PATIENT LEAVES
HIS BED AT NIGHT,
Andrew Johnson of Racine Though
to Have Drowned in the
River.

Racine, Wis, Sept. 2.-[Special. An
drew Johnson, aged % years, a popular
young man of the west side, has disap-
peared from his home and his parents be-
lieve that he jumped into the river last
night. This afternoon the lifesaving
crew was notified and began a search for
the body, but without success. The ia
Their states that his son was sick and had
taken several trips on the schooner Lydia
to recuperate. After Andrew came back
he was taken sick with malaria fever
Last night he was suffering considerably
and his father stayed at his bedside until
II o'clock. 1t was discovered later that
the bed was empty and a search for the
young man was fruitless. 1t is thought
that Andrew got up from his bed and
barefooted, walked to the river and
plunged in. Footprints were found on
the soft earth which lead to the river.
Three young men, who were passing the
scene of the supposed drowning last night
at about the time young Johnson disap-
peared, said they heard d splash, but did
not stop to investigate.

NO MORE TIME CHECKS.
Lumbermen Obliged to Abandon

EXPENSE OF LOGGERS.
Total Shortage of Over Four Hum

Oconto, Wis, Sept. 2.-[Special. lit
is the intention of nearly all lumbermen
in this part of the state to revert to the
cash payment system in settling with
men employed in the logging woods. At
a meeting recently held it was the con-
census of opinion that the time-check
policy would result in great inconveni-
ence in obtaining sufficient number of
men to do the work, for jobs and money
are too plentiful these days, and cash in
hand, when a man asks for his time in
mid-winter, is preferable to being paid
off with a time-check, which cannot be
converted into money at the company S
office before April l. 1t must be cashed
elsewhere, and at Il discount, If the Ia
borer desires ready money.
Loggers assert that it will cost at least
81 mere to put in 1000 feet of logs this
year than it did last Flour, hay ana
axes that could be bought last, year for
$50 4 dozen now sell for $11; crosscut
saws are IS cents a foot, last season 90
cents; log chains have doubled in value;
beef and> pork nearly = cents higher.
Wages during the season of 1S9S-99
ranged from so to $50 month. Men
are now being offered 500 to $50.

market for white pine is undoubtedly
due TO the small supply and in analyzing
this condition the Mississippi Lumber
man gives the following figures: Sixty
two mills in the Mississippi valley and
thirteen in the Wisconsin valley have
been asked how much more stock they
have on hand than they had August Is,
1898. The following summary of re-
turns is made on the compiled answers
Of siXty-fOur of these mills and on close
estimates of the stocks known to be car
ried by ali but six of the others: In the
northern Minnesota district the present
shortage is 17.500.000 feet: in the St
CroiS valley, 100000 feet in Mime
apolis, 44,500.000 feet; in Winona and
La Crosse district, 31,55O.OOO feet; in
the north Wisconsin and Chippewa val
ley district, 40. 131 900 feet; in the upper
middle river district 79,600000 feet; in
the lower river district, 37,950.000 feet;
in the Wisconsin valley. SO, 1850 feet
"a total shortage for the entire terri
tory of 2S1 ,440, 96S feet Close estimates
from mills not heard from swell the ac-
tual shortage to figures considerably be-
yond 100000 feet.

merable of picking up germs of typhoid,

some persons actually put such things in
their mouths. if not too large, says the

Before eating or touching that which
