Pablished weekly and entered at the Post Office at Wansao as second class matter. Year XXXVII. With this issue the Pilot commences on its 38th year. The past has been a very trying year for the Pilot, as it has been twice moved and the last time to the second lloor of the new Pilot build ing. notwithstanding it has continued to do business right along, and is now in a better condition to meet the wants of the public than ever before. We invite everybody to call on us in our new quarters. The Eau Claire Daily Leader has gone over to the stalwarts, having left the democratic ranks. McKinley left property to the value of over $200,000. This has been defin itely ascertained by appraisers. Davii> Nation has been granted a divorce from Mrs. Carrie Nation, she of hatchet fame, of Medicine Lodge, Kansas. The charge was “gross neg lect of duty.” Is it not about time that anarchist Taylot of Kentucky was brought to jus tice? The assassination of state govern ors is the same sort of crime as the as sassination of Presidents. Kate M. Pier, the well known wom an lawyer, was married in Milwaukee to James A. Mclntosh last Wednesday. The bride is well known to many in Wausau. She will now give up the practice of law. Ex-Governor D. 11. Waite, of Colo rado, dropped dead on Wednesday morning. He was a well known man of our country, and was brought into prominence during the financial crisis by what is termed the “Bloody Bridles” speech. ' Is it not bout time the civilized world intervened in behalf of suffering Great Britain, to save that poor country from the Boers? It isqflain that those Boers will never quit unless some out side influence is brought to bear on them. Tammany is far from being as corrupt as the ring that governs Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. But it makes a dif ference to republican papers what the politics of the ring happen to be. Hence, you will hear very little from them about the Pennsylvania ring. Hon. Webster Brown has Washington to take his seat in Con gress. He has expressed a desire to be placed upon the house committee on Indian affairs, which position was held by ex-Congvessman Stewart tor six years. Mr. Brown would make a valuable member of that committee because of his knowledge of timber, etc. The Milwaukee Sentinel gives a list of the hunters killed, wounded and mis sing iu Wisconsin during the deer hunt ing season just closed. It sums up: killed 17, wounded 33, missing 1. The campaign also resulted in the killing of a large number of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and deer. Now, Mr. Football, you go away back and sit down. You are not in it. The law passed last winter by the Wisconsin legislature, putting a tax of 10 cents a ton on all ice cut for ship ment outside of the state, is raising a howl from the Chicago ice dealers, who state that about one-half their supply comes from Wisconsin lakes, and if they cannot knock out the law in the courts they will remove their ice houses to Illinois or Indian a. The loss of human life in mines, con flagrations and railroad accidents mir ing the first year of the 20th century has been appalling. Horrors —or what were so called a few years back, have become so commonplace that the efforts of the daily press to draw the attention of the public to them have small results. It is pretty hart! to attract attention to anything now, but the almighty dollar. The republican aud democratic eau cusses of the House of Representatives met in Washington on Saturday and nominated their choice for speaker of the House. The former's choice was Congressman Henderson to succeed himself, and the republicans being in the majority, Mr. Hendorsou will pre side for another year. The democrats cast their votes for Congressman Rich ardson, of Tennessee. One of millionaire Pullman's sons died a few days ago in California. Scarcely out of his 'teens, he had been married twice and divorced once, had taken the gold cure for the alchohol habit and relapsed, and has been a physical wreck for the past year or two. Such is the result of his father's insare devotion to wealth-getting and conse quent neglect of his family. If Pull man had raised sons who were good American citizens the world would have profited by his life. As it is the poorest tramp who begs does the world as much good as Pullman What War Does. We venture the belief that an im partial study of history will convince the student that, strange as it may seem at first thought, the war habit de stroys a nation’s best fighting qualities. In other words the more a nation prac tices war the less is that nation able to carry on successful wars. The Unm ans, the Persians, the Saracens, the Turks, the Spaniards and the British, are notable examples of this. The old est of these nations utterly enervated themselves by their own warlike aggres sions. The latest of them, who still occupy to a greater or less extent the theater of human action are fast follow ing to the grave occupied by their pre decessors. War destroys the flower of the youth of a country. No country can stand the continual drain of war upon its best men, and continue to be strong and vigorous. War demands for its soldiers men physically perfect. Of these it kills many, cripples man}-, ruins the health of many more, and de moralizes many who escape its other dangers. Then it entails upon those who stay at home a heavy burden of taxation giving them much to do be sides earning their own living, and thus robbing them of time which might otherwise be used in self improvement. These are a few of the ways in which war depri' .*s the country that practices it of the power to make war. War seems to be a notable exception to the maxim that “Practice makes perfect.” War is suicidal. In the words of Gen eral Sherman, “War is hell.” Is It Growing Worse ? President McKinley said in his last message to Congress that there was then only a “small faction” of the Phil ippines opposed to American rule. Shortly before the last election the Chicago Times Herald, a republican paper, said : “Re-elect President Mc- Kinley and let the Philippines know that they are have independence, and they will lay flown their arms.” Then came the capture of Aguinaldo; and the assurances of the republican papers that the war was at last really over, are still fresh in ihe memory of all who read those papers. Now the same Chicago Times Herald publishes an interview with Gen. Chaf fee who was recently in command of the Philippine army, in w hich he says : “The whole people of the Philippines are engaged in waging war upon the United States.” Apparently, if former assurances were reliable, and if Gen. Chaffee un derstands the situation now the war in the islands instead of being ended by the republican victory in 1900, as we were assured it would be, has, on the contrary, grown in magnitute until we have now a united people lighting against us, and fighting harder and better than they did before. World's Richest Mine. The American Mining News contains tbo following about the great United Verde mine, the property of Senator Clark of Montana, which, if correct, would indicate that it is probably the richest mine and he the richest man in the world: “It has only lately cone to light that the average value of the ore taken from the United Verde is $75 per ton in all values —gold, silver and copper. This mine, so far as has been developed, in cluding explorations and diamond drilling below the present workings, shows an immense ore ohimiuey, 400 x IKK) feet across, that has been explored by shafts, tunnels and drill holes to a depth of 1,400 feet. “Just how far it will be possible to work this mine down before the heat limit is reachedds hard to say, but rea sonable estimate would be 3,000 feet. An estimate by one of the best mining engineers in this country shows that the mine to the depth of 1,400 feet con tains 366,000,000 of ore, and estimating 11 cubic feet to the ton there is practi cally 23,000,000 tous in sight. “If we carry these figures a little far ther the present values of the United Verde we have the average value ot ore equaling $2,500,000,000. The pres eut owner of the property lias refused $500,000,U00 for the mine.” A bill was passed by the last legisla ture which provided thedetachingof cer tain territory from the county of Chippe wa and creating the county of Gates. At first the new couuty was to have been called “Rusk,” but J. W. Gates of Mil waukee, promised to give SIO,OOO towards the building of a court house, if the county were given his name. Many citizens of the county opposed the name of “Gates” and commenced proceedings agaiust the forming of the new county, claiming certain irregular ities. Those favoring the new county came out victorious in the circuit court and also in the supreme court. The Business Idea in City Gov ernment. The one great gain of the year 1901 in American politics and government is the triumph of the idea that our cities must no louger be made the football of national parties. The best men every where have finally given tip the idea that there is any advantage iu having Republican or Democratic city govern ment. Thus. Republican leadership in New York this year was exerted on be half of non-partisanship, just as the best Democratic leadership in Philadelphia was exerted in the same interest. No better statement of the advantages of governing cities as business coippra tious, with campaigns fought on strictly local issues, could oe desired tint those which were made in the course of the recent campaign by men authorized to speak for the Republic ads of the city and State of New York These men had not committed themselves to this dot'trine before; but they have now done it de liberately. anti with no thought of re traction.' Practically all the reputable Democratic leaders of New York have long hc-ld that same view. Whether or not this doctrine has actually carried the day in municipal elections through out the country, it has everywhere made great gains, and the future is w ith it. In Philadelphia it lost the elec tion, to be sure, but it gained sutistan tial ground, and will make itself heard unmistakably next year in the may oralty contest. —From "The Prog -ess of the World." io the American Month ly Review of Reviews for December. Marathon county consists of forty four townships of territory, situated at the center of the area of Wiscon sin. It was a pine country, famous for its magnificent timber. It has large areas of the finest hardwoods mixed among ihe pine. It was settled, after the pine was depleted, most I v by Germans, but those who made their money out of the lumber did not ai! leave the country when .their ioggiug ceased. Milling fol lowed, using logs brought down the river. By the time milling began to slacken the country had other prospects sufficient to entice capital, and the industries secured still re main in business. Marathon has become an agricultural county of repute, though still working up its timber. It is rich in men of brain aud in capital. It has a few poli ticians, also, but it has something else ; it has men of foresight who believe in education as an invest ment. Menornonie in Dunn county has a reputation founded on the work of Senator Stout and those he has gathered about him, but in Marathon county the inspiration ap pears to be distributed. Marathon started the first training school for couutry school teachers and the state saw and followed. When its training school was well established, it started for a county agricultural school, and did its full share in getting the state to recog nize the new school. It claims the honor of being the first county to avail itself of the chance. Other counties have swiftly followed. The purpose of these county schools is to bring the facilities of education as near to the homes of the farmers as possible. It means raising the dignity of farming and creating greater profits and an increased in terest in agriculture which will re tain the better talent on the farm, making it contented there. Many a famous principality in central Europe does not contain 1,584 square miles of territory and few equal areas there have better lands. It has 43,256 inhabitants and in time with proper training in the ways of using all its natural facilities and capacities, it will easily support a population of 300,- 000. Whether it ever does or not depends on the enterprise and skill of its people. But they must build aright. In these two things, they have started right. They not only do a good thing for their own, but are advertised as an enterprising people. Now let them lead off in telephones for farmers and in good roads. Agriculture is the basis of all civilization ; out of it and on it, all the rest flourishes. The world must be fed. Begin right; make farming profitable, by all means, but pleasant, that it may hold to its service the best of the community. —Milwaukee Journal. The west side M. E. Mission will give a supper next Tuesday evening from 5:30 until 8 o’clock, in the parlor of the M. E. church, east side. Nearly everyone is awaiting for the coming of snow; the merchant in ex pectancy of an increased business, the lumberman that he may haul his logs, the farmer that he may haul some of his products to town and convert them into cash, and other people are await ing its fall for reasons peculiar to them selves. The swamps in the woods are not frozen and little can be done by the lumbermen without a copious supply of the beautiful. Only a little xvould be necessary, however, to make things hum along the country roads. The few weeks before Christmas is when the merchant reaps a harvest, but unless *he farmer has snow to haul logs, etc., to town to turn into coin, he buys little and the merchant’s trade is limited to a marked degree The proprietors of country saw mills are on the anxious seat, while the consumers of hardwood logs in Wausau are shipping by rail until snow comes.

ROYAL BAKIWO POWDER CO.. HEW YORK. A WHITE DEER. The shooting of a white deer near Eagle River this week, by a young man named Will Maher, recalls the old Indian legend which has been intei woveu in the history of the state. A white deer of course is a very unusual thing and is always treated with kind ness and consideration by Indians be cause they claim it to bo the incarnation of an Indian's soul. Many years ago, in the early Wiscon sin days, there lived a tribe of Indians near Eagle River, Wiscousin, who had been ill treated by the whites of a near by settlement, and they had determined upon a course of vcngence. The Indians decided to raid the white set tlement by night and butcher the entire community, men women and children. One of the Indians who knew the attrocious plans of his red brothers left camp and started for the white settle ment to warn the inhabitants of im pending danger. Being taken for a warrior bent on mischief, he was shot by the whites just before he would have entered the settlement and from his body the Indians say that a white deer came. Ever since that period, the Indians have all respected the white deer as the incarnation of an Indian's soul and will not kill a white deer or permit anyone else to. —Rhinelander Herald. NOTICE.

Asher Boyles, son of C. M. Boyles will hereafter act as one of the teachers at the Wausau Business college. Since his father’s illness with typhoid fever he has becu principal of the school, aud he has now decided to resign his posi tion at Nekoosa with tlie Kellogg Bros. Lumber Cos. and move to Wausau. He will be of great assistance to his father, for he has had a great deal of exper ience in school work. Joe Sommers, a boy of fourteen years, arrested in Clark county last week for stealing a bicycle from Theodore Del nodar at the office of the Wausau Quartz Cos., on October 23d, was up befoie Judge Miller Saturday morning. As he admitted taking the wheel there was but one course for the judge to pursue, aud that was to place him where he may grow to mauliood free from evil associations. He was com mitted to the industrial school at Wau kesha until he becomes of age. A dispatch to the Milwaukee Free Press from Antigo, says that dur ing an altercation, which occurred in James McHall’s saloon on Sunday af ternoon, Frank O’Brien, a freight con ductor running between Antigo and Ashland was shot and fatally wounded by Phil. liyau, a well known lumber man of Summit Lake. The dispute was over a freight car which Ryan declared should have been left at Summit Lake. Ryan was under the influence of liquor. O'Brein died at 8:30 the same evening. Chief Justice Fuller has handed down a finding in the celebrated “fourteen diamond rings case” which reverses the decision of the United States dis trict court. The defendant in this action was Emil J. Pepke, formerly a Wausau bov. He weut to the Philip pines as a soldier and returning home in 189!) brought with him fourteen dia mond rings on which he paid no duty af San Francisco. He visited here at Wausau for a time and then went to Chicago, where a customs house officer seized tie rings. In the district court for Northern Illinois a decision was rendered against IVpke, when he took an appeal to the supreme court. A banquet was served last evening in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C.

It had been planned that there was to he some speaking done but for some reason that part of the progam was cut out. The Get One club was organized in October and since that time ils members have secured 94 new recruits to the as •soi-iation,- a very creditable showing. Last evening there was presented in this city for the first time Sutton, Vane’s four-act melodrama entitled “The Span of Life.” It is a play of considerable merit and the company presenting it was up to the average. Tne play covers a period of nineteen years and takes one over a great portion of the globe. While it presents many sad scenes, in cident to the drama, yet there is enough humor at times to carry life with its presentation. Wra. Clifton, as Nutty Brown, and Miss Esma Cornwell, as Schrove Tuesday, were exceptionally good as fun-makers with their English cockney accent. Good scenery was notable and one of the pleasing feat ures of the play was the span of life or the living bridge, which act was done by the Donazetta Bros, who are acro bats worthy of mention. A large crowd was present. Tomorrow Hugo Peters and Charles Cramer, trustees of the county insane asylum, together with the superintend ent and matron, Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

A number of years ago Mr. Withee was presented with two fine hounds, and, wishing to try their training and their grit, he took them out to do a lit tle bear hunting. The first morning Withee let the dogs out for a run while he was getting the breakfast, expecting them to be back In a short time. When breakfast was over, the dogs had not returned, so, taking his gun, Mr. Withee started out In the direction they had taken. After traveling about a mile the faint bark ing of dogs could be heard, and It was then plain why the dogs had not re turned. They had scented game and were in pursuit. The sound of the barking led him far up the side of a inountuiu, and soon he came in sight of the dogs standing around the upturned roots of a tree. Mr. Withee crept up cautiously until within about 15 feet of a cave that was near by, and then a black, shaggy head could be seen just above the roots. Taking good aim, he fired his .44 cali ber and awaited results. After several minutes he went up to the cave, and what he saw there gave him a shock from which he has never recovered. Two bears lay dead, and two more were So stunned that a few quick pass es with a knife settled them. For the four bears Mr. Withee re ceived S2O bounty, $27.50 for their hides and $42 for the bear oil, making $80.50 for one day’s hunt.—Maine Woods. All For Love. It was a runaway match. The young couple had nothing to live on but love, and they grew thin on it, for the butch er, baker, etc., heartlessly refused to barter auy of the necessaries of life for a bit of love, and the landlady wouldn’t accept even a large slice of It for rent. At last they w T ere reduced to such ex tremities that starvation stared them In the face. When starvation does this, It, so to say, “puts you out of countenance.” “Oh, George,” walled the 3*oung wife, “what shall we do? j am so hungry!” “Alas. I know not, cfarllng!” he sigh ed fondly but sadly, toying with her luxuriant tresses. “But I know, George!” she suddenly exclaimed after a pause. “Sell my hair!” “What!” he almost shouted, with a horror stricken face. “Sacrifice your lovely golden locks! Ruthlessly cut off the greatest ornament a woman can possess? Never! Never! I will starve first!” “But, George,” she assured him, “It does not require cutting off. See!” And she detached the glistening 3 guinea switch from her head and laid It in his hand. That night the young couple supped luxuriously, but still he was not happy. —Pearson’s Weekly. Lighting I'p the Coliseum. The Romans have the hideous habit of periodically lighting the Coliseum during the tourist season with Bengal lights and, what is more amazing still, usually succeed in making a financial success of It, although no one was ever known to go twice. There is the additional abomination In these days of a big brass band and a chorus of 100 voices in an invocation to the Flavian amphitheater. The ef fect is tremendous, hut somewhat stun ning to ihose who are accustomed to their Coliseum empty and flooded with peaceful moonlight, where pic tures from tlie past rise with the clear ness of second sight, and no sound is heard but one's own breathing or the Bong of the nightingale. Contrast with such a scene the red,- blue and yellow Bengal lights, the smoke, the confu sion, the hundred shrieking throats and the clang of the brazen instru ments!
