A marriage occurred in New York the

tenets of theosophy that all one has to do
is to wait, and his or her kindred spirit
will come along after awhile, and hapni-
ness will reign supreme. 1t may be that
the ones affinity will not happen along for
two or three hundred years; the current
incarnation may be a disappointment; but
patience and a few cycles of time will
make it all right.
The marriage referred to was that of
Claude Falls Wright, formerly secretary
to Madame Blavatsky and later secretary
to William Q. Judge, and Miss Mary Kath-

ago was a priestess in Egypt, but who
some twenty-four years ago was reincar-

The situation was a terrible one, but the

The situation was still more terrible. He

DIED FOR HIS HORSES.
Strange Man Killed While Trying to
Flag a Train Near Mad
iSOn.

Madison, Wis, May S.-[Special.] IAN
unknown man was killed by the cars at
Oregon about 1 o'clock this morning, a
short distance south of the depot. No
one saw the accident, but developments
show that he drove onto the railway
track at the depot, turning and driving
south. A short distance from the depot
his horse fell between the sleepers of
the railway bridge. 1t is evident that
while he was trying to eXtricate the ami
NAL he heard the train approaching. for
he had crossed the bridge. He did not
succeed in attracting the attention of the
engineer in time to stop, however, and
the engine struck him, killing him almost
instantly.
No one at Oregon knows the man, and
nothing was found on his person by
which he can be identified. He was an
old gentleman of about 20 years. about
5 feet inches tall, weight probably lao,
smooth shaved and rather we'll dressed.
His feet were badly crippled and he
wore nothing on them but a pair OF
arctic overshoes.
He drove bay pony with a road cart,

case marked Rock Grove, Ill. He was
seen driving into town from the direc-
ton of GAINESVILLE short time before the

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
Millions of Feet OF Lumber and
Docks Are in
Ashes.

Ashland, Wis.,, May 9.-[Special. l.
Half a MILAN dollars worth of milling
property and lumber went up in flames
at Ashland today. The Shores Lumber
companys mill, the largest on CheQua-
megon bay, is in smouldering ruins and
several thousand feet of lumber dock is
burned to the waters edge, which con-
tanned about 100000 feet of lumber.
The fire started ON w. r. Durfee's
lumber docks, and not only an extensive
loss of property, but one life at least
was lost in the heroic effort to beat
back the flames 1t is impossible yet
to state who the man is, but at l:oO
O'clock when the great tornado of flames
burst out from the lumber piles into the
sawmill, it cut off the retreat of several
men who were at the outer edge of the
mill fighting back the flames.
The mill is surrounded by water with
wooden tramways leading to the shore.
All the men succeeded in reaching the
ton of John Nolander. He was en-
veloped by a sheet of flames one mo-
ment; the next he jumped from the pill
ing into the water of the bay. Thou
sands of people who lined the shore saw
him drown and the great clouds of smoke
from sight. It is reported that one
other persisted, but the report cannot be
verified.
Those who lost lumber are F. Boutin
and George Best, Bayfield,; North Wis
consin Lumber company of Hayward;
J. F. Van Dooser, Charles Crogster and
Shores Lumber company of Ashland.
The latter lost 12,OOO,OOO feet of lumber
besides their milling property and docks,
which will make, them lose between
1915, 900 and 100000. The Hines Lum-
Der company of Chicago and A. p. Brew
er & Son Of Saginaw, Mich, also lose
heavily.
The lumber Of all the firms mentioned
with the exception of the Shores Lum-
Der company owned lumber that was
piled on w. r. Durfee's dock. The fire
is still burning fercely, but has been
checked somewhat. The keystone Lum-
Der company's lumber and milling prop
erty is practically out of danger, al
though all ferryboats and tugs have
been taken away from their regular runs
and are pumping water on the stock.

Sparta Postmaster Umpired Ball Game
Backed with Pistols.

Sparta, Wis, May 9.-One of the
greatest games of baseball ever played in
this. county was the one from the effects
of which some of our leading business
men are still limping. The high school
team has had a few games with neigh
boring cities and conceived the idea of
playing with picked nine of business
men, and it was no sooner proposed than
the sporting blood of business men, who
played ball years ago. began to boil.
Postmaster Cheney was umpire. Mr..
Cheney is very excitable man, could
not stand the shouts of the small boys,
and had not the remotest idea of the
difference between a baseball rule and a
two-foot rule AT the third inning it was
noticed that horse pistol of the vintage
of 1912 was sticking in the ground be-
tween his feet. and before the fourth was
over another about two feet long was be-
side it, After this no decisions were
questioned At the end of the nine in
nings the score stood ID to II in favor of
the school team.

MILWAUKEEANSWALK
Not Single Street Car Run on
Sunday.
Little Change in the Strike Situation
Board Of Arbitration.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 11.-Yesterday
was a unique Sunday for Milwaukee,
the like of which was never before seen
here. Not street car was run during
the day and at shutdown the police had
mercury showed 90 degrees in the shade
and the sidewalks were thronged with
people trudging to the parks and beer
gardens, while thousands were carried
about by BUSES and other conveyances.
The reason for this peculiar state of
affairs was the strike of the employees of
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company, who went out a week
ago to enforce their demands of an in
crease in pay from 10 to 20 cents an
hour and also recognition of the union.
Hoodlums had created much disturbance
through the week by stoning cars and
logging" policemen and impo.ted motor
men. Therefore it was deemed best not
to attempt to run any cars on Sunday,
people.
Shortly before noon there was a pa
rade in which the motormen and con-
ductors showed 800 strong and the cleo
trical workers turned out with 200 men
in line. There were about 1000 men in
line. President Mahon of the national
association, President Flint of the local
made speeches. The leaders say that
not member of the union has deserted.
The decision not to run any cars was ar
rived at Saturday evening at a con-
ference held between the street railway
officials and the city authorities. It
was looked upon by the strikers and
their sympathizers as complete back
down. The fact is that the company was
earnestly advised not to attempt to run
cars, as by so doing a riot, or a dozen
of them, would probably be precipitated.
The state board of arbitration has been
called upon, and is now in session here.
This afternoon the committee of the
strikers appeared before it and stated
the mems side of the dispute. The board
then sent word to Vice-President Payne
notifying him that he would be heard at
10 o'clock today Mr.. Payne said last
night that he would be pleased to talk
to the members of the board, but that
there was nothing to arbitrate now. He
claims that the strike is over and that
the company will run it's entire compile
ment of cars today. The promise, how
ever, has been made every day since the
strike began. During the day there was
great activity in labor circles perfecting
a boycott of the company and all MEM
bers of the labor organizations riding in
cars will be subject to fine or Dismissal ..
