THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY
A Service Unique, One of Great
Interest Locally and An Event
Worthy of Celebrating.

On Sabbath last occurred an event
of unusual Importance to the west
side of our city as well as to the
Presbyterians of WauSau. 1t was
| the celebration of the thirtieth
| anniversary of the west side Sunday
school of the Presbyterian church.
The program of the day consisted of
an early morning prayer meeting con-
Quoted by the veteran in Sunday
school work, Rev. Joseph Brown, who
has done more valiant work in the
state in this line than any worker
that has ever been on the field.
At 1880 service of song under the
leadership of Mr.. Roy James, ably
assisted by Miss Loretta Charter at
the organ, was followed by an ami
versary sermon preached by the former
pastor of the Presbyterian church, DR..
S. N. Wilson, taking for his theme
Diminished Tasks" drawing beauti-
full and telling lessons from the life
of David.
From 1890 to 2:3O the time was
taken up with luncheon prepared by
the West Side Ladies' Aid society; the
menu and table decorations were all
that could be desired and was worthy
of the many words of commentator
given.
At 2:30 platform meeting, presided
over by the pastor of the church, Rev.
JAS NJ. Duer, at which time number
of the past worker - this field spoke,
concluding with timely suggestions
by the present earnest young Supt.
Darwin Kischel. Letters of interest
were read from former teachers and
scholars, from many parts of the u.
S., which indicated the scope of work
which should be credited to this
agency of christian service.
Greetings from the board of trus-
tees of the First Presbyterian church
was ably presented by its president,
f. L. Hudson, who reviewed the
uIldlCldl won do pay MS
glowing tribute to the work done in
the chapel.
At 7 30 DIR. S. N. Wilson preached
in the main church from the theme
''More Abundant Life" to large
and interested congregation. This
pulpit has been occupied by many
men of eloquence and power, but all
who heard the doctor at this time are
fully convinced that his effort was
never surpassed. 1t was a masterful
effort.
On Monday evening the children's
part of the anniversary services were
held at which time they were given a
picnic supper and stereopticon exhibit
ton.
Taking it all in all the occasion was
one long to be remembered and one
which will rebound in great blessing
to this church which has done so
much in the carrying on of missionary
work in this section of the state.

ANOTHER DEATH.

Another victim of st. James church
accident died Saturday afternoon as a
result of his injuries. This was

and examined by surgeons after being
removed to st. Mary's hospital, it
vas found that his skull was frac-
tured at the base of the brain, his
right leg was broken twice below the
knee, and he was otherwise injured.
He never regained consciousness from
the time of his injuries to his death.
He was brick layer by occupation
and when the dome came down with
a crash he was at the top of it.

BIG GUNS HERE.

A special car with officials of the
st. Paul road arrived in the city this
morning, coming from Pembine over
the 500 road to Heafford Jet, and
then down the valley division. In
the party were A. J Earling, presi-
dent of the road; E. w. McKenna,
vice-president; and VIM. Rockefeller,
L. ]. Petit and G.. Harkin of the
board of directors. This visit here
was a part of one of the established
practices of a trip over the entire
system, following the annual meet
ing. The party remained here but a
few hours, and then went south. Mr..
Earling, so far as importance is con-
cerned, is a bigger man than Presi-
dent Taft. When beefy pomposity
is considered, he is only seven spot
high with the latter.

GIVE HALF THE ROAD.

Some complaint has come regard
ing the giving of half the road in case
of an automobile coming up behind
team. The parties claim that when
they come up behind fellow with a
team he stubbornly refuses to give
any of the road, no matter if there is
plenty of room to turn out. Now
the law recognizes the rights of both
the man with the team and the man
with auto, and these rights should be
respected. There are plenty of men
who are running autos who should
be driving OK teams and vice versa,
but all men should not be treated
that way. The law says that when a
man is overtaken by . faster vehicle,
the man driving the slower vehicle
shall turn out ard give half of the
beaten path.

CATARRH SUFFERERS.
II You Don't Know About HYomei
Try 1t at w. w. Albers' Risk.

Nearly every reader OF The WAUsAU
PILOT has read about HYOMEI, but
many of them continue to suffer from
catarrh Just because they do not
exactly understand just what HY-
OMEI is.
To these sufferers w. W. Albers
says you don't have to know anything
about HYOMEI except that you
breathe it and that it does not contain
cocaine or opium or any harmful drug.
You can find out all about HYOMEI
without taking any chances whatever.
Just get an outfit today, read the
simple instructions, give it a fair
trial and then if you are not willing
to say that it is the best remedy for
catarrh you ever used, w. w. Aloers
will gladly return your money.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
but s1.O0. Extra bottles so cents.

SAW THE DOME FALL.
Some Quick Work Done by Some OF Our
Citizens.

Among those who saw the dome OF
St. James Catholic church fall was
Hugo L. Mumm, Thos. Delaney, Aug.
Kruger and Mrs, John Eunson. MI.
Mumm was standing two blocks
north, looking directly at the dome.
Messrs. Delaney and Kruger were III
the alleyway back of Mr.. Kruger 5
store, and Mrs. Eunson was looking
directly at it from her bedroom WIN
dow, and she Immediately telephoned
to various doctors. Mr.. Delaney
rushed up to several of the doctors
offices and meeting fireman directed
him to call out the fire department.
Mr.. Mumm said;
81 was a block and a half away
looking directly at the dome OF the
church through an opening IN the
tree tops, when the dome seemed TO
sink down suddenly a few feet, and
then toppled over towards the north
west. In moment / heard rumb-
ling sound of falling bricks. | said,
The dome of the Catholic church mas
fallen / ran as fast as / could TO
the church, and when | entered no
one was in sight. For half a minute
there was silence that was appall-
ing. After that, deep down among
the rubbish | heard the groans OF the
wounded men. Directly in front OF
me underneath the fallen, roof, L
noticed the lifeless form of one of the
workmen. l jumped down from the
first floor to the basement, and tried
to lift up the roof. 1t was too much
for me and / called for help. By this
time quite a number of people were
in the church, but they wereso dazed
that / had to call several times
before l could get any one to
assist me. By this time we had
taken out the first man. DIR. Trevitt
on the scene, then came
the fire department and the police;
and then there was plenty of assist
ance. After the seven were taken
out, | was told by one of the work
man that underneath the central part
there was another man. | craWled
arc ind underneath, and found only
two or three places where it was
possible for any one to be. Later l
secured some electric torches and
went all over the rubbish again, until
| was satisfied that there was no one
else there"
The PILOT has interviewed several
who were on the scene and they say
that, regardless of the danger, Mr..
Mumm entered the building at the
very first sound heard from the in
jured men, which was as soon as he
could get there from where he stood
two blocks away. This is character
istic of the man; while others are
hesitating, he is right into the heart
Of the work, and this is true what
ever the nature of the conditions
before him, and, usually, all for some
one in distress, or for the good of the
at large. Mr.. Mumm is
to be commended for his excellent
work last Thursday morning.

SOME ONE TO BLAME.

The coroners jury empaneled to
enquire into the death of John Wach-
ell, killed in the st. James church
wreck, rendered its verdict yesterday
afternoon, after conducting an inves-
LEGATION parts of four days. The
finding of the jury does not lay the
blame for the accident upon any one
in particular, although it leaves an
opening for further investigation.
The verdict, in part, reads as follows:
The opinion of the jurors is
that the collapse was caused by
the crushing of the pier, situated
in the northeast corner of said
church structure, which support
ed one of the steel columns, sup
porting the central dome.
We are further of the opinion
that said pier was of faulty con-
Struction, and that the materials
specified and used were not of the
proper kind to support heavy
loads.
And as citizens of Wausau we
recommend that proper building
ordinance be enacted, to provide
for the proper construction and
inspection of buildings, so as to
prevent future disasters of this
nature.
The verdict of the jury lays ques-
ton of fault before the architect, the
contractors and st. James congrega-
ton to be settled. We believe the
public should withhold criticism until
the latter has brought its investiga-
ton to close, if such step is con-
templated. The congregation is not
composed of architects, stone masons
and carpenters, and therefore relied
on the wisdom of others, in the mat
ter of securing substantial building.
