Stole the Washing, =

Early yesterday afternoon the wash =
house at the home of the Misses Acton,
on Juliana street. was relieved of a
large and valuable washing.
In the morning the clothes had been
washed and hung in the laundry to dry,
the doors and windows being unfast-
ened, After dinner all the members of
the family went away. but did not
think it necessary to lock the laundry,
as they had not been in the habit of
doing it, consequently when they re-
turned they found every article gone.
They have no idea who did the steal
ing, but evidently it was some one who
was familiar with the place and was
sadly in need of lothing.-Parkers-

INTERESTING RELICS
Found in a Mound Way up in WlscOn-

Baraboo, Wis.-While digging in a
mound for rabbits near Prairie du Sac,
John Ryan, of that place, came upon
some queer relics of, perhaps, centuries
ago. He first encountered a halberd,
such as was often carried by the Span
ish, French and other soldiers who
came to this country for adventure
The blade is over ten inches long and
about half as wide, measuring from
the edge to the neck which connects
the cutting portion of the instrument
with the part to which the handle is
attached. 1t resembled a broadax used
by carpenter, except that there had
been a sharp point on the opposite side
of the blade where the head of the ak
is located
How the halberd came to be in the
mound is a mystery. 1t is possible thai
it was carried to Wisconsin by La
Sale, Tonty, Marquette, Joliet or some
of the early explorers who came to
this State in the last half of the sew
enteenth century 1t will be remem-
bered that these early characters in
Wisconsin history journeyed from
Green Bay uD the Fox River and then
down the Wisconsin to the Mississippi.
In making the trip one way or the
other they passed along the Wisconsin
River near where the weapon was
found. 1t was probably secured by
some brave Indian in battle or in ex-
change for furs. and then buried with |
him when he was ready to deOart for
the everlasting hunting ground.

QUEER BET
And the Settlement Of Which Is Rather Ex
penSiVe.

Philadelphia.-Arra for the
were made here today between former
State Senator Charles P. Devlin and
George Washington Dasch, proprietor
of leading cafe. About a month be-
fore the Presidential election Devlin
asserted he could name fourteen States
outside of the solid South that would
cast their Electoral votes for Bryan and
Stevenson. Dasch took the bet.
1t was agreed that the loser should
hire band of twenty-five pieces, which
should act as an escort to the winner
seated in barouche drawn by four
black horses. and driven through the
principal streets of the city to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Station where
where a special train is to be in wait
ing. Winner and loser are to have the
privilege of one guest each
After reaching Washington the loser
is to put on a pair of colored glasses,
to typify his political blindness. The
glasses are to be prepared especially,
and are so dark that the wearer will
have to be led to the dining room,
where he is to pay for banquet for as
many persons as the winner chooses
to invite.
1t is agreed that the winners privi-
lege to order champagne shall be
practically unlimited. He may spend
$500 in that luxury if he so desires.
James NJ. Fitzgerald, one of the fore
most Prohibitionists of Camden coun-
ty, will be the major domo of the ex-
pedltion. The settlement of the bet
will take place on the day after the in
auguration of President Mckinley.

Loom Fixers' and Weavers' Union
Will Not Strike.
PHILADELPHIA, May 28.-The Ingram
Carpet, Loom Fixers' and Weavers'
union have decided not to insist upon
the demand recently made on the manu-
facturers for an increase of per cent in
wages to go into effect June 1. By this
decision strike of about 5000 men is
averted.
After the new scale had been pre-
sented committees representing the
union and employers held conferences,
at which the manufacturers pointed out
that they are paying at present higher
wages than are paid in other cities for
the same line OF work and they are com.
PEELED to compete with these other
places. Under such conditions thew
could not pay the advance. In conse.
Quence Of these conferences the commit
tee representing the employees advised
against pressing the demand and their
report was favorahlv received.
