There is long list of captured rebel
officers.
Gold being scarce article at that
time, the paper says, in speaking OF
souvenirs picked up from the battle
field: ''The most stupendous story of
all is finding a twenty dollar gold
piece. If the confederacy is not
ruined, one man in it certainly is by
the loss of this much auriferous
metal"
1t is reported that the rebel ram
Albemarle has been raised and re-
paired by northern forces. The Albe-
marie was blown up by Lieut.. Cush-
ing on the night of Oct. q, 1854, lone
of the greatest acts of heroism ever
performed in warfare. The Albe-
marie is described as being 'leyia-

the maker.
That there were trusts, even in
those days, is evidenced by an editor
ial, citing that the ice dealers had
put their heads together and decided
upon doubling prices. The paper
cites that nature furnishes the ice
dealers stock in trade gratis, and
that congress, viewing ice as a neces-
sity rather than luxury, relieved 1t
from the burdens of the internal rev.
enue law. The Herald invited COM
petition from Maine and Massachu-
setts, showing that it was not like
present day dailies- owned body, boots
and all by corporations and combina-
tions-and could speak its mind with
out fear of injuring the feelings Of
any masters.

miles north of Wausau, belonging to
Mrs. J. O'Connor and E. Fitzpatrick,
which at the time was supposed to be
the work of Indians. A few morn
ings since, however, Mrs. O'Connor
was aroused from her slumbers by the
believing of young heifer which had
been tied up 10 the fence near by the
night before. Rushing out to rescue
the animal, supposing it had become
entangied in the rope With which it
was tied, and not thinking of any
danger, jumped over the fence, alight-
ing in arms length of a big black
bear. The animal turned tail and
ran without ceremony, leaving Mrs.
O'Connor half frightened to death.
The heifer was terribly lacerated.
II is now believed by all up that way,
that the ''poor Indian was slandered
when accused and that bruin was the
guilty party.
The assessment of the county in
1869, was as follows:

BODY FOUND.

| The body of Miss Elizabeth Neuge.
bauer was found in the river in Mil
waukee early last Thursday night
The PILOT previously mentioned hel
disappearance. Miss Neugebauer was
born in this city Jan. 10, 1885, she be-
ing a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
ward Neugebauer. Her father form
eriy conducted meat market in the
building now occupied by Haesle &
Willems. After his death about eigh.
teen year sago Mrs. Neugebauer dis
posed of her property and moved to
Milwaukee, where she has since lived
On the night of Jan. 10 the young
lady, in leaving home, told her
mother that She was going over to
visit a neighbor, school ma'am OF
the name Elsie Madlener. Her
mother accompanied her as far as the
gate, saw her enter the neighbours
yard, and then turned around and en-
tered the house without giving the
matter any further attention. Later
in the evening, when Elizabeth did
not return to her home, her brother
went over to the neighbours house to
ascertain what kept her and accom-
pany her home. He was surprised to
learn that she had not been in the
home, and at once summoned the
police. A systematic search was made
| for her, and several weeks ago the
family abandoned all hope of ever see
ling her again.
The young lady was clerking in
Gimbel Bros jewelry department
and when the holiday rush came on
she had to give up her position on ac-
count of nervous breakdown.
Though nothing was noticeable in
her demeanor it is supposed that the
nervousness led to arrangement Of
the mind, which caused her to COM
nit suicide.

SATURDAY. SEPT. 4th. 1869.

The editor of the Pilot with a
friend, on Sunday, the 2Sth day of
August, 1869, went on trip to Jenny
leaving the Forest House at O'Clock,
a. m. At Trappe River Mills they
were met and joined by f. A. De
Coursey. They arrived at Jenny at
8 o'clock. They took breakfast at z.
Spaces hotel. After breakfast they
strolled around town and dropped in
TO Keyes & Kline's store, which we
found we'll stocked. At 10 O'Clock a
wedding vas celebrated II miles above
which we att nded, by invitation; a
bridal tour was taken in birch bark
canoe, on the Wisconsin river. After
the excursion was over mo one being
drowned) all went to Jenny where a
public reception was given at the hall
OF Keyes & Kline. After partaking
OF a hearty dinner with Mr.. Kline,
the editor came to the conclusion
that Jenny was live town, made up
or enterprising whole-souled business
men and women, and that it is bound
ere long, to be place of Importance.
The editor in closing up his article
said:
I'VE would like to have remained
until Monday evening AID attended
the dance which was g come off at
Spaces hall in the evening, but busi-
ness would not Iermit, and we left
after breakfast, highly pleased with
our trip, an1 all the people with whom
we met. On our return we spent a
short time &C Trappe mills, which we
found in full operation under the
superintendence of +. A. DeCoursey,
and turning out as good quality of
lumber as ever floated down the Wis
consin river. Reader, if you wish to

INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION
Such Is to Be the Name Of a
New Organization in Wausau.

About US people attended the meet
Ing called last "Wednesday evening by
the Wausau Business Mems club.
Supper was served by the ladies of
st Mary's church congregation, and
after the good things had been put
in storage, rising vote of apprecia-
tion was extended to the ladies'
President Rosenberg opened the
meeting by stating that it had been
decided to organize body which will
have for its object the advancement
OF Wausau, and will have as p name
the Wausau Industrial association.
1t is to be capitalized at 100000, its
1900 shares to sell at s25, 20 per cent
to be payable yearly. The only sal
aried officer will be the man selected
to have active charge of the associa-
ton. =
Geo. w. Bruce of Milwaukee, was
then introduced and he made very
interesting address.
Wausau, he said, is favorably
located in the heart of a productive
country. After briefly showing up
our advantages Mr. Bruce told of
what can be accomplished by an
organization such as was under COR
sideration. He told in part the ex-
perience of the Merchants and Manu.
facturers' association of Milwaukee,
of which he is secretary. Such an
organization, he said, should not have
for its aim, solely the advancement
of city's industrial interests, but it
should work for the promotion of
everything which will tend to better
the conditions of the people.
He said that the Milwaukee associa-
tion had established trade-schools,
which have proved very successful.
These have furnished a supply of
skilled labor which has been sought
by manufacturers or employers of
labor.
He advocated the organization of
auxiliary bodies which will have for
their object the education of the people
along certain lines: the securing of
better freight r.6es and shipping fac
ilities; the encouragement of interest
incivic affairs; the election of men
of high character to public office; in
short, to try and attain any and every
thing which will be of benefit to the
community.
He asked for the hearty support of
the newly organized association and
gave assurance that it would be of
great benefit to the city.
Following Mr.. Bruce's address it
was moved and carried that the plan
of organization be adopted. The COM
mittee which formulated the plan was
increased to nine members, and this
committee will seek subscriptions.
Then the stockholders will meet and
effect permanent organization.
A Constitution and rules were adopted,
which, put in concise form, cover
the following: The association can
buy and sell stock in manufacturing
enterprises locating here; it can loan
money to manufacturers; it can pur-
chase, sell or lease building sites; it
will encourage the location of any
manufacturing concerns, but no
bonuses will be given; it will promote
industrial, social and educational
affairs. Each member will have but
one vote, no matter how much stock
he owns. The following are the tenn
porary officers: President, M. B.
Rosenberg; vice-president, c. E.
Turner; secretary, B. f. Wilson;
treasurer, c. A. Barwig; directors,
G. HI. Wagner, G. D. Jones, w. E.

March Fifth to Fill Those
Positions.

An examination will be held on
March 5, 1910, for positions on the
additional temporary Office force Of

and western states from the first ex-
animation on October %, 1909, to fill
al the positions to which such states
are entitled. 1t is estimated that the

the first examination. The towns in
Iowa at which these examinations
may be taken ara Ames, Burlington
Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Dubuque
Fort Dodge, iowa City, Mason City
and Sioux City. The entrants salary
will be 5000, but it is expected that
a considerable portion of those EN-
ployed will receive 1929 to 5000 pei
annum. The age limits are fror
eighteen to fifty-fve years. For fur

Considerable Damage Done During
the Past Few Days by Ice in
its Southwark
Journey.
IRIS NOW BELIEVED SAFE
Boat Was in Danger Of Being Covered
With Ice, But Has Been
Moved From Perilcus
Position.

Following the break the previous
afternoon, the ice in the river contin-
ued its migration southwark all that
night and yeste and when the
daily weather report was received in
the Wing Office last evening there APP
peared to be small indications the
flow would be checked for hours to
come, says today's Quincy Wing.
There was very decided change in
the temperature Tuesday night and
the belief of many rivermen was that
it would have the effect of solidifying
the foes in the river and preventing
their massing, but this proved erron-
eous, as all Yesterday the bergs con-
tinued to become detached and float
past the city. From early morning
the entire surface of the Mississippi
was covered with the foes and again
hundreds of people who had never be-
fore witnessed the spectacle, gathered
along the shores. Though the wealth
er was not so favorable as the day
before for the purpose, there were
numerous kodaks focused on the riv
er and many excellent pictures were
secured.
