N. ". CURRAN DIES
VERY SUDDENLY
Dropped Dead While Running His
Train in Montana Thurs.
day.

conveyed the sad intelligence of
the sudden death OF NJ. w. Cuman
at 1870 %. m, while RAINING his
train between White Sulphur
Spring ard Ringing, Montana.
Although particulars were lacking,
Mr.. Curran evidently died instant
" from heart failure, which was
no doubt caused by the high alti-
tude Of that country. The news
came rs a great shock to the peo-
Of this city, where the deceased
formerly resided and was well
known.
Mir. Curran was one Of the old
est conductors in point Of service
on the Puget Sound extension. He
He was for many years employed
in the train service On the South
ern Minnesota division of tie old
line, but when work was com
menced on the Puget Sound extern
sion, he, like many othets of the
more ambitious employees Of the
Old line, came wes' four years ago
last July and entered the employ
of the Puget Sound in construction
work. After thirgs became more
settled. Mrs Curran came to Mo-
bridge and they made their home
in this city until last summer.
During his residence in Mobridge
Mr.. Curran was employed as a
COIIuUiCloI ou tHc ttulS NllSsOuTl
division, working on the main line
until the completion of the Stand
ing Rock branch northwest Of Me-
Laughlin. He then took his rights
and ran a train on that branch un
ii. through coast train service was
established last may, when he was
entitled to a passenger train on the
main line. He entered this service
and continued in it until last Sep
TENDER, when he was transferred
to the west and for several months
past has been conductor on the
branch between Ringing and White
Sulphur Springs, making his home
at the latter place with his wife.
Mr.. Curran was about hfty-five
years of age and his wife is the
only member Of his immediate fam
lily left to mourn his sudden death.
The bereaved wife will pass through
Mobridge on No. 16 Sunday with
the remains, which will be taken
to GAINESVILLE, Wis, for burial.
In the death of Mr.. Curran an
other Of the pioneers of MObridge
has been taken away, and many
expressions Of regret have been
heard from his friends and fellow
workmen. He was one of those
conscientious, generous, whole
souled individuals who helped to
lay the foundation of Mobsidge,
figuratively speaking, and was a
universal favorite among the rail
road boys, the travelling public and
the people Of the community in
general, whose deepest and most
sincere sympathy is extended to
,.lrs. Curran in this hour Of her
sad bereavement.

More Light.

Fresh air enthusiasts are familiar
enough to most of us, but we hear
less of enthusiasm for light. Darken-
ed parlors, darkened bedrooms, dark
ened sickrooms are too common. Sir
B. w. Richardson, the eminent London
scientist and physician, declared that
when the professors OF healing en-
ter a sick-roor. their first words in
most cases ought to be Goethe's dying
exclamation: more light! More
aght!" The light of the sun is Gods
o. n microbe killer, germicide, disin-
'ectant, prophyLactic, sickness healer.
There is no physician, no chemical an
idate, no compounded prescription to
be compared with sunlight. Without
1t nature could not perform her func-
tons. Man, beast, bird, insect would
tall victims to the deadly gases that
would prevail The horrid mists and
deadly gases are dispersed and de-
composed by tie action of light. Let
it in, everywhsfe! Let the light in
Caore and more abundAatly. Faded
carpets are not as ritiful as faded
cheeks. Spoiled cushions are trivial
compared with spoiled health. Dark
aned rooms are too suggestive or

sentative, and t. Joseph Sullivan,
District Organizer for the University

offices and class rooms on the second
floor of the Gensman Block at PIT

go to the University, in so far as that
is possible. Courses of study offered
include electricity, mechanical, civil
and structural engineering; business
courses such as bookkeeping, cost ac-
counting, advertising, business man
agement, etc; English Language and
Literature, both elementary and adj
vanced, grammar, omposftio n,
English and American Literature,
etc. An engineering instructor will
be added to the local force in the near
future.

GOOD WORDS FOR WAUSAU

A gentleman, who makes this city
occasionally relieved himself about
like this at his last visit; / have
been travelling in another territory
the past six months, not of my own
accord, but because my people wanted
| should | have been put in this
territory and | am mighty glad to
get back into Gods country again.
/ find no better, more prosperous,
more beautiful city than Wausau in
all my travels. Wausau has all the ad-
vantages for large city, and there is
no reason why it should not be. You
have water power enough here and
vicinity to generate enough electricity
for factories to make this a city of
100000 people. Why people will so
south, west or up into Canada when
they have better opportunities right
here is beyond my comprehension.
Think of farmers, who can find MOTH
ing to compare with Narration county
lands, going south and vest where
there are poisonous reptiles; where
the neighborhood is no, to be COM
pared; where crops are an uncertain
ty; or up into frozen Canada. They
should be placed in charge of a
guardian. My advice is to stick right
in old Marathon where the opportuni-
ties for becoming prosperous is much
greater than anywhere in this country.
1t is a pleasure greater than l can
describe to get back among you.

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
PILOT THIRTY SEVEN YEARS AGO

tursd her civilization, rather than
was made captive" Unlike the gallant
Six Hundred the forests have been
friends rather than foes and from
them came the stores of wealth
which have builded her foundation
and. raised her imposing superstruc-
ture. Nature has been prodigal in
her gifts. The river flows and twists
anC winds about amid rocks and
islands till miniature archipelago is
formed and here is the formation of
the water power which is the corner
stone, if we may so write of her sue
cess. We could say much, but briefly,
we believe Wausau's destiny is to be
a glorious one; that it will become the
pride of the northwest and mark Of
Importance in the commercial history
of the state"
In Nov. 1874 B. G. Plumer, Charles
V. Bardeen and others, conceived the
idea of making greater Wausau."
Their plan was to form boom COM
pany with capital sufficient to build a
main store boom at and above Bates
island, that would hold hundreds of
millions of logs; and capable of sup
plying many large saw mills, and az
range to have mill sites and piling
grounds on both sides of the river to
Bates island. Several citizens meet
ings were held in the offices of Mueller
g. Bardeen to this end. 1t was
found that the Wausau Boom COM
pany had obtained charter some
years previous; that its franchises
extended over a portion of the ground
which it was necessary for the new
company to occupy; that the company
at that time wanted a fabulous price
for piers, booms, ETC., and, in fact,
put its giant foot upon an enterprise
which would, if it had been carried
out, made Wausau double the size it
is at the present day. 1t was a great
opportunity lost. The opportunities
exist here today as they did in 1874.
Wausau has the men now who are as
far seeing as the men of those days.
Ou, means for generating electricity
are boundless and what the great
fields of coal are to the cities of
Pennsylvania, SC should our electric
ity prove great factor in building
up the cities in the Wisconsin River
Valley. But, as in 1874, there are
those who idl, fold their hands and
capital is compeiled to. seek elsewhere
for investment.

The convention was concluded
Thursday. forenoon. Many of the Wis
itors spent Thursday afternoon at the
base ball park to see the game be-
tween Green Bay and Wausau, while
Others went sight seeing, which the
weather Wednesday made it impossi-
BILE to do.

place for the FTaternal Reserve Asso-
citation convention, which will be held
in 1914. Eau Claire received AZ votes
to the 26 cast for Beloit. Sheboygan

Vice Pres.-J. L. McGillioray, Chip
peWa Falls.
Secretary. s. Hubbard, Beloit.
