Hon. Thomas G. Merrill, ex-Repub-
lican governor Of Montana, speaking
yesterday of the Denocratic-Po pulist
fusion in Idaho, said:
1T serves Senator Dubois right. His
conduct since the St. Louis convention
has been for self-interest instead of for
the interest of the silver cause. Instead
Of endeavoring 10 unite the silver
forces of adj the parties for Bryan, as
Senator Teller has done in Colorado,
he has eXerted himself to keep the Re-
publicans together and to prevent a
fusion of the Democrats and Popu1ists
In the effort to be reelected as Re
publican Had he been capable of
sinking his selfish wishes and worked
to unite the silver Republicans with
he could have effected a grand fusion,
which would have left mo possible
doubt Of the success of the Bryan
ticket in Idaho, and the Republicans
would have been given equal repre-
sentation in the state Offices with the
other parties. Instead, however. he
thought he saw an opportunity OF car
rying the whole Republican ticket by
keeping the Democrats and Populists
r-ir
die the interests of Bryan to do it.
AS it is, he has failed to prevent the
fusion, which I think will assure the
election of Bryan electors, and has
been his own undoing, and because of
his arbitrary course. [ am glad of it.
Chairman Arthur H. Parsons, of the
Republican county committee, received
a letter yesterday from a brother in
Iowa, which states that the writer has
made a careful investigation Of the sit

will be exceedingly close, with silver
having shade the best of it.
When Assistant County Attorney
George L. Nye decided that, being
candidate for the attorneyship, he
could no longer remain in office con-
SlStently, owing to the fact that his
candidacy placed him in opposition to
his chief, Notwithstanding that Mr..
Whittemore requested him to remain,
he wrote very courteous letter of
resignation to his superior By so do
ing he gave the man who has en-
deavored to guard the taxpayers in

scurrilous reply, entirely characteristic
of the man, which he did, and

THREE MEN ROASTED.
Unknown Wanderers Make Their
Bed In a finder Box and
Are Crenated

Ashland, Wis, Dec 26.-[Special.] /
The sawmill and planning mill of the
Sutherland Lumber company burned at
5 o'clock this morning. The total loss
is S1o, 1000; insurance $4,000
When the fremen were at work they
took out a man badly burned, wan
derer who had evidently gone to sleep
IN the boiler room. He was half crazed
with pain and in his rawlings mentioned
D partner. A search was made and the
eharred remains of another man were
found. When the coroner was about
30 put the remains in a coffin the re-
Nalns of still another man were found
underneath the debris only partially
burned. His face was burned SO badly
that it was impossible to recognize the
features. There was a door within four
feet of where the two bodies were taken
out.
The three men had evidently gone to
sleep on the boiler and must have rolled
off in the seething mass of flames. The
survivor was SO badly burned that he
will not live, one arm being burned en-
tirely off.
A coroners inquest will be held this
afternoon. 1t is thought that the two
dead men are Bill and Jack Noonan,
who are said to be cousins of Jack Car
keek, the champion wrestler. 1t is sup
posed the fire originated in the billing
room. The plant employs 100 men win
ter and summer and was not running
yesterday. The fire was checked before
it got into the lumber pits, where a
large quantity of valuable lumber was
piled

the boys he returned to where he had

FARMERS ARE NERVOUS.
Steps Taken to Secure Patents on Land
Around KenOgha.

II
Around Kenosha.
Kenosha, Wis, Dec 24-[SpeciaL i
An effort is now on foot to secure the
proper movement on the Washington
land office by the farmers of this county
to prevent, if possible, the working of
the schemes of land sharks now that the
tact OF the non-lssuance of the patents
by the government to their lands has
been discovered. All the difficulty which
seems to have risen before the prosper
Gus farmers of today is the result of
wholesale carelessness. Away back in
the early days when the land Office was
IN Milwaukee and the land of this sec
ton was being taken up under the pre-
emption laws was when the mistakes
We're made. which today will cost the
occupants of the various pieces of prop
erty without patent at least a good
round sum to perfect their titles, if, in
fact, they do not actually lose the land
and their homes.
1t seems that when the property was
pre-empted the land Office at Milwaukee
issued to the pre-emptor a duplicate GER
tifcate. This certificate was in no sense
Il conveyance. but more a receipt for the
money paid in which specified the tract
of land upon which the money was paid.
In order to secure the patent all that
was necessary was to forward this GER
tlhcate to Washington and demand the
patent. This was done in a few in
stances, but in a majority of cases the
certificates were held or returned to the
land office. Such q return was made in
large number of instances and there
lore there is no record to show the right
OF the party to the property. In MANY
instances these parties who could not
show title have gone on and improved
the land, built substantial buildings and
transferred the property to innocent pur-
chasers. Of course. the abstracts when
made, showed the absence of this link
in the straight chain. but the matter
seems to have excited no special Interest
and was allowed to pass almost without
notice or comment.
There is one large section of the coun-
ty where all these duplicate certificates
were returned and the opportunity is
wide open for some land shark to make
an enormous amount of trouble. OF
course, those who still have these certif-
Gates or can find them of record can still
have the patents issued on them But
those who cannot show them are in a
quandary to know what to do. It may
be possible that they will have to per-
petuate testimony with reference to their
having been in peaceful possession for
many years and are therefore entitled
to the land by right of possession. This
would be q very expensive process and
in the smallest instances would cost over
$3.50.
Some of the finest and most highly cul-
tiyated farms in this section of country
are affected and some Of the most valu-
able manufacturing sites in the city
ditions. 1t is making the farmers hustle
for protection from land sharkism with
greater than political activity. They
will undoubtedly secure an attorney in
Washington to look after the matter as
closely and as quickly as possible.

he began business for himself at Lock
| port, where he remained until 1874, when
| he came to Milwaukee. Beginning with
capital of $50, he opened a grocery
and provision store on East Water street,
| and soon built up the most extensive bust
ness of its kind in the city, his trade
| with the German immigrants being very
large. He frequently agreed to furnish
more goods during a days business than
were in the store in the morning,
During the year 1914, Mr.. Newhall
made his first visit to Prairieville, now
Waukesha. Teams then forded the riv-
er and people crossed on large stones ar
ranged for the purpose.
In 1850 Mr.. Newhall retired from the
provision business, bought the Phillips
warehouse and began dealing in wheat.
The rapid growth of his business necessi-
tated the building of the Badger ware
house in 1854, which at that time was
the largest in the Northwest. During
the. same year he built the following
sailing vessels: D; Q: Dickinson, Mil
well and the NJ. S. Scott. These. with
the Lawrence, Speed and Robert Burns,
gave him what was known as the Badger
line of vessels, the largest on the lakes
His ambition at that time was to start
a vessel load of wheat for Buffalo daily.
The year 1886 witnessed the build
ing by him of the Newhall house, costing
with its site 1852, 600 At that time it
was the largest hotel between Albany
and the Pacific coast. For years it was
the architectural pride Of the city.
Up to 1867 Mr.. Newhall was the lead
ing grain shipper of the Northwest, his
operations in wheat in Milwaukee and
Chicago and in gold and stocks in New
York, involved the use of millions. Sub
sequent business reverses, however, de-
prived him of large fortune.
In 1913 he married Melissa NJ. Tenny
of Orwell, VT, who died in 1855, leaving
six children. The eldest, born in Orwell.
VT, married DR.. A NJ. Helmer, now of
this city. The five younger children
were born in Milwaukee. Of the daugh-
tiers, Mr.. Charles L. Pierce of this city;
Mrs. J. NJ. Whaling of Chicago, and Mrs.
w. B. Douglass of Lockport, n. Y, sur
vive him, as does his sons, Daniel E. of
Buffalo, N. Y, and Arthur T. of this
city.
Since 1874 Mr. Newhan has resided
upon the old Hanford place at Woodside,
he having retired from active business.
During the summer season at Waukesha
he was in the habit of disposing of a
large quantity Of milk daily from his
dairy at Woodside.
His second wife, who survives him,
was formerly Miss Roxana B. Tenny, a
sister of his first wife.

IN ONE BIG COMBINE.
Water P2Wer Interests OF Fox
River Valley to be Con-
SOlidated.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 24.-[Special L
1t now appears that the proposed COM
bine of all the pater power owners, rent
ers and users of the Fox river valley in
one big water power syndicate is prac-
tically an assured fact. A meeting of
interested parties was held here yester-
day afternoon and evening which result
ed in overcoming most of the difficulties
heretofore in the way of the scheme and
nothing now remains but to settle the
minor details of plan of organization.
The work of preparing such plan of
organization has been left to Attorneys
Moses, Hooper and Gabe Bouck of Osh-
kosh and Ruger of GAINESVILLE, who will
report plan of organization to meet
ing to be called later for that purpose.
At the meeting last night $4,000 was
subscribed for waterpOWer at Menasha
which is the key to the situation and on
which the option expires today. The
price of this power is SIT 900 and pledges
were given at the meeting that the re-
naming $27 900 would be raised and
thus practically settling the whole prof.
ect. The sum necessary for the consum-
nation of the whole deal is $135, 900, of
which $50, 900 is to be raised by Me-
nasha owners and 100000 by down
river owners of Appleton, Kimberly,
Combined LOCKS, IlCIle Cnule, Adu-
kauna and Depere. The project, if car
ried out, as now seems certain, will Sc
cure to the combine the exclusive control
of the total flow of the river available
for Waterpower purposes and insure an
equitable division of such flow among the
water users, besides preventing the
waste, providing for storage of water
during the high stages and in every way
conserving the united interests of the
owners and users, besides doing away
with a blanket of lawsuits with which
many powers are at present hampered
1t is believed that through it's opera
in ordinary years eight months of good
water and four months slack water with
no shut-downs, instead of as for sew
eral years past only a couple of months
good water and the remainder slack
with inevitable periods of shut-downs.
1t is generally conceded that the project
is to the interest of the whole valley and
very little opposition now remains in any
quarter and that not formidable.

FIGHT OVER TAXES.
Effort to Declare Assessments of $500
900 at Superior Void.

900 at Superior Void.
Madison, Wis, Dec. 24-There was a
widespread meaning In the decision of
the Supreme court last Tuesday in the
ease of Hiram Hayes VS.. Douglas coun-
ty and city of Superior. In that case
special improvement taxes levied by the
city of Superior in 1891 We're set aside
as void for the reason that Ill them We're
included items which could not lawfully
be the subject of a tax. In holding Mr..
Hayes tax void, the Supreme court has
laid down a rule by which a large pro-
portion of the special assessment taxes
levied by the city of Superior during the
year on which this issue was raised
can be declared Illegal and already At
torneys Spooner, Sanborn, Kerr &
Spooner have been retained by several
of the largest taxpayers of Superior to
are the Superior Consolidated Land com
pany the Land and River Improvement
company and James Stinson. The ag-
gregate taxes of these people, which come
under the ruling, amount to considerably
over $500, 600, and while the basis of
the suit will be to set aside the tax, it
is understood that the real animus of
the action Is not to have the taxes set
aside altogether and thus injure the
credit of the city, but rather a wish for
the arrangement OF an amicable settle
ment whereby these taxpayers can gain
time and pay the special improvement
taxes for the year 1891 in installments
There is another question, too, of vital
Importance in the case, and that is as to
whether some 100000 in special i'm
provement bonds issued to cover a por-
ton of these special Improvements and
toward a sinking fund for the payment
of which a part of this special tax was
to go, are not also invalidated. It is
said that this question is not of great
Importance in regard to the payment of
the bonds, as the city of Superior will
not under any circumstances repudiate
the securities. But should they be de-
clared void it would necessitate their re-
issuance, which would mean not only
considerable trouble but much care to
insure their legality

The three men burned to death in the
fire which destroyed the Sutherland Lum-
Der company's milling plant here yester
day. have been identified as John and
William Noonan and Edward Mulcahy.
The latter was alive when taken out
and he suffered untold agony until death
relieved him two hours later. He re-
covered consciousness long enough to
state his name and give the names of
his two companions, but he could not
give any idea concerning his history or
where he lived. The two Noonans had
been released from jail only two days
previous, having been sentenced as va
grants. It is claimed that Jack and
William Noonan were cousins of Jack
Carkeck, claim agent of the Wisconsin

out the country as the champion Cornish
wrestler The remains will be inferred
by the county unless word is received to-
day from relatives of the dead men,

covered in clearing away debris for re-
building. 1t is thought other bodies may
