The lecture by Rev. Jos. Brown, of
Marshfield in the Presbyterian church
Wednesday evening was fairly well at
tended, the G. E. society, under whose
auspices it was given, profiting by the
same to the extent of Sl7. The subject
of Mr.. Browns talk was Bonnie Scot
land" and his discourse proved both
entertaining and instructive. MIR.
Brown is keen observer and his travels
through Scotland have given him a
large fund of knowledge on that
country.
The PILOT made a statement in its
last issue that Robert Kickbusch's
automobile had been taken out of the
barn and demolished by some unknown
party. Mr.. Kickbusch assures us that
the statement is not correct and that
his automobile has not been taken out
only by those whom he gave permission
and that it has never received the
slightest injury. The rumor, as it
reached the PILOT reporter, was seem
ingly a misunderstanding all round
and we gladly correct it.
The Marshtield Times says that Hon.
and Mrs. B. F. Mcmillan will start next
week on a trip through the extreme
northwest. They will go over the
Canadian Pacific, stopping at various
points of special interest, and their ulti-
mate destination will be Dawson City.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcmillan will not be
content to touch the borders of Alaska
as most travellers do, but will take
trip on the Yukon and penetrate the
interior for an actual view of the
mines. They will visit the Portland
fair on their return trip.
AS time passes, more reports of the
damage done by the wind storm of July
18th come to hand. w. w. Thayer,
chairman of the town of PlOver was in
town Saturday and reported that the
storm of the day mentioned leveled
crops, unroofed houses, toppled over
out buildings and uprooted thousands
of feet of green timber in his town. He
estimates that the damage done will
foot up to $4,000. He further stated
that the town of Harrison also suffered
greatly and that $50, 900 will hardly re-
place the damage done.
A committee composed # R., Gee,
of Fit. Atkinson; DR.. 7. r. Loope, of
Eureka, and S. H. Marshall, of Madison,
which is making tour of inspection of
the states trial orchards, visited Wau-
sau, Wednesday. The gentlemen made
a careful examination of the trees and
growing fruits on the GenSman farm,
which, with the exception of few trees
that had been winter killed, they found
in first class condition. There was no
perceptible blight and the orchard gives
promise of bearing gu abundance of
fruit. There are four trial orchards liz
the state, located Ut Eagle River, Poplar,
Medford and Wausau.
Theo. Langfeld, who has been super
vising the work of constructing the
Wausau federal building for Hanson
Bros, the contractors, will leave to-
morrow for Chicago The work over
which he had supervision has so far
progressed that his services are no
longer required and he will be assigned
to one of the many buildings which the
Hanson Bros. have under construction.
The balance of the work on the federal
building will be mostly interior work
and the same will be under the super
vision of the government inspector.
The building is at present being plas-
tered.
Private Holt, who few weeks ago
opened a recruiting office in this city
to receive applications for service in
the u. s. army, last week enlisted two
men. These were VIM. Hinke, of
Merrill, and Frank Kunz, of Cad p. o.
The former enlisted in the cavalry
branch of the service and was sent to
jefferson Barracks, Mo. The latter
chose the infantry and was sent to
Columbus, o., there to be assigned to &
regiment. Maj. John G. White came
down from Marinette on Tuesday and
on Wednesday he mustered the two
men into the service. Since he has
been in Wausau, Private Holt has re-
ceived twelve applications for army
service. Ofthese he has turned down"
eight because their age, height, ETC.,
did not conform with military rules,
and the examining physician has re-
jected two because of physical imper-
fections.
