VIEWS OF A VISITOR.

Every man to his trade" is an old
adage, and it may be for that reason
that the criticisms of painter and
decorator, who visited this city dur
Ing the Master Painters convention,
are deserving of especial weight.
Wausau," said this delegate. sis
the most attractive city 1 have ever
visited, in some respects. lean think
OF no other place where the homes
are as uniformly well painted as you
have here. l have walked and ridden
around your city a great deal and
can honestly say that in that time /
have not yet seen a really shabby
house, nor one that stood badly in
need of paint. 1t is part of our trade
to look for houses that need repaint-
ing and you may rest assured that
was on the lookout to see how many
obvious jobs the local painters were
passing up. Then your city can boast
of wealth of fine shade trees that set
1T of to advantage and as for your
yards and lawns it seems to be in the
air for you to view with one another
in this respect, even the more modest
homes having neat and well trimmed
lawns. 1t does one good to see city
where everyone wants to put the best
foot forward and nothing gives a
place better tone than neat and well
kept homes. They are the things
from which your people are Judged. /"

CLASSY PERFORMERS FROM
EUROPE COMING WITH
CIRCUS.

The Gollnar Brothers Circus which
comes to Wausau, August 9th, is a
combination of the most popular
shows, which toured the country
heretofore. These shows are now
recognized as circus of the best class
and of the greater kind. The union
of these shows includes just about all
there is in the amusement world
which is really worth while.
From the opening pageant to the
Hippodrome races the acts in these
combined shows are of the very best
class obtainable in Europe and Amer
lea. The Moro family is marvellous
novelty act, seen for the first time
in this country in many seasons, they
having been abroad. The LaRue
Troupe have never been seen in this
country before The Billy Wood
brigade of clowns are not exactly new
to the fun loving public, but have
many really funny stunts which are
actually ludicrous and Lead All
Clown Stunts.

NEW "Y" SECRETARY.

Neil Campbell for number of
years secretary of the Y. M. G. A.,
and his family have departed for their
new home in the West, to which
place they carry with them the best
wishes of host of Wausau friends.
Mr. Campbell during the many years
he was in charge of the "Y" in this
city merited and won the confidence
and esteem OF all with whom he came
in contact, and his influence for good
in the community as whole and in
the lives of many young men was inn
measurable. He proved himself a
fearless, honest, sympathetic man,
one in whose judgment and candor
there was no question, and one whose
chief interest lay in aiding and ad-
yising young men. The growth. of
the ''Y" since his coming to this city,
and the securing for its home Of the
magnificent property at the corner of
Third and Grant streets, are amoLg
the visible results of his efforts, but
the greater and best part of his work
will never be known to the public,
simplyto the few individuals to whom
he pointed out the new and better
paths of life.
AS secretary Mr.. Campbell will be
succeeded by Carl f. Ogden, who for
the past three years has been director
of the boys work in the La Crosse
Y. M. G. A. and who comes here
highly recommended.

THE WORM HAS TURNED.
EDITOR PILOT :

ILOIIOh l. ALOL
/ write you to inquire why it is that
the cement sidewalk builders of this
city are allowed privileges that would
not be tolerated in any one else, or in
any other community. 1t is not nee
essary that whole streets should be
obstructed merely to accommodate
them. For weeks at time I have
seen loads of sand and gravel lying in
roads obstructing bitches and atnight
not even being guarded by a red light
to warn drivers of the danger of using
that side of the roadway. During the
past week walks have been laid on
Grand avenue, opposite that stretch
of track from which the street rail-
way recently removed its switch.
This piece of roadway has not yet
been rolled down and leaves but a
narrow track on each side fit for
travel. The cement workers not only
encroach upon this with their boxes
and platforms of cement, but yester-
day dumped loads of sand and gravel
in the narrow pathway, making car
riages and automobiles turn out into
the rough and unrolled rock near the
car track. Owners of vehicles have
some rights, and these should be pro-
tected! Further, these sidewalk build
ers should not be allowed TO dump
gravel in the street and leave it there
for an indefinite time, and while it is
in the roadway they should be COM
PEELED to maintain red lights upon
every pile as warning to drivers. In
stead of chasing up few who happen
to ride bicycle along the sidewalk,
or somebody who goes mile or two
faster than the speed limit, it might
be good idea to enforce the ordinance
in regard to obstructing the streets.
FAIR PLAY.

THE cow QUEEN.

Speaking of the "female of the spe.
cies" there is no greater eulogy ever
bestowed than that which Col. +. w
Wood applies 10 the COW. She is a
boon to mankind and almost a mother
to us all. Col. Wood said 'Of all
the animal friends of man she is the
greatest. To her we owe the most
If | were to take from the dinner table
what the COW has placed there / would
take the cup of milk waiting at baby's
chair. I'd take the cream, the cheese
the butter, the custard pie, the cream
biscuit, the steak, the smoking roast
of beef and leave you to make meal
on potatoes, beets, pickles and tooth
picks. There is not thing from her
nose to tail that is utilized for the use
of man. We use her horns to comb
our hair, her skin upon our feet, her
hair keeps the plaster on the wall, her
hoofs make glue, her tail makes soup,
her bones are ground up and fertiliZe
our soil. Her blood is used to Whiten
sugar, and her paunch makes the finest
kind of white cardboard andfalse teeth.
No other animal works both night and
day for man, for she gathers her food
in the day time and when we are
asleep at nightshe bringsit back to re-
chew and convert into all the things
above named. 1t was her sons that
turned the sod in the settlers clear
ing; it was her sons that drew the
prairie schooner for the sturdy pion-
eers who fought their way inch by
inch. Who can say that much Of
what we are we owe to this noble ami
NAL, the COW. Treat her well, for she
is A. oueen -

August Kickbusch has nearly COM

where the old store now stands. (But
he never did.

FINANCIALLY AHEAD.

A balance of 3d. 35 as the net profit
OF an entertainment course does not
look very large and alluring, but this
balance, small as it appears, is more
than satisfactory to the directors and
members of The Wausau Lake assemb-
~, under whose auspices the recent
ChauCduqua was conducted in this
city. Those who conceived the idea
of giving our people a course of high
class entertainments were actuated
more by the educational benefits that
would accrue to the community than
by any hope of profit, and, in fact.
looked forward to possible deficiency
because of the fact that the Chau-
tauquas seldom come out even at the
end of the first season. A possible
deficiency of $1,000 or $1,000 had been
looked for and provided for by a guar
antee fund, as where they have never
had an assembly of this nature, the
first and most serious obstacle to
overcome is the widespread belief
that the Chautauqua is ''high-brow''
affair and tediously uninteresting.
The last assembly thoroughly dissi-
pated that idea in Wausau. The first
few numbers demonstrated that it
consisted of series of high class and
interesting entertainments of such a
character as to be enjoyed by the or
binary run of people. The increasing
attendance from day to day proved
this, and from now on there is no
question of the standing of the Chau-
tauqua in this community. WausaI
people are willing to patronize good
thing, and if the program arranged
for next year is as good as for the one
we have had the directors need feel
no uneasiness as to the financial out
come. 1t is safe to say that from
now on the Chautauqua is, like the
county fair for instance, one of the
fixed institutions of Wausau.
The detailed report of receipts and
expenditures made by Secretary
Schmidt was as follows:

plan. The main building will be 80

course, we made inquiries as to who
was building this fine house; imagine
our surprise when we were told that
it was r. FL. johnson, editor of the
Central. What, an editor build a
house, and a large one, tool What
does it mean? Why it means that

The practice of buying poison and
administering it to dogs has been a
source of complaint at times for years.
No one has yet been made to suffer
the penalty which the law prescribes
for this kind of sport, and perhaps
those who engage in it do not know
that they are doing an unlawful act,
but such is the fact, and the punish
ment is severe. Dogs, generally
speaking, are nuisance, but there
are those which are truly valuable.
A squad of Indians and halfbreeds
spent night in Jail during the week,
Che result of taking too much fire

liquor to Indians is very stringent
and provides for severe punishment
to those who violate it's provisions.
When Indians are found intoxicated
they may be confined and held until
sober and their evidence taken as to
where and of whom they obtained the
liquor.

and autumn.
Protect children from exposure to
flies and do not allow nursing bottles
to be exposed.
Protect milk and foodstuffs from
contact with flies.
Keep the garbage outside the house
carefully covered.
Abolish open drains near dwelling
places.
