OPEN FUR BUSINESS.
Point Pleasant Hotel, Madison Lake,
Open to Guests.

Mrs. J. M. Barclay arrived at Point
Pleasant Saturday night, and with
her daughter will remain there dur.
ing the season. The hotel has been
put in first class order and everything
about the premises is unusually in
wiling.
Up to this time the weather has
been wholly unpropitious for angling,
but it is hoped that the cold spell is
over, and that we may now have some
warm, pleasant days. There has not
been a season in years when Madison
Lake possessed as many fish as it does
this season, and with the warm
weather fishing will be fine. Mrs.
Barclay will be able to accommodate
her guests this year in a pleasing
manner. The cottages, as well as the
hotel, have all been renovated, and
are now ready for occupancy. The
boats have been repainted and made
water tight, and bait Of all kinds will
be kept in readiness for patrons,

GOES TO CRAWFORDSVlLLE.
Prof. Kenaston Accepts an Offer
From Indiana.

Supt. Kenaston returned Saturday
fromCrawfordsvill Ind, where he was
offered and accepted the superinten-
dency of the schools of that city.
Charlottesville is city of the size of
Mankato, the county seat of Mont
gomery county, and one of the older
and weather. towns of Indiana. The
people there will find a good all
around man in Prof. Kenaston, who
will do the schools good in every way.
He,and his family carry with them the
high regard of all our people, the love
of pupils and teachers, and the best
wishes of Normal school and all other
educators of Minnesota. They will be
greatly missed in the large circle of
their friends and neighbOrs, and es-
pecially in theCongregational church,
where they have rendered efficient
service. Prof. Kenaston is well known
in Indiana and has much to say of it's
climate, educational institutions and
industries.
Prof. Kenaston has not decided
when he will move TO Charlottesville.
Mrs. Kenaston is at the bedside of
her father, who is very low in the
east.

THEY WERE SLY.
Two Tramps Rob Butcher Shop Dur
ing Business Hours.

At about four o'clock Saturday
afternoon two tramps entered the
Peters butcher shop, on North Front
street, while the shop Epeople were
busy in the sausage room, with the
door between that and the office open.
Seeing no one about, they quietly
opened the money drawer, without
ringing the bell, and distracted $40 in
cash and check for $3.50, signed by
Gus Widell. Mr.. Peters attention
was attracted by noise in the office,
and went forward in time to sec the
JWo men run out of the door and
along the street, each taking~a diff
ferent route. Mr.. Peters at first
thought that the fellows had taken
some sausage, but when he found that
his mUney'drawer had been rified, he
notified the police.
The officers took look over the
city and rounded up five tramps, but
they denied the theft, and none of
them had money, and Mr.. Peters was
unable to identify them, as he did not
get good view Of them as they ran
away. 1t is not likely that the right
men will be found.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Charles SChoenberg Falls Fifty Feet
and viii. Live.
Only a Few Bruises Results From His
Awful Pitch Through Space.

Charles SchOenberg had most re-
markable escape from instant death
Monday. He could not have had
the experience that he did one time
in Thousand and escape being found
a mangled corpse. He is young
man twenty years of age and lives
1 with his parents in Columbia Park ad-
dition in the north part of the city,
He has been working with the Man
kato Lime and Stone Co. for some
Months, his duty being to tend the
car that runs on an elevated trestle
from the top of the company's rock
ledge at the quarry near North Front
street, to the top of the lime kiln.
The car takes loads of stone across
this trestle to be dumped into the
kiln and thence burned into lime.
At about $50 o'clock Monday,
Schoenberg and the car fell off of the
trestle to the ground below, said by
the workmen to be distance of 81 or
So feet. Others estimate the distance
at fully fifty feet. Alex Bashaw, a
a member of the company and man
ager of the quarry, saw Schoenberg as
he was falling down through the air.
The car, being heavier, reached the
ground first, and the young man
pitched after it in doubled up posi-
tion with his feet lower than his
head
Schoenberg fell across the Car, upon
his breast and abdomen. He was
picked up in dazed condition and
carried to the hospital. DR.. Andre VS.
was summoned and remained until
DR.. Davis, who has the case, could be
found.
Schoenberg received three cuts up
on his right leg, his upper lip was cut
. and his nose bruised, his head was
cut and the back of his head was
bruised, and he received numerous
small abrasions. He received no in
ternal injuries, and the bruises upon
the back of his neck was the worst.
He has been conscious all day and will
recover.

An examination of the record will
show that special credit is due the
German Lutherans, who collected
through their activity in various d.
rections, something like $50. The
Normal school is next with a total
contribution of about S35, and the
Norwegian Lutheran next with total
of nearly S25.
In some cases those assigned to
large districts did not succeed in
covering them very thoroughly. If
any were omitted who would like to
contribute to the help of children,
particularly girls, who must be cared
for in orphanages already built, they
may leave their donations at the First
National bank.
The above money was sent off to
Brown Bros, bankers, treasurers of
the National Armenian Relief COM
mittee in two drafts, one.for 1925 and
the other for s53.37, total of which
has been acknowledged. Respectfully
submitted to any who are interested.

ICE AND FROST.

The cold weather of the past ten or
twelve days eliminated in a heavy
frost Monday night. Thermometers
registered anywhere from % to 33
degrees at an early hour this morning,
and ice formed to the thickness of a
sixteenth of an inch. A heavy frost
cut garden truck badly, and the
leaves of grape vines. No damage to
crops has been reported.
The temperature fell to Sc degrees
Saturday night. While it is not un-
usual in this state to have a cold spell
and killing frost as late in the season
as this the present cold period is of
unusual duration.

Great Havoc Wrought by Last Night S
Artic Breath.

CA. Goodell, who has four and a
half acres of strawberries north of
the city, was up all night building
smudges to protest his plants, but as
it. was he lost four or five out of every
nine blossoms, which will reduce his
crop one-half. He would have been
picking berries in two weeks. He
states that it is the worst frost so
late in the season during the twenty
one years that he has lived in the
state.
Corn and potatoes were cut down
level with the ground, and corn will
be set back two weeks. The season is
So late that there is doubt about it's
maturing before the fall frosts.

Big Deal in Timber Land.

A dispatch from Marinette, Wisconsin,
under date of Oct. 29,says one of the larg-
est lumber and land deals ever consumat-
ed i'm the Northwest has just been ar
ranged. Officials of the Spalding Lumber
company admit that the deal has practi-
cally been made, but say that it is not
fully completed. The Spalding Lumber
company has sold to Samuel Crawford Il
Co., of Pigeon, Forest county, Pa, its
sawmill plant at Cedar River, Mich., and
all its cedar and hemlock land east of the
Powers branch ofthe Chi ago and North
western railw ay, over 10000 acres. The
Spalding company is to retain possession
of the mill one year until the remainder
of its pine timber is sawed. Then Craw-
ford d Co. will build an immense tannery
at Cedar River and operate the mills also
to get out the hemlock lumder and the
bark. A railroad will be built from
Cedar River north to the Escanaba branch
of the Chicago and Northwestern. The
hemlock logs will be sawed into lumber
and the bark will be used in the tannery.
Tire entire deal will involve an outlay OF
at least 81 200, 900. The new concern has
the backing of a big tannary company in
the East. Cedar River is 30 miles north
of here i'm Menominee county.
