Quoted by G. c. Washburn post accord
ing to the Grand Army ritual. The
chaplain, Rev. NJ. w. Balch, delivered an
eloquent prayer and then Commander
Merrick made short address. In his
remarks he said:
To-day we lay to rest noble man.
In battle smoke, in the fierce heat of
conflict he earned his title-deeds of
manhood. These tattered flags, borne
by manned comrades in arms. were dyed
a deeper crimson with his blood. His
ear was quick to hear the call of his
country; his soul was strong within
him to answer to the call, and with high
resolve, dedicate his life, if need be-,
to his countrys cause. In civil life,
around the campfire, mingled with men
of every race and creed and condition,
he lived the perfect life of brotherhood.
May his courage in the time of
trial, his calmness and purity in private
life, be an incentive to the youth of our
land, into whose keeping he has confd-
ed the interests of country and citizen
ship which he honorably upheld"
The chaplain pronounced benediction,
comrades laid wreaths upon casket,
Bugler Gillette sounded one bar of
"taps," volley was fred another bar

Application has been made to the SUI
preme court for a new trial for Joseph
La Tour. now serving life sentence in
state prison for the murder of Jerry
Cleveland in Sawyer county, August 10,

is asked are that La Tour was arraigned
under a general information, under
which he might have been convicted OF
murder in the first, second or third de-
gree. and that the jury in returning its
verdict simply found him guilty as
charged in the information, without
specifying the degree.
1t is claimed sentence should not have
been passed upon such verdict, there.

FIRE IN A DRUG STORE.
Several Explosions Make the Fireanen
Careful at Appleton.


Appleton. Wis, May 3O.-ISpeciaLl-
Fire broke out at 5 o'clock this morning
in the basement of Wendelborn's drug
store on College avenue. The basement
was stored full of oils. acids and in
fammable materials. besides fifty bar
rels of liquors.
Several little explosions of small pack
ages of acids made the basement very
dangerous for the firemen and for time
it seemed that they would be forced to
retreat and leave the fire to- have it's own
way. In that case nothing could have
saved the building. and the entire north
side of College avenue from Appleton to
Oneida streets would probably have been
destroyed.
After half an hour of desperate and
dangerous work, however, the fire was
gotten under control, though it was two
hours before it was finally put ont. The
loss cannot now be accurately estimated,
but will be several hundred dollars; fully
covered by insurance.
