The public property committee last
week placed sign, "For Sale" on
the band stand in the county square.
This aroused the ire of a number of
people and brought forth the follow
ing petition, framed by some of our
residents, and which has been placed
with a number of our merchants for
signatures, and is being signed gener-
ally:
To the Public Property Committee of
the County Board:
The petitioners, residents and tax
payers of Marathon county, do
respectfully request that you defer
action on the resolution passed by the
county board, requiring the removal
of the band stand on the court house
square, until the next meeting of the
board, with the view of having said
resolution reconsidered.
Because of its location we believe
the urt house square should be for
the Use of the general public, and
would respectfully request that the
people be given free use of same, un-
restricted by keep off the Grass"
signs or other prohibitory regulations.
The committee, we learn, offered
the building for sale for this reason:
Every time band concert is held on
the square the lawn is Uttered with
pop corn bags, peanut shells, etc,
the grass is tramped down and the
shrubbery injured. There is really
no other convenient place on the east
side for giving the concerts.

FOR THE DEAD.

f. H. Sieyert, contractor Of Bloom
vile, O., arrived in the city the past
week with several car loads of machin-
cry, apparatus and material, which
he will use in the construction of
Pine Grove mausoleum. He expects
to begin work at once, and to have
the structure completed by Feb. /,
1912. The construction of the build
ing will be superintended by A. Par
sons, a local architect. Plans for
building this structure have been un-
der way for at least a year. 1t was
something new to our people and re-
quired time. 1t is being financed and
carried out by home people entirely.
1t will be the first of its kind to be
erected in Wisconsin-another in
stance of Wausau's progressiveness.
Mr.. Sieyert, the contractor, has just
completed a similar building in
Springfield, H., close to the Lincoln
monument, and is an experienced
man in this line of work.
The Wausau mauseleum will be To-
Gated in the northeastern part OF
Pine Grove cemetery, facing the park
established in that part of the ceme-
terry, and is most desirable location.
The plans call for structure of tasty
design, built of Nonolithic reinforced
concrete, faced with Marathon county
granite and Bedford stone. Tie roof
will be of glazed tile. The interior
will be faced with polished marble,
and the floor will be of Mosaic design.
All exposed metal work will be of
bronze.
The structure will contain 296 In
dividual crypts and five compartments
for families Also chapel, approx
mately 20x36 feet in size, and two
corridors IL feet wide. The outside
dimensions of the building will be
6OxS1 feet. Pipes viii lead from each
crypt to receptacles which will con-
tain disinfectants that will destroy
any gases or other matter. Purchas-
ers of erypts create perpetual in
dowment fund, the interest OF which
is used for maintenance.

OLD SETTLER KILLED.

As John Seubert, a resident of the
town of Marathon, was walking along
the G. & N. w. Ry. Co.'s tracks from
his home to the village of Marathon
City Saturday morning, he found the
mutilated corpse of man. Mr.. Seu-
bert was on his way to the village to
catch a train for Wausau, and at a
point nearly two miles west of the
village he came upon the corpse,
which proved TO be that of Florian
Lemmer, one of the oldest residents
in that section. He was cut up SO as
to be almost unrecognizable. The
head was severed from the body and
the face terribly disigured. Both
legs and one arm were missing from
the trunk.
Mr.. Seubert went to Marathon and
notified relatives of the deceased of
his find and the body was cared for.
Mr.. Lemmer came to this county
about tifty-five years ago, and located

logging and sawmill business at
different periods in his life. He was
the father of large family of chill
dren, and the Lemmers are among
the best known people of that sec
tion.
Mr.. Lemmer did much of his trad
ing in Wausau, and had been here
the day of his death. Returning in
the afternoon, he spent some time in
the village, and started for home
after the shades of night had fallen.
He travelled the railroad track be-
cause it was a more direct route to
his home. Just why he did not see
or hear the approach of the train
which killed him, can only be sur
missed. 1t is possible that several
trains passed over him during the
night.

My heart yearns back TO Wausau
Where the old Wisconsin flows.
Adown the winding valley
Where tall the pine tree grows
see the pools and shadows
Where the depths reflect the steep,
Where at early even tide
Weird the shadows darkly creep.
'Crost the meadows 'gainst the sky.
Towers the dome of old Rib hill,
Where I'm rage the summer storms
And chain lightning scenes oft thrill.
The copse and clover meadows.
PictureSquely stretch between,
Where the dews and fogs lay spread
In the mornings silvery sheen.
Or at night the lowing herds
Slowly grazing down the trail,
Homeward peacefully wind their way
Midst the twilight of the vale.
Scenes all pleasant to recall
Where so oft I've roamed alone,
Or in sweet companionship
Have communed with flower end stone.
Friends are many to recall
In that dear old town so fair,
i see their smiling faces.
In my dreams I'm over there. F. d. ID.
