His face was badly burned and the
mother Immediately took him to the
doctor. Dir. Stephenson worked in vain
to save the child. 1t seems that Monday
morning a member of the family used
carbolic acid in the bathroom and left
the bottle containing the poison, on a
chair. The children went into the
room and finding the bottle began play
ing with it. The Holmes child drank
most of the contents of the bottle.
Mr.. Frank Heckstein, a resident of the
third ward, an employee of the rail-
road company at work in the gravel pit
near NashOtah was thrown from a de-
rallied flat car Wednesday afternoon and
his right leg and arm cut off. The in
jured man was taken to OcOnOmOWOc
and examined by DR.. Nc L. Miller, and
upon the physicians recommend he was
brought home and DR.. F. c.. Moulding
was summoned. But the injured man
was past human help, the shock to his
system, and internal injuries perhaps,
were too severe and at o'clock he died.
A married man some % years Of age, in
his prime, his sudden taking off is to be
regretted, and general sympathy will be
felt for his bereaved wife.
In order to give our Office staff and
the old man himself chance to eel
citrate the anniversary Of the Nations
birthday, the Republican is published a
day ahead of its usual publication day,
and we take the occasion to express the
hope that the day may pass without
injury to life or property; that all our
visitors may enjoy themselves and re-
solve to come again; that the several
committees who arranged the celebration
may see the full fruit on Of their we'll
meant efforts to amuSe; that the casual
acquaintance made on this day among
the young people may rlpen into love,
marriage and all the relation suggests;
and finally when the day has passed and
the night has gone out, may no sore
| heads remain as the result Of over in
diligence in the possible pleasures of
either.
We are in receipt of copy of the
Marinette Eagle, of June %, containing
a long and we'll written article descrip-
tive OF a enthusiastic reception recently
given by college men of both Wisconsin
and Michigan to Capt. Robert Stevenson
of the University of Wisconsin crew
The fact that the mother of the popular
athlete was formerly WatertOWn
young lady, favOrably remembered as
Miss Fannie Nixon, and that he is a
nephew of Miss Mary Nixon, at present
a resident here, gives somewhat of a local
interest to the occasion referred to as
we'll as the guest of the evening himself.
The big feature of the occasion was the
banquet, and the speeches and songs, the
"reminiscences and prophecies that its en-
joyment inspired. Among the partici-
pants Wisconsin, Michigan and Chicago
universities, Rush Medical, Lake Forest
aud Pordue universities were represent
ed. The table was laid for seventy-fve
guests and every chair was filled
Toasts covering every place of college
live with suitable responses filled in
every seasonable hour until adjournment
We have no space to copy extracts but
leave our readers who have been parti.
cipants in similar occasions to imagine
how genuine the welcome and how rosy
the future as pictured by the after din
ner orators. Success to Mr.. Steven=
son. He is Wisconsin boy, the worthy
son of a grand old state.
