ELECTRIC STORM
IS EXPERIENCED
HEAVIEST RAIN OF SEASON
FELL ON SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY

Last Saturday afternoon, shortly af-
ter four o'clock, when everyone was
suffering from the intense heat, a
storm blew in from the west and for
about half an hour it nearly reached
the dignity of q cloud burst. The
rain fell in a perfect sheet and the
sides of our streets were turned in
to torrents of running water. Sewers
in some instances failed to carry off
the water and the result was that
some cellars were flooded.
Crash After Crash
With the storm came thunder and
lightning, crash after crash coming
In quick succession. In the center
of the city the electric shocks expe-
rienced were no trifling matter. One
bail, which seemed to permeate every
home from the river to east hill and
from Forest street to Jim Moore
creek, struck the steeple Of Zion's
Lutheran church, corner Fifth and
Scott street. 1t ripped shingles
from the highest point down to the
base of the steeple in a zig-zag way,
1t did not set the church on fire but
to be on the safe side, the fire de-
partment was called out
The employees of the Wausau Tele-
phone company felt that lightning had
struck nearby and rushed to the rear
windows. Just as the fire department
reached the scene the steeple was
struck a second time. One of the
young ladies witnessing this second
bolt, said: "The zig-zag bolt was just
like a picture in the movies. The
damage to the church will amount
to about $500.
The front of the Bells Hotel was
lined up with travelling men who We're
watching the display, when a bail OF
fire, as one said, as large as the moon
hit tree on the court house square
and then being attracted to the street
car tracks. The bail of fire then dis
appeared-and so did the travelling
men.
A large pine tree down in the John
son addition, just off Grand avenue
was reduced to splinters, only stub
being left.
Damage Not Great
While the damage was not great fol
few moments the storm stirred uI
great excitement 1t cooled off the
afrlosplleI e@izz :. faest. d elightfnl man
ner and at it's close the sun came on
throwing upon the clouds in the easi
rainbow OF gorgeous colors.s How
ever this did not mean that the storm
was over for from that time until
evening there was a succession Of
storms, not so heavily charged with
electricity but sufficiently so to jail
the nerves of an ordinary person.
Later in the evening a gentle rain
set in which continued all night. Fol
ten days previous the weather hat
been fairly hot and dry. The crops
needed rain, so did the lawns. i
was a welcome rain The fall or
Saturday was LOS inches and on Sun
day SO inches. At least in Marathon
county it gave an impetus to vegeta
ton which will assure year o1
abundance to our farmers.
The river is at good stage, the
reservoirs are full and the manufac'
turing plants of the valley will bt
we'll supplied with water power. Or
Sunday evening at six o'clock 8
storm hit Medford and in a very short
time 80 inches of rain fell.

WANT LABORATORY
TECHNICIAN SOON
HEALTH COMMITTEE BEING
HELPED BY LOCAL
PHYSICIANS

Since the resignation of DR.. G. d.
Partridge, who was in charge of the
state laboratory at the city hall, there
has been much discussion relative to
the merit of this laboratory. The
council is apparently convinced that
the laboratory must be maintained
and the health committee, composed
of Brayton E. Smith, Leo Crooks and
Paul Prochnow, has been working
with a committee OF three represent
ing the Marathon County Medical So
ciety, Dr. l. M. Addleman, DR.. Ro-
land F. Fisher and DR.. j. M. Free
man, in an effort to obtain a good
technician to assume charge of it.
sWhat we need right now is good
technician, not necessarily a physi-
cian," said member of the commit
tee of the Doctors association to the
editor of The Pilot. .We have also
been trying to obtain an agreement
from the state board of health to per-
NIT the appointment of health COM
missioner, a layman not a doctor, in
Wausau instead of a health officer
but we do not believe the state board
will agree to this arrangement. How
ever, the laboratory is needed badly
so that diphtheria cultures may be
quickly examined and so that reports
on other tests can be had quickly"
The city would be able to pay a
technician about S1,S00 which with
the $1,000 state aid received would
maintain the office. Brayton e. Smith
chairman of the city health commit
tee, is away at present, but on his re-
turn some person will doubtless be
employed.

125 YOUNG PEOPLE FROM
ALL PARTS OF COUNTY

One hundred and twenty-five boys
and girls, members of the different
clubs in Marathon county that have
been organized by Wakelin MoNeei
were in Wausau last Tuesday enjoy
ing an all-day picnic at Marathon
park. They were full of life, III
terested in splendid program and
participated in games during the af-
ternoon.
The young people came from the
towns and villages of Mosinee, Nor
rie, Ringle, Texas, Wausau, Marathon
City, Trappe, Flieth, Kelly, Maine
Halder and from the town of Kron-
enwetter which had the largest del
egation, there being twenty-five pres
-ent from that township.
Community singing was enjoyed
many popular songs being converted
into club songs with original words
Harry G. Berger, cashier of the Mara
thon County bank, gave a talk on the
Essentials Of Successful Life fol-
lowing which Miss Vangel Russell
home demonstration agent, told of
things that contribute to health. w.
j. Rogan gave calf demonstration
that proved very interesting. One of
the most instructive events of the
day was the cold pack demonstra-
ton by a girls team of which Miss
Marie Merkel is captain. ard the
Misses Bertha Cowee and Ruby Mas
are assistants Mrs. +. b. Coon has
been directing the young ladies IL

POW-W0W HELD
BY LEGION POST
DECIDED SUCCESS SAVE
THAT RAIN KEEPS
CROWDS AWAY

The Indian pow-wow held at Oak
island park under the auspices of the
Talbot Montgomery post No. 10, of the
American Legion, was a decided sue
cess in every way except the import
ant matter of finances. A large num-
ber of severe local showers on Sat-
urday and Sunday, followed by un-
seasonably cool weather on Monday,
prevented the large number of peo-
pie who expected to attend from out
of town from driving to Wausau, and
made the attendance at the extra per-
formance Monday night very small.
Instead of the Indians that were
expected, nearly $50 came. The cos
tuning and dancing were declared by
many who have witnessed a large
number of Indian gatherings, to be
among the finest ever seen. The
twenty-five hundred people who at
tended the performances both after
noon and evening were well pleased
with programs presented.
State wide publicity to the pow-wow
was given through the Milwaukee pa
pers, which published a picture of
Florence Whitening, and her baby,
born on the grounds. National pub
licity will~be given through the Pathe
News movies, and the American Le-
gion Weekly.
CuriOs Sold
A large supply of curios and arti-
cles of Indian making were taken
home by people who were glad to get
the opportunity to buy these rare
goods so cheaply.
To many Wausau people, their first
visit to beautiful Oak island was a
revelation, that showed them what
valuable piece of park property the
city is acquiring in developing and
popularizing this island near the cen
ter of the city. Judging from the con-
siderable number of tourists and local
people who came prepared for picnics,
it will soon be used extensively for
this purpose.
The Indians are very anxious in
1928 to stage much more elaborate
ceremony by burying the hatchet to
show that good feeling now exists be-
tween tribes that from early history
of the northwest territory have been
hostile. 1t has not been definitely
decided to have this in Wausau, but il
it were to be held here, and properly
advertised. it could be made an event
~ state~sisls importa4ce.
The Talbot Montgomery post No 10
takes this opportunity of thanking all
who assisted, either through attend
ance, or in any other way in the sue
cess of the pow-wow, and assures
them that it will continue in the fu-
ture in giving to the public the best
service it can render
