SHUTDOWN CERTAIN.
Orders Received by Appleton Mill
Men to Reduce the Use
Of Water.

Appleton, Wis, March 25-TSpacial.l l.
Government orders were received byman-
ufacturers here today cutting the use of
water for power purposes one-half or to
$4,000 cubic feet. This will doubtless be
followed shortly by an order for total
shutdown as only by such means can
the water be raised to the crest of Me
nasha dam.
The present curtaiiment will not change
the situation here any. The total shut
down when it comes will close all mills
which make pulp only, throwing several
hundred men out of work in the valley.
All paper mills have steam and will con-
tinue to run. The shutdown will not
approach in extent that of last summer
and but II few hundred men will be made
idle in the whole valley.
Papermakers being unable to make
pulp will be obliged to buy outside, thus
increasing the cost of their product and
probably raising the price to the consum-
ers. Appleton's electric light and car
service may also be affected as no steam
power has been provided at their plant.

sowed-gave the company quite a set

ment TO the effect that the directors held
Sf97 500 OF bonds that were voted to
aid in the building of the road. He said
the company would turn over the bonds,
right-of-Way, ETC., to any parties that
would build the road. A committee of
citizens was appointed to look into the
matter of getting aid for the directors
toward pushing their plans through.

A CRAVING FOR GREASE.
indian Tribes In Cold Climates Store 1T
for Future Use.

Fort Resolution is one of the most
important posts in the country. Though
it has NOT so many claims to distinction
as ChipeWyan, its natural resources for
food are much greater. for near By is
the most productive fishery III the cOun-
try: the Dog Rib and Yellow Knife In
dams generally keep it supplied with
caribou meat in winter, and geese and
ducks are fairly plentiful in spring. Fur
thermore, it is the only post that secures
any quantity of the country luxury
grease-though the Indians never bring
in marrow, which is It very palatable
tidbit. The grease they do bring in is
the fat from along the back and around
the joints of the caribou, which is called
hard grease, in contrauiStinction to the
marrow. which is soft Both of these
are used in making pemmican, which is
made of dried meat pounded into shreds
and mixed with grease, and rolled into
balls or made into square or round slabs.
Pemmican, however, is rare article
nowadays, and not to be found anywhere
south of Resolution, and only then on
occasion. This is chiefly because carioou
are not SO plentiful as they were for
mepIy, and the Indians keep much of
the grease for their own consumption.
Nor do they make pemmican to any
great extent, their substitute for it be-
ING the pounded meat, which is car
ried in little caribou skin bags when
travelling and eaten with the grea sea
pinch of pounded meat and bite of
grease I must confess that a plate of
pounded dried meat and several good
sized Jumps of clear grease were about
the most tempting morsels | had set
before me at any time on my trip. One
never gets enough of grease in the North
land it is eaten as some in the civilized
world consume sugar; IN fact, | devel-
oped a craving for sweets that even
grease did not satisfy, chiefly, | suspect,
because the supply was SO limited, and
somewhat notable III my case for the
reason that ordinarily [ seldom if ever
touch sweets. The absence of bread
and yegeta bles and the excessive cold
undoubtedly combine to excite the de-
sire fog both grease and sweets.-Har-

PLOTTED TO KILL.
Otto Sandmayr Seeks the Life Of
Minnie Broese, His House,
keeper.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 26.-Otto
Sandmayr, a printer employed by the
Germania Publishing company, was ar
rested last night for threatening to kill
Miss Minnie Broese The police say he
not only admits the charge, but actually
made deliberate preparations for the
murder OF the young woman by dispos-
ing of all his household furniture and
providing for the care of his children by
placing. them in charge of Supt. White
head of the Humane society. This pre-
caution, it is said, was taken by, him
with the expectation that he would be
sentenced to Waupun for taking the
girls life.
Miss Broese called at the central DO
lice station yesterday afternoon and told
her story. 1t was that she had been en-
ployed as housekeeper by Sandmayr at
his house at $50 Fourteenth street, his
wife being dead, and had been working
for him about four years. Not long
ago she left his house because he would
not pay her the wages that were due,
and fitted out rooms for herself in a
house owned by her mother at Sixth
street and ConcOrdia avenue. He was
drunk a large part of the time, she said
and was very abusive, but she tolerated
small children. for whom she felt a
deep pity. Finally his actions became
unbearable. He threatened a number of
times to take her life. He was behind
in her wages, and she thought it best to
leave. Tuesday, it appears, he made
several visits to the house in which she
had taken refuge, bent upon carrying
out his threat, with a revolver in his pos
session. She managed to elude him, but
her fear so preyed upon her mind that
she felt compelled to make a complaint
and have the man locked up.
