OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
PILOT NEARLY FIFTY YEARS AGO

our energetic and enterprising "up-
river boys"
SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1867.
The county board appropriated 81 900
towards building state road from
Stevens Point to Black River Falls, in
Jackson Co. This was authorized by
an act of the last legislature.
j. P. West has received the appoint
ment of Deputy U. s. revenue collector
for the counties of Marathon, Wood
and Portage.
The weather was too cool for the
proper observing of May day. The
picnic season this year will be inaug-
urated about the lst of August The
usually festive May day was oele-
brated by wearing overcoats, furS and
gloves.
1t is the opinion.that "Walrod Island"
will some day be an important part of
the town, aud this is strengthened by
tae improvements going on there.
There are now on the island, two stores,
Touring mill, blacksmith shop and
several dwellings.
MIR. Edward Kretlow, Sr., of Milwau-
kee, has been engaged as conductor of
our band. Instruments have been pur-
chased and Wausau is to have brass
band.
We have some genuine ladies in Wau-
sau who are above the novel.reading,
sentimental class, who possess good
common sense, are not afraid of soiling
their delicate fingers by using the hoe,
rake or even the ak, if need be, to ac-
complish what they undertake, regard
less of what Mrs. So-and-So may say or
think about them. These ladies assist
in cultivating their gardens, cleaning
yards and few have been public spir-
iteb enough to clean up the streets in
front of their residences. But a few
days since, we ware informed, some of
these ladies labored all one afternoon
in piling together and burning stumps,
roots, etc, and afterwards with rope,
drawing the remnants together and
burning them also, not accomplishing
the whole until eleven o'clock at night.
The streets in that locality. we venture
to say, look neat and tidy and the ladies
smiling aud happy. Our ladies will
make Wausau the handsomest, pleas
antest and happiest town in America.
(Such were the type of our pioneer
women and Wausau owes much to
them.)

the Herman Hardell estate the Hardell

devote much of his time to cattle rails
ing, and has ordered car load of fine
stock as beginning. The farm is one
of the best adjacent TO the city, and as
Mr.. Ross bears the reputation of being
man of energy he ought to succeed.
Mr.. Hardell died few months ago.
He was one of the couHty's first settlers.

LUMBER RATES LOWERED
Charges From Wisconsin Points tc
Chicago Will Be Less by Rul-
ing of the Commission.

Rates to Chicago on lumber from
points in Wisconsin are to be lowered
under decision rendered by the Inter
state Commerce Commission on Satur-
day. The complaint was brought by &.
w. Jones Lumber company against the
Chicago 4 North Western Railway
company.
Lumber producing points on that rail
road in northern and northwestern Wis
eonsia have under its schedules been
classified in groups and the same car
load rates on lumber as prevail from all
points in particular group to Chicago
and points in Illinois anu iowa.
Wsbeno, Wis, was placed in the
Rhinelander group, from which the
rates to points in Illinois and lows are
from cent to cent higher than the
rates from the Wausau group. which
sdjoins the Rhinslander group on the
southwest. as the commission finds that
by reason of its geographical location
and distance of Tsbeno by rail from
Chicago and other points in Illinois and
Iowa, it is entitled to the same rates As
points in the Wausau group.

The blasting out of Big Bull falls has
been a big success. A large amount of
4H'nber from Trappe and Pine rivers
has been run over the past few days
and scarcely piece was injured many
of the most experienced pilots consider
it the easiest running rapids on the
river. This is only the beginning of
many permanent improvements until
not single serious obstruction will be
left on "Old Wiscopse'' to retard the
safe outlet of lumber at all times during
a proper stage of water. Three cheers

BOUGHT SILO.

A. j. Plowman of the town of Elder
on, was in the city last week attending
the farmers course, given by the Col
lege of Agriculture. He listened to a
discourse on Principles of Silo Con-
struction, given by Prof. C. A.. Ocock

cided that he needed a silo. Before
leaving the city he contracted with the

silo 16 feet in diameter and 30 feet
high. This he will fill in the fall, to
feed his herd of Guernsey cattle. for

gressive farmers in the county and
whenever he sees an opportunity of
bettering methods in working his farm
he is not slow in making q change.

PAY BY CHECK.

The great advantage of paying bills
by check is sometimes overlooked by
even a careful man or thrifty house
wife If you pay by check you do not
need to carry sums of money with you,
thereby taking the chance of loss or
error in making change, you always
have an indisputable receipt for bills
paid and therefore the National Ger
man American bank, desiring to CO.
operate with every family in Wausau,
urges the small depositor to open Il
check account with it.
Give year wife check book as well
as carry one yourself Come in and
talk it ever with us Our time is yours.

the bodies recovered were in a Ger

DANGERS OF WESTERN CORN.
Its Use May be the Cause OF Peiis-
gra In the South

The Augusta Herald very wisely
suns up the matter Of Western corn
and its results as food for man
and beast. The Herald says It Is
not N corn that donger turks. but
in Western corn. The reason for
this is clear Western COTE does
not fully mature before the season
ends. Frost falls upon it before
the :.ernels are hardened and the
cob is dry.
In this condition II is gathered
and housed or stacked. It then goes
through a process of fermentation
which produces the chemical chang
es that convert healthy food for
man or beast into subtle poison.
Fed to horses it gives them blind
s.aggers and thousands Of horses
and mules are killed by 1t every
wear. Eaten by men it produces
pellagra.
Fortunately simple preventative
will avoid all risks in this matter.
That Is TO use only Southern grown
corn either for making corn bread
or to feed to the horses. And an
Atlanta case may show that Srits
ground In the North should also 5e
excluded. Let our farmers ponde!
this matter. anu raise corn enough
for all our ueeds. PellaSra is be-
coming entirely too frequent IN the
South.

and oats: for corn, -four and bacon
are now very high. They can be
raised for much less than half the

believe they will be higher another
year.

Mrs. Silvers had bullet wound IN
the chest and several knife slash
es. Only cae revolver was found In
the apartments, bot eight empty
shells indicating that the revolver

every room there we:e evidences Of
desperate struggle.

Mrs Silver was in her unieSc'o1c!og.
Mrs. Silver lad bean staying at the
Trip home for about a month. and
the two women are said to kave had
frequent quarrels principally over
the division Of household duties.
One strange feature Of the case
IS that no one heard any shots. The
appeals FOR help were heard. hut
no one made any attempt to enter
the apartments until after the police
had been called.
Shortly after 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon Mrs. Tripp appeared in the
hallway IN the front OF her apart
nent screaming for help.
"I am being murdered n here!"
she shouted.
At almost the same time q woman

broken and chairs overturned. In

Tripp was found lying on the floor
fully dressed. Her face and waist
we're covered with blood and a pool
had formed beneath her. She was
dead.

Blood was gushing from deep cut

BITTEN By DEADLY SNAKE.
Prevented Serious Consequences By
Sucking Wound.

At Anderson Miss Ranelle N!chcl-
son was bitten on the right wrist
by what is suppose dto have been
a highland moccasin. The snake
clung to tie wound: seemed to be
unable to free Itself, and the child
was unable to shake 1t OF. Finally
she plared her foot on the tail OF
the reptile and literally tore the
fanss from the wound in her arm.
4 physician was summoned and ar
rived within less than half al hour.
He prescribed some medicine for the
bite and the next day the child went
TO school as usual. little the worse
for her experience The girl had
gone into the garden and was pick
Ing beans when the snake struck her.
A soon as possible she wiped the
surface Of the wound with he. dress.
sucked out the poison. and it IS very
probable that because Of this the
bite did not prove more serious.
