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

on April u, 1870, at the residence of
the brides parents, Mr.. James Quinn
to Miss Nancy McCleary.
SATURDAY, APRIL 3oth, 1870.
Over 1000 shade trees have been
set out this spring.
The ordinance restraining horses,
hogs and cattle from running at large
will go into effect next Monday.
On Thursday afternoon last, while
Joseph McEwen was plotting piece
of lumber over the falls, and after
having passed over, his oar-blade
breaking, the raft was run upon the
rocks near Clarke's mill portion of
it sinking and Mr.. McEwen in at
tempting to save his oar, had his legs
caught under the "spring pole,' and
holding him fast, with his nose
scarcely above water and no help
near. While in this crippled condi
tion, a log struck him in the breast,
which the spectators on shore sup
posed at the time must have killed
him. On the contrary, it was the
means of loosening and giving him
the use of one of his legs, thus enabl-
| ing him to keep his head above water
until rescued by the log drivers, whose
prompt action soon brought them to
the scene of action. 1t was a peri
iouS situation and narrow escape,
and Mr.. McEwen said that if the log
had not struck him he must have
drowned before help could hg"e ar
rived.
The NJ. E. church, which was de-
stroyed by fire four months ago is to

The past week has been a lively
one in Wausau. On Monday the first
piece of lumber was run over Big
Bull this spring and since four crews
have been constantly running the
rapids. Hundreds of our citizens
have been out daily watching the ex-
citing sport. On Tuesday afternoon
a wager of $4,000 was made that a
piece could be run over by three men,
with Ed. Nicolls as pilot and Sam
Armstrong as steersman in a condi-
tion to take to Little Bull without
repairing. This created much inter-
est. When the raft was ''tied loose,"
all eyes were bent upon it and as it
foated down towards the dam, spec
ulation was rife and many side bet
was made as to the result. On it
came; passed over the dam handsome
ly and as it neared the rocks breath
less silence prevailed until it entered
the falls, which was in fine shape,
when a cheer arose for the success of
the undertaking. But alas! for all
human calculations; just as they were
in the falls, log which had crept
under the raft, caught on a rock and
broke off the hind crib, to the great
disappointment of nearly the entire
crowd. Thus ended day of much
excitement.

A. Greene, Sec'y.
Reports have been received that
eight men were drowned while at.
tempting to run the 'Dells' at Kill
bturn City. We have learned nc
particulars.
We have received copy of the
semi-annual circular of the Typo
graphical Union of date, March %,
1870, in which an old friend and broth.
er typo, Thomas Wolfe, has been
chosen president thereof.
The new buildings which are going
up this spring are many. Among
them are one by Otto Siegrist at the
corner of Third and Jackson streets,
another by Aug. Kickbusch & Bros,
on Main street and Valentine Ringle
is putting up one for the PILOT at
the corner of Third and Washington
streets, the upper floor to be used for
the office. The frame work is now
going up rapidly under the superin-
tendance of Hett & Flickinger.
Hon. c. Hoeflinger, in entering up
on the discharge of the duties of
president of the village, made very
extensive report of the condition of
our village generally. He showed the
Liabilities to be s2,772.OO, and resources
over $4,000, that there was insufficient
school accommodations, that there
were 4l8 children, and only seating
room for 316 pupils; that the fire de-
partment was as well organized as any
in the state, having 60 members; that
the cistern on Jackson ST., is not
sufficient to supply water for that
part OF the city; that at the foot of
Jackson street, the storage of logs,
oar stems, lumber, ETC., should be
prohibited; that the streets north of
Jefferson street should be graded
and named. The village charter
makes it your duty to prevent the
encumbering of streets, sidewalks
and alleys with carriages, carts, wag-
ons, sleighs, lumber, firewood or
other material. 1t is disgusting to
see our streets thus blockaded. The
time has passed when Wausau should
be considered backwoods village.
By keeping the streets clean and
planting shade trees Wausau can be
made one of the loveliest cities in the
state. The address was very able
one and Mr.. Hoeflinoer did not mince
matters as to what was necessary to
be done.
SATURDAY, APRIL 23d, 1870.
Our streets and sidewalks are being
cleared up, which adds much to the
appearance of our town.
The road between here and Jenny
is becoming very good and Alphonse
Poor's express makes excellent time.
The river has been so high that no
lumber has been run up to this date.
A man by the name of Lenard Lord
was drowned on Sunday while drop

Mrs. Henry Mundt, residing on
Warren Street was committed to the
Northern State Hospital for Insane
on Wednesday. On the night of
April 81 her husband, while walking
from one room in the house to an

When the stomach fails to perform
its functions, the bowels become de-

to build a fire to warm his person?
Nevertheless the-order of the fire
warden is a good one and If it had
been put in force weeks ago, in every
town in the county, thousands of dol
lars worth of property would not now
be consumed by forest fires.
On Wednesday the government
thermometer on the county square
registered e8 degrees ''high," or few
above the comfortable point. The
Milwaukee newspapers stated that
that day was the hottest in that city
for thirty-nine years. The local
weather bureaus records do not 60
back that far, but we presume the
same can be said Of the day so far as
Wausau is concerned. Some Of our
manufacturing institutions closed
down that day because of the intensity
of the heat. For men working in
lumber yards the day was torturous.

German Army Orders New Adjunct
For Military Aviation.
Transportable airship sheds of new
type which can be set up in less than
tWentyfour hours have been ordered
by the German army authorities.
These sheds are $50 feet long. IS feet
wide and so feet high and are made of
Mannesmann steel tubing and water
proof canvas coverings.
The tubes are fixed at equal distances
in iron sockets, and the whole erection
is fastened securely to the ground by
means of so called spiral screw an
chors.
1t is claimed for these sheds that
their erection causes the least possible
damage to cultivated land, and anoth-
Ell advantage is that they possess spe.
cial facilities for being secured to the
earth so as to provide absolute safety
in the most violent hurricane.
There are, moreover, special contriv.
ances by way of huge movable wind
screens to protect the airships from
sudden gusts when entering or leaving
their shelters.

FIRE RANGER DOES GOOD WORK.

Harry H. Peterson, fire ranger
sent out by the state, has been doing
good work fighting prairie fires
in different parts of the county, and
warning people to guard against set
ting out fires that may endanger
property in dry year like this. A
very disastrous fire has been raging
north Of Moose River extending part
ly into Roseau county. In fighting
this fire, the fire ranger, according to
law, is authorized to call to his as
sistance persons in the neighborhood
and they have no right to refuse.
John O. DAHL of Moose River, did re-
fuse and consequently the fire ranger
had him arrested and brought to the
city for trial in Justice Court. When
he got here, however, Mr.. Dahl de
cided to plead guilty to the charge
and pay the fine of $50 and costs.
Christ C. Bengtson of Lindsell town
ship, was brought to town last Fri
day to serve 80 day sentence for
starting a prairie fire.

Legal Advertisements at Legal Rates.

One of the most important county
offices is that of county attorney. The
duties of a county attorney are some
what different than those of any 9th
er county official, in that in the per-
Torrance of his duties he must COM
bine with the exercise of discretion
and good Judgment required Of all
county officials, strong legal ability,
and a fearlessness in the prosecution
OF the violators of the law that favors
none but does justice to all. In A. N.
Eckstrom the Leader feels that all
these features are combined to the
highest degree. We have practiced
law side by side with him and know
ney, and man in whom a confidence
reposed will never be betrayed. In
supporting Mr.. Eckstrom for this Of
flee every taxpayer will find that he
will at all times give them value re-
ceived and as they study his charac-
ter and high qualities, will fully real

tvs interests in giving him their sup
port and their vote at the primary

A VILLAGE PHILOSOPHER.

a stand in one Of the main streets of
Virginia town for the purpose Of
selling leather and buying raw hides.
When he had completed the building,
he considered for a long while what
sort of sign to put up to attract at
tention to the new establishment.
Finally a happy thought struck him.
He bored an auger hole through the
door post and stuck Calls tail into
it with the tufted end outside. After
while he saw a solemn-faced man
standing near the door looking at the
sign, his eyes in round, meditative
stare behind his spectacles. The
tanner watched him minute, then,
stepped out and addressed him.
"Good morning, sir" he said.
"Morning!" said the other without
taking his eyes off the sign.

tanner.
