DEATH OF MARY LOUISE
HOEFER.

A telegram received by Wausau
relatives Oh Wednesday contained the
sad news of the death of Mary Louise
Hoefer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Hoefer of Kansas City, Mo-,
who passed away that morning, the
cause of her death being appendicitis.
Mary Louise, who was a niece of Mr..
and Mrs. G. W. Harger, Mr.. and Mrs.
W. B. Scholtield and Miss Margaret
Scholfield, was we'll known in Wausau
having often visited here with her
parents, her bright personality win
ming for her many warm friends. She
was only seventeen years of age and
taken as she was in the happiest,
sunnieSt hours Of life, just as her girl
hood was budding into young woman
hood, the loss seems doubly hard to
bear. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoefer were
called upon to mourn the death of an
older daughter, Miss Eunice, who
passed away last May, and they are
now left alone. There are no words
OF comfort that can lessen so great a
sorrow, but the hearts of their Wau-
sau friends are filled with the deepest
sympathy for them in this their sad
atfiiction. Miss Margaret Scholfeld
and W. B. Scholtield departed Wednes-
day evening for Kansas City to be
present at the funeral services which
were held Friday from the family
home

FROM THE VIEWPOINT
OF PRACTICAL CITIZENSHIP

FRIEND GENE
Reading in the Milwaukee papers of
last week the preliminations of that
so-called republican" convention at
Madison, though in fact but its
"standpat' contingent, that being
evidently the transposition of the old
"stalwart," some casual observations
from an outsider, or rather, so to
speak, birdseye view from up here
of that gathering (. "bourbonism,"
that neither leaves nor forgets, might
come interesting to your many
readers.
Speaking in retrospect, it rather
makes one wonder how our friend,
Mr.. Rosenberg, could read those par
agraphs on standpat protection with
out smile, as memories drifted back
ward to the early associations and
ardent support of Grover Cleveland
and the then Wilson tariff. But, of
course, times change and mortal
humanity follows suit, yet it tends to
destroy the effect of preliminations
thus webbing.
The writer was, in those days, fully
convinced of the error in the Wilson
tariff and though never protection
ist of the McKinley-Aldrich school,
did believe with Garfield that our
''infant" industries needed reasonable
protection; but fortunately most of
giants. To illustrate how the practi-
cal observer finds himself compelled
to realize this, just take our mining
industry and its plain facts as proven
to the writer in a residence here of
going on 80 years. From every stand
pat orator clear down to his echoes
out in the locations one heard up here
but the one song-take off that tariff
on iron ore and every mine in the
upper peninsula must close down.
Well, that tariff is off now over a
year and still our mines are running
stronger than ever, in fact every prac-
tical mining man, from Judge Gary,
the head of the steel trust, clear down
to the smaller operators, now admit
that free iron ore is an impetus to
mining, as it has cut loose the iron
and steel manufacturer from that old
bogy of loosening the home market
and he finds now that he can not only
hold this but successfully compete in
the foreign field as well, In fact. the
American iron and steel industry
never stood so prosperous and safe as
it does today.
Before facts as these is it not time
for that old calamity wall TO subside ?

INC RfVer through Parrs.

Small two decked steamers ply on
the seine as it twists its way through
Paris. You can catch one every fifteen
minutes, and 1t costs sous e cents)
to go from one end of the city to the
other, a distance Of perhaps eight
miles, and then once outside the city
walls you pay 2 sous more. The
Seine river is narrow dull green and
slow moving; not majestic at all, but
made picturesque by the life that is
upon it. In Paris it is commerce and
artistic beauty combined that border
its banks. Within the boats that are
moored to its palings are so many diff
ferent kinds of existence-baths, hos
pitfalls, washhouses, homes, restau-
rants and lodgings. People live half
above, half under the water, and In
some places on the Seine for long dis
tances these boats are moored four
abreast and following in line like SOL
diers on march. These are the --LATEST
OF boats. When they come up the riv-
er freighted their tops are just at the
waters edge. The Seine seldom rises
or falls very much, as it is held In its
banks by concrete walls.-Cleveland

No Cause For Intervention

mo we will not intervene IN Mex
ico-at least not on the facts thus
far presented. There is no cause
for intervention, and President
Wilson will not be forced by the
American congress into war with
Mexico"
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
makes these statements Thursday
in a signed editorial in his magazine
The senator declares that the speci-
al interests which have exploited
the American people through con-
troll of our timber, coal, oil lands
and waterpowers coveted the min
eral wealth of Mexico. They easily
ACQUIRED their concessions under the
Diaz government.
'The same American interests
which enjoyed the favor OF the
Diaz despostism and secretly aided
to overthrow the Madero govern
ment, are opposed to the Carranza
government for the same reason,
continues Senator La Toilette.
"They fear that Carranza will dem
ocratize Mexico and restore the
country to the Mexican people.
These financial lords want Mexico
for what there is in it. Any govern
ment which will make their proper
ty rights and profits secure is a good
government. Any government hav-
ing for its primary object the estab-
Hshments of on ultimate democracy
for the Mexican people is, in the
riew of these interests, bad gov
eminent.
"Our special interests and their
press sought to force this govern
ment to intervene to maintain the
Diaz government military despo-
tism. They used all their power,
directly and indirectly to maintain
the Huerta governments military
despotism. And now that a govern
ment has been established in Mexico
which is manifestly making the int
erests of the Mexican people its
paramount object, they are raising
another hue and cry throughout
the country for intervention"
Senator La Toilette then discusses
the murder of a number of employees
by band of outlaws, but says that
the Carranza government is in hot
pursuit.
mo government on earth could
have shown better faith in such an
affair than has the Carranza govern
ment, says Senator La Toilette.

PRESIDENT WILSON, it is said,
favors the creation of a tariff com

bill through during the present ses-

a reality, will take away from the

A German Name in France.

WRITING of his visit to the perfume
factories Of Grasse in Harper's Maya
zine, Herbert Adams Gibbons tells Of
questioning the use Of the German
name Cologne on a French %prodvnt.
II noticed a table Of bottles lg6eled
eau-de-cologne. Surely this Is now
eau-de-liege in France" I remarked.
Are not German names Tabor
my guide answered seriously: We
have tried our best here and in every
perfumery in France, but dealers tell
US that they cannot sell eau-de-liege,
even though they assure their custom
ers hat it Is exactly the same product,
and explain the patriotic reason for
the change Of name. Once given,
names stick. The public will not &C
custom itself to a change. Once we
launched a new perfume hat made q
big hit. Afterward we discovered that
we had named it from a wrong flower.
But could we correct the mistake? 1t
goes by the wrong name today all owe

CAPITAL OF ONE ROAD

Washington, d. c., Oct. 2s.-The In

e. Atlantic, both well known lines of
the south. These are the first roads in
the country whose valuations ave been
tentatively finished, subject to review
by h entire commission.
In h ase of the Texas Midland, IL
IL found that its value exceeds its cap

lanta, Birmingham & Atlantic II is
found that the capital and liabilities
outstanding are far in excess Of the
valuation figures of the commission
When the physical valuation law was
passed, 1t was freely declared in con-
gress that the roads OF the United
States were over capitalized and their
security issues badly watered.
II was given as the opinion of Off
Gals Of the Interstate Commerce com
mission today that the valuation Of the
first two roads in h country demon
strated that nc general rule could be
laid down and hat some roads would
be found heavily v capitalized and
some would not.

MEXICAN PLOT TO
UNSEAT CARRANZA
Angeles, Gomez and Villa Said
to Be Involved in C0nSpir-
aCy Against First
Chief.

Washington. d. c., Oct. 2s.-Fresh
reports Of an attempt at a coalition Of
Mexican generals against Carranza
have reached here. They are unofficial.
but persons advised on Mexican affairs
consider them well founded.
Villa is said to have agreed to leave
Mexico If Carranza is deposed. The two
candidates who are being most prom
inently considered by the coalition are
General Angeles and DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez. Both are in this u
try.
In support Of the stories of a coali-
ton, 1t Is pointed out that the families
Of Carranza and Obregon are In the
United States; and, though Secretary
Lansing has denied this Is of any sig
%nifcance, the denial is disputed by those
who say the revolt Is being planned.
So far as known here, General Obregon
Is not in the plot and is loyal to the
first chief.
