The road is going to make another bid for
popularity in that it has decided to carry all
bicycles free between the lake and the Twin
Cities. Other lines over the country charge
for this trouble, but bicycle racks have been
put in the baggage cars and the baggage men
will be prohibited from accepting the usual
fee which goes with transportation of the
Wheel.
The lake season is expected to open this
year at least two weeks earlier than usual
and preparations are being made accordingly.
General Manager Mohler has received word
from New York that the proposed improve
ments about the Lake Park had been ap-
proved and that they could be undertaken at
once. The work will include the introduce
ton of electric light plant into the hotel.

UNABLE TO LET LAND GO.
Tax Spectators Find Way to Make
Easy Money in Wisconsin,

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 1O.-A new in
dustry has been opened Up in Wisconsin, aid
promises to be quite productive. For years,
ever since the first log cut in the state,
it has been the custom of the lumbarmen after
cutting off the pine of a section Of land to per-
nit it to go back to the state, or any one who
might see fit to pay the taxes on it. AS the
most of this land is of sandy nature, and
worth nothing except to grow pine it has
been left to lie fallow and produce a crop of
underbrush, or whatever else nature might
cover it with. Such of the land as had grown
hard wood with the pine makes good farming
land, and great deal of it has been taken up
by settlers, and will in time become some of
the finest farming land in the state. But the
sandy barrens are likely to prove even more
valuable than the farm lands Under the
laws of the state, land sold for taxes can be re-
deemed any time in three years. After that
time the purchaser can, if he so wills, obtain
a tax deed for the property.
The plain intention of the law was to give
these who purchased tax titles a clear title
to their property, but this provision of the
statute is being taken advantage of now to
work new deal which will make the de-
serted sandy barrens yield a fruitful crop of
dollars to the manipulators. Several parties
have purchased the tax titles to these aban-
doned lands and have taken advantage of
the statutory provision to collect the taxable
costs. They can, by carrying the case into
court, secure a judgment that would carry
with it the costs of the suit which in some
cases, Will amount to quite a respectable
sum, and this is just what they have DONE
The owners of the lands have, in every in
stance, offered to give a quit-claim deed to
the property, which would give the present
owners an ironclad title, but the offer has
been invariably refused. What is wanted is
not clear title, but the costs of the suit
Dispatches from Wausau give notice Of the
filing of suits for foreclosure to property to
the amount of 100000 by Miss Kate Pier. Of
this city, who, it is said, refused to accept
qu1t-claim deed, though such deed was Of
fered, unless it was accompanied by the tax
able costs in each case
There are millions of acres in these aban-
doned lands in the northern part of the state
winch, under the statutes can be made to
yield gold mine to those who care to tale
advantage Of the law. In the meantime the
wealthy lumbermen who have all along sup
posed that they had released the lands after
they had denuded them of their native
growth of pine are worried lest they suffer
from the development Of this new industry.

FIRST ROW OVER THE HIGH HATS.
Cincinnati Amused by the Introduce
ton of the New Law.

ton of the New Law.
CINCINNATI, O., April 10.-The high hat
question came up in Ohio in an amusing way
at the Grand opera house yesterday; that is,
in a way that extremely amusing to
some but painfully embarrassing to others.
Many women at the matinee removed their
hats before taking their seats, but there
were others who did not. The first protest
came from little old woman who wore
hat herself, but insisted that two women
in front of her should remove their hats be-
cause they were bigger than hers and con-
sequently her view was INSTRUCTED. An ush-
er was appealed to.
He requested the offending parties to re-
move their hats, which they declined to do.
Then the little old woman appealed to Door
keeper Mayor, who referred her to the ush-
er. Then she demanded to see Mr.. Rainforth,
the manager. Mr.. Rainforth promised to
investigate the matter. Then he tried to es-
cape to a neighboring resort, but before he
could succeed in getting out II the way,
the two women who had been complained OF
coralled him.
1.-THE woman who wants us to remove our
hats is a crank and faddist," said one Of
them "She just wants to gain her point to
our discontinue, and we are not going to let
her."
Mr.. Rainforth was visibly embarrassed, but
finally a happy thought struck him. Would
you mind changing your seat?'' he asked.
There happened to be two good seats, the
only ones left, down in front. There are
couple of good natured fellows sitting back
of these seats and perhaps they won't OBJ
ject to your hats"
The women assented to this arrangement.
and so did the men. Meantime the entire au-
ditnce had been convulsed with laughter and
the Hermann performance had to be tenn
porarily stopped until the hat controversy
had been settled. The little woman COM
planned afterward to the police, and warrants
were served on the management of the thea
ter to appear tomorrow and show cause why
the women with the high hats were admit
ted to the theater. II the case really comes
to trial the theater people will pay the fine
without protest.

POTATOES THAT INEBRIATE.
VIII Be Grown in Wisconsin and
Made Into Whisky at Milwaukee.

MANAWA, Wis, April 1O.-R. ]. Matthias,
with whom,it is understood, are associated 9TH
er local men,is back of scheme by which the
surplus potato crop, now selling at FIVE cents
q bushel, can be turned to profitable account
These men have purchased the necessary
machinery, and have begun work on large
whisky distillery, which will be located half
mile east Of town, and which will be de-
voted exclusively to the dstillation of potato
whisky. Little Of the "poteen,' as the Irish
call 1t, has ever been made in this country,
although it is preferred to grain whisky. A
large quantity is imported paying a heavy
duty. The plant that is being put up will
cost in the neighborhood of $50, 900, and is ex-
pected to be ready for active operation by
June 1. 1t will be so arranged that during
the summer when potatoes are not in con-
dition for use, grain can be used.

Cedar Falls to Superior.

CUMBERLAND, Wis, April 10.-A mass
meeting to consider the project of Cumber-
land connection with the 500 railroad was
held here today, and decided to recommend
the incorporation of an independent company
to build an air line road from Cedar Falls to
Superior, distance of 120 miles. This would
form connection with the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul road at Cedar Falls, with the
Wisconsin Central at Warner, with the 500
line at Spur 6, and with the Omaha at Cumber-
land. Thence X would penetrate to the pine
forests of Burnett and Douglas counties, and
form important railroad and lake connections
at Superior.

Curiosity in Longevity.

Westminster Gazette.
remarkable instance Of longevity in one
family has just been published in the st.
Thomas Hospital Gazette. Mrs. B., born 1880
five years after the accession of Charles -,
died March Is, 1882. She was tended in her
last illness by her great granddaughter, Miss
Jane c., born 171S, died 1907 and Miss Sarah
c., born 1725, died 1911. great-niece Of one
of these two ladies, Mrs. W., who remembers
one of them, was born in 1903 and is at the
present time alive and we'll. 1t will be seen
from the above facts that there are three lives
only to bridge over the long period between
1880 and 1896, and that there is at present liv-
ing a lady who personally knew Miss c., who
had nursed a relative born in 1880. The last
lady of this remarkable trio is hale and hearty

cussing the Vexed Question.
CHICAGO, April 10.-The lines Of the West
ern Passenger association met today to con-
slider the question of party rates. Some of
the roads declared themselves in favor Of
taking out the rates entirely, and others
were in favor of allowing them to remain in
force as to theatrical and all other kinds of
business. The meeting finally adjourned
without any definite action being taken, it
being understood that another meeting will
be called in the near future. The matter OF
mileage books was also considered, and it
was decided that in view of the fact that the
lines of the Central Passenger association
had appointed a committee to make a report
on the matter by April %, it would be good
idea for the roads of the Western Passenger
association to take similar action and see if
uniformity of action between the Eastern
and Western roads could not be secured A
committee was accordingly appointed and
will work in conjunction with that of the
Central Passenger committee.

The following is the Interpretation:
!. The kid which is one of the pure ami
mails. denotes the Hebrews. The father,
by whom it was purchased, is Jehovah. who
represents himself sustaining this relation
to the Hebrew nation. The pieces Of money
signify Moses and Aaron, through whose me-
diation the Hebrews were brought out of

the ten tribes were carried into captivity.
3. The dog is symbolical of the Babylo-

Z. The is symbol of the Saracens, who
subdued Palestine and brought it under the
caliphate.
s. The butcher that killed the OK denotes
the Crusaders by whom the Holy Land was
wrested out of the hands of the Saracens
9. The angel of death signifies the Turkish
power by which the land of Palestine was
taken from the Franks to whom it is still
subject.
10. The commencement of the tenth stanza
is designed to show that God will take sig
nal vengeance on the Turks Immediately
after whose overthrow the Jews are to be
restored to their own land and live under the
government of their long-expected Messiah.
