Seized FlSherman's Net In The Mississippi,

Mr.. Edward Roshi. deputy fish and
game warden for Grant county. re-
siding in Waterloo township, came to
Lancaster Friday with fish sein which
he deposited in the court house for
safe keeping. He found the net set
in the Mississippi river below Specht's
Ferry and inside the Grant county
boundary line. The sien with its
wings is about 300 feet long and is
known by the name OF 'pond net"
1t is nearly new and cost about $50.
The law orders the warden to destroy
all fish nets SO captured, but Officer
Roshi and the authorities here thought
best to preserve it.
No doubt some lone, lorn fisherman
is now nursing his wrath over the
loss Of the net; but this is a point
with him on which silence is golden,
eli an outburst on his part would lead
to his arrest. Roshi is gaining the
reputation Of fearless and trust
worthy officer.

Obituarg--T. A. BlWeII.

Theodore A. Elwell was born near
Dayton, Pribble County. Ohio, Sep
TENDER 2oth, 1926, and died at Bur
ton, August 2oth, 1898, aged II years
and II months
When years of age his parents
moved west to Illinois. remaining
there but four years when they
moved still farther west to Lee Coun-
ty, Iowa, but not finding everything
TO suit them, in 1912 moved to Hazel
Green, Wis, and engaged in lead
mining for ten years Then moved
to Waterloo where, with his five sons,
he felled the tim Der and made for
themselves a home. Surrounded with
all the comforts OF this life, here the
parents died at an advanced age, re-
spected by all who knew them. The
adore is the fourth of the five sons
that the angel of death has claimed
John and William died in middle age.
James was called about two years ago
at the age Of &c years. One brother,
Frank A. Elwell, of Cassville, Wis,
remains.
The deceased was possessed with
more than ordinary ability of attend
ing to his own business. He always
had good word for every body and
nobody was ever turned away from
his door empty handed; friend to
the oppressed, and in every way a
noble man.
Deceased was placed in a number
of places of public trust. which he
filled with a zeal that showed the
superiority of the man; his counsel
was often sought in serious walks of
life. There, on the old homestead,
where for forty-six years, he watched
the tide of life, surrounded by his
family and only brother, he crossed
the river to wait their coming. In
the last struggle, his brother said to
Theodore, "What do you want2" His
answer was Il want death, bless the
lord, bless the lord These were his
last words on earth. thus going to
sleep in the arms of Jesus. All that
kind neighbors and loving wife and
children could do, for more than a
year of suffering and pain, would not
suffice, for the lord had called and he
was ready to answer as above stated.
In 1858 he was united in marriage
to Miss Wanna Hawthorn, a very esti-
mable young lady, whose death
occurred in 1866. He afterwards mar
ried Miss Susie Spark. OF this union
three children were born; Perry, of
st. Paul, Mimi; Ella B. and Mrs.
VIM. Deckert, of Dubuque, Iowa. But
the glory of this life was again to be
interrupted by the death of his second
wife. Later he married Miss Martha
Parks, of Mt. Hope. This union was
blessed with five children; James NJ,
William H., John. Della, Francis,
who sadly mourn the loss of loving
husband and indulgent father. The
esteem in which he was held was
shown at the funeral, there being
over ninety teams in procession, of
surrounding friends and neighbors
who felt as though a brother had gone
from among them.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. John II. Klaus. of Dubuque,
Iowa, and Rev. j. Sanborn, of Sparta,
Wis. The coffin was almost hidden
with wreaths of flowers. and the
grave was draped in the simplicity of
purity. Appropriate hymns were well
rendered by the Burton choir. =.

WHO'S NEXT 2

We all are on the skirmish line,
We hear the bugle calling,
And all around us one by one
Our old comrades are falling;
But Forward" is the stern command
That gives no time for sorrow
Close up the ranks and face the foe,
Our turn may come tomorrow,
In vain we look along the line
For old familiar faces:
But they have fallen from the ranks
And none can take their places.
But on the battlefield of life
There's little time for sorrow,
1t may be you, it may be me.
Who's turn will come tomorrow.
And when the summons comes to join
The host that's gone before
How soon the few that love US now
Will think of us no more;
Though when we fall, perchance, few
VIII drop tear of sorrow
Their fearful eyes win soon be dry:
They will smile again Tomorrow

TRAM WAKES UP
Wants Double Track and
Conversion Rights.
Attorneys Before the Cabinet-Law
Questions VIII go to Supreme
Court-New Company.

| The Hawaiian Tramways Company
Ltd, has walked up again. II is in the
field for new privileges and with pro-
mise of new policy. The company pro
| poses to convert the mule line to an
| electric power concern. It asks for the
right to have double tracks on King
street from Thomas Square to Waikiki
and on Beretania street from Punch
bowl street to Punahou. The Tram
people have lodged application with
the Cabinet This was done by Attor-
neys Neumann and Hatch yesterday
morning.
There exists doubt concerning the
grants to the Tram Company. This
question resolves itself in most parti-
culars to Interpretation of law. This
is to the extent of an apparent issue.
The Cabinet will refer to the Supreme
Court. The proceeding will be shaped
into a suit with the Minister of In
terror on one side and the Hawaiian
Tramways Company, Ltd, on the
other The matter Will go to the tribu
nal of last resort at once.
Several times the Tram people have
made a movement in the direction of
the trial upon which it is now said to
be. The first in recent times when
the question of a charter to another
Transit Company was before the Leg
islature two or three years ago. An
other spell of activity was evidenced
when the citizens started in upon the
of the present Honolulu
Rapid Transit and Land Company.
1t was said yesterday by a gentel-
man substantially interested in the
welfare and progress of the Tram
Company that the corporation was now
in earnest, that plans had been matur-
ed many months ago. It was added
that in case the decision of the Sup
rene Court was favorable to the COM
pany the double tracks would be laid
at once and the change from mule to
electric power made without delay.
One of the local men prominent in
the new Transit Company remarked |
last evening that nothing the Tram
people could do in the manner proposed |
would make any difference whatever
to the Honolulu concern. Its plan of |
would be followed. and that |
without loss of time. The home CAPT
talists believe they are making a good |
investment and will carry out the OT1-
ginal purpose of giving the town mod |
arn transit service at a reasonable cost. |
1t is more than likely, it is now given |
out, that the Honolulu company will |
use compressed air for power.

dangerous wound or compound frac-
ture Of a limb fall to their lot, every
available means is employed to dis
lodge the former and the best known
eXpedients are used to bind up or set
the latter. If the average citizen has
a corn or backacha, he wants to get
rid of it as it is an annoyance; but if
it eases up little and 1irts with him
for a short time the anxiety to part
with it diminishes IN direct ratio TO
the flirting. Now, if this meets the
eye Of the reader who has backache,
and there are ninety chances out of a
hundred that it will, if that reader is
anxious to get rid Of it, follow the
simple plan adopted by Mr.. VIM. b.

He says: Il fully realized the danger
of neglecting kidney difficulties, and
when [ began to have pains in the
back, followed by bladder trouble that
was growing serious, I procured DOan's
Backache Kidney Pills and used them
with beneficial effects. The kidney
secreiOns had been very high in color
and contained a good deal of brick dust

and the pains in my back were cured.

FIVE LEGS.
Ex-Alderman King Has Curious Calf on
His Farm In Tatnuck

Ex-Alderman King Has Curious Calf on
His Farm In Tatnuek.
A calf with five legs is one of the
newest curiosities that Worcester
boasts of, an animal Of this sort having
been born into the world Sunday night,
on the farm of Homer r. King, who re-
sides in Tatnuck
The calf Is perfectly formed. and in
every sense of the word a healthy
creature. 1t is about the size Of the
ordinary newborn calf, but in several
respects, so Mr.. King says. it is far
ahead of many he has raised in the
past.
The peculiar feature of the animals
makeup is the fact that 1t has five per-
fectly formed legs. The fifth leg is
placed just a little above the middle
Of the backbone, and is the same size
and in every way alike the others, 1t
Is about 2 IL feet long and hangs from
the side of the animals body, like the
pendulum of clock.
The newborn calf is the pride of the
hour at Mr.. Kings barn, and he says
that he will try to raise 1t and derive
the same advantages that re would get
from any COW. The animal is perfectly
healthy, and the owner anticipates no
trouble in making a good COW out of it.
The calf is yellow, and is marked In
great shape, having all those natural
marks which Mr.. King believes midi
cate a profitable milk producer.
