After suffering for six long weeks,

earthly scenes last Thursday afternoon
at about $3.50 O'Clock and the parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Aug. Dietl, have the sym
pathy of many friends in this their dark
hour of grief
Alexander was taken i'll one day early
in May, while attending school. He
came home and complained of earache.
AT first his parents thought he was snf-
fering from slight cold which would
soon pass away, but as his condition
grew slightly worse anumber of physi.
his right ear was affected and that he
was also suffering from pneumonia Z His
fever in time diminished, which gave
hopes for an early recovery. Pneumon-
ia, however, is deceptive disease and
instead of being on the road to recovery,
the boys lungs became affected aud he
was daily fast approaching the end of
life's journey. Toward the end he failed
rapidly and his physicians advised that
an operation be performed to relieve
the lungs of their congested condition.
The operation was planned for Thurs
day afternoon, but the young mans
vitality was so weakened that he died
under the influence of anaesthetics.

city of Wausau May 81, 1889, and was
therefore little past eighteen years of
age at the time of his death. Although

work at the Y NJ c. A., that he might
devote more time to completing his
studies before graduation this spring.
