The case of Ernst Kun/.e vs. Carl Schmoekel in circuit court ended Saturday afternoon. This case was brought by the plaintiff for the recov ery of a strip of land in possession of the defendant for alxwt thirty years. The jury brought in a verdict for the defendant. The law is very plain in this instance. If any one occupies a piece of land for twenty years with out any title to it whatsoever he is the ow ner of the land. A resident of Brokaw, a local ad vance agent for the "Menace,” an anti-religious sheet, drew a large crowd at Elks' hall last Tuesday evening. His main object seems to have been to excite hatred of a cer tain religion and to organize a society of tlie "Guardians of Liberty” in this city of comparative unity and friend ship. Newspaper reporters were ex cluded from the meeting but they protested and temained. A private meeting is to he held later. The case of the city of Wausau vs. the Sigerstroui Piano company, long pending for many months in Munici pal court, lias been recently settled, the city paying the cost and damages, amounting to SBB. The city had sued tlie itenerant company for $25 daily, for selling its wares in this city.

Last Wednesdgy afternoon, Clara Bett, aged 15 years, left the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs, Frank Bett, who reside on a farm near Norrie, \\ is., to deliver some butter to a store in the tow n named. A man by the name of Thomas Westley, wiio said he lived in Antigo, was at the farm house looking after a girl, so he said, to do the domestic work of his home. He thought Clara would till the bill and as she started off to do the errand lie followed her, and that was the last seen of her until Thursday even ing at Birnamwood. When the gilr did not return to her home a search was made for her; the butter was found behind a stump, where it had been placed, but ttie giYl had disap peared and foul play was suspected. Officials were notified here and Thurs day afternoon, Undersheritf Charles Goerling and assistant district at torney A. W. Prehn, went down to in vestigate and located the girl and man at Birnamwood, whither they had walked. The man's home is in Green Bay where he has a wile. It was ascertained from the sheriff at Green Bay that he was a bad charac ter, and that a letter would be writ ten later. It was aso learned that he had been with the girl before, who is mentally weak, that lie had succeed ed in getting her away from home by a promise of marriage and by making her believe he was possessed of wealth, when in fact he did not have enough to pay for a ticket to Birnam wood or to buy a meal of victuals, so the girl, at least, had nothing to eat from ttie time she left home until arrested. The girl was left at her home near Norrie, and later, her fatiier came to Wausau and said sne was incorrigible and should be placed in a reform school. The man who tfives his name as Thomas Westley was brought before Justice R. N. Larner, he waived pre liminary examination and was held for trial at the circuit court under bonds of $3,000, which bonds he, of course, could not furnish, and was taken to jail. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Every store in this city is coming in for its full share of the big rush or in other words, the Christmas shopping. One can hardly take a walk down Third or any one of the principal streets of our city without seeing several people standing at every window, mostly women, ex aming by sharp glances the goods on exhibition and then one by one they tile into the stores to secure the de sired gifts which are taken to the home and there in a dresser drawer await ttie merry Christmas morning when tlie gift is handed out to some loved one. By next Thursday, from present day appearances, the store-keepers will be obliged to order new 7 shipments with which to till up the holes made by the holiday sales. The per fect weather up to date lias per haps been one important factor as many farmers have come good dis tances to spend Die day in “Wausau” and there to make ready for the big day. WARMER WINTERS. Warm summerlike winters that w ill soon transform the great northwest into a southern paradise will be the common occurrence from now on ac cording to Weather Observer Cowdrick of ttie government station at Hough ton, Michigan. The observer bases his deduction on the fact, now gene rally conceded, that the Japan cur rent which for ages has given Alaska and the Canadian northwest a temper ate climate, lias been diverted by volcanic disturbances in the ocean bed off the Aleutain islands. He says that the high barometer area to which can he traced weather con ditions in this latitude has been found in the latitude of Puget sound, and this would indicate warmer weather in this latitude. DEATH OF E. E. LA DU. On Friday, Dec. 19th, 1913, E. L. La I)u died at bis home in Mosiuee from complications due to advanced age. He was 80 years of age, having been born Feb. 15, 1833. in Verona, Oneida county, N. Y. He came to Mosinee in 1860, being then engaged in the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was ordained at Beaver Dam. He had to give up preaching on account of failing health, but during 1866-68 he preached at Mosinee, Wausau, Jennie, Knowl ton and Eau Pleine. He followed the business of saw tiler for many years. His home has been in Mosinee, prac tically, since 1866. He was an able writer and speaker and occasionally during these years has given a time to preaching. In 1907, he wrote a book on ‘‘Early and Late Mosinee.” He was united in marriage to Sarah J. Ayres, at Richmond, Pa., in 1852, and to them were born five children, of whom two survive, Willis E. of Mosinee, and Chas. E. of Sand Point, Idaho. Funeral was held from the home in Mosinee on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Scott officiating. CORRECTING ABUSES. It has been a common practice in our city for non-subscribers of the Wausau telephone to go about and make use of whatever telephone was nearest of access. In many stores, telephones have been placed near doors, and in residences there is no doubt some of the phones are paid for by the help, perhaps of several families. At a recent meeting of the directors of the Wausau Telephone Cos., the following rule was adopted, which lias been approved of by 'the State Railroad Commission : "All subscribers who allow the use of their telephones by persons not en titled to use the same, shall collect the non-subscribers toll charge from such persons. If any subscriber neglects or refuses to collect such a non-subscriber charge the Company shall have the privilege of installing a pay telephone in that subscriber’s premises.” This is to be enforced to the letter by tlie company. SUSPENDED OPERATIONS. The Fnited States Lalioratory, the Forest Service station, located in this city and used for experimental work in grinding native timber for paper making, has served its purpose here with good results and the machinery is to be moved to Madison. The building in which it was housed was erected and rented to the concern by the Street Railroad Cos., and is a large, well constructed brick and stone building, comparatively fire proof and would lie a splendid build ing for the permanent establishment of some new enterprise in this city. The Advancement Association doubt less will take up this matter and push the project. George McNaughton, who has had charge of this establishment for some time, and his assistants, S. E. Lunak and C. K. Textor, go to Madison to enter the station there and to leave for there the first of the coming year, winding up the business here.by that time and shipping the machinery, office fixtures, records, etc., to Madi son by that time. Mrs. Albert Schmidt, who wasoper ated upon at St. Mary's hospital, was brought home Saturday and is getting along nicely. WAUSAU PILOT. SOCIETY ITEMS Social Gatherings of the Past Week In Wausau *nd Vicinity For Pilot Readers. There has been a dearth of social events during the past week, owing to Christmas preparations. The home-life is never more apparent than at this time. The planning of gifts, the secret conclaves at the fam ily fireside, the surprises in store for loved ones and the joys of anticipa tion, blot out everything but the inti mate home-ties and there is no time or desire for social duties. Soon the Christmas bells will ring in family reunions. The children at school are home for the holiday feast, and at many tables three and four genera tions will banquet together, and joy will reigh supreme, for love of kin brings joy whether the home be palace or cottage. And when the Christmas bells are ringing their sweetest tones and the whole land is filled with chime and carol, let us not forget to give thanks for our home-life and for the loved ones who are gathered round us, and as the gentle text of “Peace on earth good will to men” comes to us once more let us resolve not to “pack our Christmas spirit away in moth balls,” for another year, hut to keep the peace, joy, and good-will in our hearts, so that in our lives and homes, it will he “al ways Christmas.” Mr. and Mrs. Otto Mueller were surprised at Llederkranz hall Friday evening, the occasion being the 38th birthday anniversary of Mr. Mueller. 30 couples of relatives and friends were present. A supper had been prepared to which all did full justice. This was followed by vocal and in strumental music, responses to toasts, etc. Mr. Mueller was presented with a large, handsome leather rocking chair and lie received it with words of thanks and appreciation. Dancing was then indulged in until midnight, when all departed for their homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Mueller every thing good for tiie future of which one could think. r —t-H Circle No. one of the Universalist Aid society held a Chrstmas sale in the "church parlors on Thursday after noon and evening. There was a pretty display of fancy work both useful and ornamental and also a delicatessen counter where cakes, pies and douglyiuts were sold. The ladies served light refreshments throughout the afternoon and even ing. The sale was well patronized and the ladies of tiie circle consider it a successful afternoon. The sum realized w as one hundred dollars. The Wausau Club will give its an nual ball on Wednesday evening, December thirty-first. This event is always almost pleasing feature of the holiday festivities and this year P’omlses to be no exception, as the ommittees appointed for the manage ment of the affair are working to make the party an unbounded suc cess. Tiie postofllce has been one of the extreme places of business during the past week and will be more so during and up to the close of the present, mostly on account of the parcels post system, which seems a great success and of much detriment to the Express companies. The Miss Ruth Alexander and Judd Alexander will entertain a number of their friends next Friday evening, December 26, at an informal dance at Rothschild pavilion. Jeanne De Lamarter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eric De Lamarter of Chicago, will celebrate her sixth birthday next Monday with a party at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
