Otto Ringle and Fred Kuether, two
young theolOgians just graduated from
the Elmhurst Theological School, were
ordained as ministers at st. Paul's
church Sunday evening. The church
had been beautifully decorated and the
attendance was large. The ceremony,
which was impressive, was in charge of
Rev. Schaer, of ST. Paups, Rev. Wer-
hahn, of St. Stephens, and Rev. Lud-
wig, of Merrill. The choir singing was
beautiful, and a solo was sung by Mrs
Fred Kickbusch, Jr. The young men
were presented with handsome silver
communion service by their friends.
Ed. Rossier, formerly of this city, now
at Springville, Portage county, had an
exciting experience with trampS lately
His watch hung in vest in the grist
mill where he is employed, and during
his temporary absence tramp entered
and stole the watch He was seen leav-
ing the mill and as soon as Ed missed
his time piece he shOuldered a shot gun
and started in pursuit. He found a
gang of six trampS along the railroad
track, but had to make a gun play
before he recovered his watch The
culprit was taken in tow by Ed. and is
now confined in the Stevens Point JAIL
and will in all probability get free
ride to Waupun.
The cement walk laid in front of
Belanger & Struck's place on Third
street has been torn up by the contrac-
tor, G. w. Clark, and new one has
been laid. The trouble was that the
walk had warped and cracked in sew
eral places, and as Mr.. Clark guaran-
tees his walks he was forced to construct
new one. The fault was not his, how
ever, for a poor grade of cement was
furnished him by the company, and he
Cement company made MI. Clark's
extra expense good by furnishing him
with twenty-five barrels of a better
grade of cement.
