to Germany, declaring that the sinking
of Norwegian ships and the killing of
men on them is violation of the laws
of humanity. Norway has suffered ter

Judge Blanchard of the Springfield
municipal court very properly ruled
that there was not sufficient evidence
to hold ITartland man, charged with
murder in the first degree, in killing
his wife by running off a 5o-foot bank
in an automobile. The fact that the
man and another person made the
plunge in which the woman was killed
did not give the case the appearance
of criminalitv.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

Yesterday, Wednesday, Dec. Sd,
1917, was the 50th anniversary of the
day when Nathan Heinemann said
good bye" to his parents in Baden,
Germany and started for America. He
observed the day as a sort of holt
day and while reminiscing with
number of his friends he was pressed
to tell of his trip to this country and
his various activities up to the time
he finally came to WaUsau. 1t was an
interesting story and about as event
full as any young man can have who
comes to new country alone Co make
his home, and to carve out q fortune
and a name,-this Mr.. Heinemann has
done by his energy and ability. Mr.
Heinemann was clerk in one
of the large dry goods stores of Baden
for four years before cOmingto Amer
lea. In 1867 he started on his voyage
to this country; landing in New York
few weeks afterwards. He turned
his hand at whatever came his way
until finally he secured a position
in the large mercantile establishment
of A. t. Stewart. He was con-
versant with the German, French and
English languages and from that time
his advance was rapid. He was per-
suaded to go to Savannah, Ga, to take
charge of a large business and it was
in that city that he met and was united
in marriage to Miss Rebecca Kahn.
He came to Chicago and later, up in
to Wisconsin and was at DePere for
a while, and it was there he was
Joined by his brother, Benjamin, and
together they resolved to go into bust
ness at Green Bay. When they ar
rived there they found the store which
they had intended to take had been
leased, so they came to Wausau. This
was in 1874, and from that time Heine-
mann Bros. commenced to build up d
mercantile institution which grew to
be one of the largest in northern Wis
censin. Nathan and Benz. Heinemann
have retired from the mercantile bus
mess, notwithstanding each is heavily
interested in lumber and other inter-
ests. The name of "Heinemann" has
become thoroughly woven into the
history and progress Of our city, due
to those men who came here in the
pioneer days and successfully braved
the hardships until success crowned
their efforts.
May they live long to enjoy the
fruits of their industry, is the sincere
wish of all.

nurse is to be secured to keep track
of the cases. 1t is more essential this
year than ever that our people be
liberal.
