MRS. w. (. JOHNSON.

After long illness Mrs w. Everett
Johnson, wife of Rev FIR. johnson. who
lately assumed the rectorship of st.
Johns Episcopal church, passed away
at an early hour Friday morning. She
was very i'll when the family moved
here from New York a few weeks ago,
and at that time little hope was held
for her recovery.
She was born in the state of Vermont
thirty years ago and was married seven
years since to Rev. johnson. Besides
her husband she is survived by two
sons, aged respectively l and years.
Also by her father and sister, Mrs
Hiram Wingate, a resident of Vermont,
who was with her since the family
arrival here.
Rev. johnson and children have the
united sympathy of our people in their
great loss.
The funeral services were conducted
yesterday morning at ten O'Clock in
st. Johns church by Rev. L. P. John
son of Minneapolis, a brother of Rev.
w. E. johnson. Interment was made
in Pine Grove cemetery.

THE ABERCROMBIE RECITAL.

Among the most delightful concerts
which the music loving people of Wau-
sau have ever been privileged to enjoy,
was that given at the M. E. church last
Tuesday evening by Mrs. Lulu James
Abercombie, assisted by her husband
MIR. Thos. Abercrombie, tenor, and Mrs.
F. IL. Brigham. accompanist. This con-
cert was advertised to take place about
ten days previous to Tuesday, but had
to be postponed, because of severe
cold which Mrs. Abercrombie had con-
tracted. This rather confused some as
to dates, and the fact that there were
several other entertainments the same
evening tended to keep down the at
tendance. Those who were not present
missed rich treat. Mrs. Abercrombie
is special favorite in Wausau and on
Tuesday evening she was at her best,
and sang so beautifully that she was
called and recalled and in every in
stance responded, and withal, gave in
finite pleasure to all present. The pro-
gram was especially made up for her,
containing such delightful numbers as
"Duet from Robin Hood" The Bird 8
and Their Matins," "Husheen," aria
from "Oberon" and a group of old
songs which were greatly enjoyed
by the audience.
Mr.. Abercrombie had been heard by
Wausau audiences on number of oc-
casions. He possesses tenor voice of
unusual range and sweetness and on
this occasion, it was in splendid condi-
ton. His numbers were all received
with enthusiasm and he was repeatedly
en- ncored.
Mrs Brigham, as accompanist, added
very much to the success of the enter
tainment.
Mr.. and Mrs Abercrombie departed
Thursday morning for Austin, Texas,
and were accompanied by the latter's
mother, Mrs. s. P james. They will

banks have not lost a dollar to their
depositors, his memory ran back only
four years. Laboring men and old re-
tired farmers who have lost their hard
earned savings in some of our banking
institutions, were passed-forgotten.
The excellent features ION paper of the
postal savings banking system were
brought out of Mr.. Frears suit case for
display.
Then he aimed few pokes at John
Aylward and Neal Brown which did
not make much of hit, and launched
into flattery of republican legislation
under the LaFollette regimes.
All the progressive" legislation of
the country enacted in the past few
years has haG Its birth in Wisconsin
and the state has been held up model
child in the great family of states, and
yet when the Chicago convention was
held, the little minority report of our
Wisconsin republican friends was
turned down by their own party and
consigned to the tomb of oblivion amid
doleful dirges from the Wisconsin g. o.
p. camp. 1t was an unkind act, but
cold, political history must record it.
Taken as a whole, Mr.. Frear's address
was not one of that character which
warns up or enthuses voters. 1t did
not have the ring of LaFollette, q
Keator, a Quarles or some of the other
speakers the republicans have brought
to Wausau in years gone by. And in
4 explanation why republicans refuse to
enthuse this year we might adopt three

THE GUARANTEE OFBANK
DEPOSITS.

Mr.. EDITOR:
When | gave my view on the PROPOSE
tion for the guarantee of bank deposits,
| was we'll aware of certain criticisms
referred to BY Mr.. l.. A. Pradt, in the
Record Herald of the 3rd. | am sur
prised, however, that the composite
wisdom of the opposition has only been
able to produce arguments, based upon
an assumed pride or selishness of men
engaged in banking, or upon criticisms
easily remedied by law. And that in
cludes the very improbable organiza-
tions by unfit men,"
The error is made in the first place in
regarding bank as private institu-
tion and comparing it with private bust
less; when in fact bank whether state
or national owes its creation and con-
duct of business to law calculated to
insure public safety; and that is because
business affairs and public welfare, that
every person, whatever his vocation, is
interested in its stability.
The arguments produced against the
guarantee of bank deposits, apply as
well with reference to every known
system of insurance or of taxation and
voluntary arrangement for the pur-
pose is not only impracticable, but for
the main purpose, valuelesS.
A large percentage of bank deposits,
is the money of the comparatively poor,
who, by perhaps a lifetime of toll and
self sacrifice, have laid a little aside for
the necessity of old age. 1t is not sui fiji
cient at all times to say TO these people
You should be satisfied with the secur-
ity."
1t is claimed also, that the largest
percentage of business of the country
is made possible by reason of bor
rowed capital furnished by poor people
as time deposits in banks. So that the
absolute assurance of safety, not only
protects the depositor but the borrower
in his business and the bank in its
ability to render assistance. Mr.. Bryan
has proposed an absolute guarantee
not only to prevent losses and hard
ships for the innocent depositor, but to
create confidence, faith if you please,

THE FIGHT FOR HUMANITY,

The great modern wars are fights for
humanity. The old style war brought
sorrow, and evil and death The war
fare of today differs from the old, be-
cause it is carried on for the good of
the millions, and its success means
happiness, prosperity and life.
The wonderful advances made in
medical science in the last few years;
the boldness with which men of science
are attacking disease; their faith in
ultimate triumph and the results they
accomplish, have removed all doubt
that scientific methods, properly ap-
piled, can overcome the ills from which
mankind has suffered through ignOr
ance or carelessness for ages.
The grave error made by many per-
sons in i'll health is in selecting the
wrong method when seeking relief.
Then, when they feel helpless and des-
pair of ever getting well, they wonder
why they are so afflicted. The physi-
clan who is conscientious, we'll equipped
with careful, scientific training, to-
gether with experience-has perfected
a method of treatment which precludes
ali possibility of failure in the average
case.
A physician who has won the respect
of our people by his unerring judg-
ment in selecting the methods of treat
ment which have brought positive and
permanent relief to so many of our
friends and neighbors, is DIR. l.. NJ.
Tnrbin, the specialist from Chicago,
who spends one day each month in our
city.
DR.. Turbin is qualified to successfully
treat any one afflicted with chronic
forms of disease and has so thoroughly
demonstrated his ability to those living

CHANGE IN BALLOT.

In the general election this fall voters
will find a change in the old form of
ballot. One cross at the top of the
democratic ticket, the one the majority
of the American people will vote this
fall, will still vote the entire ticket, in
Guiding candidates for the state, con-
gressionsl, legislative and county
offices and presidential electors. This
may be done by putting cross in the
circle at the top of the ticket.
But the change comes in that the
presidential electors are. no longer at
the head of the ticket. They are now
at the bottom and in adivision set off by
itself. The candidates for governor
head the ticket and are followed down
in order by the other candidates for
congress, for the legislature and then
the county offices. And way down
below all these come the names of
the candidates for the presidential
electors.

draw the money from the hiding places
/ to be deposited and put into circulation
and thus insure a speedy return and
more permanent prosperity.
In order to be preventative of our
periodical money panics and their
disastrous consequences, the guarantee
system must include all the banks of
the country. No rights are violated in
legislating for the permanent welfare
of all the people. And to assume that
proper regulation and safeguards
would not be provided when all the
banks and all the people are interested
is to doubt the ability of the American
people for government. In the light of
recent events it is conceded that there
is demand for measure for perfect
ing our financial system. The guaran-
anteeing of bank deposits is the only
measure proposed which gives any as
surance OF beneficial result for all the
people. The restoration and mainten-
apce of confidence, the bringing in6o
the channels of trade hundreds of mil
lions of money, cannot fail of having a
beneficial effect upon business of
the country, and the assurance of great
er permanancy will add to its value.
Is it not fair to ask, why do not the
critics invent a better plan? Must we
be content with the Aldrich law and
the asset currency proposition which
are only calculated to add fuel when
the frying pan is in the fire. Are these
measures calculated to restore or main
tain confidence, or are they only to
help out the stock speculatOr in an
emergency? Must we import the
European system of postal savings
banks which draw the money out of
business and thus reduce the opportun-
ity for labor and check the develop
ment of our urresources? Or, finally, must
we adopt the Central bank system, add
another monopoly and destroy the en-
tire American banking system. | am
free to admit that have faith in the
American people and their ability to
perfect financial system, at once safe
and permanent and conforming to
American business methods.

little address.
In his opening remarks Mr.. Frear
said that it was with somewhat of a
faint heart he came to this city,
because of the fact that the chairman
and secretary of the democratic state
central committee reside here, as does
also the democracy's candidate for U.

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF INTEREST WHICH WERE PUBLISHED
IN WAJSAU OVER FIFTY YEARS. AGO.

This article, written on the battle
field by Stephen Durkee was published
in the Marathon County Record, Jan
uary Sth, 1868. viz:
OUR>ARMY CORRESPONDENTS
FROM THE 81 TENTH REGIMENT.
CAMP OPPOSITE FREDERICKSBURG, !
VA, December II, 1862.
Since / last wrote to you the Seventh
has passed through another battle, and
| will give the reader short history of
the battle, from the time we crossed the
Rappahannock till we re-crossed it, and
also of the enemys fortifcation as seen
from our positions.
We crossed the river at 8 O'Clock P. NJ
on the 18th, Friday, and camped for the
night. The rebels gave US slight well
come by sending few shells, while we
eret.nassed, some of which struck in
our brigade without doing injury. In
the evening General Burnside rode
along the lines and was cheered vocifer-
ously as he passed, seemingly to have
great confidence in their commander.
The 18th, at O. o'clock A. NJ, we were
ordered to the front, on the left flank,
which General Doubleday was ordered
to hold his division, being the left of the
line and our rigade-that is Merideth's s
the extreme left. About 10 O'Clock
A. NJ. we were ordered to advance our
line so as to gain possession Of piece of
woods whidh the rebels then held; our
skirmishers were thrown out and bat
terry B. 5th o. S. Artillery. (of which
Alonzo Priest is an efficient member, }
was got into position and commenced
shelling the woods; the rebels soon left
removing all their killed and wounded
They had one piece of artillery disabled
which they took off the field. We took
five horses and some prisoners.
Gen. Doubleday's division advanced d
about one and half miles during
the day, under heavy fire of artillery.
In the afternoon the firing on both sides
came to lull, but about sunset it was
again opened on the extreme right of
the rebels on our flank, the firing being
principally by artillery and sharpshoot-
ers. The artillery fire was mostly di-
rected to the infantry in support of the
artillery.
Our loss in the Seventh was one killed
and three wounded The Twenty-fourth
Michigan of our brigade suffered most;
their loss was seven killed and sixteen
wounded. They are new regiment,
but done credit to themselves and the
state from where they hail.
The following night our regiment
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1908-10-13

was detailed for picket duty. IAN occa-
slonal shot from the sharpshooters and
now and then charge of canister from
the rebels caused us much annoyance
during the night. On Sunday all was
silent most of the day, except picket
firing in front, all keeping line of battle
formed ready to advance when ordered.
On the 14th, Companies G and III were
thrown out as skirmishers, at 8 O'Clock
A. NJ; the rest of the regiment remained
in line of battle. At night we were re-
lieved by the Nineteenth Indiana, and
fell back to our line of battle in front,
on the left flank, being our former posi-
ton, and were again ordered to sleep
on our arms. Just as many were clos
ing their eyes for little rest, when lol
the order came to pack up as quietly as
possible. Then commenced one of the
greatest military feats of good general
ship ever undertook-thato of fre-crossing
large river with a great army and a
hostile foe in front capable of annihilat-
ing the army, owing to to their super
ior position. Never did 1 witness
the hand of Providence more
fully exhibited to the children of men
the God of battles led us over safe and
dry shod.
During the retreat our left rested
about eighty rods from the line of rebel
batteries. Our artillery was moved to
the rear by hand, and during the night
a strong wind arose which continued to
increase so that our pickets in front of
our line of battle knew nothing of our
departure till ordered, towards daylight,
to gradually fall back. We re-crossed
the Rappahannock in good order and
camped for the night. Towards day
light it commenced to rain which made
it quite uncomfortable You can i'm
agine the indignation of the rebels
when they learned of our successful
withdrawal.
About 3 o'clock on the morning of the
18th we moved our camp one mile, and
since then have moved four times, and
every time, designed to go into winter
quarters. think winter quarters will
not be our portion, at least l hope not.
We are now camped, this 25th day of
December, one mile from Potomac
Creek and near Bells Plane.
Your readers will please excuse this
hasty sketch, as l now write while on
picket post. l close by wishing you all
a merry Christmas" and "a Happy
New Year -

NOTEWORTHY TRUST DEED.

What is without doubt the largest
document of its kind ever recorded in
Wisconsin will soon be received by w.

given by the Pabst Brewing company
to the Wisconsin Trust company aud

the city of Milwaukee, every town and
village in Milwaukee county and the
following fifteen states Connecticut,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,

Missouri, Nebraska. New York. Ohio.
Oklahoma, Virginia, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.
The counties included in Wis .ons; Il
are the following: Ashland, Cdun't
