ACKN0WL LEDGEMENT,

In consideration of the beautiful gift
OF pottery set to Mayor Louis Mar
chetti recently by the Modern Wood
men as an appreciation of his services
on Woodman Day, August 1st, the
mayor has submitted the following
acknowledgement:
WAUsAU, Wis, August 10, 1901.
To the Executive Committee and the
Members of the Wausau Camp, No.
1854, NJ w. of A.
GENTLEMEN 4 gratefully acknowl-
edge the beautiful present which you
have seen fit to make to me, as also the
letter accompanying the same, which is
highly valued for the expression of kind
sentiments towards me.
To say that | was taken by surprise
would hardly express my feeling when
| came home and found the gifts, both
the present and the letter, because for
what little assistance | had rendered
you, thought myself fully compensated
by the satisfaction | had of having the
privilege of welcoming the largest
assemblage of guests that ever came to
Wausau.
Let it not be said hereafter that the
office of mayor of our city is without
remuneration, for any man may be
justly proud of the honor of represent
ing our city on so great an occasion,
and still be the recipient of so fine a
present and so kind letter.
Let me assure you that | will not fail
to make use of your gift, and when so
doing, will not forget to remember your
order.
Thanking from the bottom of my
heart, and wishing that your associa-
tion may continue to prosper and
flourish. am yours,
Very respectfully,
LOUIS MARCHETTI.

parents on east Hill, left the city early
in July and went to Tomahawk, where
she secured employment as a domestic

of the house she accidentally over
turned can of kerosene and the oil
saturated her lower clothing. Without
changing clothes she still Kept at her
work and few minutes later, while
near the range, the kerosene became
ignited and she was enveloped in flames.
The other domestics ran to her assist
ance and tore the clothing from her
body but not before she had received
burns that ultimately proved fatal.
Her body from the waist down was
burned in terrible manner and after
lingering in hospital for two weeks,
during which time she suffered the most
excruciating pain, she died on Monday
last. Her remains were brought here
for interment and the funeral took
place last Wednesday morning from
the Polish Catholic church. Deceased

Within the next two months the
government will close out its bust
ness of educating Indians by contract,
and th~enceforth will retain practical
" the whole control and conduct of
the matter. The change from the old
system to the new began in 1895, when
Congress passed a law providing for
sectarian schools, the decrease being
twenty per cent each year. Mean
time, as the cutting of Of this aid de-
prived Indian boys and girls Of the
privileges which they had enjoyed
for them in government schools, the
attendance in which has increased
from fourteen to twenty-five thous-

Of a.thousand a year. The next step
contemplated by the government is a
measure Of compulsory education for
young Indians. It is a pleasure. to
note that Hampton Institute, being en-

sitting for this term to-day, and will
then adjourn until October. No one
outside the members. Of the court
knows positively whether .there will be
an opinion handed down in the Porto
Rican cases. The department Of JUS

the counsel for the prosecution Of these
cases. The members Of the court are
known to have given much attention
to these cases in the last six weeks. 1t
is also known that several members Of
the court have been at work upon indi-
vidual opinions. It has been the be-
lief of government attorneys that the
court would hand down a majority
opinion in favor of the governments
position that the cession of Porto Rico
and the Philippines in the treaty Of
Paris did not make those islands in

the Constitution controlling congress

certain that the court will not be
united upon any opinion, but that there
will be several dissenting opinions.

appeared in what is now the Thames
