ANNUAL CONVENTION.

The annurl convention of the Wis
conSin Buttermakers association will be
held in Wausau, Feb. So
The premium fund to be awarded on
the pro-rat plan to all makers having
butter at the convention scoring go
points or over is the largest ever offer
ed by any state organization, viz:
Sl139.42 This fund will be distributed
as soon as the scoring of the butter is
finished, which is done in the presence
of the maker if present, in order that
the Judge and critic may explain where
in the faults, If any, lay. This feature
is distinctively a Wisconsin one, hav-
ing been first tried at the first Wiscon
sin convention.
The program is full of topics that
are interesting and timely, and no
creameryman or buttermaker who has
the welfare of his business at heart can
afford to stay away.
The railroads are granting a fare and
and a third on the certificate plan from
all points within the state and Chicago
to all attending the convention. Be
sure and get receipt for money paid
from the agent at your starting point.

The address delivered at the funeral by
Rev. f. II. Brigham pastor of the M. Z

things in this world, there was one
thing we could not argue out of our
minds, and which was absolutely sure
to overtake us all sooner or later and
that was death, and the writer would
say the way that many live on would
lead one to think that the meaning of

INTERESTING, INSTRUCTIVE.

Mr.. H. j. Evans was unfortunate
enough Wednesday evening to have
another mishap with his electrical in
struments, when delivering his lecture
on wireless Telegraphy," but not seri-
Gus enough, but what he could demon
strate the principles of that wondrous
discovery. The M. F.. church, where
the lecture was given, was flled with
people, eager to hear and have demon
strated to them the subject above
named. Very few of the persons pres.
ent perhaps, have made study of wire
less telegraphy and consequently all
that was told them and the demonstra-
tions given was knowledge newly ac-
CURED
Mr. Evans, in plain terms, explained
the principles in such lucid way that
everyone of any intelligence whatever
was enabled to grasp the ideas and
when the lecture closed, know the ele-
ments which produce wireless telegra-
ply. The principles were made so
clear to them that each one went home
with the conviction in his mind that
wireless telegraphy is really, after all,
not such a mysterious and fathomless
subject. 1t is merely founded upon
the principle of the tuning fork, an in
strument as old as Rib hill, and this
principle is applied with supplemental
twentieth century invention and made
of practical use in the commercial
world
Mr.. Evans has made searching
study of this subject and therefore is
enabled to greatly entertain an audience,
in an instructive way, for whole even
ing. 1t is such lectures as this, upon
topics of every day interest which are
beneficial to the people, especially the
rising generation.
He has been asked by the Knights of
Columbus to repeat the lecture before
the members of that society and no
doubt will do so at some early date

A WORD FROM THE SOUTH.

Chas. L. Gillian, who resides in New
Orleans, but whose home, until a few
years ago, was in the frozen north, Gin
the winter time,) writes friend of the
heather conditions down there at the
present time He says:
Our winter weather, up to the past
few days has been very mild, ranging
from 20 to so above. The straw berries
and peach trees are all in blossom and
in some localities they have ripe
berries. Excepting the last few nights,
we have had to sleep under bar in
order to keep the mosquitoes from
chewing us up. We are in hopes that
the weather win stay cool enough from
now on to rid US of those pests if moth
ing more"
just think of it, strawberries and
summer weather at this season of the
year, But, then, we have no mosqui-
toes.

AMERICAN BALLADS co.

The American Ballads company gave
an entertainment in the assembly room
of the high school building last Friday
evening before large audience. 1t
was given under the auspices of the
Home and Education department of
the Ladies' Literary club. The enter
tainment was very good one in every
respect, all of those taking part ac-
quilted themselves with credit. The
company was not the same as the one
which visited Wausau in November,
1905. There was a change in the eel
loist, and in the sopranist, and violin
list was in the place of the harpist. This
happened, probably, too late to
make a change in the advertising The
piano numbers by Miss Davidson were
especially pleasing to the audience. 1t
was very successful concert, and quite
neat sum was added to the school
fund

DEATH OF MRS. H. S. HASELTINE.

On Sunday evening, January 9th,
the relatives in this city received word
of the death of Mrs. H. S. Haseltine, of
Berkeley, California This was great
shock to all the relatives and friends in
this community, as no word had been
received of her illness. MIR. and Mrs.
Haseltine resided in Scholfield for
many years, the former being manager
of the saw mill in that town. They
later moved to Wausau and remained
here until they went 10 California
about twenty years ago.
Deceased was an aunt of w. B.
Scholfeld, Mrs. G. W Harger and Miss
Margaret Scholfield. her maiden name
was Laura c. Smith, and she was born
in Union Springs, n. Y, July II, 1850.
She was united in marriage to Harvey
5. Haseltine in New Sharon, Iowa, in
November, 1875, who survives her.
Five children are also left to mourn her
loss.

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

The PILoT has always advocated the
patronizing of our home merchants
and home industries wherever it can
be done. 1t should be the duty of
every one living in Marathon county
to put themselves out to do this. 1t
helps the home merchant and producer,
who in turn helps the community
and aids materially in its prosperity.
The mailing houses of the large cities
are menace. They are taking thou
sands of dollars away from every city
and village and it is time to begin an
agitation that will cut off their trade.
1t is safe to say that our home mer-
chants can give better goods, at less
prices than these working houses. The
Pilot has arranged for a number of
articles upon this question which it
earnestly hopes will be read carefully
by its subscribers. Not only read them
but also put into practice what truths
may be found. There is no great
fault can be found with a person who
sends away for that which is not
carried by his home merchant, but the
man who in no way tries to satisfy
himself and will persistently patronize
mail houses instead of his home mer-
chants, certainly deserves to be ignored
in all OF his undertakings and his bust
ness life should prove failure Read
the articles in the Pilot and Patronize
Home Merchants and Home Industries.

TO PREVENT FRAUD, ETC.

The U. S. land office, of this city, has
received instructions from the Secre-
tary of the Interior that to prevent the
fraud now practiced in the acquisition
of public lands of the United States,
hereafter no final certificate, patent, or
other evidence of title shall be issued
under the public land laws until an
actual examination has been made on
the ground by an authorized officer of
the government. There are few ex-
ceptions such as where complainants
compliance with the law has been estab-
hshed by contest; entries which may
have been confirmed byvirtue of an act of
congress; entries in which no residence
or improvement is required by law;
cases of resistance of patents and In
dian allotments.

ALL ARE SATISFIED.

Wausau people for the first time in
several years are getting the benefit OF
good water at present. 1t has the taste
and appearance of spring water and
there is likelihood that next summer,
when it can be given "a fair test, it will
be nearly as cold as spring water.
Those who hit upon the plan of the
drive well system are to be commend
ed. The plan has given the city good
water, even if the old growth in the
Lipes is not cleaned out and there is
strong hope that in time it will be-.
While only fourteen, or a little over
one-third of the thirty-six drive wells
have been connected, the results dur
ing the present cold spell, when so
much water is pumped daily, demon
strate that there is an ample supply for
ordinary needs. OF course if large
fire should break out, it might be
necessary to draw a supply from the
old well or the river. But with all
wells connected it is hardly likely that
this will be necessary.
No doubt by spring it can be deter
mined whether or not the present
supply is dissolving the substance in
the pipes. If it is, frequent flushings no
doubt will eventually clean them. At
any rate the growth will be stopped
and everybody is pleased that good,
wholesome, pleasant tasting water is
being supplied.
Dealers who have been handling
bottled spring waters inform us that
the demand has greatly fallen off since
the drive well water has been pumped
through the mains.

THE GEFLUEGEL ZUECHTER.

Zuechter," the only German poultry
journal in the United States. The Der
Gefuegel-Zuechter Pub. Co. at Ham
burg, Marathon Co, Wis, is the pub
Usher The book is well gotten up and
consists of Y pages, and a nice blue
cover, and contains many valuable
hints, etc, making it valuable book
for Germans interested in these animals.
The price is only p cents, but to sub
scribers of the Der Gefiuegel-Z uech-
ter" who pay their subscription in adj
vance, it is furnished free of cost. 1t
appears to be worth the price and more
too. and we urge our German friends to
send for one.

INCREASE OF CAPITAL STOCK.

Last Saturday the Wisconsin Box
company increased its capital stock to
S210, 10000 and has acquired the entire
timber holdings and property of the
Wausau Land company. This gives
the box company large amount of
timber which insures its life for good
many years. The Wisconsin Box COM
pany was organized in 1900 and since,
its growth has been steady and highly
satisfactory to all concerned. The
Wausau Land company was organized
two years ago, for the purpose of pur
chasing timber lands and supplying
the box company with lumber with
which to manufacture its output.
1t has been found expedient to merge
the two concerns at this time.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The basketball team defeated the
Wittenberg academy team by a score
of SO to Is last Friday night at Witten-
berg
The Wausau boys started off with a
rush, scoring four baskets before the
Academy knew what was happening
After that the Acadamy scored from a
field throw. The Wausau bunch again
went after the Acadamy and the first
half ended with score of 10 to in
favor of Wausau.
The second half was a repetition of
the first half, Wittenberg scoring only
one field basket, but making seven
free throws. The High school on the
other hand made IS points in an easy
fashion, the final score being SO to To-
Neither the forwards or the center of
our team had very good eye for the
basket, for they all missed some very
easy shots Campbell and Jones, the
guards, on the other hand were the
stars of the game. Following is the

at masquerade banquet last Friday
night, in honor of the Misses Margaret

which the guests went home. Follow
ing is the list of those present:
Iona Nickerson Pearl Nickerson

The concert given by the American
Ballads company was excellent. The
only fault that could be found was
with the attendance. People should
realize that these affairs given by the
Literary club are not for the clubs
benefit, but for the benefit OF the city
schools.
The basketball team will go to Grand
Rapids next Friday, where it will play
the high school team of that place.
There was short lyceum program
given last Friday. S. Heinemann be-
ing absent Halle Haskins acted as

The Grip.

Before W can sympathize with others,
we must have suffered ourselves" No
one can realize the suffering attendant
upon an attack of grip, unless he has
had the actual experience. There is
probably no disease that causes so much
physical and mental agony. or which so
successfully defies medical aid. All
danger from the grip, however, may be
avoided by the prompt use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this rem
edy, not one case has ever been reported
that has resulted in pneumonia or that
has not recovered. For sale by w. w.
