BEHAVED THEMSELVES.
Scarcely any Vandalism II Registered
Against the Youngsters on
Halloween.

The young people needed the warm
ing given by The PILOT last week and
on Saturday night tHallowe'en) there
was scarcely any vandalism Of any
kind. In addition to the regular
police force the chief of police had
special officers in plain clothes sta
toned in every ward in the city,
ready to arrest anyone found soaping
windows or carrying gates away.
Two boys, who gave their ages as ten
and twelve years, were caught by one
OF these plain clothes men SOaping the
windows of a>west side residence, and
were promptly arrested. At another
home, in the northern Lart of the
city, the occupants of a house them
selves placed a boy under arrest, for a
ike offense. The parents of these
young culprits later appeared at the
police station and secured the release
of theis boys, only on promise that in
the future they will never again al
low their children to engage in such
work. Had they not done so the boys
would have remained i'm Jail all day
Sunday.
How nice the new order of things
seems? Up to last year, from away

not safe to leave anything lying loose
on Halloween night, and many a
person has had articles carried off
which they never saw again. Indeed
it is said that certain parties would
go out on that night, under the guise
OF Joining the young people in Hal
lowe'en observance, and deliberately
steal from their neighbors. 1t got to
be so in recent years that the young
sters would begin their mischief a
week ahead and carry it on nightly.
But there is a limit to all things
even in liberation of what some peo-
pie pig headedly ter:a s.innocent
amusement" Merchants and private
citizens began TO make good, strong,
healthy complaints. The mayor and
chief OF police got their heads to-
gether and said "This annual nuisance
must be abated," and it has been
for good as every citizen ought to
hope.

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

/ Chill AverilPs home, about six miles
| from WauSau, and little east of
Marshall hill, was unceremoniously
entered by lynx on Wednesday
night. The animal was first seen by
MIR. AveriH, with its fore feet upon
the foot of the bed, glaring upon the
occupants with eyes that seemed like
two balls of fire. Upon Mr.. Averill
making a move 10 get out of bed, the
beast fetreated to another room and
crawled under lounge Thinking it
might be dog, he seized his revolver
and going to the dool', whistled for
him to come out, and sure he csme
revealing full grown ferocious lynx.
Imagine his diSmay at this ugly
revelation. Considering discretion
| the better part of valor," he put up
his revolver, opened the door, when
quick as flash, and without cere-
mony, Mr.. Lynx left, greatly to the
relief of Mr.. and Mrs. Averill. The
| door through which the lynx entered
was not locked or latched and when
he pushed it open and walked inside
it closed, thus making him prisoner.

RECORD MADE BARE.
Bank Robber Has Committed Many
Crimes and Served Many
Sentences.
SATURDAY, JAN. 9, 1868.

In sending to the different peniten-
tiaries picture and Bertillion meas
urements of Jos. Ladd who last Tues
day pleaded guilty to robbery, the
district attorney received information
which shows that the prisoner has a
long record. He has served about ten
of the past seventeen years in the
penitentiaries and jails, and was liber-
ated from the Waupun institution in
May, last year. He has been mixed
up in burgiaries, safe cracking, gun
fights, post office robberies and at
tempted murder. He has twice, SO
far as known, broke out of jails.
Every time he has been arrested he
has given new name. he is long on
aliases as was proved since the Athens
bank was blown up. He was Ed.
Rand when first arrested. That name
did not quite suit him and he changed
it to Lytkle and later thought IL
would be better to receive sentence
under the name of Jos. L9dd.
The early part of Ladd's career is
not quite clear, b6S MS prison record
starts as far back as 1892.
On Feb. /, of that year he was SEN
fenced to the Joliet penitentiary for
one year for burglary. He gave the
name of Edward Prentice at that
time In May of the following year
he was given a year in the Marquette,
(Mich.) prison on the same charge.
He was then known as John HasgOOd.
A year later, in October, he was ar
rested i'm Chicago on suspicion of being
safe cracker and held for some time.
He had then changed his name TO
Tony Little. Four months later he
was re-arrested in that city. This
time he assisted in gagging and bind
ing night watchman in a factory
building and then blew the safe In
the Office and robbed itof its contents.
He gave his name as Edward Little
and was sentenced to one year In the
county Jail. The following year ne
burglariZed the post office In Reeds
vile, this state, and was given four
and one-half years in the federal
prison, his name being put on the
prison register as Dan Ramsey. Short
IL after his release he turned up III

gun fight, was placed in the county
jail, but three months later broke

MILEAGE BOOKS.

A new interchangeable mileage book
of uniform type, and adapted for use
in various states where varying rates
of legal maximum fares are in force,
will be put into use January l, to re-
place all forms of mileage books now
in use.
The books will be on-transferable
and will contain description of the
holder. The book will contain 1000
miles and will be sold at $4,000.
Instead of representing miles, each
coupon will represent one cent and
will be honored according to the rate
of fare in each state.
In states with two cent rate, in
Guiding Wisconsin, two coupons will
be detached for each mile and where
the legal rate is 3 cents three coupons
well be detached. The Northwestern
and 500 lines besides several others
will probably issue the new mileage.

while Mr.. O'Connor was taking his

trigger caught and the gun discharged,
its contents taking off part of Mr..

the skull. He is getting along as well
as can be expected.
While Mrs. Shaughnessy was at
service Sunday evening, her home at
the corner of Second and Mcclellan
streets, near the NJ E. church, was
broken into, and things turned up
side down generally. The burglar
was after money and he emptied
trunks, chests and drawers upon the
floor in his endeavor to find some; not
succeeding he seemed bent on turning
things topsy-turvy.
The Wausau Cornet band elected
officers on Monday as follows:
President-LouiS StOrch.

A fire caught in the blacksmith
shop, corner of Second and Jackson
streets, on Wednesday evening. If it
had not been discovered when it was,
probably Poor's shaving saloon and
PATS store building would have been
burned and no doubt half the business
portion of the village.
1t seems that our German citizens
were, as they are today, held in very
high regard in the struggling days of
pioneership. The Princeton Republic
mentioned the fact that lands upon
which Yankees few years ago were
starving, the Germans are now
growing rich. The PILOT comment
Ing upon the article in its issue of
JaN 9th, 1869, said:
s'The agricultural wealth and re-
sources of Marathon county would
never have been developed to any
considerable extent had it not been
for the hardy German. Lands that
were given up as worthless are now
under the management of the thrifty
German and are the most productive
in our county Marathon ccInty
would be a wilderness without them.

WHEN JACK COMES BACK AGAIN.

For many a stormy wind shall blow
Ere Jack comes home again.
Round the world and back again
the sixteen vessels have made their
way, floating fortified city. populated
by about the same number of persons
that inhabit and make up the city of
Marshalltown. In the fourteen months
this city with its steel citadels has
travelled $4,000 miles making its con-
nections here and there with regular
ity, moving in adjustment as per-
machine moves. 1T has had no SER
ious accidents. encountered no diff
culties that is has not readily sur
and with its citizens in good health.
Indeed it is announced that the ships
and men are in better condition than
when they left for the great cruise.
Imagine any such movement of men
and machines, think what 1t means to
move 10000 persons over such vast
distances and we shall gain some i'm
preston of the effectiveness that dis
cipline and training make possible.
1t was grand feat and worth all
and more than 1t has cost. Its effect
on the men and the nation is worth
all the trouble and expenditure. The
object lesson to other nations is an
item worth while and the "advertis-
ing" effect will appeal to all who know
the value of properly placing men and
nation before other men and other
nations for what they are worth.
The fleet has come home a solid
machine animated by quenchless
spirit. If we needed it today for fight
ing purposes we have one of the most
homogeneous and terrible OF COM
combined destroyers that we call fleets,
ever assembled, size for size. The
American navy believe itself nvinc-
ible. And the American people agrees
with the navy.
