The defe at of woman suffrage

WILL BUILD AN ADDITION

b. B. Thayer, owner of the Pilot
block, let the contract today for the
building of an addition in the rear
of the j. G. Penny store. 1t will be
25x40 feet, solid brick, with base
ment. The building will be completed
by the middle of August in time to re-
ceive the company's larger line of
new fall goods. The firm needed
space for its rapidly increasing bust
ness.
This new addition will necessitate
the learning down of the large store
house in the rear, which has stood the
winds and the storms for the past
twenty years without tumbling down ;
it has escaped being destroyed by fire,
or starting conflagration that might
have endangered the city; it's win
dOws have given the carrier boys of
the various papers much amusement
as they couldn't bear to see a whole
pane left in the building; it has been
used as back stop for the crowd of
kids and instrumental in developing
some wonderful baseball men. So
about the old building is entwined
many endearing memories; notwith-
standing, it has grown somewhat
shabby, is a fire menace, a blot on the
blSek and liable to tumble down and
disable someone, so we are glad it is
going to be. wiped out. The work of
removing it will be commenced within
few days.
Swarthout & Speer, architects, have
drawn up the plans for the addition,
and it will be built by Frank Seefeldt.

NIGHT FAIR THIS YEAR
Exceptional Free Attractions-Dana's
Thirty-Piece Band Engaged.

FROM the amusement standpoint,
the free attractions, the Marathon
county fair to be held August % to
81, will be one of the biggest and
most attractive that has ever been
held. ]. d. Christie, secretary of the
agricultural association, has made ar
rangements for several of the best
feature attractions obtainable. and
several more will probably be secured
before fair time.
The Florida Troubadours, a group
of harmony jubilee singers, will en-
terrain with old folk, popular and rag
time songs, and eccentric dancing
This is an excellent colored ouartette
The four Pierrots is company of
three men and one woman. who are
pantomimists and acrobats. An ar
tistic display of Grecian statuary. es-
pecially designed as to posings and
groupings, is feature of their acts
Miss Ramona Ortiz, young
Spanish woman, is an artistic of eoui-
poise. She is reported to give an ex-
cellent display on tight and slack
wire.
A great novelty act is presented by
Hermany's Cats and Dogs, performing
a series of most unusual feats such as
are rarely shown by these domestic
animals.
Perhaps the biggest feature outside
OF the exhibitions which are expected
to be as large as they ever have been.
will be the splendid band which has
been engaged for the entire period
OF the county fair. F. G. Dana's band,
especially made up for the fair, and
comprised of men selected from other
orchestras, who can be spared, total
ing thirty pieces, will furnish music
every afternoon and evening.
Unless the weather interferes the
fair grounds will be open every even
ing and regular night fair will be
carried on. There will be various
free performances, and a number of
things are being arranged to enter
tain visitors in the evening.

TWO SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS
JAILED

Trying to purchase nitroglycerine
In a Jewelry store instead of drug
store, proved the initial step in the
falling OF William Brandt and Walter
Kamke, both of Merrill, last Wednes-
day afternoon. The men were carry
ing two sticks of dynamite, two steel
drills, dynamite caps and fuse for
the same, and spoon such as is used
for nitroglycerine.
The two men had tried in vain to
get nitroglycerine and at last STUN
bled into jewelry store. Suspicious
were aroused and Officer julius Rad
uechel was notified. He was able to
get one of the men as he was boarding
street car, while Chief Malone
caught the other on Washington
street. A preliminary examination was
waived and the two are being held for
arraignment at the next term of the
circuit court. Their bail was fixed at
SO, 900.
When Officer Raduechel caught his
man in the street, car, the man threw
a package under the car as he was
getting out. This contained the dyna-
mite. AS the officers were taking
their prisoners through the city hall
park, the second endeavored to get
rid of the dynamite caps he possessed.
1t is rumored that the men were
slightly intoxicated and that this was
probably the cause Of their visit to
the jewelry store.
William Brandt pleaded guilty when
charged with having burglar tools
and dynamite with intent to use for
burglarious purposes and was SEN
fenced to five years at Waupun. Wal
ter Kamke pleaded guilty to the same
charge, and given fifteen months in
the Green Bay reformatory.

WELL TINED INFORMATION
Wausai1 Wis

Wausau,, Wis, July Is, 1917.
10 the Citizens of Wausau, through
the editor of the Pilot,
Dear Friends:
Those of you who attended the Wau-
sau chautauqua Saturday evening may
nave noticed that the larger part of
the audience failed to rise when the
81. Paul choir boys rendered the Hal
leluJah chorus from the messiah"
You who have heard any larger cho-
ruses give a performance of the ora
torla know that the audience rises
when the Hallelujah chorus is sung.
Not lnfrequently parenthetical note
ON the program will request the audi
ence to stand during the singing of
this number. 1t may interest you to
know just why this is done.
When the Messiah" was performed
for the first time in London on March
70, l743, it is related the audience
was enraptured by the music in gen.
eral, but when that part of the Halle
luJah chorus began, For the Lord
God omnipotent reigneth," they were
so transported that they all with their
king, George II, started at once to
their feet and remained standing un-
til the chorus ended. The custom of
rising during the performance of the
Hallelujah chorus originated with this
incident. The precedent has come
down to us as a sign of Difference to
the Messiah.
Following the precedent established
by the English king, let us, when oc-
caslon again presents itself, show car
Difference by standing while we lis
ten to that magnificent tribute.
