John Hintz, of Stevens Point, tE
Victim of the Accident.
WAS KILLED BY THE $500
A Strange Case, When the Man StooN 1sazz
if Stupefid While the On-Corring
Train Bore Down On Him
With the Usual Result

John Hintz of Stevens Point mar
killed near Nash Monday, by the
Omaha ''scoot," or short-line. He
had walked to Nash from ashland.
and as the train came along APP
peared to hesitate whether or not to-
get off the track. He seemed stupe-
fed. It was impossible 10 stop the
train, and he was run over. He was,
brought here still alive and attended,
by DR.. Spears at the old town haEB.
Both legs were found to be broken,.
and he was otherwise frightfully in
jured. He lived but short time.
The man had two sons working in
the woods here and they will take
the remains back to Stevens Point,
for burial today. He was about
fifty years old and had just arrived
here. People who were with the.
man in Ashland said he had not.
drank anything to speak of, and his
strange actions resulting in his,
death are unaccountable. An I'm
quest was held here Tuesday, the
jury finding practically as Indicated
above.

been a great friend of education,

urgently requested that another

lleved it better policy to honor the
name OF some illustious person who
was not living. Accordingly the
name Garfield was selected

TAKES 1T HARD.

Brother bucket Goes Into paroxmy of
Sarcasm.
Brother 'Jim" bucket is evident
ly unable to subs oantiate the story
he told of the Washburn girl wear
ing sandpaper on her insteps to
make rustic with, and when we
got after him and came back on the
Ashland girl he crawls out in this
manner and says:
1t was simply cruel the way Bro.
Jones OF the Washburn Times roasted
us about our little item regarding
the sand-paper-silk skirt and we are
not done writhing and groaning yet.
Such burning and pitiless sarcasm
should have been put away with the
rest of the instruments of torture
used in the Spanish inquisitions;
they are positively without mercy
and we feel SO deeply cut up about
the matter that we hardly dare show
our face on the public street. Oh!
how could you, Bro. Jones, be so
cruel as to insinuate that our girls
wore false hair. Oh! the whitening
sarcasm, the deadly ironry CON tanned
in that shcrt article in the Times.
OF course if we had known that the
girl we wrote about was an object of
interest to Editor Jones we SHOULD mt
have did it" but now that we have
found out that he takes it as a per-
sonal matter, we are only too happy
to say we are SORRY and won't do it
again, if he'll only not roast us in
such a cruel manner. Now you
won't, will you Bro. Jones?

WRITES UP DRUMMCND.
The Rust-Owen Lumber Comp any as Seen
by the Ashland Press.


by the Ashland Press
The northern lumber concerns
making lumber that is all white
plue are very few, but the Rust
owen Lumber company at Drum
! mond is one that claims that dis
| tinction. To be sure it's timber
Holdings embrace some Norway, but
for years it's cutting has been con-
fined to whitepine, and it is a class
of white pine that more nd arly cor
responds to the ''cork pine" of Mich
igan than any other timber now re-
naming IN the north, with the ex-
ception of the timber of the North
Wisconsin Lumber company, at
Hayward, Wisconsin. The timber
of these two concerns practically ad-
joins, and is of about the same class.
The lumber that these two concerns
put on the market is of an excellent
variety, and has bufded for them a
high reputation.
Owing to the death of Ralph E.
Rust a year ago, at the last annual
meeting of the members of the Rust
Owen Lumber company, a change
was made in the officers of the com
pany, A. J. Rust, of Eau Claire, be-
ing elected secretary and treasurer
in place of the deceased. John S.
Owen, of Eau Claire, also retired
from the presidency, and F. W.
Gilchrist, the well known Alpena,
(Michigan) lumber man was made
president. Mr.. Owen continues a
member of the company, however,
as in the past. Frank Drummond
continues as president and gen.
eral manager of the business.
Mr.. Drummond reports an excep-
tionally good years business. He
says the company continues to ship
heavily both east and west, the
lumber it makes being we'll suited to
the Nebraska and south western
grade as we'll as to the eastern de-
mand: owing to its being sawed
thicker than most of the interior
mills saw, and also being practical
ly all white pine. Three cargocs
have been shipped to the east from
Ashland, the lumber going by rail
from Drummond to Ashland, and
two more cargoes will probably be
loaded before the close of navigation.
The mill runs eleven hours day and
will make cut of about 80, 900, 900
feet this year. 1t has it's own log
ging railroad, with about thirty
five miles of rail, three loco
motives and 100 cars, and has tim
Der sufficient to continue manu-
featuring for many years to
come.
Drummond is an exclusively saw
mill town, the company owning the
town site and allowing no saloons.
The company has large store and
Office adjoining.

McNULTY WRITES AGAIN.
Some Descriptions of the Philippine Me-
tropolis Soldiers Landed Dec. 1 l..
MANILA. p. l., Dec. II, '9S.

MANILA, L, l., DcC' II, JO'
Dear folks at home:-I received a
letter from you today. 1t was writ
ten the 5th OF November. / am glad
to hear you are all well. am feeling
fine now.
We came on shore on the 11th and
went into barracks. Just our bat
talon is in this building and the four
companies are in one room. The 3rd
battalion is about four blocks from
here and the 1st about seven blocks.
Our regiment mounts 106 guards
and 10 non-commissioned officers every
morning. That will make me come
on guard about every two weeks, but
private will come on every week.
We have very nice barracks and are
in the second story. The first story
was the old Spanish revenue officers
apartments. but it is closed now and
we are guarding it and also the
streets. There are over $4,000, 900
worth of revenue stamps locked up in
those rooms. a stamp that cost 10c
is worth sc in our money. We have
dining room and kitchen on the same
floor the revenue offices are on. and
have shower bath in connection.
We had shower baths on the ship, but
had to use salt water and it did not
take the dirt off very well.
Our barracks are right by the La
sascro canal, which is always full of
small boats. They are called 'cas-
cos" and are used to unload ships.
We are in the worst part of the city.
What | mean by worst is it is the
toughest. Some of the soldiers shoot
native or a Spaniard about every
night,
was out riding in one of their cabs
yesterday. Was all over town and
went out to Fort Palate, one of the
old Spanish forts. There is big hole
in it, showing where Dewey sent a
shell through it. 1t is about a quar-
ter of a mile from the insurgent
post. The ride cost another party and
myself 25 cents.
] send you silk handkerchief which
cost 20 cents, If you want any more
let me know, but in doing so it will
be necessary to send the money, as we
are little hard up just now.
These people here are great on the
Jew. You ask the price of an article;
they will tell you five dollars, but will
give it to you for one dollar before
they will let you go, 1t costs me 35c
to get my washing done, which is
about the same as l had to pay in
San Francisco.
They are sending some troops down
to IloilO.
They do not allow US to drink the
water until il is boiled and then fill
tered. 1t is a guard house offense to
be caught drinking the water that has
not gone through this process,
Well, as l have some other letters to
write, | must close. Write often.
Love to you all; regards to everyone.
Affectionately,
Your son and brother,

Considerable enthusiasm has been
aroused among the High scnool pupils
concerning the building of county
High school here. We are desirous Of
having an institution which will en-
able us to enter the university with

Further more, il will be building
that will not be a disgrace to the town
