A WORD FROM w. G. WlTTER.

The Wood County Reporter had a
letter from Willis G. Witter, who is now
an attorney at law of Berkley, Cal, in
its last issue, in which he says:
while lost all my library, papers,
etc, in the great fire, we did not suffer
in the earthquake, as my home is in
Derkley and all my property is outside
the city in Oakland, Coutra Costa
county, and San Luxs, Obispo In
deed, anomalous as it may appear, |
benefited by the great advance in rents
and values of Oakland business prop
critics. The growth of Oakland which
was surely coming was precipitated
ten years by the calamity in San
Francisco.
For some time, l believe, Oakland,
Berkley, Alameda, the territory across
the bay, will have the majority of popu-
llation Still there is only one San
Francisco. imperial in position, daunt-
less in spirit, unequaled in energy,
boundless in ambition. The new city
is already stirring in the embers of the
old and she will soon resume her sway
as Queen of the Pacific and the Orient.
Mistress of all the trade that reaches
| from the Panama TO the Artic and from
thence to Asia and all the islands Of the
sea-
Mr.. Witter was at one time principal
of our city schools; after finishing his
work here, he married young lady OF
this city, Miss Goodiug, and went to
California to reside, where he has been
eminently successful.

MILL DESTROYED.

The VIM. Brehmer saw mill in the
town of Flieth was destroyed by fire
Thursday evening at about six O'Clock.
At about that hour people around the
mill boarding house, which is several
hundred feet distant, saw smoke issuing
from the windows of the mill. The
small force at hand attempted to fight
the flames but soon saw that their
attempt were fruitless, and directed
their efforts toward saving a stock OF
lumber in the yard The tramways
leading out into the yards were cut and
thus the lumber was saved. There
was no breeze at the time or else re-
suits might have been different. Since
the mill was closed down in the spring,
it had been Mr. Brehmer's custom to
visit the place almost daily and on the
day of the fire he had remained there
up to within three hours of the time
the flames were discovered He also
employed a watchman. There had
been no fire in or about the mill since
it was closed down, so far as known,
and the owner is at a loss to under
stand how the blaze originated.
The mill was built three years ago
by Brehmer q Salzman and for its size
was one of the best equipped plants in
this section 1t was operated only in
the winters and had stock of timber
in sight to keep it in operation for
several years to come. Last spring
Mr. Brehmer purchased of the widow
of the late Louis Salzman her interest
in the property. The loss is between
81, 900 and $15, 900 and it is likely that
the plant will not be rebuilt.

The Wausau Canning Co.'S plant was
closed down from Thursday evening TO
yesterday morning, because of the fact
that the crop of peas sowu early in the
spring had been harvested. Work
was commenced yesterday morning on
the crop sown later. This, ii is ex-
pected will keep the cannery in opera
ton for several weeks longer. Part of
the first crop started to ripen before it
could be cut and was allowed to stand.
These peas have since been cut and
will be threshed out for seed next year.
Heretofore the company has purchased
the bulk of the seed used each spring,
from seed houses.
When Frank Lucowiez and Stanis-
laus krolokowski were arraigned be-
fore Justice Peter Schmidt in Athens,
Wednesday. charged with malicious
destruction of property. At the In
stance of the district attorney the
charge was withdrawn and the defend
ants re-arrested on a charge of felony.
The case was also brought within the
jurisdiction of one of the local courts
and will be tried in Wausau The de-
PENDANTS were arrested charged with
exploding dynamite near the parsonage
of Rev. FIR. Miller in Poniatowski
recently, which destroyed the windows
in the place. The authorities have
since collected enough evidence agai.si
the parties to warrant the statement
that s. good case has been made out
against them.

FELL DOWN SHAFT.
An Old Man Sustained Injuries Which
Were Fatal

The lifeless body of an old man was
found Thursday afternoon at the bot.
| tom of the elevator shaft in the Kick.
| busch Grocery Co.'s warehouse. 1t
proved to be that of Joseph Boubran,
owner of a fruit store on Washington
street, man seventy-two years OF age.
He left home at about 1890 that
forenoon, telling his wife that he was
going to the Kickbusch store to make a
purchase of some peanuts for his stand
He called at the Kickbusch store and
bought a small quantity of nuts and
paid for them. Some of the employees
about the place little later noticed him
wandering about the building, as if
looking over the stock and little atten-
ton was paid him. That was the last
seen of him. Al about one o'clock
Frank Erdman one of the company's s
employees, went into the cellar to get
some goods for the purpose of filling an
order and there found the old man ly-
ing at the bottom of the elevator shaft
dead. The coroner and district at
torney were at once communicated with
and an investigation started. Boubran
was lying on his right side and blood
was oozing out of his right ear. 1t was
found that the skull had been fractured
at its base and death had evidently re-
suited from concussion of the brain.
The officers decided that an inquest
was not necessary as it was quite appar-
ent that the case was one of accident,
and the body was prepared for burial.
Boubran moved here from Eland Jet,
less than three weeks previous to his
death, and purchased fruit store on
Washington street. His old home was
near Marquette, Mich. Besides his
wife he is survived by seven children

NEED OF MORE CARRIERS.

AS yet nothing has been heard at the
local post Office with reference to put
ting on another mail carrier in the city.
At the time Inspector Frazer, of La
Crosse, visited Wausau in June and
made the recommendation, it was
thought the appointment would be
made by July 1st. From the dilatory
practice of the department in Wash
ington it is now thought that the mat
ter may hang fire until Oct. 1st. The
inspector heartily agreed that another
carrier was needed. He drove around
the outskirts of town and found 175 new
houses which are not getting mail SER
vice, at least great many of them be-
ing cut off in the winter season. 1t has
been six years since the force was in
CT eased and since that time the city
las oEtgrown its carrier service and
the volume of mail has been greatly in
creased. There are at present seven
carriers and it is impossible for this
number to cover the town as it should
be covered.
There is a constant and steady
growth of the town and every year
witnesses new additions being opened
and built up and still the department
does not keep abreast of the growth.
There is no denying the fact that there
are whole blocks of houses that ought
to be getting carrier service that do not.

WHITE SCHOOL REUNION.

The second annual reunion of the
students and teachers of the old white
school of Stevens Point will be held in
that city beginning tomorrow and
continuing three days. The attend
ance promises TO be larger than last
year, and it is quite likely that the
meeting will be of more interest to the
members of the association than the
one held year ago, which was one of
organization. These meetings are
designed to bring together old friends
and sohoolmateS who have not seen
one another in years-perhapS not
since they left sehool-a sort of home
coming as it were. A great many of
those who attended the school in an
early day, still reside in Stevens Point,
though it is quite possible a larger
number are scattered all over the
union. Among those who intend TO go
down to the meeting from here are

SAVES DROWNING MAN.
A Former Resident of Wausau Risks
Life in Columbia River.


''But for the bravery of E b. Wright
of 541 East Sixth street | would be
sleeping the long sleep on the bottom
of the Columbia river instead of walk
iEg about here this morning." said pOr-
ter William II. Mccullough of the
steamer Chas. K. Spencer this morning
while busy looking after the welfare OF
the embarking passengers at the Oak
street dock That fellow would risk
his life any time to save a person, and
he came near losing it in saving mine
He is certainly all right"
Mccullough fell overheard while the
Spencer was about to land at White
Salmon Tuesday afternoon on her down
trip. The strong undercurrent took
him down like u rock and purser
Charles X. Spencer, after whom the
boat was named, leaped overheard
with a rope, but failed to find the
drowning porter Everybody thought
the man lost, but suddenly his white
coat was seen under the water on the
opposite side of the boat, and Mr..
Wright, who was one of the passengers,
acted on the impulse of the moment.
Selling a life-buoy, he threw himself
over the rail into the swirling current
and by a stroke of good luck managed
to grasp Mccullough by the coat.
Both sank, but the buoyancy of the life
belt finally overcame the powerful
undertow, and re-appearing on the sur
face they were hauled to the side of the
steamer by means of long boat hook.
Mccullough was able to walk about,
but his rescuer had to be rolled over a
barrel for quite while.-Oregon Jour
nal, Portland, Ore.
The young man who risked his life is
Ed. Wright, brother of l.. X. Wright,
of this city and who lived here up to
the time his father, Rev. VIM. E.
Wright, and family moved away from
Wausau some years ago. Mr.. Wright
is a printer by trade and began his
apprenticeship in the office of the PILOT
and later worked on the Torch of
Liberty. AT the time of the breaking
out of the Spanish-American war he
enlisted in the service and was after

WANT TO BE CITIZENS.

On Wednesday a party of sixteen
aliens appeared before Judge Silver
thorn and were granted citizenship
papers. The rush appears to be about
over. A few stragglers come along
each day, but are told to wait until a
certain day, when bunch of petitions
has been collected, and the applicants
all appear and their petitions heard.
After the new law has taken effect,
aliens cannot go through the mills of
citizenship as freely as they have in the
past, for the new law provides that they
must be able to speak the English
language intelligibly. One of the i'm
portant features of the law is that
declarations of intention to become a
citizen must be filed at least ninety
days before they can be heard, and the
bureau in Washington, ID. c., must be
notified of such intention. The clerk
of the court shall also post in a con-
spicuous place in his office the names
of such petitioners and the names of
their witnesses, for the benefit of the
public.
1t is further provided that no certifi-
cate of naturalization shall be issued
within thirty days previous to an elec-
ton. These provisions are regarded as
tending to prevent the corruption of
I the ballot. The new act establishes for
the first time federal supervision,
through an executive officer of the gov
ernment, of the naturalization of aliens.
When notice Of the filing of a petition
for citizenship papers has been given
the bureau in Washington, the fed
eral government can interpose an OBJ
lection to such petitioner becoming a
citizen, if it desires.
1t is said no law passed at the last
session of congress has attracted more
widespread attention than has this one,
and there is such demand for copies
of the act that the department of com
meree and labor cannot supply 1T.
