(Special )-Mrs. Ferd A. Steffen, 02, wife of a former Juneau County sheriff and retired Elroy businessman, died at a Mauston hospital Thursday evening after a heart attack earlier in the day at her home here in Elroy. Mrs. Steffen was born here July 24, 1894, and was msuYied to Mr.

Steffen on Nov. 25, 1913. Survivors besides lier husband are four Joe's Spirit Was Broken By Senate Censure By JAMES (Associated Press Ween Analyst) WASHINGTON LIV- A liver disease killed Sen. McCarthy but what no medical report will say or show is whether his spirit was broken before he died. He showed every sign of it.

He died 29 months to the day after his fellow senators on Dec. 2, 1954, condemned him for his conduct. And in that time McCarthy, who had made himself a blazing figure, retreated more and more into silence and obscurity. By the time of his death he had become almost a nobody in the news and in the Senate, both of which he had dominated for four years. On the day of his condemnation this writer wrote: censure charges against tem, summed up, come to this: the Senate has standards but he didn live up to them; and there is no excuse for being as rough as he was toward the Senate itself and toward individuals." ti ii ti There is an old Greek theory to explain the tragedy of a life: that it is due to a defect in character he can never overcome and which inevitably leads him to his doom.
