Increased Milk Prices
Blamed on Droughts
FREDERICKA DORR.

Saying the drouths for the past sew
eral summers have curtailed tie supply
of grass and green stuffs. the dairymen
of Washington declare the advance In
the price of milk during the past two
years is almost wholly due to the neces-
sity of feeding cows indoors at times.
The excuse given Tor the increase OF
/ cent per quart, which went into effect
yesterday, is that from now on it will
be necessary to feed cows indoors al
most entirely.
Should there be no droughts in the
summer in 1872 there is a possibility
that the price Of milk again will drop
to cents per quart. The price this
winter will be steady, average milk re-
failing for 9 cents per quart, and extra
quality at le cents

BASE BALL DOPE.

Manager Carl Bond has notified the
owners of the Wausau base ball club
that he has signed up some new ma
terial. Among the new men is a
pitcher of whom great things are ex-
pected. This fellow is the inventor
OF something which has got all curves
crowded off the map. When in the
box he masticates a chaw of tutti
fruit to the consistency of warm
sealing wax, and plasters it on the
ball at the moment of delivery. This
makes the ball lop-sided, and it travels
in a zigzag course to the plate, like d
kite in gale of wind. If the batter
swats the gum the pail sticks to the
bat, and all the catcher has to do is
to pluck it off the bat and return it
to the pitcher, or touch the batter
out, as the case may require. Cold
molasSes can be used for gum drops
in pinch.
Mr.. Bond has also signed a second
baseman, who is said to be a mighty
swatter. In Bird Centre, where he
lives, it is an open secret that he dare
not take a trip to the Orient, because
of drive he once made, while play
ing with an amateur team, the Grave
Diggers. He knocked the ball in
front of the plate and it travelled
through the earth and killed the
mayor of Hong Kong, China.
Chas. Ferguson, former manager of
our team, has been re-engaged as an
umpire in the American association.
He is wintering in Mexico, where he
owns ranch, and is spending most
of his time in hunting. He killed
tiger in the mountains of that country
a few weeks ago, larger he says, than
any he ever saw on ball field.

AN OLD DOCUMENT.

We had the pleasure yesterday of
looking over an old paper, which,
viewed, in the light of present day
customs is quite. a curiosity. 1t was
formerly owned by the late N. B. Orr,
but at his death passed into the
hands of V. A. Anderson. 1t was
written in England, and is OF the
date March %, 1901. We failed to
get history of the document, but
presume that it has passed from one
generation of the Orr family to an
other, until it came into possession of
the late n. B. Orr. One of the parties
to the instrument is David Orr,
whom it can be presumed was an
ancestor of the man who lived in our
midst so long, and who is so well re-
membered by our citizens. 'This
indenture," as the paper reads, bound
David Orr as an apprentice to one,
James Finlay, for term of four
years, at the wrights' art, whatever
that may have been. The latter was
evidently of very magnaminous
spirit, for according to the terms of
the document the boy was to receive
nothing for his first years work but
his "keep;" the second year he was to
get two pecks or meal per week, while
during the third and fourth years, in
addition to the two pecks of meal, he
was to be paid two pence per week.
A code of morals was also laid down
for him to follow, and if he violated
some of the provisions of the agree
ment he was to pay his master" a
certain stipend. The terms Of the
apprenticeship made the boy as near
slave as one can figure itout without
applying that harsh term.
Three long pages, each one signed
by the principles and witnesses, are
taken up in binding tnis boy to a
trade. The l10 years that the paper
has been in existence have left their
traces on it, though it is pretty well
preserved nevertheless. 1t was writ
ten with quill plucKed from some
old gander's wing, for at that time
the steel pen trust lad not taken a
part in discovering America.

CHANGED PLANS.

AT an adjourned meeting of the
city council held Wednesday evening
President Neal Brown and Manager
NJ. G. Ewing presented new plans
which the street railway company has
under consideration. The plan of
laying double track on Third street
has been abandoned. The plans
offered by the company's officials
Wednesday night are as follows: To
build track along Fourth street
south from the post Office to Forest
street, connecting with the Third
street line at Scott and Washington
street, thus giving the company two
loops. Also to move the Third street
turnout to Fourth street, on the
east side Of the court house square.
The company also proposes to build a
double track on Forest and Grand
Ave. from the Fourth street intersec-
tiCn of Forest down to the city limits.
BY this arrangement the cost to
the company will be about the same
as if Third street were to be double
tracked. The company will save the
extra cost of re-paving on the latter
street, but will lay more steel. The
change will also throw more expense
on the city and property owners, for
they will have that portion of the
Third street paving which the COM
pany had agreed to pay had a double
track been laid. 1t means an increase
of about 81, 200 to the property owners
and about $1,000 more for the city.
The new plan, though, meets the
favor of those who have contended
that Third street is too narrow for
double track.
1t was decided by the council to
take no action until the next regular
meeting. Stating that the company
is desirous of knowing where it is at
as soon as possible, Manager Ewing
asked for an expression of sentiment,
and the councilmen responded as be-
ing in sympathy with the new plans

DEATH OF A. KREMBS, SR.

Last week the PILOT made a state
ment that Alexander Krembs, Sr., of
Stevens Point had been stricken with
paralysis and was in very critical
condition. The next day on Jan.
25th he passed away. Last Septem-
Der Mr.. Krembs visited his relatives
in Wausau, Mr.. and Mrs. John c..
Gebhard and family and the Misses
Hoef1inger, and to take in the county
fair which was then in progress. He
was taken i'll while here and was COM
PEELED to return home sooner than he
had expected. Since that time he
has been to the Sacred Heart sanitar-
ium in Milwaukee and everything
possible done to bring back his health.
While he did not improve he grew no
worse until on the 22nd of January
when he was striken with paralysis,
which deprived him of speech and
the use of his right side. Mr.. Krembs
has many friends in Wausau having
OlOCII SOi1IO AIClO " hloAO lis lCloOANOS
and this has been going on for the
last fifty years. He was very prom
inent business man in Stevens Point
and had the honor and esteem of all
who knew him. He would have been
II years of age on the 18th of March.
In 1856 he came to Stevens Point
where he has practically remained
ever since. During the year the late
Chas. Hoeflinger, brother-in-law, was
elected a member of the assembly
from this county he was also county
treasurer and he induced Mr.. Krembs
to come to Wausau and act as his
deputy which he did and Mr.. Krembs
remained here during the year 1862.
Mr.. Krembs was one of a family Of
fifteen brothers and sisters only two
of whom are now living, viz:
Max Krembs of Stevens Point and
Mrs. John C. Gebhard of this city.
The funeral was held from st.
Stephens church at Stevens Point on
Saturday, JAN 28th.
Mr.. and Mrs John G. Gebhart, and
daughter, Miss Helen, and the Misses
Julia, Anna and Antoinette Hoeflinger
all of this city, attended the funeral

A SLOGAN.

Wausau proposes to adopt a ''slo-
gan" and hang it out on the court
house, in electric letters, TO be illum-
mated on special occasions. How
would "Wausau Wins" or wonder
ful Wausau Works Wonders" or
"Win Wealth in Wausau," suit our
neighbors.-E Claire Leader.
There are so many things which
rebound to the credit of Wausau that
it would be hard to answer the above
question, and agree with The Leader.
The matter has been left in the hands
of a committee, which no doubt will
select something symbolical of this
city's progress and prosperity. There
is one thing that can be depended on,
and that is this: When it comes to
selecting a slogan, Wausau people will
take care of that matter in a credita-
BILE way, as they do with everything.

PERFECT SECURITY.

There are hundreds of robberies
every day of the year about which we
hear nothing, but through which,
people who are careless about money,
lose it.
That person who keeps his or her
money in the National German Amer
lean bank, has but little fear from
the hold-up man or house-breaker.
1t is the man who carries money on
his person, who usually gets
touched.
Your money, if deposited with this
bank, will be absolutely secure.
