likely to be improved, and so long as
we occupy the islands under a colonial

yet the Filipinos point to the Benguet

WAUSAU FIGURES IN MUSS.

The faculty of the Wisconsin univer-
sity is at present stirred up over an
effort being made to depose w "A Henry,
dean of the agricultural college. The
charges brought out denote bad state
of affairs. One of the charges is that
Dean Henry has exercised too much
control of matters not within his juris-
diction and in the squabble a Wausau
affair comes in for prominent part.
During the first week of September,
1908, at the time of holding a combina-
ton sale of Shorthorn and Red Polled
cattle in this city, Prof w. L. Carlyle,
of the college, who acted as a stock
judge at our county fair, was honored
by banquet given in the Bells hotel.
Dean Henry was also present at the
banquet as an invited guest. Those in
possession of inside history knew at
that time that there was considerable
friction between the two Mr.. Carlyle
was about to leave the college, after
long years of valuable service. His
resignation was due, it was said, to the
petty animosity of Dean Henry, his
clerk and Farm Supt. Adams. The
stockmen thought it a fitting time to
show their appreciation of the work he
had done in the state, and for that
reason mainly the banquet was given.
There was large attendance, many
pleasant remarks regarding Mr..
Carlyle were made by prominent speak
ers, and at the conclusion he was
presented with a handsome gold watch.
Now it is alleged that after that meet
ing Dean Henry sent Prof. r. A. Moore
to Milwaukee for the express purpose
of suppressing any newspaper account
of the Wausau banquet and he was sue
cessful in doing so. 1t is further said
that Dean Henry feared Prof. Carlyle
might get too much praise and that he
might tell why he was forced to resign.
Wausau people who krow some OF
the facts regarding the part Dean Henry
took in the matter of locating the Home
for Feeble Minded, when this city tried
to secure the home, will not shed any
tears if the dismissal of Mr.. Henry
should be announced.

INITIATE THE CAM Ell.

There is talk at Madison of start
ing university club but the project is
halting because the promoters are
divided on the subject of a bar. Some
hold that it cannot be run without bar
as its revenue is needed for support.
In comment. the Journal says that Wau-
sau has one of the most successful clubs
in the state and has no bar, that it is all
in getting used to it.-Merrill Advocate.

one horse wagon be purchased for the
east side fire department.
The committee which had the petit
ton under consideration, reported
favorably on loaning the city's road
roller to the village of Schofeld early
in May. Objection was raised on the
grounds that the incoming council and
city officers might want to begin street
work in the city at that time. 1t was
finally agreed to leave the matter with
the board of public works.
Mrs. Bertha Kuhlman, who was in
jured in December by stepping on
nail protruding from the sidewalk in
front of Albers' west side drug store,

VIM. Wright, brakeman on the
Northwestern Ry., suffered the ampu-
tation of his right foot Thursday
through an injury received in attempt
ing to alight from moving train. The
train was coming from Marshfeld and
when it had reached the Third avenue
crossing Mr. Wright jumped off, in
tending to go home. He lives on the
west side and by getting off at the
crossing it saved him walking back
from the depot. He had often got off
at the crossing before, without any
accident Detailing him, but on Thurs
day he slipped in the soft snow and his
right leg was thrown under the wheels
He was Immediately taken to st. Mary's
hospital, where the amputation was
performed, the foot and ankle being
taken off. The young man has been
employed by the road for several years,
first as baggage man in the depot and
later as brakeman.

Several parties in this city remember
OF having received letters some time
ago from Abner B. Grant, 216 West
10th ST., New York, in reference to
green goods" The sender informed
people that he had stolen plates from
the U. S. mint and could produce bills
of various denominations which would
pass inspection in any bank and would
sell large quantities at reduced figure.
The PILOT, when it mentioned the
receipt of these letters at the time, was
of the opinion that the game was so old
that it could not be worked successfully
anywhere in Wisconsin, but it appears
we were mistaken. Last week Frank
Lengfeld, a Sheboygan grocer, was
taken in. He received an express pack
age G. o. d. $780, He paid the money,
took his package home and opened it
and found it 20 contain nothing but
railroad time tables and old newspapers
and then he squealed. He claims he
was to receive "modep' from Abner
1t will probably be model lesson for
him.
A very enthusiastic meeting Of base
ball men was held last Tuesday even
ing in Stevens Point, the meeting being
addressed by John Powers, president
of the Wisconsin league, who explained
the methods for organizing a club for
entry into the league. Many promi-
nent business men were present and
base ball association was temporarily
organized which will be made per-
manent and Stevens Point may
become member of the league
From Stevens Point, Mr.. Powers
went to Eau Claire where he
addressed another meeting on Wednes-
day evening. IN the latter city he so
stirred up base ball enthusiasts that a
temporary organization was likewise
formed and it is also quite probable
that that city will ask for n franchise
in the league. From the present out
look the Wausau club will profit to the
extent of $500 on the sale of it's auto
mobile. Fond du Lac people are back
ward about raising the $1,000 necessary
to get into the league and probably will
not be admitted
