SOME SNAKES.

During the exceedingly warm spell
OF the early part of April, a nest of
pine snakes awoke from their coma
tose state as the men were digging
about large pine stump at Roths-
childs. About dozen, ranging from
three feet long down, were captured
and placed in a bag and laid where
the sun could strike it. One of the
office men happening along he was
given peep at the snakes and at
once thought what great chance to
get even with certain young man
who had played pranks on him on
several occasions. He was given the
snakes and he carried them down to
the Office and emptied them all under
the chair where the young man was
at work. The latter did not scare
worth cent for he knew a pine snake
from a rattler as far as he could see
them. However he did dispatch sew
eral of the larger ones and now has
their hides in process of tanning, and
when completed they win ornament
fthe walls of his rooms.

BASE BALL CHAT.

Up to the end of last week all of
Wausau's candidates for positions on
our team had arrived in the city, with
the exceptions of Dunbar, Schieffer
and Bourgeois.
The training of our team so far has
been limited. The eight or ten men
who arrived before the rain storm
set in Thursday got a little training
work at the park hardly enough to
show what they are made of. The
snow storm has been a serious set
back. Even though the snow will
have disappeared by tomorrow the
diamond will be too muddy to prac-
tice on for several days. This leaves
Manager Bond in a bad position, for
games are scheduled with the Oshkosh
and Fond du Lac teams at the end of
the week. 1t will not be good palicy
to go to those towns with lot of un-
known material, but he will make the
best of it. The Oshkosh team has
been playing for week or more in
Warsaw, Ind, and the Fond du Lac
boys have had ten days practice and
played one errorless game against the
fast Marquette university team.
AS soon as the diamond dries off
sufficiently, hard work will begin. 1t
is Manager Bonds intention to work
the boys out morning and afternoon,
gradually wedding out the poorer
material until he has his team
in shape to take the road. The
team which will play the Cuban Stars
here on May 7-8 will be practically
the same as will go to Rochester,
Minn., on the 1lth for the opening of
the league season.
The Racine Journal says that the
club of that city is in danger of losing
Bues, its third baseman. 1t says that
the Wausau management is striving
to secure his services and that Man.
ager Armstrong may conclude to sell
him to Wausau. Bues, when he was
with the Lacrosse team in 1908, led
the third basemen of the league in
fielding.

SPRING-A JOKE.

Beginning with last Friday the as.
sortment of weather handed to us
would lead one to believe that the
ancients were right, as to where they
had placed the month of April in the
calendar. Up to the founding Of the
roman empire April was the second
month and its place was entirely sat
isfactory TO the people uy to the time
that event occurred which was OH the
21st. The Romans celebrated the
event with big parade and brass
band music, but after they had lost a
lot OF toes, and stopped the parade
several times while they weut in and
got warm, they yelled tie place on
the calendar to February and showed
April along two notche3. People who
waded snow drifts ur town Saturday
morning were of one opinion-that
the Romans should not have inter-
fered with the calendar, but should
have left the month where it original
" was.
April is taken from the Latin word
Aprilis, or opener, which was the god
of poker. This game was great pas
time with The people of those days
1t SO impressed itself upon the ma
tional life that in time Aprilis be-
came corkscrew, and opened spring
or anything else pertaining to Roman
life. 1t was form of humor in those
days to say that Aprilis had opened
spring and bet robin or somethine
similarly Characteristic, and the
weather bureau of that time wholly
confined its conjectures to what April
is probably held or would draw,
which made this branch of the gov
ernment great favorite with the
people, instead of something that
everybody damns, as it is with us.
The dago orchestras which come to
Wausau at this time each year, and
which are supposed to be forerunners
of warm weather, got their cue from
similar organizations which sprung up
in Rome at the time Aprilis held
power.
When we look back to those warm,
balmy days beginning in March,
when the elusive quick silver in the
thermometer roasted way up at the
go point, when band concert was
given on our county square, and little
brides we,a singing in the tree tops,
we rub our eyes and wonder whether
someone has slipped the cut on us,
put some Welsh rarebit into our feed
or whether we have been hitting the
pipe. While we are penciling these
lines thought has entered our dome,
strange to say: Halley's comet has
headed off the earth and is driving it
back on its orbit. The velocity of
the comit may have formed vacuum
which is pulling us along at greater
spread than we are won't to travel,
which of course would place Gs back
in the same position on the old orbit
were at in mid-winter.
For fear some of our readers may
get superstitious and needlessly fear
some dire calamity is going TO occur
we will say no more on the subject.

DEATH OF MRS. w. C. PRADT

On Wednesday, April Goth, word
vas received here by telegram of the
death on that day of Mary Mckinley
Pradt, wife of Walter G. Pradt, at
their residence near Woodsboro, Texas.
Mrs. Pradt was in her forty-sixth
year and was born in Canada, but re-
moved with her parents to this state
when a child. On May s, 1888, she
was married at Wausau to Walter O..
Pradt, brother of Henry w. Pradt
and Louis A. Pradt of this city. They
lived here until about 1895, during
which time Mr.. Pradt was for several
years a member of the Wausau Law
and Land association, after which they
removed to Colby, Wisconsin, where
Mr.. Pradt conducted general mer-
camille business until the summer of
1908. In that year they made their
home at Bayside Colony, on the gulf
coast, near Woodsboro, Refugio, Texas,
and later, on their farm a few miles
distant For number of years past
Mrs. Pradt was in falling health and
their removal to Texas was made in
the hope that change might work a
cure. This hope seemed at first 10
be realized but within the past few
months her malady rapidly increased
until death came quietly and painless
ly. She was a woman of rare gentle
ness and sweetness-qualities which
won her close friends and made her a
a most devoted wife and mother. She
leaves six children: Mollie, now Mrs.
Joseph Blosser, Kittie, Mabel, Charles,
Charlotte and John.
The news of her death was sorroW-
ful surprise TO her many friends here
and their sympathy for the bere2yed
family is heartfelt and sincere.

NEW COUNCIL.
Mayor Lamont Urges That Improve
ments Be Hade Along Sane Lines.

There was goodly number of peo-
pie present in the council chamber
last Tuesday evening, when the new
members of the council took their
seats.
Mayor John F. Lamont read his
message, which, boiled down, was as
follows:
Reminding the members that they
had been elected on a nonpartisan
ticket, he admonished them to for
get politics when considering matters
of city interest. Also to work for
the best interests of Wausau as a
whole, not to favor any particular
portion of the city.
Attention was called to the fact
that the cost of the Sixth ward school
building will over run the frst esti-
mate headyocated borrowingadditional
money from the state trust fund at
a rate of 81 per cent interest. The
city has been bonded to the extent of
S45, 900 to meet the expense of erect
ing this building.
Before saloon licenses are granted,
he said, applicants should prove their
capability of conducting orderly places,
and he is against the practice of pur-
chasers conducting saloons on the
licenses of former owners.
He called attention to the improve
ments which have been made in the
water system during the past few
years, and stated that one boiler in
the pumping station is practically
worthless, which places the system in
dangerous position.
Good salaries for good work should
be paid. There are men who have
been in the employ of the city for
ten years whose salaries have not been
increased, although their work has
grown and the cost of living has ad-
vanced.
The new council will be called upon
to complete the work of the old, in
providing better fire protection.
A night man in the police station,
he said, would benefit the service.
Every policeman would be required to
report to him by phone at intervals
throughout the night.
Provision should be made for carry
ing out the plans of constructing the
Elm street and Sixth ward sewers.
Since Third street is to be repayed,
all water service pipes must be over
hauled, the gas company should put
It's service in shape and the telephone
and electric companies should put
their wires underground, all this
work to be completed before the paw
ing blocks are laid.
If the business men along the street
will erect standards for ornamental
lights, the city could afford to furnish
the electric current and do away with
the street crossing lights. With such
improvements made, Wausau would
have the finest business street in the
state.
As to street lighting Mr.. Lamont
said he expected to make that the
subject of special message at some
time in the future.
The commission form of govern
ment as adopted by Eau Claire, he
said, should be carefully watched.
There are many worthy features in
it and few to condemn.
The city's financial report April i,
showed the amounts in the various
funds to be as follows:

HOW TO FIND THE COMET.


To find Halley's comet an observ er
should look for the star Venus, the
most brilliant spot on the sky just
before sunrise. Venus rises now
at about $3.50 a. M, fifteen minutes
before the comet, and so it is of no
use to look out for the comet before
Venus comes into sight. The comet
is about 13 degrees north of the
planet.
1t is near three faint stars that
form triangle and with which it
forms an irregular four-sided figure.
1t can be distinguished in the clear
sky by any one that knows just
where to look.
