PETER SMITH.

Peter Smith died last Thursday at his
home, 207 Sumner Ave, after suffering
for some time from stroke of paralysis
The funeral was held Thursday after
noon from the Baptist church, Rev.
t. b. t. Fisher, pastor of the Universal
ist church, conducting the services.
Deceased was born in Wayne county,
Pa, March %, 1928, so that ct the time
of his death he was nearly eighty years
of age. His early life was spent in
blacksmithing and numbering opera
tions in his native state. In 1S49 he
was married to Miss Minerva Young in
his home county in Pennsylvania. In
1880 he moved to Rochester, Mimi,
living there two years and then coming
to Wausau. This city had been his
home ever since. Since coming to this
city, until old age infirmities came on,
MIR. Smith was engaged in the lumber
ing and real estate business
Decedent was man held in the high
est esteem by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. and his friends ex-
tend their sympathy to the bereaved
family at this hour.
Besides his wife he is survived by
eight children as follows: L. j. Smith,
town of Weston; Mrs. Oliver Legg,
city; Mrs. w. Gavitt, Kelly; j. w.
Smith, Mayville, n D.; Mrs. s. Gavitt,
Kelly; Mrs Ed Lille, Kelly; Mrs. Geo
Lille, city; Frank Smith, city. He also
leaves forty grand children and
eleven great grand children.
The pail beares were his grand sons.

NEED OF MONEY.

Only a little over one-half of the
city's taxes have beer paid up to date
and since last Friday, on what money
has been paid in, a two per cent fee has
been charged, making the tax more
burdensome. By mutual arrangement
between the treasurers the city treas
urer has turned over to the county
treasurer part OF the state tax, because
it is required TO meet the county's ex-
penses and is not needed by the city
and must eventually be turned over
anyway. This, with what the county
treasurer has received so far from the
several towns, has been used to meet
current expenses. The county
treasury has been almost empty for
several weeks. The board, at its last
session, or rather the committee on
finance, did not deem it advisable to
make loan from one of the banks,
because it was thought sufficient num-
ber of town and village treasurers
would make returns shortly, which
would carry expenses along.
The belief appears general that the
number of delinquent tax payers in the
city and county this year will be larger
than last year. In 1907 although there
were flush times, the number was
greater than in 1906, for some un-
accountable reason.

CONTESTED DIVORCE.

A contested divorce case was on trial
in circuit court part II last week.
Mrs. Elizabeth X ohnhorst of the town
of Wausau, was the complainant and
her husband, William, was the defend
ant and contestant. The contest arose
over division of the property. 1t
appears that at the time they were mar
ried Kohnhorst, who was possessed OF
120 acres of land, decided one forty to
his wife. This she claimed rs part OF iileI
share in the division of taeir property,
but Kohnhorst alleged that at the time
he decided the property to his wife il
was with the stipulation that should
their marital ties ever be severed the
title to the land was to revert back to
him. The woman had q family OF
children by former husband at the
time she married kohnhorst and there
is also another family of childrea in the
house of which kohnhorst is the father
1t appears that most of the trouble
which has arisen in the family and
which caused the woman to seek q
separation, has resulted through dis
agreement as to the manner of raising
the two docks.
The divorce was granted and the
court decided that the forty acres be.
longs TO kohnhorst bat allowed the
woman $50 alimony. The attorneys
on each side will meet soon and arrange
date fer the payment Of the same.

ANENT THE WEATHER.

The coldest day of the winter was
last Thursday, when the government
thermometer on the court house square
registered twentyfour degrees below
the goose egg. The morning before,
the murcury went as far as nineteen
degrees in the same direction. Many
who had their noses and ears stung
imagined it was much colder, but it
was not so bad. However, it was cold
enough to reach water pipes in build
ings and the PILOT editor had his
troubles in this respect on Thursday
morning. Frost has penetrated to a
great depth owing to there being no
covering of snow until lately, and when
next spring comes and it is driven
further into the ground, there
is liable to be a whole lot of
trouble with water and gas pipes.
The present weather is admirable for
lumbermen. All the swamps and soft
places are frozen over; they have been
using ice roads and have good founda-
tions for the excellent roads which can
be made since the last snow came and
still there is not enough snow to inter-
fere with logging operations.

LETTER FROM JOHN KENNEDY

ALMoGoRDo, N NJ, Jan. "a, 1908.
Editor Thayer:-
arrived in Almogordo this evening
at five o'clock. Left Wausau at 6 clock
Tuesday evening, reached Chicago at
o'clock the next morning and remained
in the windy city until six O'Clock that
evening when we took the train for the
South. We did not see much of the
country as we passed through it during
the night, but got up early the next
morning and, upon inquiry, found that
the name of the sleepy little town
through which we were then passing
was Liberty, Mo, the former stamping
ground of the famous Jesse James. We
then crossed the muddy Missouri river
into the state of Kansas and reached
Kansas City at nine o'clock. AS rail
road center we think that city is ahead
Of Chicago. 1t was simply astonishing
to see the crowds. For awhile / did
wish that there might be another flood
there, same as was experienced two
years ago, aud thereby produce scatter
ing After good deaf of trouble, talk
ing and excitement we got our train
and were enabled to get out at eleven
O'Clock. / should have wired ahead
from Chicago for sleeper, in order to
avoid trouble. This train was composed
of six sleepers, two baggage cars and
one observation car and among the
more notable gentlemen on the train
was the Hon. Enrique Creel, ambassa-
dor to this country from Mexico, who
was leaving his post in Washington, ID.
c., to go home and accept the govern
ship of his state. In leaving Kansas
City we-crossed the Kaw river, which is
muddier than the Missouri. We were
all day in going through the state of
Kansas and finer country never saw.
About noon we reached the city of Law
renee, noted ia an early day as the
scene of many escapades of the James
and Younger brothers. In looking over
the beautiful country one might think
it impossible that such a place ever
turned out "jay-hawkers" of their
stamp. Just arrived in Almogordo this
evening and we are very tired after our
long ride. Sincerely yours,
j. H. KENNEDY.

FAIR DATES TO BE SET.

1t is expected that meeting OF agri-
cultural association representatives os
fair associations comprising the Central
Wisconsin Fair circuit, will be called in
, week or so. Secretary G. S. Van
Aukin, of La Crosse, has notified Secy.
M. II. Duncan, of Wausau, to that effect.
1t is quite likely that the meeting will
be called this year in the city of Stevens
Point, Portage county having entered
the circuit last year when the Marsh
field organization dropped out. -
this meeting, dates for the coming fairs
will be set and speed programs and
purses arranged and officers elected.
80 far as known at present there Will be
no changes made in the composition of
the circuit this year, all apparently be-
ibg satisfied with the present arrange
ment. OF course it is too early to say
what the dates will be for the Marathon
county fair, but representatives from
Wausau will work to have Sept. 1884
set as the time for holding the same.
There may be no change in the order
of last year: Merrill starting, Wausau,
Stevens Point, Chippewa Falls and La
Crosse following in the order named
This circuit has gained good name
among horsemen and they are all
aoxious to go after the big purses hung
up by each association.
1t is quite likely that the Marathon
County Agricultural association will 0e
represented at the meeting by M. H.
Duncan, DIR. G. A. Mills and perhaps
others.

PRICES WILL NOT SLUMP.
Wausuu Lumberman Say Decrease in
Other Sections Will Not Affect
Local Lumber Market.

The price of lumber in this section
will not take the slLllp prophesied in
other parts of the state, say Wausau
lumbermen. The reason for the steady
condition of the local lumber market is
assigned to judicious purchases made
by those who take the output of the
local mills, and the lack of any neces-
sity on the part of lumber makers IN
this section of parting with their stocks
for ready cash.
Instead of drop in sawed timber,
most of the older Wausau lumbernen
predict raise in the price of sawed
ismber, a necessity from an increased
demand. There are four saw mills in
Wausau and total of fourteen within
radius of as many miles of the city.
The total output of these mills is in the
neighborhood of 100000 feet of lum-
Der per day. This timber is sold on
prica5, usually, which are determined
by the st. Paul board of timber APP
praisers But this condition has not
held here, and prices have been made
according to the needs of the owners of
the lumber and the demand Of the
market.
The demand has started up hill with
the resumption of logging operations,
now made possible by a heavy fall of
snow. The Alexander Stewart Lumber
company recently announced a small
cut in prices while the demand was
low, but this cut has been withdrawn,
and all local mills hold their products
at the same prices as heretofore, with
the promise of raise in a snort time.
About 500 'lumberjacks' left for the
woods from Wausau, Monday and Tues
day of this week, and before the close
of .iie week l 900 men from this section
will have gone to cut timber Milwau-

ANNUAL MEETING.


The annual meeting of the Marathon
County Telephone Co., was held
Wednesday in the lodge room of Cutler
Post in the basement of the court house
and was not very largely attended.
Officers and directors were reelected
as follows:
President-F. p. Stone, Wausau.
Vice-Presidenl-W f. LaDu, Mosinee
Secretary-C. S. Gilbert, Wausau.
Treasurer--A. L. Kreutzer. Wausau.
Directors f. T. Stone. w. F. LaDu,
y. l.. Kreutzer, c. S. Gilbert, G. II.
Baeseman, all of Wausau; j. G. Lang Of
Marathon City; F. F. Chesak of Athens.
1t was decided to declare a ten per
cent. dividend, payable Feb. 1. A divi-
dend of five per cent. was paid last May,
which shows that the company's busi-
ness is very satisfactory.
The company has twenty-five stations
on its lines and these earned for the Or
ganization total of SO ,483. .25, gain of
1922 Al over the previous year. Mosinee,
Colby, Riverside and Poniatowski re-
ported less earnings than they did a
year ago. From the Wausau Office
SS73.15 was turned into the company's
treasury.
The report for the year, given here
with, shows that the company is in
prosperous condition at present. 1t is
free of Indebtedness and has 81, 1853. AZ
in its treasury, whereas at the close of
1905 the amount of cash on hand was
only s45.40 During the year note for
1900 was paid, leaving the company in-
dependent of creditors. Considering
that the company has been in business
only five years the report here given is
a very creditable one.

selection OF squaw, Bill was unable
TO make very clear to US, and so there
fore we win not attempt to describe it..
There was no question popped and the
Indian maiden was free to accept or
reject, as near as we could make out,
but ike her white sister she usually fell
into the young braves arms and said,
II I'm your huckleberry." This feast
lasted about three days.
A large square space in the senter of
the village was cleared and swept clean.
On the outer edges of the square mats
were placed for the old Indians to sit
upon. The tom-tom players came into
the square, while the young Indians,
men and women, formed the sides OF
the square, leaving space in the
center When the tom-toms began to
beat . number of the participants be-
gan 70 chant. At the same time one of
the younger Indians would enter the
square, keeping time with the tom-toms
and then in pantomime show the man
pedition where bravery was required,
how he stealthily approached his enemy,
the combat, the death scene and final
success, then he would retire and an
other would take his place. These
dances melted the young to deeds of
valor and made the old warriors young
again.
While the corn was growing it was
never molested until fit for harvest.
Tksn they held. another ceremony called
the corn feast at which time they
thanked the Great Spiri. for giving
them the corn.
According to Boyce, the Winnebagoes
had romantic tradition regarding the
origin of corn. Two Winnebagoes, after
having killed and dressed deer, sat
down by fire and were roasting it
when beautiful Indiar maiden came
down from the clouds and seated her
self short distance from them. The
Indians thinking she had shifted the
roasting venison and was hungry,
offered her piece of 1t which she ac-
cepted and ate. She then requested
them to return to the same spot one
year from that time and they would
find suitable reward for their hospi-
tality. She then disappeared in the
clouds and the Indians returned to
their lodges and told their tribe what
transpired and were heartily ridiculed.
When the time arrived for them to visit
the mystic spot they went with large
party and found at the right of where
she sat corn growing; at the left, beans;
and where she had been seated,
tobacco.
When Boyce had related this story he
summoned Mrs. Boyce, who was clad
in a red blanket, and young Boyce,
who was strapped to a board carried on
the back of his maternal ancestor, and
they started for home
