Department of Commerce and
Labor in Washington Seeks
Former kenosha Man
DAUGHTERS DEVOTION LASTS
Miss Mary Malberti of New York Fin
ally Interests the Government
in Search for Father Who
is Thought to be Here

making strenuous efforts to find some
trace of John Malberti, a man forty
years of age who is supposed either to
be in kenosha or to have worked in
this city within the last two years.
Malberti is not high up in the social
scale and in fact 1t is admitted that
he is nothing but common laborer,
tie woman in New York City all of
the machinery of the United States
government has been called into
action to aid in locating the former
Kenosha man. The matter is now in
the hands Of the Department of Com
merce and Labor of5the government
and officials have been asked to give
their attention to the matter Of hunt
ing Malberti and see that no stone is
left unturned to find him.
The little woman who is back of the
search is Miss Mary Malberti, a TWEEN
ty-year-o1d girl, who is living in New
York, and who has managed to so i'm
press the officials of the Department
have taken up the search for the
missing man. Miss Malberti is now
an accom- plished woman and there is
some doubt if her father would recog-
nize her should he meet her. She
tells an unusual story. It seems that
many years ago father and daughter
came as aliens to this country and
lived in New York The little girl
and her father seemed to be INSOFAR
able and they lived together in the
metropolis of the country until Mary
reached the age of eleven years.
Then the father heard that he could
make more money in the west and as
his dearest ambition in life was to
educate the daughter he started west
and left the daughter with friends in
New York.
Little Mary wrote her father long
letters and for a time she received
letters from him assuring her that he
was doing we'll and sending her
money to live on. However, many
years ago these letters ceased and the
father dropped ont Of the life Of the
daughter. The little girl worried for
time over the matter and then start
ed out to search for the missing man.
She had societies in all parts of the
country seeking Malberti, but nothing
was found of him until a few DAYS
ago when she received letters show
ing her that Malberti had come to Ke-
nosha to work in tannery two years
ago. It was at this time that the
young woman went to Washington
and laid the matter before the gov
eminent officials. The matter was
referred to the Kenosha post office.
An examination Of the books Of the
Allen tannery fails tc reveal the name
Of Malberti as one of the employees Of
the company. but it is very possible
that the man may be working there
under another name. The city
directories for the past three years do
not contain the name, but it is
thought possible that on coming to
Kenosha Malberti assumed some other
name by which his nativity was hid
zen and that he may be in Kenosha.
The little woman in New York seems
to be assured that her father will be
fond in Kenosha and that there will
be reunion of the family at no dis
tant date.

MAY NOT REBUILD.

The Insurance companies concerned
have adjusted the fire loss sustained by
the Eau Claire Box and Lumber Co. to
the satisfaction of Messrs. Turner and
Scholfeld, of this city, and c. NJ Lam
ming, of Eau Claire, who were the pro-
prietors. The factory and contents
were entirely destroyed, it will be re-
membered, on the morning of Feb 18th
The factory, it is thought, now will not
be rebuilt. When it was put up there
was no box factory at Eau Claire; since,
there have been two established and The
labor problem is not pleasant to antici-
pate. For this and other reasons the
factory will not be rebuilt; not now, at
least. The 6,000, 900 feet of lumber in
pile will be sold and much of it shipped
to Wausau to be used by the Wausau
Box and Lumber company

REVOKED LICENSE.

A special meeting of the city council
was held Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of giving Mrs. Sarah Mess hear
ing to show cause why her saloon
license should not be revoked. She APP
peared without counsel and made the
plea that she had pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling liquor to minors
because she thought it was the easiest
and cheapest way to settle the matter,
not because she was guilty of the
offense. She also stated that M B.
Rosenberg, city attorney, told her that
if she pleaded guilty and paid her fine,
she would not be further molested.
This Mr.. Rosenberg denied and his
denial was borne out by the testimony
of Atty. Fred Genrich and Fred Brandt,
the latter an officer of the local LIQUOR
dealers association. 1t was proven
that Mr.. Rosenberg warned her that
in case she pleaded or was found guilty,
he would ask that her license be re-
voked
Two boys, Jay Madden and Arthur
Birkholtz, both nineteen years of age,
testified that they had been served with
liquor in the Mess saloon on the after
noon of Jan. 2, until they were in an
intoxicated condition.
The council then, at the conclusion of
the testimony, unanimously passed a
resolution, the latter part of which
reads as follows:
ResolUed, That the common council of
the city of Wausau hereby finds the
said Sarah Mess, person duly licensed
for the selling of Intoxicating liquors,
to be guilty of having sold Intoxicating
liquor to Jay Madden at said city, on
the I'd day of January, A. ID. 1907, and
that the complaint is true. Wherefore,
be it
ResOIued, That the license of said
Sarah Mess be and the same is hereby
| revoked in accordance with the pro-
vision of the statute in such cases made
and provided, and the city clerk be and
he is hereby directed to serve notice of
such revocation, together with a copy
| of this resolution upon the said Sarah
| Mess Immediately.
The next case will be that of Ernst
Pagel, though he has delayed action by
taking an appeal from the recent court
/ decision

KILLED HIMSELF.

Word reached the city during the
week that Leroy Turner, farmer resid-
ing in the town of Eldron committed
suicide by shooting himself with Win
chester rifle, early in the week. He had
been afflicted with a cancer for some
time and brooding over this misfortune
is supposed to have upset his mind On
the morning that he killed himself, he
requested his wife to do the chores as
he was not feeling we'll While she was
in the barn feeding the stock he went
into the woodshed and took down the
rifle from the wall and blew off the top
of his head. Turner was seventy seven
years of age, veteran of the civil war
and man who enjoyed the highest res
pect of everyone who knew him Be-

victorious.
We ware pleased with the marches
played last week by Della Holub and
Lawrence Bernhardt.
The new rule. that there is to be no
talking or disorder in the halls, which
was put in force last week, is working
out splendidly and we are very much
pleased with the improvement.
Basket ball, which we enjoy very
much, has been discontinued until we
can play outside.
Since the last fall of rain and the re-
cent cold weather, coasting has become
the chief sport of the Lincoln children.
A load of sorted lumber to be used
for manual training, was delivered at
this building from Curtis & Yale last

to some good use.

CAUGHT BURGLARS.

| On Wednesday of last week two
strangers landed in Knowlton whose
actions aroused the suspicious of the
villagers. Marx Guenther, who con-
ducts general store in the village, and
who had previously been robbed on
three different occasions, kept his eyes
on the strangers and was of the opinion
that their presence in the village BODIED
no good. In this surmise he was right.
At about midnight he visited the store
and ascertained that robbers were at
work inside He hastily summoned a
number of neighbors and they sur
rounded the store, armed with rifles,
| shot guns, etc. A call was made upon
the burglars to come out and surrender;
they chose not to do so. At about one
o'clock in the morning Sheriff OCon-
nor Was notified by telephone and was
not long in hitching up his team and
getting started. He covered the dis
lance in two hours
In the meantime the burglars con-
Guided to come out of the store and sur
render, after they had kept the villagers
at bay for over an hour. They were
held " til the arrival of the sheriff who
handcl.ffed them and brought them to
Wausau. They gave their names as
Rudolph Barton and John Smith. An
investigation showed that they had car
ried from the store to the warehouse a
large number of pocket knives, several
watches, pocket books, mackinaw jack
cts, mittens, rubbers, socks and other
footwear. The burglars when searched
were found to have 81 cents between
them, number of revolver cartridges
and other small articles In their shoes
was found 81 in cash. The men have
every appearance of being profession
ais. The sheriff has since received word
that number of places were recently
broken open in Spencer and watches,
cash, etc, taken. The next day after
the robbery a thorough search of the
| Guenther warehouse was made, result
ing in the finding of more watches, etc.
Last week boy in Stevens Point found
a package of 5000 worth of postage
stamps hidden under lumber pile and
it is thought these two men put them
| there
| When their measurements were taken
by the Bertillion system they indicated
that they were familiar with the pro-
cedure, leading one to believe that they
have prison records.
Shortly after their arrest they man
Tested desire to plead guilty. They
signed the petition to do so and were to
have appeared in court yesterday, but
the district attorney being i'll the mat
ter was deferred 1t is not thought
that these two men are the ones who
have been Systematically burglarizing
the Guenther and other stores in that
locality. So much property was taken
on other occasions as to give rise to the
belief that the goods were carried off
by teams, and goods were taken of
class which these men would not touch,
such as feed, oats, ETC.

ELEVEN YEARS.

Yesterday was the eleventh anniver-
sary OF the opening of the Hudson store
in this city. Through the untiring
efforts of F. L. Hudson, it has grown to
be the largest exclusive dry goods insti-
tuition in Northern Wisconin, and has a
patronage that certainly must be very
gratifying to its owner. There is only
one way by which such an enterprise
could have been made to flourish and
that is by carrying line of goods that
warranted it and by making prices uni
form and moderate. Mr. Hudson has
the reputation of having done this
throughout his business career in Wau-
sau, and all who knew it was the
eleventh anniversary of his advent in
Wausau, were congratulating him yes
terday.

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.

There will be a regular meeting Of
the city council this evening. just
what business will come before the
meeting we are unable to say, for up to
noon no papers of any Importance had
been presented to the clerk. One thing
has been decided upon, which is thattLe
board of public works and the special
paving committee will make a report
tonight on their choice of material for
paving S. Third street Messrs. Chas
NGtter and Herman Marquardt re-
turned home Sunday morning from a
trip OF investigation, during which time
they visited nine different cities in In
diana, Illinois and Minnesota and saw
many streets in good and bad condi-
ton, paved with several kinds of mater
ial. Each street paved with creosote
blocks they found in excellent condition
and giving the best of satisfaction.
They brought home two samples of
chips taken from pavement in Mime
apolis over which there is heavy traffic.
A piece was Clipped off block in the
centre of the street, another from
block near the curbstone The pave
ment had been laid six years and in
that time the blocks in the centre of the
street had worD down less than quar-
ter of an inch and the wood was as
sound as the day it was laid. These
two gentlemen are in favor of the block
pavement. A meeting of the commit
tee and board of public works was held
last night ard the matter thoroughly
discussed. When interviewed today
none of the committee would commit
themselves, but inasmuch as the matter
of making report has been left to the
board of public works, composed of the
mayor. comptroller and city engineer,
and that at least two members of that
board, as well as majority of the
property holders interested, are in favor
of the creosate block pavement, it
seems reasonable to suppose that the
report will favor that kind of pavement.

ANOTHER OLD SETTLER GONE.

Daniel Markstrum, one of Wausau's
Oldest Swedish settlers, died at his home
on the west side, Saturday night, at IL
o'clock March I'd, 1907, of general
debility.
Mr. Markstrum was 81 years old at
the time of his death and came to Wau-
sau in the spring of 1875, since which
time he had resided here. He was,
by trcde, a mason and followed this
calling here for years. He was born
in the city of Pitea, in Northern
Sweden, in 1926, but came to the city of
Stockholm when mere boy of IA,
where he learned the art of engraving
which, at that time, was both lucrative
and in great demand, but later improve
ments in stamping and pressing the
ornamentation of all gold and silver
ware, made hand work in this line
almost obsolete. Mr. Markstrum then
picked up the mason's trade and had
followed the same ever since.
AS a citizen, neighbor and friend,
Mr.. Markstrum was highly respected
and esteemed by all who had the honor
of his acquaintance and his ever cheer
full disposition, and words of encour-
agement to all who seemed to feel they
were losing their grip on life, will be
sadly missed.
He leaves two sons, Gustaf Hugo and
Knute Sellfred, of Bessemer, Mich, and
one daughter, Mrs. b. A. Benson, of
this city; also a grand daughter, Mrs
j. j. Okoneski, of Wausau. His de-
voted wife, Anna Markstrum, died on
the 22d of March, 1906. They were
united in marriage in Stockholm, Swe-
den, in lS47, and they lived happily
together for SO years. To them were
born ten children.
The funeral services were held from
the old home on the west side at 200
O'Clock this Tuesday afternoon, the
Rev. s. N Wilson, of the First Presby-
terrain church, conducting the services,
and the remains were now rest in peace
in Fine Grove cemetery by the side of
those of his departed wife-to part no
more.
