Sam Marks, the negro whose appeal
to the supreme court was decided
against him, was resentenced, and he
is to hang on May 5. There has
been decided change in sentiment at
Darlington, however, and it is likely
that strong petition for executive
clemency vii, be presented in the near
future. Marks, it will be remembered,
was convicted Of the murder Of the
white man, Hill Langston, and the
militia had to be called in to protect
him from the mob, The case against
Nose Ham, who was Marks code
fendant, and who was given life
term, was mol pressed, the supreme
court having decided in his favor.

BEAUTIFUL ALTAR.

On Sunday morning at early mass
the beautiful new altar which was
recently installed in ST. James church,
was used for the first time. This
handsome addition to the church
furnishings is only one of the evidences
of the energy and devotion which
characterizes st. James parish under
the able guidance of Father Brennan
The altar is made of select quarter
sawed oak, of rich golden finish. 1t is
twenty feet high, about twelve broad,
and is finely proportioned throughout
1t is of the classic gothic order and was
designed specially for the church by
Oscar Weise, whose firm, Janke &
Weise, constructed it. The altar was
the donation to the church of several
prominent members whose separate
contributions ranged from fifteen
dollars up to hundred. In the high
central niche of the altar has been
placed beautiful statue of st. James,
the church's patron, which was the
individual gift OF L. K. Curran. Many
other changes are also being made in
the church. The nave has been en-
larged, the capacity of the church is
being increased, new seats are to be
installed, a new pulpit will be put in,
the plain windows will be replaced in
time by artistic stained glass and when
the many changes are finally completed,
St. James church will be one of:the
most beautiful edifces 10 Wausau and

steps until after the meeting of the
Association of Trustees and Superinten-

Wausau early in January. 1t was
thought that from the addresses and
experience giving at tEis meeting that
something might be learned that will
be of value in formulating plans. II

more satisfactory conditions will pre-.

poor house is good-the superintendent
is doing all within his power for the
good of the institution-but misman.
agement and carelessness of previous
superintendent has left something
that can only be destroyed by saturat
ing the building with kerosene and
touching match to it. A new build
ing erected, properly managed and
kept free from vermin would be long
step in the right direction, but until
some definate plan is settled upon and
worked out, the present superintendent
should be retained.

FINITE AND INFINITE.

The PILOT editor has received copy
from j. b. Lippinc0tt Co., publishers,
of L. G. Ryan's new book, Finite
and Infinite" and has taken
great pleasure in the perusual of the
same. The book contains 351 pages, is
neatly printed and is divided into two
parts. The PILOT published a brief
statement of the scope of this book
from its author, in its issue of Nov
21st. 1t is for sale at Rohdes book
store. Mr. Ryan writes us that he has
received, during the brief time the
book has been published several letters
from competent judges to whom the
publishers sent the book for review
Among others, Rev. W. o. Carrier

FOR ANOTHER STORY.
Congressman Brown Will Ask for ar
Additional Appropriation for the
Wausau Federal Building.

1t is quite likely that at some time in
the dim and misty future Wausau's
federal building will grow to heigth
of two stories-that is, it may, if con-
gress sees fit to make an additional
appropriation for that purpose, and
some red tape can be disposed of. A
dispatch from Washington, ID. c.,
dated Dec. 18th, states that Congress
man Webster E. Brown will introduce
blu in congress at the present session,
providing for an appropriation to add
another story to the Wausau building.
The dispatch further states that as all
of the land offices in Wisconsin have
been consolidated in this city, the
second story will be for the use of the
land office The dispatch does not
state what amount will be asked for,
but it will take a considerable sum to
build a substantial story, judging from
the amount spent on the first story and
basement, perhaps not less than
$50. 900. An addition, built skyward on
the building would greatly improve its
looks and would please our people. 1t
is quite likely that the land office in
this city will be maintained for great
many years to come, and the records in
the Office should be kept in fire proof
building. When the land office is
abolished, the government can find
another use for the second story
Perhaps by that time the business of
the local post Office will have grown to
such proportions that both stories will
be required for handling the mails.
So far as we can learn, no petitions
have been forwarded to Congressman
Brown, asking for the introduction of
the bill mentioned. He has, however,
had talks with leading Wausau citizens,
who have favored such measure. 1t
is hoped that the bill will pass and that
the ''top addition" can be started and
completed next summer
Lamps, to be arranged on either side
of the Fourth street turnstile, arrived
last week and will soon light up that
entrance. 1t appears that at the time
the structure was built someone over
looked these lamps, though they were
called for in the plans.
The janitor, r. Delnodar, manifests
wish that some tobacco chewers were

washing the marble wainscoting and
scrubbing the floor They have
reverence for the cuspidores placed in
the lobby and do not make use of
them.

MILD WINTER.

Elias Hartz, of Reading, Pa, aged 90
years, known all over the country as
the goose bone weather prophet, has
predicted a mild winter He helped
eat his first goose of the season last
week and after the bone was dried,
found very little purple coloring, de-
noting, as he says, winter of little ex.
treme cold weather.
Along about the holidays, or during
the early part of January, sharp drop
in the temperature is indicated, but il
will not last more than few days
The remainder of that month will be
mild.
About the first of February severe
cold weather with plenty of snow, and
probably blizzard, may be expected
Real winter weather is predicted fol
that month and it may extend into
March.
The bone is perfectly clear until the
middle of winter, when dark spot i:
shown. Then it again clears and re
mains so until the closing month of the
winter.
The discolorations of the bone are ir
sharp contrast compared with those O.
the two previous years. The one fol
1904-1905 showed from the dark colol
all the way through that the winter
would be severe from start to finish.

DIDN'T LIKE THE JOKE.

Some of the boarders of a certain
hotel in the city are telling story on
the proprietor relating to an episode
which recently transpired. The pro-
prietor spends large share of his time
in the basement, shoveling coal into
the furnace and usually has the hotel
unbearably heated. On a recent warm
night the thermometer in the Office
registered 81 above zero and the guests
were sweltering. They connived to
play joke on the "old man" and car
ried it out in this way: One of them
went outside and got piece of ice and
held it on the bulb of the thermometer,
while the others donned their over
coats. When the old man came up
stairs he looked at the thermometer,
saw that his guests had put on their
overcoats and heard them complaining
10 one another that the Office was cold.
He fastened down stairs and heaped
some more coal into the furnace and
opened the draught. The fellow with
the chunk of ice saw that the mercury
in the thermometer was at low point
every time the proprietor consulted it
and the result was that the latter kept
making trips to the furnace room unit
he had the boilers fired up to the dan
ger point. He then caught on" but
since then it has not been safe for any
one to query him on the prank. HI
says he would give s5 to find out wht
the fellow is that held the ice on tn,
thermometer, just for the satisfaction
es firing" him out of the house.

CARRY HELD, FRED DISMISSED,

In Justice Jones' court Wednesday
nearly all of the day was consumed IN
the examination of Fred and Caroline
Ohls, charged with manslaughter in
connection with the death of Ida Gutz-
meir, whose body was found in the
woods on Oct. 18th. A few new wit
nesses were examined whose testimony,
so far as having any bearing on the
case, was purely circumstantial. II
was shown that on or just prior to the
day the girl is supposed to have died,
that Fred Ohls first purchased at Al
bers' drug store a quantity of serum
of kind used in blood poisoning cases.
and later purchased chloroform From
the time the girls body was found, up
to the present, il has been the opinion
of many that her life was snuffed out
hand other than her own At the ex-
animation Wednesday it was proved
that the corset steels found by the
officers in the cook stove when they
made search of the Oils house, were
those of corsets Of the girdle style.
Mrs. Ohls' daughter Margaret, at first
denied having burned anything in the
stove until the steels were shown her,
then admitted that she had destroyed
an old pair of corsets, but claimed they
were of another style than the girdle
variety. 1t was the girdle pattern that
was worn by the Gutzmeir girl when
she left the Levenhagen home just be-
fore her death, but after death her
corsets could not be found, and the
theory of the state is that it was her
corsets chat were destroyed in the Oils
stove. When all testimony had been
submitted, Justice Jones discharged
Fred Oils, on the grounds of lack of
evidence to connect him with the case.
Mrs. Ohls was bound over for trial and
bail bond was reduced to $1,000 Up to
