Observe FIftieth
Wedding Anniversary

With an easy simplicity Judge and
Mrs. Louis Marchetti passed their gol-
den wedding anniversary on last Fri
day, July 7th. Those friends who
knew of the occasion showered con-
gratulatfons upon them but even dur
ing the day when Judge Marchetti was
presiding over busy court, many of
the attorneys who are in and out of
his court, did not realize what the
day marked.
Both Judge and Mrs. Marchetti are
very much respected persons in the
community. Louis Marchetti came to
Wausau in the spring of 1867 and has
lived here ever since. He first worked
in the saw mills, performing all kinds
or work that people were employed
at in those early days, such as raft
ing and running the river. Later he
taught school and held several pub
lie offices. He was mayor .of Wau-
sau from 1907 to 1904, during which
time he rendered notable service to
our people, and afterwards he was
elected municipal Judge
Judge Marchetti was united in mar
riage with Miss Emma Plisch, daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. GottIieb Plisch of
the town of Berlin, on July z, 1872.
They had one son, Erwin, who died of
influenza in Spokane, WASH, on March
20, 1919, and daughter, Mrs. Emma
Lakin, who resides with them. Their
host OF friends hope they may enjoy
many more anniversaries.

versity, Dean Fl. L. Russell, famous

At one-twenty o'clock Sunday morn
ing Mrs. w. H. Swinehart died at her
home in this city of puerperal fever
after brief illness.
Last Thursday Pat Delaney made

Eichert, the cash consideration being
$4,000. The farm contains forty
acres all cleared with the exception
of about five acres and fenced in.
| 1t almost made one resigned to the
racket and roar, the crack and fizzle,
the din and danger, to see the way in
which all classes enjoyed themselves
last Thursday. There is less bum
combe, there may be less patriotism
than formerly but there is certainly
more fun. The sight of whole fam
| lily gathered on the doorstep with
punches of crackers and torpedoes,
firing them right and left from the
old grandmother down to the toddler
of two or three years and all dressed
in their holiday attire, was a pleas
ant one, Notwithstanding the horrible
din, especially as this spectacle could
be witnessed in all parts of the city.

EARL WITTER BREAKS
ARM WHEN POTATO
SPRAYER EXPLODES

When spraying potatoes late Mon
day afternoon at his farm in the
town of Maine, Earl Witter, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Witter, suffered a
broken arm as the result of the explo-
sion of the sprayer. Mr.. Witter had
just finished pumping the container,
which he had loosened from his shoul-
ders, when it suddenly exploded shoot
ing in the air for twenty feet. The con-
tainer carries three gallons of a mix
ture of arsenic of lime and paraffine
and according to others in the vicinity
who have used it, a number of acci-
dents have lately been experienced
with these sprayers and this liquid.
Mr.. Witter tainted in the field but
was soon brought to his home. The
bones have been set and he is now re-
ported to be progressing as satisfac-
torily as could be expected under the
circumstances.

Buggy and Surrey
Are Gone ForeUer

The buggy, the surrey are gone
forever, replaced by four wheel
gasoline-operated contraption. So
neither of the conveyances of days
gone past are being sold in Wausau.
In search of a buggy or surrey of
the old type reporter of The Pilot
walked and phoned from shop to shop
but none could be found Every store
formerly handling these indispensa-
BILE features of farm equipment and
of the city's wealthy has gone out
of business. We've found it impos-
sible to sell them," said one hardware
man, "and recently when we had three
buggies on hand we sold two of them
at Phillips and shipped the other to
the southern part of the state"
Despite the fact that no buggy or
surrey can be bought here, milk wag-
ons are in demand. One dealer says
that it due to the fact that buggies
were converted into milk wagons
when the automobile came and that
these are now wearing out, being
gradually replaced by milk wagons
of the standard type.
That this evolution in travel is not
altogether to the benefit of the COM
munity at large is a fact that deal
ers in farm implements are having
impressed upon them almost daily,
One dealer declares that the majority
of farmers own cars whether they
can afford them or not but that they
buy machinery on time payments in
small installments, which means the
forfeiting of the discount that would
be allowed for cash. In some instanc-
es they give notes bearing interest
at six per cent. Also it can be appre-
ciated that merchant who is obliged
to extend SO much credit must often
become borrower in order to main
tain his business and that every in
crease in overhead means added cost
to the purchaser.

Major League Timber

Senator Claire B. Bird has issued
a statement to the effect that he will
not be candidate for reelection
to the Wisconsin state senate. Four
years ago Senator Bird was the can
didate of the Republican party in the
twenty-fifth senatorial district COM
prised Of Marathon and Langlade
counties, and was without Democratic
opposition. He entered the arena un-
der protest, but solely because of the
complications the war had developed
and because he wished to do all in
his power to aid our government dur
ing it.
The war ended shortly after his
election but Senator Bird was Obliged
to serve his four year term. AS a re-
suit he has left an indelible impress
upon state legislation. He did not
have to assume leadership at Madison
or labor to attain it, for his ability
soon manifested itself and his asso-
ciates thrust leadership upon him. So
1t came to pass that individuals rep
resenting other constituencies relied
upon Senator Bird to study various
questions and problems and to ferret
out their merits or demerits. When
many of these matters came before
the senate, Senator Bird was called
upon instantly His associates on
the finance committee are frank To
admit that they reposed an absolute
confidence in Senator Birds judgment
of right and wrong and while he was
not chairman Of the committee, its
members almost invariably accepted
his final opinion.
There are few Legislators who have
been able to accomplish more in so
short time. Senator Bird devoted
much time and thought to the elimina-
tion Of unnecessary work, of foolish
legislation and also sought to keep
the Wisconsin legislature confined to
proper bounds in its discussions and
deliberations. On the statutes there
are several laws for which we may
thank Senator Bird and there are like
wise many more the legal phraseolo-
gy Of which may be credited TO him.
Among those Of Importance sponsored
by him was the community center bill,
which makes possible the creation and
maintenance town club buildings by
small tax.
The community appreciates the sac
rifce Of time and money made by
Senator Bird at the behest of the
people of Langlade and Marathon
counties.
We cannot expect Senator Bird to
assume this responsibility again but
The Pilot hopes that the Republican
party will recognize that here Is a
man of major league timber. sena-
tor Bird deserves that recosaition,
in some way or other. from the party
OF which he is member.

SIXTH WARD NOT
FAR FROM FIRST
IN IMPROVEMENTS

The Sixth ward comes nearest the
first in improvements during the past
year Recently The Pilot mentioned
the construction OF forty-eight new
houses In the First ward. BY this
weeks count the sixth ward shows
that twenty-six are being erected and
that most Of these are beyond the
Grant school. Some OF them are be-
ing lived in at the present time al
though they are not quite completed,
needing siding or something else to
finish them.

Tom Delaney was down from Mer-
rill several days last week.
Neal Brown returned to the city on
the Fourth from Waupaca where he
had been assisting the prosecution in
the Curran case.
The familiar figure of old Bill Cross
was seen on our streets on the Fourth.
Bill resides at the poor house and
this is the first time he has been
seen in the city for two years. He
looks tolerably well.l
Dave Parcher brought one of those
enormous bull frogs which infest the
lakes above, down from Hazelhurst
last Wednesday and the same was
taken to the Arlington @. P. and there
placed in the rinsing tub. The effect
on Pete when he tried to rinse off a
glass a few moments afterwards was
something astonishing. The frog made
frantic attempts to crawl up on his
arm and at the same time beloved
loud enough to be heard half block.
The crowd had their fun and Pete
has managed to work his eyes back
into their proper place.
Louis Marchetti an6 Dr. Wynn
Wylie spent the Fourth in a novel
and pleasant manner. They conceived
the idea of indulging in boat ride
from this city to Mosinee. They ac-
cordingly started at six a. m. taking
provisions and fishing tackle. They
arrived at Mosinee about seven o'clock
p. m. with a nice string of thirty fish.
They report the trip most delight
full one. The day was perfect, clear
and not too warm nor too cold and
the scenery alone well worth the trip.
They returned by team in the evening.
On Saturday morning the following
young ladies and gentlemen, chaper-
oned by Mr.. and Mrs. c. V. Bardeen,
left for the Wausau club house on
Tomahawk lake where they propose
to spend a week of genuine camp life: :
the Misses Minnie and Lena Knox.
Margaret Schofeld. Mate Manson, of
this city and Miss Lou Chase of Sioux
City, Iowa and Miss Florence Ward
of Menaslla; Messrs Mark and Will
Manson, Will Winto1 A. l.. Kreutzer
of this city and George Foster of
Merrill. More from this city will
join the party the latter part of the
week.
Pulling and Kickbusch is the name
of new firm formed last week for
the purpose of handling fine horses.
Last Wednesday while j. j. Muck
erheide's team was on its way to Rib
Falls and vicinity to deliver pop and
so forth and was going down a long
hill four miles this side of the above
named place, the tongue broke and let
the wagon down against the horses
and they instantly ran away.

WILLS GETS TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT
 OVER JOHNSON IN TWELFTH ROUND.

per lip curling disclosing pearly row of teeth. He threw both arms around Wills in desperation.
 Wills resentment cost him the fa- yor of the -crowu and prolonged the fight. When Johnson <clenched Wills kept pounding and, warned several times, declined to stop hitting on the break-away. As the battle progressed Wills seemed angry that Johnson should last so long and the winner bore in frequently with lowered head lacing out terrible blows.
 Johnson's assimilation of punish ment was almost unbelievable. When he found he could stay on his feet he tried to take the lead but Wills pre- vented him. At last Johnson sent home a half dozen stinging blows, virtually all with his right but he could not follow them up. Wills appeared great ly weakened towards the close, but Johnson was weaker and stoic as he was, he finally had to turn his back, grasp the ropes and allow the referee to stop the assault.
 The semi final scheduled bout for 12 rounds between Floyd Johnson Gf California, and Whitey Allen, of New York, was stopped after two minutes and II seconds after the gong rang After Johnson's first blow Allen iJng

New York, Sept. 29-Another wood den soldier was sent to the rear ranks sonight by Harry Wills, the black pam ther, New Orleans, who Is keeping in trim for his bout with Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight champion, some time next year.
 The victim tonight was Clem John son, 204 pounds of jet black averdu- Izois who claimed the continent of South America as his domicile.
 The battle ended one minute and 55 seconds after the twelfth round open ed when the invader was unable to continue and the referee stopped the bout Johnson causd Wills to exert himself more than he has in any of his recent fights. The South Ameri- cans seemed impervious to punishment in the early rounds and he had the courage when he entered the ring that t he showed about the sixth round it
 might have been a different story.
 The crowd that filled the Garden booed all the way, disaprroving Wills awkward manner of driving his blows as if he were swingine a sledge. John- son was greatly weakened by these crushing, full arm slams that Wills l delivered to the back of his head. The South American appeared com pletely cowed when he stripped for
 action. He rushed in and landed the l first blow but in . moment he was l backing away, his forehead wrinkled
 in an apparent frenzy of fear, his up
