A story of GnrihnIdi.


There are certain names so magnetic |
that their pronunciation thrills all who
hear them. Such is the name of the
Italian soldier and liberator, Garibaldi.
Marching with his troops, he met
shepherd who was in great distress be-
cause he had lost a lamb. Garabaldi
said to his. troops, Let us help this
poor shepherd find his lamb" And so,
with lanterns and torches, they ex-
plOred the mountains, but did not find
the lamb, and after an unsuccessful
search late at night they went to their
encampment. The next morning Carl
baldi was found asleep far on into the
day, and they Weakened him for some
purpose and found that he had not
given up the search when the soldiers
did, but had kept on still further into
tile night and had found it, and he
pulled down the blankets from his
( couch, and there lay the lamb, which

CURlOS.

A great many have visited the office
rooms of the Mathie Brewing Co. the
past week for the purpose Of inspecting
the relics brought home from abroad
by Ed. Mathie. On neatly finished
board decorated with ivory he has all
the implements of warfare, used by the
Filipino consisting of spears, bows
and arrows, bolos, brass cannon, shields,
etc., all in miniature form. There are
also musical instruments suits of clothes
and instruments of various kinds.
Among his curios he has decorated ware
from Japan, japanese coins as old as
Rib Hill. He brought with him col
lection of coins from numerous coun-
tries and among them is Roman piece
that is over 1000 years old. He has
also quite collection of curious and
fancy canes picked up on his trip. One
of these is of bamboo, which has a cap
at the lower end, and by taking the cap
off a sectional fish pole comes forth.
Another has glass bottle running
through the center and in the handle is
drinking glass. This is also for fish
ermen, and is a great thing to carry
baitin. He has one made of a piece of
cinnamon wood that always retains the
aromatic odor of the cinnamon. Mr..
Mathie has many other curios gathered
in foreign lands and has spent most OF
his time since his arrival home in show
ing them to friends and telling of his
travels.

"A POOR RELATION"

OF all the Sol Smith Russell plays the
best and most pleasantly remembered
is "A Poor Relation" Because of Mr..
Russelrs enforced retirement owing to
continued i'll health, Mr. Berger, his
manager, has re-engaged the entire
supporting company and with the clev-
young actor, Frederick Summerield
playing the part of Noah Vale'' in "a
Poor Relation will be zen Wednesday
night at the Opera Hon Sc. This play
and the character in which Mr.. Sum-
mertield appears, have already secured
the hearty endorsement of the play-go-
ing public throughout the United
States, and it is therefor no surprise to
hear that the attraction Is meeting with
perfect ovation wherever it has been
seen. "A Poor Relation" is one of the
prettiest pieces of dramatic work now
on the stage, the humor is delicate, but
irresistible; the pathos is effective, but
never overdone. There is no tendency
to overload the play with climaxes, but
its points are made vigorously and
tastefully.
Special scenery, costumes, stage set
tings-in fact everything is carried by
the company to insure production,
correct and adequate in every detail.
There has already been much inter-
est displayed in inquiries for Seats. and
several theatre parties will be in atten-
dance on Wednesday evening Jan. 20.

BETTER ROADS.

"What we need for the proper de-
velopment of Marathon and Portage
counties, - said the Rev. Francis Villas
lawski, the parish priest Of Beyent,
Wis, "is better country roads and bet
ter postal facilities"
Father Wlaslawski, who is stopping
at the st. Charles, is IN the city for the
purpose of securing Polish sisters for
the opening up of the parochial schoolat
Bevent. He states that a church is also
being built at Polonia, eighteen miles
south of Bevent, between Custer and
Hatley, in the northwestern part of
Portage county, which VIII be the
largest church in the Green Bay diocese
and which will be under the charge of
Father Thomas Grenbowskie
"a great many Poles are settling in
Marathon and Portage counties, espec-
tally in the latter county" said the
priest
There are about 1900 Poles in the
Green Bay diocese The poverty of the
new comers is very distressing, but
by hard work they become, ia short
time, thrifty citizens"
In speaking of the potato market in
that part of the country Father Villas
lawski said that all those communities
which are surrounded by Polish farms
are especially good markets. for in
stance, Plover. Piainfield, Stevens Point
and Waupaea. Father Wlaslawski is
much interested in rural free delivery,
and was, with Representative Z. s..
Minor, instrumental in getting the first
rural free delivery route established In
Portage county. He is also much in
terested in farmers institutes, and said
that while the latter were well attended
in that part of tae country, Polish
speakers, who could talk to the Polish
farmers in their own language, were
needed. Milwaukee Sentinel of Jan %.

ERE AT SCHOFIELD.

At atsat $50 Wednesday afternoon
the dry Kiln of the Brooks II Ross Lam
Der Co. at Sehofield was found to be
on tlre. At the time the dlcoVery was
made the building was beyond hope of
saving. The mill was shut down and
the force of men turned out with buck
cts and succeeded in checking the
spread of the flames to other prope-:y
near by, aud within a short time the
kiln was in ashes. The building, which
was about aoxl00 feet IN size. contain
ed about 5000 feet of lumber at the
time, which was going through the dry
ing process, and the loss is figured at
about =. 40. covered in part by insdr-
ance. There are several theories as to
how fae fire started; some think it was
frisdou from the dryer fan, while others
are of the opinion that it was due to
spontaneous combustion. The kiln viii

TO CLEAR MYSTERY.

Postmaster S. B. Lovejoy has received
letter from August f. Marquardt,
sheriff of Marathon county, Wisconsin,
IN which inquiry is made regarding
Hans Christian Frederick Hanson, late
of Denmark.
Last September the Wisconsin sheriff
found body near Wausau. 1t was be-
heyed to be the remains of Hanson and
there YVES every indication the man had
been murdered.
In his effort to clear up the supposed
murder mystery Sheriff Marquardt has
written Postmaster Lovejoy with hope
of securing some information about the
man.
From papers on Hanson's person it
was learned that he had directed his
mail to Minneapolis postoffice where it
was to be forwarded to him at his re-
quest.
Mr. Loveioy investigated the matter
yesterday and found that no mail adj
dressed to such person had been re-
ceived at the Minneapolis office. his
name does not appear in the directory
and nothing is known of him here
Minneapolis Times.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1902-01-28
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.

The Marshfield Times is authority
for the statement that the man found
murdered in the town of Day last Sep
tember has been identified. 1t will be
remembered that at the time he was
found and up to recently, every effort
te determine his identity has proved
futile. Our readers will remember
that number of photographs were af-
forwards found some distance from the
corpse, bearing the name of a photog-
rapher in Denmark, and these were
forwarded to the Danish consul at Chi
cago, who sent them to his home coun-
try to determine the name of the family,
and get what information he could.
The Times states that the Danish con-
sui has since received reply to the
effect that the murdered mans name
was Hans &. Hansen. and that he left
Denmark for this country about a year
ago and located at Taopi, Mower coun-
ty, Mimi, but that his relatives had not
heard from him for some time. By
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it has been learned
that the man left Taopi last summer
and went to Minneapolis, where he re-
mained short time, and then came to
Marshfield. At that place he is known
to have worked on one of the railroad
sections.
The same paper also states that Han
sen has two trunks still at Taopi and
that deceased carried life insurance,
how much is not stated. An effort is
also being made to link the disappear
ance OF Hansen with that of Hans o.
worked for the r. Connor Co. at STRAIT
ford up to June of last year, and since
that time there has never been trace
of him found. 1t is quite probable that
they are two different parties, for, as
stated in this paper some time ago,
Warlum had lived in Neillsyille for
some time and was man of family,
while Hansen, so far as learned, did not
have any wife or family. If they were
one and the same man what would be
the object of playing the Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde game of playing the double
roll of the characters of Hansen and
Warlum? If they were two distinc
tive individuals the question arises
what has become Warlum?' The
earth certainly did not swallow him and |
there is a chance for investigation in
his case also Further details of this
affair may turn up later.

INSURRECTiON.

Although instruction, is more COM
monty applied, to rising against civil
or political authority, it seems ntting
idea, for the various vexati0ns that
arise between friends and ne;ghbors,
who oftentimes find themselves accused
of gross falsehood, suspected evil or
pretended suspicion, through the med
ium of people, devoid of honor, judg
ment, or any delicate sensitive thought
for one another; frequently they be-
come almost merciless, so to speak,
their attacks, mode of action and neigh
borly conduct more becoming a mad
man, than one supposed to posses abil
ity and original mental power, suffi-
cient to guard against this outbreak of
passion, that completely masters the
mind. Their approach is like unto low,
prolonged musketry, verging into
deep, boisterous artillery. The keen
saber of this turbulent army. hews
down many an innocent victim. They
assume a degree of determination and
tierceness, so hostile, that it seems
almost impossible to pursue any con
ciliatory measures. The impetuosity
of falsifier is apt to crush down the
common courtesies of friendship, and
we realize the danger that we are sub
jected to, and deep displeasure at the
pertinacity of one or more of these
agitations.
They press on relentless, striking at
ouy character, our business, our social
every day life. They often succeed in
pinniDg our names down to the earth,
with the alacrity of heartless victory
until endurance without murmuring
seems at an end. This insurrection
causes any amount of perplexities and
embarrassment at times growing into
grievances that enrage the most ann
able There are avenues marked out
in life, whereby all might escape such
distasteful thralldom, if the perversity
of nature could be conquered and good

sang three solos and an encore, the
Tennyson-Strauss "Euoch Arden" was
recited, and Mr. Wrightson closed the
concert by giving three solo numbers.
1t will be seen that the arrangement
was attractive, variety as well as novel
ty being cared for. The "Enoch Ar

of the afternoons entertainment, and
it proved productive of keen enjoy
ment, for Mr.. and Miss Heinrich gave
it with rare finish and potency Rep

of the contrasts, and still further re-

fine vocal condition, and her singing
of Goring- g-Thomas' "a Night in June"
and Ronald's ''Daphne's Love" was a
source of keen satisfaction to all who
admire the best in song Interpretation
and true proficiency in vocal art.
Mr.. Wrightson had no easy task set
him in singing while the charm of
'Enoch Arden" was still on the audi
ence. The "Toreador Song" from
Carmen sounded tawdry after the
Strauss music, and he who sang it
was placed therefor at a disvantage.
1t was given with spirit, however, and

Mr.. Wrightson employed the pianissimo
effect he makes one of his specialities

hearers.
