FUNERAL OF DAN TURK
Former Resident and Long
Time Mason Passes AWAY.

The older residents of Eagle
River will remember Dan Turk, a
carpenter who lived here years
ago, but for the larger part of 80
years in Three Lakes, and for the
last seven years at the Masonic
Home at Dousman, Wis. Mr.. Turk
had felt well on Tuesday, the 18th,
for he wrote his brother-in-law,
Burt Louk, of Three Lakes that
he never felt better in his life.
According to Mr.. Cole, who was
In charge of the home and who
came with the remains to Three
Lakes on Friday, Turk had failed
to appear at breakfast on the 18th
and an investigation disclosed the
fact that he had passed away dur
ing the night. No sign of strug-
gle was apparent so that death
must have come suddenly but. cas-
lily.
The funeral was in charge of
the Masonic Lodge of Eagle River
and was conducted by Rev. w. j.
Davies. A number of local Masons
attended.
Dan Turk had been a member
of the local lodge for 80 years.
He was born Nov. 10Th, 1849, MAX
ing IA as his ife's span.

his recovery.

Fine Lyceum Concert.

The Singing Orchestra" which
was the second number of the To-
cal Lyceum course, rendered on
excellent program at the assembly
room of the new High school last
Tuesday evening. The instrumen-
tai work was above our criticism
but not above our appreciation.
The "Barnyard' was among the
most popular numbers and the
work of the violin soloist was
high brow" enough for the most
critical. The readings were ex-
ceptionally good and some of the
singing numbers were very we'll
given. All together the evenings
program was thoroughly enjoyed
by the capacity house present.
The next number is the "Arcad-
IAN Girls" vocal and instrumental
performers and the date is Nov.
28th.

FINEST FALL WEATHER
Finn Lawler Gets Reminis-
cent as He Recalls First
Year In Woods.
Some Sunny November.

Some Sunny November.
We are about to go to press.
The date is Nov. 20 The year is
1923. Get it you will want to use
it again when you tell your grand
children about the warm sunshiny
days of that year.
By-the-way, Finn Lawler, a real
pioneer of this region says he does
not remember such fine weather
since SO, the year he, his dog and
cat, settled near Mole lake. It was
the fine weather and the marvel
lous woods that made him stick.
Later, when Christmas Day
came (the snow had previously
Gomez Finn enjoyed a great dinner
with muskrat, pork and partridge
on the menu, besides BURBERRY and
cranberry pies. Keeping company
were Stockwell, a surveyor, and
Gene Sheppard of Round River
fame, his dog and his cat,-but it's
the weather we were talking
about. Say! there stands the bar
Der at the entrance of his shop,
enjoying cigar and inhaling the
balmy breeze.

MARLOWE NOT GUILTY
Jury in Marlowe Shooting
Case Says Gun was Acct
dentally Discharged.

The case of the State against
George Marlowe for alleged kill
ing of P. j. Morrison on Sept. Is,
has been concluded and the de-
PENDANT found not guilty.
The death of Morrison occurred
late on a Sunday evening when
Morrison, in a Ford car with a
party, and Marlowe, on g. motor
cycle with companion, jockeyed
for possession of the road. Mar
lowe being forced to the side of
the road threatened to shoot Nor,
rison's tire. 1t seems the gun was
not even in Marlowe's hands when
it was discharged and the shot
struck Morrison in the head kill
ing him.
The case was fought out in the
Rhinelander Courthouse before
Judge Reid of the Circuit Court.
Three days were occupied in pan
cling the jury and trial of the
case. Intense interest prevailed.
People packed the courtroom and
some even took their lunches so
as to be on hand for every word.
George Marlowe has brothers in
and in the vicinity of Eagle River
and the families are well known.
P. J. Morrison, Familiarity called
Pete" was also we'll known, and
his home was here until this sum-
mer.

New Richmond Drug Store.

The. new store occupied by the
Richmond Drug Store is surely a
model of convenience, roomy and
brilliant with fixtures. The whole
length of the side walls are oc-
cupied with cupboards, the upper
parts of which have glass doors.
The floors have large glass
cases, seven in number with sew
eral shelves in each case.
The rear rooms are used for pre-
scription materials and warerooms
for supplies in bulk.
The store handles also the Vic
tor photograph and records and

Gods Favor Toward
His People.

Lord thou hast been fav-
orable unto thy land: thou
hast brought back the cap
tivity of Jacob. Thou hast
forgiven the iniquity of the
people, thou hast covered all
their sin.
I'll hast taken away all
thy wrath: thou hast turned
myself from the fierceness
of thine anger. Turn us, 0
God of our salvation, and
cause thine anger toward us
to cease.
Show us thy mercy, o Lord
and grant us thy salvation.
/ will hear what God the
Lord will speak for he will
speak peace unto his people,
and to his saints: but let
them not turn again to folly.
Truth shall spring out of
the earth; and righteousness
shall look down from heav-

PLAN GET TOGETHER?
Father and Son Banquets
Held Elsewhere, Why Not
Here.

We are not surprised but quite
delighted to see that week has
beeen set aside by some organize
tons as Boys Week. In many
towns and cities Boys Week comes
as a sort of elimination to the
work of the year in such organiza-
tions as The Boy Scouts, Sunday
Schools, Y. M C. A. and kindred
clubs, Sometimes a Father and
Son banquet is held, which is US
ually enthusiastically undertaken.
We notice that an Older Boys Con-
ference is to be held in Wausau,
Nov. 80 and Dec. l at which such
men as Judge Backus of Milwau-
kee, President Evans of Ripon Col
lege, Ripon, Wis, will speak.
There is. no more worthy work
and deserving of the sacrifice of
men, business, professional or
tradesmen, than that given to
foster character in boys and young
men. A speaker recently spoke of
father and son as the greatest
firm in the world Recently we
had cause to ask two boys where
they spent Sunday mornings and
both said with my pa" That
speaks we'll for chuminess between
Pa and the kid but in some cases
Pa does not use discretion as to
where he takes his boy, the Ian
guage he uses, or the general
trend of the companionship. Many
boy sticks by Pa as dog does
his master. That boys father has
the greatest job in the world on
his hands and blessed is he who
realizes it.
What do you say of a general
get-together of fathers and sons,
soon. Drop your idea to the ed
itor of this paper.

Changes in Highway System.


The Wisconsin State Highway
Commission met Tuesday, Nov. Is,
and considered the addition Of
$500 miles of roads recommended
by the legislative committee APP
pointed by Gov. Blaine to select
roads in every county for high
ways.
The recommendation for Villas
concerned the road running north
on the east side of Little St. Ger
main lake. This will be a stub
running from No 20 to the state
park beyond Plum lake.
Other changes which closely af-
feet us are the elimination of old
highways between Pelican and
Crandon and between Pelican and
Rhinelander. A new route was
added east of Rhinelander through
Monico to Crandon.
The recommendation will be
placed before the county boards
at their annual meetings.

TELLS OF FIRE HORRORS
James 'Morgan's Vivid Ex-
periences at Menominee
During the Peshtigo Fire.

To hear the thrilling tale of the
Peshtigo fire from the lips of
James Morgan, merchant of adj
vanced years, now retired in Eagle
River, is to live again the awful
scenes and feel anew the dreadful
through those agonizing
days.
Mr.. Morgan said that his broth

er-in-law, Louis Gander, and he
had arrived in the month of June,
1871, from Chicago. The trip had
been made by sailing vessel. The
masters of this vessel Gas others
presumably had advertised a free
trip to men seeking new lands to
begin farming or to those seeking
work in the timber regions of
northeastern Wisconsin. However,
before they were allowed to land
they had to help load the cargo of
lumber. This was at Marinette.
Work was obtained with the
Stephenson Lumber Company in
Menominee, across the river. We
have said that this was in June;
even at that time the air was laden
with smoke of burning forests.
Gradually the fire got nearer and
the smoke thicker so that breath
ing became a matter of difficulty.
At last, October's dry days became
the scene of the holocaust so
thrillingly mentioned in the Oct.
oath. issue of the Villas County
News.
On a Sunday evening, Mr.. Nor
gan said the people went to church
as usual. When the service was
dismissed it was with great diff
Guilty that people breathed at all.
They wended their way homeward.
Not long afterwards, some had
gone to their beds, shouting could
be heard Fire! Fire! everybody
turn Quit" Bucket brigades were
organized, hundreds of men and
pals were requisitioned and sent
in different directions. At this
time the fire had come so near and
the wind was blowing so hard
that burning boards were caught
up and carried hundreds of yards
through the air. These burning
brands started new fires, and the
rush and excitement was confus-
ing beyond description. Looking
upwards, sheets of flame could be
seen darting with the velocity of
the wind, gases seemed to explode
and no escape seemed possible.
On the ground was leveled saw
dust across the surface of the
sandy soil. The dry surface was
scratched aside by the people so
that they could put their faces
against the wet saw-dust beneath
and breathe something other than
smoke for their lungs.
A steam vessel in the bay had
been placed at the disposal of
women and children. Hundreds so
awaited themselves with the hope
that it become a means of saliva
ton by pushing out into the bay,
if necessary. It was found after
wards that the ship had been over
weighted by human beings and
had stuck In the mud, and if it
had been necessary the ship could
not have been moved.
The fire fighting went on with
out abatement from Sunday night
until Thursday at this point. Fin
ally, the freoburned itself out and
with the help of rain that came at
that time, was entirely extinguish-
ed.
Recounting the losses of the
confagration Mr.. Morgan thought
an area of 80 by Is miles must
have been robbed of it's timber;
probably millions of dollars worth.
Few villages, Peshtigo the most
important, lay in the path of the
fire because at that early time

Irish Opera BY German.

1t is strange that one of the most
Irish" of Irish operas should come
from German musician, but 1t Is
nevertheless fact that the typical
Irish opera, "The Lily of Killarney"
was composed by a German, julius
Benedict. But Benedict, says the
Morning Post, was a clever man, and
the Irish idiom in its broad aspect Is
easy to assume. While speaking with
an Irish accent he said many beautiful
things, and the airs "Eileen Mavour-
neen" and I'm lone" would give dis
tinctlon to any opera that dealt In
melody, and sixty years have not
dimmed the charm of Benedict's melo-
dies.

does not touch them, though it keeps
them moist.
Make Il layer cake of three layers,
If the family is small; cut one layer in
half and use for filling half cupful of
whipped cream sweetened and favored.
Put the other two layers together,
using a boiled frosting with chopped
nuts and raisins. This will keep and
be moist for several days and two
cakes will be had at the expense of
time and material for one.
The odds and ends of pastry may be
made into a turnover, using any filling
at hand. or may be baked over patty
pans and used as timbale cases. or may
be rolled out sprinkled with sugar and
cinnamon cut into strips and baked,

boiler. Dip the balls into it one Mt
time, using hatpin or loop of wire If
n chocolate dpper is not at hand. Place
on waXed paper to cool and harden.
Melon cocktail.-Use a good-sized
potato cutter and cut either musk
melon or watermelon into balls. If
muSkmelOn is used II mint or lemon
sauce is delicious; If watermelon, any
fruit sauce like pineapple or orange
and lemon is good. Use tall sherbet
cups which have been dipped after
moistening the inside of the rim in
powdered sugar, then fill with the
chilled balls and the sauce. Garnish
with a sprlg of mint on top of each
when using mint sauce.
EscaIloped Onions and Tomatoes
