RIVER PINES SANITORIUM.

The PILOT editor was in Stevens
Point between trains on Wednesday
and took the opportunity TO visit the
River Pines SanitOrium. This insti
tuition is fast gaining fame as one OF
the best in this country, for the sue
ceSSful treatment of tuberculosis. AS
its name implies, it is located on the
banks of the Wisconsin river, in q
dense grove of white pines. For miles
up and down the river the forest is
dense, and winding in and out are ole
roads, perhaps old logging roads used
in the early days of the pinery, or at
least roads which are seldom used
making them all the more inviting.
The sanitorium is about two miles
south of Stevens Point, and the ap-
proach to it is through the health
laden pines. From casual observ-
ance we noted buildings as follows:
A handsome clubhouse where patients
who are able may amuSe themselves.
The upper story has sitting rooms
and out door sleeping rooms. A
dormitory, a large dining hall and
steam heating plant, residences in
which the physicians reside; payilions
on the banks of the river, and up
wards of a dozen cottages in which
the patients are treated. ALI rooms
are heated by steam and have sewers
to the Wisconsin river. Water is
distributed throughout by means of a
steam pump and the most sanitary
conditions prevail. A patient is kept
out in the fresh air most of the time
day and night; given the most nourish-
ing food obtainable; is kept constant
ly under the eye of the very best
medical practitioners of the country;
is attended by the best Of nurses, and
in fact is placed at once on vantage
ground and given chance of fight
ing for health with everything in his
favor. The buildings are all placed
where they can get the sunshine. 1t
is an ideal place and everything up
to-date, and along the most approved
lines for the treatment of patients as
prescribed by the leading physicians
of the world. The sanitorium was
established in 1906, and is in charge
of Dr. Thomas Hay, physician who
is widely known and who has given
many years of life to the work.
Perhaps, if notes had been taken
with a view of writing up descrip-
1--WE dTUlcle Ol UIle llSIlIuUlOil, SOnc-
thing that would have proven helpful,
interesting and at least accurate
might have been given to the PILOT
readers. AS it is the PILOT would
advise those interested to get into
communication with the sanitorium.
Stevens Point is making great
strides to the front as city of hand
some public buildings, business blocks
and private residences and grounds.
It's many finely macadamized and
paved streets add much to its at
Effectiveness. Very few cities have a
more beautiful surrounding country
and no doubt much of this will be
taken advantage of in the future.

ATHENS ROBBERS.

Frank O'Connor, undersheriff de
parted yesterday for -Neillsville for
the purpose of bringing TO this city
the two men suspected of being the
ones who made an attempt to rob the
Bank of Athens recently. The Clark
county authorities failed TO connect
the men with recent robberies which
have taken place in that county, and
in consequence the men were te.eased
to the Marathon county authorities.
They will be brought to this city al
four O'Clock this afternoon. The
evidence TO prove that they are the
men who blew open the safe in the
bank mentioned is pretty strong. The
fact that their grip contained burg
lars tools is enough to convict them.
The two men under arrest are eyl-

INJUNCTION SERVED.
Hans Weik Wants City Hall Built and
Restrians Council From Drawing :
Money From Fund.

Summons was served yesterday on
the mayor, city treasurer and all
members of the council ordering them
TO appear before Judge Reid next
Saturday to show cause why they
should not be temporarily restrained
as officials of the city from drawing
any more money from the city hall
fund and placing it in other funds,
for temporary relief, as has been the
custom in the past. Hans Weik is
named as the petitioner and Regner
& Ringle are his attorneys.
The petition sets forth that the
sum of $40, 600 was raised for the pur-
pose of building city hall, that all
that remains of the fund at present
is s26, 900; that a site was selected and
conveyed to the city on which to
build the hall; that the city has failed
to build such hall, but has constantly
Incorporated the funds since in
violation of the trust imposed in the
council members. Then follows a
citation of the different amounts Dor
rowed from time to time and placed
in the general fund, showing that
there is but $50, 600 of the amount in
the fund at the present time. The
plaintiff states that the council, at
It's last meeting ordered that $4,000
more be drawn from the fund, to be
placed in the general fund, but that
such sum has not as yet been taken
out. He further alleges, upon inform
alton and belief that the city hall
will not be built, but that the coun-
Gil will in the future continue to use
the city hall fund as reserve fund.
Plaintiff alleges that he cannot see
any reason why the council will not
in the future, as in the past, continue
to use the city hall fund as borrow
ing fund, unless enjoined.
He therefore prayS that the city
officials and council be enjoined from
taking any more money from the city
hall fund except for city hall purposes;
that they be enjoined from voting
for any motion therefor: that the
treasurer be enjoined from using any
part of the city hall fund for any
purpose other than the building of
the hall; that the treasurer be notified
to restore TO the fund the sum of
Sl4 600 which has been transferred to
other funds; that he be enjoined from
obeying the council in taking an adj
ditional 5000 from the fund.
Frank Menier and Louis RedetZke
are named as sureties in the sum
of $780,
The mayor, city treasurer and
council members are cited to appear
before Judge Reid next Saturday to
show cause why such temporary in
junction should not be issued.
This move has been expected since
the last meeting of the council, when
Alderman Robt. Roloff, in discus
sion of the city hall project, notified
the members of the council that such
a move might be made, unless the
council took favorable action upon
the matter of building city hall.
In the ranks of the council there
appears to be diversion of opinion
regarding the advisability OF building
at this time.

James Mcintosh died September Is
at his home in the village of Lodi, at
the age of eighty-four years, after a
short illness. Deceased was well
known TO the early residents of this
city, he being a resident here for many
years, and in the time of his activity
was prominent lumberman. Over
forty years ago he established saw
mill on Big Sandy in the town of Wau-
sau, about seven miles from the city.
He cut off considerable amount of
pine in that territory and many of his
old logging roads are yet to be found.
The mill was long ago razed to the
ground, but the ruins of the old dam
are still to be seen.
Fifteen or more years ago Mr. Nc
Intosh moved to Lodi to reside and
that village had been his home since

FOUR MEET DEATH.
A Freight Train and Hand Car Come
Together Near Edgar.

The worst accident to occur in the
county in long time happened near
Edgar Sunday evening, resulting IN
the death of four persons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Kaul and three
children, of Fenwood, had been attend
ing the Catholic church in Ponia-
towski. Mr.. Kaul was section fore
man and had the use OF a hand car.
The party rode on the hand car as TAI
as Rib Falls and walked the balance
of the way. Returning In the even
ing, Victor and Francis Literskl,
brother and sister of Mrs. kaul, whose
home was west of PoniatOwski, and
r. Hotchkiss, and Jos. Krause joined
the party the men helping to, pump
the car. Shortly after the party left
Edgar they were struck by freight
train. The accident occurred at a
curve and in cut, making it impos-
sible for either the party on the hand
car or the trainmen to see one another.
Luckily for the people on the hand
car they were pumping up a grade at
the time and were going slow, so that
four of them were able to jump, or all
would have been killed. When the
train struck the hand car Mr.. Kaul
and two daughters, Mary and Joseph
inc, aged eight and five, and Victor
LiterSki remained on the car and were
killed. Mrs. Kaul had an infant in
her arms and escaped by jumping as
did Miss Literski and Krause and
Hotchkiss, but the two women suf-
fered severe injuries. The baby was
not injured in the least. Those killed
were badly cut up and death in each
instance was probably almost instan-
taneouS.
AS soon after the accident as possible
the train was stopped to ascertain the
result. When the train pulled into
Edgar, a locomotive and caboose was
sent back TO convey the bodies to the
village, and the coroner and. district
attorney were notified. The two
officials went over yesterday and con-
Quoted an inquest, resulting in a YER
dict in accordance with above facts,
without fixing the blame on anyone.
Kaul was thirty-fiye years of age and
had worked for the company for quite
number of years. The freight train
which killed him is one which passes
over the road regularly and he should
have been familiar with the running
time. Literski, his brother-in-law,
was twenty-one years OF age.
