"lh G. Burnett, the dem Hcratic candidate
for sheriff, was taen violently i'll at Clear
brook. He had all the symptoms of Asiatic
cholera, and for an hour or two it was
feared he would die. They finally gave
him dose Of Chamberlain'S Collie, Cholera
and DIarh9a Remedy, which revived him
until hysictau. arrived" That is pre-
cisely what the manufacturers of that
medicine recommend for cholera. Send
for a ply sician but give their medicine
until the physician arrives. If cholera
becomes prevalent in this country next
summer this preparation will be in great
demand because it can always be depended
upon. For sale by j. II. Pickett and Green

EVERYTHING GIVEN DEAD AWAY.

An Jndiscreet Police Captain and the
Press Flush the Game.
Captain McRae, of the Superior force,
had not been made confidant in the plans
that were matured and knew nothing of
the sensation that was brewing until he
was told of it by one of the Chicago men.
The latter, coming to police headquarters
in the absence of Chief Simons, very nat
urally told the captain something of his
mission, and would have told everything
but for the appearance of Detective Earn
shaw, who prevented him.
Acting ON this hint McRae soon had sub
stantially the whole story. and in conf
dence told to some one outside the police
force of the presence of the secret service
men and their object in Superior
The Gang should Thank the Papers.
The news came to the local papers and
was published yesterday afternoon Nc
Rae's action precipitated the work of the
police. The captain was at once dismissed
from the force by Mayor Scott, but this
action did not suppress the story. Porter
was tele2raphed in the morning that the
news was out, and asking for instructions.
He replied: Arrest men and secure outfit
il possible Mclean, who appears to be
among the ringleaders, was captured before
he could give any alarm, and he has not
been allowed to see or to communicate with
any one in any way since his arrest.
Ordered General Roundup.
The other officers received the same order
and it is hoped that McRae and the report
ers have not spoiled everything 1t is re-
ported that prominent business man of
Superior is connected with the crime and
that the full Developments will prove a
sensation of the first magnitude. II is
understood also that the actual working
headquarters of the gang was located near
South Range, about fifteen miles from SUI
perior, where claim had been taken up
and where, in hut located in a lonely
spot in the pine woods. the mint was set
up and the coins turned out in immense
quantities

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis. Dec ga gang
Of counterfeiters which has flooded the en-
tire country for several months past with
the most dangerous issue of bogus silver
money that has been uttered for years has
been located in Superior The first arrest
was made early last evening, and Frank
Mclean, a metal worker who came to
Superior about year ago from st. Cloud,
is now behind the bars in this city's Jail,
and detectives and police are searching in
every direction for other members of the
gang, who are scattering right and left
Similar action has been taken in other
cities where the coin has been uttered, and
it is hard to say how many men will be
soon under arrest for connection with the
gang.
Twenty Sleuths the Hunt.
When the bogus coins were first set in
circulation it was recognized by the secret
service that dangerous new counterfeit
was out, and every effort of the officials
was made to locate the men who were the
authors of them. At least twenty of the
hest men in the United States detective
service have been detailed on the case from
time to time and are all at work upon it
now. For weeks nothing was discovered
excepting that the coins of white metal.
and particularly well executed, were being
sent out in greater and greater quantities,
but nothing was learned as to the wherea.
bouts of the counterfeiters.
The Trail Struck at Last.
A few weeks ago Detective Earnshaw,
chief of the secret service in Superior, dur
ing a search for stolen goods in a petty
case of theft, discovered entirely by acct
dent lot of dies which had evidently been
used in the manufacture of counterfeit
money. He communicated at once with
Chief Drummond, of the secret service,
and q man was sent out here to look up
the find. Reinforcements of detective
were sent on and Thomas J. Porter, chief
OF the United States secret service, was
here Monday himself and laid out the plan
ct action. He then returned to Chicago
and directed operations from there.
Had the Gang Located.
The gang by this time was well located.
IL had ramiticatlons extending into every
state and nearly every prominent city in
the United States. The chief was anxious
to make grand coup and capture the
whole crowd at one stroke and he left his
men on guard waiting the word for action.
Every man known TO have any connection
with the gang was put under police sur
veillance. But the best laid plans of mice

In refusing to rs-appoint Mrs Williams

Mrs, Williams was the last one Of

ers better. That has not proved true in
prActice The women have not introduced
any reforms; no better methods have

and the business Of the board has simply

The women have attended to the

faithfully than the average school com
missioner, but no more faithfully than
the best men on the board. They have
not done so we'll indeed. They have not
distinguished themselves In any way and
majority OF the teachers prefer men
commissioners. They prefer manly
justice TO womanly intuition.
Women have proved remarkably sue
cessful and efficient as teachers; they
have usurped the places Of the men
teachers easily and everywhere. because
Of the better results from their superior
qualifications. II is ne discrsdit TO the
womanly intellect, nor is 1t any reflection

The effect OF this failure Is not 10 re-
