LET THERE BE LIGHT.
Arcs Should be Rearranged and Some
Placed at Our Churches.

The new administration which tales
hold of the reins of our city government
today, will be besieged on every side,
no doubt, to do many things that will
tend to the improvement Of things in
general; the Prior can think of moth
ing more urgent just now than the
changing about of a few are lights, so
that their bright rays may be more
evenly distributed, and the low down
villain, who sneaks around in dark
places to Insult ladies, when they pass
by, may thereby be driven away, espec-
tally from the vicinity of public places
There should be an electric light on
avery corner where there is a church
This could be done BY taking arcs from
places where there is now absolutely
no use for them. Only last night, one
Of these sneaking villains stood in the
dark shadow of one OF our churches,
and when two ladies came out of
church and passed by, he followed
them up badly frightening them. He
should have had received horse whip
ping for his insults and would have
gotten il had there been enough light
to have recogazed who it was. But
there is no reason why there should not
be plenty of light about our churches.

FRANK BABCOCK DEAD.
Passes Away Last Sunday Evening
at His Home in This City.

The citizens of Wausau were startled
Mondy morning to learn of the death OF
Frank Babcock, which occurred at his
home on Forest street, at 1890 o'clock,
of appolexy. He seemed to be In his
usual state of health up to a short
time previous to his death when he
complained of not feeling well, he went
to bed and shortly after was taken with
a fit of coughing; when asked how he
felt, answered i guess this the end OF
me-" A physician was sent for but be-
fore he arrived death came. This was
great shock to Franks many old
time friends in Wausau, and he has
! many here, for he came to Wausau to
reside, with his parents, when mere
boy. His father was j. III. Babcock,
who, for some years operated the
Forest House in this city and later was
Register of Deeds of this county. Mr.
Babcock died about thirty years ago,
and Mrs. Babcock some years after
wards was united in marriage to Henry
French, and died about two years ago.
Until the time of leaving here, which
was when he was twenty-five year old,
Frank was finely developed man and
in the full possession OF his health.
Old citizens thus remember him and
have always bad warm place in their
hearts for the good-natnred, big
hearted, generous Frank Rabcock.
Frank n Rahcock was born in West
ford, n. T., on the goth day of Novem.
Der, 1850 He came TO WausaH with
his parents when sin years of age, and
lived here until he reached the age OF
twenty-five years-with the exception
of short time in which he lived at
Knowlton, when his parents conducted
a hotel there. From here he went to
Topeka, Kansas, after remaining there
| five years he returned and lived here
four years and then went to Winona,
Mimi. On the 1st of August,
1890, he was kicked by q horse which
resulted in paralyzing his entire left
sue. w Hilc uc HupI ONCu 50 blldb nC
could get around he has never been
able to do anything since that time.
He came back to Wausau last Decem-
Der and has lived here since that time.
He was united in marriage to Electa
Brown, at Knowlton, in 1873, who sur,
wives him, and their union was blessed
with six children, four of whom are
living, as follows: j. Harvey, Miss
Mamie, Fred and Frank, Dr., all of
this city. Deceased is also survived by
the following brother and sisters /
John g. Babeock and Mrs. j. T. Wink
ley, of Spokane. Washington; Mrs. 4.

house this afternoon, the Rev. w. o.

CONGRESSMAN STEWART
DROPS OUT OF THE RACE.

From the Milwaukee papers of today
it is learned that Hon. Alexander Stew
art will not again be candidate for
Congress in this district. 1t seems that
this has been his wish and he so ex-
pressed himself to his political friends
last fall Mr. Stewart writes to the
Milwaukee Sentinel as follows in refer
erence to the matter:
Il have for some time decided not to
be a candidate for denomination, but
did not believe it advisable to make the
announcement till later. Now that
the question is put directly to me by
The Sentinel and considering the fact
that to-day wrote a number of letters
to friends in different parts of the dis
trlct saying that it was my purpose
soon to make announcement not to be
candidate, will say so now. 1t was
my desire to take time to write my
friends, thanking them for their kindly
support IN the past and notifying them
of my intentions. Having written to
them to that eject it is now well
enough to answer the question directly
and say that / shall not only decline a
denomination, but under no circum-
stances allow the use of my name.
1T is especially desirable that |
should say this in view of the fact that
counties in the district have made ex-
pressions in my favor, and it is fair that
the people of the district should know
of my intention AS there is evidently
gossip in the state about the matter, /
will settle it now
II have reached this conclusion SIM
ply on account of my private business
and my desire not longer to remain in
congress. / am thankful to my friends
in the district for their feality in the
past and their offers of further support,
but it is my desire to retire and / be-
lieve that this is good time to carry
out that resolution"
Web Brown, of Rhinelander, and
o. A. Sanborn, of Ashland, have al
ready declared themselves as candidates
for the position up to date, and there
are many more to follow. 1t is thought
that the honor will be conferred upon
some able man in the eastern part of
the district.

THE SICK LIST.
1t is Very Large, and Many Are Ser
iously Afflicted.

The past few weeks have been very
prolific of sickness. The trouble seems
to be mostly pneumonia, but there have
been quite a number cases of paralysis ::
The following is mention of those
sick and their conditions:
Mrs. Peter Hunt is reported very sick
with pneumonia.
j. A. Jones has been on the sick list
the past week. He is now improving.
Mrs. Otto Schochow, who has been
sick with pneumonia, is now able to sit
up and is improving.
Mr. and Mrs. w. w. DeVoe have been
very sick the past week with pneu-
monia. Both are improving.
DR.. E. NJ Kanouse has improved
from his late illness so as to be able to
be up and around his home
Edward Rice, whom we reported as
being very sick, in our last issue, is
now out of danger and improving.
John Youles has recovered sufficient
ly from his late illness to be able to go
to his home on Little Rib, which he did
on Sunday.
Miss Marion Ryan continues to inn
prove, and her brother, Jamie Ryan,
who was so critically Ill last Tuesday
with pneumonia, is now improving and
out of danger.
Mrs. Peter st. Austin was taken SER
iously i'll last Thursday night with
pneumonia. Her condition improved
up to Sunday night, but yesterday
morning she grew worse and is now
very low.
Rev. Reinecke, formerly pastor of St.

general breaking down and slight
stroke of paralysis with it. Mr. Rein
ecke is well along in years-in the sew
entities.
Charles w. Nutter, one of Wausau's
oldest and most respected citizens, who
is city surveyor, was taken suddenly i'll

is under the care of DR., Willard and at
the present writing he is much inn
proved and will regain his sight.
For several months past. j. G. Kuhl-
man, assistant postmaster, has not been
very well. In the beginning he barely
escaped pneumonia, this left him with
a bad cough which has stayed right
by him. Last Thursday he took yaca
ton from his duties and will spend a
time in recuperating. During his abb
sence, Gus Ringle is attending to his
work at the post Office.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. HUll, of White.
water, parents of Mrs. A. w Mumm,
have been spending the winter
here with Mr.. and Mrs. Mnmm. Last
Friday morning, MIR. Hull was stricken
with paralysis which rendered his whole
right side useless, and since that time
he has recovered very little use Of the
same. His physician thinks ncw that
he win partially. if not fully recover,
but it will take some time. Dir. Hull
has been in Wansau good deal, of
and on, for the past few years and is
well known, and has made many warm
friends who are deeply grieyed to learn
of his sickness, but hope for his early
recovery.
