GEN. ORLANDO HOLWAY

A writer from Appleton to the Mil
waukee Sentinel, says some very nice
things about Adj. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way, viz:
Gen. Holway as colonel of his regi-
ment was considered the best student
in the guard, to which he has be-
longed since 1882, with the exception
OF lapse from 1888 to 1889. From
1872 to 1877 he was a student at the
Shattuck Military academy. In 1882
he Joined Co. G, Third infantry, Wau-
sau, and served as first sergeant, first
lieutenant and captain of that COM
mand, resigning when he moved to
La Crosse in 1888.
The following year he was COM
missiOned captain and appointed regi-
mental adjutant, a move which later
appeared to be a blessing for the
Third, for while serving in Porto Rico
he was recognized as the big man of
the command. He was adjutant COM
,nissary at times, aide at brigade head
quarters at times. He got food for his
regiment when rationS were sarce, al
though it was not the adjutant's work,
but he doubled up in his duties when
the commissary was sick.
He demonstrated such a knowledge
of military affairs that when the regi-
ment was reorganized in 1899 he was
jumped from captain to colonel AS
commander of a regiment he showed
such knowledge of the military game
and men that the other regiments
went to him and sought him to be-
come adjutant general.
He had the confidence of the officers
of the guard before he was appointed;
he now has the confidence of the Of
ficers in Washington. There is ap-
parently reliable information that
within the course of another year Gen.
Holway will be appointed a member
of one of the biggest militia commit
tees in the country although he has
only held office since October, 1913.

EVERY WOMAN
A Great Play viii be at the Grand
Opera House on May 18th.

On Thursday, May 18th, Henry w.
Savage will offer at the Grand Opera
house his production of the dramatic
spectacle, Every Woman" one of the
real lasting successes of the American
stage. 1t is estimated that it has been
witnessed by over four million people.
When it is considered that the manu-
script of this play which has cleared
over half a million dollars for its pro-
ducer was for many years kicked and
cuffed about the managerial offices in
New York, hopelessly rejected, the dis
couraged writer of unaccepted plays
should have hope. There are just
enough girls and music in the per-
formance to conceal from the tired
business man the preachments it con-
tains. 1t recites story of universal
experience and it's popularity is due
in large measure to men and women
who seldom attend theatrical or musi-
cal performances The leading and
title role is played by Edna Porter, a
young and beautiful woman. A SYM
phony orchestra accompanies the or
ganiZatiOn.

A LETTER TO MOTHER

Sunday is mothers day, and every
man or boy away from home is ex-
pected to write to his mother. There
are some mothers with missing sons
who will watch in vain for the post
man. To them this letter is addressed.
1t is what their own boys would write.

long, long, waiting has hurt you and
it hurts me, too. Do you think any
man forgets his mother? 1t is not so
When he lets himself drop out of her

agony of waiting. The pain it gives

things, and the bitterest one. that

Her Suggestion.

In the American Magazine a woman
tells of suggestion she made as the
result of butchers Indifference.
Il don't wish to complain about
your service" she stated to the man
ager, ''but 1 should like to tell you how
to improve it-at least in my town."
The manager smiled in a wearied
sort of way and resignedly asked,
"Wen?"
Tell your butcher at Blank to ex-
tend the same courtesies to a woman
who makes a twenty cent purchase Of
pork chops that he does to one who
buys two dollar leg Of lamb. Your
man is a good butcher, but he is hurt
ing trade by humiliating your poorer
customers. His method of obtaining
big sales win result in no sales"
The manager, to her surprise, jump
ed up and grasped her by the hand.
Thank you" he said for the sanest
criticism that has come to me for
weeks And he gave her a good Job
then and there.

CITY COUNCIL

The new city council met in its first
regular monthly session last Tuesday
evening.
The committee on streets and the
Board of Public Works, by COM
munication, recommended the improve
ment of quite a number of streets,
among them, north Sixth street, and
| the street going up the hill to the
hospital; Seventh street from Scott
| to Hamilton; Town Line road from
Grand avenue east to the city limits;
paving of the block between Fourth
| and Fifth streets on Scott street with
brick or creosote blocks; Clinton street
should have permanent paving rails
ing of road between the two bridges
on Strollers' lane, three feet and a
walk constructed on the north side.
A discussion of the question dis
closed the fact that the city did not
have the. money to go ahead with this
work this year and it was the senti-
ment that the city do what it could
this year and to do the work well. 1t
was especially emphasized that ma
cadamed streets should be kept in
good repair. Mayor Marquardt has
expressed himself in public addresses
that he believed it was great economy
to keep macadam streets in repair
and to oil them as a means of preser-
walton.
The office of assistant superintend-
ent of water works created by the
city council several years ago, was
abolished. The office was thought to
be unnecessary by the council.
The mayor recommended the re-
numbering of residences in the First
ward, all south of Forest street and
east of the st. P. r. R. tracks and
south of Franklin street. This was
referred to the committee on streets.
$4,000 was appropriated to Cutler
Post, c. A R., to assist in taking care
of the expenses for Memorial Day ex-
ercises.
An ordinance was passed requiring
any person who shall remove house
hold effects or business equipment
from one place to another within the
city to file with the city clerk notice
of such removal, giving name of owner,
date, and number of residence, etc.
A penalty of not less than $500 nor
more than $500 is fixed for the. viola
tiOn of this ordinance. The ordinance
can be found in full in this issue of
the Pilot.
An ordinance was adopted anneXing
the SEA of the NEA to the corporate
limits of the city. This forty is part
of the town of Stettin and is the site
on which the isolation hospital stands.
The ordinance can be found in this
issue of the Pilot.
Resolutions were passed authoriZ
ing the city to plow all vacant lots
for the use of those wishing to plant
garden truck, etc.
VIM. Heller gave notice that he
would hold the city for damages which
he received in a runaway on the 9th
of April. His team ran away and he
was thrown into some farm mach lery
unlawfully stored, which resulted in
the breaking of one of his legs and
badly bruising him. The matter was
referred to the city attorney.
Reports were received and read from
the city poor commissioner, city clerk,
city comptroller. and city treasurer.
The Wausau Pilot was made the Of
fetal paper of the city for the coming
year.

for few moments. He had just seat
ed himself when, looking up, he saw
before him three dogs gazing at him
with dogged inquiry and wagging their
tails with much friendliness. Mr.. S.
showed them the door and was amazed
to find that a dozen or more dogs
of assorted sizes were preparing to
ascend the stairs and that more were
gathering from every point of the
compass. Concluding that the smell
of thoroughbreds was altogether too
much of an attraction to the canine
population of Wausau for strict COM
fort, Mr.. S. made his way with much
difficulty, through the anxious four
footed crowd and drove off, followed
for some distance by a procession of
dogs.
