A LIVELY CHASE.
But the Badly Wanted Bird Got Away and the Officers
Are Consequently Sad.

Under-sheriff Chellis was notified
and with German jumped into Theo.
Steltz rig and followed him to the
lower end of the avenue, where he
turned off and went east. Chellis took
one of Luebner's rigs away from boy
and followed, catching sight of him at
the hill Schroeder was called upon
to halt but he did not halt. The hill
was bare and he stood up in his cutter
and lashed the horse, two streaks of
fire flying from the runners of the cut
ter by friction in passing over the
gravel Chellis fired shot at him but
this did not stop him and turning into
side road he struck good sleighing
while Chellis, with his buggy, was un-
able to make any headway and aban-
doned the chase. He waited for Sheriff
Marquardt, who followed with a
sleigh, in the meantime telephoning to
Manley Thorn at Sunset to be on the
lookout and the latter, with a man
armed themselves with Winchester
ri les but Schroeder took another route,
and got away Nearly the whole
night was spent in an effort to overhaul
him but to no avail
Schroeder is described as a man OF
about it, or it. in. in height; age
about 90 years; hair of light color
streaked with grey; nustache small
aud of the same color, weight about
$50 pounds; eyelids dropping and he
sometimes wears glasses; walks stoop-
shouldered. He frequents saloons,
uses profane language, is well posted,
aud is quite talkatiye. He has regis
at hotels as Otto Schneider, Jim Jones,
j. Z. Severt, Paul Meyers, and perhaps
has a new name in every town he
visits. A description of him has been
placed in police publications which
reach every police officerin the country.
1t is quite probable that he will not
visit this section again in good long
while

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Gen. Fizhugh Lee Addresses Wausau Audience on the
Anniversary Of the Birth Of Washington.

Last Saturday evening for the first
time a Wausau audience had the pleas
ure of listening to an address by dis
tinguished visitol in the person of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who appeared under the
auspices of the Knights of Pythias.
The house was comfortably filled and
though the local lodge was under great
expense, it came out all right finan-
cially. He was introduced by Col.
A. L. Kreutzer in neat little
speech, in which he referred to the part
the Lee family had taken in the affairs
of this country from its foundation to
the present time.
The old general arose, thanked Mr.
Kreutzer for the compliment paid the
name of Lee, and turning to the old
soldiers, who occupied seats on the
stage, he said that he was pleased to
see them-much more so than he was
in 1864. At that time he did not have
much of an opportunity of visiting in
the North, though many men of the
North visited in his country. Peace
and War in the United States and
Cuba" was then taken up. In war the
soldier of this country ever has been of
the heroic type. In the year 4S0 B. c.,
Leonidas, with his 800 Spartans, at
tempted to hold the pass of Thermopl@
against the overwhelming numbers of
Persians. Not one of the latter crossed
this pass until Leonidas and his 300 men
lay dead on the ground. This was
an act of human valor. The charge
of the Light Brigade at Balaklava
in 1854, when 600 English soldiers
rode up to the mouths of the
Russian guns only to be cut to pieces,
was another incident of human yalor.
But these two were no more greater eX-
amples of human courage than that dis
played in our civil war at Fredricks-
burg, when the Union army attempted
to dislodge the Confederates, or at
Gettysburg when conditions were re-
versed In those fratricidal struggles
Gen. Lee was participator, and could
not help but admire the courage of
friend and foe alike. The losses in
killed alone of either army at either of
these battles amounted to several times
more than the entire losses we suffered
during our late picnic with Spain.
When two sections of country will fight
as they did them, what may be expected
of them in fighting together against a
common foe. The last war was an ex-
ample of American patriotism. Presi-
dent Mckinley called for 200, 900 men;
he could have had 1900, 900 so great was
the eagerness of men to enlist. And
here the speaker paid glowing tribute
to the martyr president for having
taken greater part than any other man
OF the century in unifying two sections
of people and healing the wounds of bit
ternesS.
Mr.. Lee was appointed consul to
Havana during the latter part of Presi-
dent Clevelands administration, and
though the former apprised the latter

Roy Duncan returned home Sunday
from Canada, bringing with him eight
head of cattle for the Duncan farm on
Marshall hill. The cattle are short
horns, full bloods and registered, and
in the herd are FIVE heifers with calf
and three bulls. They are fine look
ing herd and were secured at some ex-
pense and trouble in the vicinity Of
Hamilton, Ont, and consist of seven
roans and one red. These in addition
to ehe cattle now on the Duncan farm
makes a herd of twenty-one, and are a
desirable acquisition to the stock Of
this county.
S NJ and W H. Quaw have decided
to place on their farm, just west Of
town, number Of the Aberdeen Poll
Angus cattle.
Other stock raisers of the county are
contemplating making additions in the
near future to their herds, so that with
the advent of another year we may look
forward to a considerable growth in
numbers of blooded cattle in the county.

BLOODED CATTLE.

Some of the finest looking cattle ever
seen in this locality were brought to
town on Thursday evening and placed
in the barn of the Alexander Stewart
Lumber Co. on Forest street They
were the cattle recently purchased by
Walter Alexander while he was in
Chicago, and for which he paid small
fortune They are full blooded Aber
deem Poll Angus, registered, and are of
drove that took first money at the
live stock exhibit, held in Chicago
recently. They are coal black, very
fat and as slick and trim as little red
wagon. There are six in all, three
young cows, two heifers and a bull
and they will be placed on the farm of
Mr.. Alexander just west OF town-the
old Pat Delaney place To this farm
has recently been added 40 acres of
adjoining property, so that that there
is now 100 acres for stock raising pur-
poses. This grade of cattle is not for
the dairy, but furnishes the choicest
steaks that ever graced dinner table.
The owner takes pride in them, and
would not part with any, not even for
the governors chair, but then Walt
has no longing for the latter-excuse
us, we are running into politics.
Mr. Alexander has secured this herd
AS a neuclus TO build upon, and
expects in a few years 20 have
one of the best appointed stock
farms in this section, on which
will be the best grades of cattle. AL
though at present there are but few
blooded cattle in this section it will
be but few years, when every
farmer of any Importance will be
raising none but the best of stock,
and that in plentiful numbers, for this
section is bound to become cattle
country in time.
Mr.. Alexander has also decided to add
a novelty in the stock line to his farm.
He will in a short time secure from the
Milwaukee stock farm, near Janesville,
a herd of Shetland ponies. These will
be nine in nuynber,-eight mares (all
in foa) and stallion. There are some
very fine specimens of the Shetland on
the Milburn farm, and Mr.. Alexander
therefore has good herd to pick from.
The date of their shipment here has
not been fixed, but they may arrive
most any day

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

On Tuesday, Manley b. Townsend,
from DR1ield, Maine, gave Il talk on
Lincoln's character and at the same
time illustratrased his honesty and in
tegrity by several anecdotes.
To test the originality and shrewd
ness of the pupils Supt Karl Mathie
produced some very ingenious puzzles
on Thursday. They set the scholars to
thinking and several incorrect answers
were given, but it was not until Mr.
Mathie had given several hints as the
solution of the puzzles, that they were
solved.
On Thursday, Mr.. Mathie notified his
Sociology class, that they are to have
no more sociology lessons until the
spring vacation. To offset this they
wi have United States History every
day and are to write review of certain
sociological books.
Miss Helen Merk was absent on Fri
day afternoon on account of sudden
illness.

Soldiers From Mining Region Attacked
in Pittsburq. IA,

Soldiers From Mining Region Attacked
in Pittsburg. eg
Pittsburg, Oct 4 30.-A scene de-
nounced by bystanders as contemplate
and outrageous marked the return of
the soldiers of the Fourteenth regi-
ment. from the anthracite region.
While passing down Fifth avenue they
were assailed with chunks Of concrete,
blocks of wood as large as bricks, and
even tools, thrown from the twenty
first floor of the new Farmers Deposit
Bank building, distance of 275 feet,
by workmen.
The act was evidently premeditated
for the workmen had collected enough
missiles to keep up the assault the
whole time the regiment was passing.
That no one was seriously hurt is re-
markable.
When the soldiers realized that the
missiles were aimed at them a line
was quickly formed on the opposite
pavement, an officer gave the com
mand to load, but the commanding Of
ficer countermanded the order and nc
shots were fired.

NEARBY TOWNS ABANDONED.
Volcano of Santa Maria Continues in
Eruption.

New York, Oct. 3O.-There have
been serious earthquakes throughout
Guatamala and the volcano of Santa
a is in still great eruption, cables
the correspondent of the Herald at
Guatemala City.
There were tremendous detonations,
like heavy cannonading, at S o'clock
Tuesday morning.
The Santa Maria volcano has thrown
deep mantle of ashes upon the town
of Quezaltenango (Which has been
partly rebuilt since the earthquake of
last ApriD and upon the town of Mo-
zantenango. The volcano is near both
of these places.
All towns, villages and plantations
near the volcano have been abandoned
and the residents are fleeing to places
of safety.
Guatemala City, although more than
100 miles from Santa Maria, hears it's
continuous laundering.
Details of the eruption are not OBJ.
tainable, owing to the Guatemalan gov.
ernment taking possession of all tele-
graph lines in the interior. <,

Two Killed and Twelve Hurt in Recent
49,. Disturbance.
San Juan, Oct. 30.-In an encounter
between policemen and citizens at San
Lorenzo two OF the latter were killed
and twelve wounded. Three policemen
were wounded.
The trouble arose from the police at
tempting to disarm crowd of about
200 natives who were carrying the
body of a dead person into San Loren
20 from the country. They were all
armed with heavy sticks.
There were only five policemen and
when they attempted to take the clubs
from the crowd there was a desperate
fight. The police finally succeeded in
quelling the disturbance. A large mum
ber of arrests were made.
Politics has caused an affray be-
tween the police and citizens at Pa
tillas, in which four persons were
wounded. The acting mayor, munich
pal judge and a large number of Fed
erals were arrested. Reinforcements
have been sent to the town.
Minor disorders, stabbings and other
woundings have been reported from
many towns.

IN0 Ways ARE Open.
Officials Are Bound by The Spooner
Act to Proceed With Con- :
struction of Canal.
Can Complete Negotiations With Mic
araguan Government if colom-
bia is Averse.
Can Then Proceed With Construction
of Panama Waterway De-
spite Colombia.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The status
the Colombian canal negotiations is
that both sides here are awaiting de.
cision of the Colombian government as
to whether Minister Concha shall pro.
ceed under his original instructions to
present to the state department the
Colombian response to the depart
ment's proposal for a treaty. When
the response arrived in WASHINGTON
two days ago the minister promptly
notified the state department that in
view of recent developments (meaning
events that had happened on the 18TH
mus since the note started from Bogo-
ia, Sept. 16) he had regarded it as his
duty to withhold it until he heard
further from his government.
AS the state department had in some
way come to know that the Colombian
response would, if submitted, go far to-
wards meeting the desires of this gov
ernment in the matter of a canal
treaty, this delay was very annoying.
But as the minister had his own no
tion Of duty in the matter it was de-
cided that an appeal should be taken
over his head to the authorities in Bo-
gotta. Accordingly cablegram was
sent to United States Minister Hart at
the Colombian capital notifying him of
the action of the Colombian minister
here. No specific complaint was made
but it was -
Desired to Make Sure
that the Colombian government knew
that the note had been held back.
The matter of objection by our Of
ficials is the attempt to link the nego
tiations for a canal treaty, pure and
simple, with the discussion of the cor
rectness of the attitude of our naval
officers on the isthmus. 1t is expected
that the delay will not be long for
even if the Colombian answer. is moi
satisfactory, the United States. gov.
ernment will still be bound by the
terms of the Spooner act to proceed
towards the construction of al 18TH
mian canal and the only question to
be decided is as to method. There are
two ways open even in case of an ad-
verse attitude on the part of Colombia,
namely, either the United States gov
ernment to proceed without delay to
complete the treaties with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica necessary for the con-
struction Of a canal in those countries,
or, and this latter course would be
adopted with reluctance, the govern
ment might purchase outright the
French Panama Canal company, and
go on resolutely with the construction
OF the Panama canal, taking the
ground that it would have a right te
improve its own property without ref
erence to any other government anG
taking no further notice of Colombia.

pig on the site of the old town Of
Goodrich, was set on by three farmers
from Wells county and br1ltally
beaten because he would not give them
a drink. The men were arrested but
afteT'ward released. Several days
elapsed, and Jones died from his IN
juries it being discovered that he was
badly injured internally. The Flick
ertail Flicker wants justice done, and
says it remains to be seen whether the
farmers of Mclean county, like their
neighbors in Wells. believe it is no
crime to murder blind pigger.
