Oddly in the Mems
Lover, Accepted, Dies of Joy

Webb City, Mo.-Jesse V. Gray. OF
Avilla, 49 years old, proposed last
night at midnight to Rachel Barrow, a
widow 40 years old, and was accepted.
Gray spent the night at the home OF
j. S. Wheat, father of Mrs. Barrow. He
died before morning, and Coroner Baird
says death was caused by heart dis
ease, probably due to joy occasioned by
the acceptance of his proposal.

Two Little Stories.

There is a little story In the memoir
of Sir Charles Bunbury which may
well be remembered among the strange
tales of kings. When Humboldt was
at the Tuileries for the last time In
1S47 and was about to take leave
Louis Philippe said to him: Tell my
good brother the king Of Prussia that
| am very firm here. I am very pop
ular. All France is at my feet. The
kings of Europe may sleep soundly, for
there will be no more revolutions In
little more than two 5lonths Louis
Philippe was fugitive.
Another story in this volume which
has it's touching side concerns Sir
George Napier, the fine soldier. After
the battle of Toulouse group OF Eng
lish officers were petting French dog,
whose owner had taught him to accept
food only when it was offered with the
right hand. But Sir George had to Of
fer a crust with his left hand because
he had no other. The dog looked at
him steadily for moment-and took 1t.

FOUND MAIL SACK.

A train crew of the Northwestern Ry.
yesterday morning found mail sack
on top of car of lumber, in the yards
near Wausau Jet. 1t was turned over
to the chief of police, who in turn gave
it to Asst. Postmaster j c. Huffman.
1t was quite evident that the sack had
been stolen up in some northern lumber
town. The opening of the sack was
drawn together with leather strap
which washed in place by a paddock
This strap had been cut to get at the
contents of the sack and all i, contained
at the time it was found was a few
worthless circulars. These circulars
were addressed to a concern in Whit
lesey, Taylor county. After stealing
the sack the thief must have come this
way on a train, and perhaps did not get
an opportunity to open it before reach
ing this locality, for he certainly would
not carry an empty mail sack any dis
lance. The car on which it was found
was loaded in the lumber yards of John
Manscr in Kelly Saturday afternoon,
and brought to this clty the same day,
which indicates that the theft must have
been committed recently
The sack is one not generally used by
the government and is thought to be a
private one belonging to some firm,
located at distance from post office
MIR. Knhlman at once directed letter
OF inquiry to the postmaster at Whit
tlesley and expects to getan answer in a
day or two, which will give some light
on the theft A gang of post office
thieves have been at work in Central
and Northern Wisconsin of late, but the
theft of this sack is supposed to be the
work of some amateur.

LET CONTRACT.

Kurtz & Rott, Appleton contractors,
were awarded contract yesterday
afternoon TO install a pump and electric
motor on East hill for the proposed adj
ditional water service. Their bid was
81, $50. The contract calls for centrif-
iugal pump capable of pumping l,000,-
600 gallons of water daily to height
of 100 feet, and so horse power self
starting electric motor which will be
free from noise and smell. The water
commission opened the bids Saturday,
but as it had not been ascertained
what rate could be secured from the
Wausau Electric Co. for power, the
matter of awarding contract was de-
ferred until yesterday afternoon, when
another meeting was held.
A meeting will be held in the near
future to decide where the pump will
be located. 1t is thought that this can
be done without engendering the ami
mostly of any of the residents of East
hill The features to which they OBJ
ject-noise and smell-it is assured can
be overcome, and the house where the
pump and motor will be stationed can
be designed so that it will have an
artistic appearance rather than marring
the beauty of it's surroundings. 1t is
desired to get started on the work at an
early date in the summer. Much of
the pipe for the double service extern
sion has been distributed along the
streets where it is planned to be laid

DESERTED FAMILY.

Chas. McFadden was arrested by
Sheriff Frank OConnor near Mosinee
Sunday night upon complaint of his
wife, Mrs. Nellie McFadden. During
the summer of 1905 the family was liy-
ing in Brokaw, where McFadden was
employed in the paper mill. One day
he deserted his wife and son and his
whereabouts up to about three weeks
ago remained unknown. In October
of that year the son, a boy OF about
twelve years of age, and their only
child, was killed. He was selling news
papers on train and in jumping from
the train was struck by another, re-
ceiving fatal injuries. The father, If
he knew of the death, showed lack OF
love for the boy by failing to contrib
ute anything toward funeral expenses
and has not since forwarded any money
to his wife.
Being in very poor circumstances
she went to live with relatives In New
London. The husband returned about
three weeks ago from Alabama and
Saturday his wife came here and filed
the complaint which caused his arrest.
He owns a farm in the southern part
of the county worth about ST 200 Oh
which there is a mortgage of 800. He
effected settlement with his wife and
perhaps saved himself from a states
prison sentence by deciding her the
farm. She has given the sheriff power
to sell the farm.

THREE YEARS EACH.

The two fellows arrested for burglar
izing the Mark Guenther store in
Knowlton on the night of Feb. 2Sth
and who gave their names as John
Smith and Rudolph Barton, appeared
in court yesterday morning and entered
plea of guilty to the charge. They
were each sentenced to term of three
years Imprisonment in the state prison.
Since their arrest nothing further has
been learned of their identity, but j. is
quite certain that they gave fictio.ous
names and place of residence. 1t is
also apparent that they have served
prison sentences at some other time.
They are dressed like laborers aud
look like woodsmen, except that they
have the hang-dog appearance of Grim
iaals. Had they looked up the past
history of the Guenther store, they per-
haps would not have attempted to
burglarize it, for the owner ever since
the third burglary has been on the
lookout for thieves. Messrs. Barton
and Smith are now behind the stone
walls of the state prison.

PLEASED AUDIENCES.

Rev. Fr. Vaughan appeared in the M
f.. church, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings for lectures, given as numbers
OF the lyceum course Of the Mems club
Of that church Ii was his first appear.
ance in Wausau Little was known of
the man except that he was highly
recommended blythe press of the cifies
where he had previously spoken But
when he went away from WauSau he
left conviction in the minds OF our
people that shey had listened to one of
the most scholarly and pleasing orators
that 1t has be,u their privilege 10 hear IN
many day. HIS announced topic for
each evening was upon Shakespeare
tragedies.
Some who attended the first evening
went with doubt in their minds as TO
whether the topic would interest or
please them, but they had not listened
long to the words of the speaker before
these doubts were dispelled. Shakes
peare of all writers in the literary
world is perhaps the most interesting
and hardest to understand. The scope
and volume of his writings and hetero-
geneous and dissimilar characters
handled, astounds one when we consider
the short life of man and the limited
chances of gaining knowledge in hiy
time. He has been set forth in many
lights, and many vagarieS as to his
work have been expressed even to
giving Frances Bacon credit for writing
shakespeare works. But FIR Vaughan
set him forth in new light, at least he
gave some of his writings another phase
of thought Particularly so with the
Merchant of Venice. FIR Vaughan is
of the belief that that story is but a
satilical expression of the bigotry of
religion and shams of the life of the
time when it was written, and his
audience, when he got through con-
Cured insths view. This satire is not
patent on the face of the story, but it is
so ingeniously interviewer as to be
hidden from the average student, and it
is only by studiouS investigation thatthe
intent of the author is uncovered. The
Shylock of Shakespeare's drama had
none of the characteristics of his race.
Likewise all the other characters in the
Merchant of Venice, save one, are
pictured in a way to suggest mockery.
Fr.. Vaughan early in lifetook fancy
for Shakespeare and his works, and has
made a life study of both. In every ex-
preston the fact is manifested that he
has the study well in hand, is deepl
student and broad thinker He has a |
pleasing style of oratory, uses logic and
the best of expression.
1t is safe to say that an effort will be |
made at some time to get FIR. Vaughan
for a return date. Large audiences
were present each evening.
