The Guarantee.

William J. Burns, the famous de-
tective. was talking in New York
about the recent dropping of his name
from the honorary list of police chiefs.
1T is easy" Mr.. Burns said, to
read the significance of that action.
Its significance is evil. 1t relates to
certain graft exposures on my part.
Yes, it's significance is as evil as the
clothier's guarantee.

His feet will stand the hard road

Farming communities may be easily
sized up by the quality of their horses.
A mule Is also an excellent saddle
animal if one well learns the trick
of saddling him.
The mule is the most tireless work
or on the farm, eats less than horse,
and does more work.
The fact that horse is imported,
does not add one cent to his intrinsic
value for breeding purposes.
Stick to the drafters and the heavy
carriage horses on the farms; they
are always salable, and will bring good
prices.
A mules age cuts little figure in
sale. No one seems to care how old
a mule is. However, he will bring

The late Adiai f. Stevenson, said
Republican leader of Bloomington
hadn't, after all, much use for poll

this was.
He said that party politicians be

Whatever the other side advocated, il
was horrible and internal; whatever
their own side advocated was holy.
He said the partisan couldn't I'M

CAR OCCUPANTS
ESCAPE INJURY.
Wsusau Physician and Driver Near
Death in Auto Accident.

DR.. Quade Of WauSau, with his
Chauffeur, Henry Drnyer, narrowly es-
capped death this morning, when a
large seven passenger car in which
they were riding crashed through the
railing of bridge about nine miles
south of here.
The physician had been out for an
early call, and was returning some
little time before daylight, when they
drove across the bridge near the home
of Herman Schwartz on the Wausau-
Merrill road. Due to the early morn
ing light it was difficult to drive, and
slippery roads crashed the car and
occupants into the bridge. The rod
of the bridge drove through the car
seat into the rear cushions.
The driver was unfamiliar with the
road and it is believed that this
caused the accident.
Druyer was badly cut about the
face, but not seriously. DR.. Quade,
escaped uninjured, which seemed
little short of miraculous.
Farmers near there reported the
accident in this city, and some said
that one man was killed because OF
the blood on the car. No one was al

discovery was made Of the car, as a
relief party had taken the two to

DEATH OF AUG. ZIEBELL
Passed Away Very Suddenly on Satur-
day, Nov. 2lst, 1914, at About
10 O'Clock a. m

Our citizens were shocked Saturday
morning to learn of the death of
August Ziebell, who passed away
between $50 and 10 O'Clock, of apo
plexy. He had been in very good
health up to this time and on
the day previous, took trip with
members of his family, to Merrill and
on the morning of his death had eaten
hearty breakfast, as usual. He had
seated himself after finishing what
work he had to do about the home,
to read the morning paper. Mrs. lie
bell found him sitting in the chair
about ten O'Clock unconscious and at
once called in physician who pro-
nounced life extinct.
Mr.. Ziebell was one of our best
known residents, having been very
active in business up to six or seven
years ago. For quarter of century
he operated grocery store, enjoying
the confidence and the patronage of
our people B6ueIdlly.
August Ziebell was born on the
31st day of August, 1912, and came to
this country direct from Germany in
1857 with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Ziebell. In the history written
by Hon. Louis Marchetti we find that
among the Germans who settled in
the town of Halsey in this county in
that year, was Fred Ziebell, thirty
miles from Wausau, with no roads at
that time leading thereto. His family
was large and one of the boys was
constantly on the road carrying -four
and groceries. 1T required two days
to make the trip to Wausau and three
days to return with fifty pounds of
groceries Oh his back. They remained
there for several years, but the strain
was too great and they had to abandon
the farm. The oldest son began anew
on eighty acres in the town of Maine,
seven miles from Wausau, and made
a success. The other boys came to
Wausau where they all did well.
The youngest of the large family
was August, whose obituary we are
now writing. He worked and attend
ed school, acquiring good education
and early commenced the work of
logging and running the river. Later
he clerked in the stores of R. E.
Parcher; Parcher, Manson q Fernald,
Manson & Son and J. n. Manson.
He then took over the grocery bust
ness of the latter conducting it for
twenty-five years when he retired,
which was about six years ago.
He was united in marriage on the
5th of Sept, 1868, to Augusta w.
Fellbaum of the town of Berlin, who
survives him together with three
sons and one daughter, viz: Robert
and Frank of Milwaukee, Otto OF
Ripon and Mrs. Max Boehm of this
city.

O'Clock this Tuesday afternoon from

HELP POVERTY
STRICKEN BELGIUM.
Across the Water to Suffering
Thousands.

In response to a request from many
people of the state the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement Association has consented
to conduct statewide campaign for
cash, food and clothing Tor the relief
of the people of Belgium who are now
at the point of starvation.
The more recent information mag
mites the distress that prevails among
the Belgian people, many of whom
are stranded in other Co rtries where
the burden has passed the breaking
point, but the bulk of whom are even
unable to leave the.country.
They are unable to work and earn
their bread for the reason that in
dustry has been suspended in thsir
country. Their crops have been de-
stroyed and it is too late now to raise
anything until another year Their
stock has been appropriated for war
purposes. They are helpless. 1t is no
fault of theirs. There is no time now
to discuss whose fault it is-nor are
we in position to know.
The fact is that millions are in the
worst distress the world has ever
known-it is the browning catastro-
ply of history. The people of Ameri-
"a must save these millions of fellow
beings from starvation, and prosper
