AN OLD LANDMARK.

The old building on Clarke's island,
known as the wigwam, is being torn
down to make room for more mod
ern structure. John Anderas will, as
soon as weather conditions permit,
erect large building, which will be
used for the storage and display of
farm machinery. The building will
be located further north than the old
one, and it is proposed, we are told,
TO plat the land south into lots and
sell them. A cement sidewalk will
be constructed from the slough bridge
around to the high bridge, on that
side of the street. Then let some
landscape gardener get busy along the
slough's bank, and the appearance of
the island will be greatly improved.
The old wigwam was built about
thirty years ago by VIM. Davenport
and other parties, for machine shop
purposes, and was operated for some
years as the Star Iron Works. In
1896 it was fitted up as wigwam for
holding public speeches. In it per-
haps thousands of people have listened
to Ignatias Donnelly Of Cryptogram
fame; Senator John @. Spooner; Con-
gresham Esch; Gov. Scotield and
many other noted men.
Of late it has been used for ware
house purposes only.
The lumber in it is Of the very best.

DOING GOOD WORK.
Wisconsin's Resources Given Send
off in Illinois.

The Earlville Ill.,) Leader has the
following to say:
'Last night in Robinson Hall, Hon.
John f. Lamont, mayor of Wausau,
Wis, on behalf of the Wisconsin
Advancement association, addressed
a good audience of the people of
Earlville and vicinity. His theme
was wisconsin and he handled it
we'll He began by saying that the
meeting was primarily for advertising
purposes and to show that close at
hand were thousands of acres of the
most fertile land which can be
purchased for Sl5 to $50 an acre. He
could not see why people would go a
thousand miles from home to secure
land, when better soil, with all the
advantages of an old settled section
was to be had practically at our doors
He said that some of the land about
which he would talk was scarcely 300
miles from Earlville and it was
possible to leave here in the afternoon,
get to the land the next morning,
look it over and get back the second
morning, ready for work at home.
This cannot be done if you go to the
far southwest or to Canada.
he Sdlu IL WdS peItCCOly ldCuIdl W
ask why, with all this fertile land so
close, has it not been improved long
ago. The answer is this: These lands
have been owned by the big lumber
companies for many years and they
did not put them on the market until
the merchantable timber was removed.
There are hardwood and pine lands"
The paper goes on TO say that Mr..
Lamont told of the soil of Northern
Wisconsin; its climate; its people; its
schools and it's churches; its pure
water, crops, ETC., and further said:
"The meeting was enlivened and
made more interesting by fine series
of magic lantern slides, showing farms.
highways, orchards, live stock, wheat,
oats and corn fields, churches, school
houses, public buildings, and other
attractions, not forgetting some of
the many beautiful lakes with which
the state abOunds."
This is the kind of work that is
now being done by the association In
various states in the Union.

a third baseman. The purchase was
made from Macomb, Ill. That city
was recently ousted from the Illinois
Missouri league and all its reserve

team. Last year he played in I0i
games and batted .306 and fielded
1874. He also pitched In sixteen
games and won half of them. We
are in receipt of the official playing
schedule, which shows that some

Wing; Duluth gets ten, all the rest
nine. The longest series on the home
grounds this year will be nine games.

REGULAR MEETING.
The Ladies' Literary Club Held a Very
Profitable Session Yesterday
Afternoon.

The general club meeting of the
Ladies' Literary club was held in the
club house Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock. The business session con-
sisted of the primary election of Off
GERS to assist the nominating COM
mittee in making up the ticket for
next years officers.
A letter was read from the COM
mittee of the State Federation urging
the club ladies to encourage and assist
ladies Of rural districts in organizing
reading and literary clubs in the
country. The club was then highly
entertained by vocal quartette,
''The Rosery," sang by Mesdames
Kreutzer, Jones, Barden and Miss
Pardee, accompanied by Miss Imo-
gene Harger. Following this was a
most excellent paper by Miss Judith
Wadleigh, directress of art in the
public schools. Her subject being
1.-THE Process of Reproduction of
Pictures" this she illustrated by show
ing some very fine pictures from Mr..
Anderson'S collection of Chicago, to
show the difference in the arts of re-
production. Also a helpful paper
upon '"The Development of the Lover
of Art in Children"

Passion Play of 1910, met after the
club session and completed arrange
ments for the lecture, such as the dis
tribution of tickets, advertising, ar
rangements for selling tickets and
ushers, etc. This lecture is to be
given at the high school, as the stage
is larger and better equipped for
showing the valuable pictures to the
best advantage, and it is hoped that a
larger audience will greet Mr.. Parlin
and derive the benefit of this religious
and beautiful play.
The next meeting of the club will
be on April Sd and it will be the an
nual social affair of the club, being
Founders day. All founders, near

MEETINGS AT THE PRESBY
g TERRAIN CHURCH.

The meetings at the Presbyterian
church are progressing very fayora
| bly,. Mr.. G. G. Chapel with his well
rounded voice, is making a very
| favorable impression. Mr.. Mcintosh
does not make any claims for scholar
ship, but breaches biblical truths as
he understands them.
| One of the great features of this
week will be Mothers day. This
will be on Friday. Everyone will be
expected to wear carnation in mem
DRY of mother. They will be on sale
in a number of places in the city.
There will also be bible readings
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday at three O'Clock, and evangel-
iStic services each of those evenings
at 1870. Next Sunday there will be
another meeting for men at Castle
HAIL
On Monday evening Mr.. Mcintosh
preached on repentance. He spoke OF
the bible as being the handbook of
repentance. Continuing, he said:
"Oyer sixty times in the new tesla
ment is repentance enforced. You
leannot have vital communion and
Fellowship with God without it,.
When one talks on subject like this
one has not anything very pleasant to
Isay. There is no intelligent CONVEX
sion without an intelligent under
standing of these words. | am afraid
that in our zeal to get people into the
church we have lowered the standard.
BY constant use of the word the edge
has been worn off. In our zeal to get
people into the church we have many
times got heads instead of getting
hearts. When Gypsy Smith was in
this country he said: The depth,
the breadth, the height, the length of
these night utterances do not search
us and illuminate and startle and
thrill and overwhelm as they used
to do
Mr.. Mcintosh then went on to show
the nature of repentance, it's source
ard result. His closing thought
showed by whom repentance was COM
manded and ''tnat repentance and re-
mission of sins should be preached in
Jesus nan6.n
| There have been number of con-
DIVERSIONS, and the interest continues
to grow.

RAILROAD EXTENSIONS.
The Wausau Street Railway Company
to Spread Out.

AT meeting held last FRIDAY of
those interested in the affairs of the
/ HauSau Street Railway Co., several
/ Important steps were authorized to be
taken, which will result in giving an
extended service TO its patrons. The
improvements authorized are line ex-
tensions and additional car service
| These changes have been under con-
slderation for some time, and have
come 1T this time, since it will be
necessary for the company to do con-
siderable building this coming season
anyway.
AS the public knows, the city coun-
Gil has granted permission TO double
track Third street and put in loop
around blocks Ii and IA of the origi-
nal plat of the city. In addition to
this work it was authorized at Fri
days meeting to extend the north
| line from the WauSau Ave. terminus
| on Sixth northward several blocks TO
Winton street, which will be within
easy distance of the hospital, and of
benefit to those who are contemplate
Ing building residences in the new
additions in that section.
Another extension was ordered on
the west side. The Third Ave. line
will be built south from Porter street
to the middle of the second block
south, to point where the North
western Ry. Co.'s track crosses Third
Ave. This will bring it close to the
factory district.
Work on these extensions will COM
mence at the earliest time convenient
though it may be delayed on account
of the Third street work and the
building of the loop. 1t is possible
that the loop will be constructed
first, so as to take some of the traffic
OF Third street, while that street is
being double tracked.
The company also ordered a new
car of double truck interurban type,
about the same Us No. 102, which is
DOW in use. This will cost approx
mately $4,000, and will be shipped
here in the course of two months.
Extension of lines means the purchase
of more cars to this as well as to any
other company. This work means
that great many laboring men will
be employed during the summer.
The company is at present receiy-
eng new material to begin work with
Thousands of ties are being shipped
here and new steel rails will soon be
on the way. Besides these the COM
pany will use much other material
when the repaving and double track
ing of Third street is taken up.

A SUGGESTION

Tie PILOT would like to make this
suggestion to our city solons: Very
soon it will be necessary to place a
new bridge across the main river IN
this city. Many think this should be
done now as the old one is not what
it should be. Why not take the old
'one and bridge tile Wisconsin river
onto Oak island at the foot of Third
Tor Fourth streets. The cost would be
trifiing and it would open up a much
needed thcrougnfare, and 1t would
answer al purposes for many years.
