Minnesota aud Wisconsin Grain Men
Talking Of a Compromise.
WEST SUPERIOR. Wis, Oct. 13.-It is
quite probable that the Globe elevator
officials and the Minnesota weighmen
will not be arrested for unloading grain
into that company's plant in violation
of the Wisconsin warehouse law. There
is now promise Of settlement of the
trouble and the Superior board of trade
has decided to withhold criminal pro.
ceedings awaiting the result of con.
ference.
Several conferences between mem
bers of the board and representatives OF
the mills and elevators have been held
within the last two days, and it is re.
liably stated that an agreement has
been reached whereby the Superior
board is to do business in the future
under Minnesota inspection, the Wis.
consin system TO be withdrawn. All
that is wanting in the concurrence oi
the Minnesota warehouse commission
to effect final settlement of the
matter, and the elevator men prom.
Use it will be forthcoming promptly.
The millers of Superior have agreed
to patronize the Superior board, but dc
not bind themselves to do their trading
exclusively on this side of the bay, and
the elevators have agreed to use their
influence toward the upbuilding of this
board, the steps in that direction to be
taken gradually.

o'clock this morning. They seemed to
single out the frat houses for their work
of demolition, as no other buildings are
reported to have been molested.
Breaking windows, stealing door-plates
and metallic house numbers were the main
features OF their work Besides breaking
by heavy plate glass window in the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon House on Charming

were about to commit further depredations
when they were frightened off. Crossing
the street, they broke large window OF
the Phi Delta Theta house with q

eyes, to blind the animal during removal.
The mask is to prevent injury to the head,
as all horses have tendency to throw the
head around when hurt, and frequently
iniure themselves seriously.
Ii obstreperous. this is prevented by the
padded mask. A rubber bucket of water
Is carried to wash the wounds or quench
the thirst of the horse.
The apparatus consists OF a strong frame
work of iron, suspended on trolley track,
assisted in its work by compound hoist
ing block, by which one man can lift ton
weight.
The track is divided in the center and
doubles back on itself when not in use.
The end of the track is supported by a
twelve-foot tubular tripod. which can be
adjusted over an excavation, cellar hatch
way or hole in a wharf or. as in some
cases, where horses or COWS fall between
the wharf and a steamer.
The horse is removed by q system of
sllngs. most perfect arrangement, in
vented ten years ago by DR.. Carpenter s
now deceased father, W. II. Carpenter
The hoisting apparatus is attached tc
the drivers seat by a double block con-
nected with the trolley over the driver S
seat. The horse is lifted right up into the
am bulance by this arrangement without
the least suffering.
DIR. Carpenter says the need of such an
am buIance is seen almost daily in the ami
NAL work of the humane society OF this
city, and the only reason that they do not
have it is for lack of money to pay for one.
The cost would be $1,000.

known as the Ladies Cooperative Home.
As soon as the alarm was turned in the
whole of the back of the building was. in
flames. 1t is an old structure and when
once the fire got headway its progress was
very rapid. A second alarm was turned in
and the re was worked from both Thir-
teenths nd Twelfth streets. Before the
FireD partment got control of the fire it
had reached to the attic from the kitchen
where it originated.
During the excitement the ladies of the
home reported that there was a sick man
in one of the rooms. He was taken there
from the Receiving Hospital few days
ago, and after being carried out he was
taken to the hospital in the patrol wagon.
Before the fire was put out the building
was badly.gutted.
The damage will probably reach $1,000

there is slight curve in the track, which
made it much easier for the car wheels to

distance upon the ties and then pitched
over ten-foot EN- mbankment, carving all
the men with it.
All the section hands were more or less
injured by the fall, but it was not thought
at the time that any serious results would
follow. Hammerberg was TAX en- to his

they could find was a slight abrasion in
the vicinity of the hip. The man seemed.
however, to have been quite severely in

Mrs. Brock is a young woman who is
convinced that SO far as she is concerned
marriage is a dire failure. She made
this discovery less than a month after she
became Mrs Brock.
The young wife appeared before Judge
Frick to-day and told of her marital ex-
periences. A few weeks after marriage
her husband took her for a target and
fired many articles at her, among them an
old shoe and pistol bullet. On one occa-
sion, according to her complaint, Brock
went home intoxicated and threw himself
upon bed in which their little baby was
sleeping. The mother rescued the babe
the father objected and Mrs. Brock was
the sufferer.
He varied his acts of violence with oc-
casionsLthreats to kill his wife and once
he tried TO carry out the threat, but the
bullet lodged in the wainscoting instead
of in Mrs. Brooks head. A boot was
hurled at her with such violence that she
was sick for several days. year ago, to
the young wife's great relief, Brock left
her in peace.
Brock is a bookkeeper and has been en-
ployed by some of the Alaska canneries

need no longer call herself by the name of
the man she married, for Judge Frick
considered her allegations proved and sent
her on her way rejoicing.

908 Broadway. Feb. 18.
The recent horrible death of two horses
in ditch at Fruitvale has caused the
Humane Society of this city to feel the
urgent necessity of an ambulance for the
removal of horses when such accidents
happen.
A similar need was felt for many years
by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals in San Francisco, and
three years ago DR.. Thomas Carpenter,
who is now a prominent officer of the
Humane Society of this county and
veterinary inspector for Alameda. seeing
the urgent need, invented an ambulance,
which has proved a blessing to suffering
horses and cattle. 1t has also been the
means of saving animals that would other
wise have been sacrificed.
This ambulance was never patented nor
will it ever be, as DR.. Carpenter desires
every society to have the privilege of using
the vehicle whenever needed.
The body of the ambulance is patterned
after the old Bergh system of New York,
which has platform on rollers. To this
DR.. Carpenter has added rubber bed and
pillows and a mask padded two inches

A Branch Republican League-Student
Laborers to Celebrate-New
Precincts.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 19.-Steps have
been taken by the Board OF Education for
the calling OF another special election to
again submit to voters a proposition for
providing new schools for Berkeley.
The election will be under the school
law and will be school district election,
called by the Board of County Supervisors
at the instance of the Berkeley Board of
Education.
At meeting of the School Directors
last night committee consisting OF Presi-
dent Boom and Directors Robertson and
Neihaus was appointed to consult with
the Town Attorney as to the nature of
the bonds and the rate of interest. The
committee will report at the board next

will probably be called.
No decision has yet been reached as to
the amount of bonds TO be asked for, but
the amount will probably be about $50, 600.
1t is proposed to secure grammar schools,
as was projected IN the election held last
Saturday, and also a school at Lorin and
one at East Berkeley, to relieve the Kel-
logg school, so that the latter can be used
as high school.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 18.-A Califor-
MIA and Nevada department of the Ameri-

be established at the State University.
The league is National one, having

THE EXCHANGE is SAFE.
No Loss of Trade on Account of the
DreSsmaker's Ruse.

OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 18.-Mrs. W. E.
Sharon, president of the Women's Ex-
change, says that the failure to remove
their sign from the original exchange, on
Fourteenth street, has not caused them
any loss of business, although it has
caused much inconvenience.
Mrs. Caldwell, the dressmaker, who is
trading on the sign, is not, it is said, de-
irving any benefit from her ruse, but is
losing on account of it. Last Saturday Mrs.
Caldwell hung out an extra sign contain
ing the words, "Women's Exchange" but
although that is clear infringement of
the rights of the legitimate, organized ex-
change, the ladies have decided to take no
action, as they feel the publication Of the
facts has sufficiently enlightened the
public.
The exchange is now doing business
averaging from $500 to 5000 month and
is steadily increasing. Its value is mani
tested in many ways. One woman is
keeping herself and five children through
i IS assistance. Aid is extended to women
who are competent and desirous OF help
ing themselves, and the lady patronesses
OF the institution give much time toward
fostering it.
