A GOOD PLAY.

The Opera House was completely
filled last evening, about every seat
being taken and it was necessary to
put in chairs to accommodate the
crowd. The attraction which drew out
such large house was Quincy Adams
Sawyer" and the troupe which pre-
sented it was a most excellent one,
every character being especially well
taken. In the dramatization of this
famous story, said to be the best New
England story ever written, consider
able was cut out and some parts
changed so that it could be placed upon
the stage for an evenings entertain
ment, and the story is improved thereby
rather than injured. The entire play
is characterized by its simplicity and
acting that was as near to true life as
any that has ever been given in this
city. When the large crowd left the
Opera House it was with a satisfied
feeling that all had gotten their moneys
worth. Quincy Adams Sawyer has
left an impression that will fill the
Opera House again for him at any
future date. The company know how
to advertise successfully and backed up
with such corps of artists is being met
with full houses everywhere.

THINKS MILWAUKEE is THE
PLACE TO INVEST.

Alexander Stewart was in Milwaukee
on Monday and was interviewed by q
Milwaukee Sentinel reporter as follows
ct looks to me-" said Alexander
Stewart of Wausau at Hotel Ptister yes
terday, "that our respected uncles,
Daniel Wells and Isaac Stephenson
struck on a peculiarly wise way OF
building monument to themselves
and at the same time investing their
capital where it will bring a steady in
come for their heirs when they put up
the Wells building. "At pres
ent am doing pretty well at Wausau
and expect TO have logs enough to keep
me going for several years, but it is
well to look out for the future. OF
course there is lots of chance to invest
in the west and south, but if | should
want to quit numbering when Wiscon-
sin goes out of the business it seems to
me that about the best thing to do
would be to build in Milwaukee-not
any suburban residences, but big
office building right down town
If L should make such plans, you
will hear of it in time; at present | am
only talking of what might happen in
the future"
1t has been thought for long time
Mr.. Stewart might take it into his head
to build for himself a monument in
Wausau, where he has lived for the past
45 years and grown wealthy. But, of
course, such an investment may not be
as profitable as one made in Milwaukee
would be.

At the special services held Sunday
at St. PauPs church, Rev. Hirta, of Mil
waukee, spoke at the morning meeting
while in the afternoon the congrega-
TONS first pastor, Rev. HenryWaldman,
of St Cloud, Mimi, and Rev. Paul
Gehm, of Schoieid, delivered adj
dresses. Rev. Hirtz also spoke in
the evening and fine musical pro-
gram of fifteen numbers was rendered
Among the special musical numbers
was the rendition of ''Tannhauser," by
Wagner, "Andanta in F." by Wely,
and tConmnnion in G." by Batiste,
given by Miss Martha Schaer and "a
Selection" by Smart, giveL by Miss
Lulu Stuhlfauth, the vocal numbers
given by Mrs. +. w. Kickbusch, Jr.,
Misses Nina Miller and Marie Stuhl-
fauth and the singing of chorus of
fifty voices, the Liederkranz and the
children's choir, altogether making a
very enjoyable and profitable evening.
Two numbers by Fred, Kickbusch, Jr.,
had to be cancelled, owing to that
gentleman's voice being impaired by a
bad cold An addition has recently
been built on the church for the install
lation of the pipe organ, the interior of
the edifice has been nicely decorated
and other Improvements made, and the
occasion was the reopening of the
church. There was a very large attend
anee at all the meetings.
w. HI. Heidman and Albert Donovan,
the two I. A. Chapman statesmen ar
rested some months ago for selling
goods in Wausau without city license,
were in the city again yesterday. They
worked all day and did land office
business through the free advertising
they have received since their last APP
pearance The merchants of the large
cities learned long ago that to be sue
cessful in the trade one must have adj
vertising. whether it comes free or
otherwise. The above named agents
and others, representing stores of the
large cities, who have dropped in here
since the recent supreme court decision,
will continue to visit Wausau regularly
hereafter. There appears to be a de-
mand for them. An employee of the
Bells house informed us that while
these agents are in town people come
to the hotel Unsolicited TO look over
their samples and make purchases
Why do not our home merchants get
this trade Something is wrong Can
it be that they don't keep the goods. or
thai they charge too much for them :
Certainly not. Can it be that the home
merchants are behind the light house
in their advertising that they have the
same wares but keep the fact hid from
the publics For answer scan your
local papers and count the merchants
names you VIII find in them.

Athens. This, it is thought, will result
in bringing the body to light, for the
farmers and others living in that vicin-
ity have became greatly interested in
the matter and are spending all their
spare time in looking for the body.
Sunday the sheriff, district attorney and
a number of others went over from here
and succeeded in organizing three large
searching parties but nothing was
found. Monday party was out about
"a mile south of Athens and found the
clothes, letters and other effects of
Smith hidden back of brush pile,
them out of the satchel. This it is
thought was done just before entering
Athens. Dan Bilsie, when he saw
Young at the Poniatowski saloon the
Gay Smith disappeared, was of the
opinion that the buggy tracks came
out of a road leading west of the school
house south of Poniatowski This road
leads into heavily wooded country
that has not yet been visited by any
searching party. VIM. Nagel, while
being taken to Waupun Monday to
serve a sentence for larceny, informed
the sheriff that farmer living in that
section had seen Young and Smith
driving in on that road that day A
short distance west is a number of old
logging camps and near them well.
party started out from Athens this
afternoon, provided with hooks and
ropes, and will search the well in hopes
of finding the body in it.
Since the appearance of the elder
Smith, Young has showed an uneasi-
ness. From words he has unguardedly
spoken to another prisoner it is plainly
his desire to break Jail, or escape in
some way at the first opportunity.
Among his effects and also in the
clothes found in the satehel belonging
to Smith, but which Young was found
in possession of, there are several arti-
cles of clothing that have blood on
them, but whether this signifies any
thing or not may appear later. Judg
ing Young by his actions of late some
are of the opinion that if the body is
found. and if he is really guilty of muir
der, that he will T. sse q confession.

IN SEARCH OF SON.


Geo. S. Smith, of Whitney township
Aranac county, Mich, father of Edward
Smith, who SO mysteriously disappeared
from Athens on Aug 81, arrived in the
city Friday, accompanied by neigh
Dor, Thos. Armstrong. They spent a
short time at Athens making inquiries
and came here to consult with the dis
trict attorney and sheriff and returned
to Athens Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of making an systematic effort
in finding the body of the son.
Mr.. Smith stated to reporter for
this paper that he last heard from his
son the week preceding his disappear
ance; that at that time he informed his
parents he would leave Athens on the
10Th or 9th of August The family home
is not far from summer resort called
Point Lookout on Saginaw bay of Lake
Huron, and he asked his father to meet
him there, Sept. 5. He intended buying
ticket at Edgar for Manitowoc, cross
ing the lake from there and 60 by rail
to Port Huron and by excursion boat to
Point Lookout. He never arrived at
that place and the father began making
inquiries with the result that the sus-
picions of the people of Athens was
communicated to him.
The son was twenty-three years of
age, a hard worker, dutiful boy, and
the presumption that he might have
gone somewhere else the father scouts.
He is firm in his belief that the boy has
met with foul play. The father learned
since coming here that Young owed
his son some money and promised to
pay him when they arrived at Edgar,
though where he was to get the money
is not made clear.
Since being confined in the jail here
Young has written a letter to Mr.
Smith in which he asks for information
in regard to Edwards arrival home,
and expresses a hope that everything
will turn out right that he may be liber-
ated from jail. He shows in his letter
familiarity with the names of the diff
ferent members of the family, although
he is almost an entire stranger to them.
Mr.. Smith only knows the fellow by
reputation, which he says is an I'M
savory one. He lives at place named
Beaverton in an adjoining county and
is said to have served time IL the Jack
son prison for horse stealing, also two
long Jail sentences for viscious assaults
upon citizens, one of them preacher,
and has been in Jail for numerous other
offenses, making him generally known
as bad man. Young and Smith were
both hoop makers by trade, and it was
by chance that they were thrown into
one another's companioEship at Athens.
Mr.. Smith is farmer and an old man
and is sadly depressed in mind and
spirit over his sons disappearance.
His wife has been i'll, for which reason
the son was going home, and the fear
of the boys fate has been a sad blow to
her. Edward was the third eldest of
six children. 1t was the first time he
was ever away from home, and his
home coming would have been well
coined with joy.
Sheriff Chellis held a conference with
the chairman and other members of the
county board last week and it was de-
cided that the county offer a reward of
$500 for the recovery of Smiths dead
body. Notices to that effect have been
printed and posted in and around
