Charles Kraatz, farmer of town
Hewitt, who was adiudged insane and
committed to the Northern Insane Asy-
lum at Oshkosh on Saturday, by Judge
Miller, was taken to that institution at
noon today by Sheriff Tom Malone.
w. b. Schollield is having extensive
improvements made on the interior of
his residence, in the way of e-painting,
re-papering, etc. "W b." attended
meeting of ward hustlers the other
evening, where the smoke was thick
enough to be cut up into chunks, and
while some were making frantic at
tempts to open doors and transoms for
a breath of pure air, he was as uncon-
oerned as you please and merely re-
marked, that it was far preferable to
the paint and varnish atmosphere in
which he had been compelled to live
the past few weeks.
You should have heard the applause
when Mr. Parlin, principal OF our High
School, announced yesterday noon, in
the school room, that Paul Boehm had
been chosen to close the joint debate
between Philomathia and Hesperia,
next year, at the Wisconsin University.
To be on the debate is a great honor,
but to close it is-well we are all proud
Of Mr. Boehm. This is the same posi-
ton that was given Otto Patzer few
years ago. We wish Mr.. Boehm sue
cese in his debate, and feel sure that if
his side is defeated it will not be from
want of work on his part.
Next Tuesday evening, March Goth,
the Waasau Light Guards will elect a
new captain in place of Captain Womer,

way when here last week said that Mr..
Abraham proved himself to be one of
the best captains of the Third regiment
during the Spanish-American war.
There " no company in better shape
that thau 20. &, of this city and Mr.
Abraham was entitled to great credit
for that condition of things
