MRS. WILSON DEAD.

We learn that Mrs. W. w. Wilson
recently died at her home in Cedar
Rapids, Ia. We have, up to this time,
been unable to learn any of the par
ticulars. DIR. and Mrs. Wilson and
family came to this city in 1890 and
settled, the doctor practicing medi-
cine. The family belonged to the
Baptist church and its members were
Unidentified with much of the work of
that church, social and otherwise.
The doctor and his family moved away
from here about ten years ago, and
since that time have been living in
Iowa. The family have many friends
in Wausau who extend to them SYM
pathy in their bereavement.

SCARLET FEVER.

Since our last issue only one case of
scarlet fever has been reported, and it
looks now as if the disease has run
its course for the present. The
doctors report that most of the peo-
pie under quarantine have recovered
or nearly so, but owing to quarantine
regulations must be keep indoors I'M
til all danger of contagion has passed.
However, it is reported that some
children who have been quarantined,
and from whose homes the quarantine
has not been lifted, are daily playing
out in the streets with other children.
AT present few homes are under
quarantine, and the number is dimin-
ishing weekly. Teachers in the pub
lie schools are still exercising the
same watchfulness over children that
they have done. and when any child
complains of not feeling well that
child is Immediately sent home. We
hope we won't be forced to chronicle
any more cases.

BROKE THE LAW.

Three boys and second hand dealer
were arrested today, on complaint of
one of our residents. 1t is alleged
that the boys broke into barn situ-
ated on the old Phil. Douyille property
on Washington street, and stole some
sacks of old rubbers, iron, etc, which
they sold to Leopold Kreider. There
is new state law which forbids a
second hand dealer from buying any
thing of minor. The law is aimed
to- discourage youths from stealing
articles and selling them. Mr.. Kreider
was.evidently ignorant of the law and
instead of driving bargain as he sup
posed, he got himself into trouble.
The case was brought into municipal
court this afternoon, the fathers OF
the boys engaging attorneys for their
defense

is VERY WEALTHY.

Believing that he is wallowing In
all the wealth of modern Croesus,
Henry Bernitt, a resident of the town
of Norrie was arrested and brought
to this city for mental examination.
He was brought into county court
this morning and committed to the
Mendoza hospital. Bernitt is young
man, but according to his delusive
stories he has seen more of life and
gone through more strange experiences
than anyone yet heard of. His hobby
is that he is possessed of fabulous
wealth. He says that a number of
millionaires in Chicago "chipped to-
gether," as he puts it, and bought him
red automobile with his name paint
ed on it in gold letters. John d.
Rockefeller is his intimate friend,
and lately presented him with $50, 900.
He will talk for hours at time on
plans of making investments OF money

DEATHS HAND.
hart is Saddened by the Death
Of Their Daughter.

That Death loves shining mark
was again illustrated Easter Sunday
morning, when the news of Miss
Louise Gearhart's death was made
known to our citizens. The news of
her death has cast a gloom over many
home, and the saddened expressions
of sympathy of all friends of the fam
lily go forth to the parents of this es-
Unable young lady. Miss Gearhart
was taken i'll with typhoid fever
about four weeks ago, while she was
attending the state normal school
situated in the city of Milwaukee.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Gearhart
went to Milwaukee, and finding her
daughter very i'll, at her solicitation,
brought her to Wausau, engaging a
trained nurse in Milwaukee who ac-
companied them home. Nothing was
left undone to minister to her needs
in an effort to restore her to health,
but though she made valient fight,
her efforts were fruitless and she
passed away at 1910 o'clock on the
morning above mentioned. Her death
is doubly sad because of the fact that
she was the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. V. Gearhart.
Deceased was born in this city Feb.
10, 1888. She was graduated from the
high school of this city in 1907 and
after teaching the following year in
the kindergarten of one of our city
schools, took up teaching elsewhere
and then entered the state normal
school in Milwaukee to complete her
education. She was ambitious and
DESTROYS of securing good education,
and her determination was to win.
She was a young lady of culture and
refinement, and her disposition was
one to admire. She was blessed with
those qualities which go toward
frightening other lives and which
caused her to be beloved by all who
knew her, and all acquaintance,
young or old, manifested an admira-
tion for her.
She was member of the Universal
list church and an earnest worker,
ever ready to help in all that was
good and uplifting.
Miss Gearhart is survived by her
parents and one brother, Mark, and
many warm friends to mourn her
loss, who seek consolation in the
Eastertide legend, 81 know my Re-
deemer liveth"
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at two o'clock from the
family residence, $40 Warren street.
In the absence of Rev. T. B. T.
Fisher, pastor of the Universalist
church, Neil Campbell, near neigh
Dor of the family for years, will con-
duct the services. The pail bearers
will be Mark Scholfield, Hugh Camp
bell, Sol. Heinemann, Ralph German,
Mack Alexander and Ed. Brands
Friends of the family from out of
the city who will attend the funeral
are: Mrs. Edward Barry of ST. Paul;
Mrs. Stewart Neglee of Minneapolis;
Mrs. Phoebe Barnum and daughter
Miss Barnum of Lake Shishebogema:
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Barnum of Gin

Geo. Fay of Milwaukee, who pitched
part of the season for Wausau in
1905, has been spending few days in
the city visiting friends,
President John Elliott of the-M.-W.
league is making an endeavor to work
up great enthusiasm in each city on
the opening day. His plan is to have
brass band parade participated in
by the opposing teams in uniform,
officers of the club, city officials,
prominent citizens in carriages and
fans in automobiles and on foot. He
plans to make it half holiday with
business places closed. He hopes in
this way to impress on the people the
Importance of the game and thus
pave the way for a good attendance
the remainder of the season. Some of
the cities have already taken the mat
ter up, and it is expected that before
the opening day, May IL, all of the
clubs will have some such arrange
nclt pldiln6u.
Red Wing and Rochester, getting
late start, have been a little slow in
signing up men, but will have quite
number of players to select teams
from by the opening of the season.
1t is expected that the league sched-
uie will be ready for publication
within a few days. Except for few
minor changes, all of the league di-
rectors have given their approval of
it. In drawing up the schedule the
aim has been to divide the mileage as
evenly as possible and distribute the
holiday dates equitably.
During the past week three new
mems names have been added to the
list from which Manager Bond will
select team. These are Lester
Ruedig, shortstop who played last
year on the Watertown team in the
Milwaukee city league; Frank Nelson,
a pitcher of St. Paul, and w. II.
Kerns, shortstop of Chicago. The
latter was recommended by Pitcher
Lakoff. This makes thirty men I'M
der contract at present, with several
of the old men holding back.
Manager Bond has written the club
officers that lie will be here about
April 10 and will order the players to
report ten days later. After some
preliminary practice, during which he
will weed out a lot of material, he
will go to Oshkosh for two games.
He will play the Indians April 1920.
The two following days he will play
the Fond du Lac team. The Cuban
Stars of Havana, composed entirely
of Cubans, has written for dates, Civ
ing our team the choice of three.
Secretary Robt. Hochtritt has wired
the manager to the effect that the
team could come here May 7. An
effort will also be made to get game
with some team to be played here on
the 10th, the day before the opening
of the season.
A number of business men have
voluntarily donated sums of money
toward financing the club.
