ASHLAND, Wis, March 9.-Interior
Department Agents Allen and Roberts
have been on the Fondulac, Bad River and
other reservations, investigating the al
legged timber frauds, and have gone to
Fiambeau reservations TO finish their
work. They expect to finish the investi-
CATION this evening, and will return TO
Washington next week to make their re-
port. A most diligent inquiry has been
made into matters regarding which infor-
nation was desired by the Secretary Of the
Interior. Mr.. Allen told several Ashland
lodgers that his visits to the reservations
had developed nothing whatever to sub
stsntiats the charges which they were de-
tailed to investigate.

"A RIDE ON A CYCLONE"

The above is the somewhat windy title of novel written by William Hosea BAllou, and pub lished by Belford, Clarke & Co, Chicago. As piece of literary work 1t is certainly unique not to say grotesque The hero takes an impossible ride on a cyclone from Idaho to New York city, land- ing on the roof of the house wherein dwells the heroine of the story and whom he, of course finally marries. We came near saying the story is origi- nal in plot and conception, but on second thought, 1t isn't. It is weak and spotted imitation of Dean Swift, Jules Verne and Frank Stockton; possess ing, however, neither the wit nor charm of narra- tive so characteristic of Swift, the almost thrill ing interest of Vernes writings, yet the droll, quaint, inimitable humor of Stockton. It does, however, contain a we'll written puff for a certain southern railroad company and its lands, and is, besides, the handsomest illustrated cheap novel we have ever seen.
