Neenah Wis, Dec. 12.-W 'llian Hess,
well known character about town
was committed to the Northern hospital
for the insane Thursday. Hess has
been in the hospital before, but for the
past year has been about the city. Last
evening when Chief of Police Brown
and Officer LIE Roy in addition to an
attendant from the hospital attempted
to take Hess they met with stubborn
resistance upon the part of the man.
The instant that Chief Brown entered
the front door of the Hess home the
man left by the back door clad only in
scaut attire and before he could be
overtaken ran several blocks. He was
caught by officer lie Roy and refused
to return to his house and be dressed,
so it was necessary for the police officers
to dress him on the street.-Oshkosh

A SUGGESTION.

1t is a puzzhng question to most
people to solve what to present friend
for Christmas remembrance. A
good book is always acceptable. The
poems of Henry Mckay are on sale at
the stores of A. w. Mumm & Co. and
j Rohde, and the price is one dollar
per volume. The auther is a Wausau
young man and bis poems deal with
subjects in which we are all interested
The following are few extracts from
notices which have appeared concern
ing the writer and his book:
He is at his best in descriptive OF
semi philosophical poetry. We like
this book Minneapolis Times.
A close observer of Nature and all
her works.-Evening Wisconsin.
A good head on him. The writer is
strong on the beauties of nature. The
world will welcome real manly poet
a genuine follower of Homer, Shake
speare, Dante or Byron. Perhaps Mr.
Mckay will be the man. Let him try
Oshkosh Daily Northwestern.
They celebrate the beauties of nature
Minneapolis Tribune.
He has the apprehension of the great
things which belong to the realm OF
poetry, and high aims and varied tai
ents.- Milwaukee Sentinel.
The book contains many gems
Stevens Point Gazette.
His descriptive poetry is fine, and to
the lover of true poetry this book is a
treat.-The Blue Ribbon (Eidon MOI
A beautiful little volume of superb
poems Miner County Democrat
Howard, South Dakota
There are few poets whose muse has
swung a wider range than that evi.
denced in the product OF Mr.. Mckay
pen.-The Philosopher fWausau.)
Altogether it is a very attractive
little volume Milwaukee News.
