Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1903-08-04

The annual picnic Of the Baptist
church society of this city held Friday
at the farm of Walter Hinton on
Trappe, was very pleasant affair and
very largely attended.
So far, this is the coolest season
known in this section for years, last
Friday many thought there would be
a frost and only for the wind and
clouds, no doubt there would have been.
Since Friday there has hardly been
ray of sunshine. Surely the first days of
August have been anything but
pleasant.
Miss Lily Fuenfstueck was presented
Saturday with the scholarship in Law
renee university won by her for the
highest standing in the Wausau public
schools. 1t was presented by A. S.
Bennett, of the university, who was up
from Appleton that day. 1t is quite
likely that Miss Fuenfstueck win enter
Lawrence this fall.
The Merrill Advocate tells of boy of
that town who last week attempted to
duplicate the act of high diver. He
filled barrel full of water and put
a ladder near by and dove from the lad
der into the barrel of water and as
result he stuck in the barrel, and might
have drowned unless neighboring
woman, upon seeing the performance,
handn't pulled the lad out.

The teachers institute for Marathon
county opened yesterday morning in
the Agricultural school building with
an attendance of about 40 which was
increased later by twenty-five or thirty
more A greater interest is taken by
the teachers this year with their work
and the faculty is the strongest of any
institute ever held in the county-Ex-
state Supt L. d. Harvey, Prof Patzer
and Miss McFadden, of state normals.
The demand for Fly FLUID last week
depleted O. G.. Callies' st ock but he has
secured a new supply and can fill all
orders to the end of the season. This
is the greatest discovery of the age to
avoid the annoyance of flies, to horses,
cattle or any domestic animal during
the fly season Sprayed over an ami
NAL fly will not go near it. 1t is not
poisonous, no unpleasant odor, and
does no harm to the beast on which
it is applied, in any manner. Farmers
secure so per cent. more milk from
their cows by using it on them.
Bicycle owners should not have their
tires inflated too much in hot weather,
for when the mercury is lowering
around the 80 mark there is danger of
an explosion. When the air is forced
into the tires on cool day it expands
to such an extent when the weather be-
comes warm as to cause an explosion if
the material in the tire is not sutfi-
GENTLY strong to withstand the heavy
pressure within. To avoid the annoy
ance of having the tires burst and the
expense of repairing them it is well to
avoid initiating them too much and to
keep the wheel out of the sun as much
as possible when it is not in use.
Joe Lucia, proprietor of the Adams
House, tells us of queer place he
found man using recently as a lodg-
ing place. When the circus was here
some weeks ago one of the employees
was ''let out" and next day asked Mr..
Lucia for job and was given the posi-
ton of janitor of the stable. Of late he
was working the bar too strong to suit
Joe, and was told to leave. Some time
after he left Mr.. Lucia missed canvas
covering for his buggy. He made a
diligent search and had about given
up hopes of finding it, when he CHANGED
to take look at his growing shoates.
There in one corner of the pig pen he
saw the much wanted canvas, and
within its folds was the sleeping barn
ianitor. What followed can better be
told by Joe.

! 1t has been some time since the citi.
| zens of the town of Pike lake have
furnished any news to the local papers
but last Sunday they got down to bust
ness. From what can be learned it APP
pears that on that morning the good
villagers of Bevent attended divine
worship at the church AT some time
