MORE ABOUT THAT GAME.

After writhing in intense humiliation
for the1ast week, incurred by the ironi-
cal pen of the Daily Record reporter
and his able prompter, have recovered
to the eXtebt of entering few plain
tive remarks.
! wish to state that | fully appreciate
the fact that this exchange of articles
for the past week is not only develop
ing into child play but is accomplishing
nothing. To be brief, in my first ar
ticle | merely censured the clustering
reporter for deceiving the public by
publishing fictitious account of the
much referred to foot ball game. /
asked him why he credited the college
boys with gaining but eighteen yards of
ground during the entire game and
giving the public the impression that
the high school team simply showed
them under, when he knew, as did
every other spectator present, that this
was miserable falsehood The college
boys recognize the defeat but insist that
it was not a dishonorable one. | might
also have asked him why he took such
tiendish delight in crediting one indi-
vidual with every tumble that occurred
during the game, which was no less
than five To give vent to any personal
animosity that may exist between re-
porter and an individual player, is
leagues below the dignity of any gentle
man. Perhaps this does not appeal to
him
In his replies he said that the umpire
was rotten; that the high school de-
feated the college boys in a practice
game that followed; that the college
team was composed of players attend
ing the institution, and a hundred aud
one nonsensical statements that have
no bearing on the subject whatever
Each exchange has developed an addi-
tional query of this kind and | fear that
should it be continued much longer he
would ask me the shortest distance to
the moon.

DENIES The ACCUSATION.

Yesterday morning Tom Malone,
chief of police, picked up man on the
street, who from his actions the former
knew to be insane. He was taken to
the city lookup and confined until the
chief could communicate with the
county asylum when he found that the
man was harmless and had been sent
over to the Lille farm on the west side
of the river to take care of the stock, it
being the intention TO drive the cattle
over to the asylum farm that day for
keeping during the winter, With this
information the fellow was liberated
and allowed to go his way. The arrest
had its laughable phase, however.
While being taken to the lookup Rollie
Green drove by with his bus whereup-
on the insane man inquired, "Do you
know that fellow p The chief ans
wered II do" The insane man then
said THAT fellow was confined in the
asylum at Oshkosh with me for seven
years This is news to Rollie's friends.
While he has lived on fish and other
brain enervating diets for some time
past, it has not been suspected that it
was for the purpose of overcoming a
condition of non cOmpoS mentis Rollie
gives the story the lie, however, by
positively asserting that he never
crossed the boundary line of Marathon
county in his life,

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.

The village of Brokaw is somewhat
stirred up with excitement over the dis
appearance of JAS. Murphy, who was
last seen early Tuesday morning of last
week Murphy went to work for the
company Oct "a and was employed on
one of the large machines. He was not
a very ompanionabe fellow, was
averse to making acqdaintances and
spent his Spare time apparently in
brooding over something. He was
restless in the mill and at intervals
whe1 the men would get caught up
with their work and would get time to
loaf he would pace the floor, though
he did not neglect his work. He was
working on the night shift and shortly
before the hour for closing down the
mill Tuesday morning he was seen to
take his coat and depart from the mill
Later his coat was found in a closet but
Murphy was no where to be seen and
he had not gone to the boarding house
for breakfast. After waiting a reason
able time for his return the crew drag
ged the river below the dam but without
result and searches have since been
made along the river The suicide
theory is brought out by the fact that
in the coat pocket was a note book with
lnC 1OllOWlnS pun doC NlIOtCh lhClOlh
"Monday-I will close the deal myself
and the fault is not my own. God be
with us; he knows" This was signed
y M The suicide theory is further
strengthened by the fact that one of the
girls employed in the mills claims to
have seen the body of man floating in
the wafer that morning, and further,
the man had two weeks wages due him
which he did not draw as he most likely
would have done had he intended leav-
ing the village. He is described as be-
ing about twenty-five years of age and
of light stature. His previous home is
not. known, nor was anything found
among his effects by which anything of
his past life might be learned. The
company has made inquiry of the police
departments of the larger cities and
will attempt to learn something of him.

MISS GEORGIA HARPER IN
CAMILLE.

The wonderful story of Camille, Alex
ander Dumas, Jr's conception of the
most remarkable character ever created
in fiction. is best interpreted by the
Georgia Harper company. Miss Geor-
gia Harper has well been termed born
actress, and in Camille she best verities
the truth of this statement. A woman
of the world stricken with pure love
sacrifices everything for Armand Duval
the object of her affection, and then for
his sake, at the request of his father,
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1903-11-10

she even sacrifices her life for him. No
greater demonstration was ever given
of the power of love, and no greater
sacrifice was ever made than that of
Camille Miss Harper is Camille from
the rising of the curtain to the death
scene as the curtain goes down on the
last act. Her work is so, realistic that
it is long after the play is over until one
can convince ones self that it is only a
play and not real life presented. 1t is
safe to say that Miss Harper has not a
superior as Camille on the American,
or any other stage. In this great play
especially staged and costumed for her
she is supported by one of the strongest
companies that could be organized.
MIR. DERRICK as Armand Duyal ranks
next to Miss Harper as an actor, and
MIR. j e. Harper as the elder Duval is
especially strong in the support.

"Let us consult nature" exhorts a
contributor to an agricultural paper.
"The apple likes a dry atmosphere, the
air is continually circulating about 1t,
and 1t grows in the light. 1t Is not
SO with the potato; but apples and
potatoes are both stored in the cellar,
treated in the same way-decidedly
against nature" Yet the moral OF
this deliverance is not, Remove the
apples" but simply, "Ventilate your
cellars in winter as well as in sum-
mer"-and that sterling rule applies
equally well to the rest Of the house
Fresh air does no harm to those who
resemble potatoes. and it Is indispen-
sable to those who are more like ap'
