THE SAMPLE BALLOTS.
Those To Be Used At General Election
Tuesday, November S, Are Sent
To County Clerk.

County Clerk King has received
from the Office of Secretary of State
j. A. Frear samples of the ballots
that are to be used at the general
election Tuesday, November s. There
are three of these ballots-one fer the
presidential tickets, one for the state
and county tickets and one for the
referendum vote on the woman suf-
frage question. On the presidential
ballot will appear the names of the
presidential and vice presidential
candidates and the electors of each
party, which are regularly designated
as Democratic, Prohibition, Republi-
can, Social Democratic, and Independ-
ent. There are, in fact, two columns
provided on the ballot for independent
tickets and one Of these will be occu-
pied by the Progressive candidates
for PRESIDENT and vice president and
their electoral delegates.
On the state ballot will appear the
names of all the parties noted and
their respective candidates for state
and county offices. The names Of the
candidates for congress and members
of the assembly will also appear on
this ballot and provision is also made
for independent candidates, there be-
ing two columns for this purpose. At
the bottom Of the state ballot are the
three proposed amendments to the
constitution.
The first reads: ''For the amend
ment extending from twenty to fifty
years the time within which debts
incurred in the acquisition of lands
by cities or by counties having a pop
ulation of 10000 or more, shall be
paid"
& The second reads: "For the amend
nent authorizing the state and cities
to acquire lands for public ano lnuni-
cipal purposes or for permanent i'm
provements."
The third reads: 'For the amend
ment providing for the payment of
the salary of judges of the supreme
and circuit courts at such time as the
Legislature shall fix, instead of quart
ely"
To the right of each question are
two squares, over one of which is the
word eyes" and over the other the
word mo- If the voter desires to
vote in the Affirmative on any of the
questions he will mark a cross in the
square under the word "Yes' and if
he desires to vote in the negative he
will make similar mark in the square
under the word 'No."
The ballot to be voted on the woman
suffrage question gives full instruc-
tionS on how to vote and the question
itself reads: tShall Chapter 227 OF
the laws of 1911 entitled AN act eX-
tending the right of suffrage to wom-
en- be adopted?" The voter makes a
cross in the square under the word
"Yes'' or "No," according to the
way he wishes to vote.

CCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
PILOT THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO
SATURDAY. MARCH 25. 1876

1t is rumored that a rope-walking
feat, across the falls at Wausau, will
be the next attraction in a few days.
The frame of DR. Frost's new drug
store is up, and the building will
soon be ready for its new stock Of
drugs.
kolter's hall has just been lately en-
bellished with a new set of scenery
for its stage.
WHO shall be our next marshal %
This is question that is being dis
cussed a good deal on our streets.
The marshal is the principal officer
OF our city, and Geo. Steltz has held
it for number of years and has been
very efficient and faithful. We doubt
if Wausau could get better man.
The logging camps are nearly all
broken up and the town is full of
boys who have been engaged for a
few months in telling the stately
pines and getting the logs into the
river.
On Friday, the 17th, a party of
twelve men left the logging camp of
Pat Curran on Tomahawk river to
come to Wausau. The day was a
very cold one and the rains had swoll-
en- the streams and the men had to
wade through frozen water Mr..
Curran was with them and it was a
terrible trip. Five of them were
frost bitten and all had experience
with cold water which they do not
care to repeat.
The commissioners appointed by
the state to lay out state road north
of the state line have commenced
operations. d. L. Pluner, M. II. Nc
Cord and Dan Kline are members of
this commission.

BABY LOOKING FOR A HOME.

Rev. p. Peterson, Superintendent
of the Orphans and Rescue Home as
sociation of Green Bay, was in the
city this week on his annual visit.
This association takes temporary care
of dependent and neglected children,
secures employment for mother with
child without separation and provides
home for unfortunate, but worthy
mothers in time of need. Such mothers
are often unable to keep the child in
their charge and prefer to place it for
adoption in some good private family.
Mr.. Peterson said he would be GLAD to
correspond with any good family that
would like to adopt a child. Address

WANT OLD SLEEPER
SERVICE RESTORED.
Grand Rapids, Wausau, Tomahawk and
Merrill Residents Have Grievance.

Milwaukee, Oct. 8.-Residents of
Grand Rapids, Wausau, Merrill and
Tomahawk are preparing to petition
the Wisconsin railway commission
for restoration of sleeper service
from Milwaukee to Tomahawk on the
train leaving here for Minneapolis at
1916 a. m. over the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway.
The train passes New Lisbon in
time to connect with the Valley di-
vision train there, but despite this
fact the ST. Paul people insist on haul
ing the Valley division sleeper on the
train leaving here at $40 at night,
and allowing it to lie for four hours
in the yards at Lisbon.
Because the sleeper leaves here so
early in the evening residents along
that line are compelled to use up nine
and ten hours for trips which only
occupy five and six hours of actual
railway travel They are also pre-
vented from going to places of enter
tainment here in the evening because
the train leaves here so early.
Up to about q year ago the Valley
division sleeper was always hauled by
the st. Paul road on the midnight
train. In August of last year, how
ever, the company began pulling the
car on the first section of the Pioneer
Limited, alleging at the time that it
was only temporary makeshift and
that soon the midnight service would
be restored. Over a. year has gone by
however, and the sleeper still remains
ON the early train much to the incon-
yenience of Valley division residents.
] Now they are going TO the commission
and complain of service which keeps
them nine hours on the route for a
five hour journey.
| The merchants and manufacturers
of this city will also take the question
up and attempt to secure better SER
vice for the Valley division. The de-
tense of the railway company for
hauling the sleeper on the early train
is that the midnight train has Sc
heavy a sleeper traffic that it cannot
carry the car. The alley division
residents, however, say that some way
should be found to give them good
lservice.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Professor Heyer of the Normal
school at Stevens Point, who was Wis
iting training schools in northern
Wisconsin last week, visited our
school on Wednesday afternoon. He
gave an interesting account of his
personal experiences as a lad in coun-
try schools, and later asa teacher and
a superintendent. He gave vivid
pictures of school buildings formerly
and even now in use. He told of az
paratus and conveniences promised but
often not used because of the indiffer-
ence or stupidity of the teachers. He
portrayed many recitStions he had
/ card in which there was no thought
or mental activity whatever on the
part of the teacher or pupil. 1t was
his purpose to portray conditions
needing remedy and methods to be
avoided. 1t was an illuminating and
inspiring address, greatly appreciated
by the students and faculty.
Miss Hamacker, accompanied by
four of the students, spent last Fri
day visiting rural schools. Four were
seen during the day. tits interesting
to note the difference in the schools,
in equipment, in the teaching and
in the advancement of the pupils.
Tie most deplorable condition is al
ways the absence of older pupils.
The idea seems to prevail that the
schools are for little children.
In place of the regularly prepared
program on Friday, an imnromptu
debate was rendered Upon the ques-
tion: Resolved, That cosatr,F life is
more favorable to human develop
ment thon city life" After the three
leaders on each side had presented
their arguments the debs.te was
thrown open to all. Many t0ox part
and lively arguments were presented
on both sides of the question,

GREAT CROP OUTLOOK.
This Years Production Better Than
Last

More than billion bushels of wheat,
corn, oats and barley in excess of last
years crop were raised in the United
States the present year, according to
the official report for October, issued
by the Department of Agriculture at
Washington.
This enormous increase, however, is
only a starter. A gain of 18,000,O00
tons of hay and of los 100000 bushels
of potatoes puts these important items
into the bumper crop class.
The government report shows spring
wheat, oats, barley, ryeand hay all ex-
ceeding the best record productions,
while the crops of corn and potatoes
from present indications, also Will be
the greatest ever harvested.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Ex-president Roosevelt who was
shot by crank by the name of John
Schrank a Bavarian and bartender,
on Monday evening, Oct. 14th, just
as he was about leaving the hotel Gil
patrick, Milwaukee, to go to the
auditorium to deliver an address, has
had no serious trouble, more than a
cracked rib and the soreness incident
to such an ugly wound.
The bullet entered the right breast
and its course was about four inches
lodging against a rib. Had it not
been for the various articles which it
encountered in its passage, Theodore
Roosevelt in all probability would
have been killed. These objects
were.
/. A thick overcoat.
2. A rusty black broadcloth frock
coat, the one the colonel has worn
through this and apparently through
many other campaigns.
3. One hundred thicknesses of
heavy typewriter paper, containing
his speech for the night in Milwau-
kee-fifty pages folded double.
4. A gun metal spectacle case, con-
tanning the big tortoise shell specta-
cles the colonel uses for reading
glasses. The bullet grazed one o. the
lenses, but left it intact.
3. A black vest lined with silk.
6. A Madras shirt.
I. A woolen undershirt.
After being shot, Mr.. Roosevelt in
sisted on making his speech in the
Auditorium, which he did, taking for
over an hour, against the wishes of
the physicians in charge. Later the
ex-president was taken to Mercy hos
pital in Chicago where he remained
until Monday evening, all the time
being kept as quiet as possible by his
physicians and family. All o. the
members of the latter coming on from
their home in the East.
Col. Roosevelt, accompanied by his
family, left the hospital in Chicago on
Monday morning for his home in
! Oyster Bay. The doctors say that
there is no cause for worry if the
patient will keep quiet. Roosevelt is
planning 10 make one speech before
the end Of the campaign.
Schrank has pleaded guilty and is
in Jail in Milwaukee. He gives a:
his reason for trying to ;rSsaSsinatt
Roosevelt shat he was visited by the
ghost of Mckinley which ordered
him to go and commit this deed. he
viii be tried as soon as the outcome
of the injury is known.
