Tomorrow Night at the Turner
Opera House.
THE CAST IS ALL LOCAL TALENT
Under Management of F. A. Grubbs'
Who Will Direct.
STREET PARADE AT NOON.
Many Features Will Combine to Make
the Show a Most En-
tertaining One.

Since its organization the lodge
of Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks has taken an active part in the
city's social life and has given it an
impetus that has been manifested on
several occasions. The latest effort on
the part of the society is minstrel car
nival that holds forth tomorrow even
ing at the Turner Opera House, in
which city talent composed of MEM
bers of the club, and others
will appear before the foot lights
in the role of black face comedians
Though the time for preparation has
been short, the programme which will
be presented will carry many features
that will appeal to the lover of old
time minstrely. Interest centers about
the fact that the characters will be
borne by local people only, and among
the Elks there are many who will be
entirely familiar with the parts
assigned.
One great handicap has developed in
the discovery that the club has super
abundance of eighteen-caret heavy
villain characters who are adapted to
these parts, not however from the fact
that the term vallainous is applicable,
but rather through the assumption that
this character must according to pre-
cedent be possessed of u deal of avoir-
dupois. Thus G. w. Fechter, w. F.
Pfneger, Jay Hall, J. 8. Egan, F. j.
O'Brien, August Drews, Ernst Wagner,
F. T. zentner and Charles HuchthGu-
sen, who are all desirable candidates
for the heavy weight character will be
obliged to cast lots for the place.
Solace is provided them by the mana
ger who has announced that as the
minstrel show does not require many
heavy villains, other suitable parts
will be provided.
The eight end men have been selected
as follows; Carl Bauer, Bert Hutto,
Walter Staudt, Will Breuer, Walter
Clark, Dale Clark, DR.. Huwetchek and
Arthur Wellner, while the Interlocutor
will be assumed by T. A. Grubbs, the
director.
Among the special features will be a
skirt dance by the two bantam actors,
F J. O'Brien and w. F. Phueger,
which will without doubt make hit.
Other attractions will no doubt please
the audience. The street parade which
takes place at noon tomorrow will be
one of the best of its kind ever wit
messed in the city.
Seats for the performance can he
checked at Groffman's Drug Store.

IL the deal is carried through which

He Comes Out for the Guber-

lRRANGES HIS BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
SO that he is Able TO Run for the
Nomination.
A VERY ABLE ADVOCATE.
Writes a Letter TO ]. NJ Store of Neenaf
Announcing His candidacy-Thinks
Democracy May Win.

Neal Brown, one of the able lawyer
Of the state, whose home is at Wausau
has just announced his candidacy for
the gubernatioral nomination on the
Democratic ticket in letter addressed
to j. N. Stone, editor of the Neenah
Times. His letter follows:
Dear Mr. Stone: When you started
my candidacy for governor | felt that
it would be impossible for me for many
reasons to seriously consider the matter,
although appreciated more than l can
tell you your very kindly commenda-
tions.
my business and other personal
affairs were then in such shape that it
seemed impossible for me to accept
such nomination.
Recently, however, matters have so
arranged themselves that | would ac-
cept if my friends thought it advisable
and could secure the free endorsement
of the convention and of a considerable
body of my party associates Throughout.
the state.
Il thought it due to you to say this
much and to thank you again for your
kindly expression of interest in my
candidacy. | want to be fully advised
by my party associates and am willing
to give my support to any other candi-
date who may he Thought more avail
able. Very truly yours.
NEAL BROWN.
A later statement of Mr. Browns
follows:
81 had no intentions whatever up to
the last twenty-four hours of becoming
u candidate for governor before the
| Democratic convention and had uni
formely declined to allow my name to
be used although | appreciated the
very great honor that some OF my
| friends wished to bestow upon me in
securing for me the nomination. My
reasons for so acting were personal and
| business reasons OF no interest W tnt
public and yet of very great weight
with me, but matters have 80 shaped
themselves of late that | felt that |
could reconsider this determination and
accept the nomination for governor if
my party associates would give me
sufficient support to secure the nomina-
ton.
'I have thought for some months
that there was fair prospect for Demo-
cratic success in this state this year. If
nominated shall expect to make the
best canvass that can.
Il have many kind assurances from
friends in different parts of the state of
their support for the nomination. Were
it not for these, of course, | would not
consider the matter Mt all ."
Neal Brown has always been con-
sistent Democratic believing in those
doctrines which divide the Democratic
party from the Republican party. He
has many admirers over the state,
among whom is l.. J. Nash, of this city.

his home at Chippewa Falls since the
people of that city became suspicious of
the woman's prolonged absence, was
arrested at Brillion Friday, and will
answer to the crime of murder
Wolf came to Rrillion in the guise of
a stone cutter seeking employment, and
so secured work in one of the quarries
He boldly registered his own name at
the hotel where he was stopping and it
is this fact that led to his apprehension
Reports published in the newspapers of
the finding of the body of the murdered
woman at Chippewa Falls Tuesday, and
the connection of the name OF George
Wolf, led to a report being sent to Chip
pewa Falls and Immediately thereafter
officers left for Brillion to identify the
man employed there, and as the descrip'
ton tailed, he was arrested.
He made complete confession, when
taken into custody aud assigned jealousy
as the cause for his crime. The nlurder
to which Wolf confessed was {. most
cold blooded one and showed pre-medi
tation.
Mrs. Wolf was last seen on the even
ing of June q OF the present year, last,
being in company with her husband on
the way to wedding in the neighbor-
hood. Visitors who called to the Wolf
home the days succeeding, We're inform
ed that Mrs. Wolf was at Chicago with
friends, but the people became suspicious
when the husband began to tell conflict
ing stories, and tales OF foul play were
entertained. Finally Il warrant was is
sued for his arrest, but when the officers
came to serve the papers, no trace OF the
man could be found. A reward was
offered for bis capture and also for the
body of the wife whom officers we're con
vinced had been murdered.
Sunday August 3, the corpse of Mrs.
Wolf was discovered on Gravel Island,

feet in sandbank, completely covered,
The skull had been crushed AMI there
was every evidence of the horrible crime
that he had been committed. The body
of the infant child of the couple was
found near that of the mother.
For weeks previous to the disappear
ance of Mrs. Wolf, neighbors had known
of the domestic troubles in the home.
The husband was of insane jealous tenn
permanent and quarrels were of frequent
occurrence. Shortly after dusk on the
night Of June 81, Wolf, his wife and
child were seen to leave the home in
buggy and few hours later people in
the vicinity of Gravel Island report hav-
ing heard the terrified screams of wo-
man. These incidents furnished the
clue that finally led to the discovery of
the bodies of the murdered mother and
child

to its active support all the Democrats
in the state, but also the conservative
people of all parties. Such ticket and
platform would give aid and assistance
to every county and congressional tick
OF in the state, and in close counties
and districts would elect the county and
congressional candidates.
