MOTHERS DAY

Sunday, May II, was observed as
Mothers day. A white carnation was
worn for the dead mothers, while the
red carnation was worn for the living,
according to a custom established a
few years ago, when, through nation
wide sentiment, the second Sunday in
May was first designated as a day on
which American men and women and
children should especially honor
American mothers.
In Wausau special note was taken
of the day and the ministers in their
sermons made special mention of the
day.
To every man or woman the best
mother who ever lived" is his or her
own mother. Therefore it is the
custom to set aside one day of the
year, the second Sunday in May, to
honor "her" or "her" memory.
AT this particular time it is more
fitting than ever that the day was
observed. The American mothers are
today making big sacrifice, giving
up their boys, so that our country
with other countries may be protected
and enjoy freedom. The mothers are
actively engaged in many var activ-
tiles. and are doing their utmost to
bring about an ending to this struggle
that will give the entire world peace
and freedom.

Zeno Speer played a most excellent
senator, the latter, a most difficult
role for so young a man to attempt.
There were two eXcruciatingly funny
Turkish guards played by w. A.
Meeker and Carl Helke and it is to
be regretted this pair had so little
to do.
Max Vehlow sang a patriotic song
with sixteen girls, who made sur
prise costume change that received
several encores. 1t was one of the
hits of the show.
The musical numbers, with one ex-
ception, were written by Mrs. Darnaby
and are of the whistling kind and
will be sung and played here for
many moons to come. There was
never a more charming group of
young ladies and handsome young men
on the stage of the Grand Opera
house and from a dancing and sing
ing point Of view, surpassed any of
the two dollar shows that Wausau
has had recently. All in all, it was
performance that can in no man
ner be compared to other local pro-
ductions or be criticised as an amatuer

make, from the standpoint of being
delightfully."- entertained, would be by
mentioning a number of the high price
road shows and this would then per-
haps do the people in the cast an in
justice by the comparison.
There were box parties both even
ings, but the one which was very at
tractive was that given by Miss Jose
phine Foster, in which there were
about dozen young girls, who seemed
to enjoy themselves immensely.
The Tuesday Musical club is to be
congratulated on the great success of
this entertainment as is also the COM
mittee which was in charge, viz. Mr..
and Mrs. L. A. Pradt, Mr.. and Mrs
L. H. Wheeler and Mr.. and Mrs. G. B.
Heinemann. The net proceeds of the
entertainment were $2,670.91, which
were turned over to the local Red
Cross yesterday by the Tuesday Musi-
cal club
Mr.. Darnaby received for the SER
vices of himself and wife, for the
rental of the costumes, and the use of
the play and music, maximum sum
of $400. This was a very reasonable
amount considering that the sostumes
alone could not have been secured for
an entertainment of this kind less than
from $500 to $3.50; that in case of poor
support, the minimum price would
have had to be taken, and this in
cluded, two weeks of their time, in
struction and directing. The entire
cast are profuse in their praises of
Mr.. and Mrs. Darnaby as instructors
of a very high order,

Mr.. and Mrs. M. A. Omholt received
the following letter recently from
their son, which reads as follows:
april 30, 1918.
Dear Folks:
! At last l am sufficiently settled to
| spare time to write, as l don't go on
duty until four this afternoon. l sure
have some detail for the first one.
We have fellow here, who is insane
and three of us are detailed to watch
| him. He isn't violent, so our job con-
sists mostly of reading and talking
| to him just as if he were a child.
| l surely had a fine trip coming over
here. I passed through the states
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware,
and 1 am now in Pennsylvania. Oh
yes, we also passed through the Dis
trict of Columbia. l saw the large
steel mills at Pittsburgh, the rubber
plants at Akron, and passed through
| the Allegheny mountains, and saw
Harpers Ferry, where John Brown
| fought some of his battles. 1t certain
| ly was a fine trip. Took us from Sun
| day morning at seven o'clock until
Monday afternoon at Ais o'clock, and
we rode steadily all but three hours.
Things surely are different here in
the east. The farms are small and
the buildings on them are very small
| The thing 1 noticed most was that the
barns are smaller than the houses,
and all the houses have chimney on
each end.
Philadelphia Is sure a nice city, but
haln {Yno fhot fc al
| fashioned. OF course, that's the old
Philadelphia, and the new part of town
is modern. Some of the streets are
narrow, in fact so narrow that there
is just room for one team or car to
pass each other. The steps of the
houses come right out on the side
walks, and the sidewalks in the old
part are made of brick. The people
are fine, and so is also the city.
Haven't seen Alvin as yet, but hope to
hear from him today.
We had three hours in Washing
ton, d. c., and we went through some
of the capitol; saw them make money
and postage stamps, and went through
the museum, and climbed to the top
of the Columbia monument and looked
over the city bit. 1t surely is won
derful place.
We are at a large hospital here
called the Naval Home, and expect to
stay here about six months. We sleep
in tents, but as the weather Is fine, we
sleep good and don't mind it at all.
There are sailors and marines here to
be taken care of.
Met a bunch of English sailors in
town last night, and they surely are
hard lot. They have uniforms some
| thing like ours, but there is a differ
ence. Ours look better.
All the whistles and bells say it's
noon, so suppose it's up to me to eat
| Yours in the best of health,

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

across George Pier, whom he found to
be superintendent of the said yard.
He explained to said Pier his wants,
and that was, the news. Now that
superintendent is as good a single
handed talker as the west side or
east affords, and the way said report
er was gotten into the Office was a
caution; an introduction followed as
did also a pleasant chat with Mr..
Stone, the secretary of the company,
and Mr.. Yale, the bookkeeper.
One of those times that makes the
shadows of approaching years seem
but as the sunshine of youth, was the
gathering at the residence of Mayor
Ringle last evening. It was the thirty
sixth anniversary of his life, and few
of his many friends, wishing to. give
him their well wishes for the years
to come, decided to meet with him and
join with him in the thankful thoughts
for the yesterdays, and the hopes for
the tomorrow's.
Among those present were noted:
l.. aMarchetti and lady, G.. Mueller
and lady, Messrs. F. w. Kickbusch,
]. G. Gebhard, DR.. Fleiser, P. Riebe,
B. Heinemann, E. Zimmerman, ]. w.

Bopf, E. Schultz, j. Carron, E. Schu-
bert, Nicolie, Zelinsky, Lohmar and
a number of others.
J. Patzer and wife were serenaded
last evening by their friends, it be-
ing the occasion of the eleventh an
niversary of their marriage. The
songs were fitting and charmingly
rendered.
E. B. Sanders leaves today after his
wife, who is visiting at WaZota, MINI.
Twenty-six years have I kept this
house, says Mr.. Winkley, and have no
intention of moving.
VIM. E. Wright, rector of the Epis-
copal church, will reach Fond du Lac,
for a short visit this P. M.
P. B. Champagne, hailing from Mer-
rill, came down yesterday to look
at the beauties of the metropolis.
Billy Allen, A. c.. Clark and B. c.
Gowen took the train this morning
for Eagle River. The boys will ship
home few whales and several sharks
next week.
Mrs. Bardeen and daughter, mother
and sister of G. V. Bardeen, came to

main his guests during the coming

Ely Wright is delivering coal. All
are realizing that the time is near
at hand when coal stoves will have
to be set up.
Paul Wernich shipped a whole box
OF ducks to his friends in this city.
1t demonstrates that he has been
having "dead-loads" of fun.
The gentleman who has charge of
the gas mains, and works in this city,
says the bad weather has set them
back about ten days. Had the rain
kept off, gas would have been turned
ON by the last of the month.
Capt. Leahy of Wausau, will log
on Noisy Creek the coming winer.
The cut will be in the neighborhood
of 100000 feet.

where he addresses a large mass
meeting this evening.
Miss Helen Hoefinger goes to Chi
cago today.
Gone the way of the world, not
the way that brings sorrow to friends,
and grief to happy homes, but of that
way, which makes two hearts happy

fusion is made to the marriage of
Louis Butter and Miss Barbara Stel-
Ter, Rev. F. Kern officiating.
In the wanderings of a reporter this
morning, he ran up against the i'm
mense factory of Curtis Brothers,
over on the west side. That reporter
is somewhat diffident, somewhat in
clined not to push himself forward.
The Office looked inviting, pleasant,
and its inmates CHEEKY and agreeable,
but they were busy, right busy, and
that time of all others, is a mighty
poor one to find news. When a book
keeper is right busy with a long
column of figures, to have a reporter
step into the room, and call out in a
voice that has lost it's tuneful vigor,
whats new," ink stand, office stools,
through the air in answer; hence
paper weights, ETC., will come flying

well stocked mill yard, and came

MARATHON COUNTY LAD
DIES IN FRANCE

Peter c. Smith of Colby, R. F. D.,
No. 1, passed away in France during
the past week of disease. His name
goes down in history as the first
soldier from Marathon county to die
in the service of his country overseas.
Mr.. Smith was a member of the
third contingent of Marathon county
selects, going to Camp Grant, Sep
tember 10, 1917. His order number
did not make it necessary for him to
leave home at that time, but he did
not want to wait until his turn, and
urged the exemption board to let him
go ahead of his time. While at Camp
Grant he made application for i'm
mediate service overseas, and was sent
over some time ago.

LETTER FROM ARTHUR OMHOLT

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ A. Omholt received
the following letter recently from
their son, which reads as follows:
"April 30. 1918.

save the Union, but they thought that
Lincoln was sleeping on the job.
Hence every one Of the numerous
small errors as well as the few big
errors of administration grew to vast
proportions in their eyes Horace
Greedy stormed ard fumed at the ad-
ministration and some people were
misled into thinking that Lincoln was
a good old soul. but quite unfit to
cope with the situation, that his cabi-
net was inefficient and that things
were going to the dogs generally.
General Fremont was just as brave a
man as Colonel Roosevelt. and meant
just as well and did about as much,
and as little, harm as the colonel is
doing now. Greeley and a few news
paper hackers made just as much
noise as the, frequently less welI-in-
tentioned. papers that are now ham
mering the administration.
Then as now congress wanted to
run things. Then as now it found
real mistakes, according to all histor-
ians. Then as now its few grains Of
sound advice was diluted with a de-
LUCE of the waters of ignorance. from
which the germs of malice were not
filtered. If congress had only then
confined itself to careful and discrimi-
mating criticism and not tried to run
war with ga debating society" as
Wellington would put it, it would
have left a better impression on pos
terity The present congress might
read history with profit. Concen-
tration is needed. In this the cham
Der of commerce is right, but it is
needed under the executive branch of
the government.
1t was fortunate for the Union in
1864. as it is fortunate for the democ-
racy of the world today, that the peo-
pie then understood. and now under
stand, that administrations are but
human and therefore liable to err:
also that critics are human and liable
to be mistaken. Today as in 1864, the
people stand by the administration in
the right.

WHENCE THE SADNESS

1t is right and proper at this time
to inquire in regard to the political
influence prompting actions and Mt
terances of Senator McCumber in the
senate of the United States. There
is no evidence to sustain his imputa-
ton that the allied nations are starr
ing. They are not asking us to cease
sending men in order to send food
alone. Strange that neither states
men nor war staffs have discovered
the things which McCumber has dis
covered They have not discovered
them, because they are not true. Nc
Cumber is not genius as a states
man, but he is shrewd politician
He has discovered this alleged CON
dition At a time when it is to his in
terest to discover it, for some sinis-
ter purpose and to get the support of
some element that is posing as being
patriotic What that element is. the
distance is too great to determine at
this time, but it is worth watching.
