The body of James M Lowry was
brought here for burial last Thursday
from Milwaukee. The funeral party
came by special train, which arrived
here at lis P. NJ, and consisted of a
baggage car and eleven coaches. All

railroad shops, and many friends ofthe
late engineer. The funeral was under
the auspices of the knights Templar,
the deceased being prominent in the
order, a delegation of Olivet Comand-
cry, of this city, joining their Milwau-
kee brethren in the funeral obsequies.
The cortege moved from the depot to
Oak Hill cemetery, forming long pro-
cession. At the grave the funeral SER
vices of the Knights Templar were read

The Divide Musin Concert.

The Divide Mus;n Concert company
appeared before fair-sized audience,
considering the bad condition of the
weather-the night being extremely
cold-at Concordia Opera house, last
Wednesday evening The concert was
splendid musical treat, each member
of the company displaying the ability
of an artist. Musin once more mani
tested his wonderful powers as violin
list to our people, showing that his tech
nical knowledge of his instrument is
complete. The singing of Miss Annie
Louise Tanner, with the fine fexibility
of voice she possesses, had a charming
effect on the audience, and in answer
to one of her encores she sang "Annie
Laurie" with fine effect. Miss c. Mic
olaf as contralto has voice of fine
range and expression and carried off
high orders in her numbers, answering
several encores. Clemente Bologna,
baritone, never appeared in better
voice than on this occasion, and his
deep, perfect tones were proof of the
great singer that he is. AS pianist it
is hard tn find a superior to Eduard
Scharf. and his touch shows great mu-
steal skill and culture. AS whole the
Musin company is a combination of
rare musical talent

Nearing Her Centenary.

The oldest person in this city, if not
in Jefferson county, Mrs. Josephine
Wiggenhorn, celebrated at her home in
the Second ward, her 93d birthday
Monday, having been born in Westpha-
liza, Prussia, March 10, 1898. Three of
her children, Constance and August
Wiggenhorn, of this city, and Eugene
Wiggenhorn, of La Crosse, with rela-
tives and friends were present to enjoy
the notable day with her. Mrs. Wig
genhorn still enjoys good health and is
in possession of all her faculties to re-
markable degree considering her ex-
IRENE age. In proof of this we are in
formed that every, week regularly she
writes her son, Eugene, letter with
her own hand. Indeed, Mrs. Wiggen-
horn bids fair to, celebrate her centen-
airy birthday, and let us hope that she
will be spared to do so.
1t is rather bewildering to look back
over the period Mrs. Wiggenhorn has
lived. John Adams had just entered
the second year Of his administration,
when she first saw the light and Wash
ington was yet living. It was only two
years before her birth that the great
Napoleon Bonaparte first came into
notice by his conquests in Italy and at
the time of his disastrous retreat from
Moscow she was a Miss of IA years;
while three years later, when he was
vanquished at Waterloo, Mrs. Wiggen-
horn was on the verge of young woman
hood. She has been contemporary
with Goethe, Schiller and the two Hum
boldts, Karl Wilhelm and the great
Alexander, and Bismarck was not born
for Is years after Mrs. Wiggenhorn' s
birth. We shall not attempt to enum-
crate the changes she has witnessed
both in her native land and in her
adopted country during her time. This
would be far too reaching and subject
too exhaustive.

An Artist in Tricks.

Thursday last, Sigmund Rosenberg,
who assumed the role of John Lederer.
artist of The Chicago Herald, was taken
from Jefferson Jail to Milwaukee, where
he is wanted in the same line as he is
here, only good deal more SO. By
the change considerable of an expense
is saved to Jefferson county, and Mil
waukee will see that Rosenberg re-
ceives his just deserts for his ofenses.
The Sentinel of Friday gives the fol-
lowing sketch of his career:
Feb. 20 he and an employee of the
Water department entered the saloon
of Aid. Henry Adler and made things
lively for time Whenit came to the
point of settling, Rosenberg produced
a check for 500, drawn on the Second
Ward Savings bank and in favor of
John Lederer. On the strength of be-
ing in the company of the water meter
inspector, the guileless alderman cash
ed the check. At the bank he learned
next day that it was a piece Of valueless
paper. The next time the check-passer
was heard from he was at Watertown,
where he also passed check for lar
ger amount, using Lederer's name. The
next day he turned up at Madison.
Then he was arrested and taken back
to Watertown. The authorities there,
however, did not think they could
make their case stick against him and
were about to turn him loose, when
Chief Jansen stepped in and the man
was turned over to Detectives Schilke
and Kelly yesterday.
Rosenberg is Al years of age, and no
stranger in Milwaukee. Fifteen years
ago he lived here with his family, being
amember of the German Stadt theatre.
He played the roles of juvenile lovers,
and is remembered by many Germans
Then he went West and located in San
Francisco. His wife, he claims, is en-
ployed in the California theatre there.
He himself claims to have been an ed
itor of The California Demokrat, a Ger
man paper published on the coast.
When asked why he used the name of
the Chicago artist, he said he did not
know. Rosenberg has some relatives
in this CITY

The SchusIer Examination.

August Schusters examination for
the assault on Miss Rosa Sackman was
| held at Baraboo before Justice Slye
last Friday. All the witnesses from
here were sworn with the exception of
j. w. Moore, of The Gazette, and M.
Blumenfeld, of The Weltbuerger. Sew
eral of the witnesses employed in the
Commercial hotel swore with positive
ness that Schuster was at his regular
work as usual all day on the 7th of
February, the day the assault was COM
mitted, and other corroborative testi-
mony was produced by Geo. Name
gold and several more, all going to show,
unless these witnesses were mistaken,
the utter impossibility of Schuster be-
ing the guilty party. The serious con-
dition of Miss Sackman prevented her
from being present at the examination,
but her testimony taken at her bed
side was produced in court. Schuster,
in company with several other parties,
was taken before her, and from among
them, she fully identified Schuster as
the person who committed the assault
upon her. With great conciseness she
gave detailed statement of the man
ner in which she was assaulted, being
numerically beaten with a club
about the neck and breast, and also
shockingly kicked in the stomach and
other parts of the body. In graphic
terms she spoke of having been drag
ged toward the river by her brutal as
sailant, and how his purpose of drown
ing her would undoubtedly have been
carried out, were it not for his being
frightened at the sound of an approach
ing wagon on the road. Although the
court was of the opinion that an alibi
was proven, yet, under the circum-
stances of Miss Sackman not being
able to be present, he felt itincumbent
on him to bind the prisoner to the
next term of the circuit court in the
sum of 5000. Bail not being produced,
Schuster was remanded to jail. It is
likely to prove a most singular case
The girls testimony against that given
by the witnesses for the defense can
only be reconciled on the ground of
Miss Sackman laboring under halu-
cination as to who her assailant is.

Death of Mrs. Daniel Jones

Entered into rest at her home in the
Third ward, Tuesday afternoon, March
II, 1890, Mrs. Elizabeth Davenport
Harger Jones, wife of Daniel Jones, in
the I'D year of her age, after long
sickness from a complication OF dis
eases, her death being fastened by a
stroke of paralysis she suffered the
Friday evening preceding her decease.
Mrs. Jones was one of the best known
of our residents; prominent in social
circles and possessing an influence for
good that was felt throughout our entire
community. Especially in her work
and calling as a sincere and devoted
member of the Episcopal church did
this influence manifest itself to mark
ed and trusting degree, and the recol-
lections of these labors of love and af-
lection will cause her memory to be
long cherished and revered by many to
whom she had been guide and friend.
In her death it can be truly said that
good woman, faithful to her trusts
and duties in this life, and having an
abiding confidence in her God, has
been called to her reward, leaving a
husband bowed in grief and disconso-
late at this visitation of Providence that
appears so hard to bear, and which can
only be reconcilable by the thought
that the "Lord doeth all things WE'LL"
Mrs. Jones was born in Denmark,
Lewis county, New York, July p, 1918,
and was married at PAMELA, Jefferson
county, New York, to Daniel Jones,
who survives her, October 80, 1843.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones came direct to Mil
waukee after their marriage, residing
there until removing to Watertown in
October, 1916, this city since then being
their home.
The funeral of Mrs. Jones will take
place at ST. Paul's Episcopal church
Friday afternoon at o'clock.

Vest Succeeds in Setting the :Silver Ball
Rolling.
WASHINGTON, May I'm the senate
today number of bills were reported
from the committees and placed on the
calendar, including the house regular
appropriation bills for the army and for
the military academy, and the house
bill to provide for the disposal of certain
military reservations in Wyoming terri
tory.
The house bill authorizing the secre-
tary of war to deliver to the state of Col
orado the flags carried by Colorado regi-
ments during the war of the rebellion,
was reported and passed, after the ex-
planation that " hile flags of state regi-
ments were carried home with them,
those of territorial regiments were kept
in Washington.
Gray moved to proceed to considera-
ton of the bill to transfer the revenue
marine service to the navy department.
Agreed to.
Cochran spoke against the bill, and
was still speaking at 2 O'Clock, when
the presiding officer announced that
under last Fridays agreement the bill
would be laid aside and the senate pro-
ceed to the consideration of the silver
bill.
The bill having been read IN ertenso,
Stewart asked unanimous consent that
it be postponed until Tuesday next, and
then be unfinished business.
Vest objected. He thought the silver
bill the most important one on the cal
endar, and that it would be unreason-
ably delayed.
Plumb agreed with Vest as to the i'm
portance of the bill and the delay. but
would consent that it should go over till
Tuesday on the request of the senator
who had it in charge (Jones), and who
proposed to open the debate.
Merrill said Jones was absent and de-
sired few days to prepare for opening
the debate, and hoped therefore consent
would be given to the bill going over.
Vest said the bill had been fixed for
today on Jones's own motion, and now
by an e.r parte proceeding, in which the
majority OF the senate was not consulted,
the bill was to be thrust aside for an
other week. He would not agree to any
thing except that the bill be taken up
and considered now until disposed Of.
Teller said he was ready to 60 on with
the bill, but would not insist on it's be-
ing taken up in the absence of Senator
Jones.
The Presiding Officer-The senator
from Nevada (Mr. Stewart) asks unan-
imous consent that further consideration
of the bill be postponed until Tuesday
next. Is there any objection?
