Eagle River, Wis, April 26-The
weflknown Lake Laura summer re-
sort, situated about two miles from
Star Lake, in the western part of Villas
county, owned and operated by Peter
Stein, burned to the ground with all
its contents, and Mrs. Stein, wife of
the proprietor, and her three children
were burned to death. How the fire
started will probably never be known,
as there was no person in it but Mrs
Stein and her children. The house
was situated about 100 feet back of
the saloon owned by Stein, there were
no windows in the back part Of the sa-
loon and the fire was not discovered
until MIR. Stein stepped out at the
front door, and it was then too late
to be Of any help, as the roof had
fallen in. Efforts were made to reach
the occupants, but all attempts were
useless.

HAWAIIAN
INDUSTRIES FOR HAW
WOMEN.

An essay read by a native girl on the
above mentioned subject at the closing
exercises of the Kamehameha School
for Girls, appears in another column.
1t reviews with much intelligence
the situation, and tells the plain
truth.
The ideal industry for the native
women, and indeed, for all women on
the Islands who are forced to work
for living is one that finds a ready
market abroad The home market is
insignificant, and quickly glutted.
Such industries can be found. But,
as we have said before, the proper
ones cannot be found and established
without much intelligent, persistent,
and self denying work by some one
who has the true missionary spirit In
him. tits work that has no "boom" in
view. 1t requires infinite patience and
indomitabIe pluck. The cases are rare
where a man of brains and energy has
been willing to sacrifice his own in
terests for the industrial salvation OF
Others. We are only beginning to
learn that this industrial salvation is
the forerunner of spiritual salvation.
The Apostle of Industry has as high
mission as the Apostle of Religion, if
ne acts in the same spirit. The phil
anthropists are learning in the great
cities that religion" does not flour
ish when there is want, and hunger
and dirt, and vicious surroundings.
It would be most befitting sequel
to the missionary work on these ISL
ands if one or more of those born in
the faith, should rise in his youth and
strength, and spend his years in MAX
ing this an Industrial Paradise.
Whether or not, the native women,
with their unfortunate environments,
will avail themselves of any new
methods of earning living, is an open
question. We hope that they will.
But, aside from them, there is an

BUILDING LOTS.

One of the few advantages of cen
tralized government in Europe is the
power to regulate the growth of cities
and towns; to improve streets, regulate
buildings and increase and beautify
public parks.
Public opinion must do these things
in a democracy, but the average public
opinion in the majority of places is yet
uneducated. There are some instances,
however, of remarkably fine work. Of
these Washington City is the most pro-
minent.
One of the bad features of the open
ing up of new urban and suburban
properties is the small size of the lots.
No law forbids it, and public opinion
about it is Indifferent At the same
time these small lots tend to injure
the beauty and attractiveness of the
place.
If that part of the town, which lies
between the old missionary settlement
and Punahou, had been stingily divid-
ed up into lots 5Ox1OO feet, twenty
years ago, we should not have much
to be proud of in the way of attractive
gardens and homesteads.
One could wish that no residence
should occupy less than an acre of
ground, and that the law so declared.
Since however, land has advanced in
fes Of
average resident to hold that area of
land, and we must submit to the
cramping up of our residences.
Downing in his work ON gardening
says there is a great difference between
a residence and home. No one con-
ceives a home in large city, a home
made up of bricks and mortar, with the
earth covered with pavements. 1t is
that is found there. The home de-
mands space and air, and trees, and
grass and flowers. 1t is a pity that in
the development of our suburbs this
nent. The land operator very justly
says that there is no money in senti-
ment, and the people will not pay for
space. The trouble is that few only
IAN afford to purchase space enough for
homes at the present prices of land.
1t is possible that the new Rapid
Transit Company may change condi-
lions.
There is no doubt some sentiment
here in favor of improving the city.
But it has no organization behind it,
and it dreams rather than acts. Even
he beautiful Kapiolani park is not
fully appreciated, and the burden of
it falls mainly on one per-
son.

A STOCK EXCHANGE.

The plan of organizing a stock ex-
change is excellent. So long as stocks
are bought and sold, as they will be,
the more quickly the method Of dis
posing OF them TO the best advantage
is adopted the better it will be for all.
That stock exchanges are used for
speculative purposes, and many per-
sons are inevitably ruined thereby, is
true enough. So are potatoes used for
making whiskey in Ireland. So can the
juice of the sugar cane be fermented,
and converted into alcohol. The argu-
ment urged by some that stock ex-
change will tempt young men to VEN
ture into undesirable speculatiOns, is
the foolish and impracticable argument
that a young man should be best edu-
Gated by keeping him away from
temptation. The best education a
young man can have is to face tempta-
tions and down" them. The best way
for soldier to meet his enemy is not
to run away from him, but face him.
Every few years on the Mainland
there have been hysterical periods,
during which laws have been passed
forbidding speculation in stocks, grain
or coin. AS these letters on free trade
injure commerce, they are either re-
peaIed or become dead letters. The
moment business of many kinds as
sumes certain proportions, exchanges
are more than useful; they are neces-
sary They will, of course, be used for
speculative purposes. Indeed all bust
ness has a definite element of specula-
ton in it, The Chinese vegetable gar
dener raises lettuce, on the theory, or
speculation, that some one will
buy it. Sometimes he finds no pur-
chasers. His speculation has failed.
The stock exchanges do not neces-
sarily create business. They regulate
it, if it exists Able men have tried for
thirty years to establish mining stock
exchange in New York City Every
effort has failed. Look at the general
market quotations. There is no min
ing list, because there are no substan-
tial mining properties to be dealt with. |
A stock exchange does not flourish on |
wild cat' stuff. The San Francisco |
brokers will say that.
There should be here one of the clean

Men here are quite like

prop themselves up by various con
trivances.

Return of the First Soldier.

Lieut.. Harry o. willard, of the
10th Cavalry U. s. A. and n OF the
brave boys who engaged in the
bloody fight on San Juan hill near
Santiago, reached Lewistown Thurs
day last accompanied by his father
and mother, DR.. and Mrs. j. ID.
willard. They had driven from
Great Falls by private conveyance
and after stopping for supper, pro-
ceeded to their home on East Fork,
where the wounded and tired soldier
will rest for a short time before re-
Joining his regiment which is now at
Montauk Point, Long Island. Ac-
companying the party were Mrs. and
Miss Hockenback of California,
friends of the family. Owing to the
poor team furnished them at Great
Falls, their ride had been a tedious
one and the night before they were
compelled to spend on the prairie.
Lieut.. willard has SO far recovered
from the injury he received in the
knee as to discard his crutches, but
walks with difficulty. AT the Day
House the young soldier was met by
many friends who called to pay their
respects, and was serenaded by the
brass band, the members of which
were glad to show the first return
ing soldier the honor u n who
had borne the brunt of battle. The
liutenant graduated from West
Point i'm 1896 and when war with
Spain first seemed possible, he was
eager for the fray, and awaited with
impatience for his regiment to go to
the front. Realizing that his many
friends i'm this section as we'll as a
great number OF citizens would be
pleased to hear the story of b fight
from one who participated. Lieut..
willard announced that he would
shortly set a date and place when he
could address all from one rostrum.

AMONG THE POLITICIANS.
A More or Less Reliable Forecast Of the
County Tickets In Fergus County
This Fall.

Politics are warming. Candidates
are coming out of the bushes, while
some who are likely to run are being
carefully groomed, but kept in the
dark until convention week or day.
Since the Democrats are in control
in the state and have taken the in
itiative in calling their convention,
the Fergus county representatives of
that party will probably be forced to
take the same course, though from
the adjournment of their centralcom-
mittee to a future date it would seem
they were not anxious to take the
offensive in this county.
After inquiry among prominent
Democrats e a the party throne we
are enabled to announce the follow
will make the ace this fall:
State senator-David Hilger; mem
bers of llouse-W. f. Cort, c. III. Per-
rine; attorney-Francis MACEDONIAN;
clerk. NJ. Parent; sheriff-W. ID.
Deaton: treasurer. p. Barnes; as
sessor-L. Z. Slater; superintendent
of schools-B. f. Gordon; surveyor
Abram H%ogeland.
Tom Shaw is anxious for the Dem
ocsatic nomination for sheriff and
may possibly succeed, but he has a
little the worst of it at the present
writing. NJ. j. Garrett is reputed to
be a candidate for superintendent OF
schools, but few Democrats want to
carry such a weight. In the above
list Gilt Edge is not represented and
some deal may possibly be made til
give a place to +. A. Barnes of the
gold camp, and ii so it will probably
be on the legislative ticket. Mr.. Par.
rent says he will accept the nomina.
ton for clerk provided it is given him
unanimously, otherwise he will make
h run for his present position, su'
pe~rintendent of schools. Should Mr.

ting out B. F. Gordon, a man the
party leaders feel they could much
better sacrifice to give Mr.. F. A.
Barnes a place than to set aside any
of the three above named IA legisla-
tive candidates. or course, they think
those three men are strong, but 9TH
ers differ.
In the Republican camp candidates
and those whose names are being
mentioned are more plentiful, for
a nomination on that ticket is con-
sidered from 100 to 200 votes nearer
ticket.
For the legislature the gentlemen
most frequently spoken of n w. A.
Hedges, E. P. Chandler, ID. A.
Meagher, E. w. King, F. E. Wright
and r. Won Tobel.
The other positions and the candi-
dates therefor are as follows:
Attorney, F. E. Smith; clerk, c. NJ.
Kelly, j. NJ. Campbell; sheriff, C. Nj.
Clary, w. X. Woods; treasurer, 6. NJ.
Stone; assessor, Emil Plum, Donald
Fowler; superintendent of schools,
Miss PEBBLES.
Not all of those above mentioned
are candidates, but are being urged
by friends, while possibly some who
are candidates have been overlooked,
a list of this kind being always sub.
ject to revision.
A notable instance of this kind il
for the Office of treasurer. Mr.. Stone
does not desire the position, while
Messrs. Chandler and Meagher are
frequently mentioned. Mr.. Campbell
is also averse to running for clerk,
but may be prevailed upon to do so,
w. H. Peck of Roy is also reported
to be a candidate, but for what office
is not known.
AS to the Populists, if any IN will
kindly inform us OF one we will en-
deavor to ascertain the candidates Of
his party.
