DEACON ESS DAY.

Last Sunday was "Deaconess Day" at
the NJ E. church in this city. At the
morning service Miss Mary j. Com
stock, Supt of the Deaconess' home in
Milwaukee, the head of the Deaconess'
work in the state, gave an earnest and
impressive address, showing of what
the duties, responsibilities and privi-
lodges of the work consists, the oppor-
tunities offered young ladies to devote
their best efforts to the upbuilding of
humanity through this avenue.
Miss Comstock is delightful speaker
and impresses the listener with her earn
estness of purpose and her devotion to
the work she has chosen. In the even
ing Miss Lucy Judson, Supt. of the Dea-
coness' Orphanage at Lake Bluff, H.,
gave an illustrated talk on her work
using the stereopucon views to show by
actual scenes from the every day life at
the orphanage the work accomplished.
The pictures of the novels from which
some of the waits were taken contrast
ing SO wildly with the pleasant, helpful
surroundings of the home, appeals to
the practical ideas of practical people,
and her address was listened to with
intense interest by the large audience
present.
Rev. Pease in a short appeal for the
work, manifested his sympathy and in
terest in the movement, and offered an
opportunity to those present to share in
the good work by contributing to its
support as they saw fit, and it was met
with generous response. The ladies
Will be in the city during the remainder
of the week, and will be glad of coma
tons of money, clothing or any thing
that can be utilized in caring for the
needs of the little ones, as well as of the
sick and unfortunate. Mrs. H. G. Baker
generously offered her home in which
to give "Deaconess tea" the proceeds
to go to this fund. Thursday evening

ROBBERY.

Yesterday afternoon, about four
O'Clock, John Gussman, who conducts a
saloon near Kelly, left his place tempo
rarily on some business leaving the
saloon unlocked supposing everything
safe as his wife was in the back room,
as he thought. He was gone for some
length of time and when he returned
found his wife hoeing corn in the garden
where it appears she had been all the
time he was gone. Upon going into the
saloon he found the cash drawe. open
and the contents, about S25, gene. Two
strangers had been seen in tae neighbor-
hood previous to this and Gussman
telephoned to the sheriff to be on the
lookout for them. The sheriff at about
six in the evening discovered two fell
lows in an empty box car south of the
old planning mill in the south part of
town and conveyed them to the city
and locked them up awaiting identifi-
cation. None of the money was found
on them though they admitted having
been at Kelly that day They will be
held until further investigation is made.
Gussman has hard luck so far as rob-
berries are concerned. Last summer his
place was broken into and a consider
able amount of money stolen and it was
he who was responsible for the sending
of Ernst Lissack to Waupun recently,
Lissack snatching a roll of money from
him while he was standing at the bar
in Otto Kickbusch's saloon

Forest Hall for the visiting friends
VIII ere light refreshments were served

Both of these addresses were eloquent
and earnest eulogies of the work of the
Royal Arcanum order and its fraternal
features. Merrill council came down
on the evening train intending to return
on the midnight train, but were so in
terested in the program that they
missed their train. After the addresses
and serving of refreshments, the "old
folks retired and the young people

criminally assaulted one, Lille Pack
ard, June Sd, had his preliminary
examination Saturday before Judge
Miller. The court room was packed
with people who came there out of Curl
osity and the attorneys on both sides
requesting the court to exclude all peo-
pie other than witnesses, the same was
done. The principal witness was the
little girl and her story was practically
as that given in the paper a week ago.
Several other witnesses were examined
for the state, after which James attor-
neys M. b, Rosenberg, of Wausau and
b. A. Cady, Birmanwood, waived
further examination The court held
that sufficient evidence had been pro-
duced to warrant trial of the action
and so bound James over to circuit
court under bonds of 81 900. a brother
who lives at Pittsville was present and
he expects to secure bail in few days
for the accused.

placed on the market device called heat

every wire over which there comes into

The PILoT. in a previous issue went into
details regarding the beat coils 50 II is
unnecessary to repeat it, suffice it to
say thst in putting in the heat coils it is
necessary to disconnect each line in the
city for little while. during the time
the transfer is made Pierce Hirsch,
superintendent, IS pushing the work
rapidly and by Wednesday the new
coils win be in place, and besides
proving a great protection to the sys-

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.

Frank Henke, who lives at ia Tenth
Ave, N. was engaged last Tuesday
afternoon in hauling gravel from a
bank near the Rib bridge and was ac-
companied by his son, Freddie, boy
four years of age. In making one of
his trips out of the pit the little fellow
asked permission to catch on to the
rear end of the wagon and ride up the
hill, which was granted by the father.
When about half way up Mr.. Henke
stopped his team to rest. Not noticing
where the boy was he started up the
team again and hearing a cry looked
around and saw the little fellow crushed
into the sand, the blood issuing from
his mouth, and almost before his fright
ened parent could reach him he had ex-
PRED. The little fellow had evidently
got in front of the wheel and was struck
and thrown to the earth and the wheel
passed lengthwise over his body, break
ing every rib in his body, his shoulder
blade and neck and crushing him in
ternally.
The parents are sorely grieyed over
the unfortunate accident and have the
sympathy of friends in their affection.

LAND SALES REPORT.

Edward e. Kretlow, register of deeds,
has his clerks at work making out re-
port to the secretary of state of all the
real estate transfers that have been
made in the county during the period
from Sept l, 1901, to Sept. l, 1902 The
work has been begun eaIly that it may
be completed by the latter date for the
task of getting out such a report, com
prehensive as it is, is laborious under
taking. The land sales in this county
so far this year have exceeded those Of
any year since the county was first or
gained While there have been many
exchanges of Marathon county land for
Marathon county money yet large
portion of sales have been made to out
side parties which is an evidence that
foreign investors find this county de-
sirable locality in which J. place their
idle money Then again local land
dealers who have farming lands for
sale report that their business has been
unusuelly good for many months past
and that they have brought a great
many settlers to the county. This Of
course means a further development Of
our resources.

PUBLIC MEETING.

A public meeting will be held at the
opera house Sunday evening, June Goth
in the interests of the Humane society.
The object of holding this meeting is to
gain the moral support of the people,
not to raise money for its maintenance.
The local society has been organized
several years and during that time has
done a wonderful amount of good
more than the general public is aware
of-and yet it is not receiving the en-
enlargement due it, in fact there are
many people who appear oblivious of
the fact that such an organization is in
existence, and it is to arouse a friendly
feeling toward it that the call has been
made. The Humane society is not a
sectarian affair and so for this reason
every church in the city holding even
ing services on Sundays has agreed to
abandon such for once and join in the
meeting, and everyone irrespective of
creed is heartily requested to attend.
g. d. Jones, vice-president of the
society, will preside at this meeting,
and the following program has been
arranged
