New York. July 2o.-To-day opened
in quiet fashion so far as the railroad
strike in Manhattan was concerned.
Almost without exception the cars
started from the barns on schedule time

early hours OF the day. When the
first cars started this morning two
policemen were on each car and the
early trips were without incident.
General Master Workman Parsons
had been confident that to-day was te
be the big day for the strikers in Man

would be tied up and not In a position

Farms In Northern Wisconsin

are as good, if not better than farms in
any state of the Union. There is no
reason why the intending settler should
go to distant states in order to secure a
good location. Northern Wisconsin is
rapidly developing, but there are still
thousands of acres of fine hardwood
farming lands open to the settler, which
can be obtained at reasonable figures
and upon easy terms. The soil is of the
best, good roads are being put in, and
school houses are rapidly building.
The immense undeveloped resources
in the shape of rich deposits of iron ore,
clay, kaolln and mari, as we'll as large
tracts of hardwood timber, offer extra
ordinary inducements to the manufact-
urer. The Wisconsin Central lines run
through the timber and minearl belt
thus offering quick and cheap transit to
all the principal markets of the Union.

: We Are Sorry To Lose Him,

John L. Nash of the Centralia
Hardware company, brother of our
prominent townsmen L. M. and T. E.
Nash, departed Sunday evening for
Wheeling, West Virginia, where he
goes to accept lucrative position Oh
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, either
as general road master or general tie
inspector. Both of these offices were
under consideration when he left, but
Mr.. Nash was DOT positive which
line of duty would be assigned for his
attention. Mr.. Nash is not new to
the work of railroad construction, but
knows it's details thoroughly. He
acted as general superintendent of
construction under f. d. Underwood
when the 500 road was built and had
his headquarters in Minneapolis. He
came to Centralia when the Marsh
field & Southeastern roadbed was put
through and built the greater portion
of that line. Mr.. Underwood is now
the general manager of the Baltimore
& Ohio, and it is he who again calls
for the able services of Mr.. Nash.
Johns contract for services will
begin June /, but he is to spend the
month of May travelling over the en-
tire system with which he will be con-
nected in order to acquaint himself
with the requirements of his new
employment.
Mr.. Nash has for several years been
one of our most prominent and
progressive citizens and we indeed
regret to lose this worthy man. How
ever, we gladly wish him well
wherever business interests call him.
His wife will remain in Grand Rapids
few weeks until matters take a
definite form in Virginia and they
can decide upon the city that will be
''home" for the future.
The half interest held by ]. L. in
the Grand Rapids Flour Mill property
was closed out to his brother Hon. T.
E. Nash, who is now sole owner.

Reptiles and Music.

Tarantulas do not dance to the
sound Of the violin, but let the people
they bite do the dancing; scorpions,
however, enjoy fddling, and lizards go
crazy for music of any kind. As for
serpents, the boa constructor and py-
thon are senseless to melody, but the
cobra is fascinated by the flute and still
more by the fiddle. Polar bears enjoy
the violin; SO do ostriches; wolves will
stop in the chase to listen to cornet;
elephants are fond of the flute, espe-
cially the upper notes; tigers, while
approaching violin and flute, cannot
stand the harmonium, while the must
cal seal shows no emotion on hearing
any instrument, not even the bass
drum.-Quarterly Review.
