first time, what he declares to be the

General Cabells interesting eontlbu-

follows:
when the Confederate Army, COM

the Federal Army. confronted each
other at Manassas. it was seen that the
Confederate flag and the Stars and
Stripes looked at a distance so much
alike that it was hard to distinguish
one from the other General Beaure-
gard, thinking that serious mistakes
might be made in recognizing our
troops. after the battle of the 18th OF
July. at Blackburn Ford. ordered that
a small red badge should be worn on
the left shoulder by our troops; and. as
was Chief Quartermaster. ordered me
to purchase a large quantity of red
flannel and to distribute to each regi

graphed to come at once to Fairfax
Courthouse. I found Generals Beaure
gard and Johnston in Beauregard's Of
fee discussing the kind of flag that
should be adopted.
General Johnston's flag was in the
shape of an ellipse: a rcd flag with
blue ST Andrews cross and stars or
the cross (white) to represent the dif
ferent Southern states. (No white
border of any kind was attached to this
cross). General Beauregard's was 6

A STRENUOUS EDITOR.

Considerable excitement was occa
stoned Friday afternoon at the North
ern hotel when the editor of 1.-THE oldest
paper in Marathon county, went after
doctor to collect bill of $3.50 fol
advertising rendered the man of pills
Everyone has READ the stories oi
thrilling experiences related by thG
editor of the Arizona Kicker who en-
joys the distinction of having private
cemetery of his own making, and the
readers of the Cent, we mean the
readers of a certain Wausau paper may
next week be entertained by the re-
lation Of just such story, one that
happened right here in Wsusau. The
story as it is told to us is about as fol
lows:
Some months ago a fellow wearing g
plug" hat and claiming to be con.
nected with st. Luke's hospital, the
location of which he failed to state,
paid Wausau visit and gave the local
papers advertising matter to run for
him. The publisher of one of these
papers, at the fellows visit a month
ago, presented him with bill sending
his foreman to collect it, The man of
silk tile refused to pay the bill. Friday
he visited Wausau again and the editor
went after him with hammer and
tongs. He again refuse to pay. When
an editor starts out to do a thing he
usually accomplishes it. The word
"fail' cannot be found in his lexicon
and so this one determined to get that
$3.50 if he had to take it out of the
doctors hide. He choked him with a
vice like grip that turned the fellows
face from death like paleness to a
dark blue. When he finally let go the
doctor made a bolt and went up town
in search of policemen. To the chief
he told his troubles but the latter in
formed him that he had better pay his
bill. Later he got a revolver and went
cunning" after the editor, but ran into
officer German, who, noticing the re-
volver sticking out of his pocket, took
it away from him. German afterwards
got the bill and held the fellow at the
depot that evening until he paid it; but
did not return him the revolver. He
could have been prosecuted for carry
ing concealed weapons but it was
thought better not to go to the expense
of OBTAINING him, for it is not likely he
will ever be seen in these parts again
to cause any further trouble.

M0SlNEE.

On Sunday last class of twenty-five
boys and girls received their First Holy
Communion at St Paups church. AS
befitted a religious occasion of joyous
import the church presented scene of
exceeding beauty. Flowers abounded
everywhere. Rare white st. Joseph's
lilies decorated the top of the high altar
while back of the numerous lighted
candles were banks of beautiful flowers.
Side affairs, pedestals and windows
werea pleasure to the eye, with their
ported plants and freshly cut bouquets.
Within the sanctuary, ferns and palms
were artistically placed The young
communicates on their way to the altar
passed under beautiful arch of ever
greens and roses. The address to the
class by the Rev. Father Vadder showed
the earnest solicitude of kind pastor
in their future religious welfare
In the afternoon the beautiful SER
vice of Benediction was held, after
which the boys and girls were enrolled
in the order of the scapular. The per-
feet weather added greatly to he sue
cess of the day and there was large
attendance from out of town. On
Monday morning High Mass was cele-
brated at nine o'clock, after which the
Sunday School classes and young chill
dren of the congregation to the number
of one hundred repaired to delightful
pine grove, where lunches were spread,
and lemonade, ice cream, candy and
various other good things provided by
Father Vadder were INDUCED in. 1t
was happy day, one never to be for
gotten, and too much can not be said
in praise of the Reverend pastor, who
has worked so faithfully with these
young people for the past year and it is
apparent that he enjoys the respect
and confidence of them all.

HANDSOME COURT ROOM.

The work of making alterations in
the court room of the county building
has been completed, and yesterday the
county board public property COM
mittee met and accepted the work.
The room as it now is, is greatly
changed in appearance, and is one OF
the most handsome court rooms in the
state. The ceiling has been lowered
some and with the walls is covered
with pulp material of about an inch
in thickness. This in turn is covered
with burlaps, the walls of light green,
the ceiling of yellow. Moulding or
lamentations of green and gold are
laid with good effect, while in the CEN
ter of the room is q dome about five
feet in height Stucco commentators,
corner pieces, ETC., enhance the appear
ance of the ceiling, all of Greek design.
The object in making these changes
were partly to better the appear
ance of the room, but mainly for
acoustic effect, and it is thought in
the construction of the dome this
obstacle has been surmounted. 1t is
the opinion that lawyers, judge, jury
or court reporter will now have no diff
ticulty in hearing the words of
witnesses. The work was done by HI.
L. Mumm and is credit to that gen.
tleman's ability as decorator. The
woodwork will be reprinted in a few
days, and the benches and ratings
again placed in order. Phillip Dean,
Wausau's popular architect, designed,
laid out and planned the work and
there is no doubt but he has met and
rendered every defect in the room so
far as acoustic properties are con-
oerned

DEATH OF MRS. M. D. COREY.

Last night, Monday July 18th. 1903,
Mrs. NJ. ID. Corey, passed from this life
at her home, on jefferson street, of
appendicitis. The end came at eleven
O'Clock, after critical illness of two
days. Mrs, Corey was known to every
old citizen of Wausau, and to nearly all
who had resided here any length of
time, and to all the sad news of her
death, coming SO unexpectedly, caused
deep sorrow throughout our city.
While not what one would call a strong,
robust woman, Mrs. Corey, always en-
joyed good health and was very active,
especially for one of her age, up to
about four weeks ago, when she CON-
planned of not feeling well; this con-
tinued-though she was able to be
about-until Sunday morning, when
she was taken violently ill with APP
pendicitis. The family physician held
out very little hopes of her recovery
and her only brother, A. w. McLaugh-
lin, of Plainfield, and grandson, DR..
Anderson, of Chicago, were sent for and
arrived here before death came. From
early Monday morning until the end
she was unconscious.
Britannia Mclaughlin Corey, was
born in Chazy, Clinton county, New
York, on the 1St day of November, 1926.
She resided there until 184S, when
she came West with her parents, to
Win county, Illinois. They remained
there one year and then came to Wau-
sau, in 1849. Mrs. Mclaughlin, Mrs.
Corey's mother, was the third woman
that came to this city. On the Both
day of April, 1851, deceased was united
in marriage to M d. Corey, who was
one of the prominent business men of
our city in those early days, and one
beloved and greatly esteemed by all.
His death occurred on the gath day
of December, 1871. To them were
born two daughters, Mrs. V. A.
Anderson, who resides in Wausau, and
Miss Jessie A. Corey who died on the
14th of July, 1881, her death also being
caused from appendicitis.
Mrs. Corey, for over fifty years, had
occupied The property on Jefferson
and Third streets. Her first house
stood where the First National bank
now is, and when she made sale of that
property, she moved her residence east
of the bank on ground which was the
original Corey property. She was
woman of excellent judgment, which
age did not seem to impair in the least.
Her proverbiai good nature, charitable
disposition and kindly ways, made her
beloved by all who knew her.
She leaves, besides the daughter
mentioned above, one brother, A. w.
Mclaughlin, of Plainfield, Wis, who is
now in the city.
The funeral will take place from the
home on Wednesday afternoon at three
O'Clock, the Rev. B B Gibbs officiating
