DEATH OF ARTHUR WILLARD.

Arthur Willard passed away last
night at his home in Houston, Texas.
The sad news reached his aged moth
er, Mrs. t. Smith, and sisters, resid-
ing in this city, this morning, and it
was terrible shock to them all as
well as to his many friends who heard
1T. Especially is this heavy burden
of sorrow to his mother, who is now
eighty-four years of age, and the COM
munity extends to her, as well as the
family, very deep and heartfelt SYM
pathy.
The details are not known at this
writing, but it has been very warm
in Texas, and recently Mr. Willard
was overcome by the intense heat
which may have resulted in his death.
Arthur Burton Willard was born in
this city May "a. 1857, and was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Burton Willard.
Burton Willard, his father, was a
prominent citizen of Wausau. He
was killed in the civil war, at Lees
Mills, Va, on April 80, 1862. Arthur
attended the city schools and after
gaining an education he entered the
printing office of the Central Wiscon-
sin and was in the various offices here
until he went to Amigo in 1882,
where, in company with his brother
Paul, he established the Weekly News
Item. In 1883 he was appointed
deputy county clerk of Langlade
county, and was elected clerk in 1885,
which office he held until 1887. He
held other offices of trust in Amigo.
In 1898 he purchased the interest of
his brother, Paul, in the News Item,
and the paper was conducted by him
until he went to Texas.
In that state he has been connected
with several of the largest papers in
Houston. He was very able writer
and many of his articles have ap-
peared in the PILOT since he went to
Texas. He was, at this time, arrang-
ing to start Masonic publication for
the state of Texas.
He wrote the reunion poem for the
late State G. A. r. Encampment held
in this city in June, a copy of which
was placed in the hands of each vet
eran.
Mr.. Willard was united in marriage
to Miss Fannie M. Lambert, at Mar
kesan, Wis, on the 9th day of Oct,
1893, and his wife and two children,
Hazel A. and Byron j., survive him,
and besides his mother are his sister,
Miss Hattie Willard, and brothers,
Paul Willard of Amigo, and A. M.
Willard of Milwaukee; two half Sis
tiers, Mrs. f. e. Bump and Mrs. JOS
eph Smith of this city, and a half
brother, Chas. Smith, who resides in
the West.
He was a member of the various
Masonic bodies and for years belonged
to the Lodge, Chapter and Command
cry of this city.
Further particulars of the death of
this very estimable and beloved man
will be given in our next issue, if pos
Sibe.

AMONG THE COUNTY SCHOOLS

Mrs. Giesel and Mr.. and Mrs. o. E..
Wells accompanied county superin-
| tendentJ. K. GieSel in visiting schools
in the town of Texas last Tuesday.
The first school visited was in dis
trict No. 4, taught by Miss Ella
Schmeling. The school was orderly,
earnest and Industrious.
The second school was in district
No. l, the Trappe school, taught by
A. Gauerke, a graduate of one of the
high schools of the county. His AGA
demic education was evidently in ex-
cess of his professional preparation
for teaching.
Proceeding a short distance from
the school the auto was stopped in a
little vale well warmed by the bright
sun and sheltered from cool breeZeS.
A bountiful luncheon was found in
the auto, to which due attention was
promptly given.
The third school was in district No.
2, taught by Susie Lamson. Here we
heard interesting recitations in civics
and geography, in which she showed
she knew how to use her library.
Mr.. Wells gave a vivid description of
the first naval battle between iron
clads, the Monitor and the Merrimac.
The fourth school was in district
No. 5, taught by Miss Bertha Buss
who was doing good work. This dis
trict is one of recent organization
and the building is new.
One regretable condition in all the
schools is the absence of boys, except
in the lower classes. The country
schools are primary schools with few
boys over ten years of age. Boys
seem to be going out of style, judg-
ing by the schools.
The day was one of exceptional in
terest and pleasure to those who par
ticipated in it. For the county super
intendent, the auto far excells the
zone HoSs Shay" of former days.

WITHIN THE LAW" A Thrill
LER OF LATEST OUT.


In the old days--not so very long
ago either-when the playwright took
pen in hand to write melodrama he
knew his audience would expect and
demand one thing-virtue must
triumph. But times have. changed
in this respect, and the villain that
once was Missed is cheered now. This
is the day of the "Crook" drama.
Never was man more heartily
applauded than was Joe Carson when
he confessed to police inspector and
the audience that it was he who killed
a defenseless man. 1t was in the
scene that brought Mr.. Bayard Veil
ler's play. ''Within the Law to an
end. 1t is thriller" that has for
its heroine young woman convicted
and sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary on false evidence, who
cleverly arranges her revenge upon
the man who accused her by marry
ing his son, getting him into all sorts
of trouble with the police and finally
clearing him and herself of any wrong
doing.

the Grand, Friday Oct. 8th.

DEATH OF MRS. w. E. DODGE.

A great shock came to our city when
it became known that Mrs. William
e. Dodge had been removed from this
life by the messenger of death early
Sunday morning, October Sd, 1915.
Mrs. Dodge was in the fullness of
health and good spirits until the past
week when she complained of her
throat, but no serious results were
expected. On Wednesday she attend
ed the Ladies' Aid Society in the par
lors of the First Methodist church
and at that time her throat troubled
her some. Alarming symptoms devel-
oped later and doctors were called who
did everything known to medical
science for her, but of no avail. Par
alysis of the throat was given as the
cause of her sudden death.
Mrs. Dodge, whose maiden name
I was Hattie L. Wolfe, was born at
Frankfort -the-Oder, Germany,
March 9, 1875, being forty years of
age. She came to this country with
her parents when ten years of age.
The Wolfe family located in Pullman,
ILL.,, for about year. Her father
was cabinet maker. About thirty
years ago the family came here and
located on farm in the town of
Weston. She became the wife of
William E. Dodge on April Both, 1899,
the marriage taking place in the
town of Weston. The union was
blessed with three children who sur
vive with her husband, being Wilbur,
Helen and Sheldon. Surviving her are
also three brothers, Ernest Wolfe of
the town of Weston, Alfred Wolfe of
Wausau and William Wolfe of South
Dakota and one sister, Mrs. Charles
Pidgeon of Glidden.
Mrs. Dodge was member of the
Eastern Star, the Auxiliary to the
Y. M. G. A. and devout member of
the First Methodist church of this
city and an active member of several
of the church's societies.
Her life was an uneventful one,
characterized by duties well done, to
home, family and church. She was
devoted to her family, neighborly
and pleasant to every one, which won
friends for her wherever she was
known. Universal regret is felt for
her death and sincere sympathy for
the bereft family.
The solemn and impressive cere-
monies attending the burial of Mrs.
William E. Dodge were held at two
O'Clock this afternoon from the family
residence, 708 Second street, and at
the Pine Grove mausoleum, by Rev.
Richard Evans, pastor of the First
Methodist church. Burial was made
in the mausoleum. The members of
the Eastern Star attended the funeral
in body, but did not have the usual
ritual services as the Worthy
Matron, Mrs. Otto Kaross, is out of
the city. The pallbearers were G. G.
Hooker, G. H. Hooker, George Pfeifer,
c. G. Kruger, j. J. Okoneski and
Henry Mckay. At the home her
bier was surrounded by beautiful
floral tributes and bore silent testi-
mony of the high esteem in which
she was held.

THE CITY FIRE TRUCK AND
CITY STREETS.

Fire trucks cost money. Tires for
them are a luxury. The efficiency of
a fire truck depends on the condition
of the streets. Poor, rough and
stony streets are the death of the
tire. An injury to tire may mean
serious loss of life and property.
Many of our city streets are not fit
for fire runs by the trucks.
East jefferson, East Washington,
Jackson, Liberty and many of the
streets on East hill and the West
side are in very bad shape. Work
men could easy clean off the stones,
level off the rough places and put
them in safe condition.
Why should this not be done

TOWN IS
CAPITAL

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Sept. 22.-
This little town of Bethlehem"
has become the birthplace OF
death!
Founded in 1741 by a group Of
evangelists seeking to spread the
teachings of Christ in the New
World 1t has become town
doomed by death. For here the
great Bethlehem steel mills, own
ed by Charles Schwab, are busy,
day and night, turning out mill
lions of shells and guns for the
allies.
It is really South Bethlehem
that has had success thust upon
it by shrapnel, for the Lehigh riv-
er divides the town, which for it's
size, is the most cosmopolitan in
the United States.
Its voice is of 20 tongues. But
now South Bethlehem does not
talk much of war. OF its $4,000
people 10000 and more are Aus
trians-the men Ambassador
Dumba is charged with trying to
incite to strike. They do not care
to talk much of war; nor does the
steel company want them to!
These are prosperous days. Off
work the men rush for the sa-
looms. Worn out they want their
beer. Big british fellows most
of them, their animal natures call
for boisterous, furious fun before
they sleep.
Rents are up, too! "Hunkies,"
as the English speaking say here,
are paying SIG and SIS a month
where before the war they paid
$12 and $14. But they are maxi
ing $1.60 a day and can work
seven days week If they wish.
And they are eating meat twice q
day whereas in the old country
they were lucky to taste it once
q week-so they are satisfied.
The works" are more than
three miles long-and growing
fast.
Already Schwab has bought a
row of five houses near the CON-
pany's main gate. A year and a
half ago you could buy the prop
erty for $1,000 and $4,000.
Schwab paid the owners $4,000
and $4,000 apiece.
