Stevens Point Daily Journal. FOURTH YEAR. STEVENS POINT, PORTAGE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1898. FUNERAL AT ST. PETER'S.

Remains of Private Frank Pasternacki Interred With Every Mark of Honor and Respect. The remains of Private Frank Pasternacki, accompanied by Lieut. Carpenter and Corporal Sherwood, arrived at the Central depot at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. A large crowd of people were there to meet the body, including the little local band of furloughed soldiers of the in Spanish the hearse war. and The the body soldiers was placed in command of Lieut.

Carpenter. With the soldiers ahead, followed by the hearse, the procession moved down town along Strongs venueand disbanded at Boston's undertaking rooms. After the remains were amined and prepared for burial they were taken to the home of the deceased's father, Frank Pasternacki, sr, at 517 North First street, where the body lay until 3 p. the hour set for the funeral service. Shortly after 1 o'clock the crowd began to surge toward St.

Peter's church on North Second street and Fourth avenue and by 3 o'clock there were upwards of 2000 people in and about the church. It was probably the largest funeral ever held in Stevens Point. It being Sunday, everyone who wished was free to go. At 3 o'clock the body was removed from the house and carried by the pall bearers to the church, halfa block distant. The pall bearers were Albin Kryger, August Boyer.

John Okray, Adam Boyer, John Lukaszivig, and Jos. Worzella. The procession was headed by the altar boys, Rev. L. J.

Pescineki, Rev. W. J. Rice and Rev Jos. Shemmer, the soldiers and an unusually large number of the Grand Army, of which the father of the deceased is a member.

Seats were reserved in the church for the two military bodies. The church was very handsomely decorated in red, white and blue and the handsome Gothic altar, trimmed in ribbons and plants, was lighted with sixty-five tapers. Each of the side altars was also lighted and over each was draped the American flag. Large flags screened each of the confessionals and were draped over the communion rail, extending toward the center of the church. Bunting was festooned from the chandeliers and along the walls and front of the balcony.

The casket was also covered with a flag. The vesper service for the dead was sung responsively by the priests and choir. The choir also sang a burial hymn in Polish Before the body entered the church some of the older members sang the usual Polish funeral chants responsively, the men giving one line and the women the next. In the country these chants are sung along the road as the procession goes to the church or cemetery. At the conclusion of the vesper service Rev.

Pescinski made a short address in Polish. When the service was over the funeral procession proceeded to St. Peter's cemetery where the interment took place. Nearly 1,000 persons took the long walk up to the cemetery and many others rode in carriages. At the grave Father Pescinski conducted the services of the church.

A salute of three rounds was fired by a squad of six soldiers in command of Corporal Sherwood. Miss Ethel Rogers gave the bugle call for taps, thus closing the ceremony. Mrs. Paster-acki has been completely prostrated by the shock of her son's death and is confined to her bed. She was unable to attend the funeral services.

All the rest of the family including, Mrs. Waszko and Miss Katie Pasternacki of Chicago and Paul Pasternacki of Ironwood, were present. The vesper service was sung very beautifully by a special choir accompanied by the strains from the magnificent organ as played by one of the Sisters. The Polish song sung was the national anthem entitled The interior of the church was decorated by the Ladies of the Auxilliary and the young people of the church. The grave was also lined in white and decorated in smilax and ferns by the young people.

The usher- were A. J. Kujawa, Stephen Worzella, N. Kitowski, L. Jaworski, Ed.

Raisner, Ed.

There should be no question as to what the will do.

They should stand equarly upon the platform and speedily enact the reforms therein demanded into law. The Republican member who does contribute his party's to the consummation of the parts pledges in this respect should ba everlastingly and be will be. The pass evil must be abolished, all classes of property must be made to assume their fair share of the burdens of taxation, lobbyists must be made to take back seats, and there must be the strictest economy in the management of public affairs. This is what the Republican party has promised; this is what the people expect, and have a right to expect at the hands of the next legislature. Geo L.

Ryerson is another Journal office graduate who was honored at the polls at last week's election. He is now editor of the Reynolds, North Dakota, Enterprise, and was elected clerk of the court of Grand Forks county. A Bismarck Duel. A duel i in which Bismarck was once engaged had a very amusing origin. It occurred when he was chief secretary of the Prussian legation at Frankfort.

He went much into society, and one Christmas attended a big ball. During the height of the festivities Bismarck's attention was directed to an exceedingly pompous individual who strutted about the room. This was a M. de Clancy, a noted French duelist. Later on this important individual took part in a dance, but having omitted to leave his hat at the proper place had perforce to hold it out almost at arm's length while he danced.

The spectacle tickled Bismarck immensely, and as the Frenchman came sailing majestically along Bismarck stepped forward and dropped a coin into the hat. A duel was one of the next day's events. Though it was with pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt, while his adversary was wounded. Seeing the Sights. Even in these days of liberal education young women sometimes show how confused are the ideas shut up in their heads.

Illustrative of this i is the naive blunder which Edmondo de Amicis recounts in his story of a voyage from Genoa to Buenos Ayres: The captain of the steamer which numbered the charming young blunderer among its passengers met her one morning and said: "Signorina, we cross the tropic of cancer "Oh, indeed!" she cried, with enthusiasm. "Then we shall see something at last." A Wedding Announcement. This is how the editor of the Humboldt (Kan.) Herald recently announced his marriage: "Mr. F. A.

McCarthy (that's us) and Miss Nannie Fisher (that's more of us) were united in marriage Wednesday, July 27, at 10 a. m. The ceremony was followed by a sumptuous repast, which we have only 8 faint recollection of. Some way events seemed to crowd on each other then, and God has given us the best earthly thing within his gift. The joy in a sweet wife is too great to be described- -too sacred to be spoken of." Too Much Eating.

Gluttony has its victims, hardly less numerous than other vices. To overeat is to overburden the digestive organs to such an extent that it will be impossible for them to perform their duties properly. Deleterious products are created, and health is finally destroyed. A prominent judge used to say such men dig their graves with their teeth--and it is so. On the other hand, there are those who eat too little.

All extremes are evils that experience should govern. -Exchange. An African Mother-in-law. A native has been committed to the high court for trial for mutilating his mother-in-law by cutting off her ear. The native averred that his motherin-law had attempted to entice her daughter away from him, her lawful husband, to some other native, and he took the extreme measure of cutting off her ear as a gentle hint to mind her own business.

The Stevens Point Line and Team Work Prove too Much for the Oshkosh Eleven. Saturday's was the first game the Stevens Point Normal ever won in a contest with the Oshkosh school on Osbkosh grounds. Stevens Point won by her superior line and by honest, unselfish, concerted team work. A hard and fast player himself Capt. Manz got out of his team everything there was in them, and they work without jealousy or friction under his direction.

For the line, Cowan, Soper and Sager worked together perfectly, all three being active at breaking through and tackling behind the line. Cowan snaps the ball with accuracy, while he has a fashion of making life miserable for the opposing center and quarter when they put the ball in play. Sager had a great eye for the ball in the Oshkosh fumbles. Karnopp at end played his usual strong game. Mathe was out of condition but showed plenty of pluck for a lame man, and Miles, who succeeded him, stopped the end runs in great shape.

Smith got into the game as usual, while the other ba kg hit the line hard. Thompson especially went through it like gossip through a sewing circle. For Oshkosh, Tracy, Down and Runnoe did excellent uphill work, while Houghton and Senn carried the ball well. The day was ideal for football and a large crowd turned out. The Oshkosh Normal girls came out in gaily decorated four horse wagons, and the faculty drove out to the grounds together expecting to cheer their team to victory.

Luck was with Oshkosh on the toss and Argyle kicked off. The ball was advanced to the Oshkosh 30 yard line. After a short gain or two Senn tried the Point's right end for 20 yards, and there Oshkosh was tied up for three downs. Then the Pointers through the agility of Sager, Mathe, Karnopp, Thompson, Manz and Smith made the first touchdown. Score Stevens Point 6, Oshkosh 0.

Houghton kicked to Thompson who made 25 yards by a hard run. Bradford made a gain of 10 yards and Soper hit the line for three. Here Oshkosh braced and put up their strongest defense of the game; they got the ball on downs and Senn made seven yards. Houghton circled the end for 20 yards and the pigskin was on the Point's two yard line. Houghton made the di-tance in the next down and Senn kicked a very difficult goal.

Score Stevens Point 6, Oshkosh 6. Argyle kicked off and Oshkosh fumbled the ball on their 40 yard line. Sager got it and Argyle made a good gain of 10 yards. Mathe was held, but Karnopp joked the end for 15 yards where Tracy threw him on the 15 yard line. After short gains by Sager and Karnopp Bradford went the necessary three yards for a touchdown.

Goal was failed. Score, Stevens Point 11, Oshkosh 6. After the next kickoff Karnopp and Argyle were going down the pike in good style when the Point lost the ball, but by good strong plays. the Point boys held them for downs and when the half ended it was the Point's ball on their own 10 yard line. Score, Stevens Point 11, Oshkosh G.

The second half was different. The visitors seemed to be just getting into the game. Miles went in at right end. After losing the ball for offside play the Point regained it on downs, and Brad ford and Nelson made 10 yards each, Soper took 5, and the pile was BOOn on the Oshkosh 25 yard line. Here the Point made a hole as big as a ten cent bus in the Osbkosh line and Thompson utilized it for 15 yards and soon went over for a touchdown.

Through a technicality the boys lost their chances for goal. Score, 16 to 6. Karnopp caught the kickoff and made 20 yards. It was then steadily taken down the field by Thompson, Karnopp and Argyle, the latter taking his turn at a touchdown. He failed goal.

Score, Stevens Point 21, Oshkosh 6. It now became so dark that play was almost impossible. The visitors were sifting through the Osbkoah line 7 or 10 yards at a jolt when time was called on account of darkness. No players were seriously injured, though quarterback Green of Oshkosh was pounded up badly, and Bradford and Argyle, both of whom played hard ball, were down once or twice. Bradford strained his arm in tackling Houghton.

Score, Stevens Point 21, Oshkosh touchdowns for Point, Karnopp, Argyle, Thompeon, Bradford. For Oshkosh goals for Stevens Point, Argyle; for Oshkosh, Senn; umpire, McCaskill; referee, Jones; time keepers, Werner, Brown; linemen, Lund, Larish. The boys were given quarters at Hotel Lexington and were tendered a reception at the Normal in the evening. Ice cream and cake were served and the visitors were furnished elaborate entertainment in the shape of fencing, boxing, club swinging, tumbling and high kicking, besides some fine mu-ical selections. The gymnasium was elegantly decorated in the school colors, and altogether the boys were given a first class entertainment in the city.

IN A HOLD-UP. Fred Olin Has An Experience With Train Robbers. Fred Olin of this city was on the Great Northern train that was held up near Fergus Falls on Thursday night of last week and has written his sister, Miss Clara, an interesting account of the affair, and also sent her a souvenir of the event, consisting of a piece of ribbon that was blown from one of the packages in the express car. Fred was in the sleeper, and heard one of the robbers on the outside say to his companion, "Jack, you had better go in there." The other answered, "No, there are too many passengers in there with revolvers." As a matter of fact, however, Fred had the only revolver in the car and it was in his satchel. None of the passengers were molested, and all the robbers got was $20, which was taken from the engineer, their effort to blow up the express safe proving futile.

The six men engaged in the hold-up have been arrested. Constipation prevents the body. from ridding waste matter. Witt's Littly Early Risers will remove the trouble and cure Sick Headache, Biliousness, Inactive Liver and clear the Complexion. Small, sugar coated, don't gripe or cause nausea.

Taylor Bros. The sooner a cough or cold is cured without harm to the sufferer the better. Lingering colds are dangerous. Hacking cough is distressing. One Minute Cough Cure quickly cures it.

Why suffer when such a cough cure is within reach It is pleasant to the taste. Taylor Bros. When you ask for DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve don't accept a counterfeit or imitation. There are more cases of Piles being cured by this, than all others combined. Taylor Bros.
