MRS. SINGLE INJURED.

Mrs. Lydia Single was quite severely
injured Saturday forenoon by street
car. She was attempting to cross For
est street at the intersection of Fifth
and being deaf did not hear the car ap-
preaching. The motorman was of the
opinion that she intended to board the
car and consequently slowed down, in
tending to stop after he crossed Fifth
street. While crossing that street Mrs.
Single stepped in front of the car and
was caught in the fender and thrown
violently. The motorman Immediately
applied the brakes and stopped. Mrs.
Single was picked up, taken in the car
and removed TO the Office of DIR. ii. l..
Rosenberg. and later taken to the
home of her daughter, Mrs. w. G. Sill
verthorn, with whom she is living at
present. 1t was found that several of
her ribs were fractured and she is con-
siderably shaken up and bruised.
though her physician looks for an early
recovery and her many friends hope
she will not be confined to her bed long
Mrs. Single is known to every old resi-
dent of Wausau, and she has the SYM
patty of everyone in her present mis-
fortune.

LECTURE OF HON. H. A. COOPER.

All those who took advantage of the
opportunity to hear Hon. H. A. Cooper,
of Racine, congressman of the First con-
gressional district of Wisconsin, last
evening at the First Presbyterian
church, enjoyed literary treat and
were well repaid for their trouble. At
six o'clock banquet was given by the
Mems league in the dining room of the
church, to which the Mems club of the
nj. E. church was invited. Congress
man Cooper was the guest of honor.
He came here, upon invitation of the
MeE's league, to address them on that
evening and instead of talking at the
banquet table it was decided to have
the address given in the auditorium of
the church and to issue a general invi-
tation to the public. The church was
filled and the speaker was introduced
by Orlaf Anderson, president of the
Mems league. MIR. Cooper took for his
subject, "a Trip Around the World
With the Taft Party" and spoke for
two hours, giving very vivid, delight
full, unique and interesting description
of the trip from the time of leaving San
Francisco. First stopping at the
Hawiian islands; then on to Japan; the
Philippines; China and return home.
He was followed with the closest atten-
ton by his listeners and to hold large
audience as he did, for two hours, fully
demonstrates his ability as public
speaker. The address was filled with
humor and pathos and at times the
speaker waxed eloquent, especially
when he touched upon matters pertain
ing to our country, and he was fire.
quently applauded.
Whether one could agree with the
speaker or not, as to the course pursued
by our government upon the Philippine
question, all could and did enjoy the
talk as whole, outlining the trip of the
party; the receptions given; the visits
to the various Filipino tribes, etc.
AT the close of the address, Rev. SIN.
Wilson took occasion to thank Mr.
Cooper for his able address, and pro-
posed that he be made an honorary
member of the Mems club of the M. E.
church and Mems league of the Presby-
terrain church. The vote was IMAM
imous in favor of the motion. Rev.
Wilson also called for rising vote in
appreciation of the splendid address.

ORGANIZING FARME

j. III. Carnahan, of Black River Falls,
deputy state organizer for the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, was in the city
during the week, having come to
this section in the interests of his
society. A Mr.. Crawley, of Baraboo,
was assigned to this district, but could
not come, so Mr.. Carnahan took his
place and delivered an address before
the county board. MIR. Carnahan was
billed to speak at Seymour's hall in the
town of Wausau, Friday afternoon, and
at Taegeville, in the town of Berlin.
Saturday. At both places he stated the
objects of the society, which is to regu-
late prices and make them uniform
throughout the country, and to get cash
for farm products instead of store pay
Another object is to sell direct to the
consumer instead of the middleman.
Also to erect warehouses and hold farm
products until such time as they COM
mand fair prices. The society also
aims to exchange farm products of one
section with those of another. During
the coming year an effort will be made
to organize every town in the county.
Previous to Mr.. Carnahan's visit, eight
locals had been established in the
county

CONSCIENCE WORRIED HIM.

Dave Rousseau, fugitive from JUS
tice, presented himself at police head
quarters Friday night with the request
that he be locked up. On the night of
March "a, 1906, Rousseau and Paul
HOWE entered the saloon of Edward
Smith, in the northern part of the city,
and robber the cash drawer When the
bar tender opened the saloon and dis
covered them in the act of going
through the till they drove him out of
the saloon and then ran to the Stinch-
field creek sewer, which was in process
of building, and hid. HOWE was later
taken into custody and pleaded
guilty and was given year and half
in the Green Bay reformatory. Rous-
seau, when placed under arrest Friday
night, asked permission to plead guilty
Immediately and his request was grant
ed yesterday morning. He was SEN
fenced to fourteen months in the re-
formatory.
Since leaving Wausau he has been in
constant fear of arrest. Quite often he
has met people from Wausau in other
towns, whom he thought might expose
him, and the constant fear of arrest
preyed upon his mind until he decided
to give himself up.

LAY THE DUST.

The past week has been one of the
dustiest ones this city has ever ex-
perienced. The macadam streets are
covered with pulverized stone and this
with refuse, expectorations, ETC., is
ground into dust as fine as -four, by
heavy traffic wagons and other vehicles.
This dust and dirt has all been blown
into stores and houses the past week,
by the wholesale, all because the Wan
sau municipal ownership sprinkling
system has not seen hit to keep the
streets wet down. As the PILoT has
often said before, the people do not care
so much whether they have to pay 50
cents or sl.60 or 50 90 = lot for sprinkling
so long as the dust is kept down. 1t is
mistake to keep the sprinklers off the
streets just to save expense, might Just
as well not sprinkle at all, according to
such reasoning, and save all expense
along this line, some may say that the
water freezes on our streets and
make them slippery" There has not
been day this fall when the streets
could not have been sprinkled. If it
does make our streets too slippery then
oil should be used. There is no sense
in having our homes and business places
filed with dust, dirt and sickness. Be
sides. to have all the top dressing of our
streets blown of. leaving the bare rocks
is more expensive to the city than the
sprinkling for 3 whole season.

A CORRECTION.

EDITOR Pilot
think you are mistaken in. the his
torical writeup of Cutler Post, No. 90
You say the Post was organized in
1869. May be there was some kind OF
an organization among the old soldiers
of this vicinity at that time. do not
know. Was not living here at that
time. But Lysander Cutler Post, No.
55, was chartered Dec. 5, 1882, with the
following charter members j. A. kel-
logg, Ely Wright, W. B. Philbrick, DIR.
/. w. DeVoe, j. B. Vaughan, j. ID.
Womer, c. H. Mosher, l.. Swope, j. T.
Briggs, S. M. Quaw, Chilli Averill,
eleven members. 1t requires eleven
men to fill the offices. So you see,
there would be no members left to fill
the ranks of the private soldier. How
ever, by the time the charter was re-
ceived, and the first meeting of the
Post called, about dozen more had
become interested in the movement,
and were mustered in so that there
were about twenty-five members at the
start.
The organization Of Cutler Post was
the work of Gen. John A. Kellogg, at
one time commander of the Iron Bri-
gade. He suggested the name of Ly-
sander Cutler, who was also at one
time commander of the Iron Brigade.
A rule of the grand army forbids the
naming of any Post after living man.
So there were no Grant, or Sherman,
or Sheridan, or Thomas Posts, till after
those illustrious leaders had answered
their last roll call.
When the old vets of Amigo organ
lied their Post, they named it John A.
Kellogg Post, comrade Kellogg having
been mustered out of this world before
the time Post was organized at An
tigo. j. z. B.
