Thursday morning, Memorial Day,
opened cloudy and slightly chilly, with
threatened rain showers, and shortly
before o'clock in the afternoon, i'm
mediately following the ceremonies, a
fine rain began to fall which continued
for about half an hour Nearly every
one who went to the cemetery had UNI
brellas, and so the shower did little
damage to the ladies' hats or the mems
starched collars. Shortly after the din
ner hour crowds began to congregate
on Third street, in front of the court
house square, where the parade was to
form and the line of march be taken
mp, and when the parade finally started
it seemed as if about twO-thirds of
Wausau's population followed it to the
cemetery, where the concluding cere-
monies were held, the reason, no
doubt, of such large turnout was that
though the weather was threatening it
was cool enough so that person could
take comfort in walking
The line of exercises at the court
house was not as elaborate as in former
years, the program usually executed by
the school children being eliminated.
Co. g and Cones band marched up
Third street and halted at the intersec
ton of Scott at 1:30, where several
patriotic airs were played. The band

monument on the square and formed a
circle about it. Here they were ad

COMMANDER AND COMRADES =
Looking around me and seeing this
multitude of people gathered together
pursuant to our invitation for the puF-
pose of assisting us in doing honor to
the memory of those of our Comrades
who perished those who sacrificed their
lives so that the Nation might live, and
when then consider that throughout
this broad land, without distinction as
to geographical or political lines, SINH
lar gatherings are had for the same
purpose, i cannot but feel somewhat
proud that you and |, my Comrades,
were permitted to be instrumental, uu-
der the guidance of an all ruling PrOvi-
deuce, in assisting in our humble way
to bring about that glorious result that
today we are one great American Ma
ton, and | also feel grateful that you
and /, my Comrades, at this time, 40
years after the shot fired ut Fort Sum
ter electrified the whole country, are
permitted to enjoy the result of this
glorious achievement.
The history of mankind from the re-
mOtest period of which we have any
knowledge, illustrates that there always
has been a continuous struggle between
feudalism, usurped power, tyranny and
its allies on one side and the great
masses striving for liberty on the other
side. Our American history is true
example of such strife. In fact, the
history of the inception, growth and
development of the United States, is
the most wonderful drama ever writ
ten.
The Stage for the drama has been
the North American Continent:
The Actors, the American People;
The Audience, the World at large;
The motive underlying the drama,
the evolution of liberty.
just go back and consider that in
l776, at the time of the Declaration of
independence, there were 13 colonies,
containing Il population of about three

August Kickbusch was born at Col
berg, in the Province of Pomerania,
Prussia, Oct. Is, 1928, son of F. Mar
tin and Katrina Kickbusch, and was
one of hve children. They were :
Marie, wife of Herman Marquardt, of
this city; Ferdinand, also of Wausau;
Caroline, wife of Frank Radiant, of Kill
bourn City; Frederick, OF Wausau, and
the subject of this article. August at
tended the public schools in his native
land, and served an apprenticeship
as brick maker and worked at that
trade until 1857, when he left that coun-
try and came to America, his parents
preceding him by two weeks. He ar
rived at Quebec, Canada, and then
came to Milwaukee. A few days later
he started out on foot for Wausau and
walked the entire distance. He pur-
chased 354 acres of land in this county
in what is now the town of Hamburg,
but as the land could not be reached
by wagon road, he went back to Mil
waukee, where he spent three years in
driving q team. In 1860 he purchased
a wagon load of supplies, such as are
used in new country, and started out
for Wausau. When he reached this
place, which was then called Big Bull
Falls, he sold his outfit at fair profit
and returned to Milwaukee for his
family and household belongings. The
country being a wilderness the family
were forced to camp at night along the
roadside, the other members sleeping
in the wagon, while Mr.. Kickbusch
slept underneath the same. Arriving
here Mr.. Kickbusch erected q shanty on
Clarke's island at about the spot where
Livingston's warehouse now stands. In
the fall of that year he began trading
with the Indians, receiving from the
latter, furS and other articles which he
sold in Milwaukee, In 1862 he pur-
chased the property at the corner of
First and Washington streets, and in
1865 he erected another building on the
same and entered extensively into the
grocery, hardware and crockery bust
ness. This property he occupied until
along in the 90s when he sold out to
his sOn-in-law, Anton Mohr, and then
entered exclusively into the wholesale
grocery business in brick building
just across the street. In 1899 he sold
this property to the Northwestern R. r.
Co. and erected the present large build
ing opposite the city han, and on Aug.

Last Tuesday afternoon as the PILOT
was going to press we received an an
nouncement by telephone that Aug.
Kickbusch had just passed away, and
as it was then too late to give detailed
account of his life and death. we de-
ferred the matter until this issue.
He died at about four O'Clock, and
his death came not as surprise Tor the
end had been momentarily expected
for several days. He was taken sick IN
mid-winter, and for about four months
he fingered along, and though his
strong vitality bore him up, 1t was
plain to be seen that it would be but a
question of time when he must join the
great majority.
Nh Kickbusch was one of the best
known men in Wausau, and also IL
Marathon county. He had lived here
so long and his business dealings, to-
gether with his part in the development
of this county, are responsible for this
wide range of acquaintanceship. He
was kindly in character, and many a
poor family of emigrants will remem-
ber with gratitude some courtesy ex-
tended to them through Aug Kick
busch. The story of his life demon
strates what is within the power OF a
man to accomplish who starts out, as
he did, of humble means, but with a
1
termination through life until he retires
with a goodly share of this worlds
goods.

JEFFRIES COMES
TO COMPLETE HIS
TRAINING WORK
Has Established Himself in
Oakland and Will Use the
Reliance Club Gymnasium

James ]. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world, arrived in
Oakland last evening. The big fellow
presented a hearty appearance. His
clothes did not fit his athletic form as of
yore, and the champion apologized for
this, explaining that he'll has reduced him.
self by heavy training at Hardin Springs.
Jeffries' trip from the, health resort was
without accident. That there was none
was due to the care exercised by Billy
Delaney, the big fellows trainer. De-
laney had a heart to heart talk with the
stage driver before starting on the eight
een-mile journey through the mountains.
Billy at the outset admitted that the
driver was skilled and he knew it, but he
did not want an exhibition of fancy dri V
Ing for fear of an accident. Delaney or
dered the manipulation of the reins to take
his time and not go round curves on two
wheels. The driver was impressed with
the importance of his contract and drove
slowly and carefully.
AT every stopping place along the route
the citizens came out to see the big fell
low. They admired his proportions and
debated his chances in the coming fight
Many presumed an acquaintanceshlp with
Jeffries and grasped his mighty right.
Jim stood the ordeal in good fashion.
Throughout the long journey to the city
he skyIarked and raised his voice in song
Delaney was delighted with this display
OF spirits, because 1t presaged that his
man was not worrying.
Jeffries was accompanied by Bob Arm
strong, Billy Delaney, Jack Jeffries,
kid" Eagan, George Miller and Colonel
Fulton j. Berry of Fresno, The cham
pion took quarters at the Hotel Metro
pole, where he will stay until after the
battle.
Eugene Van Court met the champion
when he alighted from the train and the
two old friends cordially greeted eacn
other. Jeffries told Van Court he never
felt better in his life. He asked the latter
if he had secured any bets yet, and Van
Court informed him the betting was light.
Jeffries brought down handsome pair
of antlers as evidence of his prowess as
a hunter. He presented them to John
Markowitz. Jeffries' baggage was heavy
He had five trunks filled with wearing
apparel, gymnasium apparatus and SOU
venirs gathered in the last five years.
In the evening the champion went To
the Dewey Theater. He retired at IL
o'clock. Jim will be up early this morn
ing and take a jog over the Oakland
streets. He will begin work at the Reli-
ance Club at 1880 a. m, and will also eS
ercise in the afternoon.
1t is his intention to box Armstrong and
his brother alternately. He wants them
to work fast, and by giving them four
minutes rest after each round expects to
get the desired speed. The champion re-
ceived several pairs of boxing shoes from
the East last evening.

RUHLIN'S HEART
ACTION SL0WEST
RECENTLY NOTED
Is Absolutely Healthy and
Resembles That of Napo-
leon in Number of Its Beats

In addition to being an aspirant for
heavyweight championship hOnors in the
prize ring Gus Rubin claims other dis
tinctions. He says his pulse is gated
lower than that Of any other healthy
man alive. Ruhlin's natural heart action
Is only AZ beats to the minute. In this
he resembles the great Napoleon. Cham
pion Jeffries also has an exceedingly low
pulse. A renowned New York heart spe-
cialist has said 1T helped him both in his
training and in his battles Just why
low pulse is a favorable circumstance in
a fighters makeup only a physician who
has studied it carefully could say. JEFF
fries, heart action is usually about u
beats to the minute.
DIR. Charles A. Clinton, who made a
physical examination of Jeffries at Har-
bin Springs for The Call. visited Blank
ems yesterday. Gus was sitting the
veranda with his manager, Billy Madden.
and some friends when the physician
called. The conversation quickly turned
TO JeffrieS. DR.. Clinton had spent several
days with the champion and had much
information about JEFF and his training,
all of which was eagerly listened to by
Gus and his friends. In speaking of Jeff's
wonderful physical condition DR.. Clinton
incidentally mentioned that he had the
lowest pulse he had ever noticed in an
athlete.
Rubin invited the doctor to feel his
pulse. DR.. Clinton took the big fellows
wrist and encircling it with his pulse
feeling finger, noted the beats When the
physicians watch had clicked of half
minute his face became a study. First
it was an expression of apprehension and
then one of wonder and perplexity. When
DIR. Clinton had taken the pulse min
ute he said: why that beats anything
/ ever saw" Gus asked him how many
beats he had recorded and the physician
told him As. We'll, that's two more than
usual said Gus, lit generally only
counts 4S.
DIR. Clinton was surprised at the COIN
cidence of the slow heart action of the two
heavyweights. Ruhlin's heart is normal
and absolutely healthy.
Rubin basked in the sunshine until
o'clock, when he went to the gymnasium
and worked out strongly. The room pre-
scented busy scene. Rubin punched the
Gag In one corner. Lavigne hammered
a leathern sphere in another. Tom Her
man skipped rope and swung dumb bells,
and Denver Ed Martin fitted about the
room. Rubin punched the bag for sew
eral three-minute rounds. He also took
his usual inning at the heavy grain sack
He worked an hour. Rubin will prob
ably omit his afternoon gyulna SUM work
to-day and substitute trip on the road
instead.

The Supreme Court decided yesterday
that the Pacific Coast Company should

paid this amount in excess of it's legal
taxes, and upon the recommendation OF

was commenced The Superior Court up
reversed.

pany, but was delinquent in the payment
of premiums at the time of his death. The
lower court held that the company was
liable for the amount of the insurance

for such an opinion and orders a new
trial.
