President Hurries Back.

WASHINGTON, April s.-President
Wilson will return to Washington at
1870 this afternoon. A wireless from
the Mayflower on which he left last
night for a Potomac river cruise, in
formed the white house today of his
intention to return Immediately. No
reason was assigned for the sudden
change.
The president had intended to re-
main away until Monday,
1t was suggested as possible that
the storm into which the Mayflower
may have run and which swept Wash
ington and the lower Potomac early
today, had proved too much for COM
fort On the other hand. it was in
timated the president may have re-
ceived word by wireless that Ger
many's preliminary report to this gov
eminent on the recent submarine
activities, handed to Ambassador
Gerard yesterday, would be at the
state department by the time he re-
turned this afternoon.

many there the opportunity OF reaiiz-
ing the wonderful progress made dur

as to appeal to most varied audi
ence and each participant was well re-
ceived and encored for their work and
ability shown. The feature Of the eve

wotan Zoellner, the nine-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Macmillan zoellner,
who played with a master hand the
most difficult of selections, display
ing a wonderful technic and under
standing Of music In fact it was

It was a child playing instead of an
adult who had mastered this most per-
feet of instruments.

ton, there having been very sub
stantial gain in deposits during the
year and names of a large number of
new depositors having been added on
the books of the bank.

WEHRLEY SENTENCED FOR
LIFE.

The State vs. Alfred Wehrley was
brought on for trial Wednesday
morning, January 5th, with Judge
Byron B. Park, presiding. When the
case was set for trial Judge A. FL.
Reid, called in Judge Wickham of
Eau Claire. Shortly before the case
came up for trial in November. an
affidavit of prejudice was filed against
Judge Wickham by the defendant.
The defendant has the right under
the statutes of this state to file an
affidavit of prejudice against one
judge. Judge Reid then called in
Judge Park, of Stevens Point, who
finally disposed of the case
When the case came on for trial
the state was represented by District
Attorney E.. p German, assisted by
M. B. Rosenberg. Shortly after the
arrest of the defendant, Judge Reid
appointed John p. Ford, to represent
the defendant, who secured f. p.
h6SuoT, W dSSlSb Illll.
A jury was started to be drawn on
Wednesday morning from the regular
list of jurymen serving on the fall
term. A special venire of forty men
were called for. The jurors to be
selected from the county and those
whose names were drawn residing in
the city of Wausau were excused. All
day Wednesday was occupied in Sc
lecting jury.
On Thursday morning the case took
decided turn when the defendant
came into the court and upon motion
of his attorneys, the plea of not
guilty was withdrawn and the plea of
guilty entered, at which time Judge
Park sentenced the defendant to life
imprisonment at the state penitenti
airy at Waupun to which place he was
taken last Friday morning.
The crime to which Alfred Wehrley
pleaded guilty was of numbering his
father on the night of August 10Th
last. Peter Wehrley, while asleep in
his bed, was, about one O'Clock in the
morning, shot through the head, dy-
ing instantly. At the time his wife
was in bed with him. The bullet and
shell were found in the bed and upon
investigation showed that the revolver
used was a savage automatic. No one
was seen or heard in the room but
some one was heard running down the
stairs.
Drs. Zillisch and S. M. B. Smith
were Immediately called as were also
the officers. Chief of Police Thomas
Malone and Henry Schwister were
on the scene almost Immediately. 1t
was learned that there was trouble
between the father and son and so
the officers went to the Adams house
where they found Alfred Wehrley and
brought him to the home of his father
after which he was taken to the city
Jail and there held until morning.
After questioning him for about a
day he signed statement admitting
his guilt.

A Princa,s Chilly Din.

Prince Henry Of Prussia is an ar
dent sailor, says Pearson's Weekly, but
he is known among the bluejackets as
a great martinez. The following story
is typical of his methods, and shows
that although he expects those under
his command to put up with all kinds
of hardships, he is by no means above
''roughing IT. himself.
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North sea, he suddenly
gave the order, "All hands to bathe!"
1t was a bitterly cold day and the
water was like ice. The order was
so evidently distasteful that one Of
the officers ventured to make a mild
protest to the prince. Without an
swering him single word, Prince
Henry, although fully clothed, sprang
over the vessels side, swan out good
distance in the icy water and returned
to the deck dripping from head to foot
After that the sailors took their bath
without demur.

Fixinu the Fairies.

Remnants of the cave men living In
hidden places in the forests, avoiding
the more civilized human beings about
them, but seen occasionally by these,
were probably the first of the fairies,
according to A. E. Peake in a paper
that appears in the report of the Pre-
historic Society of East Anglia.
Long before the Danes came to the
British isles Ireland was infested by
a people called the Danaans, probably
the earliest of the Celts or possibly
antedating them. The word Danaan,
according to the London Lancet, may
be rendered fairy" They were Of
puny stature, but their heads were as
large as ours, as is proved by the
skulls found In the boys. With their
little pointed caps and their retiring
ways they were only vaguely known
to their neighbors, and when they died
out they were dimly remembered and
soon became legend.
