DEATH OF MRS. D. j. MURRAY.

Last Wednesday morning, June Is,
1910, at 5 O'Clock, Mrs. D. J. Murray
passed away at her home in Wausau
after an illness of only few days.
The first indication that she was at
all i'll was on Friday evening. When
Mr.. Murray arrived home he found
her reading, but not feeling very well.
To his earnest inquiries she replied
that she only felt little chilly. On
Saturday morning she seemed TO have
severe cold and the family physi-
clan was called who pronounced her
illness pneumonia. 1t developed into
double pneumonia, and her condition
grew steadily worse and on Monday
and Tuesday it was evident that the
end was approaching. Those of the
children residing outside of the city
were called home, and all, with the
exception of Mrs. w. d. Blair, of
Rochester, n. Y, were at the bed
side of their mother during the last
hours of her life.
Mrs. Murray had been a resident of,
Wausau for thirty-five years and from
the very outset made lasting friends
of all with whom she became ac-
Quainted. She ever displayed that
unselfsh and sympathetic kindness
which endeared her to all, and her
death is sincerely mourned through
out the city. The memory of the
life spent among us is dear not only
to the immediate family circle but to
the friends and associates who have
drawn closer from year to year. Her
life, principally, was one of devotion
to the home circle but she found
time to enter into charitable and
church work and she was sincere
and most faithful member of the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
this city.
Mrs. Murray's maiden name was
Ellen Ruth Van Alystine. She was
born in Canada on March 9th, 1849,
and came to the United States to
live when young girl and located at
Point Douglas, Mimi, and where in
1870 she vas united in marriage to D.
J. Murray. Mr.. Murray was in bust
ness in Marinette at that time and
they went there to make their home.
In 1875 they came to Wausau to re-
side, and Mr.. Murray has since that
time built up one of the largest
foundries and machine shops in the
north.
There are left to mourn her death,
besides her husband, five children
Mrs Chas. f. Aaron, Donald j. and
Miss Bel, of Wausau; Mrs. w. d.
Blair, Rochester, n. Y, and Mrs. T.
H. Ryan of Merrill.
The funeral ceremonies were held
from the home on Friday morning at
10 O'Clock, the Rev. F. H. Brigham,
pastor of the First NJ. E. church,
officiating.
All about were beautiful flowers
the pure white lily, the fragrant rose
and dainty carnation-fond tributes
of loving friends. The D. J. Murray
Manufacturing company's extensive
machine shops were closed during the
day as token of respect to Mrs.
Murray's memory and the employees
marched in body to her last resting
place in Pine Grove cemetery.
The pail bearers were old friends of
the family, viz: HI. G. Flieth, Walter
Alexander, Benjamin Heinemann, +.
G. Boyce, John Manser and j. d.
Ehrman.
Those present at the services from
away were Mr.. aud Mrs. W. d. Blair
of Rochester, N. Y; Mr.. and Mrs. T.
H. Ryan of Merrill; George Van Alys-
tine, brother of deceased, of Hastings,
Mimi, and Mrs. James Johnson, an old
time friend of Hudson, Wis.

BLOW Up BANK; ROB;
BANDITS IN HOT FIGHT
BrigaEds Destroy Building at Coal
City, ILL.,, by Nitroglycerin
Charge
ESCAPE WITH $4,000 BOOTY.
Later Three Men Are Captured, All
Wounded, After Exciting Chase
and Battle in Brush.

Five daring bandits, a sheriff and
a large posse and town marshal fig
ured in a spectacular chase which re
suited in the capture Of three men fol-
lowing an explosion of nitroglycerin
which destroyed the bank at Coal City,
Ill, aroused the entire town and net
ted the burglars almost $4,000 in
money and stamps. The bandits en-
tered the town on passing freight
train and began operations by tying
Barney Ghetto, the night Waterman,
and Washington Erie, the night engi-
neer of the electrical plant.
They then blew up the bank building
with terrific charge of nitroglycerin
and leaped on weSt-bound Santa Fe
freight train with their plumber. Three
hours later three men, believed to be
of their number, had been captured by
Sheriff Thomas Steele of Morrison, H.,
who had been notified by the night
Waterman after the latter had broken
loose the ropes which held him and
made possible the organization of the
posse.
Just as the train carrying the five
bandits pulled out of the town Ghetto
succeeded in cutting his bonds and
rushed to telephone The sheriff at
Morris was notified and the posse was
organized. Several automobiles were
pressed into service and the pursuit
began. There is road following the
right of way of the Santa Fe tracks
between Norris and Verona and along
this the chase took place. For time
the members of the posse in their
machines sped directly alongside the

Wisconsin,.

While on the face of the early re-
turns neither the liquor people nor the
drys had much to boast of, neither
gaining any considerable new ground,
the drys carried the fight into new ter
ritory and into large cities, compelling
the vets to put up strong fights to hold
their own. In Milwaukee Social Dem
ocrats made a clean sweep and elected
Emil Seidel Mayor by plurality of
more than 5000, seven Aldermen-at-
large and carried fourteen wards The
Socialists will control the city for the
next two years. Seidel's plurality is
the largest of any party in a similar
contest in the history of the city. The
feature of the campaign this spring
was that the platforms of the three
parties were essentially the same, the
Democratic and the Republican parties
espousing Social Democratic princi-
pies like the referendum, the initia-
tive, the recall and home rule for Mil
Waukee, all four of which were first
espoused by the Socialists, at which
time they were derided by the other
parties.

VOTES TWO BATTLE SHIPS.
House, by 1e2 to 10, Orders War
Craft to Cost 100000 Each.

House, by 1872 to 10, Orders War
Graft to Cost 100000 Each
The naval appropriation bill carry
ing S128,037,6 and providing for two
battleships was passed by the National
House of Representatives the other
day by the decisive vote of 1872 to 10.
The ships are to cost $6,000,000 each.
Thirty-three Democrats voted for the
two battleships and twenty-four Re
publicans against the proposition. In
addition to the battleships the bill also
provides for the construction of two
feet GOLFERS and four submarine
boats. AS amended on motion of Mr.
Fitzgerald Of New York, the two bat
tleships and two fleet GOLFERS must be
constructed by firms operating under
the eight-hour law
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor of authorizing two
battleships Mr.. Tawney of Mime
sofa, chairman of the appropriations
committee, offered an amendment pro-
viding for only one battleship, while
Mr. Hobson proposed an amendment
providing for three. Mr. Hobson con-
tended that three battleships would
give no increase, but would provide
only for the ordinary depreciation IN
the naval force. By an almost unani-
nous vote the House rejected this
proposition.

HALEY COMET DRAWING NEAR
Earth viii Pass Through Tail of
Traveller on Nav 10.

Halley's comet, coming toward the
earth's orbit at a rate of nearly 2,500,-
000 miles a day, is rapidly approach
ing tie point where it will be observ-
able in the sky again, reappearing
from behind the sun where it had
been obscured since March %. On
account of its position to the right of
the sun the comet will soon be Wis

the desire to arise before the sun

billfant spectacle in the skies of dawn.
On the goth of April Halley's comet
will be at its nearest point to the
sun and will therefore be at its bright
est, as its brilliancy corresponds with
its nearness to the sun. But since
the comet keeps coming closer to the
earth until May is, it will seem more
brilliant to US after that date, when
it viii be visible in the evening sky.
On the 18th of May the earth will pass
through the tail of Halley's comet.
What will happen in that case? The
comet itself will be 100000 miles
from US, the nearest approach of any
heavenly body to the earth except the
asteroid Eros.
Prof. Edwin Brant Frost, director
of Yerkes observatory, has already de
termined by means of the spectre
scope that the comets tail has cyano-
gen gas as it predominant element.
This discovery has led to the theory
that the earth will be devasted by the
poisonous vapors of the gas, a theory
d1scredited by Professors Frost and
Barnard because of the exceedingly
rarified atmosphere of the comets tail.
They point out that the earth passed
through a comets tail in 1861. and
that no one observed anything I'M

Although the principal astronomers
of the world deprecate any idea of dis

earth through the comets tail. others,

of the planet with the luminous tail

NEW YORK.

Trade and crop reports still betray
irregularity. In the northwest, OH the
Pacific coast and in Texas where
needed rains have fallen, trade and
crop reports are alike good In the
southwest, the central west, parts of
the south and on the upper Atlantic
coast there is conservatism in buying
verging upon caution, and there is
more evidence of the repression exer-
cised upon trade movements by crop
uncertainty or because of the high
level of prices discouraging buying ex-
cept for absolute current needs. Job
bling and wholesale trade, except in
the sections favorably situated men
toned above, has been rather quiet.

RUINED BROKERS KILL SELVES.

Losses of Nearly 100000 Cause a
Carefully Planned Double Suicide.
Financial losses incurred in a part
nership brokerage business are be-
Eeved to have caused the double sui
eide of Nels and c. w. Olsen, brothers,
whose bodies were found on the bank
of the Missouri river three miles east
of Kansas City. The deaths, it ap-
pears, were planned deliberately. Jan.
%, following a series of reverses on
the Board of Trade, the brothers left
their apartment house in Kansas City
and have not been seen alive since.
After their departure relatives said
the men had announced they had lost
alP' and intended to kill themselves.
Rumors had it the losses amounted to
between $4,000 and 100000. The po-
lice were notified of the threats the
brothers were said to have made
against their lives. Search was insti-
tuted, but no trace of them was found.
Two fishermen came upon the bodies
the other day. They appeared to have
been dead for several weeks.

Of Illinois where the saloon question

strongholds Of Rockford, Decatur, De

Shelbyville and long list of other
local option towns the anti-saloon
forces were routed. IN the saloon
towns where the "drys'' made their

the day, in many cases by larger ma

ago. The most important victories
gained by the "drys" were at Mon
mouth and Canton, where the saloons
were voted out In the light of the
election returns, Illinois plainly has
reversed itself on the saloon question
since two years ago. In all parts of
the State the pendulum swing from
the dry to the wet sentiment has made
itself manifest.

TELL OF SAYLER KILLING.
Witnesses Swear DR.. Miller Shot
When Attacked with Hatchet

Witnesses Swear DR.. Miller Shot
When Attacked with Hatchet.
John c. Grunden, "sQuaw man from
the Chickasaw nation and co-defendant
in the John B. Sayler murder trial in
Watseka, Ill, with his daughter, Say
ler's widow, and her alleged affinity
Dr.. William r. Miller, surprised the
prosecution by taking the witness
stand. The version OF what occurred
as related by Grunden differed in no
essential from the story of Mrs. Sayler
or from that of DR.. Miller. He de-
clared Sayler attacked DR.. Miller with
a Ratchet, threatening to kill the ply
sician, and that the latter shot the
banker in self-defense.
He came at me like a mailman,
brandishing a hand-ax. I shot in self
defense" In these words DR.. w. r.
Miller told his version of the killing
In brief, the witness said that Sayler,
who had refused to join the three de-
PENDANTS in game of cards, rushed
into the little parlor, seized hand-ax
from beneath a couch, struck at him,
overturned the lamp, and then in dark
ness grappled in death struggle
which ended only when four bullets
had pierced the attackers frame. Not
a hint was given by the witness of the
motive which prompted what he said
was a savage attack on him.
Mrs. Lucy Sayler also took the wit
ness stand in defense of herself and
her co-defendants, DR.. w. R. Miller and
John Grunden. Revelations concerning
the financial straits of her husband
were made by Mrs. Sayler. She recited
the details of the night of the shoot
ing, but insisted that she had left the
rooms and gone across the street be-
fore any shots were fired.

Nebraska.

Practically the only issue in the
Nebraska municipal elections was the
question of saloon license, and returns
from fifty towns and villages in east
ern and central sections of the state
show no marked change from a year
ago, the advantage, if anything, being
slightly with the "wets" The notable
victory for the dry" element was the
capture Of Havelock, the Burlington
railroad shop town, outside of Lincoln
city limits, which voted against IL
cense by SO majority. Havelock the
past year has been the source of sup
ply for Lincoln. Offsetting the dry"
victory at Havelock is the return of
Beatrice to license after a year with
out saloons. The "drys" retain Te-
cumseh, where another bitter fight
was waged. Most of the larger towns
aside from Beatrice voted for license.
