Pass, where hard fight was expected,
because of the position held by the
Spanish troops Then came the sign
ing of the protocol and the armistice
which caused hostilities to cease. In
October the company was called home
and landed in New York. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad furnished two parlor
cars for our company and the boys
landed in Wausau on Oct. 81, little
over six months from their departure.
The city council appropriated $3.50 for
decorations, and citizens committees
were appointed TO see shat the company
was well taken care of upon its arrival,
and everyone living here at that time
will remember the reception accorded
L it.
There were very many interesting
events during that short campaign,
which would make good reading if
properly told. The boys have never
regretted the trip, Notwithstanding the
rations they got, and some will tell you
today that they got so used to wormy
beef that they liked it.
There was only one sad feature of the
campaign, and that was the death of
Frank Gauger, who died at about the
time the company was ready to return
home. His remains were brought here
at the expense of the government and
were given military funeral

EASTER EGGS

There are many superstitions in con-
nection with Easter, and each country
has custom of celebrating it peculiar
to itself. Among the many quaint
superstitions is the old Ayron one which
typifies the return of the sun of Spring
time by golden egg-eggs being dis
tributed at the early equinox by priests
to strengthen the hopes of the people
that the bleak, cold days of winter
might soon cease and brighter time
ensue.
The Persians believed that the earth
was hatched from an immense egg on
Easter morning; the Aryans also be-
leved the sun to be large golden egg
which was constantly rolling to the
earth.
With the Jews, the egg became a
type of their rescue from the land of
bondage, and in their feast of the Pass
over, eggs occupied conspicuous place
in the services 1t was their connection
with the latter that finally caused them
to be used by Christians the world over
in celebrating Easter-the egg of resur-
rection into new life, bringing a mes
sage of life from death, as it were.

$1,000 FOR A WOMAN.

There may be nothing new under the
sun, but "When the Mummy Moves" is
certainly an original title for story
1t is, of course, a story of mystery and
it is so ingenious ard interesting a
mystery that THE CHICAGO RECORD
HERALD, in which it appears serially,
offers first prize of $1,000 to the
woman who makes the best solution,
with 115 other cash prizes for women
and girls who make the next best sou
tions. The story begins in The RECORD
HERALD, Thursday, April %, and the
conditions of the contest will be found,
accompanying each installment, in
that paper. Those who have been un-
able to get THE RECORD HERALD con-
tanning the early installments may OBJ
tain reprint of those installments by
writing to the Prize Mystery Editor,
The RECoRD-HERALD, Chicago. While
the masculine sex is not eligible IN this
competition it is probable that it will
interest the whole family circle and
there is no reason why men should not
help their wives, daughters or friends
to successful solution.

The Merrill News finds consolation
in the fact that Wausau has voted to
do away with partisan politics in mum
icipal elections, and has just adopted
the plan of keeping the post Office open
until o'clock evenings, whereas Mer-
rill took both stands years ago. The
News infers that Wausau is ''just catch
ing up' with Merrill in the march oil
progress. The News is welcome to any
consolation it may get out of the mat.
ter In other matters we will bet our
old bonnet that the News editor will
agree with us that we haze more up-to-
the minute methods than any other
city in Wisconsin of our size. When
the Merrill editor wants respectable
hair cut he always comes to Wausau to
get it. Further, our east and west
sides live in the peace and harmony OF
two turtle doves, which cannot be said
of one city we might mention.

TIME FLIES.

Yesterday marked the tenth annivers-
arYof the departure of Co. G of this
city. at the call of Gov. Schofield, to
play its part in the Spanish-American
war. The company left Wausau on
Thursday morning, April 81, 1895, for

eighty men, While in camp there the
company was recruited up to full
strength. From Milwaukee the CON-
pany went 10 Chicamauga, Tenn, then
TO Charleston, 5. c., and lastly to the
island of Porto Rico. The boys had
been previously notified by the adjutant
general TO hold themselves in readiness
and at midnight of Wednesday, April
20, twelve taps of the fire bell notified
them that the call to arms had come,
aud they assembled at the armory and
spent the remainder of the night in
packing equipment and preparing to
leave. The next morning, on their de
parture, they were given farewell by
thousands of people who assembled a
the c. L n. w. depot, where specia
ears were ia waiting for them. They
remained in Camp Harvey two week.
and then went to Chicamauga. From
Chicamauga they marched over lant
twelve miles to Ringold, Ga, ans
boarded cars for Charleston, where the.
camped in warehouses until about tn
10th of July and then shipped on boar'
a transport for Porto Rico, landing a
Ponce. Upon the arrival of the trans
port the Spanish garrison fled north

marched twenty miles to Coamo, wher,
a skirmish was participated in, result
ing in the capture of 800 Spanish so
diers. The next move was to Abonit
