisconsin val
ley. immigration to the cut-over lands
is receiving much encouragement.
President Bradley said in speaking of
the valleys great possibilities
1t is almost needless to say that the
opportunities for extensive agriculture
and manufacturing in this district are
boundless. We have found that the
Wisconsin river can furnish over 275, 900
horse power, and many thousands in
this county (Marathon) alone. 1t is a
notable fact that the river is not nav
igable, so there will be no trouble such
as there has been on the Fox river. 1t
is our object to encourage manufacture
ing plants of all kinds to locate here,
and | think before great while the
move will begin in earnest The condi-
tions are particularly favorable to paper
mills with the great water power and
the good transportation facilities"
Mr.. Bradley was asked about his
home, Tomahawk, and said "Toma-
hawk is of course a new town, but she
is coming to the front and in a few
years will be most progressive city.
The pine wood in our country is almost
bat there is plenty of hard
wood, enough to keep us busy for many
years to come"

SMALL POX.

On Thursday last it was learned that
there were two cases of small pox in
Stevens Point. Stringent means were
at once taken to prevent the spread of
the disease. The two victims are JOS
eph Kamrowski and Frank Joch. Very
close watch should be kept up in Wau-
sau to see that the disease does not get
a foothold here.
