mill of the old Lincoln Lumber Com
pany. at Merrill, and large tract of

Since 1888 Mr.. Foster has been presi-
dent of the n .rrill Lumber Company,
and his son, Il. H. FostS1, superintend-
ent and active manager.
For a number of years Mr.. Fosters
health was poor, and he Resided in
Milwaukee from 1887 until 1897, when
he purchased a comfortable horae at
Wausau, where he now lives.
The Merrill Lumber company is one
of the leading concerns in the Wiscon-
sin valley, and its measure of success
may be directly attributed to the wise
direction of its affairs on the part of
Mr.. Foster aid to the careful manage
ment of his son, H II Foster. During
the last few years Mr. Fosters health
has been very good, and although resid-
ing in Wausau, nearly every morning
he goes up to Merrill, eighteen miles
distant. and is back home at night
Among Mr.. Fosters other interests is
the Red Cliff Lumber Company, man
ufacturing lumber at Red Cliff, Wis, of
which he is one of the organizers. he
is also a director in the Merrill Boom
Company.
Mr.. Foster was married in April,
1856, at Fond du Lac, Wis, to the
friend of his childhood days, Miss
Laura Ellen Foster, who came west to
meet him, from their old home at
Machias, Me. She, strange as it may
seem, was a direct descendant of
jeremiah O'Brien, the patriot of revo-
luticnary days and associate of Coll
Der iamin Foster, Mr. Fosters great
grandfather, in those stirring times,
thus uniting two old families. To them
were born large family, Il which two
sons, II. II. Foster and George + Eos
ter, the latter of The Geo. f. Foster
Lumber Company, of Merrill, a leading
hardwood and Eemlock lumber manu-
featuring concern of Wisconsin, and
three daughters are noNS living. Mrs.
Foster passed away three years age.
AIR. Foster is a man who had few
educational advantages, and his life
has been one of continuous hard work
He forged his way ahead by dint OF his
own resources, and up to ten years ago
he was exceedingly active. In busi-
ness way, Mr. Foster is always quick 10
grasp the possibilities of proposition.
Personally, Mr. Foster is good-natured
and iovial, having the faculty Of max
ing hosts of friends There is not q
travelling man in the Wisconsin valley
but has met Mr.. Foster going back and
forth on.the railroad, and TO know him
is but to like him aud admire his noble
qualities of heart and mind. He is a
true friend Of all, no matter what their
station il life. OF late years. since he
has been largely relieved Of the cares
of business, he has more fully deyel-
oped the social side of his life, display
ing a disposition most bright aud
sunny, as well as a character that IS
strong and sturdy.

WAS SHE TO BLAME.

There are a vast number of pastoral
plays now occupying the boards Of the
American stage, but none better or
more enjoyable than "Was She To
Blame" written by veteran actor j. &
Stuttz which appears at the opera nous
next Sunday evening. 1t has not SO
many accessories, such as snow storms
and well sweeps, but relies solely upon
meritorious acting, and the truthful
portrayal of its characters. 1t has its
own atmosphere and doesn't need any
extra blasts from outside. The CHIEF
charm of WAS She To Blame' is its
naturalness depicting as it does scenes
from real life, without the least exag-
geration or improbable scenes. The
story is a surprisingly simple one, yet
there are real tears, more creditable
emotions, more sunny smiles than any
other play seen.in many weeks. In fact
ii is a sermon from behind the foot
lights of the American stage.
This beautiful drama, headed by its
author, supported by cast of talented
artists, willappear in Wausau nextSun-
day evening. Admission pricet S5-35-
80 cents. Seats on sale at Frost IL Phil

TO DEFEAT d. B. HENDERSON.
National Federation of Millers Plan
Speakers Downfall

A dispatch from Minneapolis yesterday
says: II. S. Kennedy, secretary of the Ma
tional Federation of Millers, tonight an
nounced that the milling interests of the
country are in league to procure the defeat
Of Speaker Henderson in his race for re-
election to Congress. The announcement
was made prior to Mr.. Kennedy's departure
for Des Moines, Iowa. to attend a meeting
at which measures and means to encompass
Henderson's political downfall will be dis
cussed. The resentment of the millers owes
its genesis to Speaker Hendersons action
in holding up the London dock clause an
amendment to the Harter bill, designed to
do away with what American exporters re-
gard as unjust discrimination against
United States flour in the unloading charges
at London,
According to Mr. Kennedy, Representa-
tive Loren Fletcher had pra ctically secured
assurances Of the passage of the amend
ment. and millers of the country felt GER
tain their wishes would be carried out
when Speaker Henderson suddenly inter-
posed his interference and held up the
measure. Mr.. Kennedy explains that no
funds will be solicited outside of Iowa to
prosecute the campaign against the Speaker,
but he intimates that all the money and
means necessary are available in that state

bclted from the convention to form a new
Robert w. Wilcox.
Delegate Wilcox and Kalouakalani have
both stated that they can do without the
element represented by the prince and that
Wilcox will be elected TO Congress again;
but it is generally thought that the division
in the home rule party is a serious one, and
republican papers predict that it will end
in the defeat of Wilcox in the coming cleo
ton.
After the bolt of the dissatisfied ones. the
regular convention nominated Wilcox for
delegate to Congress and adjourned. The
boilers organized new party, which they
call the non-partisan party. They chose
Prince Cupid president, and talked of nam

Trouble Caused by Enforcement Of

A dispatch from Paris yesterday saws:
After the distribution of. prizes at a school
belonging to an unauthorized congregation
in the Avenue Parmentier here today vio-
lent speeches were made to the assembled
crowds, denouncing the governments ac-
ton in closing the establishments of I'M
authorized congregations. Fighting ensued.

don and shouting ''Vive la Liberter'
Francis Coppee, the author and poet who
was the chief speaker; Deputy Lerore Gas
ton Merry and the Able ParturaI were ar
rested.
NM. Coppee. Lerolle and Merry were later
released. Comte Urban de Maille, who was
among those taken into custody, was held
for examination. Further disturbances and
some arrests have occurred in other places
The determined firmness with which the
government is carrying out the law against
unauthorized congregations is flashing the
clericals to fury, which eliminated in to-
days diSorderly demonstrations in Paris
Similar, though less violent, scenes accom-
panied the closing of the schools and the
departure of the teachers at other places
As a matter of fact, however, the clericals
manifestly in hopeless minority
throughout the country. Many municipal
councils in all sections of France including
those of such important cities as Lyons
Tours, Epernay and Beauvais, are voting
resolutions approving the governments ac-
ton, congratulating the ministry upon its
firmness and urging it to continue its de-
Tense OF civil society against the encroa CHI
ments of the congregations.
The government is certainly applying the
law with all possible modera ton. and, wit h
the country behind 1t, will, it is believed
accomplish the task undertaken before par
lament reassembes. The clericals will
doubtless continue their agitation, but the
movement Is not likely to lead to any prac-
teal result or cause serious disturbance of
public order.

With loaf Of rye bread and three lighted
candles stuck through the crust as points

an Austrian, located a drowned body in
West river this evening after all other ef-
forts had failed
John Birmingham, thirteen years old was
drowned last evening while bathing Men
dragged the stream all night and through
the day unsuccessfully. kopperl is a fruit
vender, about forty-five years old. He hap
pened along in his wagon. and asked the
cause of the work in the river The Aus
TRAN became interested, and told Sergeant
Mcclure of the police squad how the Hun
sarian peasants find drowned body. The
crowd laughed derisively. Kopperl soon re-
turned with big round loaf Of bread and
three candies He inquired at what spot
the boy went down. Placing the loaf in the
river at that point, he lighted the candles
already set into the bread.
This loaf will follow the course of the
body, he said. Put your hook in where it
stops"
The bread loaf circled several times and
noated down stream. 1t soon stopped as if
heid by some barrier. The searchers threw
their hooks in and brought the body to the
surface scarcely yard from the loaf
The whole thing cost fifteen cents" said

Findings in the Cases Of Major Glenn
and Others.

The records of the proceedings and find
ings in the court-martial cases of Major
Edwin F. Glenn, 9Th Infantry; Lieutenant
Julien E. Gaujot. 10th Cavalry, and Lieu
tenant Norman E. Cook of the Philippine
Scouts, have been forwarded to the Presi-
dent at Oyster Bay for final action.
Major Glenn was tried on the charge Of
administering the water cure to natives or
permitting it to be done. He was found
guilty and sentenced to one months sus-
pension of duty and fine of $50. Lieuten-
ant Cook was charged with giving orders
to kill three Filipino prisoners. The testi-
money showed that he had given orders to
shoot the prisoners if they attempted to
escape. The Filipino Scouts, to whom this
order was given, thought it meant to shoot
the prisoners. Cook was acquitted.
In forwarding the cases to the President
the Secretary of War recommends that the
sentences and findings be approved.
