NEW PLANT.

The stockholders and directors of the
Wausau Electric Co. met Saturday
evening with the senior member OF the
firm of Oberson & Keefe, andhydrawlic
mechanical engineers of Appleton, who
submitted an outline plan for the build
ing of new power house for the COM
pany 4 The plan was accepted but the
size of the building was not definitely
settled upon but will in all likelihood be
50x60 feet. Mr.. Oberson is now in
Appleton and will return about Thurs
day with the completed plans. Messrs.
E. b. Holster and r. o. Riard, hydraw
lie engineers working for the above
named firm, have made a survey of the
site and have determined the location
of the power house and also the dam.
The old J G.. Clarke dam will be torn
out and superseded by new one of
greater stability. Work will be com
menced on this Immediately and the
work rushed with all possible dispatch
so that everything will be complete
before freezing up time. The power
house will be of solid brick and of last
ing construction. The machinery and
all appointments will be designed by
Oberson & Keefe, who have built
nearly all paper mills in the Fox river
valley, and who are considered practi-
cal and up-to-date men. Besides having
an excellent water power the station
viii be supplied with engines of 500
horse power capacity, which can be
used in emergency cases. While the
company is investing a great deal OF
money in the changes contemplated,
there will be saving from the present
mode of operating the plant, and the
power used will be more steady and
reliable.

WAUSAU CITIZENS IN A GREAT
STORM.

A fierce hurricane swept the Atlantic
coast last Wednesday which was the
worst known in that section for many
years. At atlantic City alone fifty
hotels and cottages we're unroofed. 1t
is estimated that fifty lives were lost
and when reports are al liz the number
may ruin considerably above that. just
to show the severity of the storm the
Pilot will mention few incidents
Twelve boats were pounded to pieces
on the Staten Island shore. Fifteen
yachts were beached on City Island.
In Jamaica Bay, $50 vessels were over
turned and pounded to pieces. Prop
erty losses will run up into the millions
at the summer resorts along the Jersey
and Long Island coast.
While enroute from Oyster Bay to
New York, on the naval yacht Sylph,
President Roosevelt passed through the
terrifying wind and rain storm. He
was accompanied by his wife and son,
Kermit, party of guests and the MEM
bers of the executive staff. The Sylph
pitched heavily, but beyond a drenoh-
ing none suffered any Inconvenience.
Mr.. and Mrs d. L. Flumer, of Wau-
sau, were in New York City on Wednes-
day and they were quite a distance
from their hotel when the storm COM
menced. A carriage was called and a
wild drive was made to the Waldorf.
They say it was the most terrific storm
that they ever experienced Plate
glass windows were shattered, cabs
and trucks overturned and signs blown
down. Many times during their drive
they expected their carriage to go over,
but they attribute their safety to the
good judgment of their driver, who
drove on narrow streets, on either side
of which were very high buildings.
Just as they were safely inside the
hotel, one of the large plate glass, main
doors of the same, gave way with g
crash. They feel very lucky at having
escaped without injury. They returned
home on Friday.

THE BEATRICE.

j. Ryland Clark, OF Baltimore, in
private letter to his uncle, C. L. Shackel-
ford, of Ottoman, enclosed these lines,
which he penled, as he says, "out of my
sorrowful heart, for i am greatly in
sympathy with you ALL"
Let us hear that whistle long and clear.
Sail up the winding creek-the old Kings
And crew, show thy faces as they were jast
the same.
Heave to, and men, seek the lingering kiss
OF mother, sister, or thy brothers.
Come clasp them 70 thy breast in fond caress
And soothe their troubled minds to rest.
Then show the well-won treasures of thy toll,
And yarns new learned to youth'sdelight un-
coil.
Nor You will not float in Carriers Creek
again?
Why? o. God, what miseries beset the swain (!
The blighted mother, sister apd brothers.
Their hearts are split in twain!
What, all swallowed up by the hungry waves?
All, God above! o, heart break-break!
For Gods sake-for His sake
Resolve yourself into a stone
And let me die, starve Alone"
These words were cried aloud
BY many whose aged heads were bowed,
BY pale-faced lads and lasses brave.
To see those whom they mourned
Willingly would they MI their grave.
Among the mothers who lost son
Was one who had watched her family grow.
And saw II fade away.
That tenderness lowered DER but four
The four that seemed to stay.
Eleven in ali had graccd her matron throne,
But only four remained to see how tender the
mothers heart had grown.
But again, o God be mercifull
She shed those bitter tears of love
For loss OF son, for loss of love.
THE Atlantic and the Swan sailed home
And why" she walled, "Oh, why did not the
Beatrice? 2"
Cruel ocean waves! Give up thy dead!
Give up my son and let me see his face once
more,
Else my heart I'll wrench out by its core"
The warm sun never saw that boat again,
Nor did mothers eyes.
But still she waits-God bless her
And sings her sad refrain:
Come back again, come back again,
Come back, come back to me!
Rise up, sail DER the ocean sea,
For still wait here on the lea"
But no, that cannot be,
For some day she>will go to him;
God watch and guide her in the interim.
