gets INSURANCE
NJ $4,000 POLICY IN KNIGHTS or
THE MAccABEEs.
Emptiness Of the Payment Speaks
NJ FOR That Splendid Order Nc.
Katz Was Largely Responsible
|for Adjustment Of the Claim.

4 The readers OF the Daily News will
remember the death Of Mr.. Jake See
ger som time since who was so badly
injured in an accident in the lath
mill at the Newman Lumber Com
pany's plant that he died before he
could be removed from the scene of
the fatal happening.
Through the kind services Of Mr..
II, Eatz, the amount Of insurance due
the family from the Knights Of the
Marcabees of the World, $4,000 has
been collected and the amount paid
over to the widow.
Besides being an Odd Fellow, Mr..
Seeger belonged to the order named
and carried the amount of insurance
mentioned above.
Mr.. Katz as one Of the committee
appointed by the odd Fellows to look
after the interests OF widows and or
phans Of members of that order, took
up the matter of insurance with the
proper officials OF the Maccabees, in
Nina, Pa, and within three weeks the
matter was settled and the amount
paid over to Mrs. Seeger
"The promptness with which set
Element Of the claim was made" said
Mr.. Katz to Daily News reporter,
''speaks eloquently of the system
maintained by the Knights of the Mac
cabees and was most gratifying to
the widow and to us. For her and
ourselves we wish to make a proper
and suitable public acknowledgment
of the payment of the insurance
claim"
Mrs, Seeger is still residing in her
comfortable home in the city and will
probably remain here altogether.

", as may be the result when chill
dren Of tender years are put to work
in some great factory. The state is
interested in these children, for they
are to be the future men and women

NEARLY GOT A BATH.

Tony Fehl, of this city, succeeded in
getting his name printed in the Mil
waukee papers one day last week by
the fact that he had an exciting exper-
fence. He has been in that city for
several months working in the capacity
of chauffeur. One dark night last
week, in company with young lady.
also from this city, he was taking a
spin out to Whitefish Bay when he had
a serious mix-up. Ahead of him was
rig occupied by a man and three girls.
Tony did not see the rig until it was
too late to steer clear of it and he
bamped into the rear end of the vehicle,
tearing off one wheel andnscattering
the occupants. In desperate effort to
pass the rig when he saw it, he steered
his automobile into the ditch and the
ditch and fence saved him from TAX
ing plunge down 800 ft. embank-
ment into lake Michigan. The young
lady with bin was thrown out and her
hat pins driven into her scalp. One of
the girls in the rig was also slightly in
iured. The scene of the accident is
said to be near the place where the two
men were recently killed in an automo-
bile smash-up.

WOULDN'T ACCEPT MONEY.

On petition of Kurt Beyreis, res
ident of the town of Holton, writ of
mandamus was issued Friday compell-
ing Nelson Empey, school treasurer of
District No. of that town, to perform
certain duties connected with his office.
A year ago the tax payers of the district
decided that they wanted a new school
house. but as there was not enough
funds in the treasury to build the same,
they by vote decided to make a loan
from the trust funds of the state. On
July 2, 1906, application was made for a
loan of 81 500 and in due time the school
officers were notified that the money
was ready. A contract was let and the
school house completed, but when the
contractor asked for his money the
treasurer refused to sign the voucher
which would secure the money from
the state and has ever since refused to
place his John Hancock on the voucher.
The town is compelled to pay interest
on the money without having the use
of it and was in danger of being sued
by the contractor. The writ of man.
damus issued compels Empey to sign
the voucher.

DAM COMPLETED.

The great dam on Grandfather rapids
is about completed, after two years of
hard and tedious work. The water
wheels will soon be set in their pits and
before many weeks have passed electri-
cal energy will be supplied from this
source to manufacturing institutions of
Merrill. Work on the dam was begun
two years ago and with the exception
of a short interval this spring, when the
Golfer dam was carried away, the work
has been kept up without cessation.
The News of Merrill says the dam is
higher than any building in that city,
except the court house. II Is built of
stone and cement entirely and it is
thought will endure. for generations.
The structure is capable of producing
immense power, for it is situated on the
best dam site on the Wisconsin river
As an instance of the velocity of the
water we might mention the fact that
this spring when the contractor, John
O'Day, was repairing the Golfer dam,
large trees several feet in diameter were
cut and lowered into gap in the dam
as support timbers, and the force of the
water snapped them in two as if they
were pipe stems. The pole line to Mer-
rill, which will carry the energy, was
built last fal! and as the machinery is
on the ground it will be but a little
while before the whole work will be
completed.

CONTINUOUS ELOPEMENT.
Fickle of Fancy, But Fertile
Of Resource.

That the course of love does not ale
ways run smoothly was amusingly IL
lustrated in the experience of one
Koraleff. a Russian land owner, who
took his bride to Berlin upon honey
moon trip.
The second day of their stay Nine.
Koraleff possessed herself of some $15,-
600, all of the money her husband had
with him, and eloped to Switzerland
with her husbands valet.
In due course the deserted husband
obtained fresh funds and set forth in
search of the guilty pair. After some
delay Nine. Koraleff was located in
Zurich, where she had been left desti-
tute by the partner of her fight, whose
fancy had been attracted by woman
more to his liking than the wife Of his
late master,
There was a reconciliation, and tho
reunited pair again set forth In search
OF the valht, whom they found at Laus-
anne, again IN a state Of single blessed
ness. his latest partner having taken
herself off with a newer ideal, though
she broke the chain by leaving what
was left of the money with the valet
The penitent valet was reinstated in
favor upon returning what was left OF
the money, and the three journeyed
back TO Russia.

CITY COUNCIL.

The adjourned meeting of the city
council held Tuesday evening was at
tended by eleven members.
F. E. Martin was granted license
to conduct plumbing shop. At pre-
vious meeting his application was held
over, pending an Investigation, some
members being of the opinion that he
did not intend to remain here long.
A license was granted to Paul Kick
busch allowing him the privilege of
conducting saloon at Wausau Jet.
1t was decided to accept the prices
made upon certain lands required for
the extension of Porter street. Otto
Kickhoefer and VIM. F. Luedtke own
the lands. The former asks $500 and
the latter $500. The money will be
paid over to them when deeds rae
executed.
Aldermen Rapraeger. Curtis and
Steltz were appointed COMMITTEES to
ascertain the conditions asked for es-
tablishing beet sugar refinery in
biic III u du-
dressed the council, j. H. Holman of
Rochester, Mimi, stated that he held
options on two refineries If he can find
suitable location, where power can be
obtained at minimum cost, he will
locate one of the retineries at such
point. He is of the opinion that Wan
sau would be good location.
Permission was granted Joe Throm
to erect hay scales near his place of
business on Sixth street. Property
owners living near by had demonstrated
against allowing him such privilege.
For the purpose of extending and
widening Canal street so as to give
funeral professions another route to
the cemetery, prices as set on lands by
the following owners were accepted /:
M. Philip, $500; M A. McNeilI; Hen
rietta Rossman, S22O; Anton Schuetz,
$500; Geo. Belanger. 5000; Fred Brand.
$40. Total, $1,710. The street may
not be extended until next season.
Residents living along Garfield Ave.
presented a remonstrance against
granting the petition of the Wausau
Street Railroad company, asking for
the right to extend its track down that
street to the fair grounds. The remon-
Strance says the street is too narrow for
:. car line, is crossed by the C. & N. w.
Ry. Co.'S tracks aud the operation of
street cars upon it at times when there
are base ball games and county fairs
would be dangerous to the public. The
remonstrance cites that Stewart Ave.
offers better route to the fair grounds.
Other people think the steep hill on
that street makes that route impractical.
