DIVE RSIFICATION
 AT

a meeting of the board of education the other evening caused quite a sensation in our political association. Alderman Scully went to preside at d meeting of the above school board few evenings ago, and while he was simply doing his duty he was told he wasn't wanted, and he en- tered protest and performed what is known as a "skiddoo.' We'll, the writer of this ad thinks MT Scully will be very glad when his term of office is ended, because he's had pretty rough swimming since he took his office as chairman of the aldermen: but he seems to come out on top every time, Now, some day he'll get left. For instance, he took the mayors place in opening the base ball season last week. Well, well, if you'd see him pitch the first ball, you'd say he certainly did not represent Mayor Thoms that day. If 1t was anyone but the red umpire who caught the ball Mir s. would have been q dead alderman. Any man who tries to pitch a ball over the base and doesn't get within 10 F feet of it is no ball player. Say, we give balls, bats, gloves, etc, with our tea and coffee, and this week we give one-half dozen white cups and saucers with pound of Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound, at

PETER SICARD.

Peter Sicard, one of the earliest pio-
neers and well known men of the
county. died May 10 at his home in the

result of paralytic stroke suffered
about three years ago. For some years
prior to his death he had been totally
blind.
Deceased was born in Three Rivers,
Can, March 81, 1885. He attended
school there with Jos. Dessert, the two
ever since being warm acquaintances.
Mr.. Sicard settled in Mosinee in 1855 and
that village had been his home ever
since. He followed numbering up to
1882 and then embarked in the mer-
camille business, but after year had to
give it up on account of failing eye
sight. He was united in marriage to
Miss Charlotte Mitchell in Amherst in
1867 and three children were born of
that union, A. N, of Ft. Smith, Ark; o.
L., residing in Oklahoma, and Mrs. M.
E. LaDu, of Mosinee.
For many years he held the Office of
town and village treasurer and was a
ran who was held in the highest esti-
nation by all who knew him.
The funeral was held Thursday from
the residence, Rev. Jaquith officiating
and it was one of the largest ever con-

FINDS FORTUNE IN A SOCK

A remarkable discovery was made
on Wednesday of last week when Mrs.
Rose Tovey Doyle discovered upwards
of $3.50 in bills and coin tied up in a
sock in the attic of an old house on the
Tovey farm at Stockton station. This
old house was erected many years ago
opposite the postoffice at Stockton sta
ton. After the late James Tovey
erected the large and handsome home
now occupied by the family the house
stood vacant for many years except as
occasionally occupied by some tran
sient resident of village. Later it was
removed to the rear of the Tovey home
and used for summer kitchen. A
short time ago it was decided to join
it onto the main residence. While
'rummaging among the trash of the
attic, Mrs. Doyle gave the sock a toss
to one side and was surprised to hear
it jingle. She picked it up again and
discovered it contained roll of bills
and some coins, the whole amounting
to little upwards of $3.50. 1t is sup
posed that the money must have been
hid there by grandmother of the
family who died many years ago at an
advanced age. She was little childish
and forgetful toward the last, a condi-
ton which probably accounts for the
strange resting place of the money all
these years. There was only a small
door leading up to the attic and this
probably accounts for the rubbish not
having been handled over more often
in the past.-Stevens Point Journal

APPROPRIATIONS.

Congressman Morse last Friday se-
cured an appropriation for starter on
a government building for Merrill;
81, 500 was appropriated for site and
now we may look for the most exciting
scrap that ever took place in our sister
city. To avoid this, the Pnor would
suggest that half dozen sites be num-
bered. and the Numbers placed in hat,
shaken up and the last number drawn
be chosen as the site. This will save
lots cs trouble and harsh sayings that
win not look nice in print
Stevens Point also received an approp-
riation of s65.co0 for government
building. Throughout the state. the
amount to be received figures up to
nearly . half . million dollars.

DIED BY HER OWN HAND.

Coroner w. C. Dickens and Under
sheriff John Sell were called to Spencer
Wednesday to investigate the death of
Mrs. Henry Mon whose husband found
her that morning lying with bullet
hole in the head. The coroner after
learning the facts, decided that an in
quest was unnecessary.
They for year past had been living
on farm east of the village. They
were married two gears ago, and like
many other people their married life
had its ups and downs. The husband
states that they often quarreled but
never violently. She appears to have
been a peevish, fretful woman, easily
excited and imagining that her husband
was absenting himself from home too
much. These deductions are drawn
from statements by her husband, her
parents and other relatives and neigh
bors. The couple had quarreled on
Tuesday evening and again on the
morning of the tragedy. The man has
peen WorklDg In saw mill In the vii
lage and when he started for work that
morning she asked him 20 stay home.
He informed her that he must work.
He had gone but short distance from,
the house when he heard shot and
summoning neightor the two went
into the home and found the woman
lying on the floor, with blood flowing
from wound in her head and .32
calibre revolver lying by her side. A
physician was summoned, but the
woman lived only short time.
She was twenty-five years OF age, and
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs j. A. Dicken-
son, highly respected residents of that
section. The funeral was held Satur-
day.

TO BUILD in MERRILL.

The PILOT short time ago announced
the fact that Paul Gebert had resigned
as president of the Northern Milling
Co., and from active interest in the
affairs of that institution. Since then
he has decided to locate in Merrill The
Lincoln Milling and Elevator Co. has
been Incorporated with capital stock
OF S35, 600. Associated with Mr.. Gebert
in the enterprise will be Jacob and Leo
Gensman of this city. The officers Of
the organization will be Mr.. Gebert,
president; Jacob Gensman, vice presi-
dent; Leo. Gensman, secretary and
treasurer
Merrill has been without grist mill
for some time, much to the inconveni-
ence of farmers having grain products
to sell. A short time ago some business
men started a movement to build
mill, and $4,000 had been subscribed
toward the project. A meeting was
recently called to discuss the matter
and Mr.. Gebert appeared before the
meeting and presented a proposition,
of which the Merrill Advocate says:
1T was straight forward, business
proposition and briefly was this That
upon the assurance of the hearty CO.
operation and good will of the citizens
OF Merrill and the rel;nquishment of
the present project, he with others inn
mediately interested, would build
complete, modernly equipped Touring
mill its approximate cost to be S35, 900
and have it in operation within ninety
days. 1t is needless to say that his
proposition was accepted and that the
loyal support of Merrill citizens will be
given him. Mr. Gebert has studied the
situation carefully and believes that
Merrill offers an exceptional field for a
milling project. The local subscribers
willingly relinquished their interests,
MIR. Gebert having signified his willing.
ness to finance it alone''
In addition to the above the Merrill
Star of later date says:
Contracts have been let for the mill
machinery and power. The power is
to be what is known as producer gas
power,-a gasoline engine that pro-
duces its own gas as it uses it.
IldhS anu SpeclHcatlOnS IOr Inc
building will be ready the first of next
week, when advertisements for bids
will be inserted in the local papers,
and local contractors will be given the
preference where possible.
The location decided upon is the
west side of Genesse street, north of
the railroad track, on the site of the
Wright Lumber Co.'S old dry kiln, thus
having the benefit of the spur track for
loading and unloading of cars, which
is an item of much Importance
"Mr. Gebert expects to have the
plant running by Sept. lst, if it is a
possible thing"
The company received its charter
last Thursday and it is expected that
before many weeks pass active building
operations will be under way. 1t is the
intention of the concern to carry on a
general milling and grain business. AS
soon as contractors are ready to begin
building, Messrs. Gebert and Leo Gens-
man and their families will move to
Merrill.

COUNTY ENJOINED.

A summons was served Saturday
upon r. FL. Juedes, county treasurer,
to appear within twenty days in munich
pal court and defend an action entitled
John Golz VS.. Marathon County and
Robt. ii. Juedes, as County Treasurer
of said Marathon County.
The plaintiff alleges in bis complaint
that he is the owner of the ne Sc, NV Sc
and Sc Sc of section "a, town 20, range
8. That each of these descriptions of
land were assessed at S455, which he
claims is ont of proportion to their true
value. The complaint AYERS:
That the said assessor knowingly
and willfully and fraudulently, and with
the intention and design of compelling
the plaintiff to pay more than his just
proportion of said taxes to be paid in
saId town for said year 1907, assessed
and valued the said lands largely in ex-
cess OF the true, just and equitable value
thereof for taxation, and largely in ex-
cess of the assessed value of any and all
other property in said town in said year
belonging to and owned by parties
other than the plaintiff, as compared
with plaintiffs said lands, and know
ingly, willfully, fraudulently and de-
signedly over assessed and over-valued
said lands owned by the plaintiff,
as compared with the other lands
IN said town in said year, and
assessed and valued all the lands
In said town, except the lands
OF the plaintiff, at much less than the
actual assessable value, or the value
which ordinarily could be obtained for
them at private sale, and that there
were not any of the lands in said town
In sid year assessed at their correct
and true value"
The complainant further states that
he made protest to the town board
and that the board arbitrarily raised
the assessors figures on each descrip-
ton $345, thereby making the total
assessment on each, $500. The COM
plainant refused to pay his taxes and
the town treasurer returned the descrip-
tions to the county treasurer as delin-
quent, and the same hsve been duly
advertised as such in the PILOT, to-
gether with other lands which went
into the tax sale today. In addition to
the taxes on the property there is due
Sl0.96 interest and charges on each
description.
The county, through its treasurer, is
cited to show cause why it should not
be enjoined from issuing any tax certif-
icates upon the land. The complain
ant lives about three and one-half miles
east of the city on cross road running
from the Mcintosh to the Smith road.
He is considered wealthy farmer, but
it is said, has made more or less trouble
for the assessors of his town in the past
several years. Fred Paulus is the man
who made the assessment and has held
Office for several years without opposi
ton. Other farmers living in the town
have made no complaints about his
assessment of their property. The CON-
plainant has engaged the law firm of E.
l.. & F. +. Bump GO prosecute his action.
