The Wright brothers Of aeronautic
fame are incidentally exceedingly.
shrewd business men. Just at pres
ent they are devoting vastly more at
tention to marketing their rights III
their aeroplane, than to perfecting it.
They expect within the next year or
two to make themselves millionaires;
and they are the more concerned TO
sell what they have, because they
know the possibility that somebody
else will build better heavier-than-
air machine, and ruin their market
They are letting no grass grow under
their feet, therefore, in connection
with their negotiations for rights.
Thus far the Wrights have sold
their French rights for $150,0O0 10
the French government. That was a
particularly good deal, and they got,
under the circumstances, an excellent
figure. They wanted to sell to an
important government, in order to
4whet the appetites of other countries.
They made a quick deal and We're
highly pleased with 1t. Italy's govern
ment did not show a disposition to
deal with them at once, and so they
have sold the rights for that company
to syndicate of gentlemen who have
various plans for making it a good
thing They will sell to the Rome
government if later it decides that it
must have the device; if not, they
will make their money out of the deal
by exhibitions, etc.
Germany and England are now ne
gotiating with the Wrights, and the
prospects are reported excellent for 4
good deal with each. Germany is
determined to let nothing escape her
in the way of aeronautic progress,
while Britain is SO scared that she
is regarded as especially good mar
ket for anything with promise attach

A TRIP INTO THE WILDS OF
WISCONSIN.

On July 9Th, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Babcock, Jr., departed in their Ford
runabout for points in northern Wis
consin. Their first objective point
was at Dam lake, in the Sugar Camp
chain; thence TO Eagle River and
Twin lakes and then TO many places
on the Eagle chain, passing along old
deserted logging roads and In many
instances, where an automobile had
never passed before and over which a
heavy touring car could not have
passed. Only at one place did they
meet with any trouble and that was
on hill where there had been
washout and here the lightness Of the
automobile made it possible, with
very little work, TO safely pass the
dangerous point. They also went up
TO the state line and into upper Mich
igan. During the trip Of nearly two
weeks in the wilds Of northern Wis
consin, they saw many fine specimens
Of deer and occasionally would run
into fiocks Of partridges that would
scatter like 50 many chickens. They
had no trouble at all with their Ford
machine, in fact 1t run perfectly
throughout the trip bringing them
from Eagle River to their home in
this city on Friday, July 18th.

GREAT BUSINESS HEAD.

E. H. Stelk, a young man who has
been employed in the city for some
time, was arrested on Friday last. 1t
appears that Stelk purchased bill Of
goods of Chas. Helke a short time
ago, paying a small amount down and
agreeing to pay the balance by small
payments monthly 1t is alleged that
little later he mortgaged the furpi-
ture, JOS Sickinger holding the paper
As soon as he had placed the mort
gage on his goods, it is said, he sold
the furniture to Leopold Kreider, a
second hand dealer on Washington
street, and then ''fiew his kite" The
sheriff succeeded in locating him on
Friday. The young man communi-
Gated with his father in Rock Island,
H., and the latter came here yester-
day and is making an effort to
straighten out his sons entangle-
ments. The latter is an electrician
by trade and was married since COM
ing here

TWO SENTENCED.

JOS. Banning, arrested some weeks
ago on the charge of forgery, entered
a plea of guilty to that charge yester-
day and was sentenced to serve
term of two and one-half years In the
penitentiary.
Banning was arrested the latter part
of June in the town Of Day, upon
complaint of John Brinkman. The
man, until he got into his present
difficulties, bore good reputation
and served his town at one time as
treasurer. Getting short of money
he borrowed some of the towns
funds, and, as usual in most such
cases, was unable to replace it before
the game of politics placed another in
possession of his Office. Brinkman
was one of his sureties and he gave
the latter note for 81 ,00e TO REIN
burse him for the money he had put
up to cover Baining's shortage. The
names Mat and Peter Folz appeared
on the note as endorsers. When the
time the note was to run had expired
it was found that the endorsers'
names had been forged Banning
spent several months in the West
and when he returned a short time
ago he was arrested.
John z. Baker, an account of whose
recent forgeries was given In our last
issue, entered a plea of guilty yester-
day in municipal court and was sen
fenced to serve three years In the
penitentiary.

THROWN INTO FENCE.

The Modern Brotherhood of Ameri-
ca gave picnic Sunday in the fair
grounds park There was program
of races, etc, the most interesting of
which were the motorcycle events.
There were seven entries as follows:
John Schwister, John Nutter, Leo
Leitz, Tony Fehl Arthur Roller, Geo.
Dern and Conrad Anthem. There
were three 3-mile and one smile
events. The threes were won by
John Schwister, Conrad Anthem and
Geo. Dern. The latter also won the
5-mile race, the time for the latter
being 7:41t or an average of about 1:28
for each mile. In one of the 3-mile
races Leo I.3itz was thrown head fore
foremost into the fence Today his
right eye is closed and the flesh above
and back of the eye is badly swollen,
discolored and lascerated.
1t is quite likely that these same
young men, and possibly several others,
will participate in the motorcycle
races to be given at the county fair
next fall

A NOTABLE
NUPTIAL EVENT.
Miss Lita Heinemann, Daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. B. Heinemann, and Edward
S. Steinam, Married Thurs
day Evening

The marriage of Miss Lita Heine-
mann, of this city, to Mr.. Edward S.
Steinam, of New York City, took
place at the residence of the brides
+ parents, on Franklin street, Thursday
evening, July 18th, 1909, at the hour
of g. O'Clock P. NJ and was witnessed
only by the relatives of the contract
ing parties and was performed in a.
very impressive manner by DR..
Gerechter, of Appleton.
The bride was attended by her
sisters, the Misses Belle and Dorothy
Heinemann, and the groom by DR..
Edwin B. Tuteur of Chicago, as ''best
man" and Gabe B. Heinemann, brother
of the bride, as groomsman.
At the appointed hour, Mrs. Reel,
nee Ullman, and her sister, Miss
Beatrice Ullman, cousins of the bride,
sang the wedding march from the
opera Lohengrin, accompanied by the
orchestra; during its progress the
wedding party proceeded into a can
vas covered area adjoining the home
and which took in the spacious lawn
west of the residence. This had been
transformed into a bower of beauty,
resembling a tropical garden, with its
profusion of foliage, palms, ferns,
potted plants and flowers. Wide car
peted aisleS led to canopied altar at
the extreme west side of the covered
and enclosed space, which was con-
structed of asparagus ferns. The
aisles were divided off with daisy
chains and all, with its handsome
electric light effects, presented a
picture of beauty which will not soon
be effaced from the memories of those
who were present. The spacious aisles
afforded ample room for all to witness
the tying of the nuptial knot which
was solemnized at the altar,
Following the ceremony, congratu-
lations were extended the bridal
couple, and at $50 O'Clock wedding
dinner was served in the dining room
by caterer Strauss of Milwaukee, who
came TO Wausau for the occasion, ac-
companied by his corps of experienced
assistants. The dining room was
handsomely decorated with cut flow
ers, palms and ferns, and the center
piece to the table was a large basket
of pink roses, with sprays of lilies of
the valley. The home decorations
throughout were of cut flowers, palms,
ferns and American beauty roses.
Especially was the spacious porch
curtained in-with its decorations,
furnishings and electric lights, made
very charming TO look upon. All was
arranged by Messrs. Fleischman of
Chicago, and Philips of this city, for
lists and decorators.
The reception which followedat 2
O'Clock was q brilliant social society
event, characterized by a delightful
spirit OF infcrmality, elegant costumes
and generous hospitality.
The guests were received at the en-
trance of the home by Messrs. Gus,
Walter and Gabe Heinemann, and
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1909-07-20

when wraps were laid aside they were
ushered into the presence of the re-
ceiving party-Mr. and Mrs. b. Hejne-
mann, Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Steinam and
Miss Steinam, who were stationed at
the altar, in the canvas enclosed gar
deL. They were then greeted by the
Misses Belle and Dorothy Heinemann,
who directed them to the dining
room, where dainty refreshments
were served. An orchestra furnished
music during the wedding and recep-
tion hours and, as it were, music of
sweet lutes gushed forth from the
midst of roses"
About 300 of our citizens took oc-
casion to extend their sincere con-
CALCULATIONS and at its conclusion,
Mr. and Mrs. Steinam departed for
the East at 11:l5 O'Clock, going di-
rectly to New York City, where they
spenL the Sabbath with Mr. Steinam' S
father, who vas too i'll to be present
at the wedding From there they
departed, Monday morning, for the
White Mountains in New Hampshire
After a brief stay there they will go
to their summer home at Elbron,
near Long Branch, where they will
spend the summer. They will be at
home in New York City after Sep
TENDER 18TH
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Heinemann.
AS hel home has always been here it
is unnecessary for the Pilot to say
more than that she is young lady
who has ever held the admiration
and esteem of legion of friends.
She was graduated from the Wausau
high school, class of 1903, and for sew
eral years was very successful in our
kindergarten schools in which she
was very much interested. She is
also a graduate of the Emerson school
of Boston. That her home is to be
elsewhere than Wausau is very much
regretted.
Mr.. Steinam is from New York City
and is member of one of that city's
largest banking institutions.
