A WAUSAU UNFORTUNATE.

A special to the Evening Wisconsin,
dated Fond du Lac, Oct. 18th, says
Mary Daney, aged II, wasyesterday
found wandering outside the city limits
and taken in charge by the police.
This morning she said she was from the
House of Good Sheppard in Milwaukee
and left that place by permission to
search for her brother at Mount Cal
vary. The department made an at
tempt to locate her relative, but were
unsuccessful Later the Milwaukee
institution was communicated with and
instructions received to send the young
woman back, which was done this
morning. She has known relatives and
was sent to Milwaukee from Wausau
several mopths since. She was without
money when found and in a pitiable
condition"
The girl above mentioned is Mary
Boeni, who with a number of other
members of the family was sent to the
House of the Good Shepherd over two
years ago, some of them having since
been placed in good homes One boy
is now living at Edgar and one is in the
Home for Feeble Minded at Chippewa
Falls. All of the children and their
parents were more or less little "off,"
and one boy was an imbecile of the
worst kind The mother died ahOut
the time the children were disposed Of
and the father continued to reside
alone in little house in the north part
of town. One morning about two
years ago a woman, in visiting his
house for the purpose of bringing him
some milk, discovered his dead body on
the floor He had died of heart disease
some days previous.

SMALL AUDIENCE.

Judge Owensby, of Texas, spoke
under the auspices of the local Roose-
velt-LaFollette club at Alexander hall
Wednesday evening to an audience of
about 200 half breeds, stalwarts, dem
ocrats, women and children. The
usual custom of showing courtesy to a
public speaker by seating number OF
well known citizens on the stage with
him was not practiced on this occasion,
for there were few business men pres
ent, G. l.. Warren alone sitting vigil
over the meeting. At the outset Mr..
Owensby remarked that it was once
said that there were two places where
you could find no republicans-in
Texas and in land with climate far
warmer than this-but he was proud to
say he was a Texas republican. He
stated that he would have nothing to
say on the state quarrel among republi-
cans but would confine himself to
national issues. He then launched
into the tariff, dwelt at length on the
panicy times from 1897, broughtout
the soup house ghost to scare those
present and in his most polished oratory
and flow of elocution painted the pow
erty stricken homes of the laboring
man who suffered during the above
mentioned panic, and importuned his
hearers to vote for Roosevelt and Fair
banks if they did nos wish recurrence
of those times. Mr.. Owensby is a
young man; be is polished man; he
also has good lungs, but the local re-
publican club made mistake when it
got him here for he is not vote maker
by any hypothesis of reasoning.

WILD BIRDS | HAVE KNOWN.
THE wALK-UP-THE-oREEK.


Have you ever heard
OF that awful bird.
Called the walk -up-the-creek by many,
With cdnth00k bill
And a ery so shrill
That iC echoed from Wausau to Jenny:
In the early days.
When the camphre's blaze
Threw its CLEANS across the water
One could hear a sound
That would shake the ground
And would make ones hot blood hotter.
This great birds wings
We're terrible things
And they made a continual rumble,
And the partridgeS drum
Was only hum
Compared with their uproar and tumble.
Its pike-pole legs
We're no little pegs,
But six inches thru or more,
While its neck was as big
As a good-sized pig,
The walk-up-the. creek
Its food would seek
Not down in the depths of the rivers,
But up small streams,
Where minnows, 1t seems,
Were mostly the giants food giveFs
After getting its fill,
IL would rest awhile till
The pangs of hunger would waken,
And then the big head
Would seek the c reek bed
Till all the small fry were taken.
We once heard IL said.
By II trapper now dead,
That walk-up-the- creek is still living;
That he saw one run,
But he had no gun
And its call it still is giving.
IL looks for its mate
Both early and late
Along the Wisconse and small feeders,
And its tracks on the shore,
And its terrible roar,
Are proofs for all skeptical readers.
We might meet bear
And still breathe the air
If running were one of the features,
But nothing can race
Al the sand throwing pace
Put on by one of these creatures.
For one hundred years.
It Will live, and our fears
Bring or strong flush of the cheek;
If we're caugut by the bird
No prayer can be heard
Meath the wings of the walk -up-the-ereek

RELICS FOUND IN MOUNDS

Six copper axes and human skull
have been dug out of some of the
many mounds in the Little Rice district.
Five or six mounds were recently
opened on the Erickson farm and the
axes and the skull found. The skull
was that of an usually large man and 1t
is believed to be part of the body of a
dwe,ler in this section probably before
the time of the Indians. The axes are
crude affairs and are similar to those
commonly called Indian sNes--Toma-
hawk Leader.

Chiropractic Adjustment
Is the New Science of Healing Without Drugs or Pain

| T is based upon correct knowledge
| of the nerves, radiating from the
great nerve center, the Spine.
In the human Backbone" there are
twenty-four Vertebrae, each one hav-
ing an intervertebrael notch. The two
vertebrae being brought together
create a window, from which emanate
bundles of nerves, spreading to all
parts of the human system.
A luxation or displacement of the
vertebrate causes the nerves to become
pinched, and PINCHED NERVES BRING
ABOUT DISEASE.
The Chiropractor's method is to
''FIX" or adjust" the luXation or dis
placement, by hand, thereby removing
the pressure and allowing the nerves
to reg n their normal condition, and
to fu their regular function of send
ing t sufficient nerve force to the
different organs of the body, as well as
establishing a normal circulation of
the blood.
Chiropractic bears no resemblance
to any other form of Practice or meth
cd of Healing. 1t is truly Natures
Cure.

ing this SCIENCE, given upon applica-

TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER
AT PORT ARTHUR.

London, Dec. 2.-The correspondent
at Che Foo of the Daily Telegraph
says that the attack on 203 Metre Hill
resulted in heavy losses to the Japa-
nese stormers. simultaneously with
this assault men of the Ninth and
Eleventh divisions advanced and
menaced the Rihlung and Kekwan
forts. 1t is stated that within the
last "a hours the Japanese casualties
have totaled $1,000, and it is asserted
that the attacks have been planned
to continue until December 10, when,
it is hoped, the capture of Port Arthur
will be completed.

THE OLD FAITH.

'"Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye in the
ways and see. and look for the old paths,
where is the good way. and walk therein,
and ye shall find rest for your souls. -
Jeremiah 616
AS g. man who is travel weary, as man
who is travel worn,
Who carries anew the CALLING loads he over
the road has borne,
Who carries anew each burden when count
ing them DER alone,
While trudging his way through bog and
fen and stumbling on bruisng stone
AS man who is travel weary remembers
the first fair way
So man goes back to the simple faith that
was all his own one day.
The simple faith he cherished; the faith in
the grass and sky,
The faith that he held in innocence with
never doubling ''Why?'-
When valley and hill and forest and every
thing that is
Was wondrously rich with a breathing
truth, and all of that truth was his;
When twilight and dawn were peacetul,
and his were the dreaming stars
The faith that he held unconscious!y ere
ever his soul had scars.
As a man who Is travel weary, he stands
on a lonely height,
And longingly looks at the stretching way
that ends in the fading light,
And yearns for the pleasant pathways as
once he sought out their end
The faith that he held in ah honest hold as
one does a faithful friend.
He turns to the unforgotten the years
when he wrought no wrong,
And seeks for the faith that once was
his-all simple and sweet and strong.

RUSSIANS CONCEDE THAT
PORT ARTHUR MUST FALL

st. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-With the
confirmation of the news that the Jap
anese have occupied 203 Metre Hill
and the report that the Russians un-
successfully attempted it's recaptpre,
officials at the war Office are beginning
to prepare themselves for the inevi-
table. Golden Hill and Liaoti Hill are
higher and dominate 203 Metre Hill,
but the officials say that if the Japa-
nese succeed in mounting heavy guns
upon the latter it probably will be
only a question of days or weeks be-
fore the fortress falls. Still, there is
not the slightest idea among Gen.
Stoessel's friends that he will sur
render.
The ships in the harbor, it can be
stated on high authority, are in no
condition to attempt to break through
the investing squadron. The guns of
the warships were long ago landed,
and the marines and sailors have been
participating in the land defence.
Some of the ships also have been in
jured by shells.

heard on the Russian southwest front,
such as has not been experienced here
for a long time, but no excitement has
been caused by the incident. Gen.
Rennenkampff, with his cavalry, is fol-
lowing the retreating Japanese, giving
them no time to occupy a position. 1t
seems that the Japanese in attempting
to seize Russian positions recently, so
extended themselves as to deplete
their reserves.
London, Dec. 3.-The possibility of
Russia trying to send her Black Sea
fleet to the far east strongly engages
the attention of England in view of
the complications which would result
If such an attempt were made. AT the
beginning of the war Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister here, question
ed Foreign Minister Lansdowne on the
subject and received the most formal
assurances that Great Britain would
oppose any attempt of the Black Sea
fleet to pass into the Mediterranean.

TWO FORTS CAPTURED
BY THE JAPANESE.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-Official dis
patches received here indicate that
the Japanese are falling back below
Sintsintin, where for several days
they had apparently been attempting
d turning movement. After four days
of tolerably severe but unsuccessful
fighting, they are now retiring, with
the Russians in pursuit.
The Russian consul at Che Foo tele-
graphs that the Japanese captured
two forts in the storming operations
against Port Arthur on November 30,
but the news is not confirmed from
any other quarter. The consul says
the Japanese losses were enormous.
The authorities of st. Petersburg
have decided to grant $4,000 to the
defenders of Port Arthur and their
families.
Toxic, Dec. Imperial headquar-
ters made the following announce
ment last night:
Our force operating against 203
Meter Hill advanced at 10 o'clock to-
day from trenches already captured
near the summit of the hill and are
now struggling for the southeastern
portion of the fort on the summit. A
fierce battle was still in progress at
o'clock"
The Japanese have captured and
now hold 203 Metre Hill.

A Great prouth In Kentucky.

Lexington. KY, Dec. 1.-Drouth in
central Kentucky is the worst in the
history of the state. Pasture lands
that have been in grass 20 years will
have to be resown, even the roots be-
ing parched. Creeks, ponds and wells
are drying up and stock is cut down
to one drink of water in "a hours in
many sections. Railroads and farm
ers are buying water at city water
works and hauling it miles. The Lex
ington reservoir is practically mex
haustible and affords the only hope
about Lexington. The big blue grass
stock farms are in dire straits.

ON A CHARGE OF FRAUD.
Detroit's Sheriff-elect Is Indicted by
Federal Grand Jury.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. County Cor
oner John d. Hoffman, sheriff elect
of Wayne county, was arrested We'd
nesday by q United States deputy
marshal on an indictment charging
him with using the United States
mails to further a scheme to defraud
the state, just as he was leaving the
police court, where he had been bound
over for trial on the charge Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses by
means of charging the investigation in
the death of Mrs. Josephine Summers
to the state when she was a resident
of this city. The federal grand jury
returned the indictment against him.
The grand jury found that Mrs. Jose
phine Summers, on the investigation
of whose death the police court case
is also based, was resident of this
city and that therefore the coroner
was not entitled to collect fees from
the state for conducting the inquest
into her death.

calculated to have cost sheep-farmers
the enormous sum of twenty-five mil

Shortly after the American ship w.

Der she was reported ashore in Chesa-
peake Bay. Word was received later
of her having been foated unharmed
and in condition to continue her barely

that took the ship TO sea was heard
from and he denied absolutely that the
vessel had been ashore or in any dan
ger. She had anchored on account of
having been ashore was carried by
fog had lifted, but before she had got
up her anchor. The Babcock left Balti-
more 129 days ago and yesterday was
quoted for reinsurance at 10 per cent.
The Babccck is one of the Sewall fleet
and is commanded by Captain MoXsen,
who was promoted to his present
charge for his gallant efforts in fight
ing fire on the ship Shenandoah, of
which he was chief officer
The American ship Bangalore is also
overdue, considerably more so than the
Babcock She is out III days from
Baltimore for Port Los Angeles and is
quoted at 10 per cent. The French
bark General Mellinet is out 137 days
from New Caledonia and 10 per cent
reinsurance is being paid On her.
The other overdues are quoted as fol-
lows: Theodor 30 per cent; Martaban,
80 per cent, and Robert Rickmers, 15
per cent.
