When Grand Rapids citizen turned
aside the great honor recently offered
him by Gov. Davidson, he furnished
the people of Grand Rapids one of the
most beautiful lessons a loyal citizen
can learn. Honor which comes seldom,
and to few men, was rendered him by
the chief executive of this great COM
monwealth, and yet it was thrust
aside. Not that he was unappreciative
Of the high compliment paid him, nor
yet because he did not desire to aid

petitions for naturalization as required

succeeded periodically and care has to
be taken to secure information as to

GIVEN PRISON FOR LIFE
Rudolph uhIweiler Pays Pen
atty For His Fiendish Crime.

Rudolph Fuhlweiler, it is now the
judgment of this court that you be
punished according to law for the
OtfenSe to which you have pleaded
guilty, and of which the court finds
that you are guilty. as charged in the
information, and that such punish
ment shall consist of your confinement
in the state prison at Waupun at hard
labor therein, during your natural
life, and that the thirtieth day of
June in each year during such term
shall be solitary confinement, and
that your term of sentence begin at
II O'Clock today"
As these words fell from the lips of
Judge Sjlverthorn in the court at
Wausau Tuesday, the sheriff of
Marathon County conducted the
prisoner back to Jail, and for the rest
of his ''Datural life" the murderer of
Jennie Richie, of Stratford, will be
forever removed from society.
The condemned man appeared be-
fore Judge Silverthorn Tuesday
shackled and very much detected. He
scarcely raised his eyes from the floor,
and after the district attorney had
read the charge and he had entered
his plea OF guilty" he dropped into
a chair and sobbed.
s. Judge Silverthorn refused to accept
the plea until an attorney had been
appointed to defend the man. and had
entered an affidavit to the effect that
the confession was made with his own
free will, without duress, and with a
full understanding of the penalty for
his crime.
This ended one of the most startling
and diabOlical criminal cases, in the
history of this section of Wisconsin.
The tiend who is guilty of the crime
has been committed for life, and
society is forever rid of this danger.

IS The OLD MAN INSANE
Officers Think He Has Lost His
Mind Completely.

Fred W. Young who gives his age
as SO years, ana VINO is well known TO
many people in this city. was commit
ted to jail by Justice Reyes Tuesday,
for ten days The immediate charge
brought against the old man is that
of being drunk and disorderly, but the
officers think that his mind is impaired
and that it will be necessary to COM
mitt him TO the Northern Hospital.
Tuesday morning Young went to the
officers and asked them~to arrest four
men, who came to the city Monday,
and with whom he claims he played
cards all night. He stated that these
same men were in the city last year
and were fed by his wife and girls and
that they complained of the food and
in other ways annoyed his family. He
says that one of the men is a "hOrse
thief while the others are bad charac-
tiers. He also states that his wife
and daughters are visiting in Milwau-
kee and will return in few days
The fact is that Young formerly
lived in little house on the Rudolph
road, and about six years ago his wife
died. His daughters are both married
one living in Park Falls and the other
in Appleton. Since they left the old
home, Young has been living alone in
a room in the upper floor of the old
First National bank building.
The story of the men whom he fears
are planning to rob him is simply the
imagination of a diSordered mind.
Whether or not this is due to excessive
drink is not known, but he will be
carefully watched during his incar-
ceratiOn in the county bastile, and if
found insane will be committed to
the insane asylum.

Cured by Cuticura.
MY little son, when about a year
and u half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
Of his body. and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and Il half of suf-
fering he grew SO bad | had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be n mere shele-'
ton and was hardly able to walk. l
sent to the drug store M got q cake
o. C%utlcura Soap and a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all we'll. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
