TWO SENTENCED.

The bank robber, Jas. Kennedy, en-
tered a plea of guilty in circuit court
last Tuesday afternoon, after the
PILOT had closed its forms for press.
Frank Burns, charged with arson, did
likewise. Kennedy gave a short his
tory of his life to the court, carefully
guarding against saying anything
which migSt oidcKen his character,
ahdplaced the blame on his partner,
Ladd. Because of his youthfulness
he had been easily led into the scheme
by the Older man. Kennedy gave his
age as TWENTY-FIVE. He was sentenced
TO serve ten years imprisonment.
There is no doubt but what the man
belonged to an organized gang of
crooks, whose headquarters are in the
Twin cities, for just before the time
set for his trial he received letter
written in the criminal code, unintel-
ligible to anyone unfamiliar with the
code. Kennedy claimed ever since
his arrest that he never met Ladd
until after the two safes in Athens
were cracked. The state was pre-
pared to disprove this story and had
witnesses on hand to prove that Ladd
and Kennedy were camped in the
woods mile north of AbbotSford
from the latter part of August until
the Athens banks was blown The
middle of September. A woman was
camped with them, supposedly the
one who made two visits to this city
while Kennedy was in jail.
1t is not known what Kennedy's
right name is. He is Russian Pole
and vicious looking character.
Frank Burns, upon pleading guilty
to the charge of arson, was sentenced
to serve one year in the penitentiary.
He is the tramp who set fire to bed
clothing in the city jail.

LOSE TWO CHILDREN.

Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony Parsons, re
siding at 5l4 Jackson street, have the
sympathy of the public in double
affiiction which bowed their heads in
sorrow the past week Ten days ago
two of their children, Isabelle and
Grace, were in the full flush of health.
Today both are sleeping in that plot
of ground in which we all must find
our long rest. Monday, Dec. 6, they
were taken ill withScarlet fever, and
though medical aid was summoned at
once, they grew worse. Death marked
them for his own. He touched their
brows and they passed into childish
slumber-calm, serene.
The younger of the two, Grace, aged
two and half years, died Thursday
morning. Her sister Isabelle, aged
nearly nine years, closed her eyes upon
earthly scenes the same evening.
The funeral of both was held Satur-
day morning, the children being
buried in one grave. Rev. Jas. Duer
conducted services at the grave.
The visitation of Death to any
home is always a s Irrowful calamity,
but when he striRes twice in the
same family in one day, the anguish
is realized only by those who have ex-
perienced the pangs of such losses.

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

VIM. Lee of this place, with a crew
of twelve men, on what is called
"DeVlPs Creek" seven miles west of
Jenny, cut 100000 feet of logs this
past winter. The crew consisted of as
flne set of boys as ever shouldered
an ak, among them Ed Agnew and
Charley Field. The logs were put in
for K. K. Parcher, and are both for
size and quality, thought equal to any
ever banked in the pinery.
SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1869.
Some scamp stole $1,000 from the
drawer of Henry Dern on Sunday
while he was trying to put out a fire
in his house. Pretty mean fellow
that.
What has become Of our fire depart
ment? We haven't seen it yet.
The ice is still solid in the river.
Don Lamoreaux, son of w. V Lam
oreaux, arrived in town last evening
from Sac City, la. He was accom-
panied by Eli r. Chase, who has been
visiting in that section. We under
stand the latter is soon to locate at
Star Lake, fifteen miles from Sac City.
Jacob Paff has now on hand finely
selected stock of goods. John Patzer,
the gentlemanly clerk, will always be
ready to wait upon you.
An ordinance was passed at the last
meeting OF the village board OF
trustees, that all saloons within the
city limits be kept closed during the
entire day on Sundays and closed
every night during the week at ten
O'Clock. (Well, well, think of that,
nearly fifty years ago.-Ed.)
Frank Mathie, proprietor of the
new brewery, presented this Office
with keg of lager on Wednesday
which we are able TO say was a super
ior article.
There was fire in the new build
OF Henry Dern on Sunday. 1t started
near the law office of w. G. Silver
thorn, in the second story 1t was
soon quenched. The loss was about
$4,000.
Village nominations were made last
Thursday Judge Ringle was presi-
dent and Herman Miller secretary of
the meeting. The following were
named:

THE SECRET OF THE SUCCESS

which has attended the efforts of DR..
l.. NJ. Turbin, the Chicago specialist,
TO provide a source of relief for those
chronic sufferers who have given up
all hope, can be traced not only to
the deep study, scientific research
and naturally remarkable diagnostic
powers, resulting in complete mastery
of his chosen speciality of chronic dis
eases of men and women, but is also
due to his absolute fairness and hon
esty to his patients, in his conscien-
tiotAs and painStaking en9eayor to give
them the best treatment and advice
it is possible to obtain.
BY reason of his vast experience in
treating chronic affections which
battle the average general practitioner,
and the skillful methods employed in
eradicating disease, De. Turbin is en-
titled to the entire confidence OF those
in search of health. Those afflicted
wolld DO well to consult him without
delay, with the assurance that their
trust will hot be misplaced.
DR.. Turbm's reputation in the pro-
feSsion compelS proper appreciation
of his skill and oar friends and neigh
bors who have profited by his treat
ment, accord MIN the reputation of
being an em:nently reliable physician
in whom can be placed the utmost
confidence.
The manner in which so many have
been restored TO health through his
ministrations gives ample proof of
the esteem in which he is held in this
community. DR.. Turbin, although a
busy man, has visited our city one
day each month for many years, and
can be consulted free of charge, when
he visits Wausau, at the Bells Hotel,

LECTURE TONIGHT.

At least one out of every family
in Wausau should be present tonight
at the free lecture to be given by
Harvey Dee Brown, PHI. d. of Milwau-
kee. The lecture is to be given in
the assembly room of the high school
and during the course of the lecture
seventy lantern slides will be shown
in illustration of the subiect-Fight-
ing the White Plague.
Mr.. Brown is lecturer of wide eX-
perience and of high type. His
lecture is full of human sympathy
which wins the friendship of his
audience. During the present year
he has spoken on this subject before
at least $4,000 persons.
As the lecture tonight is TO be popu-
lar in character, every resident of
Wausau being welcome, it is quite
probable that there will be a very
large attendance. 1t therefore be-
hooyes people to go early and get
good seat.

STAMP SALES.

On Dec l, S. B. Tobey, principal of
the public schools, received $4,000 of
the Christmas stamps which have
been placed on sale by the Wisconsin
Anti-TuberculoSiS association, to aid
plague in Wisconsin. The stamps
have had such large sale that Mr..
Tobey was forced no order 5000 more,
$500 of which go to the Ladies' Liter
ary club.
Each school is vieing with the other
in disposing of these stamps, and it
may be necessary to order another lot
before Christmas. The association
has offered vacuum cleaner to the
city making the largest sale in pro-
portion to population, census of 1905.
A feature of the stamp sale which
is making the work valuable, in addi-
ton to the revenue derived, is the
educational part of it. Some time
ago literature on the subject of tuber-
culosis was distributed among the
children and now teachers in the diff
ferent departments are giving talks
to the students on the matter. 1t is
being explained to them that con-
sumption is not hereditary and is
durable; that good food, fresh air and
sunlight are. necessary. They also
explain how the money derived from
the stamp sale is used to stamp out
the disease. 1t is believed that if the
children are given information on the
subject that they will educate their
parents along the same lines. Thus
the stamp sale is as largely a matter
of education as of revenue.
The merchants of the city are CO.
operating in the sale. Not only have
the merchants readily accepted the
stamps when asked to do so, but
many have made application for them.
The fact that the association redeems
all unsold stamps, makes it an easy
matter to place them in stores.

DEATH OF AGED MAN,

Relatives in this city were notified
Thursday morning Of the death of
John SchuetZ OF the town of Wausau.
who died that morning at the home
of his son Carl in the town of Wau-
sau. Old age was the cause of death,
he having nearly attained his eighty
first year. Mr.. Schuetz came to this
country nearly half century ago
and settled on farm in the wilder
ness of what is now the town of Wau-
Sau, and had resided there ever since.
He and his wife spent the best years
of their life in hewing out a farm,
upon which they could live in comfort
in their declining years. When they
retired from the activities of farm
work they continued to reside on the
old homestead, their son working the
farm.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and four children. The latter are
Mrs. Anton Mehl, city; Mrs. Carl
Lang and Carl Schuetz, town of Wau-
sau; Rudolph, town Of Texas. He is
also survived by one brother, Anton,
of this city.
The funeral was held yesterday

Another Son of Ohio.
BY the induction into office today of

of being known as pre-eminentiy the
mother of presidents, has been taken
from Virginia. The old domain NAV
still lay claim to having had in the
presidential chair as many of her fav
orite sons as any state, but the record
in maintained through the elevation
of Vice President Tyler to the presi-
dency. -Four Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, have
been elected president, and Tyler serv-
ed out the uneXpired term OF William
Henry Harrison. Five Ohioans have
been elected president-William Henry
Harrison, Hayes. Garfield, Mckinley
and Taft. No vice president from that
state has attained the higher office,
| New York also has furnished five
| presidents--Van Buren,, Fillmore, Ar
thur Cleveland and Roosevelt, but as

presidency only by virtue, of complet-
ing nnexpired terms vacated through
death. the record of the Empire state
also falls short of that of Ohio AS all
