OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
WAUSAU PILOT THIRTY THREE YEARS AGO

New York, where they will spend the
rest of the summer visiting.
]. r. Bruneau, county treasurer,
boarded the train Friday for Madison
and Milwaukee on business.
Last Wednesday afternoon we were
visited by a storm of unusual violence.
The hot Sultry atmosphere and dark
clouds betokened that little wind
might be expected, but we were not
prepared to have it come on us quite
so swift. MuRh damage was sustained
in the south eastern portion of our city
where it seemed to be more severe,
the large building of j. and A. Stewart
& Co., which was in the course of con-
struction was leveled to the ground;
the roof of the old Lyman mill was
blown off, lumber piles blown over,
and lumber scattered, trees blown
down, etc. This seems, surely, to be
a windy season.
The Wausau Cemetery. in 1850. or
thereabouts, was situated on Grand
avenue, adjoining Schubert's park, the
ground being very sandy in that vicin
ity, a deep ravine has been formed by
the action of the elements, the sides
of which keep washing away year by
year. Last Wednesday some small
boys were playing there and came
across a human skull.

THIS is BABY WEEK

There was never a time in this
world when more attention was paid
to the conservation of human lives
than the present time, except in war.
The baby mortality in many places
has been great, much greater than it
should be, so a week, from the 4th to
the 18th of March, has been set apart
for the babies. The Federation of Wo-
mems clubs, the State department of
health and the extension division of
the University of Wisconsin are fur
thering the movement. Upwards of
100000 died in the United States last
year of diseases that might have been
prevented, and it is because of this
that this movement is inaugurated
The object is to give out information
during the week in printed form that
will tell how to reduce the mortality
During the summer months deaths OF
infants are unusually high and the OBJ
ject is also to tell how to care for and
feed babies during the warm weather
The state board of health which is
cooperating with the WOmen's clubs
and other agencies in the campaign
says that big towns and little towns
rural communities and clubs and all
denominations in the state are inter
ested and are desirous of doing some
thing in behalf of the babies and to
reduce the baby death rate.

of our city. 1t should also add a
stimulOus to create a greater demand
| here at home and in the surrounding g
country for flour mill products man
ufactured in Wausau, thus eliminating
more and more these products from
our markets, manufactured in other
communities that add nothing to the
resources of our city.
With the facilities and modern
equipment at hand, practicallyready to
operate has already demonstrated the
manufactured products are equal to
the best, but little more is now neces-
sary to complete the organization.
The officers of the company stated
today that the majority of the stock
has already been subscribed, of which
the greater amount is paid in. The
company is offering the balance of the
stock to the public, both common and
preferred, in amounts suitable to the
investor, at present, at par value
of $4,000 a share. The dividends for
the preferred stock are cumulative If
earned to yield a dividend of seven per
cent per annum. The common stock
participates in the remainder of all
the surplus earnings. The company
cordially invites those desirous of be-
coming interested in the corporation
to visit the plant at any time, and the
officers of the company will extend all
the help and cOurtesies necessary to
a complete understanding.
1t should be remembered that mas
much as the original investors have
many times more invested than will sub
sequent shareholders, it is self-evident
that it is to the original investors in
! terests to secure the best results pos
sible, thereby assuring an equal pro-
! fit to the investor in proportion to his
or their holdings.
This corporation was recently in
/ cOrporated with a capital stock of
100000 divided into 100000 of COM
mon stock and 100000 of preferred
stock. The entire holdings, cOmpris-

PROSPERITY DAY

The merchants in general of our city
feel that the Prosperity Day celebra-
ton has meant much to them. 1t has
brought very forcibly to our people
the necessity of purchasing goods at
home. without which there can be no
prosperity. 1t has brought about an
optimistic feeling and an ambition to
get right down and hustle for the bus
mess that is within reach. Those who
had the affair in hand for Wausau, and
who so successfully carried out the
details are entitled to all the praise
that is given them.
