The American Soldier.

The American soldier is more
than soldier; he is a man. He
does not fight for money, for favor,
or for glory, but for cause. Fight
ing is not his trade; but when the
time comes that truth and justice
are assailed, he is there to defend.
The American spirit is quite diff
ferent from that of any other
nation. Self-government carries
with it the duty of self-sacrif1ce.
The stars and stripes appeals to
every man as his own flag. 1t is
not the Presidents or Secretary of
Wars, or the State of Ohio's but
his own. He has as much per-
sonal interest in it as any man in
the land has. 1t represents his
home. 1t kindles his hope. The
spirit of the Onward march of
the people breathes from every
fold. 1t is this that carries him to
the mouth of the blazing cannon.
It is this that inspires him to defy
death. 1t seems very strange, but
the grand fact CLEANS from every
lefeld.-Ironton Register.

Unsettled Milk Fight.

The semi-annual meeting of the directors
of the milk producers union and the milk
contractors last week was unusually ami
mated. 1t was the meeting to make q
price on milk for the next six months, and
the natural difficulties were intensified by
the indisereet, inaccurate paragraphs which
some one had set afloat in the daily papers.
Some OF these items had stated that the
milk producers were preparing to handle
the milk themselves the coming six months,
and would be able to sell it 10 the Boston
peddlers at less than had heretofore been
paid. while netting to the farmers larger
sum. This possibility of buying milk
lower had so misinformed the peddlers and
unsettled the market that the contractors
were seriously agitated and hardly knew
what offer to make. The paragraphs
showed some knowledge OF the Boston
milk business, and the contractors assumed
that the information came from some eff
Ger If the union. The directors promptly
disclaimed all responsibility for the articles,
and emphatically repudiated them, express

ing the opinion that il any officer should fur |
nish such false and injurious statements to
the daily press he ought 10 be dropped. |
This episode introduced into the meeting q
personal element, aud much vituperative
talk was the result.
Upon getting down to business, the milk
union asked the contractors that the long
price during the coming six months be the
same as last summer. and that the con-
tractors should pay full price for a portion
OF the surplus equal to 10 per cent of the
sales. This the contractors emphatically
rejected. They said that before the
appearance of the unfortunate articles in
the daily papers, they had agreed among
| themselves to pay last summers price for
all the milk they could sell again and for
an additional amount equal to IL per
cent of their sales; they could do no better
than this and could keep this offer open
only limited time
After much discussion, during which the
two parties held separate conferences, the
directors OF the union rec9ded from their
first proposition, and agreed to take last
summers price for all milk that could be
sold again, and for an additional amount
equal to 5 per cent of the sales. This new

the meeting dissolved.
Meanwhile, there is intense feeling over
the situation on the part of the milk pro
ducers, such as has not been equalled for
years. Many expressions of opinion are
coming to US, far beyond the capacity OF
any publication. The conservative element
feel that if last summers price can be main
tanned with full price for any of the sur
plus, the result will be GAIN because dur
ing the current three months, full price has
been paid for no surplus. One OF the d.
rectors, who represents this conservative
element, incurred some opposition and
feeling by moving to accept the offer of the
contractors. The more radical element of
the union, and those who feel that great
J gains can be made by Mr.. Bowker's untir-
ing energy and persistent push, are greatly
disturbed at the situation; they feel much
aggrieved that any surplus proposition was
made, and are also quite critical because
} he directors did not stand their ground on
J the 10 per cent proposition.

North WalpOle Water.

The North Wslpole Aqueduct Co. will
further improve its system the
present season. The old pumping station
will be removed and a new one much
larger and of modern structure will be
erected in its place. A new engine will
also be purchased. The company proposes
to build new reservoir Of much larger
capacity than the one now in use and cal
culated to meet the demands Of the village
for several years. Replacing much of the
old piping with iron is also contemplated.
The company is composed of men who
are evidently up to date and are deter
mined to give their patrons first class SER
vice. With the recent improvements and
those contemplated coupled with the excel.
lent quality OF the water, North Walpole
will eventually have as good water system
as any town in New England.

FIR. Fighting In CIaremont

In speaking Of the fire in the Hotel
Claremont block Wednesday morning the
rlaremont Advocate does not pay the fire
department of that village very high COM
pliment. 1t says:
The 6remen responded promptly, but
fog a long time their efforts to reach the
flames, being misdrec'ed, were of no avail
Their first attempt was to run hose up
the stairs. This they did, but the heat
drove them back. Once more outside, the
tremen directed a stream against the win
dow in the attic within which the red glare
showed. This did no earthly use, and in
the mean time the fire was eating fast into
the wooden frame of the building. About
half an hour after the alarm was rung in,
an attempt was made to raise long lad
der. to break in the attic window. The
ladder fell foul of telegraph wires which
the firemen forgot were there, and had to
be taken down, with no good accomplished
When the firemen reached the scene the
electric lights were not on and fumblng
with apparatus in the darkness was not cal
culated to produce the best results. Lat, r
the lights were turned on. Throughout
the ordeal the firemen worked with a will
and took every risk in brave manner. But
the lack OF head to direct their move
ments was painfully apparent. For half
an hour a stream was directed against a
closed window; the stupidity would have
been laughable had it not been 30 nearly
criminal. For nearly an hour after the
alarm the flames gathered Roadway, while
the firemen worked c"aselessly, but aim
lessly. The ease with which the fire was
conquered once the water was turned onto
it, shows what might have been done had
there been intelligent direction of affairs at
the beginning"
1t is stated that the cause of the fire was
unknown. Insurance of $4,000 on the
hotel furniture and $50, 900 on the build
ing will fully cover all loses.

GOSSIP FOR SOCIAL CIRCLES
WEALTHY COUPLE ASSUME THE
 NAME OF BROWN.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, Oct. 24-Auburn society will be startled when it learns that the Browns, who recently purchased the handsome fruit farm and villa home of the Pointings, are not the Browns, but their true name Is Barron. Several months ago MT. and Mrs. G. E. Brown. hailing from San Francisco, located iii Auburn for the benefit of MT. Browns s health, who unmistakably showed signs of lung trouble. At first they rented, and while they did not entertain they lived we'll and apparently had lots ot money. This latter fact was Ver1hed some time later by the purchase of the Pointing ranch at d big price, for ranch would certainly not be a moneyed investment to a sick man. A week or so ago MT. and Mrs. Brown went to San Francisco and it is learned that MT. Brown has since died.
 On reading the account in The Call of Saturday last of the death of George E. Barron The Calls representative here began to compare notes and now finds that George E. Barron of San Francisco was none other than George B. Brown of Auburn. The deed to the Pointing place gives the name of Bar ron. The agent who made the sale says the name first given him was Brown, but when the deed was filed the name recorded was Barron. George k. Brown of Auburn was certainly George E. Barron of San Francisco, son of millionaire Barron and noted for the bitterness of the contest he waged in the courts of San Jose against the pro- visions of his fathers will. It is be- lieved that prior to their departure for San Francisco MT. Barron made a gift deed to his wife, or at any rate the woman who passed as such.

MISS EMMA A. SMITH IS ONE
MRS. v. RYAN, HER NIECE, THE
 OTHER VICTIM.
Both Bodies Recovered-No Witness to the Sad Occurrence and Only Surmise as to How It
 Happened.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VALLEJO, Oct 24.-Miss Emma A Smith of San Francisco and her niece, Mrs. Vincent Ryan, were drowned in the bay here to-day shortly before noon They had been staying at house on Florida street. few yards from the water front The younger woman had been under treatment at sanitarium at St. Helena and came to Vallejo last Thursday. She was suf- fering from melancholia, and her aunt was taking care of her.
 The two ladies left the house about 10 o'clock this morning for a walk and were not seen again alive. Their bod ies were found shortly after noon, that of Miss Smith near Kane's wharf and that of Mrs. Ryan near Virginia street wharf, where the tide had washed it.
 There is nothing to indicate how the two ladies came to their death, but 1t is surmised that Mrs. Ryan, in her de- mented condition, Jumped from the wharf and her aunt leaped into the water to save her, or that Miss Smith was seized by Mrs. Ryan and they fell from the wharf together. Both were fully dressed and showed no sign of struggle.
 Coroner Trull was notified and the bodies were taken to Connollys under taking parlorS and prepared for burial. It was learned that each had a brother in San Francisco, J. F. Smith and W. R. She'll They were notified and ar rived in Vallejo tonight to take charge of the remains. An inquest will be held tomorrow morning and the re- mains will be shipped to San Francisco tomorrow night.
 MT. Smith received the Coroner's dis patch from Vallejo at o'clock yester- day afternoon and immediately left for that place. Inquiries made at his resi- dence last night revealed the fact that Miss Smith had been a sufferer for some time from mental nervousness. Three months ago Mrs. Ryan accom- panied her to the sanitarium at St He lena, and about two weeks ago they went to Vallejo, hoping the change would prove beneficial. At times the unfortunate woman was very violent. The family are of the opinion that Miss Smith attempted to throw herself into the water, and that in trying to pre- vent her from doing so Mrs. Ryan was dragged off the wharf and both were drowned
