To the Editor OF The Pilot

The fire that almost wiped out the
village of Weyauwega, leaving 1,500
OF 1000 inhabitants homeless, is only
another OF the many instances where
whole villages or cities were destroyed
by single contiagration.
Surprising that local insurance
company had placed many risks in
that village, the result would be al
most utter ruin Of its people This
should serce as another Earning for
our local ms. Co., because there is al
ways the danger that future officers
will place too many risks in bunch,
IN spite of the good intentions of the
organizers and present officers of the
company, especially if a number of
years have passed without any serious
losses. Weyauwega and many other
towns similarly afflicted, were never
destroyed by fire before, and our city
is as much in danger as those, includ
ing Chicago and Boston.

with electric wires and the engineers
have arranged to have batteries located

an apparatus was used by the enemy to
sever the connecting wires and break
the circuit, the torpedoes still could be
exploded from either enid of the line.

THEIR WEIRD IDEAS.
English Preconception of Life In the
Northwest.

English Preconception of Life In the
Northwest.
During his recent trip west General
Passenger Agent Fee of the Northern
Pacific met a cattleman from Edmon-
ton, N. w. T., who gave him a lot Of
good stories about the experiences Of
raw Englishmen passing through AL
berta territory toward Klondike. They
had intended to take the almost impas-
BILE Canadian route to the goldfelds,
but generally found Edmonton cold
enough to call halt. Few ever pro-
ceeded farther, some being afraid and
others going "broke - They brought
some remarkable outfits, showing the
lack of specific information in England
regarding western conditions Some
brought doors and window blinds, sup
posing that such luxuries could not be
purchased in Canada. Many brought
horses and baled hay from Liverpool.
The hay cost them, including the enor
nous freight charges across the ocean
and almost across the continent, $50
per ton. Better hay could be bought in
Edmonton for "a. so per ton.
A large party of Englishmen had can
vas pictures measuring about s by 4
feet, ON each of which was painted
some supposed Canadian beast, such as
a mountain lion, grizzly bear, buffalo,
elk, etc. To be prepared for any emer-
genoy the Englishmen would suspend
these pictures from trees and shoot at
the beasts hearts and heads When the
oattleman left Edmonton, most of the
outfits were in the sheriff's hands and
the tourists were boarding at the AL
berta hotel, pending the outcome Of
liquidation and awaiting the next re-
mittance from the dear little island far
away.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

PLAYED WITH WRONG MAN.
Students Paid Well For Fun They
Had With an Elderly Passenger.

Students Paid Well For Fun They
Had With an Elderly Passenger.
Half hundred students Of the medi-
cal department of the Northwestern
university had a jollification the other
night in Chicago. They took possession
of an Alley 81" train at Twenty second
street and held high jinks all the way
into town. In their own words, they
"played horse with the other passen-
gers, and they thought themselves very
smart indeed.
But they were not quite go smart as
they thought. There was an old man
aboard-a nice cid man, with a white
mustache and a silk hat-who beat
them at their own game. The occur
renee happened in the smoking car. AS
the various stations were reached and
passengers tried to get out of the car
the students assisted. "Pass him aIong"
was the cry, and the unfortupate pas
senger was lifted bodily over the heads
of the students, tossed in the air, and
finally thrown out upon the platform
The guards told the unruly students to
cease their rough behavior or leave the
train, but the admonitions fell on un-
fruitful ground. The fun grew more
and more hilarious until Adams street
was reached.
At this point the old man with the
white mustache got up to leave. He
was in the extreme end of the car,
away from the door. "Pass him along !"
shouted the students. "Help the old
gentleman out They helped him out
They tossed him up to the ceiling, they
dropped him to the floor, they wedged
him here and there, they played horse
with him. And after they had tossed
him out at last they felt SO hilarious
that they smashed each others hats
with their canes. At o'clock the same
