YOUNG DAUGHTER OF CHARLES
WENZEL MEETS DEATH.
Fatal Accident Follows When Children
Play with Weapon in West
Allis.

cial. 1.-The 7-year-old daughter of Chas.

the brother, was so shocked by the acct
dent that no statement could be gotten
from him, except that he said that he
did not have the gun.

at the North-W estern Malleable Iron
works. The girl is survived by her pa
rents, two brothers and three sisters.

FIND "MARBLE TO BURN"
Gov. Davidson Saw Enough in One South
ern Quarry to Put UP Loads of
Capitols.

MADISON, Wis, April 1.-[Special.]
Coy. Davidson returned Saturday
night from his southern trip with the
legislative capitol committee. The other
members of the committee are now on
their way to Vermont to inspect granite
quarries there. They will stop over at
New York city. Former Senator Villas
spent Easter with his daughter, Mrs. L.
NJ Hanks, near Williamsburg, Va.
Gov Davidson visited thirteen states
while away. In Georgia the party was
entertained at a dinner by Gov. Terrell,
one of the guests being Hoke Smith, who
becomes governor Of Georgia in June.
The party inspected the marble quarries
at Pate, Ga. Gov. Davidson says there
is apparently marble enough there for all
the public buildings in the United States.
1t is of four colors: Pink, creole, gray
and white with blue streaks, and all
comes from the same quarry.
Gov. Davidson thinks that Hoke Smith
will make a strong governor. He was
elected on the issue of railroad control.
Apparently he looks to Wisconsin as a
model.
Gov Davidson declines to be quoted
on what marble he prefers or on what
he thinks should be used in Wisconsin.

FAVORED SON OF MILWAUKEE,.
Gen. Macarthur Was Born and Brought
Up in This City.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March %
The announcement of Gen. MacAr-
thurs return to Milwaukee is received
with great interest here, for Milwaukee
counts him among one OF her most ia
yored and famous sons.
He was born here, the son of Judge
Arthur Macarthur, his birthplace being
near the conjunction of Van Buren, and
Mason streets, where Gen. Charles King
was born, while a block farther on Wis
first saw the light.
These three boys grew up together,
and together attended the old Milwaukee
academy on Broadway.
Joins the Army.
Young Macarthur entered the army
year after the opening of the Civil war;
being appointed adjutant of the Twenty
fourth Wisconsin infantry, by Gov. Solo
mon. The regiment was largely made
up of Milwaukee men, and Differed by
them. Among the officers were Col
Charles H. Larrabee, Lieut.-Col. e. X.
Butterick, Maj. e. G.. Hibbard and
First Lieut. L. E. Balding.
Macarthur served in this regiment un-
til the close of the war, and when it
was mustered out he was it's lieuteant
colonel. By this time he was wholly de-
voted to the military profession, and en-
tered the regular army as a second lieu
tenant. Shortly after he was promoted
to a captaincy. Before the Spanish
American war broke out, he left the line
and went into the staff department,
where he was made a major.
When the Spanish-American war
opened Macarthur was appointed on the
staff of Gen. Wade. Promotion to the
rank of brigadier general followed, and
he went to the Philippines as brigadier
general of volunteers. For his services
there, he was made major general of
l. IC
when he was created brigadier general Of
the regular army, followed by promotion
to the rank of major general. He was
placed in entire command of the army in
the Philippines, occupying this post for
over two years. Upon his return to
the United States he was put in COM
mand of the department with headquar-
tiers at San Francisco.
Goes to the Far East.
When the Russo-Japanese war opened,
Gen. Macarthur was sent by the United
States government to Japan as its mill
tary representative, to make observa
tons At the cessation of hostilities he
returned to San Francisco.
A second tie which binds Gen. Mac
Arthur and Milwaukee together is that
his son, Douglas Macarthur, received
his appointment to West Point from this
district, Mrs Macarthur and her SOL
coming to Milwaukee to reside for this
purpose. Mrs. Macarthur was the re-
her residence here.
