LOUIS GOETSCH.
Died on Friday Evening of Injuries
Received in the Jacob Morten-
son Saw Mill.

Louis Goetsch, residing at 713 Scott
Mortenson saw mill, on March 14th,
died on Friday evening at the Riverside
Hospital. Mr.. Goetsch was work
ing at the edger and had just placed
one board into the machine, and
while in the act OF reaching for another
board, che first one was caught on one
of the saws which hurled the board
back with tremendous force and struck
him as above mentioned. Those who
witnessed the accident ran TO his assist
ance, picked him up and had him taken
to the hospital Upon examination it
was found that three of his left ribs
were broken which penetrated his
lungs. The injury, together with in
ternal hemorrhage, caused death on
Friday evening.
Louis Goetsch was born in Germany,
July 2, 1915, and was therefore forty
five years of age. He lived in the old
country until a young man, and served
two years in the Germany army. He
came to America at the age of twenty
three, and lived at Neenah one year,
after which he came to Wausau, in
1888 Since that time he has made

four he was married in this city to Miss

lands came into market, December 90,
1890, Mr.. Goetsch was the first man In
line at the Court House, and made the

THE GEO. E. FOSTER
LUMBER COME ANY

Capital properly applied combined
with energy insure for the projectors
deserving success, and just such success
has been the fortune of the Geo E. Eos
ter Lumber Co. They are in fact one of
the largest and best conducted compa-
MES in the state. They operate more
extensively in proportion to the length
of time they have been in business,
than the majority of lumber firms
throughout the Wisconsin valley The
members of the firm are Geo E. Foster,
President; B. Heineman, Vice-Presi-
dent; S. Heineman, Secretary and
Treasurer.
They now have about fifteen mills, all
told, cutting timber for them, some
they own and others are leased Seven
mills in the vicinity of Wausau, as many
around Merrill, one large one at Mellen,
Wis, cut the timber owned by this big
firm, and converting it into lumber,
they ship it to all parts of the country
Several camps are running continually
at points along the valley, all to supply
the mills of the company with logs. Be
sides operating these camps they buy
millionskef feet of hardwood and pine
from the farmers. They have already
received about 100000 cut, 100000
being banked on the Wisconsin river to
be driven to Wausau in the spring. Big
yards are kept well Supplied with lum-
Der at all times, at Merrill, Wausau and
Mellen.
The members of the company who
superintend the operations at the differ
ent points are s. Heineman, Merrill, b.
Heineman, Wausau, and Geo. E. Foster,
Mellen.
Altogether they employ in the neigh
borhood of 500 men and must pay good
wages accordingly in order to hold
them. That the company is one whose
resources are not taxed may be ascer-
tanned from the fact that they as a com
pany own about 10, 600, 600 feet of stand
ing timber in this state, the majority OF
it being hardw bod, while each individ-
ual holdings. They conduct but few
camps in the vicinity of Merrill it be-
ing comparatively easy to secure tim
Der from the farmers, but at Wausau
and at Mellen they do some extensive
work in that line.
Should not Merrill be proud of being
virtually the home city of the Geo. +,
Foster Lumber Co.? Should we not all
be loud in acclaim for their success and
wish them prosperity unbounded in all
future operations:-Merrill Advocate.

No Lyceum last week as the new con-
stitution was not in condition for sign
ing and the society was without mem
bers. This week, the meeting willS be
held on Thursday as the High School
opening occurs Friday evening
Quite delegation of High School
students went down to the Northwes-
tern depot Friday noon to welcome the
girls from Clintonville The High
School band was out in full force. OF
course, we were sorry to lose the game
as we did, 10 to 8, but then, considering
that one of our best players was unable
to be present, and four Clintonville
girls have played for two years while
ours have played scarcely three months,
we didn't feel so bad after all.
After the game, all the spectators
were invited to a reception in the as
sembly hall. Here a program was Civ
en-, as follows
Music....... .......High School Orchestra
Recltatlo p..... Bertha Trevitt
vocal SOTO Mrs. Hart
Violin solo .................. .... Della Thayer
Music .. High School Orchestra
Every one of the selections was ex-
cellent, and thoroughly enjoyed by the
audience.
IN the manual training rooms, ice
cream and cake were served.
On Thursday, Mr. Warren gave us an
interesting talk on the states prison
and reformatory. He described the
buildings, gave some details of the work
done there, and told how prisoner
spends his day
tits mystery to High School students
why families, possessing from one to
three men, who are perfectly capable of
cleaning sidewalks, will leave them
without shoveling from beginning to
end of winter. In those few days of
thaw that we had, it would have been
matter of only little work to clean
the sidewalks we'll, and there is no rea-
son in the world why it should not have
been done instead of leaving a mass of
ice for us to struggle over. It's bad
enough to have to walk eight or ten
blocks, or more, without having to
travel over sidewalks covered with ice,
or, what is worse, three or four inches
of slush 1t is remarkable what fac
ulty some men have of shoveling the
part of the walk they traverse going
down town and leaving all the rest
heaped with ice and snow.

MONTHLYSTOCK SALE
A Suggestion Which Should be
Considered by the Local Ad-
vancement Association.
WAUSAU OUGHT TO HAVE ONE.
Bring it up at the Next Meeting OF
the Association and Establish
it at Once.

One of the best suggestions that has
come to our notice TO make Wausau a
rendezvous for the farmer, and to
make it profitable to him as well as the
people at large, comes to the PLoT
from an old friend, who formerly re-
sided in this county, and who always
had an eye open to the welfare of our
city and county, and. besides, many OF
the good things which we are all en-
joying today can be traced to his care
full engineering. While the letter was
not written for publication, the Prior
can do no better than to publish parts
of the same. The local advancement
association should take up this matter
March 18th, 1900
DEAR FRIEND:
| notice that your people are very
much in earnest in developing the
Wisconsin Valley, Marathon county
and city, and that you have organized
local advancement association. This
is as it should be and / congratulate
you all. You will pardon me if make
suggestion. In this city they hold a
monthly stock sale. The farmer who
has any stock to sell, especially horses
bring the animals in, and men come
here from a. over this part of state to
make purchases. Some days as many
| as fifty horses change hands. The
county seat is the natural place for
anything of that kind. 1t occurred to
me that If the association would take
hold of it and assume the active man.
agement, they could bring a great
many dollars to the city. As mere
starter, suppose it should be advertised
that on certain day each month, you
would have regular stock fair. That
| any person who had anything to sell,
horses, cattle, pigs, wagons or any
other farm implement, should be asked
to bring them in, and have it under
slOOQ ludl ~ NOuiu Dt regular dd1 VI
barter and sale. | believe the thing
could be so developed, with someone to
guide and direct and make a business
of 1t, so as to bring money to the city
and at the same time be great help to
the farmer as we'll How does the idea
strike youS 1t works very well here
and see no reason why it may not
with you. Get some modification OF
the ordinances if they interfere, so that
auctions could be had Get some man
who, without charge, would act as
auctioneer. Make it free to the farmers
and feel sure it could be made great
success. 1t is only one of the many
things that can be done to make every
one prosperous. Get the farmers to
understand that there will be no ex
pense to them and you would soon find
they would have a kindly feeling
toward the city, trade would be in
creased, and everyone would be hene
/ fitted.

To Postpone Old AGE.

The latest theory is to apply cleo
tricity to the base of the brain. The
hardening of the arteries-the first
symptoms followed by a Crumhling

produces the mental characteristics of
old age. Not alone does this treatment
restore the feelings of youth. but pro
duces the appearance of it. While hun
dreds of experiments have been pre-
sented, there is but one way of pro
longing youth, and that is by the pres
ervation of health. For this purpose.
