BANKERS MEET.

The meeting of Group Six of the
Wisconsin Bankers association, held
in Marshfield last Friday. was at
tended by representatives of all the
banks in Wausau, who made the trip
in automobiles. Chas. Kinzel and E..
A. Krembs of Stevens Point in the
formers car came this way and joined
the party. The Wausau party went
over in the H. G. Flieth and Carl
Kruger autos. In the former were
H. G. Flieth, E. C. Zimmerman and
M. B. Rosenberg. In the latter,
Mr.. Kruger, +. p. Stone, S. M
Quaw and W. e. Hudtloff.
They went by way of Mosinee,
Halder and Rockville. At Mosinee
they were joined by Chas. Guenther
and daughter who accompanied them
in the Guenther car. On their re-
turn the Flieth and Guenther cars
came back by same route and Mr..
Flieth's party stopped off in Knowl-
ton to take supperw with Mr.. Guenther.
Mr.. Krueger's party came back by
way of Stratford and Marathon City,
taking supper at the latter place.
These gentlemen report that the
meeting was very well attended and
was highly successful from every
point of view.
The address of welcome was made
by Mayor w. ID. Connor and was re-
sponded to by II. G. Flieth, whose re-
marks were timely and to the point.
M. B. Rosenberg made an address
on "Checks: Presentment, Certifica-
tion and Right to Stop Payment on"
Mr. Rosenberg brought forth some
very practical ideas and his address
was very valuable one from every
point of view.
K. G. Zimmerman of Wausau, was
elected a member of the executive
council.
The place of next meeting has not
been decided on, but it will probably
be Antigo.
A. j. Frame, president of the First
National bank of Waukesha, came
over to Wausau in the II. G. Flieth
auto and returned home by train in
the evening.

HE IS BACK AGAIN.

A fter an absence of nearly nine
months he Has returned. This time
he brought chum with him. Every
year he leaves us about the first of
September and does not return again
until the middle of the following
May. This year he was q few days
late. He made his first appearance
last Friday-he and his new found
friend. We are referring to the PILOT S
night hawk. We call him our night
hawk because he has been perched in
large elm tree back of our Office for
several years. He comes to our back
door in spring and stays with us
throughout the summer. When the
first frost comes he hies for southern
fields and remains away until he has
assurance that the weather in this
locality is warm. Nearly all day
long he can be found squatted on a
large limb of this elm, always picking
out the same limb each year. Some
days in the heat of the summer, when
the sun gets too strong on that side
Of the tree, he temporarily switches
over to another limb. At half after
four each afternoon he starts out on
a grub-seeking tour, and does not re-
turn until about eight O'Clock next
morning. In this respect he is like a
human night hawk, from which he
derived his name.
He is homely bird and his song is
not very inspiring, but he is engaged
in noble purpose cleaning up the
bug world. We claim him as our
friend and would be lonesome in sum-
mer without him. The friend he
brought with him this trip looks just
as he does. In fact we could not tell
the difference except by the limbs of
the tree they occupy.
This lowly bird is protected by law
and anyone killing or molesting them
is subject to fine of from S. to $50
or imprisonment in the county Jail
for thirty days.

SATURDAY. FEB. 10. 1870.

On Tuesday, Feb. u, 1870, at $50
O'Clock a. M, a fire was discovered il
the NJ. e. church. The inhabitants
of the whole town were called out by
the changing of the fire bell. The
tire seemed to be all on the outside
and none on the inside. The fire en-
CINE was promptly on the ground but,
for some cause, it refused to work
the result was that the struc-
ture was entirely consumed, together
with all its contents-stoves, furni-
upre, ETC., nothing but the organ and
a few books being saved; even the
bible was devoured by the frey ele-
ment. The building which had re-
Gently been finished and furnished
in a fine and tasty manner, at
a cost Of 81, 2,500-was uninsured,
and the loss is a severe one to
the society. 1t will be remembered
that year ago the parsonage was
burnt and now the church is in ashes;
tyet the society remains undiscouraged
at these severe losses and measures
are already being made to rebuild.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
yet there is little doubt that it was
done by the Indians being permitted
TO make the basement, where the
wood was kept, a rendezvous for the
night. REV j. T. Gaskell was pastor
at this time.)
On Thursday night, Feb. II, 1870, a
building belonging to A. G. Norway,
in the town of Jenny was burned
down. 1t was 20x34, and was located
between Spaces and Norway's hotels.
The lower story was occupied by
Alden Crown and the second floor was
a dancing hall. 1t was not insured
and Mr.. Norway's loss was $500. A..
Poor, A. Besau, J. S. Norway and
others had grain and other things in
store valued at $4,000 and Mr.. Nor
way had feed and grain stored, worth
$4,000. So the loss was 81 900.
H. H. Lawrence, Esq, one of the
pioneer settlers of Wausau, is in town.
He is like the others who have lived
here-there is an attraction which
compels one, as it were, to come back
and take a look at the pines. lie is
now resident of Ripon.
H. d. Baldwin, marble dealer of
Ripon, is in the city.
We learn by reliable gentleman,
who was at New London last week,
that the M. & st. P. R. r. Co. pro-
poses to extend its road from Winnie

and thence on the most feasible
route to make a connection with the

WON MEDAL.

The following dispatch from Apple
ton to the Oshkosh Northwestern
will be of interest to many young
people of Wausau:
APPLETON, Wis, May 27,-The de-
partment of Latin at Lawrence col
lege has just awarded gold medal to
Miss Elsie May Smithies of Wausau
for the highest efficiency in the Latin
language during her college course.
The Latin department each year
gives a gold medal to the student OF
the graduating class who has attained
the highest efficiency in that subject
during the college course as reward
for exceptional excellence in scholar

honor to win the prize.
1t is customary in the English uni
versities to award gold medals for
scholarships, but Lawrence is one OF

States that have instituted the Gus

A TALE OF A TAIL.

Commencing with one night the
early part Of last week people began
to get a glimpse of Halley's comet
Those who had doubted that such a
celestial body existed threw their
doubts to the winds when they saw
the sky tramp with it's long tail
looming up in the western sky. And
1t was apparently the same tail which
the astronomers reported as having
seen detached and in another portion
of the heavens. While we have got
down TO this tale we might here state
that the tail of Halley's is not 50
bright as that of comet A of 1910, seen
here in January, but is much longer.
If neither is any longer than our eye
sight carries us we would say that
that of the latter is about three feet
and that of Halley's about sixteen
feet. That, however, is only a guess
on our part, for the knowing astron-
omer tells us that the tail of Halley's
comet is from 35,000,000 to $4,000, 900
miles in length and composed of gas.
Hully gee! what snap the Wausau
Gas Co., would have could it tank all
that gas!
About two weeks ago astronomers
reported that the comet had lost its
tail in passing the earth. If that be
so it is growing new tail which be-
came brighter for few nights after
it was first observed in the west. The
tail is not as pronounced as has been
seen on other comets. 1t looks like a
faint glow, but when it was brightest
it had wide vigorous sweep, reach
ing upward and southwark from the
nucleus. The tail was supposed to
brighten each night for several nights
and the comet was to be seen for sew
eral weeks and then gradually disap-
pear. That, however was guess.
It's speed at present is estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 miles per
day This speed will carry it from us
on its westward course to oblivion
from whence it came less than a year
ago and it will not be seen again for
seventy-tive years. Halley's comet is
a part of that great mystery which
even the wisest astronomers and phil
osophers know little about.
1t is not necessary to go IN ON East
hill to see this celestial wonder.
Pick out some spot where you can
get view of the upper western sky.
The comet is located little south of
west and is quite high in the heavens.
You get the best view of it between
nine and ten O'clock.

LIBRARIAN RESIGNS.

Miss Mary Watkins has resigned as
librarian of the Wausau public library.
At meeting Of the library board held
Thursday it was decided to offer the
position to Miss Grace Stevens of
Oshkosh.
Miss Watkins came here last sum-
mer, but was absent part of the time
while taking training course. She
intends to leave the city about August
l and go to her home in Edmund,
Ia, where she will spend about a
month visiting and will then go to
Madison, where she will take up the
same line of work in the legislative
library.
Miss Stevens, who will probably be
her successor, has been highly recon-
mended by the principal OF the state
library school in Madison.

NO HOPE
OR RELIEF

How often we hear that cry from
some poor pain-racked person. Scien-
tiic research has placed wonderfully
improved apparatus and methods of
treatment at the command of the
physician who keeps abreast with the
times, so that relief and cure are
today comparatively simple matter
in the average case.
Here is the point. You know that,
in order to succeed you must be better
than some others in brain, blood and
ability; you proclaim yourself dis
eliminating buyer and establish your
business on the highest level possible,
and yet give no thought TO the strain
upon your physical being until you
awaken to the fact that "you are not
up to the mark Then, nine times
out of ten, you rush off madly to the
first thing offered as means of relief
and when it fails, either through lack
of merit or because you have net the
confidence to stick to it, you cry mo
hope of relief"
We ask you, is it not worth while
to give the matter little thought;
learn where one may get honest opin-
ions and TREATMENT THAT WILL
DO THE WORK; to know where one
may obtain the best medical atten-
tion; in SHORTS it not worth while
to find out about the wonderful good
that is being done in this community
by one of the country's best physi-
clans, DIR. L. NJ. Turbin? The evil
dence is yours for the asking.

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

anticipate speedy entrance of the
iron horse in Wausau. We may ex-
pect soon to see the surveying party
in town.
At meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the village of Wausau, held
Feb. u, it was voted to employ q
night watch for the protection of
property from fire, and prevent rowdy-
ism, and the sum of s400 was appro-
priated for that purpose. The selec-
tion of watchman will be made to-
night.
On Saturday afternoon the new fire
bell was elevated by the boys to its
proper position in the engine house,
and its musical tones rang out all
the afternoon. 1t weighs $50 pounds
and can be heard all over town. Wau-
sau can now boast of five bells, three
upon churches, one upon the school
| house and the one above mentioned
On Wednesday evening social was
given by Mrs. T. Single which was as
pleasant a one as we have attended
this winter and reminded us of the
good old times we enjoyed when
Wisconsin was mere infant and we
were some thirty years younger. The
house was crammed full. Mrs. Single
has the faculty of entertaining so
pleasantly that it makes one feel
young and happy.
SATURDAY, FEB. 26, 1870.
The M. e. services are being held
in the school house and will be until
| further notice.
The weather has been quite warm
the past few days and the snow is
rapidly disappearing. There is plenty
left-some three feet.
Conrad Binzer was engaged by the
village board at its last meeting, for
night watchman at salary of S350.00.
He win make good and faithful
officer.
We dropped into the blacksmith
shop of All Hinton the other day
and found him very busy. AS horse
shoer AL. has no equals in this part
of the state.
Julius Fritz is putting in some very
fine pine logs in Little Sandy for Mott
& Miller. Many of the logs scale over
40 inches. One tree in particular
was taken four logs sixteen feet in
length, the first scaling SO inches; the
second 4S; the third As and the fourth
All. This is within ten miles of
Wausau.
E.. Stevens of the town of Stettin,
informs the PILOT that he made 800
pounds of maple sugar last year, be-
sides a considerable amount of syrup.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.

The PILOT is in receipt of letter
from Arthur Millard, who now re-
rides at Lyford, Texas. The letter is
a personal one to the editor, but we
take the liberty of publishing the fol-
lowing extract, because all of Arthur's
old friends will be glad to hear from
him, even in this way:

realize what the regular appearance
of the Pilot means to one who is so
far away from his old home and kim
dred To me the arrival of the PILOT

ences of Long Ago. How many old
recollectionS they bring back to me.

village setting on the banks of the
"Old WiSconSe;n the river full of logs
and lumber; the swarms of river boys

lnarks that are now only a remem-
brance: together with the faces of
NAM who have passed from the stage
of life leaving their life work to be
taken up by the playfellows of our
youth. How rapidly time flies. Ere
long you and l, and our old school
mates, will step aside for the new
generation of boys, but | doubt much
whether they viii be able, when they
reach our age, 10 look back on any
