using the BlDle IN the public
schools than that which pre-
sents itself in connection with the
schools built with money left to the
city of New Orleans by John Nc
Donogh. The history of the case
is somewhat as follows: John Nc
Donogh, who was born in Balti-
more, Maryland, about 1850, came
to New Orleans in his very early
manhood as the representative Of a
noted Baltimore firm. He quickly
established himself in business and
taking advantage of the rare oppor-
tunities which presented themselves
to far-sighteed Americans, at the
time when New Orleans and the
whole Louisiana Purchase came un-
der the American flag in 1908, laid
the foundation of vast fortune.
Because Of his great ability, tenn
peratc habits, untiring energy and
The blessings Of the God whom he
loved and Worshipped, John McDon-
OCH continued to improve his oppor-
tunities to increase his holdings and
to enlarge his wealth, until at the
time of his death in 1850 he was
probably the largest private land
holder in the world.
This man is interesting to all true
Americans for q number of reasons
To begin with, lie sprang5 from a
stock which has ever exerted a
powerful influence on the formation
and uplifting of those institutions
which are peculiar to our country
AS may be suTmised from his name,
he had his origin from that virile
race known as the Scotch-Irish. His
father fought in the Revolutionary
War under Washington and trained
his family to love and conserve the
liberty which had been thereby pur-
chased. John McDOnOgh was an apt
pupil of this heroic father and
learned we'll the lessons of true
American- His life is SO typical
in this respect as to win and hold
the high regard of such as believe
our nations basic principles are
helpful and worthy.
AS a royal American John Nc
D0nogh rendered noble service
against the plot of Aaron Burr. He
set his face tiint-like against the
Vaccinations Of that traitor and val
iantly helped General Wilkinson in
the measures which led to Burrs de-
feat.
In the war Of 1912 McDonogh took
UP arms for his country's defense
and served as a member of Beans
Rifles under Andrew Jackson in the
noble battle which was VIGOROUSLY
fought against the British, led by
Sir Edward Packenham, at New
Orleans, January 9Th, 1875. Nc
DonOgh played the true American
by taking an active interest in poll
tics. At one time he was prominent
Iy spoken Of for the United States
Senate. Indeed, he was only de-
feated for that high Office by the
narrow margin Of a few votes.
We know very little about our
philanthrOpist's early social life; but
the rumOrs which reach us are ex-
ceedingly quaint and romantic. 1t
is said that at one period in his ca
rccr he kept up handsome estab-
lishment at the corner Of Toulouse
and Charities Street. 1t was at this
time his courtships occurred. He
first fell in love with the daughter
Of the old Spanish grandee, Don AL
monastre de RoXas; but because of
his vigorous Professionalism he was
rejected. The lady afterwards be-
came by marriage the Baroness
POntalba Some years later John
McDonogh wooed Miss Johnson, an
Irish lady Of rare accomplishment
and great beauty. She too was a

MOTHER AND CHILD.
Former Deaf and Latter Blind Arrive
at the Feeble Minded Home.

A pitiful case came here from Wau-
sau yesterday. Mrs. Ellen Berndt of
the village of Schofeld and her four
year old daughter were both examined
on charges of being feeble minded.
The mother is deaf and the child
blind. The examination showed that
both were afflicted and they were or
dered committed to the state institu-
tion for the feeble minded near this
city. AS there is no room for them
here at the present time they we're
taken to the Marathon county home
and hospital where they will be cared
for until such time as they can be CIV
en- accommodations at some other state
Institution. The State Board of Con-
-trol expected to begin work on the
new Feeble Minded Home this year
but the funds in the state treasury
are so low that it will not be attempt
ed. Another home for the feeble
minded is greatly needed. The home
near this city is over crowded. Chip

A COMMENDABLE PLAN.

Our local auto owners have entered
upon a novel as well as laudable
scheme for improving the public high
ways of the surrounding country Each
of them has allotted to himself a GER
tain piece of road, which he is to
keep free from stones and other OBJ
structions injuries to the auto traffic.
p. O. Means looks after the road
from Gassner's corner to Wausau, the
Lemmer brothers take the town line
road to MoSinee for a stretch of about
six miles. A. Akey takes care of the
Bange line road for about five miles
towards Halder, the Ritger boys have
the road from here towards Edgar to
look after, DR.. j. Barber tends to the
Colby road, and Carl Hilber and Fred
Linder see to it that holds are filled
with gravel and rough places leveled
off on the roads in the town of Mara
thon.
This is certainly a fine scheme and
if the same plan would be adopted by
all auto owners of other towns it
would cei ainly result in decided
improvement of our public highways.

THE FORDS GOING SOME.

The Marathon Motor Car Co., of
THIS city, which company has sold
more Ford and other cars up to date
Ihan all like combined concerns in,the
city during the same length of time,
has already through its manager, II.
II. Jacobs, placed an order with the
Ford Motor company for three hun
dred and fifty 1914 cars for the coming
year, which shows that the Ford is
going some and is to go some more in
this locality. Another thing, owing to
the remarkable success of Mr.. Jacobs
sales during the past year the Ford
company has increased his territory
in Northern Wisconsin for its
largely increasing input, having un-
bounded faith and confidence in his
ability to dispose of them and more
too, if the Ford people furnish the
cars as promptly as called for.
These facts are gratifying to local
residents of our prosperous city and
surrounding country, as they indicate
clearly that even in the matter of
Ford sales Wausau does not concede
first place to the older and more dens-
ly settled communities for the season
just past. Mr.. Jacobs Ford sales
have increased from eight cars for
the season of 1912 to ll2 Ford cars for
81
Ford cars have obtained distinctive
recognition and Mr., Jacob knows how
to sell them.

A telephone concert and strawberry
festival was given by the Presbyter-

wire was stretched from the church
to the residence of j NJ Smith, a
distance of 1900 feet, where the choir
was stationed. Several songs were
sung which could be heard all over
the church. Jacob Kolter played sew
eTal pieces on the cornet which could
be heard with even more distinctness
and conversation could be carried on
in an ordinary tone of voice without
any difficulty. The telephone is a
very simple instrument and consists
of what appears to be couple of tin
oyster cans, such as cove oysters are
put up in, with diaphram of sheep
skin soldered in the can about one
third the distance from the bottom.
These cans are connected with fine

MAY BE MOVED TO WAUSAU.

II. II. Manson, Internal Revenue
Collector of Wisconsin who has his
office in Madison, has asked the pow
ers at Washington TO have the office
moved to Wausau, where it can be
placed in rooms in the government
building. Wausau's building is large,
fire proof and splendidly located.
Wausau is in the central part of the
district and very much better for all
concerned than is Madison. The rooms
which the Office now occupies in the
Federal building are not suitable and
soon they will have to be removed to
other rooms, paying a high rent, so
that the building can be rebuilt. The
matter is now being considered and
it is very likely that Wausau will be
the headquarters for the Second dis
trict, embracing AZ counties, for the
office of the Internal Revenue Col
lector of Wisconsin.

The city council held its regular
monthly session last Tuesday evening
Among other things the mayor was
authorized to appoint an employment
agent for the city without pay. In
as-much as the Wausau Advancement
association has a free employment
bureau and further that the appoint

The council made it a point to
hand out few orders to the police
force: That officers must wear the
regulation uniform when on duty; to
abolish the office desk sergeant and
that the present sergeant, James
Kennedy, be appointed on the police
force: when the new city Is opened
the chief of police must occupy the
living apartments and that he receive
monthly sum of $40 for janitor SER
vices.

tion petitioned for quarters in the
new city hall.

it has given excellent satisfaction.
