M'AULEY LEADS.

McAuley, formerly playing third
base on the Wausau team and the
past two years with Appleton, led
the WI. league the past season in
batting, his percentage being .344.
But five men batted 300 or over,
while twelve reached or passed the
coveted point in this NV. league of
ours. Callahan of Eau Claire, who
led this league in the stick depart
ment batted q points better than
McAuley. Brady, Buemiller and
Gardner, also Of the old Wausau team,
batted well up to the 800 mark.
Lundine of Appleton, who caught a
number of games for Wausau, fell be-
low our own catcher, c. Johnson, by
IL points. Figures, post season games
and results generally show that the
NV. is a faster league than the
WI, and has less expensive teams.
The latter is filling up with old "haS
beens' out of the big leagues.

There is spirit of Towdyism, which
is generally overlooked, that is hard
to hold down AID this year promises
fates in store for old gates, board
walks and outhalldings as has been in
general for uhe last half century,
Wausau Record Herald.
The above was evidently written by
one who is unfamiliar with conditions
in Wausau, especially conditions of
the past two years.
There was time when just such
things were carried out, when children
began soaping windows month in
advance of Halloween, but that time
has fortunately passed. At times the
spirit of rowdyism was so manifeStly
devilish that disgrace was brought
upon the city and its officers. Under
cover of the rampant spirit of the
night parties went out and, following
a prearranged plan, deliberately stole
valuable articles which their owners
in many cases never recovered. One
mans barn was broken into and his
buggy was carried away, which he did
not recover for year later.
These acts of vandalism got to be
so strong that good citizens arose in
protest. Mayor Lamont in the first
year of his administration was APP
pealed to and he said, ''There will be
none of that kind of work while am
mayor" The word went out to stop.it
and it stopped. The police had orders
to arrest any and everybody caught
carrying away property and they did.
Even last fall young man, whose
poor Judgment got the better of him,
was hauled into court at the instance
of one of our citizens, who had
suffered because.of Halloween dep
relation. Five boys were brought
over from Unity last fall for carrying
away mans property on the same
night, and were prosecuted.
Halloween or any other cen does
not give anyone license to destroy
or carry away anotherS belongings or
to modest others in any way. The
great fault lies with the parents of
children.
The result of the efforts of the
mayor, police and citizens of Wausau
in the past two years has been that
the town has been orderly on Hal
lowe'en, scarcely any property has
been toted away, and very little
window soaping has been carried on.
A newspaper has a higher mission
to perform than to mention or suggest
any form of vandalism (which is gen.
eralls overlooked"
Any man, woman or child, guilty
of any miraculous spirit next Hal
lowe'en, who are caught or reported
to the police, will be arrested and
prosecuted, and they should be.

COUNTY MEETING.

The school boards of the various
towns met in this city in the court
house last Saturday, together with a
number of instructors. There were
in all several hundred persons present.
G. 2. Cary, state superintendent, was
scheduled to be present, but owing to
pressing business he could not come.
w. E. Larson, a state school inspector,
came and filled out Mr.. Cary's place
on the program.
After the meeting had been opened
by the county superintendent, Mr..
Pivernetz, Mr.. Larson made an address,
in which he alluded to school condi-
| lions in this county.
How Greater Mental and Physical
Activities can be Secured in Country
School Work. was the subject which
Miss Rosalia Bohrer spoke upon. In
her remarks she eyinced desire to
make some reforms in present school
methods and the way boys and girls
are brought up. Summed up in plain
English Miss Bohrer is for more
hustle along certain lines which will
be of more practical value to the
young than is being taught to them
now.
j. F. Kadonsky, principal of the
agricultural school, spoke upon mat
tiers pertaining to the agricultural
school, and the value of training in
agriculture. He is against hiring
cheap teachers.
Q. E. Wells in speaking on Things
Overlooked" said in substance that
school boards should supply to the
teacher many of the little things
which will tend to take away the
drudgery of school life. He, too, was
against hiring cheap teachers.
"Home Problems was Miss Emma
Conley's subject. As well as having a
book knowledge girl should be a
good housekeeper, for homes are
judged by the way they are kept.
Many improvements can be made
which will benefit the home and the
girl should learn them.
Mr.. KadonsKy invited the town
boards to attend three days course
in agriculture, which will be given in
February by the agricultural school.
A Mr.. Peterson, a state factory in
specUor, spoke of the necessity and
value of an education as means of
lettering ones chances in life. He
urged school attendance, and said
that he had been informed that up
ward of 700 children in this county
are not attending school.
The county superintendent placed
part of the blame for non-attendance
on the location of schools. In many
instances schools are so far distant
from homes that children cannot
reasonably be expected to attend.

FOREST PARK ADDITION.

Since the last issue of the Pilot,
Brown, Gilbert & Winton's Spring
addition to the city of Wausau,
which takes in a part of what was
known as the east side Parcher farm,
has been changed to Forest Park
Addition. This is, it seems to us,
much more appropriate then Spring
Addition, because of the fact that the
same is heavily timbered. AS we
stated last week, this addition has
been entirely sold out and the lot
owners are composed of our best citi-
zens. Brown, Gilbert & Winton have
now opened up another addition on
the west of Forest Park addition,
and which contains 80 acres. This is
all beautifully timbered and easy of
excess, most of it overlooking the city,
and is cut up into one acre lots.
There is going to be erected on this
addition wind mill and stand pipe
with which to furnish lot owners with
the finest kind of spring water Many
lots have been spoken for in this adj
dition the past week. Nearly six
acres of ground, which takes in the
house and large stable, formerly
owned by r. E. Parcher, was disposed
of today to a number of our citizens.
This is beautifully located, overlook
ing the Wisconsin river and has quite
large pond fed by several ever flow
ing springs on this property. The
property will be cut up into lots and
placed upon the market, and owing
to their nearness to the city and fact
that they are not very highly elevated
they will make as pretty and as con-
venient building sites as there are in
our city. For few years past, on ac-
count of the street railway being ex-
tended to the south and lake Wausau
being arranged for, there has been
great sale in south Wausau. Now
that the great railway will be extend
ed to the north, probably as far as
Brokaw, the choicest spots in that
section will be taken up very rapidly.

POLITICAL ADDRESSES.

The voters of Wausau will have the
privilege of listening to two political
| speeches this week, the first since the
primary election. Tomorrow evening
Congressman Morris Sheppard of the
First district of Texas will address the
people from democratic standpoint,
or, we should say, the platform in
Castle hall. Everybody, irrespective
of which way they look at the politi-
cal situation, is invited to attend.
Mr.. Sheppard is a young man, in
fact when he succeeded his father in
congress, at the latter's death eight
years ago, he enjoyed the distinction
of being the youngest man in the
national law-making body.
Mr.. Sheppard spoke in Wausau on
the night of Oct. 7, 1904. At that
time he was accompanied to the city
by Geo. w. Peck, who was then y
candidate for governor Mr.. Sheppard
left an impression in Wausau as be-
Ing very forceful orator and a man
of large brain. Since then he has i'm
proved by experience, and there is
little question but what his speech
tomorrow night will be both interest
ing and instructive politically.
The republicans have engaged
Henry f. Cochems of Milwaukee for
an address Friday evening. Cochems
is candidate for VIM. Stafford's seat
in congress. The socialist candidate,
it appears, will draw so heavily from
the republican ranks that the demo-
cratic candidate will be elected.

Next Saturday Wausau will play
the Amigo firsts at Amigo. Coach
Schneider and Capt. Brown, who saw
the game last Saturday between
Amigo and Merrill, in which Merrill
was defeated, 100, say that Wausau
has the hardest proposition of the
year to go up against Saturday. They
both said they thought Wausau could
win, but that our team will have 70
put in hard weeks work of practice.
The lyceum programs were given
Friday. Two very pleasing musical
numbers were given by the orchestra
and the glee club, both of which, un-
der Miss Lintz's direction, are fine,
The officers for the term were
elected with much hil2rity. They are
Walter G. Boswell.
Sec.-Miss Belle Hudson.
Prin. c.. G. Parlin gave the high
school a lecture Thursday on ''The
health problem to one that leads q

The new school building is nearing
completion, but viii probably not be
occupied until after Christmas. Tbs
plastering is nearly completed; thu
gymnasium floor and running tracE

TINE LIMITED.

Candidates for office have just
twenty more days in which TO work
before election. If we had all the
money that will be spent in the CO. ltry
by office seekers in that time we
wouldn't take off our hat to John ID.
under any consideration. 1t costs
money to run for office, play poker or
own fast horse that is just a little
slower than the other fellows Just
at present things are warming up in
this county and there is hard fight
on with conditions and outlooks favor
ing the democrats. From reports at
hand 1t appears that there will be
seven new faces in the court house
after Jan. /, next, with solid demo-
cratic delegation TO Madison. An old
timer who has studied the political
situation informs us that in towns
which have heretofore rolled up re-
publican pluralities, the voters are
keeping q stiff upper lip this fall.
This means that they are dissatisfied
with conditions and win bide their
time until Nov s, when they will pro-
test their dissatisfaction by voting the
democratic ticket. At all of the
democratic meetings held in the rural
districts thus far, large crowds OF
farmers have turned out and greater
interest has been manifested than fol
years.
Both parties are active and not 8
day or night passes now but what
meetings are held in one or more o.
the towns or villages.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Lydia Johnson, '0S, who lives
in Price county, has been visiting in
Wausau during the past week.
Mr. Weir of the School of Agricul-
ture at Madison, was guest at the
Training school during the past week.
About twenty of the alumni
of the Training school were present
at the convention on Saturday.
Rev. Mr.. Fisher gave most delight
full lecture last week upon his ocean
voyage and his sojourn in the land of
Egypt. The students were fortunate
in hearing about that vague and dis
tant country from the lips of one who
had been right on the spot and who
could portray so wildly the wonders
and beauties of ancient and modern
Egypt.
At the meeting of district school
boards held last Saturday at the court
house, Mr.. Wells spoke briefly of
things overlooked by school officers,
mentioning first suitable boarding
place for the teacher where she may
have separate room with proper con-
venience, the lack of which sometimes
causes the teacher to abandon the
school. He next called attention to
the conduct of members of the board
in beating down the wages of the
teachers, bidding down the wages
through fear of not getting school,
He spoke of the injustice TO the pu-
pills in having cheap teacher. He
analysed the case of a district which
refused to pay the teacher more than
thirty dollars per month because she
could board with relative. He said
that the district as whole gained
nothing because it paid wages and
board but one man was held up for
the whole of the board, one hundred
dollars or more, while he paid his
lakes the same as they did. The
, teacher was entitled to wages and
enough to pay her board. If rela-
tive chose to give her board, that was
no affair Of the district. They should
not rob a man because of his kindness
of heart, nor cheat the teacher out Of
what was generously given her to help
her get a better start in the world.
He concluded with the statement
that the free public schools were
Americas greatest contribution TO
the worlds welfare, and that the dis
tricts should not strive to deprive
their children of its benefits.
Miss Bohrer discussed the subject,
GLOW Can Greater Mental and Physi-
cal Activity be Aroused in the Chill
dren of the Country Schools of Par
ents as well as Teachers ?" One Of
the main points discussed was that
parents and teachers must begin the
training earlier and in wider field
than is now being done. More home
interests must be awakened, both in
doors and out, and athletic sports in
dulged in. Teachers cannot do all the
work of arousing children from the
lethargy which is the outcome of
years of routine work, monotony and
| lifelessneSs.
The question, "Resolyed that the
deaf person suffers more disadyant-
ages than the blind person." was de-
bated in Miss Hamacker's psychology
class one day last week. The aflirma-
tive was supported by Miss Behnke
and Mr.. Kastel, the negative by Miss
RADIANT and Mr. Bradfsh. The latter
| received the favorable decision Of the
judges.

VISIT OLD TINE FRIENDS.

Samuel Knox of Duluth, Mimi, one
of the early settlers of Merrill, but
who removed from here before the vii
lage had grown to be city, returned
for days visit Tuesday. When
asked what his mission here was, he
replied that it was merely to see the
place again and TO shake hands with
old time friends, of whom he has many.
He is well remembered by many of
the old residents of the city and they
were all pleased to see him again. His
daughters, Mrs. A. L. Kreutzer of
Wausad and Mrs. VIM. Winton of
Duluth, accompanied him here.-Mer-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Saturday was the second teams
turn and it trimmed the Amigo
seconds, 22-0. The game was good
one-on our part-the whole team
played at its best, and the plays were
run by quarterback Turner, as well
as ever plays have run on the high
school campus.
Our team could not do much against
the Amigo line, but made long gains
around the ends and was very success
full with forward passes.
On one of the first plays pass was
made to Ruder on right end, who
with a clear field ran 80 yards to a
touchdown, planting the ball squarely
between the goal posts.
The kick was made with little diff
Guilty, making in all 6 points.
In the next quarter Wausau pushed
the ball once within yards of the
coal, but was forced back by punt,
and again the team worked up to the
line.
The ball was given to Jones on the
10 yard line for an end run. This he
did, lodging through the Amigo line
and was tackled within few. feet OF
the line, but in falling he lost the
ball, which bounded out over the line.
Sampson from behind the line, scooped
down upon it, sliding under the
Amigo man who was right on top OF
it. Thus the second touch down was
made. Jones failed to kick goal this
time.
The next touch down was made in
the first part of the second half, on a
pass to Capt. Larson on left end, who
ran 10 yards to the goal.
In the last quarter another touch
down was made, Jones carrying the
ball over on one of the end runs, in
which he starred during the game.
This time the goal was kicked. Weik's
| intercepted pass, on which he gained
| 20 yards, and Turner's % yard quarter
back run nearly gave us another
touch down in the last few minutss
AS has been said before the team did
| fine work, every man playing his posi-
tion.
Without doubt this is the best sec
| ond team the high school has been
represented by, in good many years
This is due partly to the way it has
stuck together during the weeks OF
practice. Ruder and Larson on the
ends were good on getting the for
ward passes A good share of the
long gains we're made by these two
men. Art. Jones, playing right half
was exceptionally good at end runs
picking out the gaps and making Ions
/, gains.
Eggebrecht, at left tackle, too, wa:
very good. He was continually break
ing through the Amigo line anc
mailing the plays before they were
started. This had a lot to do with
the short Amigo gains. Martin al
the other tackle, as we'll as Livings
ton and Loeb at guards, held the line
firm at all times. ratzand Sampson
| the other back field men, were not
used very much, owing to the strength
of the Amigo line, but they were al
ways there, making short gains anc
doing large part toward the team
work. Weiks and Turner, as safetie'
and as center and quarter, worked
combination which was the life of The
team on the offensive and defensive
| The line I'M WAS.
