RECEIVES A LIFE SENTENCE.
Rudolph FuIweier Confesses That He Is Guilty of the
Murder of Jennie Richie.

Standing facing the bar, making an
effort to keep up his courage. his eyes
somewhat moist and answering ques-
tons in an inaudable tone, Rudolph
Fulweiler this morning received life
sentence for the murder of Miss Jennie
Richie, which crime was committed
Sunday afternoon, June 80. Yesterday
was the time set for the mans hearing.
A large number of people were on hand
to get look at the man, but the officers
executed coup on the crowd which
assembled in the court room, expecting
that the proceedings would take place
there. Instead, Fulweiler was led into
Judge Marchettfs office and there dealt
with. The court proceedings were over
with and the prisoner on his way back
to jail before the crowd was aware of
the fact that he had faced the court.
Upon the court asking Fulweiler a
question regarding his preparedness to
proceed, he answered by saying be was
guilty of the charge. He waived exam
ination and was bound over to the cir
cult court without bail. He appeared
nervous and by his actions expressed a
fear of meeting the witnesses sum-
moned from Stratford and the dead
girls parents. When again locked up
he appeared more at ease.
From the sheriff and district attorney
it was learned that Fulweiler had, the
Sunday afternoon previous, made con-
fession before them and a number of
witnesses. The details of this confes-
sion we deem it better to withhold from
the public out of respect for the morals
of our readers. The story of the MUIR
der has been given the public through
the press of the city and most everyone
is familiar with it. Simply told it is
that the girl was waylaid in the woods.
outraged and then strangled, dying
from hemorrage produced by strang-
uiation. Fulweiler reported finding
the body, two tramps were arrested on
suspicion who proved their innocence,
and later, as Fulweiler's actions looked
suspicious, he was enticed into Wausan
and arrested.

VIM. F. Beneditz and Miss Martha
JaeschkeNwere married Saturday even
ing last at the home of the brides par
ents. Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Jaeschke,
who reside on Humboldt Ave. Miss
Jaeschke for some time past has been
teaching country schools and is popu-
lar young lady. The groom is book
keeper and is employed in one of our
institutions.
Miss Jaeschke has resided in Wausau
for so long that she has formed large
acquaintanceship. She is also greatly
admired and highly respected in the
country districts where she has taught
schcsl, and her many friends wish for
herself and husband long and blissful
life of prosperity.

TOUGH ON THE LADIES.

The long feathers from the tail of the
rooster, the wings from a chicken or
the head of duck or goose appear to
be the only feathered articles that the
ladies in this state can wear. A. e.
Titus, first assistant attorney general,
while engaged in compiling the fish and
game laws for publication has dis
covered that the legislature passed a
statute that no part of the plumage,
skin or body of any bird, other than a
game bird, can be had in possession or
offered for sale. Mr.. Titus is OF the
opinion that this prohibits ladies from
wearing certain feathers on their hats.

After he tried to escape few days
ago he lost heart and finally decided
upon confession He made this freely
of his OWE accord, and even after the
penalty had been explained to him he
insisted upon going before the court.
1t is better for the county that he took
this course. Though strong evidence
had been collected against him. it was
only circumstantial, and there might
have been some difficulty in convicting
him.
Never before was such an atrocious
crime committed in this section, and
we know of only one other committed
in all Northern Wisconsin that for
fiendishness equals it. Had it occurred
in one of the southern states, Fulweiler
would have swung from tree at the
hands of mob ere this.
The mans appearance excites repug
nance. His past life is not entirely an
open one and there is some suspicion
that he may have been guilty of another
crime nearly as bad. About two years
ago brother of Fulweiler attended a
dance in Stratford and next morning
his mutilated body was found lying be-
side the railroad track. 1t was supposed
that he was first killed and then his
body placed on the track and run over
by train. The engineer swore that he
saw no one standing on the track when
he passed there. The cause of the mans
death was never satisfactorily explained.
Fulweiler has served time in Jail for
thievery and also broke Jail. He has
been suspected of many thefts. He has
always been shiftless, worthless fellow
who barely provided for the wants of
his family. His wife has never ap-
peared in the city to console him since
his incarceration, and no one can blame
he,. The crime to which he confessed
st amps him either as degenerate or a
man of the blacklist type of character,
and in either case it is well for the
safety of society that he be placed for
ever where he can commit no more
crimes. The annals of criminOlogy
furnish no worse character than he.

The Dread Of Death,

Granted that 1t is the will Of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, it IS essential
that mankind should feel the dread of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled. The
dread Of death Is to the soul what the
law of gravity is. to the body. 1t an
chors us to- the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep US to
the globe half mankind would be driv-
en- by curiosity, BY the love Of change,
by the dread of ennui, by what Bacon
calls "niceness and safety" to push
open the closed door and see what is
beyond Children and few very hap
py and easily pleased people might
perhaps say they would not explore
farther and that they were perfectly
content with things as they are. st.

SINKING FUNDS.

They Originated In a Scheme Devised
/. by Lord Stanhope.
The general public has no idea of
the meaning Of sinking fund.- The
term had its origin in a scheme de-
vised by Lord stanhope In 1716 where
by certain taxes on the South Sea
8Bubble) and general funds were made
perpetual, and 1t was enacted that the
surplus should be annually invested
and applied to the discharge OF the ma
tional debt. BY means Of it between
the years 1718 and 1873 the sum Of
$52,240,000 Of the debt was actually
discharged. So rich became the sink
Ing fund that 1t excited the cupidity
of parliament, and the grafters laid
violent hands on 1t, diverting It to
other purposes, SO that In the succeed
ing. twenty-five years only $4,000, 900
more had been paid of.
The fund got into a conditi lion so
wretched that it did little in time of
peace and nothing In time OF war to
discharge the national debt. Dr.. Price
persuaded William Pitt to adopt his
plan of investing $5,0O0,O00 every year
at compound interest until with the &C.
cumulations the sum amounted to 500
600, 600, when 1t was to be invested al
simple interests only, leaving the
amount OF interest annually redeemed
at the disposal of parliament. DR.;
Price said: Let state be supposed
to run in debt $4,000, 600 a year, for
which It pays interest at per cent.
In seventy years a debt of .$7cOo 00,-
900 would be Incurred But an appro-
priation of $4,000, 900 q year employed
as a sinking fund at compound inter
est would at the end of this time leave
the nation beforehand $4,000, 0O0."~-

Secretary Announces Final Clos
Ing Of Allotment Of
Bonds.
OFFERS FOR CANAL BONDS
Amount Bid For Thought to Greatly
Exceed Issue = Chicago Banks Con-
trary to Report Not Yet Ready to
Resume Currency Payments.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 29.-Sec-
retary Cortelyou definitely announced
the final closing Of allotments Of the 3
per cent one-year certificates today. He
declared no allotments had been made or
would be made after his announcement
and no further subscriptions would be
considered. Information is still withheld
as to the amount Of allotments to be
made but such information as is OBJ
tainable indicates that the total will not
materially exceed s25.OOO,0OO. Offers for
Panama canal bonds are still reaching
the Treasury in large numbers. They
will remain unopened until tomorrow
when the receipt of subscriptions closes.
The number Of bids closed approximates
the number received for the loan OF
July, 1906, when the offer Of $4,000. 900
Of bonds was subscribed to the amount
Of SAG. 900, or about Is times the
amount offered. Nothing is known yet
as to the amount Of the bids. 1t is hard
ly expected the premium obtained in
1906, which was $lO403, viii be obtained
but the expected offers will be Of good
price. The secretary continues to listen
attentively to representations as to cur
rency legislation but does not commit
himself The project of central bank
of issue seems to have many supporters
among bankers and members Of Congress
arriving here and it is certain several
bills on the subject win be introduced
The report is received here today that
the Chicago banks will resume currency
payments next Monday. In connection
