GERMANS CELEBRATE.

What was without doubt the larg-
est picnic ever held in the city of
Wausau was given last Sunday by
the local German alliance, participated
in by part of the German population
of Merrill. The German alliance is
composed of nearly every society in
town whose membership is strictly
German. The picnic was in celebra-
ton of momentious event in Ger
man histOry-that of the conquerlng
of the Romans by Herman, who is 70
the German nation what Geo. Wash
ington is TO the American people.
Nineteen hundred years ago the OPP
pessive rule of the Romans over the
Teutons was broken and it was in
celebration of that event that the
picnic of Sunday was held.
A special train brought 500 or 900
people from Merrill who were met at
the depot by Wausau citizens and
escorted up town. They had band
with them and several pieces were
played at the depot, but because of it
being close to the time for holding
church services no music was played
coming up town. The parade of all
societies formed around the court
house square and the line of march
was down Washington street and
over the slough bridge to the fair
grounds. 1t was the largest body of
men ever seen in parade in this
city. At the fair grounds ranks were
broken and the speakers selected by
the committee began their addresses.
Messrs. Anton Mehl and Louis Mar
chetti spoke in the German language
dwelling at some length upon Ger
man history and of the event being
celebrated. Both gave clear and
concise detail of Germany's historical
part in the world of events.
Mr.. Fitzgibbon of Milwaukee, an
editor of a paper spoke in English,
his remarks to the subject
OF personal liberty. He is fluent
talker and he made an address which
pleased his listeners.
The merchants of the city and the
societies interested donated about $500
worth OF prizes. a program of races
and acts of skill interested the peo-
pie and committee awarded prizes
TO the winners of the different events.
1t has been yariously estimated that
from 5000 to 10000 people visited the
fair grounds during the day. 1t was
a red letter event for Wausau's Ger
man population.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The base ball season is drawing to a
close. There are twenty-three sched-
uled games yet to be played. The
season has not been a success finan-
cially as far as the Wausau team is
concerned. 1t has been practically
the same experience of the teams
which composed the old WI. league
in the opening year. Base ball is a
good deal like mining Its chickens
today and feathers tomorrow.
A pitcher of the name of Stauffer
released by Oshkosh recently joined
the team in Winona last week, but it
didn't take long for him to prove tina
he was more of joke than pitcher.
He was later engaged by Pres Elliott
as an umpire.
The team suffered three defeats in
Winona last week, but the shining
feature of the series was the game of
Friday when Schieffer let the Mime
sofa team down with one stingy hit.
Wausau worked the squeeze play
in the eighth inning and scored the
only run made by either side during
the game.
The league record for extra innings
was broken Sunday when Duluth and
Superior battled for eighteen sessions.
The Appleton or ex-Wausau team
broke the WI. league record Sunday
by stealing eleven bases.
Darby O'Brien's team is getting
a lead and may win the pennant.
Still you can't most always some
times tell. The game is never ended
until it is played.

FAMILY ROW.

Yesterday afternoon disgraceful
family row occurred down on Seventh
street. A man was seen to grab his
wife by the hair and pull her into the
house, and knock her over a chair and
mistreat her generally. The woman's
screams brought out crowd of women
folks and general cry was set up for
a policeman. One appeared on the
scene but the shades of the house had
been drawn and the door closed by the
man who did the hair pulling and the
officer of the law thought, perhaps, if
he interefered, both man and wife
might pitch into him, and he there
fore did not modest them. Nor spect
whatever should be paid man who
will strike woman.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.

The PILOT last week mentioned the
disappearance of Mrs. Ferdinand
Viergutz from her home near Medford
stating that search for her had been
conducted in this city. At the time
of her disappearance relatives ex-
pressed their opinion that the woman
had taken her own life and their
belief was borne out Friday, when
her dead body was discovered short
distance from her home. A creek
flows through territory adjacent to
the Viergutz home and the woman
was found lying face downward in a
pool of water in the creek bed.
Every evidence was present that she
had deliberately taken her life. On
her person or near by were note and
an old letter, the Importance of which
is not of public interest. 1t was
quite evident that after leaving the
house on the Wednesday morning
she went direct to the creek and
drowned herself by placing her face
in the water. No one saw her leave
home. She collected about $125 which
was in the house, evidently with the
intention of taking it with her, but
changed her mind and left it on the
kitchen table, Mrs. Viergutz was
forty-two years of age and was born
and reared in Marathon county, living
up to her marriage in the town of
Texas. She was daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Borchardt of that
town. Her mother still resides in the
town of Texas and she has several
relatives living in the city. Besides
her husband she is survived by eleven
children the youngest of whom is
only about year old. Owing to the
state of the condition of the body it
was buried the same day it was dis
covered.
Searching parties had travelled the
same territory in which the woman's
body was found several times previous
to the discovery.

FINE ROOMS.

DR.. w. I. Lawrence has a suite of
rooms, on the second floor of his
building on Third street which are
beautifully arranged for his business,
and which are richly fitted up for the
convenience of his patients and him
self. One enters from the hallway
into large waiting room, which, with
its easy chairs, rugs, ETC., is made
very inviting; to the right are his
well appointed dental rooms. On the
left are his Mechano-Therapy rooms,
which are supplied with the latest
appliances with which to successfully
conduct his practice. In the rear of
this room is toilet room complete
in all its appointments.
DR.. Lawrence has for a number of
years given his attention to the study
of Mechanic Therapy, and he is grad
uate of the American college of
echanoTherapy. The work of this
school is to bring about by purely
natural agencies, the definite restora-
tion of desirable health and freedom
from pain. This is accomplished by
means of the scientific manipulation
of the whole body, thereby accelerat-
ing the circulation and eliminating
disease. The manipulations are given
on an operating couch and consist of ex-
ercises, including rubbing, kneading,
percussions, vibrations, etc, and a
complete course of Swedish move
ments. The DR.. has for many years
land still continaes) practiced dentis-
try with success in Wausau and
while he has studied Mechanic Therapy
for a number of years and practiced
it, still he has not opened up rooms
for its general practice until the past
year. He is in every way fitted to
carry on this great work, and the
success with which he is meeting
demonstrates there is wide field and
a great demand for the Mechanic
Therapist. A lady attendant who is
present to assist, makes it possible
for the Or. TO take care of many
patients during his office hours,

Docs SUPERIOR to Men.

Dogs are property. Men are merely
human beings, and as compared with
the rights of property In dogs the
rights of human beings go for the
most part by the board. The owners
of dog property may be and usually
are outnumbered four OF forty to one
in any well-settled community, but the
minority's dog property may make
night hideous for the majority and APP
parently the majority is helpless,
without redress. Such are the safe
guards which the law throws around
property In dogs that 1t is more diff
cult to prove that the dogs OF any
given owner Of dog property are pesti-
lential disturbers of the peace than II
is to prove human being guilty of
murder. Those who have tried this
have found 1t to be so.

The PILOT has just finished getting
out book for Mrs. Sarah B. Caster
line of Morgan Hill. California,
called "Bible Links and Daily Sup

dent of Wausau in the early days aud
was especially widely known for the
Interest in which she took in matters
pertaining to religion. Every moment
she could spare from her household
duties was spent in building up the
religious sentiment of this commun-
ity in the early days of the COS and
los. Besides being very earnest
worker she was an able speaker and
she was therefore power for good
Mrs. Casterline is now over so years
of age, still her mind is as clear as
ever and her hand as steady. She
has written several books, but this is
the first one she has had published of
which we know. 1t was sent to a
lady friend in WauSau that she might
read the same, and through her
efforts, 500 copies of the book were
printed. 1t is well worthy. of being
placed upon the shelf of any library
and If there are any who would like
to secure a copy, and thereby help in
good cause, they can be accommo-
dated by telephoning Mrs. S. M.
Quaw or E. B. Thayer.
Mrs. Casterline, in the preface gives
an idea of what the book contains
and its object, as follows;
II have taken great delight in TAX
ing the texts by course from Genesis
to Revelation, thus forming links to
a chain reaching through the inspired
Word. A text for every day in the
year. Hope it may meet with favor
to Bible readers, as they peruse the
Sacred page. Very many, methinks,
as they learn the verse on the morn
ing of each day, and treasure it in
their hearts, will SO feed on the bread
sent down from heaven that they will
be nourished and strengthened with
might and power by the Spirit in the
inner man, and grow more and more
in love with the Word day by day;
and will evidence its effects by letting
their light shine upon others, Great
ing within them the same love, thus
proving that our Bible is an inspired
book"

Don't Forget How to Walk.

the train have made transportation
so easy that people seldom walk any
more. They ride to business, to the

In THE PRESBYTERIAN HOS
PITAL.

l.. K. Wright, who has been very i'll
for about two months past, with
trouble which battles the skill of the
best medical experts, is now in the
Presbyterian hospital in Chicago
About two weeks ago his physicians
here thought that the baths and
treatment at Mudlavia, Ind, would
be beneficial, SO he was at once taken
there. The physicians there were I'M
able to definitely diagnose the trouble.
However, at the end of the first week
it was apparent the baths were doing
him more damage than good, he hav-
ing lost about ten pounds during the
week. The doctors at Mudlayia adj
yised immediate removal to Chicago
where he could have the benefit and
prescribed treatment of the best
medical specialists of the country.
Mrs. Wright was summoned to go
down at once and she was accompan-
led by Mayor John f. Lamont. A
letter was received in the city from Mrs.
Wright this morning, which conveys
the information that Mr., Wright was
examined by medical experts as soon
as reaching Chicago, but they were
unable to form any definite diagnosis
without further examinations and
they asked that he be taken to the
PRESBYTERIAN hospital. Mrs. Wright
says: "We expect to know results by
Wednesday, until then we can make
no plans"
Mr.. Wrights illness has been very
severe and he has been greatly re-
duced in flesh, but his legion of
friends in Wausau and Marathon Co. as
well as elsewhere, hope that his
trouble may be located quickly and
he return to his home in Wausau
assured of complete recovery.

Masks for Reading.

The Book Monthly passes on a
warning to the researchers among old
volumes. 1t has been discovered that
the ancient volume over which the
researcher pores is full of germs, and
YOU should not face the tome without
a silk and wire mask to fit over the
mouth and nose.
Otherwise the reader, as Hood
wrote, will find more dust within
the heap than he'd contracted for"
The reading mask is in use in Paris.
