FINE CATALOGUE.

The PILOT has received very hand.
some, illustrated catalogue from
Tolands' Business Universities OF
Lacrosse. 1t contains about 100 pages,
and is very handsomely printed, in fact,
we doubt if any institution in the
country can show up q handsomer
piece of work, or one compiled in bet
ter shape. To any desiring to attend
such school it will pay to write in for
a catalogue. Mr.. Toland has had an
army of students and all are holding
the best of positions with lcgSe pay. 1t
is to be deplored that MI Toland was
obliged to give up his Wausau
school, but he found it necessary to do
so because it was not profitable nor
practical to handle the business at so
great distance. The business has
now been consolidated with the univer.
sity at Lacrosse. While here, the
school graduated something like 150
students who are now receiving from
S35 to 1925 per month, a work of which
it is certainly to be proud.

ROCKEFELLER AND JESSE JAMES
In Some Respects, at Least Their
Systems Were Not Dissimilar.

The gifts of John d. Rockefeller to
educational and other worthy public
purposes are frequent and magnificent.
But it is alleged-probably without suf-
iioient justification-that every time this
richest man ON earth makes a big do
nation to charity or education, simultanS
eouslv there occurs corresponding
rise in the price of petroleum. 1t is
futher stated that the cause of this ad-
vance in the market quotations is now
so well understood that whenever oil
goes up cent the people all say that
Mir. Rockefeller is manifesting symp-
toms of generosity. Whether or not
this method of almsgiving is employed
by Mr.. Rockefeller, it is certain that he
did not invent it. Robin Hood and his
merry men pursued a similar course in
their time, and it was not unknown
among our own outlaws and free
hooters. As an example an incident in
the life of Jesse James may be cited:
A long while ago, when Rockefeller
was broker and speculator at st.
Louis, Jesse James, then the more IA
nous man of the two, was also in Mis-
souri, and operating near this city
around lone Jack and in the Sin-a-Bar
hills. On one of his expeditions,
James stopped at farm house and
found the poor widow who lived there,
IN tears. Upon inquiry he learned, so
the story goes, that she wept because
she had no money to pay an overdue
mortgage which her creditor had noti-
fed her he was going to collect that
day or take possession of her home.
Jesse bade her to be of good cheer, and,
pulling out of his own belt $1,000 in
crisp bills, generously gave it to the
woman with instructions to pay her
debt de then departed, hid himself,
and after the transaction between the
poor widow and the rich and grasping
banker creditor was closed, the gallant
Jesse waylaid and killed the latter and
took from his dead body the money
which he, the deSperado, had but few
hours before given sway in charity.
Mr.. Rockefeller probably was not an
intimate acquaintance of Jesse James,
although they both lived in the same
state, and he is not on record as ever
having approved of the outlaws meth
DDS, even in charity transactions

McCR0SSEN-JONES.
The Golden Anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. McCrossen's Wedding Day.

From the Wausau Pilot we published
an se,,eunt of the golden wedding of
Mr. and Mrs. James McCrossen of Wau-
sau.
The worthy couple in the early days
of Waupaca and vicinity were among
the most popular of our young people
of that time. Mrs. McCrOssen's father
was j. HI. Jones one of the intelligent
and progressive citizens of the pretty
village of Rural at that time. DIR. j i.
Ashman's wife is her sister. James
McCrossen is a brother to John and
the late Robert McCrossen He was
a wide awake and progressive young
man and knew where to select a good
life partner. Mrs. Chas. Chesley,
then Miss Laura Spencer, was the
bridesmaid on that auspicious occasion.
A local last week said the wedding
party went to the Weyauwega celebra-
ton for wedding journey with an OK
team. We are informed that the new
ly married couple and the bridesmaid
including her sister, Myra Spencer now
Mrs. Tompson, at Greenwood and the
brides sister now Mrs. j. Ashmun and
one or two of the brothers went to Wey-
auwega, on that memorable day and
returned to Waupaca to a dance at the
Van Duxee house which hotel stood on
the bank of the river near where G. P.
Dall's shoe shop now stands. Perhaps
that some did go with OK teams but on
this occasion it was not so. There
were just few ''swell rigs" in the coun-
ty and the groom and bride had one
on that Fourth of July, fifty years ago.
The Republican congratulates them on
reaching the Both milestone OF their
married life, as we'll as their success
financially and other ways. Our read
ers will be pleased to read the fol-
lowing extract from the published ac-
count of the event at Wausau last Sat
urday.-Waupaca Republican.

COUNCIL MEETING.

| The regular July session of the COR,
mon council convened Tuesday even.
| ing last.
The veto by the mayor of The resolu-
ton adopted at previous meeting
authorizing the construction of an en-
gine house on Bridge street was brought
to the attention of the city's legislators.
Alderman Liljqvest, father of the reso-
luton, stated that it had been intro
duced in a spirit subseryient to the
wishes of the people living in the north
end of town but with a misunderstand-
ing OF certain conditions relative to its
enactment. He desired that the mayor s
veto be sustained, which was done by
the unanimous vote of the council.
Later the committee submitted plans
and specifications for such building
which met with disapproval on the part
of some members one being of the opin-
ion that brick building should be
erected whereas the pv rs called for a
frame structure, anos,.er that the city s.
finances would not allow the construc-
ton of another engine house at this
time. Alderman Liljeqvest stated that
his people would be satisfied with a
frame building in preference to none at
all. He desired immediate action and
introduced resolution accepting and
adopting tie committees plans which
was carried A resolution authorizing
the board of public works to advertise
for bids and begin the work of con-
struction was also carried.
The mayor has since vetoed the reso-
luton for the reason as he states there
in to get time to study the plans and
specifications.
A petition asking that Second street
be macadamized from Jefferson to Full
ton was granted, upon recommends
ton of the committee.
The special committee to whom
had been referred the matter of
selecting a site for bridge
across the Wisconsin river to be located
in the south end of town reported that
the north one impressed the members
most favorably. A bridge built on this
site would span the river at Stewards
island with the east end resting just
south of Columbia park, the west end
at the tannery. The Alexander Stewart
Lumber Co. and the Geo. Ruder Brew
ing Co. will donate land for the build
ing of piers.
A lire alarm box was ordered placed
at the corner of Sixth and Scott streets.
1t was agreed to accept the PROPOSE
ton of the Wausau Box and Lumber
Co. that, that company build foot
bridge across the Wisconsin river in
the north part of town providing the
city pay $500, or two-thirds the cost of
construction.
A little horse talk was INDUCED in
between NJ. j. Cavanaugh and the
special committee appointed to pur-
chase horse for the use of the board
of public works. The committee bought
horse of Mr.. Cavanaugh but later,
finding the horse not to be sound, re-
turned it and the council at the last
meeting refused to pay for the animal.
The matter was discussed without any
action being taken.
The First street macadamizing hay-
ing been completed it was ordered that
an assessment be levied on abutting
property holders benefited by the same

The flushing of the water mains has
been resumed with vigor again this
week. For several evenings the city
employees will work on the west side
and cleanse, so far as possible, the
pipes on that side of the river. The
flushing has greatly improved the
water on the east side.
Roy Chellis and Miss Ella Kopplin
Were married Saturday evening at
eight o'clock at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Kopplin,
723 Washington street. The attend
ants were John Schoenman and Miss
Louise Hoppe, and the ceremony was
witnessed by relatives and a small
party of friends. Following the cere-
mony there was the customary supper
and congratulatory offerings. The
young couple have gone to housekeep-
ing and are living in rooms they have
furnished in the Kopplin home.
Gentry Bros dog and pony show
gave two performances at Warren park
last Tuesday to fair sized crowds, and,
as on previous appearances gave salts
faction. Mans mastery over dumb
brutes was fully exemplified at these
performances, and it is truly remark
able with what degree of intelligence
the latter can be brought by proper
training. The company, however, is
falling to the level of circuses in the
fact that it now has an after perform
ance for the purpose of extracting more
money out of the people and reserves a
number of the best features for the
latter show.
The tannery was closed down Satur.
day, all the hides in process of tanning
having been turned out into leather
that day. The shut down was moi
Occasioned by shortage of stock but
that the plant may be enlarged. In
the next few weeks numerous improve
ments will be made, among them the
| building of new leach house which
will add to The plants capacity, and
800 hides per day will be the limit OF
the output after all changes have been
made Many of the laborers will not
lose days labor by the closing of the
institution but will be employed al
other work about the plant
The Hoeffier-Gibney company filled
dates at the opera house every night
last week and gave better satisfaction
than is generally accorded by roper
toire company. The troupe was greeted
by fair sized audiences eaci evening
and on Thursday night the local lodge
of Eagles attended in body being pre-
sented with tickets by Encouragement.
Friday evening, Burns and nina, two
members of the company, took it upoL
themselves to give this paper some un-
solicited advertising, which we fully
appreciate. Their act is that of tear.

when their act had been completed
