TOWN is WITHOUT A WOMAN.
A Village in Wisconsin Where No
Member of the Fair Sex Lives.

EAGLE, Wis, Jan. 20.-The little
hamlet of Affection, Jefferson county,
enjoys the distinction of being the only
Wisconsin settlement of any size with
out woman resident or inhabitant.
The village was plated a year ago,
Immediately settled. and named after
Alice Aspinwall Metcalf, daughter of
j. A. ASpinwall one of the very first
settlers of the county.
At present it has a star route" mail
service daily, a dry goods and grocery
store, butter and cheese factory, black
smith and repairing shop, and a resi-
dent population of perhaps a hundred
men. 1t is known as "the town with
out woman"
The town is of historic interest be-
cause of its location within the limits
of the ancient canal strip of 1910, a
ten-mile wide tract of land extending
from Milwaukee to Rock river, in which
the even sections of land were given
to Wisconsin territory providing a canal
were dug connecting Milwaukee and
Rock river, for the convenience and
necessities of commerce when WiScon-
sin had not a single railway.
In those days land purchasers in this
canal strip paid $3.50 per acre for
land in the odd sections and $1.25 per
acre for land in the even sections, pur-
chasing the latter from the state.
There still reside near Affection two
of these first settlers, j. K. Porter and
wife, who in 1874 purchased eighty
acres of their farm from the general
government and pre-empted another
adjoining eighty acres in the canal
strip" territorial lands.

mia, and Jim Hall, of Australia, in a
twenty-round bout at catch weights,

corner. Hall followed in a minute with
Sam Fitzpatrick, Jack Fogarty, Benny
Murphy and Tim Scanlon, of Pitts

be 161 pounds while Hall turned the
scales at 16O Hall looked to be the
more confident Of the two. Both men
stripped in excellent condition and

had a decided advantage in height and

queer symptoms in the Mankatn
Mans Case in Chicago

Mans Case in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 2O.-The News
says, regarding the disappearance
from the Leland hotel of John A. Will
ard, and his subsequent discovery at
the Palmer:
AT an early hour, shortly after mid
night, Mr.. Willard walked into the
Palmer house alone and asked for a
room. Shortly after he was domiciled
he rang for a bell boy and ordered
some whisky. After drinking the
whisky Mr.. Willard passed into semi
conscious state. All efforts towards
arousing him eXerted by his friend,
Mr.. Dukes, proved fruitless, and Dr.
Vile was called. Mr.. Dukes met the
doctor at the door and said that a gen.
tleman within who had never been
addicted to drink was seriously af-
fiicted
Or. Vile made an examination Of
the unconscious man. The conclusion
was that Mr.. Willard has been on a.
protracted celebration, has been drugged
and robbed, or else struck on the
head by thugs and his property taken.
A great bruiSe, almost a cash, across
the forehead. would seem to corrob-
crate the latter theory. His clothes
were neither torn nor bedraggled, as
the case would be had he been robbed
in the street. Every pocket was empty
Valuable papers, which Mr.. Dukes says
must have been on his person, had dis
appeared. He carried but little money
A large diamond ring which he wore
still made its presence known by the
gold band on the finger, although the
setting had been removed. 1t may be
that the man was decoyed into a room,
then drugged and robbed. He lay in
a semi-conscious condition during the
whole afternoon"

VERY PROPER IDEA.
WINDSOR TOBOGGAN CLUB PRE-
SENTS A HANDSOME TROPHY
TO CURRIERS'
TO BE CONTESTED FOR HERE.
MUCH INTEREST TO ST.
PAUL.
FIT OPENING FOR A CARNIVAL
Is the Programme of Curling and
Other Winter Sports Arranged
for Today.

The Windsor Toboggan club, in the
old days the peer of any carnival Or
ganization in the country, has renewed
its right to a foremost rank among
similar orga nizations by securing for
the Northwestern Curling association
a trophy such as is rarely set before
1t as an incentive to jealous effort.
1t is a solid silver punch bowl, with Ia
die, all enclosed in a brass-mounted
case, the whole costing not less than
5000, and it will be presented formally
to the officers of the association at the
Windsor hotel this evening.
One of the conditions of the gift, and
the only one, is that it shall always be
contested for in ST. Paul. Any club in
the Northwest may win 1T, but its vic
tory shall be on st. Paul ice, and it's
dedication on such a basis is not an
improper feature of such a carnival
as the people of st. Paul have planned
to begin today.
Today's festivities will begin with
the curriers' bonspiel at 10 a. m. A
large number of visitors are in the
city, ice is in good condition and all
interested are anticipating much gen
uine sport. The fact that the curling
Duluth have not been returned by the
club from that city may place the
local curriers' at a disadvantage. II
was thought by the members last
night, however, that the stones will be
sent down in time to be used at his
mornings bonspiel, and the success
and enjoyment of that event will be
in keeping with the other events Of the
carnival. The first draw will occur at
at the club house on Raspberry ISL
and, where the curriers' will meet. 1t
is now anticipated that there will be
over dozen Kinks in attendance. Win
nipeg, SO far as known, will send four,
skipped by Martin, Fortune, Kelly and
McDermaid. Rat Portage will send
down two, skipped by Drury and
Thompson. Portage Ia Prairie will send
several Col. Chantler will bring down
a couple from Duluth, and there will
be a number from Minneapolis, in adj
dition to the numerous local represen-
tation. That there will be a great
many on hand is an assured fact, as
numerous pledges were given at Du-
luth, and the boys do not want to miss
the fine sport. After the draw on
Raspberry island the curriers' will at
once proceed to Fort Karnival and
join with the carnivaliers in the sport
at that place.

CARNIVALs ARE VICToRs.
At Least the Polo Team of That
Name Wins.

The Carnival polo team won it's first game
OF the season last night, defeating the Fort
Smelling aggregation in twenty-six minutes of
sharp, clean playing. The spectators were
very liberal with applause when the good
plays were made. The team playing of both
teams was very good, and the Improvement
in the Smelling play very noticeable. The first
game was scored by George Mcdonald Of the
Carnivals, after eleven minutes play. and the
second by Larson, CT the Snellings after four
minutes play, which was made from pretty
drive from the center of the ice. The third
game was scored by Eddie Murphy on nice
pass from Mcdonald, after fourteen minutes
OF good playing, and the fourth and last game
by Mcdonald.
The most notable feature of the game was
the playing of young George Mcdonald, as this
was his first match.
These games played were part of the league
games for which the manager of the Aurora
rink has offered three handsome prizes: First
prize, gold medal; second, silver, and third
bronze.
The rink was well lighted last night, and the
game was only one of the many games that
will be seen there during the season.

that Jack" Cherry, the clever travel

He is resting quietly at Kirksville,
