INSANE OVER POLITICS.

Henry Rehwinkel of the town of
Harrison, was brought to the city
Friday and examined mentally upon
complaint of neighbors. To the eX-
amining physicians he said that he
had dug up a brass cannon on his
farm and sold it to the German gov
ernment. AS punishment for this
he has been chained to his house for
nine years. The impending election,
it appears, has unbalanced his mind,
and he is continually talking politics.
While in the court house he delivered
himself of the following, as near as
we can remember it.
eff you have any stairs to climb,
prepare to climb them now. The
grandeur that has ceased and the
glory that has gone proclaim that
these were troublesome times. Graft
ers cry, Peace, peace but there is no
piece left. They have taken the last
piece and now they are going to take
away our liberties.
"The next windy story that blows
from the North Pole will make us
take to the woods. Is life so dear
and peace so full of sweetmeats as to
be purchased at the price of going
without change of underwear, and
wearing blue overalls Pare we of that
number to submit like slaves to the
motto: Not one cent for the working
man, but millions for the capitalists.
strangers, the land is the work
ingman's. In the quiet woods we
must hide ourselves. BY the placid
waters of the Eau Claire river we
have got to scratch and dig. Under
the stars and stripes the democrats
whack US on the head till we see
stars and the capitalists are trying to
make us wear the stripes. We, the
people of the United States, in order
to form more perfect onion, have
got to bow before the big guns, who
consider themselves kings in every
thing but the name. / care not what
sthers may say, but as for me, give
me a chance to earn living in the
town of Harrison, without any cleo
tion humbugs." !"
He was asked what his political pre-
ferment is and he replied, "Republi-
can" He was at once pronounced
insane and taken to the state hospital
at Winnebago.

RATES TOO HIGH.

Through an effort made by a num-
Der of local manufacturers and auto
mobile owners, the Wadhams Oil
company of Milwaukee has agreed to
establish a branch house here, and
to compete with the Standard Oil
company. Local consumers claim that
they have been charged a high rate
for inferior stock, sold them by the
latter concern. In consequence a
representative was sent to Milwaukee
to confer with the Wadhams people
The result was that three Of the
officials of the company came to Wau-
sau and made an investigation before
deciding to locate a branch here.
They met number of business men
and found that they could make con-
tracts for a sufficient quantity of oils
and lubricants to warrant them en-
tering the field. The only obstacle
was city ordinance, passed five years
ago, which excluded oil tanks or oil
warehouses from being located in the
city limits. An amendment was
drawn up and presented at Thursday
nights meeting of the city council.
1t provided that tanks could be sunk
in the ground within the city limits,
to be outside the fire limits and 100
feet away from any building. 1t was
passed.
Local consumers say they have
made a rate with the Wadhams COM
pany which is considerably lower than
that charged by John DIS concern'
and better grade of oils is guaran-
teed. The Standard, after it heard
of the action of local people, resorted
to its old trick of offering its products
below the figures asked by the Wad-
hams people, in order to stifie the
latter. But the bait didn't catch the
rabbit.
As soon as a location is secured,
which will probably be in the north
ern section of the city, the Wadhams
people viii begin its work of getting
settled here.

THE FIRST DUEL.

Editor Pilot
attended a republican rally up in
the Eighth ward Friday night, Albert
Smith of Merrill, being one of the
speakers. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Smith likened the present
political fight to the first" duel in
Rome, claiming that Rome originated
the duel. / tried to correct him, but
not having any data at hand and he
being a better talker than l, and
backed up by a lot of bowling repub-
licans, he soon had me faded. After
getting home / looked up my author
ity and found that was right. Here
is the result of my investigation:
The origin of the duel dates back
to the year 1868 B. G. The first duel
on record was fought between David
and Goliath, or, more properly speak
ing, David did all the fighting. David
being the challenged party, chose as
his weapon a slung shot. Goliath
was armed with a sword, which was
about fifteen feet in length. There
were no seconds in those days, be-
cause clocks had not yet been in
vented. Goliath had the longer
weapon, but David had the longer
reach. As David advanced to meet
Goliath, he was full of hope Goliath
was full of hot air and Quaker oats.
When David got within long distance
reach of Goliath, he slang stone
which struck the latter just above
the bridge of the nose. Goliath cried,
"FouT' because he had been struck
below the belt. The only belt he
had on was tablecloth wound around
his head. Goliath took the count.
The next day Goliath went 10 the
cemetery. 1t was large funeral,
but there were no flowers. A fuel is
called an affair of honor-for the one
who survives.
Yours truly,
WILLErT WORK.

COMING BACK SOON.
Karl Mathie Resigns at the Watab
Mills. His Position Taken by
j. A. Porter.

1t has been known for several
months that Karl Mathie, who has
for several years been general manager
of the Watab Pulp and Paper mill, at
st. Cloud, Mimi, was going to return
to Wausau, with his family, to reside,
inasmuch as he is president Of the
Wausau Sulphate Co., and will take
general management of the plant at
Mosinee. Mr.. Mathie resigned his
position with the WataD Co. the past
week and his position was taken by
j. A. Porter, of this city. OF Mr..
Mathie the st. Cloud Times says:
''Mr. Mathie retains his holdings
in the company and remains as treas
urer and member of the board of
directors. His surrender of the posi-
tion of general manager of the Watab
Pulp and Paper company became
necessary because of the time that
he will have to devote for some years
at least to the Wausau Sulphate
Fibre company of Mosinee, Wis,
which he recently organized at that
place and of which he is president
and general manager.
''This company is capitalized at
100000 and the construction work
has been in progress for some time.
Mr.. Mathie will leave for Mosinee
Saturday. He will be accompanied
by E. S. Holmes electrical engineer,
and will on this trip let the contracts
for the electrical machinery at Mosi-
nee. Mr.. Holmes will have charge
of the electrical work at Mosinee.
He has always directed the electrical
work at the big plant at Sartell.
"Mr. Mathie will leave st. Cloud
about the first of the year. st. Cloud
will very much regret to see him go.
During the years he has lived here
he has taken prominent part in
public affairs. The late Governor
Johnson recognizing his excellent
qualifications for the position APP
pointed him member of the board
of directors of the State Normal
School. 1t is no disparagement to
his predecessors on the board to say
that Mr.. Mathie has done a great
work for the st. Cloud Normal and
he will be greatly missed on the
board. Mr.. and Mrs. Mathie will
but their many friends here will be
glad to know that Mr.. Mathie retains
large financial interests here"

MILDRED HOLLAND.

Our theatre-goers, no doubt, will
be pleased with the announcement
that Miss Holland will come to this
city shortly, appearing in her latest
play written especially for her by
Matthew Barry. 1t will be Miss Hol-
lands first appearance in this city as
an American woman of the present
day and her entire company will APP
pear in modern familiar roles. "The
Provider" is simple in its treatment
of the theme of the two men who love
the one woman. One the powerful
banker, and the other the note-teller
are the rivals. The production will
be as complete in every detail as have
been all of Miss Hollands previous
presentations in this city.

MARATHON COUNTY BOYS
TO STUDY DAIRYING
Many See Big Future for well Trained
Butter and Cheese Makers. Good
Positions for Capable Men Who
Have Studied at Dairy School.

The fiourishing condition of the
dairy industry, particularly cheese
making, has led many young men who
are interested in attending the u
weeks winter dairy course in the
dairy department at the state college
of agriculture at Madison.
Those who have registered to attend
this year are: f. c. Bucholz, Marathon
City, G. Voigt, Spencer, r. ?; j. a.
Golbach, Marathon; J. Streyeler, Mosi-
nee, r. /; E. Beck, Wausau; II. A.
Kiefer, Wausau.
Those who attended last year from
thii vicinity are G. E. Meier, Colby.
The college has had many more ap-
plications for trained men than it
has been able to supply, and cheese
makers are particularly scarce.
The winter dairy course gives
thorough and practical training in
creamery buttermaking, factory
cheesemaking, pasteurizing, testing
milk and its products, dairy machin-
cry, etc. The new dairy laboratory
costing S30,0 is just being completed
and will offer better laboratory facili-
ties. Many new dairy machines are
being installed for use with the dairy
course.
The advance enrolment has been
quite heavy but other applications
will be considered if received by Prof
E. II. harrington, Madison, before
the course opens November p The
cost of the y weeks instruction ranges
from $S5 to S95.

ABOUT PARTRIDGES.

Last week the PILOT told of a
partridge that had been caught re-
Gently, by Wausau fisherman, with
a hook and line; the Merrill Herald
not to be outdone published the
PILoT's item and followed with this
''Some time ago Mrs. Robert Klein
schmidt caught live partridge in her
pantry. The bird flew into the house
through the window, which it broke.
After fiuttering about in several
rooms. it flew into Mrs. Kleinschmidt's
pantry, and the good lady caught it,
wrung its neck, and the rest need not
be told"
Partridges will do queer things
sometimes. The morning on which it
was legal to shoot partridges, one of
our most enthusiastic sportsmen was
awakened by q noise at the window
and upon investigation he found a
partridge sitting ION the sill. As the
sleeping room is in the second story
it was considered quite coincidence.

KING WINS HIS PEOPLE.

The popularity OF the king and
queen of England steadily increases,
and the party leaders are warned that
general election in which the ques-
ton Of disloyaity OF either side to the
reigning family is raised will be dis
aStrous
Their drive through east and south
London yesterday after q fortnight
with the fighting services has brought
them into touch with the masses.
Their goal was London Hospital, where
they visited the wards for patients I'M
dergoing radium treatment and IN
spected devices for the protection OF
X-ray operators and the new Finsen
light apparatus presented by the queen
mother to the hospital.
The visit, while an assurance that
that class OF institutions for which
King Edward helped to raise millions
would not be neglected during the
present reign, was less important than
the practical evidence that the king and
queen were at home among their
hunblest subjects.
\ long circuit was chosen for the
route to Whtcchapcl and the return by
London Bridge and Borough High
street, and the simple and unaffected
function was witnessed by an immense
concoursc OF the poorest and lowliest.
The route was not lined with troops,
and the escort of soldiers and equerries
accompanying the royal carriages was
not large. The addresses OF welcome
from the boroughs were dispensed with,
and the formaliticS were restricted to
the quaint ceremony at Holborn Bars,
where the lord mayors sword was dis
played and salutes were fired. South
wark and other borough officials were
in their robes.
As two of the kings children were in
the possession it was like 4 family
party. Everything was simple and un-
and the crowds swarming
all along the route, rs though the me-
tropolis had been cmptying out for
bank holiday, were orderly and respect
ful, showing that they fully appreciated
the attentions paid them by a consid-
crate monarch and his amiable queen.
There could have been no more strik-
ing evidence that monarchy in England
has become democratic institution.

WOMEN GAMBLERS RACE.

A dispatch from Ostend, Belgium,
says: Amid the most exciting scenes
the police have raided the gambling
tables fin the kursaal and the ESser
establishments, which make Ostcnd,
next TO Monte Carlo, the favoritc re-
sort in Europe OF those who WOO tickle
Fortune.
The women at the kursaal tables
were wrought up to the pitch OF fury
because their play was interrupted SO
rudclv. The men, perhaps more hard
ened gamblers, took the raid philo-
sophically.
Some women, shrieking, struck the
policemen who seized their stakes and
fought like so many viragos to regain
their money. Two or three women
with titles, however dubious, were
forcibly escorted to the gardens and
advised to leave Ostend as quietly and
quickly as possible. Other women
frightened half to death, sat silent and
rigid as if turned to stone. A white
haired woman wept and lamented
loudly that had the police delayed
their visit only one night she wonld
have won a fortune.
In the universal scramble for the
stakes the cool-hcaded rascalS among
the players filled their pockets with
other peoples money.
The police confiscatcd the stakes, the
costlyigaming tables and materials, even
the blotters from the writing desks, for
the blotters bore the names Of the
players who had been writing letters or
signing checks, and were needed as
evidence.
But even more was needed to stop the
gaming than this sudden and severe
action. The next day deal tables and
chairs were taken into the rooms, rou-
lettc wheels were hastily procured and
gambling went on as before, but not
without SO great physical comfort to the
players.
Since the raid very many people
have left Ostend. The season, which
has been afflicted with execrable
weather, is at an end, practically. But
decent peoble say good riddance' OF
those who have gone, and insist that
Ostend's own inherent attractions suf-
flee to make it successful resort

wharf Iaborers' troubles, connected
with the great strike in the coal min
ing industry. Some $50 non-union
laborers who had come to the assist
ance OF the employers were dismissed
for no other reason than that they were
non-unionists, the unionists refusing to
work alongside them. Had the dis
missed workmen been unionists their
employers would have been liable to y
fine of 500 for each man SO dismissed
or total OF S15, 900.
The dismissed laborers appealed and
were met with a strong opposition from
the unionists but Judge Heydon said he
was driven to the conclusion that the
free laborers having had their legal
rights attacked, must be put in posi-
ton to defend themselves. TO be a
non-unionist was not an offcnsc against
the law. Employers could refuse them
employment, but at any rate free lab
orcrs must not be told that the law de-
prived them OF the right to work.
