KILLED AT SCH0FlELD.

An accident occurred at Sehofield at
an early hour Wednesday morning
whereby Patrick O'Donnell lost his
life. O'DonnelI lived just south of
the village and was employed as a
filer in the Brooks & Ross mill, and
after eating his breakfast started for
the mill to enter upon his days work
taking as his route the railroad track
An engine had been sent out that morn
ing to clear the st. Paul tracks of snow
drifts and the wind was blowing a gale
at the time and O'Donnell was walking
along with his head down to shield his
face from the falling snow and was un-
aware of the approach of the locomo-
tive. The engine crew, it appears, did
not see him end the engineer, being a
new man on this route, did not blow
the whistle for the crossing He was
struck and knocked off the track, his
left leg being cut off at the knee. A
son who works in the mill, nights, on
going out of the house to throw out
some water, looked up the track and
saw an arm protruding from the snow,
and, followed by his mother, ran to
investigate and there found bis father.
When picked up, blood was flowing
from his ears, and there were indica
tions of internal injuries. DR.. Rosen
berry was summoned, but the man
died of his injuries three hours after
ward.
Coroner Kitzki considered it neces-
sary to hold an inquest, which he did
with the result that verdict was rem
dered that O'Donnell came to his death
by accident
Deceased was Al years of age fand
leaves wife and six chidren His re-
mains were shipped 10 Antigo, his for
mer home, where the funeral was con-

HEAVY SNOW STORM.

Tuesday night brought the heaviest
snow storm which has been had thus
far. There was fall of eight or ten
inches aud the wind blew perfect gale
piling up the snow in some places in
great banks. The storm was general,
and throughout Northern Wisconsin
the conditions being about the same as
in this vicinity In the lower part of the
state there was sleet and snow which
did much damage to telegraph and
telephone wires The trains run hap
hazard for several days as the high
wind kept up during the time, and
drifted the snow quite badly Northern
Wisconsin has never had better win
ter than the present There has not
been day since about December lst,
that the Sleighing has been poor, and
the result is that the lumbermen have
been able TO do business without the
least drawback of any kind the farm
ers, too, have been able to draw every
thing saleable to market with ease.
There is no doubt whatever but that
good sIeighing will keep up until, at
least, the first part of March. While
there is good deal of snow on the
ground now, few warm days will re-
duce il quite a considerable.

A LARGE AMOUNT OF Bark.

The United States Leather company,
of this city, uses large amount of bark
a year. just now II is using twenty
cords a day and later in the sesson it
will use forty cords in the same length
of time 1t is estimated taat 10000
cords will be needed every year. One
can hardly realize whS.a vast amount
this is, but trip to the company's yard
viii give good idea because several
thousands of cords can be Seea ia piles
there. After the acid has all been
extracted fron the bark it is
then utilized to keep up the fires
under the boilers. and no other
fuel is used in the large institution.
The company owns immense tracts
of hemlock lands but does not expect
that It will be compelled to use any of
its own bark for gieas many years, As
the supply coming from the farmers
and contractors will be sufficient The
farmers of Marathon sounty are now
bringing in about twenty enldS per day
and as much more comes by rail. D.
r. Bruss has charge of the BARK supply.

WAUSAU FUEL COMPANY.

The above is the name of new insti-
tuition which has opened up in Wausau.
1t is located in the southeastern part
of our city and will operate in small
building until such time as the demand
for its goods shall war; ant the erect
ION of factory. S q Rice and son,
j. f. Rice, have been for some time
experimenting on a fire lighter until
they are of the opinion that they have
the very best one CT the market.
More kerosene is now used for lighting
fires than is burned in lamps. The
way in which it is used in most fami-
lies, makes it very dangerous, and
numerous horrible accidents are almost
daily reported. 1t has been the effort
of the Rices, to get up some cheap fire
lighter that will do away with the use of
dangerous explosive oils. They starte d
at Merrill and operated factory there
for some time. Finding they could
make better arrangements here they
moved to this city several weeks ago.
They manufacture two kinds of fire
lighters, one for lighting coal fires and
the other for wood The former is
composed of two strips of pine wood,
about 1x5 inches with piece of wood
in the center holding bunch of ex-
celsjar, this is nailed together and is
dipped into preparation which makes
it give out fierce blaze for some time
at any rate long enough to light
soft coal.
The other is smaller, about 1x3 inches
and will effectually light dry hardwood
without the aid of any more kiudling.
They are sold in boxes of fifty aud 100,
and while ready sale has been found
for the article in Merrill and Wausau,
still the largest demand comes from the
vast territory below us and from the
prairie country, where the only pine
wood they can get is that which comes
ia the shape of boxes The company
will secure its material from the re
fuse at the different mills
Any one desiring ire lighters should
drop postal card to the company aud
it will receive prompt attention The
PILOT has given the lighters a test, aud
pronounces them in every way, super

making further change at this time.
Our report one year ago showed
the total value of eur plant to that
date $l9,500. Considerable has been
added to this during the past year,
but this was largely in the way of
repairs. There has been but one i'm
portant extension made to our lines.
namely: the extension of our toll line
from Sunset tn Sunrise, a distance of
five miles. all in this county.
| AS heretofore, we have made no ef-
fort to sell treasury stock during the
past year. though as a matter of
policy you directed that sales ofstock
to our patrons be at par. Only one
share of stock has been purchased
during the year.
In conclusion, we believe it is only
u question of time when it will be
necessary for us to reconstruct our
lines and Iut in complete meSAllic
circuit. We deemed it inexpeTent
To do this for he present. hu6 We re-

Considerable discussion was had
about the service, and it seemed to be
the opinion of all present that the Wau-
sau Telephone company was giving as
good satisfaction as could be asked for
on common return circuit, and as to
the financial condition of the company,
of course, all were well pleased.
An expression of opinion, in regard
to the disposition of the surplus money
on hand, was quite extensively entered
into, and on motion of r. Z. Parcher
it was voted to allow the directors dis
cretionary power to improve the service
wherever, in their opinion, it was
found necessary, but the idea of making
IA large outlay at present for changing
from common return to metallic
circuit, was rather discouraged
On motion of E. G.. Zimmerman, it
was voted that the secretary cast a
ballot fol the old directors to succeed
themselves. There being no further
business the meeting adjourned.
The directors met Immediately after
adjournment of the stockholdes meet
ing and elected the following officers
for the ensuing year:
Presdent-N Heinemann.
Vice-Pres e B Thayer.
Ser e~tary-James Montgomery.
Treasurer-W w Albers.
Counsel-G. ID. Jones.

| damage to property caused by cleo
trio current, whether artificial or

tions relating to this Insurance to be
carefully investigated by the law
firms of Ryan. Hurley & Jones and
Brown. Pradt & tienrich. and ON the

brought suits against the insurance

Another point of Observation-Disclosures
est is the change instituted by us in
the rates of service. We stated in
our last annual report that it was
only question of time when 1t
would be deemed expedient TO some
what increase the monthly rental
charged for tele hone service, and
this matter was discussed quite fully
at the meeting. 1t seemed advisable
to Us to make change, slightly in
creasing the monthly rental in resi-
dences, leaving all other rentals the
same as before, and we therefore
adopted a resolution March A. 1902.
