Mr.. J ohm Hamln, of this city, Tuesday evening
March 18th at o. clock, of quick consump-
ton, aged IS year, 13 months and 10 days.
The news of the death Of Mr.. John
Hamm rapidly circulated throughout
the city Wednesday and while his
death was not entirely unexpected it
was hoped he would overcome his
disease and remain with Us longer. 1t
seems, however, an allwise providence
has decreed differently, and a kind
and afectionate father has been re-
moved from happy family circle OF
five. Mr.. Hamm had been confined
to his home for the past five months
and during this time has had the
assistance of our best physicians, and
the undivided care and attention of a
faithful, loving wife. His last no.
ments were occupied in bidding his
last farewell to his wife and four
children, whom he cherished above
all that is earthly. After expressing
last wish for their future welfare he
gave up his life Mr. Hamm was
fully conscious to the last moment and
expressed himself ready and willing
to 60 to his eternal home.
Mr.. John Hamm was born in Hid
desheim, Prussia, May L, 1887, and
e,nigrated to this country with his
parents during the summer of 1860
settling at Waukesha, this state, in
August of the same year; was mar
ried in the year 1871 to his present
wife with whom he leaves four children.
He entered into the mercantile trade
On his own account in this city in
1874. since which time he had gained
large patronage and was doing an
excellent business. He leaves his
business matters in good condition and
the family well provided for. The
funeral services will take place Friday
forenoon at the Catholic Church.

We spent a few hours Tuesday
morning visiting Welcome Hyde &
Cos pulp mill, also the Grand Rapids
grist mill. In the pulp mill we found
Mr.. Brown in his shirt sleeves doing
justice to hard work. Geo. Zenier
and Amsey Ketchum were busy at their
respective occupations. The pulp
mill we learn is doing much better
work than 1t did during the dead of
winter, over which Mr.. Brown is
happy. In the grist mill we found

place in Garrison's hall Saturday
evening. The walk was for Is miles,
go-as- you-please. The parties walked
as they pleased and Bettinger kept the
lead until the. last mile whon Miss
Marshall began running and won the
race by one lap. Tuesday evening
another match was engaged in between
this lady and A. Sickles, of Centralia,
for 20 miles, square heel and toe
walk. When the tenth mile was
made Sickels who had allowed the
lady to lead up to this time wanted to
pass her and she stuck out her elbows
and prevented his doing so. At this
turn Sickels began crowding the
woman and stepping on her feet and
soon the match broke up in a sort of
row and thus ended the contest.
