OLD RESIDENT rIES
Mrs. Anton Dern Closes Her Eyes Up
on Earthly Scenes.

After being confined co her bed for
about two months, Mrs. Anton Dern
passed into eternal sleep on Sunday
last. The end came at about the
hour of $50 in the morning, and was
not unexpected. She had been a
sufferer from asthma for the past
eight years, and of late years had
been confined to the house much of
the time.
Deceased was born in Germany Dec.
3, 1S49, and her death came just one
day after her sixty-first birthday.
She came to this country with her
parents when she was five years of
age. The family settled at Cambria,
Columbia county, where deceased
spent much of her life. She was mar
ried there at an early age to Geo.
Forcey, who died in 1875. She came
to Wausau in 1882 and five years later
was married to Anton Dern.
In 1889 Mr.. and Mrs. Dern took
charge of the Northern hotel, which
previously Mr.. Dern had leased to
other parties. They continued to
operate the hotel until about two
years ago, when on account of the
falling health of Mrs. Dern, and
her husbands advancing years, they
retired.
While Mrs. Dern was able to she
gave all of her time to the direction
of affairs of the hotel, and much of
its successful operation is due to her
efforts.
She was noble woman in all that
the name implies, and her purpose in
life appeared to be to serve her hus-
band as a loving wife, to rear her
family up to standard of right liv-
ing, and to practice the golden rule
in her dealings with all people. Her
death causes a gap in the family
which can never be filed, and those
who have made their home at the
Northern for so many years feel the
sadness of her loss almost as much as
do the family.
Besides her husband she is survived
by seven children: Miss Lizzie Forcey,
George Forcey, Mrs. Maggie Hull and
Walter, Myrtle, Regina and Arthur
Dern.
Funeral services will be held at the
home on Jackson street ut 1:30 Thurs
day afternoon, and at St. Paul's
church at 200 o'clock, the services TO
be conducted by Rev. E. G. Grauer

WHAT A CRITIC SAYS.

To the general public and the stu
dent OF music, the lecture-recital has
taken its place as a necessity to an
understanding of the operas as pre-
sented lin Chicago, New York and
Boston. Those who have listened to
grand opera, having had no prepare
ton in the way of study of either the
text in the music are usually willing
to confess that they got nothing out
of it.
1t is with this thought in mind that
the Tuesday Musical club has secured
Miss Anna Shaw Faulkner, one of the
best lecturers in the field of art today,
one who has prepared Chicago and
New York audiences with an insight
into the mysteries of Wagner music
dramas-and the new operas by Debussy,
Strauss, ETC., to help those who are
DESTROYS of better understanding of
mueic as we'll as those who insist they
are too old or too dumb to learn to en-
JOY classical music-to those Miss
Faulkner comes in simple, natural
manner that appeals to the popular"
as well as to the technical audience.
Glen billiard Gum the musical critic
on the Chicago Tribune has this to
say of one of the lectures:
miss Faulkner handled her subject
with delightful informality. She en-
livened it with historical anecdote
and she made it entertaining every
moment. The result was an audience
that stayed until long past the hour
at which concerts and lectures usually
adjourn, exhibiting every evidence of
enjoyment and approval, and evidently
acquiring closer acquaintance with
the subject in hand"

GOOD CONCERT COMING.

James Abercrombie, formerly of Wau-

eral numbers, pleasing addition to
the program.
Mrs. Abercrombie will be well re-
membered by Wausau people as one
favored with well modulated voice
and as an enthusiastic member of the
Tuesday Musical club while resident
in this city. She has, for some time
past, been studying in the East and
has attained considerable popularity
in Philadelphia and New York. The
coming concert is to be her last
appearance in Wisconsin before begin
ming an engagement in Philadelphia,
after which she will sail for Europe
for the year.

Modification acti on by council would complicate, be unconstitutional and void and have to be undone. The plain course to pursue is that provided by law for just such emergency as this. Council has no power to alter decreed charter, it would estab- fish precedent and errors, by ex- ample, creep into countenance.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR
 ANCE OF P. SWARTZ

"Where is Peter Swartz7" seems to puzzle the local officers of the law. as we'll as several. of the Santa Fe employees in this city and at the Grand Canyon. He has not been seen or heard of since Nov. 1. He was an engine hostler for the Santa Fe at the Canyon. This position he had held for several years.
 On Nov. 1, of last year he took a two weeks vacation and was given a round trip pass to Los Angeles. On Monday night, Nov. MT. Swartz came down to Williams on the regular train from the Canyon. It was the last seen or heard of him. He had made date to meet Engineer Lumsden of the Canyon day run at the local depot as soon as MT. Lumsden came down with his train from the Canyon on Tues day. Nov. 2 On the same day he had planned to take train No. 1 on this day for Los Angeles. Mir Lumsden was unablc to locate him but thought nothing more of it thinking that he had probably taken the night train out. Nothing more was thought of the man until sometime ago when two Santa Fe pay checks amounting to more thar hundred dollars for Swartz were returned as unclaimed by the Sants Fe agent at the Canyon to the heae office.
 Inquiry was sent to the passen ger department of the coast lines t' ascertain if the pass had been turn ed in. The pass has not showed up there.
 Fears are being entertained tha Swartz met with foul play or els lost his mind and wondered int the mountain, where he probabl has starved to death. Marshal ( s. Patterson says that everythin

Bass Contracts to Sell Mines

w. w. Bass, the Grand Canyon mining man, said to THE NEWS that although much of the report of his mine deal was overdrawn as to who the purchasing parties are, it is nevertheless true that he has made contract for the sale of an interest in some of his properties in the Canyon. MT. Bass will remain ln the management of the mines and will commence operations at once.
 The consummatiop of the sale has been retarded by the scheme to to make a national park out of the entire region in order to shut of all further development, but it is now probable that an investigation of the mineral resources will be had under Government supervision be. fore such action will be taken.
 The terms of the sale will be made known later. It will, nc doubt, result in the development oi large body of asbestos and copper in the near future that will add greatly to Arizona's output of minerals.
 Prof. l.. F. Noble of the Geologi. cal Survey, is now engaged in per fectlng a. map of the area that will add materially to the Knowledge ol this ciistrict as a mineral zone.
