These with the mem bers of the school made a good audience. The musical numbers, vocal and in strumental, were well rendered, the class song composed and set to music by Miss Maud Iloleton was especially pleasing. The song '‘Wisconsin,” and the play, “Simpson’s Hired Man,’’ were enthusiastically applauded. Corel Welland’s rhymes given as a toast at the banquet, relating experiences and impressions of his first school, and Sam Welland’s verses on the training school were in light and pleasing vein provok ing much merriment. The efficiency of our toastmaster, Zara Schooley, ’O2, did honor to the occasion. The exercises showed that we have a mind of undeveloped talent which needs exploiting. There should be more spontaneity, more independ ence and freedom in the exercise of individual talent. There is no good reason why we should not have a vol ume of school class and society songs, poems, plays, stories and histories, writ ten by the alumni. Let each one write in his own vein and send it to be read in the literary society and published in the training school notes. C. &N.W.

On Monday, December 23d, 1907, the First National bank, of this city, at tained the 25th year of its existence as a national bank. It was the intention of its officers to in some fftting way cele brate this event, but the rush of the holiday season prevented. The First National bank secured its charter in 1882. In the year 1865, Messrs. D. L. Plumer, Geo. Silverthorn and W. C. Silverthorn, established a real estate and banking business. This bank was first opened on Jackson street and later moved to the Music Hall block, on the corner where the I-i” J j*c-iton block now stands, and in 1875 a banking building was erected on THE NEW YEAR. One week from tomorrow will be New Year’s day, January Ist, 1908 There will be much going on on that day and the previous evening, to make the occasion full of interest and a de light to all. * * * The Pilot understands that many will keep open house during the after noon of New Year’s day. The various programs have not been arranged up to this time, else the Pilot would give the same to the public, but ; it will be able to do so next Tuesday. * * * On New Year’s eve the bachelors give their reception and dancing party at the club bouse. This will be one of the great social events of the holiday sea son in Wausau. * * * The reception and dancing party given by Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Between these contests there will be a pillow fight between members of the Junior class. Novelty racing, a regular class drill, free hand calisthenics and a maze run will make up the balance of the morning’s program. The feature of the afternoon will be a basket ball game between the Y. M. C. A. and Wausau freshmen attending the University of Wisconsin. The Inter mediate seconds and Junior B’s will open at 2:00 with a base ball game.

Two very handsome calendars have been issued the past week. That issued by the National German American bank is large, 26x40 inches. It has a very handsome picture above the calen dar and the calendar itself is so large that the figures can easily be seen thirty or forty feet away. The First National bank has also gotu.!’ out one 25x28, which is in three sections. The front section contains pictures of all the presi dents of the United States. A picture showing the signing of the declaration of Independence; the Declaration printed in full and a handsome cal ender. The second section is a map of Wisconsin and oi the reverse side is an alphabetical list of the towns and cities of Wisconsin and population. The third section is a map of the United States and a history of the Panama canal. On the reverse side is much valuable information in reference to postal laws, etc. Both banks were besieged yesterday and today for copies of these calendars, and many were given oat. BOWLING. There was a bowling contest at the Wausan club house, on Saturday even ing, between Brokaw and Wausau bowlers. It was a spirited game bat the former were again the winners.

It remained there until its present splendid banking house was erected in 1890, at a cost of $65,000. As previously stated, it was organized as a national bank in 1882 and capital ized at $50,000, which was soon in creased to SIOO,OOO. It now has a capi tal stock of $200,000 and a surplus of $75,000, and deposits of over $1,000,000. The institution is to be congratulated on its 25th birthday. M. E. DEACONESS. MISS SARA A. WOOD.

She will be here to attend the watch night services of the First Methodist Episco pal church on New Year’s eve. SUING FOR DAMAGES. Frank Knetter has commenced an action against KasimerLemaDskitocol lect SI,OOO damages for libel. Both are Poles residing in the town of Cassel. For ome time, it appears, there has been two o pposing factions in the Polish Catholic church in that town. On the night of June 16, last, someone set fire to the church and it was badly damaged before the llames were subdued. Eight days later, Knetter and Lemanski met at the saloon of Mike Bloczinski in Edgar and got into a quarrel. When the words which passed between them were of a sizzling character, Lemanski is alleged to have made the remark, in the presence of four witnesses: “Ty jestis ten chlop co ten kosciol zapalil.” It is this statement on which SI,OOO hinges. The reader perhaps does not know its meaning and for his benefit we will give the correct translation, which is as follows: “You are the man who set fire to that church.” Because the defendant sought to injure him as he believes, and cause it to appear that he was guilty of arson, Knetter has brought suit and the case will come up at the next term of court, unless a set tlement is effected in the meantime, but those familiar with the parties say that there can be no settlement, for both are determined to fight to the end.

Co-Operation of City Business Men and Farmers Proving of Great Value—Results of the First Important Practical Test. History will record the fact that the first successful instance of farmers and city business men working together for their mutual benefit was inaugurated in the rooms of the Business Men’s association of Battle Creek, Mich., early in the year li*o6. It is now nearly two years since the plan was put into working order, and it has even exceed ed the fondest expectations of those interested in the consolidation. The Business Men’s association has elegant club rooms located on the fifth floor of the finest block in the city. These rooms are open to the farmers at all times, where they may confer with one another or with the officers of the association. There are several rooms, occupying the entire floor of the large block, all finished and furnished at a cost of several thousand dollars. There are scores of easy chairs, sofas, couches, etc., and tables where the farmers may read aDd write, and sometimes whole families bring their lunches into these rooms to eat while waiting and resting. In fact, these rooms have been made famous all over the country because of their being the starting place of a “con solidation” wherein the farmers are greatly interested. It would please the readers of The Tribune Farmer to tep into these rooms and watch some ol'our farmers and the city merchants con ferring together over the raising o* money to improve a bad piece of road. This road might be several miles from the city limits, and yet its improvement would facilitate the bringing of farm produce into town, no matter how bad the weather conditions. There is a long road south of the city that makes the worst up-and-down-hill five-mile drive I have seen in a long time. <!t runs south and east on a right angle, haviDg three and two miles each way, respectively. A railroad runs across, forming the hypothenuse of the triangle. The land along the railroad is some what level over a large portion of the distance, and the farmers conceived the idea of building anew highway along the railroad for about one and three- j quarter miles, thus cutting off eight or nine very long and bad hills of sand over the old road. The farmers went to the officers of the city association and the merchants and manufacturers willingly agreed to help build the new road. A survey was made and the work started, and it is the first new road ever constructed in Michigan for such a purpose, and by the city men and farmers working together. A bad bill was being cat down to till in a swampy place alongside the rail road. It looked like a tedious aDd costly job at first, and some of the farmers were discouraged. But the city men kept up th ir cor rage and continued to subscribe to the fund. ADd so the work went on.—Tribrnt Farmer. newcoo’k book. .Tie Ladies’ Aid society ->f the First Presbyterian church of this city has just issued another edition of its cook book.

Edward Ratigan, a notorious burg lar, was killed Saturday last in Spo kaue, Wash., by a dynamite explosion. His death recalls a revolver fight which took place south of this city in 1899. Ratigan was one of the four burglars who blew open the vault of the Amherst bank, March 10, 1899, and was caught next day in the woods south of this city, by a party out after the reward offered for the capture of the four. Previous to his capture he and one of his part ners gave Thos. Malone, who was then sheriff", and a number of deputies, a tussle in the woods. A pitched battle was fought in whioh revolvers were used. Ratigan did most of the shoot iug, using a .44 calibre Colt’s revolver. During the light, one of the burglars was seen to luDge forward, as if hit by a bullet, but later it was ascertained that this was only a ruse by which he was able to thrust a government bond under a log, unnoticed by any of the sheriff's party. The bond was found a year later by Henry Meuret, who re turned it to the bank and received a re* ward. The two robbers at that time succeeded in getting away from the sheriffs party, but towards evening they became exhausted from running through deep snow all day, and fell into the hands of a party armed with Winchester rifles and surrendered. Little money was found on them, but each carried a small sized arsenal. Two of the party were caught earlier in the dAy in the Adams House, when coming out from dinner. These, too, were heavily armed. Although they got nearly SBOO out of the Amherst bank the Dight before, very little money was found on either one of the four, and where they disposed of it has always remained a mystery. It is supposed that the bulk of it is hidden in the woods somewhere south of Wausau. Shortly after being convicted in Stev ens Point and sent to prisoD, Ratigan made his escape and was not recap tured until a year later, when he was arrested for burglarizing a post office in Illinois. He was a big, burley fel low and a desperate character who would not hesitate a moment in takiDg For Christmas and the Whole Year Round A fine line ol Violins, Guitars, Mandolins, and the entire list of Edison s Records in stock 314 > //" y^t-Go Scott St. a man’s life. Reports do not give the exact manner of his death, except to state that at the time he was killed he was attempting to “sweat” nitro-glyc eriue out of dynamite, probably with the intention of committing another crime. HANDLER PARDONED. Gov. Jas. A. Davidson on Saturday signed a pardon for Geo. Handler con fined in the state prison and he is now a free man. Most of our readers will remember the crime for which Handler was serving sentence. On the morn ing of Jan. 1, 1890, he entered the saloon of Dave Sarvis, a former Wausau resi dent in Merrill, and picking a quarrel with Sarvis he pulled a revolver and shot and killed him. Going out on the street he met a policeman of the name of Truax, who attempted to arrest him, and he shot and dangerously wounded the policeman. The police force had emptied their revolvers a short time previously in celebrating the birth of the new year and consequently some difficulty was experienced in capturing Handler. W’hen caught, the quickest piece of justice ever executed in North ern Wisconsin resulted. Next day he waived examination, asked for permis sion to plead guilty received a life sen tence and was on his way to prison all within twenty-four hours after the com mission of the crime. Judge Webb, who sentenced him, was among the signers of the petition for his pardon. Sarvis, when he lived hero, had many friends who were pained to learn of his death. He at one time pitched for the Wausau base ball team and was what the sporting element termed a “good fellow." Handler was a professional gambler whose traits of character made him what a southerner would term a “no account" man. He has served eighteen years in prison, and is now in middle age, the be?t. part of his life having passed. His home is in Neenah and it was people of that city who were instru mental in getting him pardoned. Fok Sale—l offer my residence and lot, 626 Fulton street, for sale at a bar gain. E. S.
