A SLEEP WALKER.

The identity of the corpse discov-
cred along side Of the st. Paul tracks
in the town Of Kronenwetter last
summer has been cleared up, accord
ing to the clipping published below.
Our readers are familiar with the
facts, as to how the young man was
killed on one of Ringing Bros circus
trains on the morning of Aug. u;
how Saml. p. JLstus of St. Joseph.
Mo-, came up here and identified the
corpse as that of his son Sheridan NJ.
and removed it to his home and how
later the son returned home in the
full flush Of health. 1t transpired
afterward that young of Dixon,
H., who had been travelling with the
circus could not be located and it
was thought he was the boy who was
killed in this county. His name was
Ross Habernick. OF recent discover
les in the case the Mosinee Times has
the following to say:
The body of Ross Habernick, who
was killed here last August by one of
the circus trains of the Ringing Bros,
and which was taken to St. Joseph,
Mo-, by Samuel p. Justus under the
impression that it was the body of
his own son, has now been fully iden-
titled and removed to Dixon, ILL.,,
where it has been laid away to rest
in the family lot.
A suspicion of foul play has been
entertained ever since the body was
first discovered upon the tracks here
last August, has at last been dispelled
and the true version of his death is
now thought by his relatives and
friends in Dixon to be due to the fact
that he was a somnambulist, and
that while in one of these spells he
walked out onto the car platform
and fell between the rails. The
Dixon Daily News of recent date has
the following to say:
zone of the things which has puZ-
Zled the authorities as to how the
young man met his death is explained
by the mother who states that Ross
was in the habit of walking in his
sleep and that up to few months
before he left home they experienced
nitliculty in keeping him in bed.
Company could be visiting in the
parlor and Ross would appear and
walk through the room and could be
led back to bed without his knowing
a thing about it.
sit is thought that being tired and
unused to sleeping on the train that
it is quite possible that he arose from
his berth and walked TO the platform
of the car. II no one happened to
notice him he could easily have
stepped off the platform and fallen
under the wheels"

WILL START SOON.

The posts for the ornamental lights
which are to be placed on Washing
ington street will be ordered in the
course of few days. The members
of the board of public works was of
the opinion at first that the best deal
could be made with the st. Paul con-
Germ which manufactured the posts
now on Third street. Since then con-
ferences have been held with local
manufacturers, with the result that
contract will liz al probability
be entered into with home people.
The board purposes to get the work
of laying the conduits and setting the
posts started as soon as the latter can
be delivered, which will probably be
within the next few weeks.

STILL A MYSTERY.

The Rhinelander News of last Fri
day reports that there has been no
solution of the mystery surrounding
the disappearance of Benjamin S.
Miller, the father of Judge Miller of
that city, and relatives and friends
are almost hopeless of finding him
still alive. Mr.. Miller disappeared
from home on April 25 and after that
afternoon no definite news has been
received of him, although rumors con-
tinued to come in which are without
tangible results when looked into.
Many people there know Mr.. Miller,
Sr., and aided in the search which
continued for several days, and Judge
Miller and family are keenly grateful,
appreciating the kindly feeling and
sympathy shown in this public inter
est. The reward of $50 does not
seem to have effect but hope will not
be given up.
Mr.. Miller's strange disappearance
in the above named city has excited
considerable apprehension in Wausau,
where he was well known and popular
with everybody. He has another son,
d. h. Miller, who resides here and at
whose home his father remained con-
siderable of the time during the past
few years. His daughter, Mrs. G. V.
Bardeen, of Madison, is in Europe,
little dreaming of the existing cir
cumstances. Mrs. Benz. S. Miller died
in this city Nov. 1899, since which
time Mr.. Miller has divided his time
with his children.

A REMEDY FOR SERIOUS
WOUNDS.

There is scarcely a aneighborhood that
has not its story of serious results
following the accidental sticking of a
rusty nail in the foot. Tetanus or lock-
jaw is often the result, a most horrible
death. An honest and able physician
tells an exchange of most valuable
liniment which he has found to be al
most specific for such wounds. While
not claiming that the liniment in every
case will prevent lockjaw, he declares
such cases would rarely occur if the
specific we're promptly applied. He tells
how he was called to see a boy suffer-
ing the greatest agony twenty-four
hours after the lad had stuck a rusty
nail in his foot. The foot was swollen
and the doctor, before applying the
liniment, opened the wound so that an
outlet was provided for the serum or
pus. He ordered the liniment to be
freshly applied every two hours until
the pain was relieved. Insix hours he
returned 10 see how che lad was pro-
crossing and found him free from pain
and out in the yard. That was the
end Of the trouble. The medicine is
good for any fresh wound on man or
beast. The following is the doctors
prescription: Two ounces of alcohol,
two ounces Of oil of origanum, and one
half ounce tincture of camphor. By
all means If you live in the country
far from doctors and drug stores, keep
bottle of it always on hand.

WHAT THEY WILL WEAR.

Editor Pilot
Going into the Bells House few
nights ago to get toothpick and
read the newspapers, to give the inn
preston that l am a regular patron
of the place, as many others do, /
overheard a conversation which liz
terested me. Two fiashy peddlers,
known to the profession as travelling
statesmen, were discussing spring
styles for men. These two fellows
looked as though:they were just out
of laundry, and were logged in the
glad rags sold by some Chicago haber-
dasher, which they termed style with
a capital S.
l listened to them awhile and then
came to the conclusion that fresh air
would do me more good than hot air,
and / wandered down the street to
Burlingame's cigar store, to look at
the base ball scores. However, their
conversation started an investigation
on our part, and next day we set out
to ascertain what the correct styles
for men are to be in Wausau this
spring. We visited several Third
street clothing firms and number of
tailors, and have collected the follow
ing information for Wausau's bloods,
who desire to he in the swim:
Shirt patterns will be on the square,
like checkerboard, i. e. they will have
squares on them in imitation of the
creosoted blocks which are to be laid
on Third street. Hope-you-choke
collars of the side board pattern will
be worn. For instance, a No. 16 neck
will require only No. Is collar.
Clothing will be light in color, laid
off in squares like Andrew Warren's
addition to the city. Coats will con-
form to waist, to show your shape
if you have any. Trousers will be
slightly narrower and worn short, to
show as much striped hose as decency
will permit. Panama hats, made in
New Jersey, will contine in favor,
providing we can prevail upon Geo.
Halder to get US a consignment of
straw hat weather. The pancake lid
will be eliminated this spring. Mems
hose will be perfect screams. They
will be boisterous and disorderly and
unless your sox beat the band for
nniSn NOT in IL Nnnlyfinc
ditto. A necktie that can't be heard
a mile and half won't get glance.
Shoulders will not be padded. The
summer squash shoulder is, happily,
thing af the past. There will be two
novelties in waistcoats this spring, to
be known as the ''soup" vest and the
these will be such that when soup or
stew are spilled OH them, it will not
be noticed. Clothing carpenters are
at work on an "egg" necktie, which
will soon be put on the market
Sharp toed shoes will be worn, so
that five toes will occupy the stall
of one. Tan color will prevail, for
the wearing of tan shoes gives man
an excuse for having dark brown
taste the morning following the night
before.
We would suggest that your male
readers ask for the 1911 kind" when
making their clothing purchases.
