BUILDING COMPLETED.
Business Now Being Done in the New
Telephone Building. Opening Night
Will Be the Last of the Month.

The Wausau Telephone company's
new building is now completed and
with the exception OF hanging light
ing fixtures is ready to be handed
over to those who win occupy the
various rooms. The Great Northern
Life Insurance company and Employ
ers Mutual Liability company occupy
the entire second floor and are now in
those quarters. The Telephone COM
pany will occupy the entire third floor
and the foundation floor. The
switches for the central Office have
been put in place and all wired, the
work being pushed night and day for
the past six weeks. The entire work
was completed last Saturday evening,
and at 9:45 o'clock the cables which
connected the various telephone in
struments throughout the city with
the old central office were cut and
power at once turned on in the new
central office. 1t took only about 10
minutes to make the transfer and
now cur central office is in the new
ire proof building, which is one OF
the finest telephone buildings in Wis
consin. All there is now in the old
building is the long distance office
which will be operated for several
months or until arrangements are
fully made for it in the new building.
However, long distance booths are in
the new building, SO there will be no
necessity for any one but operators
going to the old rooms. 1t might be
well to state here that all the bust
ness of the Wausau Telephone COM
pany will be done at the company's
new office on the foundation floor and
telephone subscribers will pay month
ly bills there in the future.
The switch frames in the old CEN
trial Office are to be moved into the
new building and several hundred
switches wired up to meet the wants
of our people.
There is to be an opening night SO
that the building can be inspected by
our citizens. The date has not yet
been fixed but it will probably be the
latter part of the month.
The Gill-Dawley Lumber Co. has
leased the first suite of offices on the
first floor and another firm has an
option on the second suite, and before
the end of the month the offices will
probably all be taken.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

The training school faculty and
about fifteen students drove out to a
meeting of the Berlin teachers asso-
citation held on Saturday in the dis
trict where Miss Hasten teaches. A
program was presented by the asso-
citation in the afternoon, from to 5
p. m. Mr.. Ray GRANDSON, the presi-
dent, presiding. The training school
students assisted with music and
games, after which the members Of
the faculty each gave brief talk.
In the evening meeting for the peo-
pie of the district was held, at which
the members of the training school
faculty and the president of the as
ISOLATION again addressed the audience.
At six o'clock supper was served
under the direction OF Miss Ella
Mathwick, one of the Berlin teachers.
Many of the training school students,
who were unable to get back to Wau-
sau on Saturday night were enter
tanned by other students or teachers
residing in the town of Rib Falls.
About twenty-five students went to
see the geographical pictures pre-
sented by Mr.. Howe. Such scenes as
mountain climbing in Switzerland,
pictures of animals from all parts Of
the world, also American mountain
scenery were witnessed, great help
to the work now being done in geo.
graphy.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Smith
lecture was given to the higher
class numbering about thirty-two, on
the subject of Oriental rugs. Among
other things he told many facts
about the life and customs of the
nomadic FerSianS who make these
beautiful products. He explained che
manner of weaving and told all chat
is now known about the dyeing OF the
wool, which is and has always been
a secret art.
Miss Pauline Schulz left on Tues
day morning for her new home in
Columbus, Ohio.

COURTESY TO BOYS MOTHER
Parent Should Be Treated as His Most
Valuable Observation-Disclosures
Also to Sister.

Many boy fails to rise from his
chair when his mother enters the room,
while he would get up at once If a
stranger entered, and one would sup
pose that his mother, who is more to
him than all the rest of the women
kind put together, should, to say the
least, have from him the same marks
Of courtesy as strangers In fact, you
can tell a boys character pretty ac-
curately by the way n which he treats
his mother. for as mother has prob
ably done and will do more for her son
than any other wc,nan-with perhaps
one exception-will ever do, he ought,
In return, to treat her as his most val
liable possession. His courtesy, his
:hivalrous and knightly bearing toward
aer, are never thrown away.
She sees 1t all and thinks more of it
than does any one else, and he need
never fear that his thoughtfulness Is
thrown away. Perhaps, occasionally.

as he can harrow before quitting time
at night
Manufacturers have devised an at.
tachment to the pillow which enables
one to pillow and harrow as he goes.
The harrow is a rotary attachment
and can be hitched on to any sulky or
gang pillow. The manufacturers claim
that 1t takes no extra power to oper-
ate it, and 1t does the work of an ex-
ira team and man, thus saving operat-
ing expenses.
We are inclined to doubt somewhat,
the statement that 1t requires no ex.
ira power, because 1t seems to us that
the rotary harrow wide enough to GOV.
er two broad burrows dragged behind
the plows would make quite differ.
ence in the work of the team.
However, as many of these attach.
ments are now being used, particularly
in the west, it is quite evident that
they are regarded with favor by pro-
gressive farmers.

FADS IN ENGAGEMENT RINGS
While Nearly All Are Diamond Soil
talres, Some Persons Prefer Va
riety in Shape and Settings.

A jeweler says that ninety-nine out
of every hundred engagement rings
bought from him are diamond soil
taires. These are plainly set in a mar
row band of gold with raised effect
and only differ from one another in
the size and purity of the stone.
Occasionally a man wants sume-
thing different. Sometimes it will be
the birthstone of his fiancee Other
men will have a mixed ring, the name
of each stone representing a letter of
the name.
Square engagement rings are in ia
vor just now. A solitaire diamond of
this shape has small diamonds set in
the sides of the ring itself
Another engagement ring fancy
among couples that like to defy super
stition, is a big, deep-toned opal set
with 13 diamonds Colored stones are
not especially popular for engagement
rings, but il the fiancee has a fancy
for a special stone, as an emerald,
turquoise, ruby or opal, 1t is often
chosen, sometimes alone, usually sur
rounded by diamonds.
When an engagement ring must be
inexpensive 1t is pretty sentiment to
choose moonstone, which is sup
posed to bring good luck These are
pretty, set in filagree silver around a
good-sized oval stone.
The marking of an engagement ring
varies with the sentiment of the lover.
Usually it is nothing more than the
initials of the man and girl connected
by the word ito" and followed by the
date.
II man is engaged to a girl who ie
critical he should offer several engage
ment rings from which to choose.
However much this girl may be In
love, she finds It hard to endure q
ring she dislikes.

WAUSAU, THE CITY
HARMONIOUS

This slogan, recently proposed by
one of our citizens, is also proposed by
the PILOT.
Why?
These are our reasons:
The City Harmonious includes the
idea of the City Beautiful; but it
means more than this, and it should,
for there is something here more
valuable, richer, dearer than scenic
beauty. Artists are enthusiastic
about our hills, our mixed woods, our
verdure, our enhancing sky, but
Wausau is something infinitely better
than beautiful.
The City Harmonious includes the
idea of the City Cooperative. While
we believe in the development of each
individual, our citizenship has al
ways had reputation for boosting
our own town. We have never been
split into petty warning sections to
the detriment of the city. There is
unity here. We speak the truth and
expect the truth and respect each
others opinion, but we never differ
when the welfare of Wausau is at
stake. This is unity, cooperation,
harmony.
The City Harmonious includes the
idea of the City Dutiful, for no peo-
pie can be harmonious who do not
acknowledge their duty toward their
own home town; toward their young
men and young women of their own
town; toward the institutions and
the general welfare of their own
town.
The City Harmonious includes the
idea of the City Progressive. Growth
means harmony. There can be no
harmony where there is 40 growth.
The orchestra does not produce har-
mony until it gets into action. One
tone, or one chord, and nothing more
would be monotonous. We must
move on, grow, develop or there can
be no harmony.
We are therefore hosting today for
our slogan the banner, WAUSAU,
THE CITY HARMONIOUS.

DEATH OF MRS. BALMAT.
One of the First Teachers Of Wausau
and Merrill Dies iE Nebraska.

Mrs. Joseph V. Balmat of Aida,
Neb.. passed away at her home on
February 18th. She had been i'll for
a wear past with heart trouble. Her
maiden name was Katie Goodrich.
She came to Wausau when young
girl. with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Goodrich, and when only six
teen she taught the first school on
the west side. The school building
was located on what is now Harrison
Blvd, opposite Forest street, ON the
east side. She was one of the young
ladies here who was very popular.
Her parents went from here to Super
ior going through the trail north,
when dog trains were the only means
of transportation. Miss Goodrich
went to Appleton and attended school
and later came back here. A new
school house had been built at Jenny
at a cost of 5000 and Miss Goodrich
was secured to teach in it. She was
the very first teacher in Merrill. She
afterwards taught a private school
here.
Some of the experiences of her life
in the pinery were very severe. In
the latter part of the sos she went as
a governess in the family of Joseph
Fox, a lumberman of Stevens Point.
He was logging extensively up near
Pelican, and he took his family up
there for the winter. One day Mr..
Fox took his gun and started out to
| look over some timber. He was never
seen or heard of after that. In the
Spring Miss Goodrich accepted the
offer of two Indians to bring her to
Wausau The first night was stopped
| at the home of half-breed. The In
dians filled up on liquor and made
the night one neyer-to-be-forgotten
by the young teacher, as they yelled
and pranced about. She was about
to make her escape and take her
chances with the wild beasts of the
forest rather than with the Indians,
but just at that time l.. S. Cohn who
traded with the Indians extensively
in those days, came along with his
party, they having come down the
river and stopped for the night. He
stopped the carousal, also quieted the
fears of the young girl. She made
the balance of the trip to WausaU
with Mr.. Cohn and party. From
Wausau Miss Goodrich later went tt
Canada and from there East to visit
relatives. There she was married tt
| Mr.. Balmat. She has resided in Ne
braska for over thirty years. Sht
came to Wausau TO visit about twelve
years ago, being a guest of her ole
friends, Mr.. and Mrs w. W. De Voc
There are quite number who knew
this excellent woman and who sincerely
mourn her death. She is survived by
six grown children, two sons and fouI
daughters.

THE fact that rates of express COM
panies are substantially three times
the first class freight rates of railroads
was lately developed at the inves-
tigation into the rates and methods
of express companies instituted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
These greedy corporations it is hoped
have about reached their limit, bill
having lately been introduced in con-
gress to take over their properties by
the government and operate them as
part of the postal service.

ONE of the sensations Of the past
week in political circles was the with
drawal Of L. L. Lenroot as La Toilette
candidate for delegate to the national
republican conVehtion. 1t seems that
when a man is on the toboggan even
those to whom he has given years Of
help and support, desert him. Len
root gives a reason for dropping La
Toilette and that is he wishes to give
a Norwegian chance to support the
Senator.

GENERAL ALL-AROUND BIRD
Little Difference In Three Varieties Of
Family Provided They Are Equally
Well Handled.

In reply to the query, How do the
white, silver-laced and golden Wyan-
dottes compare as general all-around
birds, also for laying and breeding,
the following reply is made:
There is very little difference in the
three varieties of the Wyandotte fam
lily named provided that they are all
equally well handled. Much depends
upon strain, for there are good and
poor egg-laying strains, in all breeds
of fowls and their different varieties.
