STORY OF TOUGH LUCK.
Southern Brothers who Have Twice
Missed Great Fortunes in
Boring for OIL.

There are two meh in Texas who
are gritting their teeth, and swearing
between grits, nowadays, says a Gin
cinnati Enquirer correspondent.
The two men are brothers, and
they missed a fortune. They owned
the land on which the famous Lucas
gusher was struck at Beaumont, Tex,
and gave it up only short time be-
fore the fortunate owner struck his
bonanza. They settled on the land
about year ago and drilled for oil.
At a depth of about 700 feet they
struck flow of ten or fifteen bar
rels a day, and then sat down to rest
and enjoy their income. Ten barrels
day wasn't much, and they finally
got tired and went to Silver Lake tc
see if they couldn't do better They
land for a small sum, and were high
ly pleased with the change of terri
tory when they struck little larger
flow at Silver Lake. When they were
busy congratulating themselves on
their good luck the aLucas well was
sunk on the former property to dis
tance of /, ,400feet, and the biggest gush-
ereverknownwas struck. If those two
brothers had gone down 900 or 700
feet more they would have been
worth millions to-day, instead of plug
ging along with little old 20-barrel
well.
That isn't their first experience,
either. A few years ago they bought
some land in West Virginia and
cleared off the timber, making quite
tidy sum. They sold the land for a
few thousand dollars and went to
Texas to hunt for oil. Iron was dis
covered on the West Virginia land
shortly after they disposed of it, and
$1,oO0,00o wouldn't buy it now. These
two men certainly bave cause to be-
wall their luck

MEXICAN GHOST STORY.
Woman who Had Been Regarded as
Dead for Five Years COnfesses
to q Priest.

A curious story comes from small
town in the state of Puebla, reports
Mexico correspondent of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal. A mission
ary priest named Patre Pimentel, stay
ing there, stated in a sermon he
preached that he was visited by
youth named Daniel Diaz, who begged
him to go to his house and confess his
sister, who had been dead five years,
"and who had appeared to him, be-
seeching him to call on the mission
aries to assist her out of purgatory."
The padre says that, despite the
fears which were aroused by this
strange request, he determined to go,
and took for his companions Mariana
Mellado and two sacristanes. On
reaching the house, which was a
gloomy place, he was conducted to
cheerless room, where he seated him
self and Immediately became aware
of floating vaporous figure, while at
the same time he heard "creaking of
bones" The wretched young woman
made her confession, and, on being
absolved, disappeared suddenly.
The padre states that the awful ex-
perience brought on severe illness,
but that since his recovery he has de-
termined to make the fact known, that
others may not be exposed to the
same long durance in purgatory for
want of absolution.
The news of this occurrence has
spread like wildfire, and the mission
aries have been the recipients of hand
some contributions since it took place.

BODY FOUND.

The body of Hans Anderson, drowned
at Brokaw a week ago Sunday, was
found Friday afternoon by Allan
Mccormick, of Wausau and Mr.. Oleson,
of Brokaw The remains of the unfor-
tunate man were found about one mile
from where the drow ming took place.
CoNner Dickens held an inquest over
the remains and nothing new developed
except to explode the suicide theory,
which was first advanced. Mat Gan
non, who was in the boat at the time
Anderson fell in, stated that they had
beep drinking considerable beer, and
this probably accounts for the accident,
for an accident it was proclaimed by
the jury's decision. Gannon's memory
was clouded but as near as he could
remember Anderson stood up in the
boat and fell over bac kward and was
drowned. He was alb out 40 years of
age and had been employed at the De
Voc granite quarry at Heights for some
time and has no relatives in this coun-
try so far as is known. The remains
were buried Thursday event ng.

FAIR NOTES.

The whole county has been thorough
ly billed and the prospects are for the
largest attendance of farmers ever
known in the history of the fair.
Apple tree Barnes, of Waupaca, will
make an exhibit of apples and other
fruits and also full exhibit of nursery
stock at the fair. Mr.. Barnes has a
large nursery at Waupaca. The man
agement of the fair has been CORE
spending with Mr. Barnes for some
time TO induce him to make this exhibit.
1t will be a fine chance for farmers
wanting good trees to see just what
each variety produces, and what Mr..
Barnes stock is. His trees are all north
ern Wisconsin grown and therefore
thoroughly acclimated to this section,
and he is near enough so that in case
his stock should not turn out as repre-
sented he must make matters right as
he is practically home dealer, looking
for a home market. None of Mr..
Barnes fruit will compete for premi-
ums, he comes here just to advertise
his stock.
B. +. Mcmillan has promised to bring
his herd of red polls to the county fair.
The old citizens picnic will be held
at the fair grounds on the last day of
the county faiIS Friday Sept. 6, Basket
picnic at noon of that day.

TERRIBLY MANGLED.
Remains of Man Found on st. Paul
- Tracks.

Early Friday morning the remains OF
man were found scattered along the
st. Paul tracks for a distance of forty
rods just this side of Brokaw. Mike
McCormack's logging train was on its
southwark passage, and while pulling
up the hill south of the paper mill,
Pond, the engineer, saw mans leg
lying between the rails. The train
could not be stopped then on account
of the time that would have been lost
by regaining start for the up grade.
Pond told his fireman to pull to the top
of the hill and wait, while he went back
and Investigated. Going back he
found pieces of human being scat
tered along the tract for distance of a
quarter of a mile and up the track a
distance and between the rails was the
trunk of man, in appearance horrible
TO behold. The engineer thought it
impracticable 70 attempt to gather up
the mutilated remains, and so boarded
his engine and came through to Wau-
sau, when w. c. Dickens, coroner, was
notified of the find. The coroner, in
company with the train crew and an
undertaken, went up to the scene of the
accident, taking with him box, into
which the remains were placed, after
being gathered up. The top of the
mans head had been cut off and his
brains knocked out, both arms were
severed from his body and the hands
were also cut off, his right leg was torn
off and his entrails scattered. He was
identified by some of the paper mill
hands as Chas. Schmidt, an emplOye in
the wood room of the paper mills. He
had been working there since early
spring and was about 35 years of age,
and whether he had any relatives in
this country is not known. He was
last seen the evening previous and had
been drinking considerable, and it is
supposed that he laid down on the
track to sleep, for he had removed his
shoes. Four trains pass, two each way,
during the night, and just which one of
these struck Schmidt perhaps will nev
er be known. In the afternoon cor
oner's jury was empanelled composed
of the following gentlemen r. N.
Larner, Theo. Steltz, Louis Gross, VIM.
Wilson, NJ. Dickens and Joe Clairmore.
After viewing the remains the jury ad-
journed until Saturday morning, when
it reassembled, and after listening to
testimony offered, reached the decision
that deceased came to his death by
being accidentally run over by train.
By direction of the coroner the re-
mains were inferred in the Wausau
cemetery the same day of the accident.

RURAL MAIL ROUTES.

Beginning on Aug. 1st, two rural
mail routes were established at the
Wausau post office, and they arc now
in successful operation. Route No. l
begins at city limits, on the west side,
Merrill road, and follows the main road
north and west to three and one-half
miles west of Taege's corner, then
south striking the Rib Falls road one
mile east of Sfettin P. o., and on that
road east to city limits.
Route No. 2 is east of city, beginning
at city limits on east hill, following the
Smith road to two miles east of Sunset,
then north three miles, then west two
to John Kennedys corner, then south
two miles to Weber's corner and to
city limits by Nutterville. Both Sun
set and Nutterville post offices have
been discontinued.
The farmers not only receive their
mail daily but carriers carry stamps
for sale. Also each carrier carries with
him register books and register letters,
and accepts money, giving a receipt
for same. This is turned in to money
order clerk, who issues money orders, re-
turning it to patron or mailing it as
they may wish. This is great conven-
ience for those along the rural route, as
all business heretofore done only at the
post office can now be done with the
carriers
Our city delivery of mail will soon
be improved and extended. DR.. Trevitt
received word from the department
that at last his recommendation for two
more city carriers had been granted
and that on Oct 1st two more carriers
would be installed This will give an
earlier distribution of mail in the busi-
ness part of city, two deliveries in some
residence districts where only one is
now made, and much more complete
delivery in the city outskirts. The
postmaster has long known the insult
ficiency of the number of carriers, and
at the end of every quarter has made
1OI anu
through perseverance has at last sue
ceeded and now hopes to make our city
service equal to the best
This move will necessitate the laying
out of new routes which will be done
before October 1st, the old carriers
routes being considerably shortened.
AS to who the new carriers will be it is
not yet known, but it is quite probable
that f. A. Dunn, sub-carrier, will be
one, and a Mr.. Carlson is also on the
list of eligibles, while number of
9th ers some time ago took the civil SER
vice examination, but their standings
have not, as yet, been given out. The
selections must be made from the list of
eligibles.
