THIRD MUM Der.

Tnis Tuesday evening the third num-
Der on the list of entertainments of the
7. M. c. A. course will be given at the
opera house, when Rev. FIR. Frances g.
Kelley will deliver lecture on the sub
ject of the yankee Volunteer" Mr.
Kelley served as chaplain in volun-
teer regiment during the late war with
Spain, being successfully in the army
corps of Maj: Generals Lee, Shafter and
Cappeniger and did much service in
his position, both on the field and in
the fever-ridden camps of Tampa and
Fernandina. He had an excellent OPP
portunity of studying the character OF
his subject "TheYankee Volunteer"
and his talk will without doubt will be
both instructive and entertaining.
The following is taken from the David
City (Neb.) Banner in reference to Mr..
Kelley's lecture;
For the space of an hour and three.
quarters he held his audience enraptur-
ed Wit, pathos, deep learning and
word painting of the highest order, to-
gether with pleasant voice and mag
nificent address constitute Father Kel-
ley's chief charm as an orator. The
Yankee Volunteer for once has received
Justice at the hand of one, who, in his
position as chaplain in the deadly days
of the southern encampment, saw those
sterling qualities of patient and endur-
ance which are characteristic of the
American recruit.

WILL APPOINT COMMITTEE

Prof. Karl Mathie, of this city, presi-
dent of the Wisconsin State Teachers
association, is preparing to make the
appointment of committee that will
have charge of the exhibit of the Wiscon-
sin educational institutions at the
Worlds Fair at ST Louis in 1903. Twelve
departments are to be represented on the
committee, divided into universities,
colleges, normal schools, high schools,
graded schools, rural schools, private,
parochial, manual training, kinder
garten, commercial schools, and the
educational press. The appointment of
this committee was brought about at
the recent meeting of the State Teach
ers association, by the passing OF the
resolution to that effect by Pres. Halsey
of the Oshkosh normal. There will be
separate building at st. Louis for edu-
cational exhibits, and it is expected that
the fair in question will present the
most complete and comprehensive dis
play ever shown. The sum of $25, 900
has been appropriated by the state legis-
lature for the purpose of making Wis
consin's exhibit but this will do little
more than secure, equip and maintain
state building and only small por=
tian of this sum will be set aside for the
educational exhibit. 1t is expected,
however, that each city and town max
ing an exhibit, will send the same TO
some central point, where it may be
reached by the commission.

KILLED..

John Beckman, an old resident OF the
town OF Texas, died Friday as a result
of injuries received while 1T work in
che woods on his farm Being left
alone the day previous, and feeling
lonesome he decided TO go cut into the
woods and cut some wood. He had
been at work for some time, as was
shown by the amount of wood he had
cut, when finally he chopped down a
small sapling not over six inches in
diameter at the butt. When the tree
fell from the stump he evidently started
20 run, but ran in the direction in which
the tree was falling, for he was caught
and buried beneath the body of the tree
and its branches. He laid in the snow
and cried for help for nearly two hours
before his cries were heard. After be-
ing taken to his hcne medical assist
ance was summoned from this city but
his injuries wer. of such nature as to
preclude the possibility of his life being
saved His spinal column was injured
and he was partially disembowelled.
He could give no accurate account of
how the accident happened, and before
his death, which occurred Thursday,
lapsed into unconsciousness.
Mr.. Beckman had been resident of
the county for a great many years, and
was one the most respected citizens of
the town of Texas. He leaves wife
and several grown up children to
mourn his death. He was 81 years of
age. Funeral was conducted Sunday
afternoon from the home, Rev. Ber-
ger, pastor of the German Lutheran
church of that town, officiating.

FROM OTHER TOWNS.

W. ID. Connor, of Marshfield, has
made proposition to the school board
of that town to establish manual train
ing school. He proposes to pay the
salary of competent instructor for the
balance of the year in order to get the
work under way.
Kimball & Willis, who have the con-
tract to extend the Marinette, Toma-
hawk & Western, are looking for men
to clear right-of-way. The road will be
pushed to Amigo as fast as possible.

There is lively fight in progress at
Grand Rapids over the post office.
Some of the people want the post offices
at Grand Rapids and Centralia consol-
idated, with the post office on one side
of the river and sub-station on the
other side, but neither side is willing to
be contented with the sub-station.
Marshfield people figure that by the
year ending July 1st, 1902, the post
office of that city will have done a
$40, 900 business, which will allow them
free delivery.
One of the sons of Israel has opened
meat market at Stevens Point, and, in
advertising the fact, states that 'the

has occurred at Stevens Point that have
not been according to the rites of the
jew on his more numerous brethren.
Several deaths from small pox have
occurred in the state so far this winter
Last week a woman and child died at
Kaukauna, the child being born at the
time the mother was afflicted with the
disease. The death of an Oneida In
dian at Green Bay from the same dis
ease was also announced last week
While Wausau has had quite number
of cases so far this winter, we have had
but one death from the malady-that of
young son of Nelson Rowland, on
Nov. 10th. Medical men are of the
opinion that with the advent of severe
cold weather there will be a great
spread of the disease.

A REVOLUTIONARY ROMANCE.

The plays that have been written,
which have for their theme incidents
of those stirring times when handful
of American colonists wrested their lib
critics from England during the latter
part of the eighteenth century, when
that country was the most powerful on
land and sea of any on the globe, has
been too few in number. There is a
spirit to the patriots of that time, and
the parts they enacted, that when por-
trayed upon the stage, will forever hold
an American audience dear. One of
the latest stories of this character to be
dramatized is Winston Churchilrs
"Richard Carvel'' which was presented
at the opera house on Friday evening.
The house was flied to oyerflowing,
and the mere announcement OF date
and presentation of this play had been
sufficient to allow Manager Cone to
dispose of every seat in the house. To
those who had read the book it gave a
better insight into the characters
which figure in the young authors
story; to those who had not had the
pleasure of reading it there was por-
trayed to them a well told story OF
American patriotism, OF English
domineering, with goodly sprinkling
of the finer passion of love to embellish
it. In the character of Richard Carvel
you find the same spirit that animated
young Nathan Hale to play the part
that cost him his life, by meeting the
doom of spy, but he has not the finer
graces of the latter, for his Maryland
blood is fiery and he is impulsive at
times. Dorothy Manners, who plays
the next important part, is not as true
an impersonation of the American
girl of those times as is the character of
Alice Adams, Nathan Hale's sweetheart;
though she has the vivacity, there is an
inward longing for title made so by
her INSCRIPTIONS Tory father. The
Duke cf Chartersea had in him that
domineering spirit, so characteristic OF
the sons of Albion, that has been in
strumental in those people building up
an empire governing 40O,0O0,O0O OF
souls There were many other char
acters worthy of mention, all taken by
first class artists Andrew Robson, the
star of the company, was not able to
appear, owing to recently undergoing
an operation for appendicitis, but his
part was ably filled by an understudy.
Some elaborate scenery was presented
and the furniture was such as was in
vogue at an early period.

ALL FROM ONE MAN.

There are seventeen cases of small
pox in Nadeau township, Mich, in seven
different houses, and it can all be traced
from one man who came there from the
smallpox district near Green Bay and
spread it all along the route and then
there is a class of people living near
Nadeau village who seem to delight in
spreading the disease still farther, SO it
is said, by travelling from house to house
and all over the town when they know
they have the disease at home. Then
when the doctor calls they tell him there
are no sick ones.in the house. As soon
as the disease is checked there will be
several complaints entered by deter
mined ones and the people who think il
so smart to cohceal smallpox, will pay
for their funny work to the limit of the
law.
