MIDWIFE ARRESTED.

Upon complaint of Coroner E.
SchulZe, a warrant was served yester-
day on Mrs. Mary Balassa, charging
her with using methods prohibited by
law in the practice of midwifery. The
complaint followed an investigation
into the birth and death of child
born Thursday to Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Wisniewski, who reside on Williams
street. The investigation, which was
made by the coroner following a re-
fusal of the health officer to issue a
burial permit, showed several things,
it is said. 1t proved, 50 we are in
formed, that not only had certain
drugs been used, contrary to law, but
there were evidences that a certain
instrument, which midwives are pro-
hibited from using, had been resorted
to.
Mrs. Balassa was brought before
Justice r. n. Larner and her ex-
amine tion was set for March 6.
Matters along this line have been
rather quiet since Caroline Oils left
town.

work and by their fast passing and
shooting won out in the second half

CONRAD SEM.

One by one the old settlers are pass
ing to their final resting place, and
the names of those who were aSSoci-
ated with the growth of this city and
county will soon be but a memory.
The last one to close his eyes on
earthly scenes was Conrad Seim, who
passed away last Sunday afternoon at
his home, 307 Division alley. He had
been i'll for about three months, his
ailment resulting from general
break down incident to old age. He
breathed his last at l:30 p. M. on the
day above mentioned.
Conrad Seim was born in Kleinfelda,
province of Darmstadt, Ger, March Z,
1888, and had he lived until next Tues
day would have been seventy-three
years of age. At the age of eighteen
years he left his native land alone
and came to this country, settling in
Cincinnati, O. He resided there six
years and then came to Wausau, and
this city had been his home for the
past forty-nine years. He worked
mostly at out door employment, and
consequently was man of rugged
health. At one time he operated a
farm near Wausau, but most of the
time he was employed in the city.
Like most of the men living in
Wausau in an early day he was
member of the volunteer fire depart
ment.
Mr.. Seim was well known among
the early residents of this city. He
was a genial, whole-souled gentleman
who made fast friends with everyone
whom he met. The latter years of
his life h9 spent in ease, after long
years of toll, and spent much of his
time in company with little coterie
of friends of about his own age, and
hardly day passed but what these
old gentlemen could be seen together,
conversing on topics incident to early
day life in WauSau.
Mr.. Seim was married at an early
age and was the father of seven
children, only two Of whom are now
living. His wife survives him. The
living children are John, now residing
in Livingston, Mont. and Mrs. Frank
Christian of this city. The son has
started on his way east and will be
here to attend his fathers funeral.
He also leaves one brother, Henry
Seim ST., residing in this city. He
had two brothers and one sister living
ing in Germany, but as the relatives
here have not heard from them in
years, it is not known whether or not
they are still living.
The funeral services will be held
in st. Stephens church Thursday af-
ternoon, the pail bearers to be selected
from among old friends of the family.
Deceased was a member of the ID. q.
X. U. v, and that society will at
tend in a body.

STRICKEN WITH PARAL YSIS.

Early the past week S. S. Arm
strong, one Of our oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens, was stricken
with paralysis, his right side being
rendered helpless. During the alb
sence of II. J. Evans, Mr.. and Mrs.
Armstrong went TO the home to be
with Mrs. Evans their daughter I'M
til the return of her husband, there
fore Mr.. Armstrong was at the Evans
home when stricken. His condition
was serious for several days, and his
daughters, Mrs. A. L. Drown Of New
London, Mrs. Robert Kerr of Pitts
burgh, and Miss Gertrude of Milwau-
kee, were called home. During the
past few days Mr.. Armstrong has inn
proved and is now able 10 use his
right side little and his family and
relatives feel greatly encouraged. His
hosts of old time friends hope that
his illness will not be permanent and
that he will soon be able TO be about
again.

IDENTIFIED SON.

Samuel p. Justus of st. Joseph,
Mo-, was in the city yesterday for the
purpose of seeking legal advice and
securing proofs Of death of his son
Sheridan M. Justus, that ne might
collect life insurance.
Our readers will probably remember
that on the morning following the
exhibition of the Ringing Bros cir
Gus in this city Aug. 20 last, the body
of a young man was found near Most
nee. The mans appearance denoted
that he was circus attache, but
there was nothing on his person by
which identification could be eStab-
lished. The accepted fact was that
he fell off one of the circus trains
during the night, and though the
circus was wired of the find, answer
came back that so far as known none
of the employees were missing. The
young man had been beheaded, his
arms and legs were cut off and he
was otherwise mutilated. He was
buried at county expense, and no
further effort, SO far as we are able to
learn, was made to locate relatives.
Samuel Justus, an insurance agent
residing in st. Joseph, Mo-, had a son
who left home last summer, and, as
he afterwards learned, joined the
Ringing circus when it showed in
st. Louis a short time before coming
here. When tive boy did not return
at the close of the circus season, and
no word of him could be obtained
his father became anxious and began
advertising for him in newspapers.
The result was that MoSinee lady
recently saw one of the advertise
ments and communicated with the
father informing him of the death in
Mosinee last August, and the father
arrived in that village last week.
Last Saturday he caused the remains
of the circus employe to be diSlnterred
and identified them as those of his
lost son.
He purchased a metallic casket and
will remove the remains toSt Joseph,
Mo-, for burial. He also came TO this
city to make arrangements for re-im-
bursting the county for the expense it
had been to, in burying the young
| man.
The boy was seventeen years OF
age, and carried three policies of life
| insurance in a company which is
represented here. The father expects
to start for home with the remains
| tomorrow.
There are some features connected
with this case, not stated here, which
will probably be given TO the public
later. after certain developments.
