DEATH OF JOHN GRAY.

The following notice of the death of
man well known to Marathon county
people, is taken from the Los Angeles
(Cai. Times
sGRAY. At his home in this city, on Octo-
Der IL, 1907, John Gray, native of New
Brunswick. aged so years. Funeral ser
vices Thursday at p. m. at residence, No.
222o Bellevue avenue. Interment private.
Please send no flowers.
A dispatch was received in the city
by Mrs. Alexander Stewart, who is a
sister of deceased, at the time of death,
but the sad news did not become gen
orally known until Saturday, when sew
eral letters and papers were received
containing the same. Mr.. Gray had
not been we'll for year past and
last summer came east and among 9th
er places intended to visit Wausau.
Mrs. Gray accompanied him and they
stopped in Pipestone, Mimi, to visit
their daughter. While there Mr.. Gray
was taken violently i'll and when he re-
covered sufficiently, he was taken back
to his home in Los Angeles. He con-
tinued to improve and a letter says :
"Only the day before his last illness, he
seemed to be better than for long
time. He went down town, attended
to business, and many little details, and
seemed to be. SO well that we thought
he was going to become strong again
and he his old, active self A few hours
before he died he sank into complete
Inconsistencies"
John Gray came to the Wisconsin
pinery and settled in Marathon county
in 1919, with Messrs. John and Alexan-
der Stewart. During his entire life
here he was engaged in numbering, and
up to the time he went to California, in
1898, he was one of the best known
lumbermen in the valley. For years he
owned saw mill several miles out of
Schotield, and manufactured an i'm
mense tract of timber and then he
cleared up a large stock farm. After
moving to California, he came back
each year for about seven or eight
years until all his holdings in Marathon
county were disposed of. Most of his
life here of nearly half a century, he
and his family resided at Schofield. He
built the residence now owned by
Frank B. Fullmer, and it was the Gray
home for many years.
He was a man of sterling qualities
and beloved and esteemed by all who
had the honor of his acquaintance, and
the sad news of his death will be a
source of deep sorrow to his old time
friends.
He is survived by his wife and two
daughters, Mrs. Jessie Gray Cawley, of
Pipestone, Mimi, and Mrs. Mary Gray
BOhan, of Los Angeles, Cal.

The REPLY COUPON.

The Wausau post Office on Oct. Z, made
requisition upon the postal department
at Washington for supply of what is
known as reply coupons, and they are
expected to arrive any day. The
coupons went into use On Oct. LIST, &C
cording to a new ruling of the depart
ment. The reply coupon is a new thing
to the people of this country, and they
are used in this way: If you have
mother-in-law in foreign country
whom you desire to write to and whom
you think is too poor to buy postage for
an answer, you go to post office and
purchase a reply coupon. You send
her the coupon in the letter and she
goes to her nearest post office and is
given &c stamp of that country.
Nearly every civilized country on the
globe is allied with what is known as
the International Postal union and re-
ply coupons sold in this country are re-
deemable in any country in the union.
Likewise coupons sold in those countries
can be exchanged for stamps in this
country. The coupons sell for &c each.
The scheme is practically the same as
sending reply postage to anyone. AS
the postage stamps of one country are
not good in another the reply coupon is
used. The Wausau post Office officials
were notified that no promise could be
made as to when the coupons could be
expected, for the reason that the govern
ment Only recently began printing
them and must supply thousands of
post offices all over the country.

STILL UNC0MPLETED.

The second story of the Wausau fed
eral building is still in an uncompleted
state and it will be some little time yet
before it is finished The contract
called for the completion of the build
ing by Oct LIST and the contractors are
now nearly month over that time
We are told that the construction COM
pany will be held for the rent the land
Office will be obliged to pay after Oct.
1st and any other expenses accruing.
1t is the intention to move the land
Office into the second story. Where a
company does not complete a govern
ment building at the specified time, it
is also subject to fine for every day
thereafter that the building is in an un-
completed state, if it is shown that the
company is at fault. Whether or not
the concern working on the Wausau
building will be obliged to forfeit any
money for failure to comply with the
terms of its contract, we are not pre-
pared to say. One of the artisans work
ing on tie building, putting the marble
wainscotings in place, has lived in this
country for over thirty years and is I'M
able to speak word Of English. He is
an Italian. His fellow worknen speak
to him in the sign language.

A DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN.

Senator Moses f. Clapp, of Mime
sofa, was a guest of Wausau citizens
over Sunday. He. arrived here Satur-
day afternoon and was met at the depot
by prominent citizens who escorted
him up town in al automobile. After
the supper hour for nearly three hours he
received numerous people, who called
at the Bells hotel to pay him their
respects. Senator Clapp came here
upon invitation of church people to
speak upon subjects pertaining to
christianity. He was advertised to
speak in the Presbyterian church Sun
day afternoon under the auspices of the
Y. M. G. A, to men only, and in the M !.
4. church in the evening at a union
meeting. At the afternoon meeting M.
b. Rosenberg presided as chairman
and introduced the speaker. There
was large gathering of people present
and the senator's topic was christian
Liberty" AS might be inferred from
the topic, he traced the effect christian
ity has had upon the world throughout
its history. The address was very
scholarly effort and the senator stamped
himself as gifted speaker.
In the evening another large audience
was present to hear him speak upon
the topic "Forces Making for National
Character" He took up different
phases of our national, social and moral
life and discussed them III a manner
evincing a wonderful knowledge of
conditions and wide range of subject
matter.
The senator is spoken of as one of the
best and most highly pleasing speakers
who has visited Wausau in long time.

IN M EM0RIAM.

On Saturday, October nineteenth, at
Depere, Wis, Mrs. Margaret Miller
Workman departed this life at the age
of seventy-five years. Mrs Workman
was born in Dalhonsie, Canada, and at
an early age came to Wisconsin with
her parents, who with trust and conf
dence in the brotherhood of mankind,
looked forward to the community life
then being formed in Ceresco, as the
fulfillment of their dreams of peace and
prosperity. While disappointed in the
main, to those who truly lived this life
remained 10 the end the bonds of love
even as in one family.
She was married to William Work
man and lived in Ripon until 1872,
when the family went to Depere, where
she made her home until her death.
Her children are Willism Nj. Workman
and Mrs. Sheldon Wilcox of Depere,
and Mrs David Thomas of this city.
Her character was built up in quiet
ness day by day, in patience, gentle
ness, benevolence and in charity with
all men. To her friends and neighbors
she was always the unassuming friend
and mother, ever patient, kind and low
ing; the poor found help in their need,
and the sick and Borrowing hand to
soothe and comfort.
To her the words fifty apply:
''She openeth her mouth with wisdom and in
her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up and call her blessed and
her husband also, and he praiseth her"
The burial was Tuesday morning at
Woodlawn cemetery in this city.-Ripon
Commonwealth, Oct. 25th.
Mrs. Workman was the oldest sister
of Mrs. Walter Armstrong, of this city,
and in the fifties, when a young lady,
she resided in Wausau for a time and
was known to many of our old time
citizens. The interment was in the
Ripon cemetery, in the family lot,
where most of the members of the
family are buried. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Armstrong were in attendance
atthe funeral.
