STATE DECLAMATORY CONTEST,

The state declamatory contest will
be held this year in Wausau, at the
high school assembly hall the evening
of Friday. June 9TH The state contest
has always been held in Madison.
many OF the principals, however, have
felt that the contest should be taken
from Madison in order to give some
other cities an opportunity of seeing a
state contest. They objected 10 giving
Madison all the good things and the re-
suits of the efforts of Principal Parlin
and other principals who have sought
to have the place changed, this year
brings the contest to Wausau and our
citizens will have an opportunity OF
seeing the best work done in d, clama-
ton in all parts of the state. Every
contestant who appears in the contest
has already won three contests, the
local, the league, and the district aud
so is sure to be first class Much in
terest is taken in defamation work ia
all the districts and the state declama-
tory contest is always a splendid exhi-
bition of that kind of work.
The Wausau high school has taken
prominent part in the state contests the
past three years. Three years ago
Miss Mary Mcneil won third place in
the state contest; two years ago Miss
Elsie Dupre won first place, last year
Miss Elizabeth Plantz was defeated in
the district contest by Sparta boy
and so Wausau had no representative
in the state contest, but the Sparta boy
who had beaten Miss Plantz by mar
row margin, won the first place in the
state contest.
Miss Plantz speaks the same declama
ton she did last year but is speaking it
better than she did last year, and hav-
ing won the district contest with three
straight firsts, she enters the state con-
test with good prospects of being one
of the place winners. Five judges will
be secured for the contest from differ
ent sections of the state; the expenses
of the judges and the contestants are
guaranteed by the local management
and the general management has been
assured that the city of Wausau will
appreciate the contest and will furnish
an audience worthy of the last and
greatest efforts of all these declaimers.
Reserved seats will be on sale at w.

TOOK SUICIDE ROUTE.

a story comes from the town of Hol-
ton of certain conditions existing in q
family residing in that town, which,
for depravity, causes one to believe
that the FIJI islanders are civilized
when compared with these people.
Elma Dege, a thirteen year old girl, was
attending school, when last week,
through an Investigation her teacher
made, warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of her step-father. Martin
Haubrich. Evidently he feared arrest
and disappeared for several days. Last
Sunday morning he returned home at
very early hour and went into the
barn and some time later the other
members of the family heard the report
of gun and an investigation showed
that he had committed suicide. He
placed shot gun to his breast and
pulled the trigger. Seven buck shot
passed through the lower portion of
his heart and came out of his left shout
der.
An inquest was conducted by the
town justice and from information OBJ
tanned it was learned that Albert, an
older brother of the girl is also a guilty
party to the girls condition. He made
full confession to the sheriff and
others and was brought to Wausau and
locked up awaiting some disposition to
be made of him.
The mother died about three years
ago, leaving six children, four of them
by former marriage. Since then the
children have had no care, and the
officials who investigated say they don't
care to handle another case like it. The
town board will take the children and
place them in some institution or in
homes, where they may have an oppor-
tunity of getting an education and of
growing up in civilized state.

Accident Occurs
On Central
Siding.
DAMAGE $500.
Cab Torn From Locomotive and
Flying Pieces Of Iron Narrow
y Miss Fireman Who Was
ShOYeIiug Coal When The
Impact Came.

There came near being a serious
accident at the siding of the Central
avenue and Washington street this
morning, when an engine crashed
INTO a train of loaded freight cars.
The engine, which was No. S51,
was damaged to the extent of about
$500. The cab was torn from the
engine and pieces of it narrowly
missed the fireman, who was SHOW
cling coal at the time.
The accident occurred as the loco
motive was drilling on the siding. A
train of freight cars had been push
ed over a switch. There was no
room for the Central engine to pass
over the switch without striking the
cars. The engineer did not see this,
as he was on the opposite side. The
engine crashed into car No. IL, ,15O
and tore open one end of it. The car
was filled with grain.
Had the fireman been in his cab
at the time, he might have been kill
ed as 1t was torn to splinters and
steam pipes were torn up and bent
into masses of scrap iron. The 1S
x12 inch. beam on the pilot Of the
engine was demolished.
The impact caused the engine to
leak, and it was taken to the side
ing south of New Brunswick avenue.

FORGED CHECKS.
IN SMALL SUMS.
Bore Signature and Were Passed
on StOrekeepeT and Liquor
Dealer.
MADE OUT TO W. C. HARRIS

AS the result of taking checks, a
local clothing dealer and a saloon
proprietor are out amounts of $3.50
and 1920, respectively The checks
bore the forged signature of j. X.
Jensen, architect.
They were cashed, but, when they
reached the bank, payment was re-
fused. They were not made out on
Mr.. Jensen's regular checks and
were numbered upwards of 1000,
while Mr.. Jensen's checks at this
bank have reached only about the
1000 mark. This at once caught
the eye of the officials at the First
National bank, who declared the
checks worthless.
The checks were made out to w.
C. Harris. One was cashed at the
saloon at 311 State street, and the
other at NJ Gavronsky's store in the
Joselson building.
Mr.. Jensen thinks that the man
knew his business and made the
checks out in small amounts, so that
1t would appear as though he was
working for him. 1t is thought that
there may be other checks still out.

PRIMARIES OF
DEMOCRATS
Will Be Held Here Between 7
and 8 O'clock Tomorrow Night
TO Elect Delegates.
REPUBLICANS CHOOSE LATER

The primaries to elect delegates
to the democratic state convention,
will be held in this city from 7 until
s O'Clock tomorrow night. The
will be held at each of the
polling places in the different wards
and in all twelve delegates will be
chosen from this city.
Prominent politicians this morn
ing, said it.. was impossible to give
an idea as to who the delegates
as there is little honor in being
chosen, as they must pay their own
expenses. The convention will be
held at Trenton, April %, and on
the same day the primaries for the
republican state convention will be
held In this city.
1t was asserted this morning by
well known republican politician
that the G. o. P. county committee
cheated this city and Cranbury out
of half delegate each to the adj
vantage of New Brunswick.
"'Twenty-nine delegates were al
lotted to this county, said the
NEWS informant, according to the
number of voters. AS our number
of republican votes is 1,60S, we are
entitled to five delegates. Instead
we get Az. New Brunswick has
2,635 republican voters and takes
ten delegates, instead of nine, which
is. all they are entitled to. If we
were allowed five instead of 4 ". the
sixth ward could elect whole dele
gate, instead of one with only half
vote"

District Organizer Hanrattie, of
Newark, a brother of Anthony Han
rattle, of this city, addressed a meet
ing of the Timers Union in the meet
ing rooms over Rocks & Lyons cafe,
in Smith street, last night.
Nearly all of the members were
present and the meeting was one Of
the most important that has been
held in some time. 1t is the inten-
tion of the union to affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor, and
the matter was up for discussion last
night.
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday night, when action In the
matter will probably be taken.
Since the Building Trades Council
was disbanded several local unions

BURGLAR SHOT
IN HIS FLIGHT

Detectives HUFF and Long made an
investigation of the attempted bur-
bIary at William Fazekas' home, 80
Inslee street, yesterday, and think
they have clue which will lead to
an arrest.
The detectives examined the gate
and found that 1t contained 100
shots. Another shell was opened
and counted and found to contain
200 No. shots.
In view of this fact, the detectives
declare that the man must have been
hit and probably has eighty leaden
pellets In his body, as on account of
the high board gate, none OF the
shots could have gone astray.
If the man was wounded, the de-
tectives think he will, II he has not
already done SO, call on some doctor
for medical attention, and in this
way, be caught,

COOL RECEPTION
FOR Mr.. BRYAN
Republicans Showed More En-.
thuSiasm Than the Democrats
at Trenton Yesterday.
ENTERTAINED BY GOVERNOR

Trenton, Apr. 22:--William Jen-
nings Bryan paid his long talked Of
visit to Trenton yesterday, got a
frosty welcome from the demo-
Gratis, a very cordial one from the
republicans, and made one of his
characteristic political speeches, in
which he threw a few bricks at New
Jerseys greatest democrat, Grover
Cleveland. If he was after New Jer-
sey support at the coming Denver
convention of his party-and he
didn't say that he wasn't-he failed
to get much encouragement.
In view of the fact that the Leg
islature, which invited Mr. Bryan to
the city, had adjourned before he
found time to accept the proffered
hospitality, the official entertatn-
ment OF the visitor was thrust on
Governor Fort, republican. The
governor responded to the occasion
very energetically, in fact, almost
too energeticaliy to suit the demo-
Gratis, who were lukewarm at the
best over the incident.
Lunches with Republicans.

There was a disposition to resent

announcing the time Of his visit.
