CLIMBING THE LADDER.

A clipping from recent issue of the
Coos Bay Times, published in Marsh
field, Ore, says:
"Mr. Brown district attorney also
announced yesterday that he had
selected l.. A. Liljeqvist. prominent
young attorney, to assist him in the
duties of prosecuting attorney for this
district. Mr.. Liljeqvis'3s appointment
will be effective at orlce. The honor
upon Mr.. Liljeqyist is source of graft
fication to his many friends. Mr.. Lii
jeqvist took the oath of Office today.
He will act rs deputy district attorney
for Coos county and cid Mr.. Brown in
enforcing the laws in this section" !"
This isgood news to Lawrence's many
friends in Wausau. He is graduate
of the Wausau high school and of the
law department of the University of
Wisconsin.
The same paper has another mention
of him. Lawrence 10 gifted with con-
siderable dramatic talent and travelled
for short time with a dramatic COM
pany, before deciding upon taking up
the profession of law. At an entertain
ment given in his home city for the
benefit of library, he recited Stephen
Philips play, "Paolo and Francesca" !"
and we clip only small portion of the
favorable criticism the above named
paper gave him, as follows:
1.-The stirring scenes in such a play
are always difficult to render, especially
when read, without the inspiration of
stage trappings, and the test of success
full rendition is sustained when the
audience passes into the scene with the
actor or reader and feels its full import
Such was the merit of Mr.. Liljeqvist's
work that the scenes, whether of love
or fancy, of peace or battle, of merri-
ment or tragedy, were masterpieces
and the audience part of them.''
Lawrence left this city about two
years ago, and since then has been prac-
ticing law in the West.

TO BEGIN MATCHMAKING.

1t is expected that the city's rock
crusher will be started in operation the
latter part of this week-to get supply
of crushed rock on hand. Some time
next week force of workmen will be
put to work on street macadamizing.
The uncompleted portion of north
Third street will be finished first. This
street will be macadamized as far as the
intersection of Bridge street. The city
is short on rock. but il the work laid
over from last year is completed it is
thought the macadam crew win be Kept
busy until next OctsSer. No new work
will be attempted from the present out
look. There IRE number of other
macadam streets which require repairs,
and it is quite likely that this work Will
be takeL up. Figuring on such repairs
and new work as iafd out, there is just
about enough rock on hand to supply
demands.

A GIFTED ORATOR.

Rev. FIR. A. B. G.. Dunno of Eau
Claire, addressed large audience in
st. James church, on the evening
of Tuesday last, choosing for his
topic, 'Impurity." FIR. Dunno is known
all over the state as gifted orator and
he fully sustained that reputation
on this occasion. To say that his
audience was well pleased with his
address would be putting it mildly
Among the things he condemned were
the laws of the present time allowing
divorces to be granted, and the ten
dency of the times to race suicide. He
admonished parents to watch their
children carefully that correct habits
in early life may be formed, and de-
nounced the allowance of guady and
suggestive litho9raphs to be placed on
bill boards where the young may see
them, also wine rooms, viscicus theatres
and other demoralizing places. 1t was
an uplifting address, scholarly and to
the point.

WILLIAM LAATSCH.

William Laatsch, a well known paint.
er of the city, was killed Wednesday
while at work on the malt house of the
Mathie Brewing Co., where he was at
work re-painting the building, in COM
pany with his partner, Elmer Lucas.
The two had completed painting the
tower Of the building and Mr.. Lsatsch
started to 60 down the roof. He
stepped upon ladder lying on the roof
rnfastened, evidently forgetting that it
was not secured to the roof. The lad
der slid off the roof and struck a steel
shaft running across the alley between
the malt house and the Office. When
the ladder struck the shaft Mr.. Laatych
was thrown off it and fell to the cement
sidewalk below, landing on his head.
His skull was fractured so that the
brains oozed out. His neck was broken
and the bones Ia. one of his hands were
broken. The accident was witnessed
by two persons. His partner, Lucas,
saw the ladder siding off the roof and
imnRdiately descended to the ground.
Otto Krohn, an employe Of the brew
cry, saw him fall and went to his assist
ance and attempted to stop the flow of
blood by holding his hand over the
wound in the unfortunate young mans
head. Mr.. Krohn saw that Mr.. Laatsch
was dying. The latter opened his eyes,
uttered few incoherent exclamations
and passed away.
Coroner w. G. Dickens was notified
and after viewing the body and learn
ing the circumstances of death decided
that an inquest was unnecessary The
body was then removed to an under
taking room to be prepared for burial.
Deceased was we'll known young
man of this city. He was born in Wau-
sau Nov. 8, 1875. and this city had been
his home all his life.
he was veteran Of the Spanish
American war and a member of Frank
Gauger Camp of veterans of that war.
He was married July 2, 1907, to Miss
Martha Lambrecht.
William Laatschfwas an industrious
young man, popular in the society in
which he moved, and always took an
active part in any movement for the in
terests of Co. e.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon from the home of his parents, MIR.
and Mrs. Fred Laatsch, $40 jefferson
street, Rev. G. A. Bretscher conducting

SAVE THE ARBUTUS.

Too many Americans are iconoclasts
-unconsciously so, perhaps, but icono-
clasts just the same. They often destroy
the beautiful carelessly, almost wan
tcnly.
In Wisconsin and in other parts OF
the country there blooms the trailing
arbutus. 1t is a JOY forever-or it
should be. 1t comes SO early that it is
one of the first flowers to greet one who
watches for signs of natures awaken
ing from her winter sleep. 1t modestly
peeps out from the edges of the last
snow trift. Its beauty and its fra
GRANGE are so great that they pull ones
hsartstrings.
In its favorite haunts it grows pro-
fusely and yet it is in danger OF exter.
mination. Its stems are tough and
many pull up the roots in order tc
gather the flowers. 1t is cruel, mex
cusable destructiveness.
Be careful. Save the arbutus. Don'i
rob our children and our children''
children.-Milwaukee Journal.

Julius Wohlfahrt, laborer living at
1407 Second street, and employed by
E. l.. Pine, plumber, was entomhed in
a sewer trench Friday evening. He
was buried only for short time, but it
was sufficiently long enough to render
him unconscious and cause those near
him to fear that he would be found dead
when uncovered. He had taken the
precaution to put in pisnks to keep the
walls from caying in, but the weight of
the dirt was too great for the planks to
sustain and the accident resulted. 1t
was fortunate for the man that no bones
were broken, and still more fortunate
that he came out alive.
