EARLY PIONEER
PASSES AWAY
RICHARD POWERS, A FORMER
RESIDENT OF HONEY CREEK,
DIES AT WAUSAU
(Wausau Record-Herald)

Richsrd Powers, Sr., one of the
pioneer settlers of Sauk county and
for ten years resident of this
county, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. William j. Farrell,
Hamilton street, Saturday, after an ILL
ness of about three weeks. The gener-
al breaking down of the system, due
to old age, is given as the cause of
death. He was seventy-nine years
old. The end came at 10 o'clock
with nearly all the children and sever
al grandchildren at the bedside. 1t
was known for the last two or three
days that the end was near and the
out of town children were notified.
All reached here in time with the eX-
ception of Thomas E. of Durant, Ok
lahoma, and Richard E., of this city,
who is also in Oklahoma.
The deceased was native of Que
bee, Canada, and came to Wisconsin
in 1857, four years afterj his marriage
to Miss Marie Carroll, locating in the
town of Honey Creek, Sauk county,
where he lived forty years. He then
came to Marathon county, and lived
on farm in the town flsTeXas, about
five miles north of the city, until last
October, when the farm was sold and
he and Mrs. Powers went to live with
their daughter. Mrs. Farrell
One of Irish Settlement.
Mr.. Powers was one Of number of
h-Canadians, who left Canada in
the fifties and settled in fertile val
ley in Sauk county, forming a settle
ment, which is known in that part of
the state as the "Irish Settlement"
During recent years nearly all of the
families which descended from these
pioneers have left for other parts and
but two or three families are living
there at the present time. Mr.. Pow
ers was one of the last of the settlers to
pass away, only one Or two remaining
at the present time.
He isjsurvived by his widow and
nine chiIdren-Mrs. w. P. Sloan,
James A John d., Mrs. w. J. Far
rel, Richard E. and Miss Glare, all
of Wausau, Mrs. James E. Thornton
and Mrs. Nj. w. Schumacher, both of
Ashland and Thomas E. Powers of

TOPICS IN WASHINGTON
Complaints About What Tariff
Will Do.
ADJUSTING FREE LIST
Government Pleased That SuI<an,s
Government Pleased That Sultan's
Life Was Spared.

Washington, D. c., May r.
The sensation of the week in
Washington was the announce
ment of insubordination to his
superior, the secretary of commerce
and labor, on the part Of Director
North of the Census bureau and
the probability that his resignation
would be called for by the Presi-
dent. A serious scandal is limited
at when the facts become public.
Protests. not only from laymen
but from Legislators as well, are
being registered constantly against
the intricacies of the pending
tariff bill. One of the chief COM
plants is Of dearth Of practical
information as to exactly what is
accomplished by the new bill in
the way Of reducing the cost OF
living and insuring an argument
which will serve the republican
stump speakers in the next con-
gressional campaign.
1t is learned that a tentative
! agreement has been reached by
the republican members OF the
finance committee, as to tea and
coffee, though they have by no
means selected all the articles on
the free list upon which rates Of
duty must be paid by countries
7, which discriminate against the
! United States. While both tea
and coffee shall remain on the free
| list, it is proposed that discretion
be vested with the President to re.
quire the payment Of duty of five
cents pound on coffee and ter
cents pound on tea in the even,
I that countries which export these
articles do not give the United
States fair opportunities for trade
in their markets.
, Great satisfaction is expressed
in official circles in Washington
over the action of the new govern
ment in Turkey in not putting
Abdul Hamid to DEATH To have
done SO would have been construed
as an act of barbarism and by thei
act the young Turks have demon
strated their recognition OF prin.
ciple Of constitutional government
that the life. of human bein,
should not be taken without
trial.

Prisoners Had Knives.

The prisoners of the Idaho state
penitentiary were rounded up one day
last week and each man was searched
by guards, the cells OF the men being
searched at the same time. A score
Of knives Of all descriptions were
found. Most of them were manu-
factured from pieces Of steel, with
leather wrapped around one end to
form a handle. Some were ends OF
caseknivcs, and in two or three in.
stances butcher knives were found.
Any would have been sufficient to cut
the throat Of a guard, as the inside
guards are not permitted to cary
weapons of any kind, owing to the
danger of their being selzed and over
powered by the prisoners and their
guns taken from them. The prison
officials are of the opinion that q
mutiny was being planned.

N. P. NUMBER 3 HELD UP
Two Bandits Robbed Mail and
Escaped.

Escaped.
Northern Pacific passenger train
No. 3, westbound, was held up
Thursday night of last week, about
Io:25 o'clock, at point between
Rathdrum and Hauser Junction.
The two bandits who perpetrated
the holdup seem to have made
good their escape and there seems
to be little likelihood that they will
ever be apprehended. They are
said to have taken nothing but
registered mail, but appear not to
have taken it all, as John M. Re-
pass, postmaster at this place, has
since heard from two pieces of
registered mail which went out
from here on No. 3 that night.
The bandits, according to the
story of young tramp who was
on the train, got on the train at
Standpoint. They forced the engi.
neer to stop the train three miles
west of Rathdrum, made him and
the fireman get off. and cutting the
coaches off, the two bandits ran
the engine and mail and express
cars through Hauser to point be-
tween Trent and Yardley, where
they took the registered mail they
wanted, and abandoning the car
and locomotive, sprang into an
automobile which was in waiting
and made their escape before
officers from Spokane and Rath-
drum could arrive on the scene.
Operator Jones of Hauser was
the first to telegraph word of the
holdup. A posse started from
Spokane and Deputy Sheriff H. ].
Dyer, ex-Sheritf C. A. Mcdonald
and John Handy Of Rathdrum in
the latter's automobile started
from here.
Engineer Fred Whittlesey, is
the same man whose train was
held up near Trent last summer.

DISCUSS SCHOOL MATTERS
Directors May Add Twelfth
Grade Next Term.
IS BELIEVED TO Be NEEDED
Union Of Districts May Also Take
Place.

/
sion Thursday night Of last week and
discussed the matter of uniting the
Fish lake district with Independent
district No. 2, and also the proposi-
ton Of adding the twelfth year to the
high school course. Another teach
er was elected, making seven whose
applications to teach next year have
been accepted by the board. Several
vacancies remain yet to be filled but
it is not likely that there will be any
increase in the teaching force for the
next term.
If the twelfth year is added. max
ing the high school course complete,
an effort is to be made to unite two
Of the grades in the graded school
and have the teacher thus relieved
work partly with high school classes.
In this manner it is thought that the
twelfth grade can be added without
employing an extra teacher. Super
intendent Spoerry was left to work
out the plan whereby this might be
done.
There seems to be little doubt that
the twelfth grade will be added as it
is much needed and is necessary, as
the diploma given at its completion
is the definite aim of the student S
school life and tends to hold the
student in high school until the end
instead of dropping out or going to
some other school where there is a
twelfth grade and where the ambition
| to secure diploma may be realized.
A petition was submitted by Miss
Wiley, one of the teachers of the
high school, from the students eligi-
+; BILE for the twelfth grade who would
| take it if it is added.
| In the discussion Of the PROPOSE
ton Of bringing about a union Of the
Fish lake and Rathdrum districts it
was pointed out that while it would
increase the enrolment here, the ex-
pense would not be increased, for,
while the same number of teachers
would be employed here as at pre-
sent, the services of the teacher at
Fish lake would be dispensed with.
The chief objects of the union would
be to enlarge the attendance here,
insure the success of the complete
high school course, and afford the
pupils of the Fish lake district ad.
vantages OF thorough grade and
high school education which they dc
not now enjoy. 1t is thought some
satisfactory means could be devised
whereby the pupils could be convey.
ed to and from school. The matter
of uniting the districts would have tc
be considered by the county com
misioners at one Of their regular
meetings.
