Strauss charming operetta, the "Fle-
dermaus,' has been sung in Berlin
more than 600 times The Merry War"
and the Gypsy Baron" also have had
more performances in Berlin than even
in Vienna, which, however, does not in
dicate that Strauss is less appreciated
in Austria than in Prussia, but is owing
chiefly to the fact that Berlin is nearly
twice as large as Vienna.
Fairy operas are now the order of the
day since the enormous success won by
IIumperdincks "Hansel and Gretel"
Still, there were plenty of fairy operas
before his. DR.. Leopold Schmidt has
published "Geschichte der Marchen-
oper," in which he names about a hum
dred such operas which We're written
and produced between the years 1850
and 1898. Wagner's dogma regarding
the superiority Of mythical stories for
operate subjects receives new support
from the abundance of fairy operas.
David Belasco recently had a country
cousin visiting him, who is not familiar
with the wiles of a big city. After the
performance of ""The Heart of Mary
land" Belasco took the young man out
to supper. The latter pored over the
bill of fare very intently. Something
seemed to engage his especial atten-
ton. Apparently cogitating seriously
for a moment he said, Say, Dave,

land. Your play must be mighty popu-

Why Armenians Are Massacred.

II L were TO enumaralte the causes
which are responsible for the anti
Christian feeling in Turkey, l would
not hesitate to say that the religious
animosities between Moslems and
Christians are most to be blamed. The
Oriental Christian, / am sorry to say,
is as intolerant of Mohammedanism as
the MoSlem is of Christianity But the
Moslem is in power and can give ex-
preston to his hate, while the Christian
is weak and cannot strike back. 1t is
true. however, that Christianity as a
religion is more susceptible to the "Zeit-
Geist" than Mohammedanism and this
fact must influence, as it certainly has
DONE all the nations that have pro-
feSSed it. Mohammed gave to his fol-
lowers a sword, Christ gave to his dis
ciples a cross. Christianity, too, has
been guilty of persecution in the past,
but the progress of the ages has ele-
waited, broadened, and sweetened it,
while Mohammedanism continues in
spirit and in doctrine just what it was
almost 1.400 years ago. From the
mosques in Cairo and Constantinople,
the faithful pray to Allah to destroy
the infdels make their chill
Cren orphans defile their
abodes and give them and
their families and their households and
their women and their pos
sessions as booty to the Mos
lens" Several passages in the Koran
directly instigate the Mohammedans to
eXterminate the unbelievers:
Verify the worst cattle in the sight
Of Allah are those who are obstinate
infdels."
when ye encounter the unbelievers,
strike off their heads until ye have
made great slaughter among them"
"Oh, prophet, wage war against the
Unbelievers and be severe unto them,
for their dwelling shall be in hell"
'Oh, true believers, wage war against
such infidels as are near you, and let
them find severity in you

Condition OF Trade.

That exports of S5,S5O,OOO gold this
week have produced no monetary dis
turbance is at once proof of the
soundness Of financial conditions and
of the prevailing confidence in better
things to come. 1t does not matter
whether the gold is required for Russia
or anywhere else; it would not 90 from
this rather than other countries if
there were not balances to be met.
Foreign exchange discloses the fact
that large sums are due abroad, and
security balances have been insignif-
cant for months. Underyaluatlons of
goods, in some classes checked, continue
IN others, and materially swell balances
payable. But home money is in better
demand and more easy to get, and
greatly improved commercial loans.
Talk Of foreign affairs has no influence,
and the decrease of 1912 per cent. in
imports here against / per cent. in
exports indicate that merchandise
operations are calling for smaller pay
ments in settlement of balances.
Domestic exchanges are barely per
cent. larger than last year, but 19 per
cent. smaller than in 1898, when busi-
ness had begun to shrink on account of
the panic.

Miss Linton and Mrs. Hunter, of
Stevens Point, sang sweet and beauti-
full arrangement of Nearer Ny God to

At the conclusion of the services a
large concourse of citizens took last
look at the well-known face of their
late friend and neighbor and then the
procession resumed its march to Forest
Hill Cemetery. At the grave the sad
but beautiful Masonic burial service
was conducted with exceptional i'm
pressiyeness by Eminent Commander
W. B. Buckingham, Prelate John Cad
man and Rev. Weller.
The floral emblems were beautiful,
symboizing the characteristic qualities
of deceased and were a mark of the
esteem in which he was held. Most
prominent among them was mammoth
urn of white carnations and smilax,
inlaid with festoons Of roses, and bear
ing in purple velvet letters the words
"Our Employer and Friend" This
piece was given by thirty Of Mr..
Jackson's employees and Mr.. J. d.
Witter. A double headed eagle in
roses, with a cross in background and
(32) in velvet figures was sent by
Milwaukee Consistory. 1t represented
the badge of 32nd degree Masonry and
W9S handsome article Pillows Of
Gala Lilies, pillows of roses, baskets of
cut flowers, and several smaller designs
completed the oblations.
The special train left for Stevens
Point from the cemetery at the con-
clusion of the services and the large
line Of carriages wound their way back
to the city. Thus is closed the last
chapter in the life of one who lived in
harmony with all mankind. He is gone,
but his influence and his good works
will live on after him.

Boy Killed in a Runaway.

Saturday evening at about 5 O'Clock
a runaway took place in the town of
Grand Rapids which resulted in the
the death of John Goldberg's four year
old son and his mother being badly
bruised, her collar bone broken in two
places, and one arm broken. 1t appears
that the father, mother and son left in
the morning for a neighboring farm
where the father was to assist during
the day. The mother and son then
drove the team back toward home,
stopping on the way to visit with
relatives until evening. When their
visit was over the two proceeded home,
reaching there ahead of the father.
The team was driven safely into the
barn yard, but while Mrs. Goldberg
stepped back to close the gate some
thing frightened the horses and they
went on a run about the farm. The
little fellow who had been left alone in
the seat scrambled down from the
wagon just in time to have large plank
fall in some manner and strike him
across the neck, dislocating it. He got
out from under the plank, ran thirty
feet and dropped dead. The mother in
her frantic efforts to stop the frightened
horses was run over by them, the wagon
wheels passing over her neck and body
with above mentioned injuries re-
sultant. DR.. W. D. Harvie was
summoned and attended the wounds of
Mrs. Goldberg so that she is now on a
fair way toward recovery. This mis-
fortune was a sad and serious one.

FORESTERS CELEBRATE.
Local Court Observes its First Annual
Anniversary with Banquet, Dance
and Public Installation.

st. Peter and st. PauFs Court No.
1856, Catholic Order of Foresters has
been in existence in our city just one
year and Tuesday evening, its first
birthday, was fttingly honored by a
large and jolly demonstration. Neigh
boring Courts were invited to participate
IN good time with the members here
and the invitations were literally
responded to. Court 1876 has a strong
membership, knows how to entertain
and do it right, and the visiting friends
were cared for as by royal hands.
Special trains were run from Marsh
field and Stevens Point, the former
bringing about forty Foresters from
that city and Wausau, and the latter
carrying oyer sixty people. Among the
leading personages present were State
Chief Ranger Thos. J. Callen, of
Milwaukee; State Vice Chief Ranger
j. ". Dunegan, Deputy High Chief
Ranger ?. j. Jacobs, both of Stevens
Point; Chief Ranger John ". GIennon,
Stevens Point Court; and Chief Ranger
r. L. Kraus, MarshfeId Court. Tomah
Court was represented by Messrs.
Louis Pschore and VIM. F. Noltner.
When the large assemblage had
gathered in the pleasant lodge rooms of
the Court, festively arranged for the
occasion, an instrumental selection was
given by the Symphony Mandolin
Orchestra. This was followed with a
few remarks by State Ranger Callen,
who then conducted installation of the
following newly elected officers:
Chief Ranger-W. II. Carey.
Vice Chief Ranger-M. A. Bogoger.
Past Chief Ranger-Chas. Pomainville
Finance Sec.-John Flanagan.
Recording Sec.-John Schnabel Jr.
Treasurer--Chas. Gouger.
Chaplain-Rev. Chas Beyerle.
Conductors-Jim Mason, E. B.
Grignon.
Inside Sentinel-Nick Ernser.
Outside Sentinel-Joseph Fisher.
Medical Ex.-Dr H. de Grandpre.
Trustee for yrs.-N. Reiland.
After installation the company re-
paired to Pomainville's Hall, Centralia,
and nearly 200 were seated to a boun-
teous supper prepared by Mrs. John
Dixon Of the Dixon House. The ex-
ceIlent entertainment provided here
was subject of general comment and
compliments were numerous for the
hostess while the guests did Justice.
From luncheon they returned to
Forester Hall, the floor was cleared for
a dance and all held high carnival until
2:45 a. m., the time set for the return of
special trains. This event has been
looked forward to with pleasure for
some time by those eligible to particl-
pancy and none were disappointed in
ultimate realization. It was a red letter
event in the annals of this growing
society.

NEIGHBORING NOTES.
Taken From Our Exchanges and con-
denSed for Local Readers.
SCORCH THE SCORCHERS.

hSSASAA All- SNOhIhhINS.
Appleton Post: Whenever you see a
man or boy riding a bicycle at break
neck speed on the city streets, you can
safely conclude that he is a brainless
ass. All sCorchers are asses. Some are
more asslnine than others, but all are
gorgeous idiots. Most of them are
actuated by a desire to pose as a
racing man." and all of them are vic
Tins of some form or other of the
disease known as "smart-aleckism. j."
All bicycle riders of decency and iudg-
ment despise the sCorcher above all
things, because few of his idiotic kind
bring reproach upon the whole body of
Wheelmen in the minds of the superb
clal observer. One fool scOrcher can do
more damage than one hundred decent
wheelmen can by their good conduct
repair. Do not make the mistake of
considering the scorcher a wheelman.
He is nothing but an idiot and Ishmal-
lite. Real wheelmen repudiate him
utterly, and the general public despises
and fears him in equal proportions.
The scorcher ought to be considered
fair game for anyone who cares to
go cunning for him, and the open
season should be all the year round.
TO RECLAIM MARSH LAND.
Stevens Point Journal-The largest
and one of the most important business
undertakings ever attempted in Portage
county is now in process of being
worked out. The plan involves the
purchase and drainage and reclaiming
for agricultural purposes of at least
40, 600 acres of the Buena Vista marsh.
This marsh, portions of which lie in the
towns of Buena Vista, Pine Grover,
Plover and Grant, comprises about
$4,000 acres. A syndicate has now been
formed with the view of buying at least
10000 acres of this immense tract and
options on about 10000 acres have al
ready been secured. The details of the
plan are in charge of G. w. Boyce,
formerly of this city, but whose present
address is 162 LaSalle street, Chicago.
Options are being secured, however, by
r. III. Butterfied & Co. of this city and
Len Starks of Plainfeld.

Come rally round the flag boys,
And join this song with me,
In patriotic feeling,
For the "Land of brave and free"
To save IL from destruction,
Republicans will gain;
Mckinley for the president,
Prosperity will reign.
Chorus:
Then let us march along
In many millions strong;
Mckinley and Protection
Will be our joyous song.
Three years ago the Demos
We're shouting for free trade,
And when they tried to practice it,
Oh. what a break they made;
With income tax they propped il,
They hooped IL all around,
But oh, the props fell under,
And all went to the ground.
But now IL Is free silver
They're using for u bait,
They cannot fool us this time,
Well tell them plain and straight
Well shun their fiatt'ring story,
No use for them to plead,
Mckinley and Prote ,tion
Will satisfy our need
Explain the "crime of '73'
Is one of their fine tricks,
Why don't they now explain TO us
The crime of '96?
The cities and the country
Are fun of idle men,
All shouting for Mckinley,
To start the works again.
