From Up-toDate Farming.
 It takes an honest man to date his eggs
 Even if eggs are sold by the dozen. large-sized eggs command and hold trade.
 It should be rule on every poultry farm that all eggs be marketed each week
 Be careful what you sell, for one bad egg may be the cause of the loss of a valuable customer
 Statlsticians report that more money is spent in year for eggs than four
 An honest poultryman is above meth ods for preserving eggs. Stored eggs are palmed off in the winter In competition with the fresh article
 We have no faith in the old-tme theory that artificial nest eggs induce laying. The only mission that tho nest egg can have Is to teach young bullets where to deposit their crop
 Some hold that the profitable egg fowl has small head, a slender neck, a nar- row body, deep in front, rather long in shanks, or not too heavy a weight, and of an active, sprightly disposition Just why some people have hens that do not lay. white others with the same , breed are getting a good supply of eggs, Is becauce in the latter cases the hens are receiving the proper attention There is more In feed and care than there is in the breed
 In starting to serve a special egg trade. be sure to select the breed that lays the kind of eggs that trade demands These eggs should be carefully graded accord ing to size and color, and packed clean and strictly fresh.

 A laying hen s a greater feeder and drinker than one not laying.

A WORD FROM SAN FRANCISCO,

In the PILOT, of May LIST, there APP
peared letter written by Mrs. Dyson
to her sister in this city. The letter
was not written for publication, but
all letters at that time from the stricken
district coming from relatives, were
eagerly sought after and this one was
kindly handed the PILOT Mrs
Dyson spoke very freely of things as
she saw them, and censured certain
conditions. This has brought the fol
lowing from Rufus p. Jennings, secre

ton of San Francisco. The letter is as
follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, California, May 70, o.
Mr.. E. B. Thayer,
Editor, WAUsAU PILOT,
Dear Sir: Mrs. Willis e. Witter OF
Berkeley, California, has shown me a
copy of your paper of May /, 1906, in
which you print a letter written by
Mrs. Mamie Clarke Dyson of Oakland
California, giving what purports to be
true account of the earthquake and
fire which visited San Francisco on
April 18th with disastrous results.
In justice to you and to Mrs. Dyson
and tc San Francisco | deem it proper
/ to inform you that the account is great.
ly exaggerated, probably caused by
the excitement of the moment.
While San Francisco has sustained
vast losses by the fire, the spirit of the
people is undaunted and the city will
be restored to its former prestige, and
will be a greater, better and more
beautiful city than ever before. Many
thousand mechanics and laborers are
already at work constructing temper
airy buildings anG contracts are being
let for imposing structures in the bust
ness section of the city.
Respectfully yours,

The committee having charge of the
work of soliciting funds to be used in
purchasing a site and erecting a new
Y. M. G. building, feel very much en-
couraged in the results of the first
weeks work. During the past few
days Messrs. w. H. Rissell, l.. SeXmith,
Neil Campbell and others have ap-
preached business men and the follow
ing figures show the results of their
work: Three donated a total of Sic, 900;

corner of Third and Grant streets,
though the transfer has not yet been
made, and pom that site will erect a
handsome, modern Y NJ G. A. build
ing, finely arranged in every detail
with innumerable conveniences not
afforded by the present building. One
of the features will be free beds for
and to such, efforts will be made to
find them work. Nearly 1000 will be
spent in making it one of the most
handsome buildings in Wausau and as
it is for the use of every young man
irregardless of religion, nationality or
color, it is proper that all classes should

The public spirit which characterizes
Wausau people is being manifested
in this enterprise, yet, as above stated
it is big undertaking and to make it

GAVE $4,000.

Chas. Edgar, of Virginia, former
citizen of Wausau, and who is still
quite heavily interested, was in the city
yesterday, shaking hands with his hosts
of friends and to look after his business
affairs. While standing with Messrs.
Sexmith, Campbell and a few other
friends on Third street, he made the
remark that if he ever moved again it
would be to Wausau; that he knew of
no place that he liked better and
especially since the streets of our city
had been, so greatly improved He is a
lover of fine horses and he admires
good streets, which we did not have
when he previously lived in Wausau.
"What paper is that you are carrying
about ?" he inquired of Mr.. Sexmith.
That gentleman handed him the sub
scription paper that was being passed
around for the erection of new Y. M.
G. A. building, ana told him that he
could investigate for himself. He
astonished those out with the paper by
saying, well, guess l viii help you a
little in this" and putting down his
name for $500 90. This was substan-
tial way Mr.. Edgar had of showing his
love for Wausau and its people.

ACQUITTED OF CHARGE.

At Elks' hall Thursday evening
Mayor M. III. Duncan was tried on
charges preferred by brother Elks and
acquitted. The charges were that for
two weeks prior to his election he had
abandoned home and family and spent
his money in strange and unusual
places. Attys Fred Genrich and Oscar
Ringle conducted the prosecution and
the mayor was defended by Atty's. M.
B. Rosenberg and F. P. Regner, while
G. B. Bird acted as Judge. There was
large assemblage of Elks and their
invited friends and fifteen visiting Elks
from Merrill, twelve of whom served
as jurymen. John Okoneski acted as
clerk of the court and G. A. Martin as
bailiff.
The trial as conducted fulfilled the
mission sought---that of furnishing a
vast amount of amusement for those
who did Lot know of the character of
testimony to be brought out. When
the Merrill gentlemen were sworn as
jurymen the most peculiar and ludic-
rous oath ever delivered in or outside
court room was given them. AS to
their qualifications as jurymen, they
were asked if it would make any differ
enee to the east or west side people of
Merrill if a conviction was secured.
Among the witnesses examined for
the prosecution were Detective Sum-
mercorn Geo. Halder), Miss Lillian
Schurmeier IN. G.. EWING. Expert
Dalrymple IN. N. Weeks). The de-
tense offered as witnesses Theodore
Roosevelt CIV. H. Mylreal, Carter Har-
rison, ST. DOS. Reiser), 'Hinkey Dink
81. F. lamont and the mayor. M. g.
Ewing and Geo. Halder were two of
the star witnesses and gave damaging
testimony, but the attorneys for the
defense had sufficient amount of fabri-
cations stored away in behalf of their
client, which was sprung at an oppor-
tune time, to act as an offset. After
the introduction of all testimony the
case was submitted to the jury with
out argument and verdict of pecul-
lar type was handed in, acquitting the
mayor of the charges. Judge Bird,
who by the way made an excellent
presiding officer and displayed great
tact in handling the case, congratulated
the mayor on his acquittal and then
proceeded to rub it into everyone who
had connection with the prosecution
and this he did in a humorous way
that convulsed the assemblage.
Following the trial luncheon was
served in the dance hall. A number
were called upon for addresses, among
them + w. Kubasta, of Merrill; Z. G.
Pors, of Marshfield; A. Pflueger, of
Manitowoc, the mayor and w. H. Myl-
rea.

| experiences as principal. This year
ship in this city. Mr.. Pdrlin and Mr..
Mathie spent the first few years of their.
work in trying to make the people of
the state realize that Wausau was on
| the map. They started with arousing a
scholarship spirit in the school. Then
athletics and defamation work was
started. In athletics the school has al
ways done well, although not always
having won first place; at the Appleton
meets 1t has persistently been an i'm
portant factor, having always scored
first or second. This year the school
has accomplished many things; it has
won notable distinction in every field.
The scholarship team went up against
close second to the strongest school.
Ours is the only free high school that
/ scored at all, and the school ought to be
very proud of it.
Capt. Bugbee, Peterson, Roach
Young and Coach Scholes, each made
few remarks about the meet and
spirit of the school and of the prospects
for a team next year. Hugh Durkee,
Orrie Peterson, Frieda Kuckuk and
Miss Carpenter, spoke on the scholar
ship contest. Frank Okoneski and
Elsie l.. Duprey made few remarks on
their declamatory work Mark Schol-
| field spoke about the meet from the
rooters standpoint. Mr.. Lewis next
| gave a short talk He said otha bovS
worked and worked faithfully at the
meet The fact that we did not get first
is not the fault of the team out the fault
OF the fellows in school who did not get
out and try. Everybody should make
an effort. We have in us the possibility
OF being the best and we should be the
best"
Mamie Miller spoke for the domestic
science departments; Walter Strauss for
the manual training department; Roy
Boyles for the drawing class; and
Arthur Lamotte for the high school
orchestra. Supt. Tohey was then
! listened to, in part as follows: Lately,
many honors have come to this school,
Out of a class of eighty in history at the
university, the strongest and best is
Wausau boy. On the commencement
program at the u. of W., out of hun
dreds that might be selected, two have
come from Wausau. One of the sophie
mores, graduate of the w. H. S., Just
received a scholarship valued at $780,
We have just reasons to be proud of the
past and we ought to turn our faces
resolutely toward the future and make
the work in every department better
than it was before.''
The brief celebration was wound up
with cheers and high school yells.

AN UP-TO-DATE INSTITUTION.

The Mathie Brewing company GER
tainly keeps up with the times on all
new improvements. Among the many
1t has recently put in is new beer
hitter. 1t is wonderful addition in the
advancement of good beer making and
their large establishment is materially
benefited by the installment of the
same. Beer is forced through the filter
under a pressure of forty pounds by
means of an electric pump. This insures
perfect filtration. The company's
water supply comes from its own plant.
-Four, four inch pipes with brass sleeves
on the end, are driven into the earth TO
a depth of ninety feet. The water is
pumped into large tank on top of the
brew house and from there is dis
tributed throughout TIE plant. 1t is
properly filtered and perfectly pure.
The company also have two De La
Nergn ice machines, nine and thirty
tons capacity, each. The large cellars
of the plant are kept at temperature
of about zero, by means of these
machines. In the cellars are glass
enameled steel tanks. These are abso-
lutely air tight and being thus en-
ameled, make them the cleanest casks
in which to store beer, being only
another indication of the truth that
purity" is the watchword Oh this insti-
tuition.
They have malt house of their own
and Otto Mathie, president and brewer,
looks after the buying of the barley,
thereby assuring only the best of barley
being used, and the same is matted
under his supervision. The brew house
is fitted out with all of the latest
machinery and brew house outfit con-
sisting of a copper steam kettle and
copper beer cooler.
The bottle house of this company is
supplied with all of the latest machin-
cry, such as bottle labeler; bottle wash
ing machine. that washes sixteen bot
ties at time; aluminium bottle corker;
bottle soaking machine and patent
bottle beer pasteurizer, the latter being
patented by Otto Mathie.
The process of pasteurizing helps to
keep the beer in good condition. Bot
tied beer, put up by Mr.. Mathie's
pasteurizing process, has been kept for
year in excellent condition
The bottle brands of the Mathie Brew
ing company are the RED Ribbon"
and "Weisensteiner." These beers are,
after a process of brewing, stored in
the glass enameled tanks and from
there forced through the filter and then
taken to the bottling department and
put into bottles by means OF a revolv-
ing bottle beer filler and then put
through the pasteurizing process. This
gives beer for family and table use
that is mild, strictly pure and unexcelled
for medicinal purposes. 1t is very high
ly recommended for the debilitated or
those recovering from illness.
