PAST AND FUTURE TIMBER VALUE

EDITOR HERALD:-Your recent inter-
view with Mf. G. II. Jones, OF Menominee,
Mich, reminds me Of little history.
About nine years ago now ! sold to this
same Mr.. Jones and his partner, Mr..
Ramsey, body Of 10000 acres Of pine
lands In Langade county, Wis, for $50
OOO or $500 per acre. ! had recently paid
$50 900 for the lands. Expert estimaters
claimed that the lands would cut 5O,OO0,-
900 feet. Now listen to this short history
Of nine years. Mr., Jones told me in
visit which had with him when he was
here, that they refused an offer Of $4,000
for three fourth, of one section, $50 acres,
Of this same land. and today fair aud
reasonable market value Tor this same
body Of land, II intact Hs when ! sold u,

will produce four times as much timber
as any Ike acreage IN the lands referred

"a MODEL HUSBAND" COMING
JOHN Dillon to Present His Funny New
Play at Lighthouse Theater

JOHN Dillon to Present His Funny New
Play at Lighthouse Theater
"a Model Husband" is the title of
John Dillon's new play which Is TO be
produced at Lighthouse theater next
Tuesday evening. 1t Is from the pen
Of the well known author, &. L. Dazey,
and it is said TO be far superior to any
thing Mr.. Dillon has appeared III Tor
years. =,
The story deals with the fortunes and
misfortunes of New York stock
broker who has long experienced the
unpleasant restraint placed upon him
by his strong minded and jealous wife.
After many years OF feminine reign
during which time the henpecked
husband has continued to say Eyes, my
dear,n to every command from his
better half, the wife ventures to leave
him alone while she goes away on "A
visit. This proves a turning point III
the husbands career, which leads to
the many ridiculous incidents ana
/ laughable situations which befall the
"Model Husband" lie reckles-ly y
takes advantage Of his freedom from
petticOat government To have what he
STYLES "a good tme.n He passes him
self off as a single man, attends balls
clubs, operas, etc, and leads ms
younger associates a lively race oi
| gaiety.
The many complications arising from
the husbands sailing under false color
and from his practice Of deception t'
avoid exposure are most ingeniousll
worked out by the author, who finally
brings about a happy reconciliation
for an ending after seeming hopeless
ness.
Mr.. Dillon il delighted with his new
comedy, and fairly revels in his .dua
role of a henpecked husband and ga.
deceiver.
The supporting company has beel
carefully selected 10 suit the require
ments of each character in the play
thus insuring perfect performance

The Dead Statesman

WAsHINGToN, DC, Jan. 2S-Closely
drawn blinds on the Blaine mansion,
the air of quetude prevailing the sur
roundings, the Grape on the bell knob
and the absence Of the newspaper
watchers who for seven weeks have
remained uninterruptedly on duty day
and night within sight Of the house,
are the only visible signs that the long
expected end has come. The pail
bearers will be personal friends Of the
dead statesman. Admission to the
Church of the Covenant, where the
services will be held, will be by card,
and after allowing the seats which have
been assigned to the family and i'm
mediate friends, to the president aud
cabinet and to the diplomatic corps,
who will attend unoflicially, there will
be very little room left. kilograms Of
coincidence from every part Of the
United States and from foreign
countries continue TO pour in. There
is apparently an endless chain Of mes.

Ohleschlager is that they were return

had drawn S9l, back pension money.
On their way home they stopped in
for drinks, and by the time they
reached the spot where the murder
was committed they were in a state of
semi.intoXication.
Reaching the bridge, a man carrying
large stick as a cane confronted him.
Without saying a word he raised the
club and struck at Ohleschlager, but
missed his aim, only grazing him on
the arm. The stranger then turned to
Waldrige and struck him blow with
his club on the left temple, telling HIM
to the floor Of the bridge.
He repeated the blow, crushing In
