that they must be related to the
Hebrew fnanciers and they were
dubbed Rothschilds. Later the terri
tory mentioned, they being residents
of that section at the time, became
known as Rothsclilds, and the name
has stuck to it ever since.
One of the projects the Blodgetts
planned in their day dreams was the
building of dam at that point TO
furnish power to drive the wheels of
a large manufacturing plant.
Alexander conquered Europe, Egypt

The Blodgetts carried on vast enter

The street car company changed
the name TO Pine park, which was

SALOON MEN FINED.

Fred Yonker and Albert Pregont
appeared before Justice r. N. Larner
last Wednesday and were found guilty
of selling liquor without a license.
They were arrested the day before on
the charge. At special meeting of
the city council they were granted a
permit to sell liquor on grounds
adjacent to the main entrance to the
fair grounds. Mayor Lamont refused
to sanction the action of the council
and told the saloon men that it was
illegal and ii they persisted in selling
liquor anywhere but at the place
granted by thej. license, they would
do it at their own risk. They took
the risk and as soon as this fact
became known the Law and Order
league served written notice ON the
above named men, notifying them
that under the law thy had no right
to sell liquor anywhere but the loca-
tion their license called for. They,
however, opened stand on Garfield
street Tuesday morning and began
the sale of liquors. Messrs. Rev. +.
H. Brigham, Brayton M. Smith and
f. w. Genrieh called upon them aid
asked them to desist, but they re-
fused, claiming that inasmuch as the
council had given them the right to
sell on those grounds they intended
20 do so.
Rev. Brigham then caused a
warrant to be issued for their arrest
and the sheriff seized their stock of
liquor.
On Wednesday several witnesses
were introduced who testified that
the defendants sold liquor on the
grounds facing Garfield street and
they were found guilty. They were
fined $50 and costs, but took an APP
peal to municipal court. The stock
of liquors seized at the stand will be
held in custody by the sheriff until
the case is settled. On circus day an
other saloon keeper sold liquor on the
circus grounds, having previously re-
ceiyed permit from the council 10
do so, but he was not molested.

THE NAME ROTHSCHILDS.

A. w. Mclaughlin of Plainfield,
spent several days in the city last
week attending the county fair and
visiting at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
": A. Anderson. Mr.. Mclaughlin is
an old resident of Central Wisconsin,
coming here in 1S49. When he first
came to Wausau he rode in wagon
hauled by an OK team. That was a
long time ago. Such progress has
been made in this age of inventions
that when he came up to the fair a
year ago, over the same roads, it was
in a JOY wagon.
Mr.. Mclaughlin for a time carried
mail between this city and Stevens
Point, and can tell many an interest
ing story of early day life in the
pinery.
Few people in the city know how
that territory lying contiguous to the
Wisconsin river, known as Roths-
childs, received its name. Some have
accepted the old worn out myth re-
garding a mysterious person, a mem
Der of the 2othschilds family, living
in that section at one time. The
story is ''neadbare. 1t is so old and
loosely pvt together that it leaks, as
does the local journal which ex-
dotted it. The mysterious" hermit
was no mystery to the people living in
that section at the time. There are
several farmers living in the town OF
Weston who knew him well, and they
describe him as a very companionable
man. who made no secret of his past
life.
Mr.. Mclaughlin lived in this sec
tion, as stated, at very early day
and tells the correct story of how
Rothschilds secured its name. There
we're living here at that time two
brothers of the name of Blodgett,
whom many of our oldest residents
viii remember. They did some con-
tract work in the way of logging,
hauling their logs to a sawmill situat-
ed on the Eau Claire river, at what IS
nov Schofield. These brothers we're
built very much on tie windbag or
der They were very rich in their
minds. In conversation With other
people they would tell of business
moves they contemplated making
moves requiring large capital to carry
out Capital was something not
known in their lexicon. The Blod-
getts came TO Hamerica from Hing
land, and at that time Baron koths-
chiIds and the other Shylocks Of that
name we're better known in the busi-
ness world than was the discovereT OF
Rib hill Because Of the fact that
the Blodgetts came from the tight
little isle, the home OF the Rotils-
childs, and were continually building

TOUCHED BY
DEATHS HAND.
Barney Aenew Passes Away From
Scenes Of Earth Without Struggle.

Seated in a chair in.the Northern
Pacific carpenter shop, where he had
evidently taken his accustomed place
to rest a moment from his nights
vigil, Barney Agnew was found
Wednesday morning, (Aug. 30 and
life was extinct.
Death had touched him with gentle
hand at some time between midnight
and dawn, and he had passed away
without even struggle. His hat was
lying on the table, where he had
placed it, and his cane was hanging
to the tables edge. His recumbent
position was one of apparent repose,
and when Andrew Rockne came into
the shop he started to waken Mr..
Agnew. Then he noticed the death
pallor and in silence withdrew to give
the information to others.
Barney Agnew, aged about 90, was
a well known character in Glendiye.
In his early days he was a Mississippi
river man, then he worked for the
Northwestern railroad in Wisconsin,
and long in the SOS came to Montana.
For a few years he was a section en-
ploye at Big Timber, but in 1902 he
came to Glendive and has since been
employed as night watchman in the
material yard and carpenter shop.
The cause of death was probably
rheumatism of the heart, as he had
been affected with this disease for a
number of years. The silent mes
senger must have brought the sum
mons at some time after 10 O'Clock
Tuesday night, for at that hour Tom
Thorsen says he saw the old gentle
man and ate a slice of watermelon
with him.
Surviving the deceased are his wife,
the faithful companion of many years;
a son, Denney, who is a conductor
running out of Forsyth; Tom, who is
on ranch near Glendiye; Barney, a
steam filter in the Northern Pacific
shops at Livingston, and two daugh-
Mamie, who lives at home, and
Mrs. r. f. Smith of Baker, Mont.
The funeral occurred today, being
conducted from st. Julian's Catholic
church by the Rev. Father Pauwelyn.
-Glendiye Review.
The above was taken from the
Glendiye Review of Aug. 9th, which
was sent to the PILOT by Nick Healy,
formerly chief of police of this city.
Barney Agnew for years was one OF
the best known pilots on the Wiscon-
sin river. His home was in Berlin,
Wis, and in the COS and 70's, Barney
made his headquarters in Wausau
and ran lumber to the Mississippi
river markets. He was jovial,
whole-souled man, and everybody
knew him. He has written several
letters for the PILOT during the past
few years, relating to his various
trips ''out the river" His old friends
here will learn with sorrow of his
death.

THE picturesque contour of the floating engine
i of battle, made familiar through drawings of
the marine artist is destined to sustain democrat
izing shock. 1t has, indeed, already been robbed
of the outward and visible elements that most
directly and impressively lend themselves to the
spectacular.
One of the ravages is represented by the passing
of the military mast-the heavy steel column, two
each ship,-with its fighting top in which were
located machine guns Nearly every picture of
warship in action has exhibited this elevated anna
ment popping away for dear life at encroaching tor
pedo craft. The military mast once-and not
many months ago-considered formidable
feature in the character sites of the batteshp 1t
is to be supplanted by the skeleton mast
steel strand structure sufficiently open in its inter-
lacng of metal supports to furnish the least possible
target for the gunners of the enemy.
Experiments, by actual attack in Hampton
Roads, have shown that this skeleton mast will stand
much liberation from projectes, though it is i'm
aginable that the observers the platform at the
top one hundred and twenty feet above the water
line, will have anything but pleasant time if the
opposing craftsmanship is halfway good. They are
there to make the observations that part of an
intricate mathematical determination of ranges
aid to accurate gunre in battle. 1t is necessary
in the system have two elevated positions each
ship where the observers shall remain undlsturbed
long possible The pictures of the first of the
skeleton masts to be installed, that the Idaho,
impart the impression of something transient as if
temporary staging for repairs had been erected
