for peace among the people OF the
earth, and the speaker believed that the
initial step had been taken to bring
that about in the recent conference.
Herman A. Becker spoke upon ''The
Garbage Problem, confining his re-
marks mostly to the needs of Wausau
in that respect. He displayed lantern
views of our garbage gatherers of to-
day, dog teams in charge of small boys.
The occupation is one that tends
toward low standards in life, and the
boys engaged in it are often detected in
theft. They are compelled to gather
the garbage or swill by their parents,
and the record of these boys in the
schools is poor one, because they are
absent from their studies much of the
time. Mr.. Becker produced statistics
which showed what the standings of
these boys were and how much of the
school year they had been in attend
ance at the sessions. He believed that
something should be done Immediately
by the citizens of this city to stop the
swill gathering business, for an educa-
ton for the boys who gather it will
mean much more of profit aud remun-
GRAFTON in their ease than from any pecu-
MARY benefit received from the sale
of a few fat hogs each year.
This closed the interesting topics of
the evening, and the audience passed
out of the hall while the strains from
Bunch of Blackberries, by Holman,
were vibrant from the instruments of
the High School Orchestra
The program on Thursday evening
opened with the Brewster Waltzes,
by McClurg, which were excellently
rendered by the High School Orchestra
The first speaker of the evening was
Marion E. Ryan, who discussed Liter
ature and Life-Inner Life" The So
cial life of the same topic was dis
cussed on the former evening by the
salutatorian, Florence A. Harney.
Miss Ryan traced the growth of the in
ner, the spiritual, life of the English
people in the works of the writer's of
the times, beginning with Chaucer and
tracing the growing spirituality of the
people until it reached its climax in
Milton, who expressed such grand re-

ish- American war. 1t is the German
population of the country that has laid
the wreath of music upon the altar of
liberty, and thereby added to the rich
ness of the endowments of its people.
The rendition of 1--WE Freeborn Sons
of Wodan," by King, sung by the
chorus, was very good, and the baton
of leadership was held by Supt. Karl
Mathie, who directed the High School
chorus on this last evening
Fred A. Schmidt discussed Wireless
Telegraphy, giving an experiment
showing the same which made the
action of the ether waves very plain to
all Itwas only short time ago that
Signor Marconi began to experiment
with electricity to note the action of
ether waves, and before long he had
contrived to send and receive messages
for several miles, but beyond that the
influence of the waves could not be
controlled, although it is believed that
ere long something will be discovered
which will make the sending and re-
ceiving of a message in this manner
comparatively easy and simple. The
bene 5 of such rapid transit of mes
sages would be untold, and would rev.
olutionize the commercial world. Tel
egraphing without wires Is the method
that will be used in the future, and it is
one of the discoveries that will make
the nineteenth century famous for all
time.
The subject discussed by Gertrude
Heineman was '"The Stage" She
traced its history from the time when
plays were introduced by the clergy to
assist in teaching the ignorant the
stories pertaining to religion, down to
the plays as acted by Henry Irving and
others of today The first plays were
miracle and moral plays, which later
developed the comedy, the tragedy,
and the drama In the time of Shak
speare the play houses were very crude,
the stage being situated in the center
with open galleries all around it, the
stage only being covered. The stage
settings were left to the imagination of
the audience, and the end of each act
was made known by person who re-
cited a couplet which stated that fact.

record they had made during their
school life, urged them to be true to
the grand lessons they had learned,
and to show their appreciation of a
public school system that so thoroughly
prepared the youth for the duties of life.
G. d. Jones, President of the School
Board, in behalf of the people of Wau-
sau, added his congratulations to the
class and advised them as to their
future operations, giving them many
principles of action which, if followed,
will tide them over the rough places in
this world, and enable them to fulfill a
glorious mission in life He then pre-
sented to each member of the class a
well-earned diploma, remarking as he
concluded that the city of Wausau is
proud of the Glass of 1900 and of all of
its graduates, who without exception
are holding good positions and are hon.

the social intellectual and business
activities which surround them.
A short reception to the graduates
was held upon the stage at the close of

by Madge A. Haskin and Robert P.
Haslin, who by the way are twins.
They were supposed to be conducting
an employment agency in 1908, and to
them came several of their classmates
to secure positions, while others of
their number wrote from different To-
calities, stating the kind of vocation
they would like to fill or that which
they were already filing. The agency
had secured positions for the members
of the faculty, and its efforts toward
the placing of graduates were proving
very successful. The conversation be-
tween the conductors of the agency was
mirth- provoking, and many puns and
ckes at the expense of the graduates
were sprung.

School orchestra rendered Sweet and

Ralph McCrossen, valedictorian of
the class, spoke upon the suggestive
subject, Two Centuries" He noted
the progress made in all lines of human
effort durjrg the century just closing;
especially emphasizing the rapid strides
made by man in mechanics, in litera
tures in education, in moral and relig-
ious life and in the betterment of man.

nineteenth century would live in his
tory as having been the greatest in the
galaxy of centuries, as having witnessed
the greatest material and intellectual
progress of them all And what would
the twentieth century bring? A word

A MEMORABLE OCCASION.
Commencement Exercises of the Wausau
High School, on Wednesday and Thursday
Evenings.-2O Graduates. Pro-
grams aid Large Audiences.

The Sixteenth Annual Commence
ment of the Wausau High School, held
on Wednesday aud Thursday evenings,
June 18th and 14th, was a memorable
one in several respects. Itwas held in
the beautiful and commodious High
School Assembly hail; it marked the
closing commencement of a century
the most wonderful in the history of
the ages; it introduced several new
features, and the graduating class OF
twenty members acquitted itself very
creditably, causing the parents and citi-
zens to feel a growing pride in our pub
lie school system, which is coming to
be second to none when compared with
the other schools throughout the coun-
try. 1t was also the first graduating
class from the new High School. Classic
days shall again be with us; education
broadens and deepens the brow; intel
lectual energy is the lever that moves
the world, and that lever in the hands
of youth decides the destiny of future
centuries. Wausau shall contribute her
portion to that energy, and the echo of
her 81 shall" seems to breathe from
the very walls of her new temple of
learning.
The stage in the Assembly hall was
beautifully decorated for the Com
mencement exercises, palms and other
potted plants being tastefully arranged
on the right and left sides of the plat
form, leaving wide expanse in the
centre for the speakers ana tue High
School chorus. The piano and chairs
for the High School orchestra were
placed in front of and on the left hand
side of the stage, and back of them
were the row on row of chairs, extend-
ing back close to the line of windows.
at the rear end of the hall. Some idea
of the seating capacity of this mammoth.
room can be gained when it is learned
that all of the chairs from the Alexan-
der, Columbia and Armory halls We're
secured and placed there, making a
seating capacity so large that nothing
elsewhere in the city can compete with
it. Hanging over all, somewhat be-
yond where Que would naturally look
for it, was the class motto, at the north
end of the hall, which read: Our
future is based upon our ambition"

THE HOSPITAL SHIP
Surgeo Says the Ship is Fitted Com
 pletely

London, March 29-Sir William McCor- mack, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, who recently returned from South Africa, describes in The Lancet a visit which he paid to the American hos pital ship Maine, February 14th, over which Major Cabell conducted him. He says:
 "Everything that could be desired for the comfort of the wounded, both from a surgical and a nursing standpoint, is to be found in this vessel. Unfortunately the ship itself is not suitable for a hospital ship. The upper deck is good, but on the lower deck most of the ventilation has to be brought on by electricity fans.
 Lady Randolph Churchill, personally, is indefatigable in her attention and kindness to the patients, as are also the entire sur gcal and nursing staff Luxuries in the way of food, drink and clothing of every variety abound. Practically there is noth- ing which Tommy asks for which he IS unable to get. No word could be too good for the personnel, equipment and devoted care bestowed on the patients.

HE COULD HANG
 GOVERNOR TAYLOR Startling Story Printed in Re-
 publican Newspaper DIVULGES THE CONSPIRACY If Youtzey Will Tell What He Knows He Will be Made Comfortable
 for Life-Culton Will
 Make Confession
DIVULGES THE CONSPIRACY

Lexington, March 29.-The Morning Her ald Crepubllcan). this city, will print to- morrow the following special from Man chester, Ky:
 If Youtzey will tell what I think he knows he can hang Taylor and destroy the republican party. I feel sure that l can arrange for enough of the appropriation for Youtzey to make him and his Wife comfortable for the rest of their lives. Culton is going to confess in the morning, and Youtzey had better get in while he can."
 The above is what James Andrew Scott said at the Reeves house Monday night. He was addressing N. H. Witherspoon and Judge c. s. French, respectively, brother in-law and father-in-law of Youtzey. whom he mad asked to meet him there. "Seott said Youtzey would nave to leave the state because of the feeling aroused, but that he would have money to sweeten his exlle The story was told freely on the streets today, and Wibherspoon was seen by your correspondent last night and ask ed to confirm the rumors. Witherspoon said he had received a telephone message from Justus Goebel two weeks ago asking nlm 10 come 10 fIdHhIoFI dl OHCe, as hS had important revelations to make.
 q replied I would come down, and ar rived in Frankfort the same afternoon. GoeIoel told that be had ascertained facts tending to connect Youtzey with the Goebel assassination He said that Yout- Fey had run through the basement ol the executive building and out the rear door, holding his leg as if crippled and half cir cled the building and ran into the govern ors office."
 After he had made the statement I went to see Youtzey. His account tallied with Goebels statement. Youtzey added, however, that he had a revolver in the waist of his trousers, and that the weapon slipped down the pants leg just as he came out of the building. He bent over and ran into the governors office.
 He went on to state that he saw Goebe7 after Youtzey, told him of Youtzeys state ment of his actions; that Goebel was sat isfed Youtzey had no connection with the crime, but added Youtzey Knew things that should be told. Goebel then gave him to understand that nothing would be done garding Youtzey without notifying Wither- spoon, and told Scott substantially the same in his presence.
 He further explained:
 "On last Monday l received telephone message from Scott asking me to meet him at the Reese house on the quiet. Scott told us he was in position to save Youtzey, and was satisfied that he (Youtzey) could give information that would hang Taylor and destroy the republican party. I said Youtzey has told all he knows I said did not see how Youtzey could furnish the information wanted, and that not for ten times ~$l00,000 would l have him perjure himself''

TWO IMPORTANT ARRESTS MADE
Men Suspected of ConpIicIty in Safe Robbery Brought Here
 from AnniSton.

Two important arrests were made at An niston yesterday Two men, giving their names as F. M. Edwards and John Man ming. were taken into custody by the chief of police of that city and were brought to Birmingham by Chief Austin last night, and lodged in the city prison. The chief has reason to believe that they were in the gang that cracked the Standard Oil com pany's safe Tuesday night He also believes that they were implicated in the burglaries at Woodlawn, Avondale and Elyton.
 Yesterday morning these men boarded the east bound train at Avondale. B. F. PhIllips' special agent of the T. c. & l. company who was on the train. noticed that they acted in such a way as to arouse his sus- picions. He saw them hide in the closet im- mediately after the train pulled out? At the next station Phillips wired Chief Austin about them, and the chief immediately wired the chief at Anniston to look out Tor them, and hold them until he came up on an afternoon train.
 When tAe train carrying the suspects reached the junctaans-adsy Anniste. sse eV jumped off .s+asa;ie the train was moving. -sliilips got off at the station and informed the police of the movements of the men, The officers kept lookout for them,. but 1t was 3 o'clock before they were apprenend- ed. They were arrested on the street and locked up. Their story was that they were on their way to Macon.
 Chief Austin arrived in Anniston later in the evening and returned to Birmingham at 10:10 o'clock. When seen by an Age Herald reporter he said that at first lie only suspected his prisoners of being the men who burglarized the Avondale and Woodlawn postoffices, but that from re- llab.e information he had received since locking them up here he connected them also with the cafe blowing at Elyton and the Standard Oil eompany's office. He seemed to think, however, that they were not the men who fired on tae policemen.
 The reason he suspected them of being | the Avondale and Woodlawn burglars was l because after that crime they went to An niston with postage stamps for sale The
 man who gives his name as Edwards did | sell some stamps there below the govern
 ment price, and was arrested by the An nston police on suspicion but proof of guilt being insufficient, he was released. The men then disappeared.
 Chief Austin had no trouble in bringing | the prisoners to Birmingham, but he says | they were exceedingly rcticent Edwards | told one of the officers al police headquar- | ters that his -name was Frank Randolph He is about 9 years of age. He had S10 on his person when arrested. Manning is about 45 years of'a age, ana mas bad coun-' i tenance. He is a large man, and looks like a prize fighter. He talks like a foreigner.
 He had $13.50 in his pocket.
