LAST OF THE MOHICANS RESTS
AT STOCKBRIDGE, WISCONSIN

An aged chief was passing to the
happy hunting grounds. Around him
were gathered his friends and kins-
men. With his last words he exhorted
them to be true to the Christian faith
and to their alliance with the white
man. Thus passed away in 1858, at
Stockhridge, in Wisconsin, John
MetOxen, the last of the Mohicans,
Cooper, in his famous romance, leaves
the last of the Mohicans on the shores
OF Lake George. In reality the rem
nant of the tribe, coalesced with the
Stockbridges, found their final resting
place on the shores of Lake Winnie
bago. Among the group clustered at
the mission house of Stockbridge,
Massachusetts, was born in ITO the
Indian boy, Metoxen. In youth his
people removed to New Stockbridge
in New York. After thirty years or
more new western homes were sought
and Metoxen led band of his people
to Wisconsin, where by arrangement
with the Menominee third Stock
bridge was erected. Metoxen was an.
orator and a Christian. In the abb
sence of missionary he held religious
services. When a missionary was
present he acted as interpreter and
held the dusky audience spellbound
by his eloquence. Throughout long
life he led his people in the paths
OF civilization and morality, and left
for them an honorable fame for the
last of the Mohicans.

SUITS FOR $4,000

The Kruegers now in Jail at Neills-
vile, were given a preliminary hear
ing on Monday, but as Frank, the son,
who was wounded, will not be able to
appear in court for some time, the
case was postponed until the term
of court held late in the fall. Be
sides being held for the trial of kill
ing and wounding men, and resisting
the law, they will be made defendants
in heavy damage suits. Mrs. Lillian
Jensen, wife of Harry Jensen, who
was killed, is suing for $4,000; H.
M. Root, administrator of. the Jensen
estate is suing for $4,000; others, in
Guiding the wounded men have insti-
tuted suits, and the sums asked for,
aggregate $4,000, which would re-
quire all of the Kruger property to
pay it.
1t is claimed that Leslie and Louis
Kruger, were seen near Royal the
other day. Anyway the officers and
papers are sure that two young men
who were seen in the woods and who
later slept in barn during that night
resembled the Kruger boys.
Frank Kruger in an interview said
that neither Leslie nor Louis were
in the fight. The former he said
evaded the officers and lived in the
woods all summer, eating berries and
coming home every few days to sleep
in the barn and to get his basket full
of eatables. Louis, who also evaded
the registration, left early in the
summer and was in Minnesota, N. Da-
kota and Montana, working on farms
He came back home in the early fall,
but left a week before the shooting.

SPANISH INFLUENZA SPREADING

This disease is spreading very rap
idly throughout this country. Very
much like the grippe did when it first
made it's appearance in America, only
the present influenza seems to be much
more severe. Wausau, it is thought,
has number of cases. From reports
that come in from the East, a few
cases would mean the city would be
in its grip in short order. In Wash
ington 5000 teachers and many school
children were dismissed on the End
on account Of preliminary symptoms
of the disease. The hospitals are filled
and doctors and nurses far short of
demands. Camp Grant is quarantined,
also Camp Custer. 1000 cases are in
Camp Grant alone.
Prompt efforts should be made in
Wausau to prevent the spread of the
disease.
In many of the cities in the East,
schools, churches, theatres and all
places of public assemblage have been
ordered closed indefinitely.
Influenza masks are recommended
by the Wisconsin Medical society. The
society drafted the following resolu-
tions:
Influenza is spread by coughing,
sneezing, blowing of the nose and spit
ting. People afflicted with colds
should avoid all crowded buildings and
cars. They should protect their faces
with masks or handkerchiefs when
with other people.
People not afflicted and exposed
should use a mild antiseptic solution
to cleanse the nose and throat twice a
day or oftener."

home that the injured young man is
looking well everything considered
) He says: Paul has compound fracture
| of left leg above the ankle and above
the knee; small bone in left arm

the elbow; face and right side
| scratched badly; right eye blackened

from the shock. = Sergeant Drake
who was with him is doing finely. His
| injury was less serious, only one leg
being broken. Paul looked good
to me, and he was very cheerful
ACCOUNT OF ACCIDENT
The following account of the aero
plane accident is taken from the Bal
timore Sun, of Sunday, Sept. 29th:
"The pilot of one of the large army
aeroplanes, which flew over the city
yesterday morning, and his observer,
were injured, one of them seriously,
when they were going up to do a few
stunts for a moving picture operator
at the Pimlico race track a little be-
fore noon yesterday. The injured men
are: Lieut.. Paul Tobey of Wisconsin,
the pilot Of the machine, who suf-
fered two fractures of his left leg;
severe injuries about the head and
sustained possible internal injuries
His condition is serious
Sergt. A. ]. Drake, observer in the
machine who suffered a compound
fracture of the left leg and lacerated
scalp.
Both of the injured men are from
Langley Field, Va, and arrived in Bal
timore on yesterday morning.
The aeroplane had just left the
ground and was mounting into the
air when right wing struck the top
of the high sign board, on which are
placed the names of the winning
horses in the races held at Pimlico.
The wing was almost torn off by the
impact and the machine, after taking
several dangerous loops, crashed to the
ground, striking within five feet of
the rail around the inside of the track,
packed behind which were hundreds
of children and few men and women.
Both Lieut.. Tobey and Sergeant
Drake were caught fast in the wreck
and held tight in the machine by their
belts. Harry Edes of Arlington, ran
up with knife and cut the belts and
slashed and broke away the fusilage.
Both men were rushed to the Union
Protestant Infirmary.
The entire party of machines had
safely landed at the field, when Harry
Leny, motion picture photographer,
requested that one of the pilots go
up so that he could take some pictures
and Lieut.. Tobey volunteered.
The machine was one of the Two
Hundred and Seventy-irst Aero
Squadron, under the command of Capt.
VIM. A. Tilt, which came to Baltimore
from Langley Field to take part in the
Liberty Loan celebration.

succeeded Middelschulte, as the or
.chestra's organist, he will occupy that
post as soon as he is relieved of the
baton, by such visiting conductors,
as will assume that position during
Mr.. Stocks absence. Mr.. De Lamarter
has for years been a close friend of

HEAVY TAX COMING

The city council met last Tuesday
evening, Mayor John Sell, presiding.
The finance committee submitted tax
budget of the city's expenditures for
the coming year from which to base
the rate of taxes. The budget to-
tailed up to $401, ,235.2S. The citys
receipts were placed at S113,126.4O,
which will make a rate upon the tax
able property of Wausau, $347, as
compared with $3.02 last year. Mayor
Sell explained that the reason of the
higher rate of taxes this year, was on
account of the new system of account
ing which did permit of the transfers
from one fund into another. The
council adopted the budget as pre-
sented by the finance committee.
c. c. Yawkey, city chairman of the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive made a
request that the council take action in
the matter of fixing the date for pay
ing taxes, so as to better enable our
people to purchase Liberty bonds. To
this end the following resolution:
Whereas, Section 1890, Statutes of
Wisconsin, authorize extension for the
time of payment of taxes, without pen
atty, until the first of March, by
two-thirds vote of the common council
which extension would be of advantage
to subscribers for the Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds; now, therefore,
Resolved, By the mayor and common
council of the city of Wausau, that
the time for payment of taxes to be
levied for the current year be and the
same is hereby extended until the first
day of March, 1913"
The matter of increase of pay for
members of the police and fire de-
partments, was referred to the COM
mittee on salaries.
A report submitted showed that the
concrete bridge across the falls had
cost the city 65,53S.84, and the council
gave the city engineer and George
Morisette, chairman of the committee
on streets and bridges a rising vote
of thanks for their efficient work in
supervising the construction of the
bridge.
DR.. w. E. Zilisch resigned as health
officer and was thanked by the coun-
Gil for excellent services rendered
while in Office.
f. p. Regner, city attorney, who at
tended the hearing of the application
OF the Wausau Gas company for an in
crease of its rates, before the railroad
commission in Madison, said that they
put up a plea of higher cost of labor
and inferior coal supply. 1t was de-
c1ded to leave the matter with the
commission and that if the increase
was granted it be limited.

HERE'S WHAT AMERICANS
DID in ST. MIHIEL DRIVE

The significance of the American
army's success in the st. Mihiel drive
is outlined by Frank H. Simonds, au-
thority on military affairs, as follows:
l. More Americans fought side by
side in this battle than in any other
battle in our history.
2. More men were engaged on both
sides than in any battle in which an
American army under an American
general ever fought.
8. A larger uninterrupted advance
was made in one day in this battle
than in any one day of the four years
of war on the west front
A. More prisoners were taken than
in any "a hours of the war on the
French front.
5. A larger area of French terri
tory was liberated than in any equal
period since the lines stabilized in
1914.
"In orr national history, as jl wo-ld
history, the battle of st. Mihiel," he
says, "will have an enduring place.
To the world it announced The arrival
of America in her appointed place in
the battle line of civilization; to Amer
leans it means a reassertion of the
fundamental unity and solidarity of
the American people"
