THE OPENING GAME.

Providing the weather man deals
leniently with us, there will be large
crowd in attendance at the opening
game of base ball at Warren Park Sun
day afternoon between this city and
Marshfield. The boys will parade out
to the grounds at one O'Clock, or short
ly after, and the game will be called at
three o'clock sharp. A great many of
the Wausau players have arrived, and
are undergoing practice daily so that
the team will be in good condition to
meet Inc visitors from Slotmachine-
vile. We have been unable to get
the make up of the Marshfield team but
herewith give the lineup of the Wau-
sau team, subject to change, however.
Catcher-Ed. Jess, Southern League.
Pitcher-J. w. Mahaffey, Interstate
League.
1st base-Hassman, Milwaukee City
League.
end. base-W. f. Wolf, University of
Michigan.
Sd base-Emil Papenfuss, Wausau.
Shortstop-Chas. Bebeau, Tomahawk.
Right tield-Jas. NoiseauX, Wausau.
Center tleld-A. Nassau, Milwaukee
City League.
Left feId-"Duder Baerwald, Wau-
sau.
The team will be strengthened per-
haps within week by other players,
whom Sec'y Underwood now has on
the string. 1t is reported that Marsh
field has a strong aggregation under
the captaincy of John Thomas and
therefore good game is booked for
Sunday.

ANSWERS THE UNIONS.
Another Old Settler Gone to Her
Reward.

On Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
Mrs. Augusta Engel died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs Valentine RinGle.
ON Grand Avenue, the cause OF death
being complications resultant of old
age. She had been an invalid for about
three years, and Deaths visitation was
not unexpected, for she had reached
that point in life's pathway where the
traveller becomes weary and so it was
that she laid down the burden of this
earth's trials and cares.
Mrs. Engels maiden name was Anna
lie Wenslow. She was born at Falken-
burg, in Germany on July %, 1916, and
was therefore in her 85th year. She
was married in Germany in 1S43, to
Aug. Engel, and children blessed the
union, three of whom died in that coun-
try. The family came to this country
in March, 1856 and settled on farm near
Sank City. After p years residence on
the farm the members removed to Mil
waukee, where Mr.. Engel became en-
gagged in the watch making business.
1t was here that the youngest child,
AN only boy, died. In 1861 the family
came to Wausau and this has been their
home ever since, with the exception
of the year 1868, spent at Weyauwe
So VI "h' ~ AOOp3 All
died, since which time deceased
has made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Valentine Ringle. Nine years ago
Mrs. Engel suffered an attack of the
grippe and as a result lost her eyeslght.
Three years ago she had q fall and
broke her shoulder blade, and has been
an invalid ever since. Mrs. Engel, like
nearly all early settlers of her time, was
kindly in spirit, resourceful and filled
with that Christian fortitude which en-
abled her to forbear the trials of that
early period. Times hand fell lightly
upon her, though in recent years the
decline was more marked, and for some
years back since her blindness she has
been of a very retiring disposition, her
friends seeing little of her, and many
had not been aware of her serious ill
ness until appraised of her death.
Deceased is survived by two daugh
tiers, Mrs. Valentine Ringle and Mrs.
Geo. Forster. The funeral was held
this Tuesday afternoon from the home
of the former on Grand Avenue. Rev.
f. Schaer conducting the services.

DIVIDE HONORS.

The field meet held in this city last
Saturday, between Wausau and Grand
Rapids High Schools, resulted in vic
tory for neither team, each making II
points. The inclemency of the weather
had tendency to keep many away
from the grounds that would otherwise
have attended, but what was lacking in
numbers was fully made up in enthusi
asm by the rooters. In the following
events Wausau secured first place:
Mile run-Breitkreutz.
100 yard dash-SchOlfield.
l mile bicycle-Werlich
40 yard dash-Scholfield.
Half mile run-Breitkreutz.
220 yard dash-Scholfield
I mile bicycle-Fleming
220 yard hurdle-Breitkreutz.
Relay race -Wausau by default.
Hammer throw-Gilham.
The boys were handicapped in doing
fast work by the strong wind which
blew continuously, but as it was they
made a good showing. Lack of space
prevents US from giving the event the
write-up that it deserves.

CITY CHARTER.

A special meeting of the city council
was held on Friday evening last to con-
slider the matter of adopting parts of or
the whole of the general charter, as
provided by the state for cities of the
size of Wausa1. A discussion was had
as to the advantages which might or
might not accrue should the general
charter be adopted. The more the mat
ter was talked over the more it became
apparent to all present that the matter
was very important one, and it was
thought best to leave it for final action
until the regular meeting in June. So
it was moved that a committee of three,
with the city attorney, be appointed to
look the charter over and see what
parts should be adopted. Messrs. Rim
gle, Sell and Werle were appointed as
such committee.
The matter of appointing two new
members on the school board was post
poned until the June meeting.
The Alexander Stewart Lumber Com
pany gave the city the privilege of cut
ting down the Clarke Island south of
the Northwestern depot, and to have
the rock therefrOm. The offer was
accepted.

upon. but work will proceed with great
activity from now on.

BEAT THE GAME OAHU prison
MoNGoLIANs WHO
DIDN'T GAMBLE.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth's Wit
nesses Give Him Painful Surprise
in the Police Court.

Deputy Sheriff Chlllingworth's 80
Chinese defendants arrested for gam
bling all went free this morning. He
had to nolle PROSE- all the cases. for the
witnesses had changed their minds
about the alleged game, and one after
another they told the court that, great
ly to their disappointment there wasn't
any game in progress where they were
when the arrests were made.
Judge Wilcox's court looked like big
school room, when the trial began.
Benches were brought in front of his
honor and the 36 orientals sat in rows.
1t was an interesting collection of willy
MOngolians, all wearing cheerful smiles
that sat and prepared to hear the tes-
timony against themselves. Attorney
Robertson, representing the defendants,
got some note paper and, after reading
a demurrer which he did not argue and
which was ovcrruled, prepared to take
down the evidence.
The proceedings began with a nolle
PROSE- i'm the case of Chun Yum, who
had confessed and told the officer all
about the game. After being released
he was called as a witness. His tes-
timony was that he had gone to the
Nuuanu street resort where the arrests
were made, for the purpose of gam
bling, but he was greatly disappointed
IOI -tllSIt was HO game. ABOUT HIIy
Chinese were there, but not one of
them gambed. Chun was allowed to
go.
A nolle PROSE- was next entered in
behalf of All Qui and he was called
to the stand. All Qui was like Chun
Yum. He, too, had gone to Nuuanu
street, hoping to enjoy some paikow,
and great was his disappointment that
no game was going on. The 36 Chinese

waiting for bankers to come and begin
the game.
Qwong Fook Tai swore that there
was a game going on. This looked like
better evidence for the prosecution,
but 1t did no good Qwong wsNs ask
ed who was there and said he didn't
know. He could not say whether a
single one of the SO men was there or
not, for he had only peeped in.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth said
that in view of the fact that the wit
nesses had all changed their stories he
wanted to enter nolle PROSE- in each
case, and all the defendants were al
f0wed to go free

CAPTAIN AND. PRIVAE FIVE DEAD -FOUR INJURED
FIERCE FIGHT BETWEEN TWO
SOLDIERS.
A Discharged Soldier Meets a Captain
Whom He Says Ill Treated Him in
The Philippines.

A fierce fight between a captain of
infantry on board the transport In
diana and a private who served under
him in the Philippines took place late
yesterday afternoon near the fish
market. 1t was the result of a griev-
ance which the private had against the
officer for what the private claimed
was gross ill-treatment while in the
service.
The private tells an unusual story of
official severity. He declares that one
day when he was too i'll for sentry
duty he was forced to go on watch.
The army doctor did not give him the
proper paper to excuse him, and the
captain ordered him out. When he
fell at his post unable to stand, the
captain still insisted that the sickness
was a fake He stood the soldier up
by a post, tied him in a standing pos
ture, thrust a rifle into his hand and
kept him there two hours.
The man vowed that If he ever saw
the captain after being discharged on
American soil, he would get his revenge
and the two men met yesterday.
The officer is said to have been one
that started the fight He accosted the
private and charged him with his
threats challenging him to begin at
once. The private wanted the officer
to take off his captains coat first, but
the captain told him to go ahead and
not mind the uniform.
The officer struck the first blow, ac-
cording to the accounts of those who
saw the encounter. There was a bloody
fight and the captain got much the
worst of it,

Chinese WILL Be HOSTS
PREPARING FOR THEIR NEW
YEARS RECEPTION.
United Chinese Society and Bow Wong
Wui are to Keep Open House on
Monday.

The Chinese are busy preparing for
their New Years celebration next
week. The popular holiday will be on
Monday, the 18th, but the official day
of their new year is on Tuesday, the
18th. The Chinese do not take kindly
to every innovation however and this
change is one that has not met with
their approval.
There will be three general celebra-
ton places on Monday The Chinese
Theater will run day and night begin
ming on that day, for a week. The next
celebration will be held at the rooms
of the Bow Wong Wui on Kukui street
and College Lane, just in the rear of
st. Louis College. This reception will
last from 9 until IL in the morning. In
addition to the usual prodigality of
Chinese delicacies the Bow Wongs who
pride themselves upon the fact of their
being up to date will carry the enter
tainment into the kitchens of the west
ern naNons, as 1t were, as ice cream,
sandwiches, salads, coffee and delica-
cies of western cookery will be served
Immediately after the Bow Wong
Wui affair the rooms of the United
Chinese Society will open from II until
p. m. where another reception will be
held. All of the representatives of the
various countries, Governor Dole and
the territorial officials have been invit-
ed to attend and as they have attended
the receptions in the past the Chinese
expect them as guests this year. In
addition, there will be many private
citizens present. The rooms of the So
ciety are on King street near Nuuanu
The United Chinese Society has not
issued special cards of invitation, but il
extends its invitation to all friends
Receptions will be held at private
houses by the members of the Chinese
colony. Business will be practically
suspended by the Chinese.
On Tuesday the official new years viii
occur. Consul Yang Wal Pin may hold
reception but it is not thought thai
there will be ANYTHING elaborate.
