Before splendid audience that filed
the auditorium Sunday school room
and galleries of the Presbyterian church
last Sunday evening. Mr.. Wharton, as
his old friends call him, delivered one
of the best addresses, if not the best
ever made before class of graduates
of our High school.
After speaking of the sacrifices made
by parents, citizens and teachers that
these thousands of High school stu
dents throughout the United States
might graduate, that this year are COM
pleting their courses, Mr.. Wharton
turned his remarks directly to the class
assembled before him.
He told them that they were now to
cease having their duties allotted to
them by their parents and teachers, and
were to begin to obey other masters.
In sthe past their chief glory was
obedience; ia the future they hope to
escape obedience, but this is impossible
since man is born to obey.
The real question is what master will
you obey The dream that you will be
free to do as you please is an inviting
one but it is false
, Mans only freedom lies in his choice
of masters. Observe who these mas
tiers are, man may choose from.
The first master who presents himself
is the mans own impulses and whims.
This is the most cruel master, man
has ever been known to slave under.
He wears himself out in impotently
trying to do as he pleases.
The next master to present himself is
the mans own system of philosophy.
The man who has his own idea of
things is a conspicuous figure in society.
He delights in ideas, he loves ideas: he
is ready to die for ideas if they are only
his own. As for the ideas of other peo-
pie he is always looking about to de-
stroy them Next to the man who fol
lows his whims and impulses, the most
wanton, unhappy, nervous slave In the

AWtlC0ME PHYSICIAN.

When q physician has thoroughly
demonstrated the possession OF unusual
ability in his specially and satisfied the
people as to his undoubted qualities of
the true professional gentleman, no one
refrains from extending him genuine
welcome.
The rare skill and courteous bearing
of DIR. L. NJ Turbin, one of the most
eminent specialists of Chicago, have
given him the patronage of a large
number of the worthy and respected
people in our immediate vicinity and
round about us.
The doctor is known best, however,
by his good works. Many of our
friends and neighbors who bad almost
despaired of ever again enjoying the
blessings of health. because of obsti-
nate chronic affections, have been
cured by him.
DIR. Turbil has attained nis promi
nencs by rig adherence to his chosen
specially. AAough lieenced to treat all
forms OF disease The branch of prac-
tice TO which he has devoted many
wears includes diseases of the pelvic
and genito-urinary organs and all
chronic affections nf men and women.
DIR Tnrbin IS constantly busy ply
stefan but he manages TO favor our pess-
pie with q days visit once every month
He is master of the latest and best
scientific methods of cure in all chronic
diseases and Is worthy the entire comb
dence of all.
DIR. Turhie will be in Wausau, Tues

SENIOR SERMON BY THE REV. FLETCHER. WHARTON.

world is the man who seeks to do
things just because he brainlessly wants
to do them.
The third master is of a composite
nature, part reason and part conscience
In this case the man puts himself under
the control of his own ideas of truth
coupled with his own peculiar notions
of right. The life that results from fol-
lowing this kind of a master is not de-
grading, initiating, nor restless. The
objection to it is that there is not room
enough in it, it is not elastic enough.
1t is too machine like; too shut in. 1t
is too much like ready made clothing.
1t fits well enough at first, but soon dis
appoints us. 1t is like attempting to
grow an oak tree under a circus tent.
The fourth master that presents him.
self is yet more of composite; he is a
constitution of reason and conscience
enforced and Illuminated with religion.
We now pull down the tent and open
to the skies. A man is right and irwin
chile, he is virtuous and on the road to
sure conquest, exactly as, through a
deep consciousness of God, he joins
himself to the deep law of the world,
and seeks to act with it.
Man is born to obey In this world
there are lords many, but man cannot
choose lower than the highest Lord and
be noble.
You are not your own. Christ calls
you to life of usefulness. The path to
greatness is the path of service.
Mr.. Wharton then enforced the worth
of service in making men valuable by
telling of the work of that great negro,
Booker T. Washington. whose solution
of the negro problem has struck such a
chord of Commentator that presidents
and kings feel themselves honored in
having him for their guest.
At the close of the address the pulpit
was thronged for while with friends
who wished to express their gratitude
for the noble and uplifting address,.

PLOSS--KlEFsR.

Wednesday evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Kiefer on Fourth
ST. their daughter, Lillian B., was united
in marriage to Donald f. Ploss. The
ceremony, which was performed by the
Rev. 5. N. Wilson, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, in the presence of
relatives and invited guests, was held
in the west parlor in front of bay win
dow made beautiful with ported plants
and cut flowers. Simplicity was the
most notable feature of the ceremony,
there being an absence of attendants
and wedding march. The bride was
dressed in white taffeta, covered with
white silk netting, and carried lilies of
the valley; the groom in evening dress.
Following the ceremony there was a
wedding supper served, with Mrs. M
II. Bedell in charge The couple de-
parted on the PAP Northwestern train
for Milwaukee, Chicago, Waukesha
and Detroit to spend two weeks, when
they will return and take up housekeep-
ing.
The bride is the third daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Kiefer. Born and
reared in Wausau she has formed about
her large number of devoted friends
who admire and hold her in high esteem
Tor ner many Womanly RraceS o. cnar-
acter.
Mr.. Ploss' former home was at Wau-
kesha but he has been a resident of
Wausau for about four years and is a
young man commanding the respect
and confidence of a wide circle of
friends gained during his residence
here. He is member of the Pardee
Drug Co.
The guests in attendance at the we'd
ding numbered about thirty, number
of these being members of the M. u.
club, of which the bride is a member.
Those from out of town were, Mrs. La
Londe, Ashland, Mrs. w. James, Oak
Park, Ill.,, and Burr Jones, Port Wash
ington. A number of their friends ac-
complained the young couple to the
depot and started them on their tour
with shower of rice.

A CLASS STONE.

The class of 1903 has added another
interesting object to the features that
characterize the High school grounds.
At the west end of the site can now be
seen beautiful granite horse block,
with the words Glass of 1902 hewn
in the face of it. 1t is unique
way of leaving some memento to
testify to the originality of this, the
largest class ever to graduate from the
High school of Wausau. 1t is said that
after the block was first placed and
the Seniors had gone home, some alert
Junior boysidragged it off with the in
tention of burying it; but happily a
few of the Seniors discovered that the
block was missing, assembled the rest
of the class and after a little search
caught the Juniors with the stone half
buried So they lugged it back again,
again cemented it and then guarded it
all night, keeping each other awake by
reciting commencement orations.

MILITARY MARVELS.
The Aurora Zouaves' Remarkable
Career at Home and Abroad.


Career at Home and Abroad.
1t is claimed for the Aurora Zouaves,
who will be seen here in connection
with the great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers United Shows, that they
are the best-drilled soldiers in the
world. The company was organized
at Aurora, ILL.,, about fifteen years ago,
and after a couple of years hard drill
ing and study they entered the inter
state military contests and never knew
what it was to be defeated. Two years
ago they went to Europe where they
were viewed by royalty and nobility,
and by large number of military au-
thorities, who universally pronounced
the Zouaves the most remarkable or
ganization of the kind that they had
ever seen They were offered all sorts
of inducements to remain many months
beyond the limit of their stay which
had been arranged when they left home.
Business and family affairs compelled
their return, however, and then a COM
bination of influences, patriotic feeling
and pecuniary compensation induced
them to show themselves to their fellow
citizens of this country. To do this
they will appear at every afternoon and
evening performance of the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Enormous
Shows United.
Diavolo will also positively appear at
each performance in his looping the
loop on a bicycle sensation, as will also
Minting, the Unicycle Marvel, twenty
four champion equestrians, forty clever
clowns and dozens of other attractions.
The date of the great shows here is
