PASTEURIZING.

The John kiefer Cold Storage COM
pany set the machinery in operation
Yesterday which will, in the future
all of its ice cream and but
ter. AS before mentioned by the
PILor. when the company purchased
the plant of the Marathon Dairy Co.,
the latter had all the machinery for
pasteurizing milk, butter, ice cream,
etc. This had been put in at a great
cost hoping to be able to keep up the
plant by furnishing the citizens of
WauSau paSteurized milk. 1t was
only another evidence of putting in
an Institution that could not be main
tanned by city of this size. The ex-
peflSes could not be kept up. Eyentu-
ally the plant was disposed of to the
kiefer Cold Storage company. Since
that time no milk or cream have been
retailed from the plant. but butter
and ice cream have been manufac-
taFed, nor has any pasteurizing been
done. Owing 10 the spread of tuber-
culosis throughout the country among
COWS, the company has begun the
work of pasteurizing and as before
stated viii pasteurize all of its butter
and ice cream 1t is very enterprising

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

The suggestion has been made by
Rev. johnson, that a contagious hos
pital be erected for Wausau. This is
a question which has bothered our
good people, more or less, 10, these
many years. When one was really need
ed there was none and this condition
would occur at least every four or
five years. The use for such a build
ing viii become more frequent as the
years pass by and Wausau grows in
population. 1t is only necessary Tor
the workers in this enterprise TO
organize and raise the necessary
means for this work. Wausau has
the wealth and the Wausau spirit
back of it and it only needs proper
manipulation to make the venture a
success.
In the discussion of this matterstwo
splendid suggestions have been
brought forth. One by Rev. f. H,
Brigham is that the churches should
unite in arranging for an institution
where girls could board and room, at
9, low figure. 1t is fact that Wau-
sau has from fifty to sixty young lady
teachers each year whose homes are
outside of the city, They are scat
tered in residences all over the city
and many have very hard work to
get accommodated at any cost. What
boon it would be ii a large resi-
dence could be had where in this in
stance, only. young ladies would be
taken and given a. comfortable home
at reasonable rates. This would re-
quire only a small outlay, as no doubt
capable woman could be secured to
take charge and do the furnishing
and supplying, provides ? part of the
rent could be. supplied. This is a
matter of vast importance to our
city. The need of such an institu-
tion is urgent and constant.
Another splendid suggestion VAS
made by Rev. Crippen, that Wausau
should have combination park,
pavilion and playground, &c an easy
walking distance from the center of
the city. Now, here is chance for
our philanthropically inclined citi-
zeas to do something to perpetuate
Their names. The PILOT moves that
$50, 900 of the various swollen fortunes
of this city be set aside for the purpose
of building park and playground at
this end of the street car line.

FOREST HOUSE RUINS.

Workmen, in digging the excaya-
ton for the Junkerman garage on
south Third street, have uncovered a
portionN of the stone foundation
of the old Forest House and some OF
the debris left after the fire which
destroyed that building. The strut
ture, as all the old residents will re.
member, stood on the present site of
the east side engine house. The first
building was erected in very early
day, in the late i40's. or early
sos. Later portion of the build
ing was moved down on Grand Ave.
and has for many years been occupied
by Gustav Mueller as residence.
Another portion is the building now
occupied by Hans Weik as saloon and
living quarters. after the removal
of the original building Chas. Single
built new hotel on the site. 1t was
large four story structure, in
keeping with the conveniences OF
frontier hotels of that time. 1t was
a popular place and at one time was
the home of many of our best citi-
Zens. On the night of Aug. ,, 1878,
the building caught fire and was re-
dnced to ashes and was never rebuilt.
The loss was estimated at $25, 900.
About twenty years age, when the
city decided To build new engine
house, when the old one which was
situated on The present Washington
school site became inadequate for
growing city, the old Forest House
site was chosen.
From the appearance of what can
be seen of the debris of the fire none
of the old burned boards or rubbish
was removed, but the basement was
simply filled in with earth. 1t Is
nearly thirty-ene years since the
hotel was destroyed, yet to an old
, resident, who pays little attention to
the tieeting years, it seems but short
time ago.

Chamberlain's Liniment.

This is new preparation and good
one. 1t is especially valuable as a cure
for chronic and muscular rheumatism,
and for the relief from pain which 1t
affords in acute inflammatory rheuma-
tism. Those who have used 1t have
invariably spoken Of 1t in the highest
terms of praise. Lame back, lame
shoulder and stiff neck are due to
rheumatism of the muscles, usually
brought on by exposure to cold or
damp, and are quickly cured by apply
ing this liniment freely and massag-
ing the affected parts. Soreness of
the muscles, whether induced by vio-
lent exercise or injury, is allayed by
this liniment. For sale by w. W.

MRS. H. p. MAYNARD
Passes Away Saturday After Long
Illness,

Mrs. ii. p. Maynard died Saturday
morning at the home of Mrs. A. p.
Bailey, 6l2 Fourth street, after long
illness. She had been an invalid the
greater part of the winter and in fact
had not been in good health since her
husbands death nearly eight years
ago. To those familiar with her con-
dition the news of her death came as
no surprise.
Eunice Appleby Maynard was born
in Old Town, Me-, Feb. ?, 1885. She
resided there until her marriage to
Harlan p. Maynard, June 30, 1867,
Shortly after their marriage they
moved to Pendleton, KY. They re-
sided in that state about four years
when they moved to Wisconsin, set
Ting in Peshtigo, where for number
of years Mr.. Maynard followed his
trade of millwright, working for the
late VIM. Ellis. They moved to Wau-
sau in 1876, Mr.. Maynard entering the
grocery business, which he continued
for many years. Later he acted as
agent for the Jackson Milling Co. of
Centralia, and in 1897 again embarked
in the grocery business, continuing it
but short time. Mr.. Maynard was
one of the promoters of the Wausau
Telephone Co. and its first vice-presi-
dent. He passed from this life Nov.
81, 1901.
Mrs. Maynard was lady OF culture
and education and a very pleasant
lady withal. She was one of the
founders of the Ladies Literary club,
which was organized in 1877, and up
to her last illness had always been a
very active member She was also
one of the founders of the local branch
of the w. C. T. u, and her work for
the cause of temperance was always
very energetic. Besides being one of
the founders of these two societies,
she was also charter member of the
Foreign Missionary society of the
Presbyterian church, which was or
ganized in 1877, and she had been a
member of the PRESBYTERIAN church
since July 2, 1876. Thus it will be
seen that socially ano religiously she
played large part in those circles in
this city, and in her death The organi-
cations mentioned lose valued
member
After her husbands death Mrs.
Maynard sold her home on First
street and departed from the city,
going to live with sister in Lowell,
Mass. She resided there four years,
but the ties which bound her to Wau-
sau and the scenes of the happy years
she had spent among our people were
so often recalled that she decided 10
return and she came back Two years
ago, to 'remain until she died" as
she expressed it.
In her death Wausau has lost an
old resident whose life has been active
for the uplift of others and who was
valued as a neighbor and friend.
Deceased is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Frank Tyler, of Middlesex, Mass,
and a neice, Mrs. Geo. Bythers, Still
water, Me.
The funeral services were conducted
in the Presbyterian church yesterday
afternoon at two o.clock by the Rev.
Jas. NJ. Duer The remains repose
beside those of her husband in Pine
Grnva cemetery

pose of electing officers, etc. Presi-

al address in which he urged active
work for the identifying of our city.
He called attention to many things

In the series which opened in La
Crosse Sunday the Wausau team has
not Jared very well. Sundays game
resulted in "a victory for the home
team, Wausau losing in the ninth
inning. Again yesterday the home
team was victorious by score of 7-6.
Players Dickinson, Brennan Cox
bert, Mitchell, Heath, Wakefield,
Elsehart and Bunge have been given
green ticket, and will have to look
for jobs elsewhere. Some of them
give promise of being ball players but
they require more experience before
attempting to hold down jobs in a
Class d organization. Dickinson was
sold to Superior. He is pitcher.
Dooner arrived in the city Thurs
day and will splay here the balance of
the season, unless he falls down. Hy-
ger has been secured from Eau Claire,
and Dalquist an outfelder and pitcher,
has been purchased from ST. Paul.
The Wausau management has
traded Pitcher Stremmel to Superior
for Wilson and Magee. The trade
practically amounts to nothing to
Superior, except as to a title on
Stremmel.
A base bali team composed OF mem
bers of the local lodge of M. B. A,
No. TIA has been organized.
Magee, Wilson, Hyzer and Dooner,
new men, worked in Fridays game
and made a good showing. In this
game some team work was shown and
there was ali absence of costly errors.
The most serious error made was by
the manager of the Superior team,
who kicked too strongly on decision
of the umpire and he was put of the
field.
The season opened OF Wednesday,
with large crowds in attendance at
all the games. The games of the first
series were for the most part pretty
ragged on account of errors, but as
the season advances and the inferior
players are weeded out, the games
will improve. The scores in the Wau-
sau-Superior series were:
Wednesday Wausau /; Superior 6.
Thursday !" 13; II.
Friday /" 4: 3.
Saturday Rain.
The team departed Saturday night
for Lacrosse to open series of four
games. Next Thursday Eau Claire
comes here, followed by Duluth.
Brennan and Colbert, released by
Wausau, have gone to Merrill to play.
Superior has an Indian first base
man. He is called Heap Big Chief by
the other members of the team. The
Wausau Indian, Mitchell, was let go
because he was not fast enough. He
made a good record some years ago,
but his work at present is on the
decline.
1t begins to look as if Duluth and
Superior teams are not as strong as
they were tauted before the season
opened.

Interesting Athletic Event.

The second athletic event to be null
ed off by the Windham Athletic club
promises to be an interesting one. The
card for Friday night includes a pre-
llminary boxing bout of four rounds.
to be followed by a wrestling match

Charles PiroLp Of the CannonbaII
Athletic club of New London is EXPECT

sports viii be glad to hear this, as he
is thoroughly impartial and we'll up
in the intricate points of the game.
Kid Wilkinson is said to be very
clever. but Young Shea of this CITY is
pretty nifty and handy with his dukes
and some good sparring is looked for
by those who are Versed in the art.
Bill Collins won many friends in this
city in his recent match with big Jim
Barnes of Springfield. and they VIII all
be on hand to cheer him on to victory
Friday night. He is a clean cut. quiet
and unassumfng chap that would make
good anywhere.

WiIlimantic, Danielson and Putnam

was last week Wednesday, when a fire
was built to dry out the house.
The fire was discovered during the
noon hour and word was sent to Fire
Chief Wade U. Webster, who gathered
a bunch of firenen and was all ready
to start for Mansfield Center when he
received word that there was no need,
as the house and contents were DOOM
ed
The origin of the fire is not known,
but 1t is the opinion that the fire that
was built last Wednesday had contin-
ued to shoulder away in the old Chin
ney until at last it gained sufficient
Roadway to burst into flame, firing the
adjoining woodwork, or that the blaze
was started by rats chewing at matches
that might have been lying around.
The property was occupied summers
by L. IL. Dewing and family Of Hart
ford, and was in charge of Raymond
Dodd. who lives on the Dewing farm
but he is at a loss to account for the
fire
The original house was over 200
years old, but had been thoroughly re-
modelled and was a beautiful home
containing much fine furniture and val
liable personal property. 1t is believ-
ed that the loss will total in the vi
cinity of $4,000, said to be fully COW
cred by insurance.
A local company carried policies for
$4,000 on the house and furniture, and
q member Of the company stated that
he was Of the opinion that the loss,
which was practically a complete one,
would foot up considerably more than
the amount of the insurance.
