STOLE A WHEEL.

The New London Press, of Fridays
issue, relates the story of a man of that
town losing a bicycle and of the pursuit
of stranger to Clintonville, who was
captured with the wheel and who turns
out to be young man well known here.
Some years ago this fellow was in
trouble here at frequent intervals until
taken to the reform school by Thos.
Malone, then sheriff Since being par
oiled from Waukesha he has given the
Wausau police little trouble, for he has
not been here very much of the time.
The Press article says of the young
man:
Tuesday evening the prisoner was
brought before Justice Millerd for ex-
animation. He acknowledged his guilt
and said he was the son of Geo. Mericle
formerly of Maple Creek, but later of
Wausau. His father died II years ago
when he was at the age of years,
making his present age 10 years. He
had some clothing in a bundle and two
dollars in money. He had been work
ing in ll'9ois and was on his way home
to Wausau
"He appeared quite hard looking
character and ignorant, but probably
not as ignorant as he looked. The JUS
tice fined hirl 1928 and the costs, amount
ing to SIG more, in default of which he
was sentenced to ninety days at the
Outagamie county workhouse When
taking him to the depot to 90 to Apple
ton Wednesday morning, he 1ried to es-
cape from the officer by running
through the garden at Chas. Cross
place on Pearl street and Chief Furst at
once fired several shots after him and
ran in a shorter direction. 1t seems the
prisoner circled the New London bot
Ting house and came back to the side
walk to get his bundle which he dropped
when escaping and ran into the officer
whom he supposed had followed in his
track instead of making a short cut
The chief now put handouts ON the
prisoner and went on his way TO the
depot AS the train pulled out for APP
pleton the prisoner shook his fists at
Justice Millerd, who was standing on
the platform

Many From the South Up
There For the Summer.
Flag Raising at Senator Kreutzer's
Cottage on the Fourth a Not
able Event the Past Week.


1t is astonishing what popular place
Northern Wisconsin is getting to be,
especially for those who reside in the
sweltering middle and southern states.
The different railroads which pass
through the forests of this section and
touch the shores of many of its Deauti-
full lakes. are now running double the
number of cars they did month ago,
filled with pleasure seekers. The st.
Paul passenger train, which the writer
boarded the other morning for Plum
lake, carried so maay passengers that
many had to stand up in the aisles until
Merrill and Tomahawk were reached.
Besides, there were more ears attached
than one engine could pull and make
time hence the train was about two
hours late at all northern points. TO
the casual observer there is reason for
this travel to tile north; it is to get in
some cool, seaIestered spot on one of
the thousands of pretty lakes which dot
Northern Wisconsin. The cars retained
their living freight until HaZelhurst,
Minocqua, Plum Lake and Star Lake
were reached and at each Of these pop
ular resorts there was an exodus. The
hotels at all the summer resorts are
filled. Not alone with those who live
in Wisconsin bat by people from Hi
nois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and the
southern states, generally. The resi-
dents of Northern Wisconsin do not
seem to appreciate what they have at
their very doors, viz: Beautiful forests
that will never be wholly destroyed by
the woodmen's axe. True, the
understandable pine timber has been cut
off, but there still remains the young
pine, which, together with the other
kinds of timber, make the density of
the forests all that can be desired. And
the beautiful lakes which are scattered
over this part of the state, makes it a
veritable paradise for those who seek
cool and comfortable place to spend the
hot months of summer. NOtwithstand-
ing, cottage sites on these lakes can now
be had for almost the asking, the time
will come when they cannot be had for

A FEW NOTES OF NORTHERN WISCONSIN
LAKES, ESPECIALLY OF PLUM.

G.. b. Bird arrived here on Saturday
to join his family and he will remain
until next Saturday.
Miss Ethel Roberts, who spent the
past week at the cottage of MIR. and
Mrs c. B. Bird, returned to her home
in Wausau on Thursday evening.
Miss Hermoine Silverthorn, after the
camping party on Little Arbor Vitae
broke up, on Friday, visited a few days
at the cottage of Mr.. and Mrs. +. B..
Thayer on Plum.
Both hotels-O w. Sayner's and Her
bert Warner's-are quite we'll filled,
probably 70 guests in both. They can
take care of all who come and their
prices are very reasonable. Both have
the reputation of furnishing excellent
things to eat, and their boats are as
safe and easy running as any made.
There are about twenty-five cottages
scattered about this lake and all but
two or three are opened. They are
owned by people living in Chicago,
Kansas City, Milwaukee, Wausau and
other places. The kreUtzer, Bird and
Thayer cottages are now occupied with
families and their guests. The Schol-
field. Harger, McCrossen and G0oding
cottages are not yet opened but will be
during the next week.
Senator Kreutzer has caught some
very fine fish since Messrs. Quarles
Jones, Silverthorn, Brown and Park
left. He says that he cannot ever
make them believe he caught four bass,
each weighing four pounds, and a mus
callonge weighing twelve pounds, and
many smaller fish, but he did and he
has witnesses to prove it. Mrs. kreutzer
and, children came up en- Saturday and
will remain until sometime in August
Mr.. Kreutzer went down tO Wausau
Monday on business.
A most distinguished party of gentle
men was entertained last week by Sen
ator A. L. Kreutzer at his cottage, viz
u. S. Senator j V. Quaries, of Milwau-
kee; Burr w. Jones and Justice j. b.
Winslow, of Madison; Byron Park, of
Stevens Point; Judge W. e. Silver
thorn and Hon. Neal Brown, of Wau
sau. They spent the time in fishing
and enjoying themselves generally

.Spooning" feature ot matrlmoD!,i Alliances Has Been Wholly
 Done Away With.

The honeymoon. as the term usually implies, is about as scarce in this sec tion as snowballs in August We do not mean to convey that our people never get married for weddings are getting of such common occurrence that The boys forget to serenade the contracting party any longer, says q local exchange.
 When one of our young couples gets married, they do not spend month honeymooning ike it is the custom in the east. but they settle down to the routine of life with the one har- monious purpose of building up comfortable and happy home. Instead of "speoning2 around over the eoun- try, attracting attention of everybody, looking sickeningly loyable and call. ing each other all kinds of sweet little "chestnuts," ," the newly married may be found at work the next day follow. ing the nuptials. It may be the bride will put out q big washing, while the other half will be found ploughins corn and carrying water simultane, ously.
 And this Is not result of lack of respect for the naptial relation ship, but the opposite. The average benedict here is highly respectful of his marriage relation. No one is more cautious 10 recognize the rights and wishes of his wife than he. Always upon leaving the house he takes the precaution 10 kiss her good-by, under penalty of turning prematurely bald or inviting some other calamity equal ly as undesirable. This is evidence of his devotion. but his wife is no less attentive and on the whole few of OUT married couples have ever found it necessary to dissolve partnership.
 But the period known as the honeymoon has dropped ont. 1t is a dead letter in this part of Oklaho- ma, and some of us older folks are mighty glad of it.
