ASSESSMENT In DISPUTE.

The village board of Schofield met
Friday evening for the purpose of ad-
jllsting differences between the village
and the Brooks & Ross Lumber Co.
1t appears that in the past, some of
the land owned by the lumber com
pany has been considered practically
worthless, but different opinion is
held today. The company claims that
it has been unjustly assessed. The as
SCISSOR, Chas. n Goff, claims otherwise.
AT the meeting Friday evening the
company was represented by M. B..
Rosenberg and the village by Atty.
j. w. Coates. No satisfactory settle
ment was reached and an adjournment
was taken to next Friday evening,
1t is possible that the two contending
factions will so mince matters that a
re-assessment will be ordered. The
rapid development of the town of
Weston it appears has had much to
do with the controversy, although
most of the lumber company's prop
erty is situated in the village of Scho-
field. The raise in the price of lands
in the surrounding territory has had
much to do with the controversy.

THE COUNTY SQUARE.

Since the last issue of the PILOT,
we have received many words of COM
mendation regarding the article on
our county square. All agree that
the square should be attended to and
the sooner the better. One individual
who has given considerable study to
landscape work, has drawn up a
couple of designs, showing how the
square should be arranged to enhance
its beauty. He has placed walks on
the north and south sides and adjoin-
ing those on the east and west. He
has indicated where shrubbery should
be placed and few flower beds where
they will be the most effective. The
PILOT editor has talked with mem
bers of the Civic Improvement league
and it is possible something may be
accomplished so that after this sum-
mer we may have square that will
be q credit To our county and city
This is matter of very little ex-
pense but it will add materially to
the beauty of the county square, to
our beautiful court house and to our
CITY.

TWO FEET OF HAIL.

Last Saturday afternoon one of the
most severe hail storms that has ever
been reported in this section of the
state passed through the eastern part
of the county, destroying crops and
doing great damage to buildings.
Live stock also suffered to more or
less extent, chickens and geese in
large numbers being killed. 1t is
said that in places after the storm
had passed the hail stones lay in
riffs eighteen. inches deep, and that
the farmers gathered up the pellets
of ice and used them to make ice
cream. Hail stones as large as eggs
fell. The storm was also accompan-
led by severe wind. One farmer on
his way home from Stevens Point
had his horse and buggy blown onto
a wire fence, smashing the buggy
and injuring the horse, while he es-
capped unhurt. The storm seemed to
have been confined to a narrow strip
OF territory, doing the most damage
in the vicinity of Shantytown and
Pike Lake, 20 miles east of this city.

ROBBER SENTENCED.

Judge A. H. Reid went to Merrill
Thursday where he opened court to
listen to the plea of guilty entered
by John Laya, the bank robber. The
Judge accepted the plea and sentenced
the robber to serve term of eight
years In the Green Bay reformatory.
Laya, it will be remembered, was one
OF party of four which entered the
German American bank of Merrill
one day last May, and at the point of
Tifies made the cashier dig up over
1000 in cash. In the running fight
which followed Laya was shot and
severely wounded and has been i'm a
hospital nearly ever since. Martin
Krigiboes, who was captured with
him, was sentenced some time ago to
serve ten years in the state peniten-
tiary The other two escaped capture.
Laya was the one carrying the booty
and the hand satchel containing the
'swag' together with $5 of the rob-
bers' money was found near him, the
bank gaining s. in the transaction.

A FEATURE.

One of the features of the coming
state fair which should prove of gen
eral interest is the exhibit now be-
ing planned by secretary Cranetield
of the State Horticultural society.
In booth adjoining horticultural
Hall daily demonstrations will be
given in preparing Bordeaux mixture
and the other standard compounds
used in fighting bugs and diseases
which attack fruit and vegetables.
In addition all the different spray
pumps and machinery used in apply
ing the remedies will be shown in
actual operation. Everything will be
here from the tiny bellows used in
busting house plants to the six horse
power gasoline engine spray outfit
drawn by two horses. Such demon
strations as these may easily prove of
more benefit than tors of bulletins
giving formulas and directions.
Everyone interested in garden or
orchard should see this exhibit.

UNSAvORY ODORS.

1t seems that unsavory odors are
prevalent in other places besides
Wausau. We have heard it remarked
many times what is the peculiar
odor which seems to peryade the
whole atmosphere?" 1t has been
generally laid to the escaping of gas
from the mains and the sewer gas,
but the following clipping from a
Chippewa Falls paper may solve the
problem.
For the past couple of weeks our
citizens have been noticing an un-
pleasant odor about town. Various
reports were started as to the cause
|of it. One was that some dead
animal had been hauled into the
rayine and left unburied Dr. Krohn,
the city health officer, was finally
called upon to determine the source
|of disturbance. He made due in
quiry and strict investigation of all
reports as to dead animals, but dis
covered them to be unfounded He
then turned to other fields of investi-
cation and finally found the cause of
the trouble to be a hGtle silver
colored bug, which is uncommonly
numerous this season. These odor-
iferous little bugs are small in size,
but for smelling propensities they
seem to be cross between a bedbug
and the pole cat. One of these little
silver bugs will scent up a whole
room, and dozen of them will fur
.nish smell big enough for linn
burger cheese factory. They fly about
in the evening, and are SO small that
they are generally unseen. They
have no wings or fame like the
lightning bug, and no honkhorn like
the mosquito. They are noiseless
and without signal lights, but they
beat a flea for pernicious activity.
So, If you should notice disagree
able odor about your premises, don't
go to searching about the tall grass
in your back yard for the remains of
a deceased cat, as one party in town
did, but get your bug juice and go
after the silver bug"
