HALLOWEEN.

The celebration of Halloween in
Wausau was just about as moderate
as one could wish. Our people do not
want their property destroyed, every
thing left outside carted off, but they
have no objection to the little tots
having their fun in blowing peas,
soaring neighbors with jacK-lanterns,
marking up the windows and the like.
The PILOT has not heard of thing
out of the way being done by the
children on Hailowe en- nightin Wan
sau. OF course most everyone in the
business part of the town had to wash
their windows on Saturday morning.
Our police force scattered about
and visited various parts Cf the city
i'm the evening and in fact during the
first part of the night bat did not
find it necessary TO make an arrest.
When it is known that the police will
arrest if property is destroyed, then it
is much easier to keep the peace.

HAD A CLOSE CALL.

Prof. Kadonsky of Marathon Coun-
ty Agricultural college,, was doing
business in Athens, Cad and Corinth,
Friday and Saturday of last week.
On his way to Corinth after dark he
had an experience about a mile south
of the cheese factory that he will not
forget for sometime. AS he turned
south at the factory he did not
notice the sign announcing the road
had been closed, and was driving his
car at pretty good speed, when sud-
denly he noticed something dark in
the road. He was so close, that he
threw on both reverse and emergency
brakes and his car stopped with the
lamps just touching large iron bar
stretched across the road, and on the
other side of it the iron frame of a
new culyert that is being put in.
Had his brakes not been working fine,
he would have probably been killed,
and the town of Johnson would have
had big damage suit on its hands.
Mr.. Kadonsky says there were no
lights hung out neither at the corner
north of the culvert, nor at the cul-
vert. AS this is main travelled road
it would seem as if it was somebody's
business to protect the travelling pub
lie against damage and probably loss
of life. We understand the Wausau
Iron Works is putting in this culyert,
and it is to be hoped that both they
and the town board will see to it that
in future red lights will be hung out
at such places. Record.

Government Expects Difficulty in Nov
ing Indians from Powers
Bluff.

The federal government through
its agents, has been trying TO per-
suade the Pottawatomie Indians, on
Powers Bluff, Wood county, to leave
their present quarters and move to
the northern part of the state, where
farms will be provided for them. At
the recent harvest dance, which is an
annual affair, attended by Indians
from all over the state, two of the
government agents visited the settle
ment and through interpreters,
preached the subject of removal to
the chief of the tribe, who has taken
the matter under consideration. 1t
is presumed that this change will be
brought about with considerable diff

old home on Powers Bluff, or as it is

CITY COUNCIL.

For the first time since the COM
pletion of the new city hall, it was
occupied by the city council on Tues
day evening at which time special
meeting was held. The city solons
first met in the old building and after
brief session of business, during
which report of the building COM
mittee concerning the new city hall
was adopted. An adjournment was
then taken to the new city hall.
When the council was again called to
order, j. M. Lull, alderman from the
Fourth ward, in behalf of the j. M.
Kuebler company presented Mayor
Ringle with a handsome bird's-eye
maple gavel, which was accepted by
the Mayor. Mr.. Ringle following the
acceptance took occasion to briefly
address the council upon the final
completion and occupation of the
new city hall, saying that it was a
credit to the city.
1t was voted that the furniture in
the old city hall, such as was not
needed by the city electricians, be
turned over to the Industrial school.
1t seems that the people along
Jefferson and Jackson streets are dis
satisfied with the way in which the
ornamental lights are being placed,
six lights instead of eight, as on Third
street. This will neceSSitate them
being placed zig-zag. In the dis
cussion, some of the council men
favored eight lights to the block and
others only six. When ornamental
lights are placed on the county square
on Jackson and Fifth they should be
made uniform with Third and Scott.
Whether six or eight lights are
placed on other streets will not
make much difference.
The finance committee made re-
port and recommended that the
following be levied upon the taxable
property of the city for 1913:

Both floors and basement are well
supplied with windows for light by

direct and indirect lighting electricity
systems.
The building has hot and cold water
throughout, is excellently ventilated
and is heated direct and indirect
system by steam, the plant be-
ing in small fire proof building
attached to the main building at the
rear.
The main corridor floor and the
floors approaching the counters of the
city clerks, treasurer's and comptrol-

council chamber and to the engineers
office are of Mosaic tiling.
The hall and stairways leading to the
second floor and the main seating is
in polished Italian marble with pencil

All inside partitions are of hollow
tile and all vaults of concrete.
The trimmings on the outer walls
are of Bedford stone.
The hardware and trimmings are of

The site of the hall takes a whole
block, 2l3 feet front and runs back to
the Division alley. The grounds are
raised considerably higher than Third
street and the grading of the lawn
pitched in every direction from the
building. A broad cement walk leads
up to the granite steps in front and
at the sidewalk it spreads out leaving
a space for fountain or piece of
statuary. On the east side of the
grounds six-fOot concrete walk runs
across the grounds from Forest street
to Division alley for the occOm-
mediation of all living down in that
part of our city. The view one gets
from the building, is one which will
long remain with him. At the south
is the valley of the Wisconsin river
which can be seen for a long distance,
to the right is old Rib hill and at the
north is busy Third street. The latter
view IS especially delightful in the

Nearly fifteen of the city officials of

The dedicatory services were held at
the city hall building, and that was
thronged from an early hour, pre-
GLIDING the attendance of the Merrill
tiles on account of their late arrival.
The city officials of Wausau made
up for that however, when after an
inspection of the new building, the
visiting delegation from this city were
entertained at luncheon at Vein
kauf's. Fifty of Wausau's Boosters
attended the Luncheon. The Mayor,
John Ringle, acted as POSTMASTER and
introduced the speakers of the even
ing. Many made short talks, while
attorney Schmidt of Wausau de-
livered the principal address.

others were not in attendance at the
luncheon, but witnessed the cere-
monies in the new building
CITY HALL NOTES
Twenty-Five years ago Hon. John
Ringle was mayor of this city and at
that time work was begun in building
what is now called the "old city hall. "
The next year the hall was completed
and dedicated, Hon. r. P. Manson,
later deceased, being mayor at its
opening. The building complete cost
81, $50. The present new editice, in
GLIDING the furnishings, approximate
ly amounts to about $4,000, which
are not exhorbitant figures, when you
take into consideration the high price
of material and labor engaged in its
construction.
The hundreds, yes, the thousands,
of people who have inspected the new
building, are unanimous In their
encomiums of this splendid new editice.
The PILOT editor has yet to hear of a
word of criticism as to its location,
the plan, construction or furnishing:
all seem to harmonic in the express
sions-"g grand" beautiful" ''su-
perb," etc. all of which are appropri-
ate.
Wausau's visiting neighbors and
friends who graced the hall that even
ing were most agreeably surprised at
this city's spirit of progression and
many of them stayed over day or
two to look over the city and to learn
more about its enterprise and the
way we have of doing things.
1t is estimated that at least II, 900
people passed in and out OF the new
hall Wednesday evening. Standing
room was at a great disadvantage
