ATHENtAN DEMOCRACY.

Our form of government does
not enter into rivalry with the
institutions of others. We do not
copy our ncighborS, but are an

a democracy, for the administra

and not of the few But. while
the law secures equal Justice to
all alike in their private disputes,
the claim of excellence is also
recognized, and when a citizen
is in any way distinguished he is
preferred to the public service.

On such soils the clover seed should

DEATH OF MISS KATE.

The citizens of Wausau, generally,
were greatly shocked last Saturday to
learn OF the death of Miss Ernestine
KatZ, which occurred in Chicago last
Friday afternoon. 1t seems that a
few weeks ago Miss Katz having a
small water blister on her hand
picked it with a needle. Later she
went on lake trip with her brother,
Moses, and several nieces and during
the time the blister, which did not
heal, commenced to be inhamed.
The party returned to Chicago on the
18th day of August and Miss Katz
was left in Augustana hospital of
that city, thinking she would be all
right in few days. Blood poisoning
developed and she passed away on the
afternoon of Friday, Aug. 10Th, 1913,
at o'clock. Her brother, Moses
Katz, was made acquainted with her
serious condition on Thursday and he
went down that day, accompanied by
Chas. WeinfeId, and they were with
her when the end came.
Miss Katz was e. years of age. She
came to Wausau about 30 years ago
with her brothers, Moses and Simon
and sister, Miss Frederick Katz, who
died Jan. 23d, 1911. The sisters and
brothers lived tagether here for many
years, but now all have passed away
excepting Moses, who it is thought,
will make his future home in Chica-
go.
Deceased was a woman who had a
very wide circle of friends and her
life in Wausau was filled with good
deeds. She was beloved by all who
had the honor of her acquaintance.
The funeral services were held in
Chicago at 2 O'Clock Sunday after
noon and besides Mr.. Katz and Mr..
Weinfeld, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Paff
and daughter, Miss Marie of this city,
were in attendance. Interment was
in Graceland cemetery Chicago.
