Several others have applied for the position, among them the man who managed the Winnipeg team in tho Northern league the past two sea sons. At present it appears that there is a hitch regarding the engagement of “Pink” Hawley to manage the Oshkosh team. La Crosse has a claim on him and if Oshkosh gets him its people must dig into their pockets and pay La Crosse’s price. Racine may be in W.-I. league next season. If reports are true that city has as good a chance as any of securing the Freeport franchise and players which are for sale. In support of admitting Racine it is urged that that city has an estimated population of 118,000 people with a territory contain ing 80,000 more to draw from. "Freeport's financial report for the past year shows that the club finished very baa.

Later in the day they will depart for Chicago and points in Southern Michigan and will stop in Oshkosh on the way back, for a visit with relatives of Mr. Largay. They will be gone altogether about three weeks. The young man is a draughtsman employed in the office of the D. J. Murray Mfg Cos. He has been a resi dent of the city for a great many years, makiug his home with his uncle and aunt. Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Dickens. He is a young man of sterling qualities, industry and capability. The young lady of his choice is the youngest daughter of Edward Fitzgerald, an old and highly respected citizen of Wausau She has lived here all her life, and her friends can -bespeak for her a disposi tion which brings sunshine into the presence of her friends. The acquaint ances o£ both wish for them a long life of happiness. THANKSGIVING DAY. Thursday of this week will be ob served all over the great nation as Thanksgiving day. The day is one on which, as its name indicates, one should sit down and take an inventory of his life during the preceding year. He may have had his ups and downs— we all do—but no matter how much trouble has been his lot he will find somewhere in the pathway he has trav eled something to be appreciative of. Thanksgiving is purely an American holiday. It is perhaps mere nearly a national holiday than any day in the year, Fourth of July excepted. It is observed by every state in the union. I he governor of every state and terri tory issues annual proclamations, pre ceded by that of the president of the United States. It is not a day for spec tacular sights, parades or fervid ora tory, but a home day, a day of family re-union3, though the people of the present time inject into its observance many social features. One of the com mon practices of Americans at this time is to declare war on the turkey and this bird, with all its accessories, is brought out to the waiting company steaming hot and then the dispeptic’s troubles begin. Some people can’t afford turkeys. To this class belong editors, oil magnates and poor people. The latter tied solace in the fact that sausage or smoked herring are cheaper and they can satisfy their gormandizing nature on either of these at low cost. By tne way, we wish to inform our readers that in conversation with a Wausau meat market proprietor last Thursday we gained the information that the 1908 crop of turkeys is very large and that there will be quite a drop in the local market from the selling prices of otner years. For several years this bird has ranged froni 20c to 23c per pound, but our informant states that this week turkeys may be sold at 18c or perhaps a little lower This on a ten pounder, such as we have often in our dreams pictured as being in our ice box, makes some difference. The young generation has planned a number of social gatherings, dances, etc. A number of families have issued invita tions to relatives out of town to reunite with them Thursday and there will be many house parties. The poor, as in other years, will be taken care of. A fund has been raised and turned over to the poor superin tendent who will purchase meats, fruits, etc., and distribute them among the city’s cheerless who have failed in life struggle. Less than 50 families of about 200 persons require such charity. Anyone desiring to contribute to this fund can do so by calling upon H. G. Flieth at the National German Ameri can bank or upon E. B. Thayer at the Pilot office. A logical deduction is that the more money which the super intendent of poor has to work upon, the larger will be the basket delivered to each family. There are a number of Wausau gentlemen who contribute annually to this fund. Enroll your name among theirs by adding your mite. ANNOUNCEMENT. Drs. E. H. Spiegelberg and W. E.

At a conference of laud owners held in Eau Claire last week to devise means of protecting timber against fire, State Forester Griffith outlined a plan for dividing Northern Wisconsin into three districts, each with a head inspec tor and one assistant. The plan also in cludes a patrol for each township and a small tax to raise for a protection fund. Franklin H. Smith of the United States forest service gave facts as to govern ment methods, A committee, consisting of James T. Barber of Eau Claire, W. H. Bundy of Rice Lake, G. D. Jones of Wausau, Guy Nash of Shanagolden ana George Foster of Mellen, was appointed to dra w up suggestions for legislation ana amendments to existing laws and to report at a meeting to M held in Eau Claire before Dec. 1.

Besides houses built daring the summer a number of others are' nearing completion. What was only a short time ago an open, houseless stretch between this city and the vil lage of Schofield is now no longer in evidence. There is not a forty acre tract between the two points now on ■vhich there are one or more buildings. So anxious are the owners to get into their new homes that one, in taking a stroll down that way on a Sunday, is reminded of the activities of a week day, for the sound of the hammer can be heard in many places. What will be a very imposing structure in that sec tion when completed is the plant of the Wilsou-Hurd Mfg. Cos. This will be quite an institution with a large area of floor space. It is being built of con crete blocks and situated off to the southwest as you pass the cemetery going to Schofield. Another noticeable feature in that section is that all those who own any quantity of land have the same staked off for bnilding lots. Some purchases of the poplar thicket lands west of the Schofield road Lave recently been made. The owners are clearing off the brush and when the time is ripe these lands will be platted. A few years ago the same land was considered valueless except as a hunting ground for jack rabbits. They will in a short time bring the owners a large revenue of return on their investment. The whole terri tory lying between the avenue and the asylum farm is very level and adapted to building purposes. We predict that the day is not far distant when that section will be all built up and as hand some as any other portion of onr city. WHY SUFFER? Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Coath some Catarrh Germs. Just as long as you have catarrh your nose will itch, your breath will be foul, you will hawk and spit, and you will do other disgusting things because you can’t help yourself. The germs of ca tarrh have got you iu their power; they are continually and persistently dig ging into and irritating the mucuous membrane of your nose and throat. They are now making your life miser able; in time they will sap your entire system of its energy, its strength, its v pye and vitality. But there is one remedy that will kill the germs and cure catarrh, and that is Hyomei, the Australian dry air treat ment. W. W. Albers, the druggist, will guar antee Hyomei to cure catarrh or money back. Don’t delay this pleasant antiseptic treatment. Breathe in Hyo mei and kill the germs. W. W. Albers will sell you a complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler, for only $1 00. It is also guaranteed to cure bronchitis, asthma, coughs, colds, hay fever and croup. OPENING OF RESERVATION. The announcement that Congress, just prior to adjournment, passed an act authorizing the opening to settle ment of the western portion of Stand ing Rock Indian reservation, in South Dakota, is particularly interesting iu connection with the Pacific coast exten sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. The new liue cuts through this territory, and trains sre already being operated regularly to % point considerably beyond Lemmon, which is on the west edge of the Stand ing Rock reservation. The govern ment has already established a land office at Lemmon, and the allotment of these lands will undoubtedly be made from that point. It is thought the for mal opening will occur in the spring of 1909. There are about 7,000 quarter sections in Standing Rock reservation which will be allotted io settlers. The soil is said to be well adapted to gener al farming and to be fully equal in qual ity to that just east of this property which now sells for $25 to S3O per acre There are also said to be valuable de posits of lignite eoa.l ic various portions of the reservation.—Chicago Evening American, June 20, i9OB. A Methodist Tdinister Recommends Chamberlain's Colic, Choleaaand Diarrhoea Remedy. “I have used Chamberlain’s Colic, Cho.era and Diarrhoea Remedy for several years for diarrhoea.

At the adjourned meeting of the city council field Wednesday evening the C. & N. W. Ry. Cos. v/as granted a permit to build a spur track along and crossing West street tp the Wausau Iron Works plant. In view of the fact that We. Slossen, day engineer at the pumping station has been ill, it was decided to make some changes at the pumping station. Heretofore two engineers have done all of the work, each working twelve hours per day. A resolution was introduced, which met the approval of the council, providing for the employment of three engineers, each to work eight hours per day. Morris Stuth presented a claim for damages and the same was allowed. He asked for SIOO and the wages he lost while laid up with an injury sustained as a result of someone’s carelessness for which the city is responsible. ANSWERSTHE CALL ‘ 01! Golden” that mighty denizen of the wild who has made his home in the woods in the vicinity of Cedar creek and Mosinee bill has at last gone to the happy hunting ground of deerdom via the venison route. After baffling the plans of the best hunters in this part of the country for many seasons he finally went over the divide to the tune of a load of No. 2 buckshot. “Old Golden” attained prominence in these parts some eight years ago through his immense size and the pecul iar color of his coat from which came his nickname. Hundreds of times he has been the target for as many rifles and scores of hunters have camped per sistently on his trail which was readily distinguished on account of one of his hoofs being crippled. Whether he had thrown caution to the winds and trust ed to luck is pretty hard to say. Any way his day came, the same as every one else’s, only in this case a sixteen year old boy and a twelve bore shot gun played the Gabriel’s horn stunt. He was perhaps the largest specimen of the deer family ever killed in these parts and weighed 317 pounds. His antlers had a spread between the points wide enough to allow a large man to sit down with ease.—Mosinee Times. How’s This ?

It is exactly 2io years ago since the sparkling creaming wine was invented by Dom Perignon, the monk who then had charge of the cellar of the Benedic tine Abbey at Hautvilliers on the Marne. By ‘marrying” or blending the wine from different vineyards he discovered that there resulted an ef fervescing wine which burst from the bottle and fizzed in the glass. It came Into England early in the seventeenth century, and was so esteemed as to be drunk from such small glasses that a noble lord complained that he was not in the habit of drinking wine out of thermometers. —London Chronicle. A Sea Change. '"Don't talk to me about English men." said the pretty actress, who had just got home ‘‘One evening in Lon don. when I was out with a party of friends I happened to say. ‘Look at that rubber neck over there,’ referring •o a chap who evidently was taking us in. An Englishman iu the party laughed uproariously at the expres sion, much to my surprise. It is such a common one with us. “Last night I met him here in New York. 1 was at a cafe with some friends. He came across and said to me: ' it always has amused me, don’t you know, that expression of yours in London in regard to the chap with the elastic throat. I have never forgotten it.’" Uninspiring Plays. What the theater should do for the playgoer is to provide him not with an absence of thought, but with a change of thought. The tragedy of the present-day London stage lies In the fact that so many entertainments pro duced on it, instead of offering a change of thought, probably have the effect of driving the spectator back upon his own personal cares and con cerns.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Physicians report that there are a number of cases of mumps in the city at present. It is thought the mild weather has had something to do with produc ing this disease, scarlet fever diphtheria and several other diseases prevalent to some extent.

F. Golden, Agent. The thermometer of the local weather bureau registered 55 above zero or just 20 degrees below summer heat yes terday, November 23, 1908. The weather this fall has been remarkable. Such temperature near the latter part of November is not often experienced in this northern olime. It shortens up the winter greatly and helps one on his fuel bill. If tho mill men had known this weather was to continue they could have operated their plants a little longer. The following have been placed in nomination and therefore are as good as elected as officers of Cutler Post No. 55. For commander, Leander Swope; senior vjce-commander, Casper Fen haus; jnnior vice-commander, Jos Heinemann; quartermaster, Osswald Plisch; chaplain, S S. Armstrong; officer of the day, J. P. Young; officer of the guard, Gottlieb Behling; surgeoD, A. T. Koch; trustee, Jos. Susor. They will be elected p.t the meeting to be held Dec. 11. The Ladies’ Aid society and Epworth league of the M. E church gave a musical and literary entertainment in the church Friday evening. It was given for the benefit of the Lake Bluff (111.) deaconess’ orphanage. The price of admission was any article of clothing or other thing suitable for the needs of the children cared for at this institution. Most of those attending paid their way with newly made articles and the lot will shortly be crated and shipped to the orphanage. The two societies served refreshments. F. B. Lamoreaux, an Ashland at torney, against whom had been pre ferred charges of improfessional con duct, was acquitted last week. He was tried before Judge Belden of Racine, who held that everything Lamortaux was accused of was perfectly right. His accusers went back to the Harroun murder trial in Portage county. Shortly after this trial Lamoreaux was driven out of that circuit by Judge Webb who found that Lamoreaux had manu factured evidence. Lamoreaux is quite well known in this city. He defended Mrs. Mary Mohr when she was tried ic circuit court here for defrauding R. H.. Brown of Unity, and he was Caroline Ohls’ attorney when she was accused of causing the death of a young woman through a criminal operation. WiscomMey Trust Cos.
