DEPENDS ON DEBS.
Great Northern Employees Waiting
Until the A. r. U. Leader Gets
Out of Jail.

Chicago, H., Nov. ga local paper
says that when Debs gets out of jail it
will be decided whether there shall be q
strike on the Great Northern railroad.
According to the labor leaders of the city,
it all depends on Debs. They said they
did not expect any strike to be ordered
Immediately unless the Great Northern
men went out and SO far as they were
advised no action has been taken by the
employees on the question of a strike. =
We will wait till Debs is out of j31,"
said one of the takers, ''and see what
he has to say about it after his reception.
It will be a big one and not confined to
Chicago. A. r. q. men from all over
the country will take part in it."
William A. Burns of the A. r. u. di-
rectory was in consultation with local la
Dor men nearly all day and evening. 1t
is understood they were arranging to
have the sister cities notified of the ar
engagements for the Debs reception and
to have the members of the order adj
vised as to what action might be expected
in case strike is ordered on the North

Rain Proves a Blessing to Farmers
Around Plainfie1d.
West Plainfield, Wis, Nov. 7.ISpe-
cial. THE rain yesterday was the great
est blessing of the season and fires on
the hay marshes have been somewhat
suppressed and if more follows the great
danger from fire will be over It was
the first rain in several weeks and as
the marsh fires are burning two feet deep
more rain will be necessary to fully eX-
tinguish them. Some of the farmers
have been absent on the marshes fight
ing fire for three or four days and nights
at a time and large quantities of hay
have been burned. 1t is the most de-
structive marsh fire known in years.
Burnett Junction, Wis, Nov. 7.-[Spe-
cial. Fire has been raging on the Hori
serious damage has been done to the
hay crop. Fire also caught in the
marsh and meadowland on the farm of

ues to burn A light rain visited this

WATER GETTING LOW.
Neenah and AIenasha Mill Men Cut the
Amount Used.


Amount Used.
Neenah, Wis, Nov. Especial. 1.-The
water power users of Neenah and Me-
nasha held a meeting in the Kimberly,
Clark & Co. office and by unanimous
vote decided to use only 81 per cent. Of
the water allowed them by the govern
ment order. This order, which went into
effect September Is, allowed the water
power on this level 10000 cubic feet
of water per minute until the water had
fallen Is inches below the crest of the
Menasha dam. Since that time the mills
have used the full amount allowed and
as no rain has fallen to increase the head
of water in Lake Winnebago, it be-
came necessary to curtail the amount OF
water drawn. Sunday the water was
less than two inches above low water
mark. The millmen are determined to
preserve the head of water in the lake,
and unless cOpiOus rains soon come will
voluntarily shut off the water altogether
and return to steam power. This Will IN
volye much financial loss, as paper made
by steam power costs about 20 cents on
the 100 pounds more than when made by
water power.
A prominent paper manufacturer here
states that this loss must be borne by
the manufacturers in the Fox River val
ley, because as there is no combine
among paper manufacturers the man
whose facilities permit him to make pa
per the cheapest, sets the price. AS
result Of low water on all rivers where
pulp is made it is impossible to obtain
enough of that article to keep the mills
supplied. The output of paper in the
Fox River valley is at present 80 per
cent. less than it would be if pulp could
be obtained. The price of pulp has in
creased from 40 to so per cent, while
the price of paper has increased only
from to 10 per cent. and that on the
cheaper grades only.

FIRES BREAK OUT AGAIN.
Damage will be Heavy in Jackson Coun-
ty Unless Rain Comes.


Black River Falls, Wis, Nov. g.
Especial. Forest fires that devastated
a greater portion of the eastern part of
Jackson county last summer are again
breaking out and are burning fercely
east Of this city, though no great dam
age has been done beyond the loss of
quite large amount of hay. The loss
will be great unless rain soon comes, as
the entire country is as dry as finder
and nothing can stop the flames when
once started. Many million feet of logs
are on the sideways since last winter
and they are dry and infammable and
stand a good show of a total loss should
the fire spread.
Plainfeld, Wis, Nov. 5.-[Speciall-
The farm residence Of Joseph Ostrander,
situated about five miles northwest of
this place, in the town of Pine Grove,
burned yesterday, causing loss of
about $500. The fire originated from a
defective chimney. The house was oc-
cupied by William Ostrander, who lost
nearly all his household goods.
Lodi, Wis, Nov. Especial. DE
structive fires are raging in the marshes
northeast of this city. Much damage
has been done to hay in the lowlands.

WANTED THE BIG MEET.
Appleton Wheelmen will Make
Bid for the Annual Gath

Appleton, Wis, Nov. 5.-[Special.]-A
club of league wheelmen was formed in
this city last evening with a charter
membership Of thirty-fye. Much en-
thusiasm was manifested and the mem
bership is expected to be increased to
100 at once. A determined effort will
be made to secure the state bicycle meet
for Appleton next summer, in when
event a guarantee fund will be raised,
track accommodations increased and ev-
cry effort exerted to make the meet the
largest and best yet held.
Appleton is the center of the populous
Fox River valley district and by reason
of it's ready access would draw larger
crowds to the meet than for three years
past. The hotel accommodations are
ample and the town a favorite with the
wheeling push" throughout the state.
It is believed the effort to locate the
meet here will be successful.

A CLEVER ENGINEER.
Sacrifices Baggage Car to Save Passen-

Dallas, Tex. Nov. 5.-The southbound
train on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
and the Missouri. Kansas & Texas rail-
ways, both tried to make a crossing at
the same time at about $50 o'clock yes
terday morning. The Katy" engine got
across first and the engineer, seeing that
the Santa Fe engine was going to strike
his train, very skillfully stopped the bag
gage car over the crossing to receive it.
The 'Katy" baggage car was smashed
up and the smoker attached derailed and
turned half over. The engine and other
coaches remained on the track. The
engine of the Santa Fe was derailed,
but the rest of the train remained on the
track. Several members of the two
crews and number of passengers re-
ceived nervous shocks and were consider
ably shaken up, but nobody was serious
~ injured. The blame for the collision
has not been located. The men on both
trains claim that they complied with the
requirements of the law.

a petition has been filed with County
Clerk Dean. Carefully revised, it con-

under 5000 this is clear majority, and
