NEXT MUM Der.

The Mozart Symphony Club which
appears here Monday evening, March
Sd, and which is the next entertainment
of the Y M. G. A. course consists of an
excellent string quartette. 1t owes its
renowned reputation to the fact that it
is the only musical organization whose
members play solos on such obsolete in
struments as the Viola d Amour (often
called Viola ofLove) Da GAMBIA, Alpine
Echo Horn, Cornet, Saxophone, Roman
Triumphal Trumpet, etc. These solo
Instruments enable the Club to give
programme more varied than any other
company with three times as many
members.
Lexington, Mo, Daily Intelligence
says: We have never seen people pro-
duce a better entertainment than the
one given by the club last night, Every
one of the four members is an artist,
and the different instruments and COM
binations Of instruments in the well ar
ranged programme gave variety to
the music that was most pleasing.

INSURANCE ADJUSTED.

In the last issue of the PILoT was re-
ported fire which occurred in the
building, since that time an adjustment
has been made by the insurance COM
panies which was satisfactory to all
concerned. The PMoT building and
printing office were insured in the fol-
lowing agencies
With H B. Huntington in the Nation
al Hartford and Milwaukee Mechanics.
With j. N. Manson in the Hamburg
Bremen.
With H. L. Wheeler in. the British
American and Pennsylvania.
The amount allowed on stock and
building was 1921 80.
The James Music Company was in
sured with j. n Manson in the Scot
fish and National Union and received
1886 a.
VIM. Baerwald was insured with j..
n Manson in the Norwich Union and
received $3.50 90.
f. V. Mum of Milwaukee, came up
on Saturday and made the adjustment.
He is a gentleman who thoroughly I'M
stands his business, and impressed all
with his fairness in the adjustment of
matters.
The PILOT building was not damaged
but little so far as the fire was con-
cerned, nor was the PLOT printing Of
flee, but the smoke and water made ii
necessary to repaint and calcimine
nearly the whole interior. All this has
been done the past week and from the
looks of things no one would suspect
that there had ever been a fire in the
building.
Both stores are now in as good shape
as ever and doing business as usual.

THE MARATHON COUNTY FAIR.

The 33rd annual fair of the Marathon
County Agricultural Association will be
held at Wausau, Sept End, 3rd, 4th and
5th, 1902. This fair has made reputa-
ton the last few years. by getting back
to the lines for which fairs were organ
ized-"the promotion of agricultural
pursuits" Instead of making horse
races the whole thing, they have made
the stock Judging and agricultural
products the features of their exhibit
The result is that where two years ago
there wasn't a herd of pure blood stock
in Marathon county today they have,
nearly a dozen herds of pure blood
Short Horn, Red Polls, Guernseys, Jer-
seys and Aberdeen Angus cattle. The
county has also carried off first pre-
MUM in the county agricultural dis
plays at the state fair for the past three
years. The people of the adjoining
counties should visit the Marathon
county fair this year and see what kind
of dual purpose institution can be
created, by an intelligent crossing of
the old fashioned pumpkin show and
the modern horse races-Tomahawk

THURSDAY, MARCH 9TH.

Iil0 VI
This will be a great social event in
the history of our city and one that will
mean more than the usual reception or
dancing party, for it will throw the
doors open of one of the finest club
houses in Wisconsin, and which will
ever remain open to its members there
after.
The opening event is given by the
Club and will consist of a reception
from until 10 o'clock, and after that
there will be dancingin the Club House
hall. Either Dana's band, of Marinette,
or the Arion band, of Oshkosh, will be
engaged for the occasion, and
during the reception hours will play
concert music. AS these are the finest
orchestras in Wisconsin there will be a
great treat in store for the lovers of the
terpsichorean art. The invitations will
be issued on Thursday next, and as
many will be invited out of the city the
attendance will be very large.
The house committee has charge of
the arrangements and is composed of
the following well known gentlemen of
our city G. S. Curtis, B. Heinemann,
Frank Kelly, G. B. Bird, H. II Manson,
c. j. WInton and Dr. Russ Lyon.
Several days before the opening
event, the furniture will be put in place
and everything in order, and on the
evening of the 9th of March, there will
be a meeting of the Club memb ers, at
which time the house will be turned
over to the Club in finished condition.

Body Found in Sections.

New York, Aug. 19.-The police
have a mystery to solve in the finding
in the North river near the Battery
of the body of a man with the right
leg missing. Two hours later a right
leg of a man was found floating in
.Gravesend bay, about five miles south
of where the body VAS picked Up.
What puzzles the police is the fact
that while the body found was de-
nuded of clothing, the leg IA dress
ed in dark, gray striped trousers, a
white sock and lace shoe. The posi-
ton of the leg and body. as repre-
scented by the police, indicate that.
together they make up n person.
The man was about 35 years cid, five
feet ten inches tall and weighed about
225 pounds. The leg indicates that
it had been severed at the thigh by
some sharp instrument. In the trou-
sers pockets was found a gold ring,
studded with three amethysts.

He WAS MURDERED
ST. PAUL POLICE WORKING ON
MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Unknown Man Flags Train With a
Bloody Handkerchief and
Then Disappears.

st. Paul, Aug. 18.-What the police
believe to have, been q murder was
disccvere,i today, when a man with a
bloody handkerchief tagged a Mil
waukee train near the state fish
hatchery and informed the trainmen
that a man had been killed there.
The train crew made an investigation,
and found the remains of a, man scat
tered along the track for more than a
mile. The clothing found was such
as is worn by men in prosperous cir
cumstances, but neither money nor
jewelry was found. There was moth
ing by which the dead man could be
identified. The only articles that may
give a possible clew are a handker-
chief with the initial 60 and a 10
ride motor ticket good between St.
Paul and st. Paul Park. From this
ticket two rides had been punched.
So far as has been ascertained, no
one is missing from St. Paul Park,
and while the ticket agent remembers
having sold two such tickets as that
found he is unable to give any cleW
as to the identity of the purchasers.
People in the vicinity where the re-
mains were found saysthat they heard
men engaged in a row during last
night, and the theory Of the police is
that the unknown man was robbed
and murdered and his remains placed
upon the tracks where they would be
mangled by the passing trains. They
are looking for the man who tagged
the train, but so far without success.

TURF.
New York Experimenting With Sub
stitute for Coal.

New York, Aug. . 19.-Successful
tests have just been made of the turf
or bog Of the New Jersey lowlands
around west New York, to ascertain
whether it can be used a a substi-
tue fuel in place of coal or coke, for
the winter season. Ex-Alderman o..
L. Auf Der Heide, inspector of sewer
work in west New York and John Kel-
ly, an expert on Irish peat, dug up
great chunks of the turf and took the
samples to a blacksmith shop. 1t was
found to burn readily on the forge af-
ter it had once become dry. It turned
to a rudy glow and seemed to hold
its fire as long as anthracite or soft
coal. There is almost an unlimited
quantity of the turf or Jersey peat"
as they are beginning to style it in
the vicinity of west New York. Along
the tracks of the Hudson Heights
street railroads to the south and eass
for more than a mile there is a wide
spreading meadow of it.

Representatives Sign It.

London, Aug. 18.-In a dispatch
from Shanghai, the correspondent, of
the Times says the protocol of the
tariff treaty was signed Saturday by
the British, American, German and
Japanese representatives without res
ervation and by the Austrian, Belgian
and Dutch representatives ad referen-
dunn.
This action, continues the Times
correspondent, was personally due to
the American commissioner IT. S..
Sherretts) desiring to conclude the
business before returning to the Unit
ed States. The Chinese commission
ers lacking imperial sanction, did not
sign the protocol; therefore if China
modifes it the signatures affixed Sat
urday will be void. The document
provides that the new tariff become
operative November l..
Portugal, adds the correspondent,
complexities the situation by claiming
a concession Of two small islands near
Macao, and the right to build a rail
road from Macao to Canton as a quid
pro quo for her acceptance of the new
tariff. This incident, says the repre-
sentative, illustrates the difficulty un-
derlying this whole matter.

STRIKER KILLED.
Patrick Sharp Met instant Death at
Nesquohonina, Pc.

NN4THN. 49,
Nesquohoning, Pc.
Nesquohoning, Pa, Aug. 18.-In a
clash between striking mine workers
and deputies here tonight Patrick
Sharp, a striker of Lansford, was shot
and almost instantly killed by a dep
suty. The shooting caused consider
able excitement for a time, but or
der was 0 o restored without any
other persons being injured and the
town is now quiet.
A deputy named Harry McElmerile
was arrested, charged with the killing
OF Sharp and was taken to the county
Jail at Mauch Chunk.
The shooting occurred shortly af-
ter 6 o'clock.
! Five deputies were on their way to
shaft No. l of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company, just outside of
the town. In the center of town they
were met by a number of strikers,
who began persuading them not to go
to the colliery. The officers did not
stop, but kept on their way and tried
tc' prevent any trouble. The strikers,
it is said, then began to abuse the
men and followed them nearly to the
colliery.
There r conflicting stories as to
what actually brought on the clash,
but just before the deputies entered
the place a shot was fired and Sharp
dropped to the ground. The bullet en-
tered his body close to. his heart and
he died almost instantly. Witnesses
say that the shooting was done by
McElmerile and that he stood only six
or seven feet from Sharp when he
fired his revolver. i
Only n shot was fired.
The deputies Immediately withdrew
to the colliery and a large crowd gath
cred about the place. When it was
learned that Sharp was dead there
was the greatest Indignation among
the strikers and other townspeople
and for a time it looked as though
serious trouble would follow. Cooler
heads among the mine workers, how
ever, prevailed on the crowd to dis
perse, urging the argument that if
there is any bloodshed troops will
surely be sent here from Shenandoah.
The crowd dispersed. and the town
Don Gained down to normal state.
