WRONG AGAIN, Mr.. CRESAK.

HoGARTY, WIS Oct. Goth, 1903.
WAUsAU PILOT:
Will you please insert these few lines
in your paper. | find III Wausau Rec
ord Herald of Oct. %, 1908, an article
on first page which l suppose was
written by Mr.. Chesak, chairman re-
publican county committee. He says
in part:
Marathon county is thriving agri-
cultural district, settled to a large ex-
tent by Polish, German, Bohemian and
other thrifty farmers, and they are all
for the republican ticket" Now, Mr..
Chesak, | will say, that you are badly
mistaken; that all are not going to vote
the republican ticket; there are Polish,
Germans, Bohemians and others going
to vote for the Hon. w. j. Bryan and
also Hon. Neal Brown. You will find
on Nov. Sd, that the people of this
county are going to use their right and
vote the democratic ticket straight
from top to bottom and your plurality
will fade away. Please do not say or
assert that all Bohemians will vote for
Mr.. Taft. L, as a Bohemian say, no, and
you know also that it is not true when
you try to make the public believe it is
so. You will find that most of demo-
cratic candidates in the county will pull
through. Yours,
JOSEPH DANEK,
A Bohemian

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

A meeting for country teachers will
be held on Saturday, Oct. 81, in the
school house in which Mr.. SchooIey
teaches, in the town of Berlin. An in
teresting program has been prepared
and it is hoped that all teachers in that
section will make an effort to be there,
to make the meeting a success.
On Friday afternoon Miss Bohrer and
Mr.. Heise visited the school taught by
Miss St.-Mary in the town of Maine.
Forty-five pupils are enrolled, the great
er part of whom are boys.
A meeting for district clerks of Mara
thon county will be held on the
Wednesday following election day. 1t
is hoped that there will be accommoda-
tons for the greater part of the train
ing school students, as it is of great i'm
portance that they should hear the dis
cussions regarding the equipment of
school houses and the requirements
made of teachers.
Mr.. Parlin entertained the students
of both the agricultural and training
sc hools last Thursday afternoon by Civ
ing a talk about his travels in Italy.
He spoke of the Cathedral of Milan,
and also at considerable length of the
railroad and hotel accommodations,
and some of the difficulties an Ameri-
can meets in adjusting himself to the
peculiarities of both. Mr.. Parlin pre-
sented the facts in his characteristical-
ly delightful and humorous manner
and added much to the general in
telligence and pleasure of all present.
The training schools classes who are
observing the work of the city teachers
are doing it in connection with the
work in psychology this year. They
will observe the work of the same class
for week at time, beginning in the
Irving school.
The debate of last Friday was very
interesting: Resolved, That the pro-
posed amendment to the state consti-
tuition changing the minimum school
age from four to six years should be
adopted"

VOTE ON BOND ISSUE.

In last weeks PILOT we said that the
proposition of issuing $4,000 city
bonds, the money to be derived there
from to be used for building engine
houses, etc, had been quashed because
preliminary proceedings had not been
conducted according to law. Since
then it has been determined by Atty. f.
K. Bump, who drew up the resolution
in the absence of HI. E. Manson, city
attorney, that the city, so far, has made
every legal requirement and the bond
issue will be voted upon at the election
next Tuesday. The voting will be done
on a separate ballot from that on which
candidates for the different offices are
voted for. 1t is the duty of every citi-
zen to vote on this question. 1t does
not matter to what party he belongs.
The issue at stake is one,of vital import
ance to every taxpayer The question
is this; Do you want adequate fire pro-
lection or don't you? Every tax payer
should record his vote on this subject
The future action of this city in this
matter may be determined by your
vote. BY the terms of the ordinance
engine houses are to be equipped in
the northeastern and southwestern
portions of the city. This equipment
may not be adequate in fighting fires,
as long as the city persists in laying
small water mains, but it will be a long
step in the right direction. Vote either
for or against the proposition. Don't
pass it by unheeded. Express your
opinion.

DEATH OF C. F. PAFf.

Relatives in this city were appraised
this morning of the death of Carl Paff,
in Chicago. 1t was known for several
days that he was dangerously i'll, but
the end was not expected so soon. He
had been i'll for about a year past with
a cancer of the liver and it was this
aff1iction which caused his death. After
leaving Wausau some years ago, Mr..
Paff accepted position with the G. &
| N. w. Ry Co. in Manitowoc which he
held for several years. His health fail
| ing him he went TO Texas about year
ago and took up government claim
The change of climate did not benefit
him and about week previous to his
death he came north and entered
Augustana hospital, Chicago, and it
was in that institution that he died.
Mrs. Paff and William Paff were with
him from the time he reached Chicago
until his death.
Carl f. Paff was born in Wausau,
April %, 1861, and was son of Jacob
and Sophia NoelD Paff. His parents
were among the pioneers of this valley,
Mr.. Paff coming here from Germany in
1849, and Mrs. Paff in 1858, at which
time they were united in marriage
Tie latter passed away in this city in
Feb, 1889, and the former in May, 1895.
Jacob Paff was an honored citizen; he
became a man of wealth and besides
operating one of the principal general
merchandise stores dealt extensively in
lumber. He was elected to the offices
of county treasurer, county clerk and
mayor of our city and was vice-presi-
dent of the First National bank at the
time of his death.
Carl Paff attended the city schools
and also took a four years course in
the German and English academy at
Elmhurst, III. Graduating at that in
stitution, he completed a course of
bookkeeping at r. c. Spencer's bust
ness college, Milwaukee, and thus
equipped for commercial life, he re-
turned to Wausau and for two years
was boOkkeeper for John G.. Gerhard.
He accepted similar position with F.
W. Kickbusch who was then in the
manufacture of sash, doors and blinds.
Later the factory was destroyed by fire
and Mr.. Paff took position in the
Wausau post office. A short time after
that he purchased the interest of F. w.
Stroud in the paint and oil business OF
Stroud & Zentner. Three years later
Messrs. Paff & Zentner sold out to j.
M. Stroud & Co, of Oshkosh, and
started a new business as dealers in
lime, cement and sewer pipe. Later,
Mr.. Paff purchased Mr.. Zentner's in
terest. He conducted the business until
he was elected county treasurer in 1892
when he sold out to his brother, VIM.
Paff. He was county treasurer for
Marathon county, from 1892 until 1896,
since which time he had been engaged
in various occupations, until his health
began to fail him several years ago.
He was united in marriage to Matilda
Kickbusch, daughter ef~the late +. w.
Kickbusch, on the 22d day of Nov, 1888,
and to them were born five children.
Selma, Carl E., Gretchen, Gertrude and
Dorothy, all of whom survive him and
reside in Wausau He also leaves two
brothers, William and Jacob, who re-
side in this city.
The remains will be brought to this
city tonight reaching here on the 9:45
G. & n. w. train.
No arrangements have been made at
this time for the funeral.

TWELFTH ANNUAL.

The 18th annual convention OF the
Wisconsin Federation of Woman's
clubs opened in Milwaukee last Thurs
day morning. The meetings were held
in the Plymouth church and there were
several hundred delegates in attend
ance. One of the questions discussed
was the proposed amendment fixing the
legal school age between the years OF o
and 20, instead of and 20, as at present.
If the amendment should be adopted 1T
would practically do away with the
kindergarten in the schools of Wiscon-
sin. The federation, by vote, was
placed on record as against the amend
ment. Those who were in attendance
from Wausau were: Miss Underwood,
Mrs. G. ID. Jones and Mrs. g. s. Curtis.

MARKET\DAY A SUCCESS.

The market day of yesterday was
more of a success than was anticipated,
considering the bad weather. If the
weather had been anywhere favor
able the number of farmers on the
market square would have been much
greater. Up to about ten o'clock the
square was deserted, but after that
hour the farmers began arriving.
At the hour of eleven Prof. G. A.
Crosthwait and a class of pupils from
the agricultural school appeared at the
square and awarded the premiums.
In view of the fact that two of the en-
tries did not fill, the merchants who
had offered prizes for such gave special
premiums. Fifteen out of seventeen
regular premiums were paid, in addi-
ton to the two special premiums, as
follows
Timothy hay. Emil Ramthun. Easton;
mixed hay, Chas Bell, Texas; white
oats, Frank Tress, Texas; barley, VIM.
Schlei. Easton; potatoes, VIM. Kahn,

on load of barley.
There were many head of cows,
steers, two loads of lambs, load of
hogs, several loads each of barley, oats,
potatoes, rutabagas, cabbage, butter,
eggs, etc. Every article brought in
found ready buyer and in fact there
were more purchasers for some lines of
products than was stock on the market.
The Merchants association is more
than pleased with the success of the
affair and its committee, composed of
M. II. Duncan, Grin liljeqvist and
VIM. Schoeneberg, has set to work
and framed up a new list of premiums
