A SAD DEMISE.
MRS. j. hickman Passes Away at 3 100 A. M.
Monday After an Illness of Fey Hours

From Merrill Advocate.
The citizens of this city received a
severe shock on Monday morning when
Tue news rapidly flew through the
city that Mrs. Thlelman, wife of
Mayor Thielman had died early that
morning. The surprise was greatly
increased When it was learned that on
Jne day before she had been, although
not IN the best of health, feeling
0etter than she had for some time.
she attended church in the morning
ana sat up all day and at six O'Clock
Wnen converSing with friends she
stated that she felt better than she
had for some time, but when retiring
at ten o'clock, she suddenly was taken
with a sinking spell and she slowly
failed in spite of all Efforts to save her.
Her strength had become so wasted,
having been in poor health for some
time, that at twelve O'Clock all hope
for her recovery was lost and at three
O'Clock Monday morning she quietly
breathed her last in the presents of
her husband, mother and the attend
ing physicians. Extreme sadness
reigns through the city over her
sudden death, being all the more
S0rroWful considering the fact that
VIM. Ihielman, her son, and Miss
Amanda Thielman, her daughter,
were both absent from the city.
She leaves besides her mother,
husband and three children mentioned
above, four sisters and three brothers.
all of whom are expected to be here
at the funeral, which will be held
from St. Johns Lutheran church
Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Thielman's maiden name was
Minnie Pahlmer and was born in
RagZOw, Germania, March %, 1858,
and came to this country with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Palmer,
in 1870. when she was twelve years
old. They settled near Grand Rapids.
where her father followed farming
She was married to Mr.. Thielman
April 20, 1879. In the spring of 1881
they removed to this city, where they
have since made their home. Three
children blessed their union, Amanda,
William and Lillian. Mrs. Thielman
was woman devoted to her home
and to charitable work. She was a
member of ST. Johns Lutheran
church, and was until her health
failed her, foremost in all christian
work. A devoted christian and a
loving mother has gone to her heaven
ly home.

drOneS in the two cities IF there are
any SUCH read the following taken
from one of our exchanges and apply
it to themselves: Next to a mans
family and business, nothing should
be nearer to his heart than the town
in which he lives. He wants to make
it as popular as possible he cannot
afford to be Indifferent to anything
which furtherS these ends. 1t can be
said that town that is worthy of the
devotion of its citizens, is making it
wholly known and greatly prosperous
is a town in which it is worth the full
measure of our devotion. to merely
take our share of the common benefits
accorded to the community. We may
yet add that if persons cannot identify
themselves with interests to their
town and be in sympathy and touch
with people with whom they live, it
would be better for them to ''mOve
out" There are many people who
live off community and contribute
nothing to it. They oppose the
church, state and school, and every
thing else in which they cannot lead
or make profit out Of, tearing down
without the ability or disposition to
build up. They never give anything
better than community may have,
and in their fault finding opposition
and Indifference. they discourage and
crush out what could be made more
prosperous if they expended half the
effort in trying to build up that they
do in diScOuraging improvements"
Louis Schroeder. John Martin and
other carpenters are buSily engaged
this week erecting a bowling alley
building for Jacob LutZ & Co.,
the dimensions are 80 feet long. Is
feet wide. with ten foot posts. This
new feature in connection with his
other business will be quite drawing
card as bowling contests are all the
rage now in the larger cities. 1t is
Mr.. Lutz's intentions to have his
alley and equipments tirSt-claSs in
every respect. The interior painting
and finishing of his recent addition to
his saloon building is being pushed as
rapidly as the artist and decorator, W.
G. Martin and assistants can manage
it. When all these improvements are
completed, Mr.. LutZ will have the
finest and most attractive pleasure
resort in either city.
The Marshfeld & Southeastern
railroad company has long talked of
putting in a telegraph line in cOnnec-
tiOn with their railroad. We under
stand they are now ready to put in a
telegraph line between here and
NekOoSa and the poles are already or
dered for that purpose. This will be
Il great convenience to the road and
will be used exclusively for company
business The building of this line
has been under consideration for some
time but it was not until last week
that it was definitely decided to do so.
The line will cost nearly $4,000.
General Grundy says the work of
building will be rushed as rapidly as
possible.

John Zeltner fired at the attorney, who
ran out of doors, the ball striking West.

shots were fired at him, but did not take
effect. At the corner OF the building Paul
Zeltner met him and fired two shots at
the attorney. one striking the leg and the
other going into his forehead. Death re-
suited in a few minutes.
After the murder the Zeltners fed to
their home, pursued by crowd OF several
hundred men. The Zeltners stood boldly
in their yard all the early part of the
afternoon and defied arrest. There was a
frequent exchange of shots between the
fugitives and the crowd at long range, and
a man named Wittenmyer, who crossed
an open space, was shot through the
heart and instantly killed. Sheriff Kings
bury and posse of deputies were soon on
the scene, but the fusillade of shots kept
up by the Zeltners prevented any effort
being made to capture them.
