The families of Carl Wittock, Alex Russell, E. Schumacher and Mrs. Fred Classon are or have been afflicted with diphtheria within the last week but the use of anti toxin all are in a fair way to recovery except the little Wittock child to whom it was not administered until the fourth day, too late to save his life. In the case of the Schumacher boy it was administered earlier and the improvement was rapid.
The
health officer, Dr. Stoelting,
took cultures from both these cases and sent them to the State Hygienic
Labor-atory for examination and has received a statement that
diphtheria germs were present in both cases so there is no question as
to the diagnosis of either case. The state makes these
examinations
free of charge for anyone on request of the health officer so in any
case where the disease is suspected he should be communicated with and
this precaution taken.
The Oconto Odd Fellows and their families had a very enjoyable time at their installation of officers last night when in addition to the regular installation ceremonies of the order veteran's jewels were presented to F. W. John, Anton Conrad, John Slattery, William Smith and Frank Delmer in a well chosen pres-entation speech by J. B. Chase. Speeches were also made by Grand Secretary Hoe and Hon. Charles Barker of Milwaukee. Following the delicious banquet which was participated in by more than two hundred a choice lot of 100 stereoptican views were shown. The occasion was one long to be remembered by those who were present to enjoy it.
WATCHED THE OLD YEAR OUT
The members of the Eastern Star Chapter and a few other friends were invited to spend the last few hours of the old year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hume on Superior street where they enjoyed the evening at flinch, after which refreshments were served and a very pleasant evening ended with Happy New Year's all around as the guests departed for their homes.
A fire occurred on the Nelligan farm seven miles up the state road in Menominee Co., Monday night in which a chicken coop and pig pen were burned and about forty hogs lost their lives. The light on the sky could be seen from this city and those who saw it thought that a farm house was burning.
NO RACE SUICIDE HERE:
Isaac and O. Marcouiller left on the morning train January 1st, for Menominee, Mich., to attend the dinner given by Isaac Marcouiller Sr. to celebrate the birth on December 17 of a baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Max Marcouiller which is the one-hundredth grandchild of the old gentleman who is also father to eight, great grandfather to five and great great grandfather to one child. All present much enjoyed the occasion. Isaac and O. Marcouiller returned Saturday.
Tried to Kill His Wife:
Peshtigo, ,Wis., Jan. 4. Christ Ebsch, an old soldier, about seventy years of age, attempted to shoot his wife, but the shot missed her. He afterward shot himself in the neck, below the ear. He is still living and may recover. He was taken to the Marinette hospital. He has been sick for some time and had grown despondent. His main support is a pension of $8 a month.
The William Bostedt house occupied by Mrs. Bostedt, her grandson, Harry, and the hired girl, was com-pletely destroyed by fire about eleven o'clock New Year's night. Mrs. Bostedt had not gone to bed and on hear-ing a crackling sound upstairs went up only to discover the roof in flames and her grandson who was asleep up-stairs had barely time to escape without waiting for all of his clothing. A few of the contents downstairs were saved and the loss will reach nearly $2000, with insurance of $1250 in L. C. Harvey's agency.
HUNT CASE.
The court reporter at Grand Rapids has completed the writing up of the testimony in the big fraud case of Peshtigo Timber company against Robert O. Hunt et al. and the arguments will soon be heard at Grand Rapids.
JUMPED FROM TRAIN.
On account of new evidence which It was believed would convict Sylvester Le Claire of the burglary of Frank Kenney's house for which he was previously arrested but got clear, he was rearrested at Mountain New Year's day by Deputy Sheriff Johnson and while enroute here on the evening train he asked permission to go to the toilet room at rear end of coach which he entered and a moment later dashed out of the door and jumped from the rear platform. The train was running rapidly and had gone some distance before it could be stopped and backed up. After falling to find any trace of him the train came into the city and Mr. Johnson got a rig and assistance and drove back to hunt for him. The place that Le Claire landed from the train was found near Regan's crossing and he was tracked to the traveled highway where his tracks were lost and no further trace or clue of him has been found. A reward of $25 has been offered for his apprehension.

Therefore
Be It, Resolved by the brethren of Pine No. 188 Free

That
in the death of our late

HOBOES BURGLARIZE.
James McLaughlin and George Coleman, as they gave their names, two supposed tramps took a room at the Megan house Tuesday night and during the night got into one of the other rooms and stole from its occupant a coat, watch chain, pair of shoes and one or two other articles valued at about $16. They were however nabbed by officers Smith and Belongia soon after they left the house in the morning and had the coat with them. The chain had been dropped and shoes left in their room. They were arraigned before Justice Reinhart Wednesday charged with petit larceny, pleaded guilty and were sentenced to thirty days in the county jail. It is suggested that if this class of gentlemen were put at breaking up the stone that are two large to work nicely in the city stone crusher it might be a paying investment not so much on account of the labor performed as because of the tendency to make them take some other route in their meanderings.
Ed Miller, a former partner of Mr. LeBeuf of the Four Corner House of Lena, created quite a little disturbance in that peaceful village last Sunday night. It seems that Miller had been imbibing quite freely during the day and late Sunday evening entered the bar room of the hotel where a number of persons were congregated presented a revolver and exclaimed, "Some of you have got my money" and when asked to explain said he had been robbed of three hundred dollars and he knew someone present had it and unless returned to him at once that he would shoot if they attempted to leave before they were searched. Constable Lucas was notified and appeared on the scene and forced Miller to put his revolver away. Monday Miller swore out a warrant for the arrest of Joe Nicholas with whom he had been scuffling early in the evening charging him with stealing the money. Nicholas was brought before Justice Yeaton, Atty. J. B. Chase appearing for district attorney. Upon motion of Mr. Chase the defendant was dismissed for lack of evidence. The same day Andrew Lory swore out a warrant for arrest of Miller, charging him with "aiming a gun." The warrant was issued by Justice Yeaton. Miller however filed an affidavit of prejudice and the trial will be before Justice Pelkey on Monday, Jan. 25.

Luckenbach, vice president; and Charles A. Best cashier. The same efficient corps of clerks will be retained. That this re-election at the hands of the shareholders was well merited is indicated by the remarkable growth in a little more than three years since it started to an institution with resources of about half a million dollars and as the banking institutions serve in a large measure as an index of the business That this re-election at the hands of the shareholders was well merited is indicated by the remarkable growth in a little more than three years since it started to an institution with resources of about half a million dollars and as the banking institutions serve in a large measure as an index of the business conditions of a community our citizens share in the satisfactions of the share holders.

About five o'clock last Saturday afternoon Bernard Huebscher of Brookside, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Huebscher, died at the hotel in Mountain, the result of injuries received in the morning at Pendleton and Gilkey's lauding. He was employed unloading logs and had removed the corner binders and started to run out of the way from the load when he fell and was squeezed by the logs sustaining internal injuries that caused a hemorrhage near the base of the brain. He was immediately taken to the hotel and Dr. French of Mountain and Dr. Conard of Suring summoned but from the first there was no chance for his recovery and after nine hours of suffering, during which time he was conscious, he passed away. His remains were taken to Suring where they were met by relatives and taken to his home at Brookside, where the funeral was held from the school house Wednesday afternoon and his remains laid at rest in Brookside cemetery. The deceased was a young man of eighteen years and well liked by his associates. He left his home to work in the woods November 6.
DISBARMENT PROCEEDINGS
This
afternoon before Judge Hastings disbarment proceedings were started
against
Atty. Albert Schwittay of this city by the Marinette County Bar
Association.
Shortly after court convened Atty. R. G. Hutchinson, representing the
bar
association, presented a petition asking that Atty. Schwittay be asked
to show
cause why he should not be disbarred from practicing as an attorney in
Marinette
county. The petition was a lengthy one and set forth several instances
of
alleged deceit and fraud. It also accused him of fraudulently
destroying a
court record and replacing it with a false one. The charges were
specified in
detail and related to several divorce cases and also assault and
battery cases.
It was alleged that in some of them Mr. Schwittay had taken retainers
from both
sides.
After
the reading of the
petition, Atty. Schwittay, who took notes during the reading, appeared
before
the court and claimed that Judge Hastings, under a statute passed last
winter,
was prevented from having jurisdiction in the matter. He entered no
denial of
the charges, "deeming it unnecessary at the present time."
The next step will be when the order comes before Judge Hastings for argument, about twenty days hence. Mr. Schwittay said he would demur if the court decided it had jurisdiction, and if necessary he would go to the supreme court with the order, before he would take up any trial of the disbarment proceeding. Most of the members of the Marinette county bar-were present during the reading of the petition.
JAMES DEVAN INJURED
James Devan of Oconto Falls, who was working in the Anson Eldred Company's camp run by Mr. Temple, received a severe injury to his back Wednesday afternoon. He was driving up a hill with an empty sleigh when an empty sleigh above slipped away and in the collision which followed his back was so badly injured that he was taken to his home in Oconto Falls on the evening train.
SOME TRAMPS STEAL
A man giving his name as James Daily was arrested and lodged in the county jail today noon. The occasion of his arrest was as follows: Yesterday he entered the tailoring-establishment of Geo. Bond and asked for some buttons. When Mr. Bond stepped behind the partition to get them Daily picked up six and one half yards of $3.00 goods and made a hasty departure. Officers were notified but all attempts to locate the man failed. Today as Mr. Bond and his sons, Eli and Clarence, were returning from dinner Ed noticed a man on the opposite side of the street that resembled the visitor of yesterday. He and his brother crossed the street and discovered the man with two overcoats which later were found to have been taken from Thiele's tailor shop. Marshal Smith and Sheriff Duncan were called and immediately took charge of Daily, lodging him in the jail.

A NEW TOWN
The
Independent is in receipt
of a letter,
bearing date of January 9, from A. G. Lee, of Philanthropy, Texas, in
which he
says:
"You
might state in your
paper that a deal has been consummated which will result in Intervale,
Marinette county, becoming a town in the future. The name of the place,
however, will be changed to Philanthropy. A Wisconsin branch of the
International Political Specialists' School and the World's Diathetic
Institute, the two proposed world philanthropic Institutes, will be
located
where Intervale now is within the next two years."
We
are informed, by parties with
whom Mr. Lee has been negotiating that about fifty families will remove
here
from Texas and settle on the lands which they recently closed deals for.
What little has been heard up this way about the proposed Institution is very favorable, and if the present plans mature they cannot fail to be a "good thing" for this part of the country as the institutions are said to have excellent financial backing, the people are enterprising and will build up a sprightly little city of substantial public buildings and fine residences. The following clipping is from the Milwaukee Sentinel and may be taken for what it is worth:
Stevens Point, Wis., Aug, 1, 1903.— A. G. Lee, a citizen of Denton, Texas, writes that if the city of Stevens Point will change its name to "Philanthropy" he will secure the location here of two philanthropic Institutions of world-wide interest, backed by unlimited capital, and will mean the expenditure of a "billion dollars first and last." He calls the Institutions the International Political Specialists' School, and the World's Diathetic Institute. A letter of Inquiry addressed to the editor of a leading paper at Denton brings the reassuring answer that " Mr. Lee is perfectly reliable and responsible."—Wausaukee Independent:

The
many Oconto friends of George Arnold and
his wife who is a niece of Mrs. Edward Scofield (wife of the former
Wisconsin Governor
from Oconto) and a frequent
visitor
here
were shocked to hear of his death at L’Anse, Mich., Wednesday
evening. From
yesterday's Marinette Eagle-Star's account of his death we get the
following:
He arrived at L'Anse in the
afternoon before
five o'clock from Ontonagon, where he had been transacting business. He
went to
the company's office in L'Anse to phone the central office in L'Anse.
When he turned
away from the phone he said to Mr. Vick, "Frank I guess I am sick. You
better
open the door. Mr. Vick saw him stagger a little. He opened the door
and then went
to his assistance. He continued to grow a little weaker and
Mr.
Vick took him over to the hotel as soon as
possible where he went to bed.
Dr. McIntyre of L'Anse was called immediately and found Mr. Arnold quite ill, but thought it was nothing serious. Mr. Arnold said to him, "Let me know doctor if I am very bad as I want to notify Mrs. Arnold." But the doctor evidently thought that the attack, which affected the heart, was not serious. Mr. Arnold continued to talk with Mr. Vick, who remained with him. He was conscious almost up to the time of his death and although in distress, he thought himself that he would get over it all right. About ten minutes to nine, Mr. Vick noticed a striking change in his appearance. He went to the bed, saw that something unusual had happened. He immediately called the landlord of the hotel and Dr. McIntyre was summoned. The physician up arrival pronounced him dead. His relatives in Marinette were then notified of the sad occurrence. The cause of death is given as rheumatism of the heart. Mr. Arnold had been working very hard Wednesday, having been on the train most of the day, having visited Greenland and Ontonagon on business. Mr. Arnold at the time of his death was vice president of the C. H. Worchester Co. He was a lumberman and business man of exceptional ability. But it was not as a business man that he was known best. As an upright citizen, devoted to his family and his friends, he was better known. He exemplified the highest type of American citizen in every feature of his life. His cheery countenance, genial ways and great heart bound him by ties of friendship that were dear to everyone that knew him. He was just in the zenith of his career as a successful business man and had never been more contented and prosperous than for several years past. He is survived by his wife and little daughter and they have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their deep affliction.
BAD
WEEK FOR ACCIDENTS: Mountain,

point of view,

He was taken to his home the same day and the funeral held; at two o'clock this afternoon. The deceased was a native of Oconto county, twenty one years of age and a young man of good habits who will be missed by his associates.

FULLY VINDICATED. The Rev. Father Vanier of Coleman who had been charged with abusing his ward was fully vindicated before County Judge Quinlan Monday afternoon and the eleven year old boy whom he was accused of having abused was continued in his custody. In giving his opinion Judge Quinlan commended the priest for the interest and kindness he had showed the little lad, and stated that he was the proper person to bring him up. His evidence showed that father Vanier had spent over $1,000 in educating the boy. He admitted whipping the boy, but said it was for the child's good. He had whipped him just three times since he had him, once for stealing, once for lying and a third time for a graver offense. In each instance the chastisement seemed to be deserved. The Rev. Vanier was very much pleased at the outcome of the case and the fact that the boy was again turned over to him.

John Dagen of Gillett who had been working in a camp near Mountain was robbed of twenty-seven dollars while en route home on the Klondike line last Wednesday evening. Dagen, who had been drinking, fell in with a stranger at Mountain while waiting for the train. The stranger professed much friendship for him and told Dagen he was going to Gillett also and would see he got through safely. Dagen had a check for forty-five dollars and two one dollar bills. He got the check cashed at Mountain just before leaving. An acquaintance of Dagen's who cashed the check asked the trainmen to keep an eye on Dagen and see that the stranger did not steal the money from him. This, the crew did but just before reaching Suring the stranger persuaded Dagen to step into the closet and while in there told him he would see if his money was safe. In doing this he managed to transfer twenty-seven dollars to his own pocket. At Suring the thief left the train and shortly afterwards Dagen discovered his loss.
