TRAIN BREAKS IN TWO.
Serious Wreck at Pine River Five Miles
from MerrilI.

Merrill, Wis, Dec. 1O-[Special. ]
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul freight
train No. 10, northbound from Babcock
to Tomahawk, was wrecked at Pine Riv-
er, five miles south of Merrill, at sos
o'clock this morning. The train broke
in two, thus setting the airbrakes on the
front end, and as it is down grade the
rear end smashed into the front, demoi-
ishing three cars, two of which were
raised from the track, and forcing out
the stringers on top of the bridge.
The four passengers aboard were all
considerably shaken up. j. M. Mclean
and daughter of Omro were rendered un-
conscious by the shock for a few min
utes. Brakeman Frank Harrington was
thrown from the train, landing twenty
feet from the track. He received no in
juries. Conductor J. 0. Geller of Bah
cock was III the act of getting out of
the cupola window when the crash came,
and he was thrown against the side of
the cupola, receiving several painful cuts
on the head, none of which are serious.
Traffic on this end of the division was
delayed some three hours

TELEPHONE COMPANIES FIGHT.
Local Companies at La Crosse at War with
the Bell Interests.

La Crosse, Wis, Dee. 10.-[Special. J.
This city is now in the very thickest of
red-hot telephone war. 1t is fight be-
tween the La Crosse Telephone company
and the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, and the new long-distance
Bell company. 1t is a struggle between
local independent, anti-Bell interests and
the Bell people, and has been going on
several months past, until now the climax
will be reached, it is thought, in tonight's
meeting of the common council, when
the proposed modified franchise comes up
for final action. Two New York attor-
neys have been laboring for weeks past
on the aldermen in the interests of the
American company and now they are re-
inforced by Attorney George N. Wiswell
Of Milwaukee,
The original franchise hung fire in the
hands of committee for number of
weeks. The La Crosse Telephone COM
pany thought it saw in it an evident in
tent on the part of the long distance COM
pany to discriminate in favor of the
local Bell exchange and objected to the
passage of the franchise asked for by the
New York attorneys.
The board of trade took the matter up
and finally it was agreed that no fran
chise should be passed that did not con-
tain an anti-discrimination cause.-the
lOng-distance company must treat all local
exchanges alike. This the long-distance
Bell company refused to accept.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 1O.-[Special.1 /
There was a class fight at Lawrence uni
versity last night that exactly reversed
the conditions of last Tuesday evening
when the members of the junior class
were imprisoned by the freshmen on the
occasion of junior class party. Last
night the juniors turned the tables on
the freshmen and it was found necessary
to call in the city police in order to re-
lease the members Of the freshman
class who had been made captives by
the juniors. AS it was, some nine fresh
men failed to attend the party at ALL
having been hidden by the upper class
men where the police failed to find them.

TO VACATE JUDGMENT.
a Motion Brought to Set Aside Decision
of Supreme Court.

Madison, Wis, Dee. 11.-For the first
time in the history Of the Supreme court
a motion was argued before that body
TO yacate and set aside its own judg-
ment, OH the ground that decision had
been rendered in which one of the judges
was disqualified by statute from taking
part
The case was that &C Case against
Hoffman, which had been appealed from
the circuit court of Jackson county and
involved some water rights in cranberry
lands. The Supreme court had previous
ly reversed the decision of the circuit
court and sent the case back for a new
trial Before it came. to trial, however,
the circuit judge who heard the case was
elected to the Supreme court.
The plaintiff secured judgment in the
lower court and the case again went to
the Supreme court, where it was re-
yersed. The supreme judge who handed
Gown the decision was the former circuit
judge who first heard the case.
The motion yesterday to set aside the
decision of the Supreme court was argued
by James G.. Flanders of Milwaukee on
the ground that the judge who wrote the
opinion was disqualified from sitting in
the case, under section $3.50 of the re-
Tised statutes, which says no judge of
the appellate court shall decide or take
part IN the decision of any cause or mat
ter which shall have been determined
by him while sitting as a judge of any
other court

Ancient BARRIERS,

The cult of the beard, according to the
ancient Jewish writer's, started in the
garden of Eden. Adam. they tell us,
was several miles in height, and was fur
nished with a prodigious beard which
reached to his middle.
The ancient Jews, presumably on ac-
count of this believed Edenic origin held
the beard in such high esteem that they
considered it a greater insult to seize a
man by his beard than to tread on his
cCrns. They cherished the hair on their
faces IS. the callow youth of today does
his adolescent moustache, Unnamed it in
various forms, perfumed ii WILL odorous
substances, and cut it only as sign of
great atfliction. So far did they carry
their veneration for it's dignity that laws
were actually passed regarding the man
ner of its wearing. This was probably
done, however, in orden THAT the chosen
races that made hair offerings to their
gods nor their former masters, the Egyp-
tians, who were great patrons of BARRIERS.
The BARRIERS lot was happy one in
the land of Egypt, where the people had
such a high regard for the tonsorial art
that the majority of the men shaved not
only the face but the entire head, and
capped their bald pates with wigs, while
the priests went even further and shaved
the entire body every third day. With
this constant scraping of chins going on,
the BARRIERS trade was an important one
in the home Of the Pharaohs, and it's fol-
lowers were kept busily running through
out the length and breadth of the land
from early morning until sunset. They
carried their tools in an open-m0uthed
basket, and their razors were shaped like
a small Ratchet with Il curved handle =

IN OSHKOSH SCHOOLS.
Practice OF Hypnotisn1 IS Carried
on by Pupils in that
City.

Oshkosh. Wis, Dec. l1.-TSpecial. J.
The practice of hypnotism has broken out
among the pupils of the high school here,
and Supt. Davis has decided that some
thing must be done to stop it. The prac-
tice is confined mostly to a set of young
boys, although the girls arc also becom-
ing interested III the experiments. 1t is
claimed that one of the boy students is so
susceptible that several times recently he
and relieved only after considerable trou-
BILE. Yesterday Supt. Davis suspended
this student, but afterward said he would
wait a few days to investigate. 1t is
feared the practice will spread to the
other schools and it is probable that the
school board will take action to stop it.

MUST PAY SIX ASSESSMENTS.
Important Decision Handed Down in
Odd Fellows' Insurance Gases.

Oshkosh, Wis, Dec. 10.-[Special.] J.
In the county court this morning Judge
Cleveland handed down an important de-
cision in the test case appealed from the
municipal court in which Receiver Fulton
of the Wisconsin Odd Fellows Mutual
Life Insurance company seeks to compel
payment of back assessment from de-
linQuent members.
Judge Cleveland holds that E. e. Stev-
ems, the defendant. is bound to pay the
first six of the ten lapsed assessments
previous to the eXpira ton Of his sixty
days notice of withdrawal from the as
ISOLATION; the remaining four assessments
need not be paid. Suits are pending
against about sixty members here, in
volving a total of $4,000 and this decision
would cut off about $1,000 of the com
pany's claim.
An appeal will probably be taken to
the Supreme court. The final decision
will affect Odd Fellows all over the state,
the total amount involved amounting 70
many thousands of dollars.

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD,
Information About the State School for
Children at SPARTA

Sparta, Wis. Dec. 1.-THE state
board of control has issued the following
circular to the public:
There are many people in the state who
would like to adopt or receive on indenture
children from the school for dependent chill
dren at Sparta, but do not know how to pro-
coed, and in fact many do not know that
such an institution exists
The school is intended simply as a clear
ing house. The children sent here through
misfortune Or neglect are kept only long
enough to find suitable homes for them to
enter. They may be adopted or may be
indentured until y years of age, after G.
reasonable trial, should it appear that the
conditions are favorable to the best inter-
ests of both the child and the family.
There are now about $50 children, most
of whom are ready to be placed in desirable
homes. Among them are seventy-five boys
from to years of age, who are especially
desirable for adoption.
Any person desiring to take a child on
trial should communicate with the super
intendent of the state public school at
Sparta, who will send an agent to the per-
son applying or will furnish any desired in
formation concerning the children, rules
etc.

LARGE AMOUNT INVOLVED.
United States Supreme Court will De-
eide Water Rights Dispute.

Kaukauna, Wis, Dec. 13.-[Speciall-
At last the immense interest at stake in
the waterpOWer situated in this city and
just below it on the Fox river are to come
before the Supreme court at Washington
for final decision. The case has been
tried four times before the state Supreme
court. There are involved in this suit
interests amounting to 100000. The
case has been pending many years and
should the higher courts decision be in
unison with the last decision by Wiscon-
sins Supreme court, a period of great
prosperity can be looked for in Kaukau-
ma, as the amount of waterpower to be
improved here is even larger than that
now in USE
The contest is over the right to use the
water power formed by the rapids in Fox
river after it flows over the government
dam.
The Green Bay and Mississippi Canal
company claims this water by right of
eminent domain and a grant from the
state, as against the corporations of the
Kaukauna Water Power company, the
Outagamie Paper company, the Union
Pulp company and the Reese Pulp COM
pany, who claim rights as riparian own
ers. There are owned by one single COM
pany alone-the Kaukauna Water Power
company-4OO acres Of land lying along
these rapids on both sides of the Fox
river, distance of one-half mile. This
corporation has already expended over
S30O,O0O on its own account
There are also large interests involved
IN Appleton. 1t is said that altogether
the property in the suit is valued at ST.
100000.
The lawyers retained in the case are
James Is. Reddington, Washington; P. R.
Barnes, Chicago; e: Mariner, David E.
0Gdway, John L. Fish and Alfred L.
Cary, Milwaukee; 3. J. Stevens, Madi-
son; George c. Green, Green Bay, and
Meses Hooper of Oshkosh.
Mr.. Hooper has already gone to Wash
1ngt@n where it is expected this suit will
be called. perhaps by next Wednesday.
The people of kaukauna are looking for

AN IRONCLAD LAW.
Thought to Help Increase Deer in, S~ath
Dakota Territory.

Deer hunting in South Dakota must
come to an end as far as the law is, con-
cenned. There are a great many deer in
the Black Hills and hunting has been the
best known for years. The new game
law is very strict as regards the killing
of deer A portion of it reads: mo
deer can be killed under one year off age.
No female deer can be killed. Male deer
cam be killed, hunted Or captured only be-
tween the first day of October and the
last day of November until the year
1901. That year no deer of any kind
cam be killed, and every fifth year there
after will he held a close year, when no
deer can be killed. No more than two
male deer can be killed in one day OF
more than four during the season by one
person. Hunters cannot offer none than
two deer for sale in one year."
