BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Among the things that came up at
the meeting of the board of education
last evening was the question of the de-
STABILITY of using the school buildings
under careful restriction and supervis.
ion for promoting in a large way the
social and educational life of the com
munity. A committee consisting of the
committee on rules of the board and
the superintendent of schools and the
principal was appointed to report at the
next regular meeting. x was voted TO
grant the use OF the gymnasium at the
Franklin and Lincoln schools one night
in the week for the physical training of
the young men in the neighborhood OF
those schools under the direction of the
superintendent of schools and Mr. Neal
Campbell, Y. NJ. &. A. secretary.
The board voted To purchase n cabi-
net and two pictures for the deaf school
to be paid for out of funds provided by
the state for such purposes
The board decided also to buy a mi
croscope for the botany laboratory
some adjustable desks for the Washing
ton school, and some cork mating for
the lower hall of the high school
Scott and Denny was adopted as the
English text book for the beginning
English classes in the high school
The committee on buildings and
grounds was authorized TO find ont the
cost of the lot owned by the Wausau
Law and Land association, opposite the
Eranklin school, and to ascertain upon
what terms the city lot opposite the
same school could be secured for school
purposes.
II was decided not 10 have any school
on Lineoln's birthday.
The usual bills were allowed and or
eered to be paid

FEBRUARY FRlvOLITY.

February received its name in the old
Roman days from Februus, an Etruscan
god affected with dyspepsia. History
gives US little information about him,
more than TO intimate that he was
"worser" than Carrie Nation, and that
he prepared this earth for the subse-
quent appearance of President Castro.
Many celebrated men were born in
February, Washington, Muldoon, Lin
coin, Billy Patterson, E. A. Poe,
Schlatter, John Doe and others.
February will be an eventful month
this year as it will mark the passing of
a gentleman in Washington, known as
L. Roosevelt Hereafter he win be
heard of only occasionally, when other
important news is given TO the world,
such as new found husband for the
Gould millions
On the I'd, the ground hog joined the
Ananias club The 18th marks the birth
of Abraham Lincoln and at least one
Wausau man will say: "Hurrah for the
old flag" st. Valentines day comes
on the 18th. That is the day when
American art gets a boost. There are
still some valentines on the market,
made when our artists had to compete
with the cheap labor of Europe. Look
ing over the market supply you will be
able to determine whether art, like the
steel trust, is able to take care of itself,
or whether it needs some more of Joe
Cannon's baby food. Tomorrow the
electoral vote will be counted by both
houses of congress and it will be found
that Taft has 32l and Bryan 1862 The
counting will prove nothing, but it will
be somewhat mbarrassing The 22d
will be the birthday of well known
gentleman, g. Washington. George
was called the father of his eountry
just why we never learned, but we
suppose it was because he never wrote
a nature fake, lied about western
timber deal or Panama steal, or repre-
scented the Standard Oil company when
his country wasn't looking de al
ways travelled the unsuspicious track.
Ash Wednesday comes on the 24th.
That marks the end of the season for
sitting ashes, and Immediately follow
ing cores the total abstinence season
the time when venerable cold storage
fish have great run.
Lett be remembered by all reading
these lines that there is no other paper
printed in the county which gives as
much news and reading matter to the
public in February and every other
month, as does the PILOT, and there are
none quite so good as an advertising
medium Let il also be remembered
that the PILoT has well equipped job

CALLED TO MILWAUKEE.

O 4 Wells was called to Milwaukee
to pa. ticipate in the deliberations of
the legislative committees of the Wis
consin Teachers association and the
County Superintendents' association,
led by President McKenny and Prof.
Pat2er, Of the Milwaukee Normal
school. Principals Olson, Christensen,
Jackson and Thomson, representing
other training schools, were in attend
ance. Supt Kelley, of Dodge county,
was the only county superintendent
present, others invited being unable to
attend Prolonged sessions were held
Saturday afternoon and evening, and
Sunday forenoon and afternoon, the
chief topic discussed were the qualifica-
tons and certification of teachers in the
common and state grade schools The
force and effect of those certificates,
and minimum salary law. AS these
are not isolated subjects of legislation
and administration the discussions
sometimes ranged for field yet as often
returned and revolved around them as
the central themes. 1t was a candid,
heart to heart, round table oonsidera-
ton of vital questions, without passion,
prejudice, or Interior motive, which
will be long remembered with pleasure
by those who took part in it.

AWAY FOB lis HEALTH.

The old friends of VIM. Wilson win
regret To learn that he has not been in
his usual good health for some time
Recently he was taken sick with neu-
ralgia aud it reduced him quite con-
siderable, so he departed on Tuesday
evening for Evansville, Indiana, where
he will visit at the home of his son,
VIM. Wilson, Jr, until next June Mr.
Wilson is an old citizen of Wausau,
having resided here since 1852, making
81 years. Over half century is good
while to live in one city and most of
that time his home has been on the
block on which the post Office now
stands. MIR Wilson built his home on
the corner of Fourth and Scott streets,
over fifty years ago, when that part of
our city was yet filled with stumps and
old fallen timber, and it was there Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson reared their family to
manhood and womanhood. Mr. Wilson
was born in the state of New York in
1929 and during this year he will attain
his S0th year. Mr. Wilson has been
rugged and in good health until recent
ly and all hope for an early recovery
from his present indisposition

IN COLD STORAGE

A case is being tried in circuit court,
brought by the plaintiff to secure a
Judgment of damages. The parties to
the suit all live in Edgar. The plaintiff
is Peter Meyer and the defendants are
Thos. Hill and Aug. barge. The plain
tiff alleges in his complaint that he met
the defendants in the village one night
about three years ago and that they
assaulted him without Just cause or
provocation and afterward locked him
in refrigerator car. 1t was case of
putting man in cold storage. They
allowed him to remain in the car the
greater part of the night, he alleges,
much to his discomfort and fear He
failed to prosecute Immediately and
did not start an action until last sum-
mer. All of the parties are well known
in the village. The defendants have
heretofore borne good reputation, we
learn, and many doubt their guilt in the
affair. Hill, we learn, denies any
knowledge of the assault.
