WORTH SEEING.s
The Buildings Of the Harathon Paper
Co., at Rothschilds, Now Show
Their Mammoth Proportions.

One of the sights of this section at
present are the buildings of the Mara
thon Paper Mills company at Roths-
childS, which are i'm process of con-
struction. The amount of work
which has been done since commenc-
ing few months ago, must be seen
to be appreciated. The foundations
for the big mill are nearly all built and
brick work in most instances, up to
the second story and some parts are
up 70 where the roof is being put on.
There is to be 40 wood used in the
mammoth building except in the
window and door frames. Tine foun-
dat1Ons are of concrete and the walls
from one and half to two feet thick,
of solid brick. All support for the
floors and roofs will be of iron and
the floors will be of concrete. When
completed, if its buildings were placed
in row they would cover over one
half mile in length and an average
OF about 200 feet in width. In their
construction, something like 1000, 900
brick will be used. There is so much
activity there that it looks much like
suburb of Chicago, where large
building is being put up, with the
streets all torn to pieces and the
crowds of men hurrying here and
there, and the many teams that are
drawing up scrapers of dirt from the
river bed. Great piles of sand and
gravel meet the eye in every direction.
Then there are cars full of dirt hauled
up from the river bed by a wire rope,
operated by electric power. Much of
the sand is used for filling, as the
ground near the river is being raised
to higher level. Work has not been
commenced on the big dam yet, but
will be in a few days. There have
been many dwelling houses erected,
and there will be Is built for the en-
ployees. This will make a village of
considerable proportions. The Village
has been laid out and the avenues are
named after the men who are prom
inent in the enterprise, such as, Alex-
ander Ave, Yawkey Ave, Winton
Ave-, Brown Ave, etc. The main
street is 100 feet wide. The main
avenue is to be lined on both sides
with trees and laid out by Neal
Brown.
There are now 400 men at work at
Rothschilds, besides a large crew cut
ting timber and clearing out the bed
of the lake. The street railway runs
to the mill and hundreds of our people
go down daily to see the great work as
it proceeds. Those who have not been
down should go at their first oppor-
tunity. 1t is worth the trip as it is
the greatest enterprise ever under
taken in the valley.

THE COUNTY SQUARE.

For several years the Pilot has
strenuously advocated the beautifying
OF the county square, and it looks
now as II the movement in that direc-
tion has set in, in earnest. A COM
mittee has plans for laying out the
grounds, which are to be submitted
at the coming meeting of the county
board. The main thing to be looked
after When plans are accepted, is the
hiring OF man who is to give his en-
tire time TO keeping up the grounds
during the months from May to Nov
of each year. The grounds may be
improved TO an unlimited extent, but
without proper care, such as having
them sprinkled; the grass cut; the
shrubbery properly taken care of and
hundreds of other things attended to,
it will be money thrown away For
years it has been the custom of our
county TO spend q considerable
amount of money each year in enrich
ing the soil on the square,; putting in
fountains and taking them out again;
planting trees and cutting them down
when large enough for fire wood. In
the summer months, during dry spells
with a couple of sprinklers mot
sufficient To water a good sized lawn
on sixty foot lott trying to wet
down the whole square and the result
was a lawn burned yellow and as
dilapidated as a sand bank Let us
have change in this respect. Have
the grounds properly laid out by some
well known person who makes that
work a business. After this has been
attended to, put in man whose busi-
ness it will be TO do nothing but at
tend to grounds for some six months
in the year and Marathon county
will have county square in keeping
with its beautiful court house.
AL. Stanke, who for many years had
a popcorn stand ON one corner of the
grounds, has purchased a handsome
new wagon and outfit and VIII soon
remove the old stand. This is very
welcome news TO our people.

NOVEMBER NOTES.

And now we have arrived at the
month of November, the eleventh in
the year, and the people of Wausau
are thinking of fuel bills and otheg
things. November was formerly tal
ninth month of the old Roman year
and was called by the dagos Noyem,
meaning ninth. Julius Caesar had
much to do with changing the month
in the calendar. When he ran out of
gum drops and returned to Rome and
set up the claim that he had divided
Gaul, he precipitated dispute, the
veracity of his Eskimo was attacked
and the empire arose and said, "We'll
give the world something else to talk
about. Well shove the month two
notcheS ahead" Incredulity in those
DAYS was as bad as it is today 1t was
this same Julius who coined the say
ing, Life is just one id thing
after another"
During this month Uncle Joe
Cannon will play the 'posSum, while
the dogs will be Mistahs Cummins,
Clapp, Nelson and Borah; the lanterns
will be carried by Mistah Bristow,
the axes by Mistahs Beyeridge and
Dolliyer, while, Mistah LaFollette
will be keeper of the game sack.
The November flower is crysanthe-
mum. To wear pink one signifies
you are Cook man; white one that
you are for Peary; a green one means
that you don't care rap which told
the biggest lie. Next to Thanksgiving
the greatest day in the month is today
(9th), the anniversary of the time the
Pilgrim fathers landedA There will
be parade by the trusts at Plymouth
Rock and speeches by Cannon,
Aldrich, Morgan, Rockefeller and
other friends of liberty. On the 10th
18th and 18th, Taft will make few
more short speeches and increase his
weight.
From the first to the twenty second
the sun will be under the influence of
Scorpio, while some Wausau men will
be under the influence of their
mothers-in law. After the twenty
second the sun will be governed by
Sagittarius the Archer. This will
give the wolf the ball again on our
ten yard line, with only three meals
TO play. If we can hold him there for
downs, consumers will eat three times
during the month, as we have been
doing: but if he scores on US, We will
eat but once-on the twenty-fifth,

ECHO OF HALLOWEEN.

Sheriff Sell on Friday went over to
the village of Spencer and arrested
seven boys on warrants sworn TO by
Leonard Klatt of that village. The
boys were charged with malicious
destruction of property. The case
grew out of Halloween depredations.
On Sunday night party of boys car
ried away a small building owned by
the complainant and deposited it on
another mans property. He claims
that the boys arrested are the ones
who did the work, but they say they
had nothing TO do with it, and intend

MUSIC RENDS CHURCH
BAPTIST ORGANIZATION AT COLUM-
 BUS ID IN DIsCORD.
Installation of Instrument Contrary to Precedent Cause of Acrimonious Contentions-Opinion Are
 Vigorously Expressed.

Columbus. Ga. sept4 s.-(special.) .)- The installation of an organ in a prim- itive Baptist chuch in Columbus has caused a split among the churches of that faith in this section of Georgia, and Alabama.
 The existing differences first became public when a Baptist meeting began in Phenix City, Ala, and it was an- nounced that this was a meeting of the Upatoie Baptist Association.
 This announcement drew a state ment from Elder H. Bussey of Colum- bus. published today, that the meeting is not that of the Upatoie Association. but of representatives of discordant churches in this section which had drawn off from the other churches.
 The Baptists now in session reply to this claim tonight by sayng that the meeting represents a substantial ma jority of all the Primitive Baptist churches in this section.
 The usages of the church do not ad- init. 1t is said. the use of musical in- struments in their services. and the split was caused by the Columbus church disregarding tradition and in- stalling the organ.
 A committee from the other churches went to Elder Bussey's church to see if the organ was really there and sub- stantiated the report.

Hattie Massie, a negro woman, Of Keego, left her two-year-old girl at home yesterday morning and went down the railroad track to neigh bor's house. The little pickaninny stood at the gate of the rough fence along the track holding herself erect by the pickets, and watched her mo- ther down the track.
 The shadows grew shorter. and the baby began to wish for its mother. Her little arms grew tired with cling Ing to the fence, but she gazed down the track for two hours.
 She found the gate, she pulled the string which held 1t closed, and the rag broke. The little negro crawled out on the railroad track and crept along after the mother who would not come back.
 An L. and N train with Engineer H. J. McGrade, of Montgomery, in charge, passed Keego, station near Brewton' and sped on toward the little cabin in which Mattie Massie lived. The lit- tie crawling figure caught the engi- neers eye, more than a quarter of a mile away, but it had the appearance of some animal and he thought that 1t would soon catch the alarm Of the train and get off the track. But as he neared it, several hundred feet away now, he saw the little gfrl stand upright.
 The throttle was closed instantly and the emergency brakes applied, but the distance was short. He knew 1t, and as the wheels screeched against the | brakes and the train began to slow down, he crawled out on the engine tC reach the child from the pilot. Just al
