As has been intimated, the young law
yer is a huge joke. The fact that he rep
resents a profession which IS the CEN
trpetal force Of Anglo-Saxon civiliZa-
ton is in Itself a mirth-inspihng thought.
And then. add 10 this the recollection
that he has undergone the crucial test
of thought and study, and you have a
ludcrous result. Maybe too, he has
abandoned some other profitable trade
or calling. and impeled by the beckon-
ings of irresistible ambition. gone forth
to be smoOthed down by the emery
stone of adversely.
Sometimes he even enters into the
spirit of the grim joke himself. and
chucklcs when he thinks how the study
of law magnfes the size OF the almighty
dollar. His friends unite with him i'm his
mirth-and give their legal business 10
some well-established senior. After they
have paid a good fee for the services
they receive. they maenanimously recall
the object of their merriment and resolve
to henccforth help him. Possibly the OPP
pOrtunity never presents itself or maybe
they change their minds.
The good-natured man finds ceaseless
fun IN bantering the embryonic lawyer
about railroad receiyerships and Supreme
Court cases and chanccry causes and
what not, though the joke rarely takes
the practical shape Of a genuine bust
ness proposition.
And strangest Of all. the fellow who
helps the young attOrneys-if they get
any helps some serious. solemn chap
upon whom they have no claim. and from
whom they expect nothing. The indiyid-
uals who promise much may perchance
take gratuitous advice. and are willing
TO sit in your only chair for an hour or
so every day but otherwise they do not
materialize.

WON HIS BET.

Charles Bue Afoot Beats A wisconsin Cen
trail Train Between Trevor and Chicago
Steam was vanquished by human
power yesterday when Charles L. Buel,
an amateur pedestrian, journeyed on
foot from Trever, Wis, to the Union
stock yards of Chicago, a distance of
sixty miles, in thirteen hours and
thirty-fve minutes, or four hours and
twenty-five minutes faster than the
time required by a regular cattle train
in making the distance.
Ten 500 bills were handed the
record breaker as he crossed the tape.
Half this sum was the amount wagered
by Courtney A Kleman of Clay, Rob-
inson 4 %. against the contestant,
that the utter could not make good a
boast this he could make steam en-
CINE look like water tank.
The bet had its origin this way: Mr..
Buel shipped several hundred sheep to
the live stock city late in the winter.
Eighteen hours were consumed in ira
versing the distance and many Of the
animals we're found dead when the
transfer TO the pens was made.
In burst of indignation Mr.. Buel
declared be could easily beat the rail-
road time and declared he had $500
that would back his assertion at any
time. Mr.. Kleman is sportsman who
thinks be can recognize an easy bet
and he readily covered the money.
Some lao others, who likewise under
estimated Mr.. BueFs speed and
stamina, changed their mind before
dark and, according to the most relia-
BILE estimates, at least 500, 900 changed
hands on the result of the race.
Mr.. Bueps entry into the city was in
the nature of triumph, as all the way
down Milwaukee avenue crowds OF
bcyclists accompanied him, and the
thousands of people who lined the side
walks cheered him on to the finish.
At the west gate of the stock yards
hundreds of brawny employees were
gathered and nearlyEall the prominent
commission men of the stock exchange
were there to greet the piucky sales
man. When he finally came in sight
just by the sheep pens it was 5:O5
O'clock, and he crossed the line mark
ing the entry to the stock yards one
minute later. A cheer went up which
could be heard at the Halsted street
entrance of the yards, and the men
who We at work within the packing
houses opened the windows and sent
back a lusty greeting to the man who
had established new schedule for the
Wisconsin Central railroad.
We might add that had Buel been
walking against q North western train
the result would have been far differ

Mischief Under Peculiar Circumstances.

Charles Lynch is Arrested for Malicious
Mischief Under Peculiar Circumstances.
Charles Lynch was arrested last
Saturday evening by one of the police
force on charge Of malicious mischief
preferred by man named Peter
Kolosky. The Groub G, arose o7er IL q
possession of a house on Grant street
which had been occupied by brother
in-law of Lynch. The house had been
leased to the first of June, but as the
parties we're DESTROYS OF moving earlier
it was decided to vacate last Saturday
and the dwelling in the meantime was
leased to Kolosky as a new tenant
Kolosky didn't take possession until
today, but be moved in on last Satur-
day evening. It seems that Lynch's
brother in-law had left a few things
behind and he sent Lynch after them.
When Lynch arrived at the house he
was met with rather unexpected
opposition and he was informed that
he couldn't take the things ont of the
house. Lynch tried to sell the articles
to Kolosky, but this party positively
refused to take them. Finally Lynch
took the matter into his OWE hands
and breaking into the house through a
window he proceeded to demolish
things. He not only broke up the
things belonging to his brother-in-law
but several dishes belonging to the
Kolosky family were smashed in the
onslaught.
This morning the matter was settled
out of court by Lynch paying Kolosky
ST. He was then released from custody.

DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.

Herman Ploetz, Injured in a Railway Ac-
cident succumbs to Injuries.
Herman Ploetz, the German section
hand who was seriously injured in a
railway accident on the Northwestern
road north Of the city last Thursday
morning, died Sunday morning as a
result of the injuries received.
At the time the laborer was injured
it was not thought that he had suffered
any injury beyond broken arm and
some severe bruises, but later exam
ination proved that two of his ribs were
broken and that the entire system was
badly affected by the shock attending
the accident. Friday morning the man
began to suffer intensely and frequent
internal hemorrhages showed that his
internal injuries were very serious. He
was slightly improved on Saturday but
Saturday night he had a relapse which
resulted in his death Sunday morning.
The deceased was so years of age
and had lived in this city for several
years. He leaves wife and eight
children. The wife and the children
are all very delicate, and for this reason
the shock caused by the death of the
husband and father is even harder to
hnar

James Brinton, young man % years
of age, died very suddenly last even
ing at the home of William Barnes just
south of the Engle brick yard. The
deceased was not we'll known in this
city, but the ailment of which he suf-
fered has long been known to almost
every member of the medical profession
and has been an enigma to them.
The young fellow was taken sick
about year ago while working on the
ice near Salem. In a short time he
became totally blind but his health
was not seemingly unimpaired. He has
been treated by specialists in Chicago
and Milwaukee, but none of them have
been able to diagnose the case. He
returned to this city short time ago,
and though he was confined to bis
room it was not thought that his illness
was in any way serious. He was taken
with commissions Tuesday evening ano

could arrive.

interested in the case held a post

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Mrs. John Mindermann Celebrates the

Mrs. John Mindermann Celebrates the
s2nd Anniversary of her Birth
Last Saturday was a gala day at the
home of John Mindermann on South
street, as on that day the wife and
mother, Mrs. John MindermaDn, cele
brated the sixty second anniversary of
her birth. In the evening the friends
of the lady decided that she needed
some assistance in the celebration of
the event, and about s o'clock large
company took the house by storm.
The new corners were made doubly
welcome, and soon took possession of
the entire house. Little tables were
scattered all about the rooms, and in a
short time all the guests were engaged
in a merry game of lone hand euchre.
Although the hostess has travelled
several years on The shady side Of life,
she was the gayest of the gay, and to
the guests it seemed that they were
celebrating an anniversary which had
been celebrated quarter century be-
fore. The prizes in the card games
were won by Mrs. j. Dennis and Geo.
| Limpert while the consolation hon0rs
were awarded to Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Volmer.
At IL o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Dickhaut led the way to the dining
room where supper was served, After
supper music and conversation assisted
the guests to pass several more pleas
ant hours and shortly after midnight
they retired, wishing their hostess
many other happy anniversaries of her
birth. Among those present were
Messrs. and Mesdames Jacob Volmer,
George Limpert, George Wallis, Con-
rad Hansis, Henry Eichelman, Fred
Dickhaut, G. A. Dickhaut; Misses
Lizzie Geiser, Josie G aiser and Louis
Limpert. Among those from out of
town were Mrs. and Mrs. Philip Wind
ish, of Racine; Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Miller, Miss AinsWorth and Capt. Geo.
Branstetter, of Chicago.

WAS A HUGE JOKE.
3. r. HETHERINGTON DID NOT COM.
NIT SUICIDE.
SEEN IN PLEASANT PRAIRIE.
The Fellow is Evidently working Huge
Practical Joke on His Friends said
To be Woman in the Case
Police Drop the Matter.

The police officials have made an end
to the search which they have been
making for the remains of B. T. Heth
erington, the barber, who left the city
Friday afternoon after leaving a letter
stating he intended to commit suicide.
Every indication goes to show that the
fellow is in the land of the living.
Since the story of his supposed suicide
was published Saturday, reports have
been coming in from ali directions
from people who have seen and talked
with the missing barber. One thing is
sure if Hetherington really did commit
suicide he committed it in another
way than by jumping into the lake as
he stated in the letter which he left
behind to tell his friends of his fate.
Last Friday evening about the time
the barber was supposed to be wrest-
ling with the waves of the lake he was
seen in the neighborhood of the Wind
sor bicycle factory. When this report
was sent to the police Office the offic
ers thought that some mistake must
have been made, but on Sunday an
other report was brought to them
which placed an entirely different
ligh6 on the subject and made the
matter much clearer. 1T seems that
hetherington left the barber shop
Friday and went at once out into the
town OF Pleasant Prairie. Saturday
the barber reached the site of the
powder mills and was seen by Walter
Cavaragh who is employed as sup
erintendent at the mills. Cavanagh
knew the fellow we'll and had long
talk with him.
Hetherington was looking for whisky,
and Cavanagh stated that he directed
him to Salem as the nearest place in
which he could secure the desired
article. The fellow took the first
train for Salem and has not been seen
since.
The. officials are not making any
effort to fn5 him, as no one seems to
be interested in the affair. All sorts of
other stories have been heard in regard
to the case, one man even going SO far
as to report that he had seen the barber
out near Benton walking out into the
lake with a sounding like looking for a
stretch of water deep enough to drown
in. If the missing man ever returns to
Kenosha he will probably have good
reasons for wishing that he had thrown
himself in the lake. AS it now seems,
the matter is huge joke, or after
writing the affecting letter Hethering
ton lost his nerve and decided not to
do it. A gentleman from Lyons, Iowa,
who is stopping at the Sanitarium,
corroborates the facts in the letter and
states that Hetherington comes of a
very good family. What the reason for
the huge joke was is still a mystery,
aud as the perpetrator of it will
probably be seen in this city no more
it will remain unsolved. Rumor has it
that there is even another woman in
the case and that she lived in Racine
| This story cannot be substantiated by
any of the friends of the missing man
and is probably only a wild statement
made by some one for the sake of q
sensation.
