NEXT NUMBER.

The next number OF the Y. M. @.
A. entertainment course will be Frank
Dixon of Washington, D. c., who will
deliver lecture in the opera house
next Tuesday evening. His topic
will probably be ''The Man Against
the Mass" Mr.. Dixon is a North
Corolinan by birth, but of Scotch
Irish percentage and inherits the wit
and sarcasm of those people. He is
said to possess the rare faculty so
rare among public men, of discussing
weighty theme before popular
audience in a manner SO lucid and
captivating and yet so logical, power
full and convincing, that there is not
a moment of heaviness, nor conscious
ness of the fight Of time.
He is gifted by nature with the
temperament of an orator. He is a
man whose message is vital to the
nation. He speaks with the author
ity of one who knows the truth, and
has no fear of man.
Every holder of season ticket and
everyone not holding a season ticket
should hear him.

A JOYFUL PASTIME.
Its RELAY a Pleasure to Cure catarrh
by Breathing Hyomei.

1t isn't pleasure to saturate your
stomach with vile nostrums or to
shock the tender membrane of the
nose and throat with disagreeable
sprays and douches.
But strange to say there are a few
thousand people who do not keep
abreast of the times who are hoping
against hope that these ancient
methods will rid them of catarrh.
If the readers of Wausau who suf-
fer from catarrh want to Danish this
vile and disgusting disease forever go
to w. w. Albers today and get com
plete Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
outfit for $1.00.
If it doesn't cure it wont cost you
cent because w. w. Albers will give
you your money back.
Hycmei is SO simple and pleasant to
use; poul . few drops from the bottle
into the inhaler and breathe it in.
As it passes over the membrane and
into the lungs with the air you
breathe it soothes the raw membrane
and kills the catarrh germs. Don't
experiment longer. Leading drug
gists everywhere sell Hyomei for
catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, etc.

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

John Dern has just finished build
ing frame school house in the town
OF Texas, School Dist. No. |.
The Indians are now winding their
way northward in scores. One day
last week, we saw a. string of them,
| lold and young, male and female) some
baskets, bundles, dogs and papoOSeS,
passing through Wausau towards their
old sugar camps. 1t is so much earher
than usual that it may prophesy an
early spring. Well, let the fair dam
sci Spring, with her yiolets, roses, the
warbiing of birds and bright sun
shine, come as soon as she pleases.
Messrs. Neu & Orr have been given
the contract for building an engine
house for $980.00. 1t will be ready by
April 18th and be placed on the south
east corner of the county square,
which has been leased by the village
for the term of ten years.
Caleb Swayze, of the Stevens Point
Pinery, visited Wausau in the early
part of Feb. 1869, and in an article,
boiled down, said: A few days ago
we visited Wausau the county seat of
Marathon county. 1t has been two
years since we had been there, and
there were many improvements Its
area is increasing rapidly, upon the
south as far as the brewery, on the
west it has taken possession of the
Walrod Island, and there are several
new dwellings, stores, saloons and a
blacksmith shop on there On the
north dwellings have been built to
Stinchfield creek and on the east as
far as possible without infringing on
the vested rights of a large marsh. A
new court house stands out in bold
relief on the county square. 1t is a
fine wood structure and cost nearly
100000 Near by is a new school
house capable of holding 250 pupils,
and we learn that there is new man
more in the village. Three new
church edifices and three denomina-
tions are holding services in private
houses.
There are many new items of inter-
est with which we were much inter-
ested; such as the farming interest,
numbering, saw mills, flour mills,
shingle mills, stores, hotels and the
various trades and professions, all
carried on with an energy that means
success and brings profit.

The prospect of finding petroleum
is Frightening in this section. For
Two weeks, the water in the public
well near the PILOT Office has been
strongly impregnated with something
very much resembling and tasting
like it, The question is, how did
it come there? If it was poured in,
the scamp who did it ought to be
treated to dose of horse medicine.
We learn from exchanges that a
regular stampede of thieves, burglars

corporations and wise business men
employ them almost exclusively TO
keep them out of courts. So it is
only question of time and popular
intelligence when large percent OF
physicians will be acting mainly as
medical advisors for families, to keep
them well, instead of the more diff
cult and expensive task of treating
them when sick. All sickness cannot
be prevented, with present knoWi-
ledge, but most of the common dis
eases which are destructive to health
and life in children and young people
can, and with proper aid from research
and laboratory the list should be
extended.
In any event it is an educational
work. 1t will involve years of un-
selfish labor among the medical pro-
fession and all may not be equal to 1t.
1t will open new field of unlimited
possibilities, and the doctor of the
future will be far more important
and useful man than the one of today

apportionment of taxes. The total
amount to be raised is 1896, 1927 "a, of
which the city of Wausau will sup
ply 1862, ,62S.03. OF the towns, Cleye-

the town of Elieth the least. Each
town will pay state, county, county

state will be used in the support of
high, graded, normal schools, the estate
university, capitol building, certificates

tionment is based largely on the re-
port of estimated expenses made by

Uniform of the Army.

II must be gratifying TO army officers
to learn that the military authorities in
Washington have decided 70 do no vio-
lence 70 the required design Of service
apparel The sentiment Of the commits
stoned personnel has been very emphat-
ically expressed by Mai Gen. Thomas
H. Barry. L. S. A. in his report as the
late commander Of the Army of Cuban
Pacifcation. Gen. Barry intimated that
there has been altogether too much inter
ference with the uniform. and that the
experts have gone into a microscopic
refinement Of distinctions which are OF
no special advantage in a military way.
and certainly not 20 the individual. who
must conform 10 any changes made in
the uniform az his own expense. Pre-
sumably, Gen. Barry refers to such minor
alterations as the adoption Of dull-hnished
insignia and the elimination Of ali that is
conspicuous in the way Of brass buttons
and gilt. This, however. refers only TO
the fighting dress Of the oficer. who Is
still required 10 provide himself with a
purely ornamental uniform for the occa-
sions OF show. That uniform is, in some
instances. gorgeous and glittering to the
degree Of barbaric splendor.
II has now been decided that the uni
form Will be allowed TO remain as It is.
and the new edition of the regulations on
the subject viii be confined to bringing
the Official requirements up 10 date. This
must be gratifying news 10 army officers.
who realize that every change means a
draft upon their financial resources. with
no certainty that the change will remain
in effect. It is easy enough 20 amend
the uniform, because there are officers In
the service who always entertain ideas
which they think are worth official adop-
ton. 1t is assuredly the part Of wisdom
and consideration OF the individual which
finds the military authorities refraining

The Reathen Chinee.

The murder Of a young white girl in
one OF New Yorks byways is only an
incident in the yearly criminal calen-
dar. but It is not overstating the case to
say that it has shocked the nation. not
so much because OF the evident brutality
Of the crime as from the fact that the
murderer was "a Chinaman who had won
the confidence Of his victim through his
professed zeal for Christianity.
There is a lesson TO be learned from it
that all would do well to heed. That les
son is that. though we boast Of the
knowledge we have acquired Of the na-
tives Of the Celestial Empire. we know.
In reality. very little about them. We do
know. however. that these strange beings
from the Orient possess a singular fas-
cination for certain white women. A
visit TO the so-caIled Chinatowns Of such
cities as San Francisco. Boston. and
New York finds many Chinese who have
taken white women for wives
Ordinarily. It is impossible for any ex-
cept the educated Chinese to get into so
cial contact with young women Of good
families, but this opportunity comes to
the low-class Chinese in the missionary
settlements and Sunday schools. where
young girls are often induced 10 act as
teachers Of Christianity.
Il is a fatal mistake. It may be all
right to teach the heather Chinee" the
rudiments OF English and the doctrines
Of Christianity. but for heavens sake
let US see that such tasks are left for
men TO undertake. It is not a task for
young women In dealing with Chinese
there is little room for sentiment. and
most missionary work-good as most OF
it undoubtedly isis sentimental The
contact OF teacher and pupil. especially
If the pupil be an Oriental and the teach
er a young girl imbued with sentimental
ideals and knowing nothing ar all Of the
subtleties Of the Oriental mind. is neces-
sarily most dangerous, and It is 10 be
hoped that this recent shocking murder.
with it's revelations Of the horrors that
went before the murder, viii sustain pub
lie opinion in putting a stop to It.
No one is going TO condemn all Chi
nese resident in this country because OF
this crime, but we should he blind in
deed II we did not take the lesson OF il
20 heart When such a horror happens, it
is a shock to our civilization.
Let US resolve to employ men mis-
sionaries TO convert the Chinese in the
slums-men missionaries. and none other.
