Thursday evening word was given
out that Fred W. Kickbusch had passed
away at his home on Grand Ave, at
about the hour of $50. The end came
peacefully and was not unexpected.
For great many years Mr.. Kickbusch
had been sufferer from liver COM
plant and had been practically an in
valid for some time. He made regular
trips TO Carlsbad Aus, and to health
resorts in this country and while some
relief was afforded him, it was only
temporary. He was gradually declin.
ing. Nearly three years ago he was
forced to give up mis- business and turn
it over 10 younger hands. Since that
time he had been living in quiet and
spending part of the time abroad This
last spring he spent several weeks at a
health resort in the South and during
the summer remained in Wausau He
was able to be up town nearly every
day and visit with his friends, but a
month or so ago his condition became
much worse. 1t was necessary to send
for his daughters who were up on the
northern lakes and it was plainly evi-
dent that the end was not far off.
Through all his sickness Mr.. Kickbusch
suffered uncomplainingly and his forti.
tude was remarkable.
Fred Kickbuseh was born Jan. 25,
1871, in the province of Pomerania,
Ger. Al the age of sixteen he emf,
grated to America and settled in Mil.
waukee, where he resided for three
years. He then came TO Wausau and
this city had been his home ever since,
with the exception of a few years spent
in his native country in the consular
service. His first occupation after
coming here was farming, which he
followed for short time and then with
his brother, August, became associated
in the mercantile business, the partner.
ship continuing for period of ten
years. Pine timber was plentiful in
this section at that time and MIR. Kick
busch next turned his attention tu
numbering operations. He was one OF
the first to establish manufacturing
business in this city, aside from the
saw mill business In 1872, in company
with Geo. Werheim, ne built and put in
operation the first sash, door and blind
factory in this part of Wisconsin. The
factory was built at the east end of the
guard lock on the present site of the
G. IL. Wegner store and the grist mill
back of it. In 1879 the partnership
was dissolved and Mr.. kickbusch con-
timed to conduct the business alone.
On Dec %, the following year, the
factory was consumed by fire, catching
the owner without n cent of insurance
and the loss of the factory was hard
financial blow to Mr.. kiekbusch. lie
decided not to enter the sash and door
field again and upon the ruins of the
factory he built what has been known
for years as the Kickbusch mill. In
connection with the mill he also con-

FOR FUTURE DECORATION.

The Wausau Electric Co. will soon
order 5000 or more incandescent lights
to be used for street decorative effect.
1t is quite certain that the movement
inaugurated by the fair association two
weeks ago will be followed each year
hereafter. For that reason the above
concern desires to be prepared. Dur
ing slack times in the winter or when
there is stormy weather the employees
of the company will be put to work
stringing the connections on wires.
For the fair about 1900 lights were
ordered. The association wanted
5000 but was only able TO get
1900. Just before the fair the
company owning the lights wired
the Wausau Electric Co. that q
homecoming was in progress in the
southern part of the state and it was
desired that some of the lights be re-
turned. to be used for that feature, and
they would be shipped back in time for
the fair. Two barrelsful were shipped,
but when the time drew near for the
fair and it was too late TO put them up
an order was sent the owners not to
ship them here. Consequently we were
cut off from some illuminations. Had
they arrived in time other corners on
Third street would have been illumi.
mated. The lights ordered by the Wau-
sau Electric Co., can be used at any
time for conventions, picnics, etc. 1t
is quite probable that an effort will be
made soon to have the county board
public property committee cause
permanent archways to be placed over
windows and doors in the court house
all wired and connected, so that in
cand escent lamps can be screwed into
them at any time on public occasions,
1t is quite certain that the illuminations
of two weeks ago, which were beauti-
full, were but small beginning of what
is to follow in the years to come.

PR0CRASTINATI0N AND POOR
JUDGEMENT

are more often responsible for the
misery of the person in ill-heath than
anything else. That ''stitch in time
saves nine" we all know to be true, but
the average person in need of good
medical treatment cheerfnlly jeop-
ardizes the future, and readily waits
until some more convenient time to
consult a physician, or worse still, ac-
cepts the misleading statements,
together with the cure-all, advertised
for the relief of any and all ailments.
The result is that what in the begin
ing is trouble easily overcome by the
right treatment, eventually becomes
stubborn case of some disease, which,
in the chronic stage, weakens and
deblitates the whole system, destroy
ing the forces of the body gradually,
until life is burden to the sufferer,
his working capacity is less, and the
possibility of permanent relief is re-
mote.
Therefore, the person afflicted with
any ailment, no matter how slight,
cannot afford to risk drifting into that
morbid condition brought on by disease
but should consult a physician who
has demonstrated his ability to success
fully battle with disease and come out
victorious in the end.
DIR. l.. M. Turbin, the Chicago physi-
clan who has made regular monthly
visits to our city for many years, has
been successful in acquiring that ease
and promptitude of execution which
are due to superior mental training,
and has perfected method of effective
treatment which is necessary in re-
building the body.
His thorough knowledge of the theory
and practice of medicine; his years of
experience, and the demonstrations of
his skill which can be found among our
friends and neighbors prove that he is
competent, and capable of giving salts
factory treatment to those who seek
his advice.
The confidence and trust the people
in this vicinity place in the Doctor
show that those in need of his services
should consult him at the Bells Hotel
when he visits Wausau.

JURY SOFTENED OFFENSE.

Herman Sam, tried last week in cir
cult court on charge of attempted
murder, was found guilty by the jury
Friday night of assault with weapon
with the intent to do great bodily harm.
The case was on trial three days. The
story of the alleged crime is about as
| follows:
One day last fall Sam came to the
city from his farm in the town of Texas,
and among his purchases, according to
his own story next day, was COM
Portable load of tanglefoot of quality
different from that used in catching
flies. On his way home he stopped at
several irrlgating establishments and
while at one o. these his team broke
the tie strap and starred off for home.
Albert Rennel, q former employ OF
Sam, met the team on the road and
drove the horses home and stabbed
them. Mrs. Sam came out Of The
house and held the lantern for Kennel
and after the horses were housed for
the night, Mrs. Sam and Kennel
walked over to the house. At about
that time Sam entered the yard and
seeing his former hired man in the COM
pany of his wife he was at once angered
and fight Immediately ensued. Sam
claimed to have a suspicion that the
intent of Kennel was to break up the
formers home, that his past conduct
toward Mrs Sam was not what it
should have been. Being suspicious of
Kennels movements he was naturally
beside himself with rage when he found
the man at his home that evening.
During the fight which followed, Sam
drew pocket knife out of his pocket
and slashed Kennel several times, one
cut across the shoulders being several
inches deep. Kennel went to the home
of neighboring farmer and had his
wounds bound up and then came to
Wausa.u for surgical assistance End re-
mained in st. Mary's hospita. for some
time, Sam came to the city next day
and gave himself up.
After the jury announced that it had
arrived at verdict, Judge Silverthorn
was summoned and court opened at
about nine O'Clock that night But
Sam was not present and his osence
greatly worried his attorneys. IT was
ascertained at his boarding house that
ne had gone home to his farm seven
miles out in the country. The attorneys
for the defense explained to the judge
that the defendant was unfamiliar with
court procedure and promised to pro-
duce their client in court the next
morning. Early next morning Sam
appeared in the city and was very
much surprised to learn that his pres
ence was sought the night before.
When he appeared in court that morn
ing he was fined $l00, which is the
minimum sentence which could be inn
posed. His attorneys at once paid the
fine

In the old year dear ones gone,
Yet to others dear ones born;
Let all your wishes be sincere
On this happy, glad New Year!
For some blessing we have had.

Make someone happy, do not delay;
Doing good deeds make our lives more

Help those who have burdens to bear,
And make their heart light on a glad
