A lady living near the Old Town
road recently lost her po~cketbook,
containing a considerable amount of
money. and she was naturally very
anxious to recover it. She had been
working about the yard and garden
during the day, and supposed that she
dropped it there. A diligent search,
in which she was assisted by her
neighbors, failed to find the missing
article, and she gave it up in despair,
going into the house. There she saw
her little dog, and more to relieve her
feelings than anything else, said
'Nido, go find my pocketbook, and do
not come back until you get it." Fido,
after an appealing glance at his mis-
tress, sneaked out of the door with his
tail between his legs, looking as
though he wanted to lie down and
die. He was noticed soon afterward
hunting and smelling around the lot,
finally disappearing in some tall
weeds. 1t was only a few minutes
later when Fido was heard whining
and scratching at the door, and when
it was opened he walked in, bearing
the pocketbook in his mouth. Fido
had undoubtedly understood what his
mistress said, and was smarter than
the whole crowd of human beings

Tn. arasic of tho Marimba.

An interesting trio of Guatemalan
natives arrived in the city on the
Breakwater on Monday. The three
men are skilled musicians on their ma
tive instrument the ''marimba." The
marimba resembles a zylophone, is
sever feet long, and is made of forty
keys of hormego wood, arranged on
tightly drawn strings. Beneath the
keys are hollow cubes of various
lengths, which add intensity to the
notes. The instrument is tuned by
placing a piece Of beeswax beneath the
end of any key not of the right tone.
The keys are struck with willow
sticks, on the end of which are fasten-
ed small balls of native uncured rub
Der. Several of the airs were well
rendered, and then a few of the popu-
lar American tunes were executed ex-
cellently. The music is sweet and
mellow, but changes at times to the
loud and blaring notes of a brass band.

We believe we are safe this time in
noting the marriage of Mr.. T. Rourke,
Centralia merchant TO Miss Maggie
Meredith, of New Lisbon. This event
took place at the Catholic church
Father Beyerle officiating. Miss Mere
dith not being a member of that church
united with it after which the ceremony
was performed. They then repaired to
the residence of Mr.. Demereau where
an elegant wedding dinner was in wait
ing. Only relatives partoOk of the
feast Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. levitt, of Wau-
kesha, Mrs. i. A. Lane, Mrs. s. Iona
and Mrs Marshal, all of New Lisbon
and sisters of the bride were present.
The brides dress was cream gros grain
silk, with pearl and lace trimmings.
She wore a corsage boquet of Marechal
Neil roses and white lace bonnet. Miss
May Hall, Of New Lisbon an old class
mate of Miss Maggie acted as brides
maid. The bride has resided in Cen
tralia for the past two years and been
employed for a large share of that time
as clerk in Mr.. ROurke's store, where
she won host of people as her friends.
The groom is too well known in these
communities as an upright business
man to need any introduction at our
hand. Dir. Pete Love, of this city acted
in the capacity of groomsman.
This couple were the recipients of
many elegant presents. They left on
the evening train attended by the
bridal party, for New Lisbon where
they will spend few days then leave

CURRAN TRIAL.

The CurTan Brothers trial at Waupaca
has brought out the following statement
from Adam Guchenberger who is now
confined in States Prison at Waupun:
Some time ago a committee of Wau-
paca business men went down to Wau-
pun to interview Adam Guchenberger,
a Wood County convict, concerning the
alleged confession of the Mead murder,
which he claimed to have been made to
him in the jail at Grand Rapids by one
Pat Carr. When the committee return
ed from Waupun it was given out that
Guchenberger had said nothing of
Importance, and all inquiry regarding
the confession which he divulged was
hushed. In reality, it is now said, he
made sensational statement which
was taken down by Mr.. Spencer, the
official stenographer for this circuit,
and the document is now in the hands
Of the attorneys who are prosecuting
the Currans. In it he utterly retracts a
former statement made by him to the
effect that Carr confessed having COM
mitted the murder alone, and says
that what Carr really con fessed was
that John and Henry Curran, and Jack
Reilly, the latter of whom was muir
dered in the lookup at Stevens Point,
were implicated in the murder.
Guchenberger gives the story in de-
tail, as he claims it was told to HIM by
Carr, who said that he struck Mead
over the head with club after he was
shot, also that he received about $500
as his share of the plunder, and that
some of the stolen bonds were disposed
of at different places in Minnesota.
The only places Guchenberger could
Carr, were st. Cloud and Minneapolis.
Carr also confessed, the statement reads
that there was a woman in Stevens
Point who knew about the case, and
that he Carr poisoned her and buried
her body in the woods. This confess
ion Guchenberger said, was made to
him by Carr on March Z, 1856. He also
said that while they We're in Jail at
Grand Rapids, man, whom Carr told
him was Henry Curran visited the Jail;
that Carr and his visitor carried on
whispered conversation, and that Carr
was afterwards very much agitated, and
expressed the fear that he was going to
be killed. Carr is now believed to be
