AMUSEMENT FOR EVERYBODY.

The trees in the fair grounds park
have been trimmed and the grounds
cleaned up in readiness for the fair
next week. Painters have completed
painting the agricultural and some
other buildings on the grounds. Con-
siderable work has been put on the
track, so that it will be in first class
condition.
There will be plenty of amusement
along Third street on the evenings of
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The fair management has arranged
with Anton Sacho, an Oshkosh steeple-
jack who is in the city, to mount to
the top of the court house tower and
paint the ball on the flag staff. This he
will do on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings.
There will be stands constructed on
the court house square, where Leroy &
Levanion and the Otoro Japanese

BUY IN WAUSAU.

The PILoTs readers attention is
directed to the advertisement of the
Wausau Merchants association which
appears in this issue. Out of town peo-
pie should take advantage of the offer
made by the merchants and kill two
birds with one stone. They can see the
fair, base ball games and other attrac-
tons, get their market purchases at
minimum of cost and have their rail-
road fare paid both ways. City people
should inform their outside friends of
this proposition and invite them here
next week. The plan is being pretty
well advertised, but still every little
boost will be appreciated. Elmer
Young has been on the road for several
weeks distributing advertising matter,
covering about 100 square miles of
territory. Last week the PILoT printed
several thousand large bills for the
association,w which are being distributed.
Wausau is a good, live town and our
merchants are progressive business
men who will give everyone square

FURNISHING THE NEW HOSPITAL

On completion of the beautiful new
hospital by the Sisters of the Divine
Saviour, the great task still remained
to furnish the thirtyfive or forty rooms
in manner BETTING the institution and
creditable to the metropolis of Central
Wisconsin. Many of our fraternal
orders have signified desire to furnish
room as have also several of the
churches of the city. After some pre-
liminary work, the task was finally
assumed by DR.. Margaret Trevitt, Mrs.
j. N. Manson and Mrs. B. H JConlin,
who, when they finally got in touch
with our people, found the task not so
difficult on account of the splendid gen.
crosby displayed by many organizations
and individuals. They found that peo-
pie were only waiting to be asked and
responded in most generous way. In
fact, visit to the new hospital was
delightful surprise to all on account of
the elegance and completeness of the
entire institution. The result of this
splendid work is that nearly all of the
rooms on the first three floors are fur
nished in a manner that will compare
favorably with any hospital.
In community where little hospital
work has been done, few people realize
what first class institution of this kind
means in a town like Wausau. 1t is
not intended only for surgical patients
and those without homes, but place
for invalids and conyalescing patients,
who will secure proper care and atten-
ton. 1t is an institution that fills
long felt want and one of which Wau-
sau may we'll feel proud. May success
attend its future career
The hospital will be opened to the
public some time the latter part of Sep

THREE INJURED.

Bernard Hernke, John Relitz and
woman were injured last night in an
automobile accident, which occurred
on the bridge just south of the old
Columbia park on Grand Ave. Relitz
is hurt the worst of the three and it is
wonder all were lot killed, for eye
witnesses say that they were going at
furious pace. They were coming up
the avenue and had almost reached the
bridge when a street car started to
cross the structure. To get past the
car, Hernke, who was driving the auto,
got in too close to the bridge, with the
result that the auto ran up on the steel
trusses of the bridge and turned COM
pletely over, striking the street car
Hernke was pinned beneath the auto,
and Relitz and the woman were thrown
heavily to the ground the former being
picked up in an unconscious state.
The heel of his shoe was pulled off
completely, which gave rise to the story
that the heel of his foot had been cut
off, which is not true. Both men were
injured internally and Relitz has been
uncon scious part of the time today
The ambulance of st. Mary's hospital
was summoned, but before its arrival
the injured were placed in hacks and
hurried to the hospital.
AS soon as the auto was upset it
caught fire and the east side fremen
were summoned. Gasoline was thrown
onto the motorman of the street car and
his trousers caught fire. The auto was
one being taken care of by Hernke at
his garage on Forest St. and belonged
to another party. 1t is very badly dam

B. B. NOTES.

Manager Kelly. of the st. Paul team,
announces the purchase of Pitcher
Dunbar and Third Baseman McAuley, of
Wausau. President Armour of the
Toledo club announces the purchase of
Centre Fielder Miller, of Wausau. The
purchase money for the latter's sale,
$500, goes to the st. Paul team for he
belongs to that team and was only
loaned to Wausau.
La Crosse has protested the last series
in this city on the grounds that Baker,
now playing right field, has no business
playing on the Wausau team at this
time of the year. The same kind of a
howl was made last year against Green
Bay playing Miller after he had been
sold to the Chicago White Sox Baker
has been playing all season with Duluth
in the Northern league, which has
finished its schedule. He was picked
up in st. Paul to finish the season and
take Grodneck's place, who was let GO.
There are twenty-four games to be
played by Wausau after today including
those postponed. Twelve of these will
be played on the home grounds. AS
Wausau has large lead over all other
teams at present and the season nearly
ended, there is little doubt about US
winning the pennant. This is conceded
all around the circuit, and it makes
Madison so sore that the people Of that
town or at least some newspaper writers,
are still yelling their heads off about
throwing US out of the league next
season.
A Marinette gentleman now in the
city says he never saw city so worked
up over baseball as Wausau is at pres
ent. This gentleman travels consider
able and he says that in no other town
in Wisconsin can one find people
more loyal to their teams interests.
In the office of one of our large manu-
featuring institutions can be found the
following notice posted:
Notice-All requests for leave of alb
sence owing to grandmothers' funerals,
headaches, cousins weddings, brain
storms, etc., must be handed to the
manager not later than 10 a. m. on the
morning of the game.
