PROMINENT PRIEST DIES.

Rev Edward Francis Van Hootegem,
pastor of ST. Francis church at Hol-
land, Brown county, and one of the
best known Catholic priests in this part
of the state, died at St. Vincents hos
pital, Green Bay, on Tuesday morning
after an operation for appendicitis per-
formed two weeks ago.
Father Van Hootegem dropped dead
in hall at the hospital while on his
way to visit another patient.
Father Van Hootegem was born in
Belgium fifty years ago and was fellow
student of Bishop Fox at American col
lege of Louvaine, Belgium. He was or
dained at Roermond, Holland, in 1881,
coming in the same year to Green Bay
to join the now Bishop Fox. His first
appointment was at Duck Creek Fa-
ther Van Hootegem was transferred in
1892, to st. Frances church, Merrill,
and in 1899 made a trip around the
world. On his return he was appoint
ed pastor at Holland. The funeral was
held Thursday morning with inter-
ment at Holland.

INSTALLING FIFTY MORE
AUTOMATIC SWITCHES.

The Wausau Telephone Co. has ex-
perienced a wonderful increase in sub
scribers since installing its automatic
system. The automatic started out
with 700 switches, of which $50 were
taken, by Jan. 1st the entire 200 were
taken and quite a number of applica-
tions in for more. All of this in spite
of the raise in rates. 1t became neces-
sary for the company to make an in
crease, so 90 more switches and teIe-
phones were ordered and Geo w. Kim
ball, of the Automatic Electric Co., of
Chicago, has been here the past week
Installing them This work is now
completed and all can now be accom-
modated. Ii is the intention of the
company to get out, in the near future,
directory which will be of a more per-
manent nature than has been gotten
out since the new system was in opera
ton. Those who desire to become sub
scribers should do so as soon as pos
sible, in order to get their names in the
new directory in regular order.
Mr.. Kimball says that the Wausau
exchange is the busiest one he has seen
IN his experience as an installer.

BASEBALL MATTERS.

The directors of the Wausau Baseball
club have not yet decided when they
will present their vaudeville perform
ance for raising funds for the expense
of hiring players. 1t is now certain
that an automobile will be purchased
and disposed of, and it Will probably be
brought to the city at an early date and
placed on exhibition, when the sale of
tickets will commence President
Powers is at present engaged in deter
mining which cities offer the best in
ducements, before giving any franchises
to make up an eight club league
GAINESVILLE is already member and it is
quite likely that Fond du Lac and
Appleton will be taken in. He also has
a proposition from Duluth, MINI, but
unless that city can offer some special
inducements to cover transportation
expenses, it can not be admitted. Man
ager Malvin has retained the best of
last years team and, we learn, has sew
eral more good players under contract.
From the present outlook it appears
that Wausau will have a strong team at
the beginning of the season and that
the people will take renewed interest in
the game. The schedule will not be
announced until some time in April

LITTLE ARM ENlA.

The residents of Little Armenia,
which is in the Humboldt school dis
trict, furnish many amusing incidents
for the people living in that locality.
One house is occupied by several
families of these swarthy people who
have escaped the cutlass of the Turk
and came to this country to make
living selling rugs, etc. They are fol-
lowing the views advocated by Roose-
welt, on the race suicide question, and
each family numbers a great many chill
dren. These children, when not in
school, play in the street as do other
children, ard like other children they
often quarrel-sometime among them
selves, sometimes with other kids"
On these occasions the dark-eyed
mothers always take hand in the fray,
and it is Go uncommon sight to see
three or four women, surrounded by
five times as many children, congre-
gated in the street and all talking in
pitched tones at the same time. Some
times the husbands interfere and come
out of the house.and lead their wives
back into the dwelling as quieting in
fuence on the fracas. About a week
ago on a Sunday one of the Armenian
girls got into quarrel with a neigh
boris boy. Soon there was excitement
in the neighborhood, for the little
girfs mother fastened out of the house
to her daughters aid The girl, en-
boldened by her mothers appearance,
ran after the boy and caught up with
him at the corner of Scott and Sixth
streets and there was fstic battle
royal. The girl was much larger than
the boy, but the boys superior strength
made up the difference in size and he,
triumphed-but for a short time only.
When the irate mother reached the
scene, the boy ran away, and the
woman was escorted back to the house
by her husband.
The inhabitants of that house also
have an improvised refrigerator that
is a novelty and can be seen by
anyone passing along Sixth street.
They use no ice and their perishable
eatables is preserved by the frigidity of
winter air. The roof of the porch
serves as a repository for milk, butter
and other like stuff, and occasionally
the collection is garnished with beer
bottles. Numerous paper sacks, jars
dishes, ETC., give one the impression
that the place is miniature roof
garden with supplies waiting mid
winter picnic party. In the evening
the neighborhood is enlivened with
strains of music, both vocal and instru-
mental, issuing from this dwelling and
waited through the crisp February air
They are, on the whole pretty good
lot of citizens. They spend their money
freely with storekeepers, meet their
obligations promptly and provide well
for their families, both as to clothes
and groceries. The children also are
sent to school regularly and when they
are away at school everything moves
serenely. Recently one of the fathers,
in quelling a disturbance of more than
ordinary loudness and strenuousness,
expressed his disapproval by saying
"D-n-a the kids" and the bystand-
ers coincided in his views.

POPULAR CARTOONS.

The art of newspaper illustration in
its present form is a development of
recent years. Newspaper cartoons
have become a most popular feature of
up-to-date metropolitan daily papers.
The unique and catchy drawing now
appearing daily on the front page of
THE CHICAGO RECORD HERALD is one
of the many special features of the
great paper. THE RECORD HERALD
has been fortunate in securing one of
the best young artists in the country to
carry out its popular policy of present
ing each day a humorous and good
natured cartoon. Mr.. Ralph Wilder is
one of the coming men in newspaper
work. His success has been as pro-
nOunced as it has been rapid He
shows all of the good-natured humor
and the brighter side of everyday COM
mon life which has carried his work to
a very popular success. His drawings
are on all of the various subjects of
popular interest, political and other
wise. Current events are wildly por-
trayed in a way that pleases, yet often
giving just criticism IN way that does
not offend. Through his excellent work
on eastern magazines Mr.. Wilder first
attracted universal attention. THE
RECORD-HERAL recognized in him at
once a cartoonist of unusual promise,
and congratulates its readers on having
been fortunate enough to engage
him.

MADE TWO FORTUNES.

Capt. Chas. Wood, of the town of
Brighton, was in the city Friday, hav-
ing come here for the purpose of offer
ing testimony in case against his son,
Charles, Jr., whom he charged with
having assaulted him. Captain Wood
was interested in proceedings before
the county court Jan. 4-5, when his
children sought to have guardian ap-
pointed to take care of his affairs, they
claiming that he was dissipating his
fortune by drink and in making foolish
investments in wild cat' mining
properties and alleged fast horses
The judge at that time decided that
Mr.. Wood was fully capable of hand
ling his OVID affairs and refused to
grant the children's petition.
In conversation with number of
people living in that vicinity who were
here as witnesses Friday, we learned
that all the trouble is not of the old
mans making. The son, Charles, it is
said has "thumped" his father on two
occasions recently, once before the
action was brought in county court and
once since. According to the testi-
mony of witnesses the old gentleman
has been none the worse for liquor dur
ing the past several years, except on
very few occasions, so that there is an
apparent motive in the action of the
children.
Capt Wood is 70 years of age,
straight as an arrow, with hair par
italy though not wholly tinged with
grey, in apparent possession Of all his
faculties and is we'll read and well
posted man. He has the distinction of
having made two fortunes in his life
time, something rarely accomplished,
and remarkable when it is considered
that less than 900 out of every 1O,O0O
men who die leave as much as S5, 900.
He started out poor boy and became
immensely rich at Watertown, Wis,
by his own labors, but at the age of
fifty seven years found himself bank
rupt, through placing too much conf
dence in his friends He then moved
to the town of Brighton, this county,
and purchased farm for 5000. After
building a house and purchasing
necessaries he had $50 left. Commenc-
ing life over again at that age it seems
remarkable that he should have again
built up small fortune, which his chill
'dren now say he has not the right to
use as he sees fit.
He gained his title of captain through
his efforts to preserve the union during
the civil war. He raised company of
soldiers of his own accord, of which he
was commissioned captain, and wenG
to Vicksburg, Miss, to assist in the
siege of that city.
Mr.. Wood, his wife and an unmar-
ried daughter occupy the family resi-
dence in the town of Brighton and his
farm, which now amounts to 200 acres,
is worth over $4,000. He has no in
cumbrences and has money in the
bank
