LETTER FROM WAUSAU SOLDIER
BOY

The following is an interesting let
ter from Arnold Wegner, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Wegner of this city,
written September %, 1917, while en-
route from Fort Sheridan. H., to
Fortress Monroe, Virginia, where he
is stationed with the artillery:
Thursday was moving day for US,
we packed and marked our baggage,
scrubbed our barracks, and then pa
tiently awaited orders to move, while
in the meantime we kept ourselves
in high spirits by singing. Pianos
were delivered a few weeks ago. one
to each company. Our company is
fortunate enough to have several
piano players, two fellows with vio-
Inns, one with a cornet and one with
a clarinet, so we have some orchestra.
We also have several soloists. One
fellow sings Spanish, Italian, French
and Hawaiian.
A regiment of Regulars" with
Fort Sheridan as the last lap of a
300 mile hike were due there Thurs
day evening, and we were ready 20

left before they came.
At $50 o'clock the companies, three
in number, formed and in the quiet
darkness left Fort Sheridan, being
marched to a siding where one bag
gage coach and nine pullman coaches
awaited us, this to be our home for
two days and two nights. A Y. M.
c. A. worker passed through the train
and left stationery, chess men, check
ers and boards and dominoes In each
coach and they were in use most of
the time. The first morning friday
| was on the detail to act as waiter,
and believe me, it was some job dis
tributing plates, knives, forks and
food on the moving train. What
marveled at though was the way the
negro cooks were able to prepare
bacon, eggs, toast and coffee for
some 250 men in one little buffet COM
partment l have never had more
pleasure out Of train trip before
than on this particular one. Every
time we pass through small towns
the train slows down and the people
wave from all directions, and being
on train with fellows 1 have lived
with for three weeks, there is plenty
of companionsnip. The only trouble
is we have no opportunity to stop of
at places. We are occasionally side
tracked for several minutes, but that
is ALL After every several hundred
miles they change engines and crews,
1t is strange how the features OF
various districts are noticeable to one
while passing through the country
Friday morning We noticed the pre-
dominance of tobacco fields and the
large numbers of mules in pastures
along the way. At this time the dark
les also showed up and we knew We
were in Kentucky. Today we are
passing through Virginia, which is
quite evident from the hills all about
and the number of tunnels through
which we pass.

nuts, two boiled eggs, two pickles
and a piece of pie. Each was also Civ

The office of information of the De-
partment of Agriculture authorizes
the following:
There is no food which exactly
takes the place of the potato when
one is accustomed to it," says state
ment issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. urging an
increased consumption of this we're
table now that the markets Of the
country are well supplied. "It has
come to be such part OF our dinner
that we miss it when it is not served.
Besides, any leftover potato can be
used in many very palatable ways
for breakfast or supper, and this is
a convenience from the housekeeper 8
standpoint, since it helps ber to make
palatabIe meals. Not only is it use
full, but il is very important for the
food material it supplies. II is one
of the most wholesome sources Of
starch and is also fairly rich In the
mineral matter which the body needs.
When the price permits. potatoes
should by all means be made part

A MUCH TRAVELLED BAND

A band that has travelled over
400, 900 miles in 16 years, making a
complete tour around the world must
be of superior quality or it would
not be in such demand. This Is true

Greatest Concert Band under the able
leadership of Mr.. Murdoch j. Mac
Donald, and if Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
was giving medals for the most trav-

has visited twenty different countries
and playing over 5000 concerts. two

DEATH OF NJ. A. HURLEY

when the State Bar association re-
Gently elected as its president Mr.. M.
A Hurley, of Wausau, it honored a
man whose career as a lawyer fills the
full measures of the best tradi-
tions of the Wisconsin bar, and
it recognized one of the first Of
ficers of the association, Mr.. Hurley
having been elected vice president in
1873, when the association was organ
ized. The nearest Mr.. Hurley ever
came to holding Office was when he
served about a year as district attor-
ney of Green Lake county, in 1872, and
when he was appointed on the first
state board of law examiners in 1885.
Always an ardent republican, most
effective speaker in political cam
paigns, and prominent in the public
eye, he yet preferred the professional
standing to be obtained only by unre-
mitting attention to the law. He To-
Gated in Wausau when young man,
in 1873, before the town had a rail-
road, and formed a partnership with
Hon. Willis c. Silverthorn. When |

pine stumps were still a feature
of the landscape and covered
goodly portion of the present hand
some city, SilvertbOrn & Hurley were
already well known in the Wiscon-
sin river valley, and Mr.. Hurley was
building a reputation for ability in
argument, exact knowledge of the law,
and painstaking care in the conduct of
cases, buttressed later and made Sc
cure by some notable legal victories.

WOUND PROVES FATAL
Albert Fountain Died Friday After.
noon, a Short Time After Reeeiy-
ing Serious Iniury-Funeral Held
Tomorrow Afternoon.

Albert Fountain, a. foreman in the
wood yard Of the Wausau Sulphate
Fibre Co.'S plant, died Friday after
noon at two o'clock, about two hours
after having received knife wound in
the left leg, death being due to ex-
treme loss of blood and weak heart
action. The exact manner in which he
was injured remains somewhat of a
mystery as no one was with him at the
time, and the injured man did not re-
cover sufficiently to tell of the acci-
dent. The wound was a deep cut in
the left thigh, and was of such ma
ture as would have been inflicted by
knife cut. 1t is thought that he acci-
dentally cut himself while engaged
in whiting, an art that was a favor
ite past time of his.
When discovered he was very weak
from loss of blood and in a semi
conscious condition. First aid was
given at the mill. when he was re-
moved to his home, where he died at
two o'clock. He is survived by his
wife and eight children, besides his
parents, two brothers and three sis
ters. They are Mrs. Oliver Fountain,
Grand Rapids, mother; Adolph Foun-
tain, father, and Joseph and Wilbur
Fountain, brothers, who are in Can
ada; Mrs. r. L. Thurston, Argyle, Mrs.
Frank Peters, Mars, Pa; and Miss
Lenora Fountain Grand Rapids.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the M. E. church, Rev.
Britain officiating, interment being in
Union emetery.-Mosinee Times.

grew less each day, until it was evi-
dent that it was the final dissolution
of a long and well spent life.
The honored citizen whose name in
itiates this article. had long been
numbered among the representative
members of the Wisconsin bar, and
though he was virtually retired from
the active practice of his profession,
he was regarded as the dean of the
bar OF Marathon county, and had
maintained his residence in Wausau
for a period of A years. He was
one of the sterling pioneers of this
city and was potent factor in its
civic and material development and
upbuilding; had dignified his profess
sion by his able services. fine attain
ments and exalted character and was
a man who was specially deserving
of a definite place among the lead
ing lawyers of Wisconsin.
He was absolutely . self-made man.
At the age of ten years, his father
died, his mother was an invalid and
he was practically thrown upon his
own resources, at that early age. In
1856 when but l6 years Of age, he
was at SchOfield, in this county,
working in the saw mill of DR.. Schol-
field, saving up his earnings and pur-
suing his studies after working hours.
Later he was at Stevens Point where,
outside of his working hours, he
studied Latin and Greek, Uuder local
professors. Then in Chicago, at work,
where he could get the best advan-
tages during his leisure hours, and so
he continued until he studied law and
was admitted TO the bar. His life OF
nearly fifty years in Wausau. has been
such as to make him beloved by all
who knew him. Usually, men who are

25th, 1917, at the hour of 10 minutes
past Z, at the General hospital in this

a tread as soft as the shadow of
