of Withdrawal of
Kettle River Line Incorporation.

MONTREAL, April 25.-It is learned
from Ottawa that the measure for the
incorporation of the Kettle River Rail
way company, which was introduced into
the house by Harold Roestruck, M. p,
will be withdrawn, and that the action
is the result of an agreement participant
ed in by the Grand Trunk & Canadian
Pacific railway company and Messrs. Hill
and Corbin in whise interests the meas
ure of last year was introduced.
AT the recent annual meeting of the
Grand Trunk railway stockholders in
London, General Manager Hayes, in adj
dressing the gathering, indicated that
there existed the most amicable arrange
ments between the management of the
two great Canadian railway companies,
and there was no prospect of there ever
being another rate war such as existed
last year. Mr.. Hayes meant nothing
more than this when he referred to the
amicable feeling between the two rail-
ways and it is believed it was under
stood then that the Kettle river bill was
to be abandoned but for various rea-
sons it was not considered advisable to
make any announcement to that effect
at this time.

ASTORIA, Or, April 25.-That the en-
tire party which left Seaside April Z, on
a timber cruise are dead Is an assured
fact as the bodies of three have already
been found and search is still in progress

weakest member Of the party. As soon

party, which consisted of P. q. Heilmann,
Of this city; w. T. RAIDER, timber To-
Gator, Of Portland, and A. J. Cloutrie, of
Seaside, who accompanied the party as a
guide. Indian Louie has returned and
states that they found the dead bodies
Of Hickman and RAIDER, at the foot of
Sugar Loaf mountain, some distance
apart, and about three miles from where
IIoty's body was found. 1t Is generally
supposed that death was the result Of
eating poisoned canned meat or vege-
tables.

Chicago's New Elevator System.

CHICAGO. April 25.-According to the
statement of Attorney John M. Duffy,
who drew up and had presented to the
city council an ordinance granting to the
Chicago Great Western Elevated Rail-
way company franchise to construct a
new elevated system for the three divi-
sions of Chicago, the new system will
soon be working in this city. 1t is claimed
for the system that it has many advan-
tages over the ways now in use. 1t oc-
be run successfully through an alley,
the road being supported on but single
line of iron posts. Henry D. Cook, the
inventor, claims that speed can be at
tanned many times greater than by the
ordinary method.

TESTIFY TO INSANITY.
Defense in Hampton Case Produce
Witnesses to Prove 1t.

Manitowoc, Wis, June % Special. !
The evidence introduced by the defense
in the Hampton murder case this morn
ing was on the same lines as that of yes
terday. @. Bartelme, who was inmate
Of the county Jail, testified that Hemp
ton would ask the same question a num-
Der of times and was forgetful. Chief
Pierce and Capt. earle of the police tes-
tilted that the prisoner did not act I'M
usually excited, or as if insane when ar
rested. Miss Hampton, Il sister, testi-
fled to the prisoners acting peculiarly at
times while at home. The defense will
attempt to prove that the prisoner has
been subject to fits of insanity since he
was years Of age. Mrs. Hampton,
mother of the prisoner, testified that
while on the farm when he was s years
of age the prisoner was run over by q
team and suffered injuries to his head
which affected his brain. \ little later
he had his head injured while chasing
chickens. Since these injuries he has at
times acted strangely.
Jerry ReardJn testified that about six
teen years ago while Hampton was in
the grocery business he, on several occa-
siOns, accompanied him home and noticed
that he acted strangely.
George Gibson testified that when
Hampton lived with his first wife he was
called in by the family and found that
Hempton had attempted to shoot himself
but failed, his hair was singed and a
pillow scorched from the effects of the
shot. Shortly after his attempt to COM
nit suicide he was confined to the North
ern hospital at Oshkosh.

WANT 1000 MEN.
Scarcity Of Labor is keenly Felt
at West Superior-High
Wages Offered.

West Superior, Wis, June 3O.-[Spe-
cial. There is decided shortage in the
supply of labor in this part of the coun-
try. The several employment agencies
of this city and the city's own free en-
ployment agency estimate that there are
places for from 1000 to 1900 men i'll this
vicinity at this time at wages ranging
from S1.15 to - per day. They cannot
secure the men to ill the orders. Con-
tractors and lumbermen find it almost
impossible to secure the necessary num-
Der of men to carry on their work and
in some instances as high as $3.50 per
day has been paid. The general pay Of
fered is So per day and it is difficult to
obtain men at that price. Men are need
ed especially for railroad work and work
in the woods. There have been few la
Dor difficulties this spring in this city,
the one or two incipient strikes which
occurred being quickly stopped by the
granting of the raise OF wages and the
price of a days labor has gone up all
along the line.

RESORT FOR PEDAGOGUES
Chicago Teachers Acquire Proper
ty for Summer Home.
IN TOWN OF AUBURN.
Three Hundred will Spend the Sea-
SON in Cottages in Fond du
Lac County.

Fond du Lac Wis, June 30.-[Spe-
cial. Three hundred Chicago peda-
gogues will air themselves and rest their
weary minds and bodies at Sand lake
this summer and in years to come. The
Teachers association of that city has
just closed deal with Bowe Il Van
Blacom of this city for the transfer Of
800 acres of land surrounding Sand lake,
a beautiful little body of water IN this
county, in the town of Auburn. 1t Is
proposed to develop this region into a
summer resort, to be used by the mem
bers of the association. Work on erect
ing cottages will be begun next week, so
that it will be only a short time before
some of the members will be enjoying
their outing here.
The association has for some time past
been considering site at Berlin, near
Green Lake, and had also looked over
a site near Waukesha. This, however,
was considered the most desirable loca-
ton and could be had at the most rea-
sonable figure. The lake is an exception
ally good one for fishing, black bass being
found there IN large numbers. 1t is Il
pretty spot and conducive to the whole
some recreation that is not so often found
at the crowded popular resorts.

marshal at Tony donated pair of over

awaiting examination, which will occur
as soon as his mind is quieted sufficiently
to have him understand what is wanted.

opinion that the man will regain his
sense of speech and he has so far i'm
proved in this gift as to be able to state
that he came from Canada, but what
place and at what time he cannot tell.
although he makes an effort to.
The identity of this man Is still Il mys-
terry. One popular theory which has
been advanced is that he is an escaped
inmate Of an insane asylum somewhere.
He has been roaming in the woods for
long time, however, and has evidently
wandered many miles from where he be-
longs. Aside from the violence he ex-
hbited at the time of his capture, he has
acted quite nationally. An effort is being
made by the authorities to locate his
former home Before an examination is
made his beard and hair will be trimmed
down, and be will be given Il new suit
Of clothes. The man insists on wearin 9
the clothes he was captured in, consisting
chiefly Of a gunny-sack. He raises strong
objection when motioned to remove his
