A GREAT FUR SALE u!

We bought at great reduction last week
from prominent fur merchant in New
York an immense stock of fur pieces and
fur garments AS the early part of the
season was so warm ladies did not feel
the need of furs, and since January LIST
the manufacturer did not get the recorders
as in former years, net result--a stock
that must be sold at once regardless of
cost. AS we are always receptive to an
opportunity like this we naturally could
not ''pass it up." Every fur piece, set
and garment are in perfect and maderight
and marked at the reduction as shown in
the regular selling price. We've sold furs
and fur-lined garments for years in con-
neCtion with cloth garments, but do not
recall as ever having such an excellent
line to offer at such great reductions.

DEATH OF CARL PAGENKOPF.

Last Wednesday, Nov. 9th, 1912, at
1910 p. M, Carl Pagenkopf, one of
Wausau's old and highly respected
citizens, died at st. Mary's hospital
after an illness of a short time. Mr..
Pagenkopf, when boy, was injured,
resulting in his leg being badly broken.
1t was not properly set and he had
been lame since that time though
able to get about without a cane up
to four years ago. At that time his
knee joint became diseased and he
was confined to his home for over
four months since then he had gotten
about with difficulty, finding it nec-
essary to use cane and also crutch.
Three weeks previous TO his death,
he accidentally hurt his lame leg,
This produced SO much pain that he
was taken TO ST. Mary's hospital
where he submitted to an operation.
This proved very successful, but ow-
ing to his age and condition the
shock brought on a stroke of paraly-
sis, rendering helpless his entire right
side, on Saturday, Nov. I'd, and from
that time he began to grow weaker
until the end came.
Mr.. Pagenkopf was torn in Kreis
Regenwalde Regeierung Bezirk, Stet-
tin, Province Pommern, Germany, on
the 11th day of Oct. 1874. He resided
in the old country until young man.
In Stargurth, Germany, on the 14th
of July 1865, he was united in mar
riage to Fredericke Callies. They
came to this country in 1868, stop
ping for few months in Milwaukee,
Wis, and then came on to Wausau
reaching here on the 4th of July 1865.
Mr.. Pagenkopf was tailor by trade
and he took position with Carl
opened a tailoring establishment of
his own which he conducted until
1874; he afterwards went into the
hotel business and finally retired from
business in 1906. He was one of
the oldest members of ST. PauPs con-
gregation, having united with the
church soon after coming to the city.
He had been a member of the board
of trustees of the church for many
years and was one at the time of his
death. He served our city on the
city council and for several years was
poor commissioner. He was a MEM
ber Of the Deutscher Kranken Inter
stuetzen Verein and Marathon Hahn
No. 90 Order of Druids.
There were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Pagenkopf eleven children, four of
whom survive, viz: Henry, Albert,
Otto and Berthold, also eight grand
children and two great grandchildren,
all Of whom reside In WauSau.
The funeral services took place
from St. Paul's church on Friday
afternoon at O'Clock, Rev. E. G.
Grauer officiating.

as store whose proprietor does not
advertise. The republicans had the
usual "holier-than-thou" look upon
their faces and it was not rubbed off
until the first jolt came about s.
O'Clock, when the bulletin wss thrown
upon the canvass announcing that
Woodrow Wilson had carried New
York state by $4,000. Then there
was panied expression upon each re-
publican face, which said plainly
that the ''rabble know not what 5hey
are doing"
Returns were received at the demo-
cratic and republican headquarters at
the Y. NJ. G. A. and Wausau club.
At the Y. they were thrown upon a
canvass arranged on building oppo-
site, and in the gymnasium. The
street was crowded with people and
the building was filled TO its utmost.
Coffee, sandwiches and doughnuts
were served there. 1t was along in the
morning before the lights were turned
|off and each sought his home.
There is one thing that can be said
about the election of i9l2, and it
seems TO have been universal, there
was no boiSterous buns making the
night hideous with their yells and
taunts; there were no marching bands
of horn blowers, but all was serene and
adignified silence prevailed, which was
so noticeable that il was the source
of much comment.
The democrats carried the county
by 1000 for the head of the ticket.
They would have carried it by a
much larger vote but for Roosevelt'S
candidacy; he polled nearly 200 votes
in the county. Karel carried the
county and city by nearly 500 votes.
A. j. Plowman, for congress carried
the county by about 500 but was
beaten in the district by t. E.
Browne of Waupaca. Others elected
on the democratic ticket were Oscar
Ringle for the assembly, second dis
trict, over Christie; J.. Schirpke over
Eggebrecht for county treasurer:
Abraham over Schroeder for sheriff;

FROM FLORIDA.

George w. Clark, formerly of this
city but who has been in Miami,
Fla, for year or more for his health,
writes that he is improving and is
doing cement work on contract down
there. He says, 'They are shipping
car load after car load of grape fruit
from here and have been since Oct.
1st. The crop of grape fruit, pine
apples and all other tropical fruits
has been very abundant this season.
Choppers are getting in their crops
for the winter and have been for
some time, though there is quite
to hold off some about
doing SO until the hurricane season is
over, and that time now has nearly
gone by, without any wind as it did
last year. Great preparations are be-
ing made for the annual crop of tour
lists here which is about to be raked
in. Each year sees a large increase
and now there are many here from
the north. This is great climate
and l would advise all affected with
rheumatism to try it at Miami.
When l came here / was in very
bad way 50 far as rheumatism is con-
cerned, now l am free of the trouble.
One of our old Wisconsin river pilots

NEAL BROWN AND M. c. EWING
VISIT MERRILL.

Neal Brown, president, and NJ. C.
Ewing, manager, of the Wausau
Street Railway company spent the
day in Merrill, arriving in Merrill in
the formers auto.
Speaking of the Trappe Rapids
power, Mr.. Brown remarked that the
company was still owner of the same
and that the power would probably be
developed in the near future. The
footing at that place is very good and
therefore should facilitate the work of
building dam at that place.
Regarding the Marathon Paper
Mills company at Rothschild, Mr..
Brown said that the building of the
addition to the Rothschild dam would
soon be completed. Mr.. Brown said
the Marathon Paper Mills company
was operating its plant to full capaci-
ty at present. The Wausau Street
Railway company, according to Mr..
Brown, was not contemplating any
immediate improvements and any in
crease in its stock.-Merrili Herald.

DEER SEASON.

On Sunday night at the solemn hour
of II, every deer in the north woods
was scampering to get out of reach of
the huntsman's rifle and, if the truth
were known many of the brave, mack
inaw-coated, red-capped ana shoe
packed hunters were quaking for
fear of being taken for a deer and
having their life snuffed out by a
bullet. Our nimrods start right in
on the hour and never let up until, at
least, each one of the camp has a
deer.
Only twenty days are allowed by
law in which to thus hunt deer in
Wisconsin and besides one cannot use
dogs or kill a deer in the water or on
the ice, nor use pits, pitfalls, traps
and snares, artificial lights, deer-licks,
nor can one hunt from an elevated
platform. Many hunting parties are
going out from Wausau.

Carries Nearly Every State in the Union
and Ecfpses All Victories in the
History of Our Nation.
Probably the End of the Republican Party -ReOrgani.
cation Must Follow, Perhaps Under
Another Name.

Last Tuesday was day of surprises
to the American people. They SIM
ply wiped the republican party out of
existence, for the party, as represent
ed by President Taft, secured only
eleven'votes in the electoral college,
which is practically annihilation.
The party will never win another
presidential election under it's old
principles. The party will have to be
reorganized and, perhaps, under
new name.
Wilson and Marshall have captured
great republican stronghoiIs never
before voting democratic in presi-
Dental election.
Theodore Roosevelt came in under
the wire second with such great states
as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kansas,
Washington, South Oak. and Mime
sofa in his favor. The Colonel is
very cheerful over his defeat, but in
Inmates that the fight has only just
commenced, and the fate of the lead
er for the time being is of little con-
sequence. He sent the following tel
egram to Woodrow Wilson:
"The American people by great
plurality have conferred upon you the
highest honor in their gift. con-
gratulate you thereon
President Taft takes matters phil
osophically and congratulated the
president-eIect as follows:
81 cordially congratulate you upon
your election and extend to you my
best wishes for successful admins
traitor n."
The complexion of the next house
of Representatives will be:
Democrats, 267.
Republicans, 80.
Progressives, s.
Districts unreported, 63,
Total membership, 435.
The foregoing shows the standing
of the house of representatives in the
Sixty-third new congress. The total
of 267 gave the Democrats forty-nine
more than the 218 necessary for a
majority and thirty-seven more than
the Democratic membership in the
Sixty-second congress.
