SUICIDE AT MISHICOTT.

On Monday morning the people of
Mishicott were shocked to learn that a
prominent citizen of that village had
committed suicide the previous night.
E. A. SEEK, a merchant in comfortable
circumstances, and about GO years of age,
was the person who put a violent end to
his own life. Mr.. SEEK has for long
time been subject to epileptic fits, and
these occurred SO frequently, about once.
a day, that his mind became impaired.
Still nobody suspected that this infirmity
made life a burden which he would will
ingly cast of, and he had the sympathy
of friends solely on account of the wan
ing of his mental powers and not because
it was feared any tragic result would en-
sue.
On Sunday afternoon he asked a friend
OF his, Mr.. Koehnke, for revolver, stat
ing that he wished to Kill himself, but
his manner at the time did not lead to
the belief that he contemplated suicide,
and but for the result that followed the
circumstance would not be recalled. He
reached home that night at pretty late
hour, and unheard by his family went to
his room got double barreled shot gun,
loaded it with buck shot and went into
the store, which adjoins his dwelling
No report was heard, and his friends
were not made aware Of the desperat e
deed until the following morning, when
on entering the store his son found the
old man with his brains literally blown
out. No one can tell at what hour nor
precisely how the deed was committed.
From the appearance of the wound it is
certain that be placed the muzzle of the
gun il his mouth and discharged both
barrels. The charge passed through his
head, scattering his brains. and blowing
off one Of his ears and then passed
through the ceiling. The wound was a
terrible one and death must have ensued
instantly.
An inquest was held on Monday before
justice Braasch. In his testimony DR..
Dawley stated that Mr. SEEK was not of
sound mind since he Or. Dawley) knew
him. The verdict of the jury was given
in accordance with the facts above given.
The funeral took place on Tuesday after
noon.
Mr.. SEEK had been engaged in the mer-
camille business at Mishicott for a long
time. OF late years he conducted the
business in company with his son. He
was man of more than ordinary bus
mess capacity and was generally respect
ed for his upright conduct.

CATO.
APRIL 22nd.

APRIL End.
This village came very near having a
':rum establishment" last week, but the
convincing manner in which the financial
condition of the last man here. in the
rum line, was increased, we suppose, de-
tered the undertaking; such rapid ac-
emulation of wealth, isn't good for the
health.

Poor Rockland! may your political
existence rest in peace. Somebody may
answer: amen, with undue solemnity,
thinking there was such place and there
isn't; but how it is remains mystery.
At the late election held there, great
deal of dissatisfaction was expressed
about the way the town affairs were man
aged; the late chairman having a mania
for building iron bridges that the people
didn't appreciate; this and few other
things combined caused a resolution TO
be offered, which was put and carried on
election day, $50 give the town away, "
giving two rows of sections on the east
to Cato. two on the south to Maple
Grove; this arrangement left four sec
tons IN the central and western part of
the town to be disposed of, but the mat
ter was finally settled by somebody
suggesting. that ''that much being
swamp land might so to hell An effort
was made to reconsider the resolution,
and an explanation made, in the tongue
Of the Fatherland, but it was drowned,
with great confusion and variety OF
languages, and so the matter rests.

EXAMINATION FOR MURDER.

The examination of Wenzel Marazek
for the murder of Nenahlo, some weeks
ago, was concluded last Saturday, and
Wenzel was held for trial and remanded
to jail. No effort has been made SO far
to fix bail for his release. Joseph
Spatecek, who was engaged in the quar-
rel with young Nenahio, was released on
a nolle entered by the district attorney.
He was Immediately arrested on a peace
warrant and released after giving 500
bail. His brother, John Spatecek, is
still at large No very earnest efforts
are made to capture him as it is believed
he is only guilty os an assault on young
Nenahlo.
Twelve witnesses were examined and
their testimony bears pretty heavily on
Wenzel Marazek. Even the witnesses
subpoened by the defense, gave good
evidence for the prosecution. The de-
Tense set up by Wenzel is that Nenahlo,
on entering the saloon, struck him with
a large stick he had picked up outside,
and had again raised it to strike Carl, his
brother, when Wenzel wrested it from
him and inflicted the fatal blow. This
was not corroborated by any of the 9TH
er witnesses.
1t appears that there has been chad
blood between the two families, which
eliminated in the murder. No evidence
was given which shows that the killing
was In any way premeditated, and there
can be no doubt that it was done in fit
of passion.
Carl Marazek's examination opened
yesterday. The testimony given will
not differ much from that given in the
examination of his brother. Carl is not
SO directly responsible for the killing, as
his brother is.

4 SENSE OF WEAKNESS

is often felt by persons who cannot locate
any particular disease. If they work it
becomes labor; If they walk they soon
tire; mental efforts become burden, and
even joys are dimmed by the shadow Of
this weakness which is cast over their
lives. Recourse is hid sometimes TO
stimulants of dangerous character
The advice of physicians to refrain from
active labor produces no happy results.

RAILROAD EXTENSION.

The II. L. S. & ". r Co. have al
ready begun the extension of their line
from Clintonville. We have been unable
to learn just what the objective point is,
but have been assured that the road will
not go to Shawano. The road is being
extended toward the northwest from
ClintonviIle. There are three gangs of
men now at work III different places
along the route and it is intended to
prosecute the work with force of 800
men. Tt is the intention to construct at
least 30 miles Of road during the summer.
The line surveyed is said to pass over
rather broken ground, and through an
unbroken forest. The work will be
pushed on vigorously until frost sets in.

FIRE.

The building used by \. Manufacturer
in the Bird ward, as a residence and cigar
store, was destroyed by fire on the morn
ing of the 2fst inst. at / o'clock. When
discovered, the fire was on the outside of
the building and as it had not then reach
ed the interior Of the building, the infer
euce is that it is the work of an incendi-
airy. The building was totally destroyed.
It was owned by Mr.. BONN and YVES in
surad for $500, which covers the entire
loss. Manufacturer lost most Of his stock
of cigars and tobacco and household fur
niture. His property was insured for
$1,000 and he estimates. his loss at $1400.
CONSIDERABLE Indignation was excited
by the manner in which a south side man

who Immediately began TO feast upon the
dog. Their talons and bills brought him
TO consciousness and his cries attracted
the neighbors. When he was rescued

There was some talk of arresting the
