ROBBED OF $500.

There is no question but what the
Forepaugh and Sells circus was as
clean one, in every respect, as has
ever came to the city, and it is also
true that if there is gang of toughs
following the great show, it did not
work the unsophisticated of this city.
Nevertheless, on circus day, F. j. Schu-
bring, of Hatley, either lost, or had his
pocket picked to the tune of $500. Four
hundred dollars of the amount was in
checks AID 800 in cash. The checks
will not be a loss, because Mr.. Schu-
bring had not endorsed them and no.
tice was given the banks here yester-
day not to cash them. Mr. Schubring
had come up to attend the circus and
had his two little children. He carried
the smaller one and had the other by
the hand and, no doubt while thus en-
gagged, his pocket was picked. He did
not discover his less until he got on to
the train to return to his home 1t was
very careless thing for Mr.. Schubring
to carry such an amount in his pocket
at any time, but on circus day, it
amounted to gross carelessnesS.

REV. HON NE cGAD.

The Rev Evan j.. Homme, founder of
Wittenberg, and one of the most widely
known men of the state, died at his
home yesterday morning from diabetis.
The funeral will take place Friday.
Mr.. Homme was we'll known in this
city and for years made weekly visits
to Wausau. His birthplace was at
Thelemarken, Norway, Oct. II, 1S43.
He came to America in 1854 and settled
in Dane county wis. From the element
airy schools he entered Concordia semi
nary at ST. Louis and, after three years
study there, was ordained a minister.
His first charge was at Winchester,
Winnebago county, this state. He re-
NAMED in charge there from 1867 until
1880.
In the dead of winter of that year he
came into this, then wilderness, being
commissioned by the synod to find a
location for the synod's proposed home
for orphans and aged The end of the
railway was then nine miles south of
what is now Wittenberg and Mr.. HON.
me walked that distance through the
swamps and selected the site for that
town, naming it Wittenberg in honor
OF Martin Luther's birthplace in Ger
many. The name of the place and the
efforts of Mr.. Homme drew the German
Lutherans' attention and they estab-
lished school there The Norwegian
home was built in 1892 Six years ago
he completed new home just outside
the village with accommodations for
more than 200 orphans, and the old
building became the home for the aged
A large acreage of timber and farm
lands, a sawmill and factory and a
printing Office from which are issued
the Norwegian dagskole Bladet and the
semi-monthly Christian YOUTH gave
the inmates of the home opportunity to
fit themselves by practical industrial
training for the battles of life.
Mr. Homme was a man of indomit-
able energy and has accomplished what
would have been impossible to many
men. He was married in 1869 and is
survived by his wife and eight children.

BUSINESS UNIVERSITY CLOSES.

r. F. Davis, owner of the Wausau
Business University has consolidated
his interests with F. j. Toland, of La
Crosse, and by the deal Wausau loses
a good institution, for The fixtures of
the above school will be sold and the
rooms closed. This school was estab-
lished in September, 1898, by Mr. Toll
and, and it was purchased by Mr.. Davis
in July of last year, the latter having
been in charge of it ever since lis es-
Enlistment. The school has enjoyed a
fair patronage, though not as large as it
deserved, the principal difficulty being
that boarding places could not be found
for students at suitable terms to the
latter. 1t is not because the school was
not paying that it is to be closed, but
since being purchased by MIR. Toland
the latter desires to centralize his
interests and conduct only those schools
nearer to his home. He now has uni
vcrsities at La Crosse, Winona, MINI,
Mason City, Spencer and Oelwein, Ia,
and will open one at Madison, perhaps
in charge of Mr.. Davis. Our people re-
greet the loss of the school for it brought
good class of students here, and has
been a model institution of learning
that has turned out innumerable
graduates now filling responsible posi-
tons. The work has been conducted in
business like method by Mr. Davis
and a corps of competent teachers who
have spared no pains assisting the adj
vancement of students. Mr. and Mrs.
Davis will leave Wausau in few days,
though they regret the move.

DEATH OF WIN. DODGE.

William Dodge, one of Wausau's old.
est and most highly esteemed citizens,
died at his home on Mcclellan street,
Sunday morning, June 2lst, 1908, after
an illness of about one month resulting
from a paralytic stroke. While MIR.
Dodge's condition was such that not
much hope could be held out by the
family doctor of his ultimate recovery,
still his relatives and friends thought
that change for the better might take
place and could not bring themselves
to realize that the end of this good man
was near at hand. For nearly fifty
years, William Dodge has resided in
Wausau. He came here when a young
man and at time when there were
few inhabitants in the pinery and
when it took great courage to face
the hardships which must have been
very apparent, one would have to pass
through to gain a livelihood, but like
many another of the sturdy band of
pioneers who came here and laid the
foundations for the future growth of
our city, he willingly placed his shout
der to the wheel and was ever found
s@ooring for the good and advancement
of our city and the comfort of his fellow
men, and for this and his happy faculty
of always looking upon the bright side
of life, made him beloved by all of his
acquaintance and to them and his rel
atives his death brings profound sor-
row.
William Dodge was born in McDon-
'eugh, Chemango county, New York
state, August II, 1926, making him now
nearly II years of age. Much of his
early manhood days were spent in and
about Rochester but in June, 1854, he
came west, settling in Wausau, where
he has resided ever since. Mr.. Dodge
enlisted in Company G., 18th Wiscon-
sin volunteers, in 1861, at the beginning
of the Civil war, serving until its close,
four years later. He was married Aug.
8, 1869 in Wausau to Sarah Wright,
who survives him with her two sons,
Charles and William.
The funeral services were conducted
from the home, at 1O8 Mcclellan street,
this Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. S. N.
Wilson preaching an appropriate SER
mon. At the close of this service Cutler
Post, of which deceased was valuable
member, took charge of the remains,
and the service at the grave, in accord
ance with an oft expressed wish of Mr..
Dodge, were of the q. A. r. ritualistic
order.

WON SOME MONEY.

w. R, Hoppe, Frank and Otto Mathie,
Otto Mueller, Hilmer Schmidt and AL
bert LipiEski returned home last even
ing from the national Schuetzenfest
held at St. Louis, and brought with
them about $500 in prize money, sew
eral gold medals and more laurels for
Wausau. They succeeded in making
inc second highest team shoot, scoring
1245 points, being defeated for first
place by st. Louis by four points. VIM.
Hoppe got the first centre shot on one
target that Melted him $50 and he Sc
cured altogether about 800 Albert
Lipinski made the second best score on
the union target, for which he received
$50, and in addition to this he got
about $50 on other targets. Otto Muel-
Ter won about S85, Otto Mathie about
$65, Frank Mathie about $50 and Hilmer
Schmidt about $40. The boys complain
OF unsportsmanlike methods that were
in vogue at the shoot. For instance,
Otto Mathie had the highest score for
two days on the union target but the
third day was defeated by two profess
SIGNALS from Massachusetts, hired and
sent there by gun manufacturer.
There were fourteen competing teams
in the shoot, altogether about 165
marksmen. The Wausau party report
having had nice time. They visited
the Worlds Fair grounds and state
there is yet much to see of interest in
the flood district. On going down, the
train was unable to get into the city,
and they had the pleasure of boat
ride through some of the streets. Some
houses are nearly covered and at one
point the smoke stack of locomotive
can be seen sticking up out of the
wafer.

ticket to Pittsburg, Pa, and about three
| dollars in money-all she had. In
some way she lost the pocket book and
became nearly frantic from fright.
The police furnished her lodging that
night at the City hotel, and made an
effort to locate the pocket book. 1t
was later found near the opera house
by some boys, still containing the ticket
but minus the money, and was returned
to TIE woman, who was overjoyed at
the return of her ticket. 1t is thought
that in walking about the depot the
pocket book dropped out of her shirt
waist unuoticed, and that it was picked
up by some one from the city, who after
extracting the money threw it away.
w. b. Schol6eld drove over to the

The train had pulled in near Werle's

riage watching the six and eight horse
teams pulling the heavy loads through
the sand. A couple of old-timers stand
ing to one side, considered that Mr..

that be had better move before wagon

or he might get into trouble, bat he was
unmindful of the danger and informed
the o. I. that he guessed he was able to
take care of himself and remarked
further that he mad seen few unload
ings before. The load came along but
stuck in the sand near where the con-
yersation had been carried on; the
driver turned his horses TO the left,
