GYMNASTIC EXHIBITION.


The sixth annual gymnastic exhibition
given by the Y. M. G. A. in the opera
house last Friday evening can lay claim
to one thing-it was the best attended
and most pleasing and successful enter
tainment of the kind yet given by the
association. Perhaps little more time
was spent in preparing for it than is
usually given, or perhaps the manage
ment has profited by experience. At
any rate a mafked improvement was
noted. Financially it proved a winner
to the association, whereas in other
years money has been lost or at least
none made ON such enterprises.
The first number, pole drill and blind
folded pillow fight and pick-a- back,
wrestling by 2S small boys of the
Juniors, was very good.
In the second number 20 boys of the
Senior-Juniors passed through the
evoutions of wand drill with grace
fitness which can only come from care
ful training Miss Clara Roach played a
piano accompaniment for this number
and also the pole drill.
To the Juniors is also due credit for
the way they performed military evolu-
tons in the third number
Nine of the Senior-Juniors, Salzman,
Ramsdale, Rasmussen, McGee, Wells,
Mehl, w. Foster, James and Livingston
gave very creditable performance at

panied by Prof Hoyt.

way of horse pyramids.
Theodore Kohl in green acrobatic

performed ground tumbling feats.
This was advanced work and some of it
would do credit to a professional per-
former
audience was startled by a eommotion
at the rear and rising from seats to
ascertain the cause, an old hayseed was
seen coming in. He marched up TO the
stage and then began a monologue
which entertained the young element
present. He proved to be Clinton Bis
marck.
During the execution of the program
l.. M. Larson performed most of the
clown work; DIR. John Mathews was the
Happy Hooligan; Jack Burt and Carl
Lemke the katZenjammer kids, and w
I'll. Norman, the straw man of the Wiz
ard of Booze. The program was short
and interesting throughout
Indoor work in the gymnasium closed
with this exhibition. Owing to the fact
that the new building is going up on
the grounds used heretofore for outdoor
work, the association is without field,
ont arrangements are being made to
secure suitable grounds Swimming
classes viii be organized later as will
also a public school base ball league,
under the auspices of the association,
and Sunday school athletic league.

The Marathon County Agricultural
society has offered the use of its track
on the fair grounds to Wausau horsemen
during the summer. The horsemen's
association recently organized will take
advantage of the offer.
The Wausau base ball leaguers will
play game of indoor base ball with
picked team of the Y. M. &. A. in the
latter's gymnasium tomorrow evening.
The directors of the base ball team have
made arrangements with the Y. M. G.
A. management to give ball players the
use OF the gymnasium at certain times
i'll the day for practice until the weather
warns up Also the use of the baths.
This is quite an accommodation to the
team.
Prof c. G. Parlin entertained a large
gathering of people at a meeting of the
Mems league of the NJ E. church last
evening, when he delivered another of
his popular Illustrated lectures on his
trip through Europe last summer. He
spoke of scenes in Northern Italy and
carried his audience over part of the
route he had taken, and described the
sights and conditions of Italian life in
such graphic manner that better in
sight of the life of the Italian was secured
than is possible in reading any descrip-
ton of it. 1t proved one of the most in
structive and entertaining numbers yet
given as part of the popular lyceum
course.
Certain changes, mentioned in the
PILOT some weeks ago, will be made in
the First National bank next week.
The fixtures will be remodeled and the
teller's cage moved forward so as to
give more working room to the en-
ployes. Instead of one cage, as there is
now, there will be three, making it pos
sible to employ two tellers on busy
days. The oxidized copper screen
guards have been sent below to have
them re-finished in polished brass. The
paneled wood supports for these are
being made in one of our local factories
and marble base plate will surround
the vestibule.
This is the last day of April and May
is gladly welcomed. April, this year,
has been a peculiar month. The record
kept by Henry Belize, weather clerk,
shows that during the month the aver
age minimum temperature was % above
0. The rainfall was | 90 inches and
total of nearly two feet of snow fell.
There were only II clear days; IL cloudy
and Z partly cloudy. On IS days
the wind was from the north or north
west. The thermometer showed 60 de-
grees above 0 only once during the
month. 1t has been great many years
since we had another April which
equalled this one. There is no sign of
buds on trees and it is noticed that
birds have delayed building their nests.

SOLD OUT.

The Marathon County Dairy Co. has
sold its plant north Sixth street to
the Kiefer Cold Storage Co, the sale
taking place yesterday. The plant and
stock hand brought nearly 81 600.
Several years ago it was thought that
it wonld be a good thing to start dairy
company and furnish pasteurized milk,
butter and ice cream to our citizens.
For various reasons the milk business
was not a success and it was discon-
tinued, but the plant has continued to
make butter and ice cream and did
good business. 1t was necessary for
the Cold Storage company to have a
creamery and there was not room for
two, hence the sale. The Cold Storage
company will take charge at once

DEATH OF MISS PRADT.

On Friday morning, at . O'Clock,
April Goth, 1907, Miss Charlotte j
Pradt died at her home, 9Ol Seventh
street, after brief illness For some
time she had been slightly troubled
with her heart, though it was nothing
which caused her or her relatives or
friends any uneasiness For one of her
age, she had been exceedingly strong
and well, at all times being able to go
about the city and to visit friends
One week ago last Wednesday she
attended a meeting of ST. Martha's
Guild of st. Johns church, of which
she was a member; on Thursday she
went down to the public library and

sister, Mrs. S. b. Boseman. She was
there during the civil war and was
among those who experienced the trials
and sufferings incident to those times
When Sherman's army marched to the
sea, it passed by the Boseman home A
history of the civil war, as viewed by
one living in the very midst of its earn
age and bloodshed, was written by her
and it is among her effects. She was a
versatile writer and wrote much for the
press, especially during the war time
Her education included music and TO
that she devoted'a great deal of her life,
becoming an instructor in early life.
After her sisters death, deceased went to
Vicksburg, where she lived until she
came here in 1891, to reside with her
brother, Chas. Pradt Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Pradt passed away and since
then she has resided at the old home

who knew her.

EMPLOYERS ORGANIZE.

Manufacturers and employers of
labor met Friday evening in the club
house for the purpose of forming some
kind of an organization to protect their
interests against the encroachments of
organized labor and to promote spirit
of friendliness between employer and
employee. The Citizens association is
the result This stand was taken partly
as a result of the action of the box
makers union the day before in sub
hitting scale of prices to the box
manufacturers and demanding that
contract be drawn up in each factory,
recognizing the union, etc
After considerable discussion in which
nearly everyone present expressed him
self it was voted TO organize and the
following was adopted:
1.-The objects of the Citizens associa-
ton are:
''To perpetuate the present prosper
Gus and peaceful condition of the EN-
ployes and employers of the city of
Wausau and to promote the stability of
y
labor, whether organized or morgan
lied, by encouraging friendly relations
between employers and employees, and
to discourage iockouts, strikes and
boycots and all kindred movements
which SAVIOR of persecution.
10 protect its members and the con
munity at large, and all persons who
desire TO work. from unlawful inter
ferences and the evil effects of lockonts,
strikes and boydots, and all similar
movements unnecessarily and unreason-
ably interfering with trade and busi
ness.
ITO protect IFS members in their in
allenable right to manage their husi-
ness in such lawful manner as they
deem proper, without domination or
coercion by any organized movement
against such right.
ITO consider any other matters which
may pertain Ia the welfare of the city
and country"
Officers were elected as follows:
Presidential. +. Schroeder, of the
Werhem Mfg. Co
Secretary-W II. Thorn, of the Wan
sau Fixture and Furniture Co.
Treasurer-O c. Lemke, of the
Underwood Veneer Co.
The box factory owners have made
reply to the union in which they state
that while they recognize the right of
every laboring man to join labor
union or any other organization, still
they will not enter into any contract
with labor union, but will run their
business themselves as they have hereto
fore done. They state further that they
are willing to adjust any differences and
consider any reasonable requests and
hope that friendly relations between
employer and employee will continue.
What the union will do now we are
not in a position to state, but no strike
or further trouble is anticipated.
