That is precisely what 1 did last Sun

When frst arraigned soon after
his arrest, Orchard stood mute in
court and the plea of not guilty was
entered by order of the court.
After questioning Orchard care
fully and learning from his own

portance and significance of the
step he wished to take. that he had
had everything minutely explain
ed to him by his attorney. that he
comprehended what his plea would
mean, Judge Wood gave him per-
to change his plea.

CITY COUNCIL.

At Friday nights meeting of the city
council the ordinance providing for an
issue of $4,000 worth of city bonds for
the purpose of providing better fire
protection for the city, was carried by
a unanimous vote. The ordinance to
bond the city in the sum S15, 900 for the
purpose of improving the water system,
was also passed by unanimous vote.
The mayor appointed Aldermen Wolf,
Roloff and Rifiemen a committee to
canvas the vote on the bond issue.
They reported figures as given else
where in this issue.
The council refused to pay the Wis
consin Telephone Co. for the use of the
latter's poles on the Town Liae road
in carrying fire alarm wires. The
council took this action because the
company has the use of the city's
streets, for which the city receives
nothing.
The committee on claims rec
commended that the sum of $500 and S12
monthly be offered Mrs. Delilah Pierce
in settlement of her suit for So, 900 dam
ages Mrs Pierce fractured both arms
in falling over broken sidewalk plank
on n. First Ave. year ago.

COMPLETE TABLE.

In this issue of the PILOT will be
found correct, condensed statement
of the result of last Tuesdays election.
The figures are taken from the tally
sheets of the board of canvassers and
are absolutely correct. The table is
more complete than any heretofore
published and is so condensed that it
can be put in scrap book for future
reference This our readers should do.
Put it away where you can ind 1t at
any time. You will want to refer to
two and four years from now
The getting up of such table as this
represents considerable labor and we
hope our readers will appreciate our
efforts. A study of this table is inter-
esIing. 1t shows in what portions of
the county each candidate was strong
est and where the other fellow had his
friends. The candidates themselves
will want to refer to it when about to it
make another campaign, if they con-
template such a move.

BASE BALL STANDINGS.

Last Sundays Milwaukee papers gave
the fielding averages of all the players
in the Wisconsin Illinois league.
Among the outfieiders Miller of Wau-
sau, ranks twentieth with a percentage
of $50. Among the first basemen,
Brady, of Wausau, is tied with Tracy, of
La Crosse for second place with 1884 to
his credit. Moll's figures for second
and third base are decidedly off as far
as Wausau's players are concerned.
He gives manager Ferguson credit for
a percentage of 959 as second base
men in AZ games and does not mention
Fox in that position. He gives Fox
credit of 1913 as a third baseman in 107
games and McAuley 1926 in the same
position in lis games. a total of 222
games, whereas Wausau only played
l26 games. Again the woodenhead.
Among the shortstops he places Beu-
miller last with percentage of $780,
Among the catchers Wausau ranks
fourth, giving Erickson 9S5 in, 112
games.
In the pitching staff Lang is first in
the Wausau club, ranking fourth in the
league. In 80 games played he had a
fielding average of 9S2 Danbar ranked
twentieth with an average of $50.
Dooner was third with an average of
.936 in 81 games played. Bartos fielded
percentage of .93l. Fox played the
third base position nearly all season.
Ferguson played Fox's position only
while the latter was laid up with a
wounded knee and while McAuley had
a bad ankle, yet President Mol, appar-
emily gives him credit for playing the
whole season or else Wausau was short
a second baseman 70 games, which is
all the more to the credit of Wausau, it
winning the pennant with only two in
fielders. On the other hand Moll cred
its Fox as third in the league among
third baseman with a percentage of
1888 in 107 games and at the same time
he gives McAuley percentage of 1926
in the same position for lis games-a
total of 222 games for the two. Among
the shortstops Buemiller of Wausau is
last with percentage of 800. Erickson
of Wausau ranks fourth among the
catchers with percentage of 1856.
1t is rumored that the Minneapolis
team has drafted Catcher Erickson of
the Wausau club. This, if true, will
mean serious loss to the Wausau club
