SAW AN AEROPLANE.

CONSERVATION and excitement
nearly as much as was manifested the
time Billy Bryan passed through Pine
River-was shown Thursday evening
when an aeroplane was seen floating
DER and cutting circles in that part
of the ozone which covers the west
side. To people on the east side of
the creek it appeared that the con-
traption was spreading its wings over
that portion of the town of Stettin
that lies out doors near Rib river,
but to west siders the machine ap-
peared above their heads, and one old
whiskers lowed that it was up about
a mile, ''By gosh all hemlock." The
queer part was this: People who
stood doing the Wales, Goodyear act
differed in their opinions as to the
number Of passengers it carried, or
whether it carried any at all Some
said they could see one man in it,
some said two, and many couldn't
see any. One fellow with a rough
edged breath like a horseshoer's rasp
said, *Thersh four mensh in it, but
he had just emerged from a snake
foundry.
After a while the aeroplane was
seen descending, and to the surprise
of some, the machine was coming
down in the heart Tor liver of the
west side. Everybody and his sister
rushed to the point of landing to get
a glimpse of a real, live bird machine
and its chauffeur. But
When the people reached point
near Fourth and Stewart Aves. they
beheld little Arthur Crowell pulling
down a large box kite and winding
the twine on bobbin. 1t was a
mean trick little Arthur had uncon-
sciously played on gullable people,
and so ends our tailless tale.

CLUB SUPPER.

The Agenda club met last Wednes-
day evening in its headquarters in
the old Y. NJ. G. A. building, and
spent the evening in way which is
characteristic of the clubs functions.
Among the members there is some
vocal talent, and this was called into
requisition on the above evening.
instrumental music also enlivened
matters. After several new members
had been admitted to membership, a
supper was served in honor of g. M.
Mcconnell and Lawrence Johnson.
The club is composed of former stu
dents of the high school and has
eleven members:
Herbert Schneider, Watson Ander-
son, Irwin Peters, William Gilham,
Carl Paff, Eddie Boles, Oscar Egge-
brecht, Louis Raduechel. Fred Lev
enhagen, Harry Kiefer and Ray Cass.
Its officers are: Watson Anderson,
president; Harry Kiefer, vice-presi-
dent; Herbert Schneider, secretary;
Fred Levenhagen, treasurer.
The club has nicely fitted up rooms
in the building mentioned, where its
members spend many pleasant hours.

PUNK WALKS.

People who had occasion TO go to
the St. Paul depot the past week, fol-
lowing the slush weather, cursed the
fellow who conceived the idea of
building the limestone walks to and
around that place. He must have
been twin brother of the fellow who
invented boots and eight day matches.
Lawd a massa how people did swear
at him. Limestone and water, when
mixed with numerous feet as stir
ring spoon, produces an excellent
paste. Trimmed to a liquid consist
ency it makes good priming coat
for any painters use. But as road
way in wet weather-nay, nay, Paul
inc, none of it for your uncle Isaac.
The company has spent considerable
time and money in an attempt to
beautify its grounds, which are few
inches higher than the walks and
roadways. A good sod has been
started, but whenever there is wet
weather people choose the lawn in
preference to getting waterlogged
and sinking in the limestone quagmire.
And thus they destroy the lawn.
The crushed limestone makes IN
excellent foundation for other mater
ial, and if the company would put on
top dressing of harder substance,
say, granite chips for instance, good
roadways would be established. But
then railroads have "damn the pub
lie" way of doing business, and care
little for advice or suggestions.

RACES WITH DEATH.

What is believed to be the fastest
trip made between Green Bay and
Chicago over the Chicago 81 North
Western road, was recorded by an
engine, coach and private car of
Supt. Andrews that carried G. G..
Flanner to the Illinois city, says the
Green Bay Gazette. The time con-
sumed was about three hours and
tifty-tive minutes. The engine and
its two coaches bounded over the rails
between there and Milwaukee at
terrific clip. going the distance in
two hours and % minutes by the way
of the Lake shore division. The reg
ular trains go the full distance in
about six hours.
1t was necessary to register at Man
itowoc and Sheboygan and at Milwau-
kee new engine was put on at that
division point.

THINKS 1T WAS MURDER.

DIR. w. G. Dickens, ex-coroner, has
received request from two editors
of Dixon, H., for sample OF the
cloth of which the trousers were
made, worn by the young man found
mangled near Mosinee last summer,
after the Ringing Bros circus trains
had passed through. Mrs. L. Haber-
nick of that city, had a son who ran
away with the circus and who has
since been missing, and she believes
that the corpse found was that of her
son. She has coat which matched
the trousers worn by her son when he
left home, and she desires the piece
of the cloth for comparison.
The doctor has also received a news
paper article relative to the disap-
pearance of young Habernick, which
also contains letter from Samuel L.
Sustus OF St. Joseph, Mo-, TO the
mother. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Justus came here and identified
the corpse as that of his son Sheridan
NJ, removed the corpse to Missouri,
and then, to his CONSERVATION, dis
covered that his son was alive and
well. Mr.. Justus gives the mother a
description of the corpse found, and
expresses his belief that the boy was
foully murdered by being pushed off a
car, after first being robbed. The
Ringing circus paid off its employees
in this city and they all had money
when they left here.
There is a possibility that the
identity of the corpse may yet be es-
tablished 1t lies in vault in the

ELLENBECKER SPEAKS ONLY
FOR HIMSELF.

Editor Pilot.
A man by the name of Ellenbecker,
who, it seems has been elected to the
city council, one or two times, and
thereby thinks he has acquired knowl-
edge vastly superior to his fellow
townsmen, (but usually such assumed
knowledge is only a case of something
else) has placed himself on record as
against the commission plan of mu-
nicipal government. Now, Ellenbeck-
er is not acquainted with the commits
sion plan, and is surely not aware of
the fact that because of it's worth it
has been adopted in every city of any
importance in Texas. In Iowa, many
cities are working under the commits
sion plan. In Wisconsin, Eau Claire
has adopted the commission plan and
Mr.. Ellenbecker nor any other man
could not get the Eau Claire people
to go back to the old system. Per-
haps this well posted writer can tell
us how the people of Eau Claire like
the new system. True, the change
brought over about $26, 900 of floating
Indebtedness, and during the first
year, all of this was paid up and the
taxes for 1911 were swelled a little,
but just watch Eau Claire in the
future. Appleton voted, a few months
ago, for the commission plan, and
Wausau will at no distant day. Mr.
Ellenbecker's attempt to try to make
the people believe that the commits
sion plan of municipal government
meant that the city would go dry,
is all bosh and shows that writer to
be a small calibred individual. When
ever the question of making this city
no license one, every voter will
have chance to cast his ballot for or
against the proposition. The new plan
has nothing to do with that or like
questions. 1t has nothing to do with
engendering feelings Of animosity in
city such as alluded to by Mr..
Ellenbecker. But the fact is the
commission plan for government if
adopted by the city Of Wausau, will
place it in the column of progressive
cities of our country, this man
E1lenbecker to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Yours for COMMISSION.

VERY DAMP.
Efforts to Saharaize Wausau Fail at
Tuesdays Election.

The election of last Tuesday passed
off without much How'd We do?''
and, strange to say, resulted in the
election of A. j. Wire. and Wenzel
Pivernetz to the offices trey sought.
One had as his opponent John Doe,
the other was opposed by Richard
Roe. The opposition manifested by
the latter two gentlemen proved to
be mostly balloon essence, and after
the contest both Mr. Vinje and Piver-
metz could exclaim with Commodore
Perry, 1--WE have met the enemy and
he is ours"
Had it not been for the vote on
wet or dry" it is not likely that
more than 200 votes would have been
cast in the city, for there was moth
ing else to vote for except a successor
to Mr.. Ninje. The bringing out of
the liquor question, however, put a
ditferent phasespect on the as of the
situation and resulted in bringing
out very large vote for an "off"
year. The total vote was 1926 or
larger than was ever cast at a spring
election. The largest vote heretofore
cast in this city was at the presi-
Dental election of 1908, 3,464. In
deed the vote was so much larger
than was expected that in some of
the wards there were not enough
judicial ballots, and in consequence
A. j. Vinje's vote was cut down.
1t was the first time in the history
of Wausau that the liquor question
was voted on, and each of the two
elements tried their level best to
make good showing, and each has
since, through their leaders, expressed
themselves as satisfied.
The vote on the license proposition
by wards was as follows:
