The doctor and his wife had lived to-
gether four years. She was widow
when he met her. He was physician

Ply one and no clubbing had entered
the home to set bad example for
their hopeful. But the wife had a
reputation as wit. Her witticisims
and little sarcastic remarks were
known far and wide. Her friends had
all heard OF them. They had all felt
the sting of them. The physician had

LARGE ENROLLM ENT.

The teachers institute which opened
yesterday in the county agricultural
school building, had an enrolment of
154 This is the largest institute ever
conducted in the county and it is doubt
fnl whether any other county this year
will equal it Of this number nine are
men and the balance ladies, showing
conclusiyely that the profession of
teaching offers no allurements to tie
male population of this county The
cause can easily be explained Young
men can command larger salaries in
other channels. Teachers in this county
as in all other counties, are underpaid
This is due TO a parsimonious policy
followed by school boards and does not
help to raise the standard of teaching
OF the 154 who enrolled on the Opening
day about fifty are inexperienced The
balance have had one or more years
experience in teaching The county
superintendent and the instructors are
well pleased with the enrolment and
the work already shows that the insti-
tnte will be great success

Mrs. j.. 2. Foss, died at her parents
home Saturday afternoon. Deceased
was born in the city of Oconomowoc
March 10, 1874, and was therefore a
little past thirty-three years OF age at
the time of her demise Oconomowoc

about four months ago, when because
of failing health she gave up her posi-
ton in that city and came here to live
with her parents. Last fall she had an
operation performed for the removal of
a humorous growth and after that her
health continued to fail. Though her
residence here was short, she in that
time made many warm friends, who
sincerely mourn her demise The re-
mains were taken to her old home Sat
urday evening for interment, brief SER
vices being held at the home, conducted
by Rev. f. IL. Brigham.

OLD SOLDIERS DAY.
One Day of the County Fair will Be
Reserved for Their Entertainment.

Some time ago the officers of the
Marathon County Agricultural associa-

tickets for one day If the fair and the
day to be devoted to their entertain

Post at special meeting held Saturday
evening and was accepted. The plan
is to have all old soldiers. regardless of
whether they belong to the Post or not
to meet on that day and go to the fair
grounds The society will furnish eat
ables- perhaps roast OK will be pro-
yided-and it will be in the nature of a
camp fire meeting. 1t is likely that
some speaker or speakers will be
present To address the old boys in blue.
The society proposes to prepare fitting
program for the occasion and do every
thing IN lis power to make the day a
pleasant one TO ever after be remem-
bered by the old vets.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Officers Believe They Have the Slayer Of Jennie Richie
in Custody.

Rudolph Fuhlweiler, who lives near
Stratford was locked up in the county
Jail yesterday, charged with the murder
of Miss Jennie Richie, the young lady
who was brutaily assaulted and slain
near the above village on June 80.
The officers have been of the opinion
all along that the work was that of one
man instead of two. The two tramps
| arrested at the time have been held in
Jail for several purposes. The officers
wanted to verify statements they made
regarding their whereabouts at the
time the crime was committed and it
was possible that they might be the
right parties.
.. In the meantime the detective firm of
Riemer q Wilson of Milwaukee was
brought into the case, and Mr. Riemer
himself came here to personally look
up evidence. Since his arrival he has
spent his time IN the vicinity of where
the murder was committed and we
learn has picked up, bit by bit, evidence
of the most damaging character
: against Fnhlweiler, although what he
has learned is for the present withheld
from the public. The officers have
looked into his record and find that it
is anything but creditable, and his
stories and those of his wife do not
agree in many particulars where they
should agree.
Fuhlweiler, it will be remembered, was
the man who found the body and re.
ported the murder to farmers. The
officers We're suspicious of him at the
time he gave the excuse for being in the
vicinity of the murder that day, He

CLEVER TRICK OF THIEVES.
Use Offensive Odor of Onions to Aid
in Shoplifting.

Incredible as it may SEEM" said
Lecoq, the detective, there are num-
Der of shoplifters who steal by the
agency of the onion. These aband-
oned men. before setting out upon
their contemplated crimes, eat of raw
onions abundantly. Then they stroll
into the silversmith's or the haber-
dasher's or the jewelers. that they pro-
pose to rob Show me those large
solitaires surrounded with Rigeon-blood
rubies, please says the jeweler thief.
The clerk brings forth the tray OF
gems and, bending over it, the thief
signs with admiration. His face close
to the clerks, he signs again. And the
clerks nostrils culver and he turns
away his head. The inspection of dia-
monds continues for some minutes.
Throughout 1t the thief keeps breath
ing hard, the clerk keeps turning his
head away and hence it is no wonder

Gil grant the authority asked by the
board of water commissioners, SO that
the work can proceed at the earliest
practicable time. Don't give the insti-
tuition a well. Wells furnish water but

furnish coplous supply of disease

have criticized the same and seem to
feel that the essprS.sa is too great for
the city to undertake at this time.
They suggest that. the sisters might,
with $500, have a large well and reser-
voir constructed which would furnish
them with an ample supply of water
for all needs, and that in this respect
it would be cheaper for the city to make
them donation for such purpose.
So much for those aldermen.
The PILOT takes a different view of
the matter and we have not been asked
to state the views here given by the
sisters or anyone connected with the
hospital
Flans for the hospital have been
drawn, the contract has been let and
the water question is the one force
which will retard its construction.
The building will be beautiful one

have deduced that the crime was com
mitted by one man who had planned it
in advance. 1t is hardly probable that
tramps wonld be carrying around
clothes lines in their pockets to bind the
hands of women, and then turn up in a
village close by the scene of the murder
and quietly submit to arrest. 1t looked
more as if the guilty party knew the
girl, saw her go to church that morning
and laid inlwait for her, knowing she
would return by the same ronte. Who
ever he is he has heart blacker than
that of any ghoul that was ever born,
aud there is no punishment severe
enough to fit the crime.
FIhlweiler lives next door neighbor
to the Riches and was acquainted with
the girl. He is married man and has
three children.

At the last meeting of the city conn
Gil the board of water commissioners
filed report of its findings in the mat
ter of the request of the Sisters OF the
Divine Savior for extension of water
mains to that part of the city where
they are building the new st. Mary's
hospital. The commission states that
it finds that it is impossible to secure
the necessary pipes so that the same
can be laid this summer, and that tie
estimated cost of the same is s., 1855 90;
that the commission, under the provis-
ions of the city charter, has no author
ity to order the material without sane
ton of the council That the petition
ought to be granted and that the com
mission ought to be given authority to
purchase the material and recommends
that the work shall begin in the spring
of 1898 So much for the commission.

submitted several of the councilmen
