Fire in the Wisconsin Town
Causes a Loss of Three Hum
bred Thousand.
Area of Nine Acres Burned Over
and Millions of Feet of Lum-
Der Destroyed.
Change of Wind at Critical Stage
of the Fire Saves COnsidera-
BILE Property.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Oct. 17.-Fire broke
out in the saw mill district during the
day and in three hours it destroyed
nearly $685. worth of property.
mostly lumber stock. The fire spread
over an area of nine acres, the district
burned being between Black Hawk,
Osceola, Pearl streets and the river.
The Diamond Match company is the
heaviest loser, it's loss being placed at
$4,000. The company had between
5000, 900 and 6,o0O,0o feet of match
splint lumber. valued at from $25 to $35
per 1000. This was nearly all de-
stroyed.
The fire started in the dressed lum-
Der shed of the HOLSTER Ames com.
pany and spread with remarkable rap
idity throughout the lumber yard. The
Hollister-Ames company places its loss
at $50. 900.
Change Of Wind Aids Firemen.
In the same block as the Diamond
Match company, the Challoners Sons
Foundry company suffered a loss of be-
tween $l5, 900 and 10000, their wood
patternshops and several small store
buildings in which were stored finished
ice machines and shingle machines be-
ing destroyed. The wind blew strong
from the west and would have taken
the entire plant, but at critical time
the wind changed and blew in another
direction so that the foundry proper
was saved. The saw mill of the Hol-
lister-Ames Lumber company was
saved, being across the street from the
yard.
Assistance was asked of the fire de.
partments of Fond du Lac, Neenah,
Menasha and Appleton, but before any
outside engines appeared the orders
were countermanded as it was believed
the city department could meet all re-
Qulrements necessary. 'r-

region during the night for the Pan.
ther Creek valley where they expected
to close all of the 10 collieries of the Le-
high Coal and Navigation company,
but just as the weary marchers were
nearing their destination they were
met on . mountain road by three COM
panies Of infantry and at the point Of
the bayonet were driven back four
miles to Tamaqua and dispersed. An
other crowd of 800 strikers from the
north side of Hazleton also marched
here and succeeded in closing the COM
pany's No 1 .colliery near Mauch
Chunk before it was scattered. The
presence Of the soldiers was entirely
unexpected and the
strikers Were Much CrestfaIlen
that they failed in accomplishing the
object of their long march. It was
probably the most exciting morning
that the Panther Creek and the Mes
quehoning valleys have ever expe-
rienced. Strikers were scattered over
the various roads and companies of sol
diers were scurrying in all directions
heading off the marching men. The
troops were patient with the mob of
strikers, while the labor men were very
careful not to commit overt acts in the
presence of troops. For a moment just
after the two forces met on the road in
the darkness it looked as if clash
would come, but the good sense of
those who had charge of the strikers
prevented possible conflict. Those
who took part were strikers from Nc
Adoo, Yorktown, Bunker Hill and Sill
yer Brook, from the south side of
Hazleton, and the Freeland, Drifton,
Jeddo and Beaver Meadow strikers
from the north side.

Probable Early Settlement of the Coal
Miners Strike.
New YORK, Oct. 17.-Local coal deal
ers say that the great strike is fast
nearing an end and that the miners
will go back to work within a week.
The heads of the big coal carrying
roads say little to confirm such an
opinion, but one of them, after being
pressed for his own views, intimated
that there would be settlement in the
near future. Others lay the response
bility on President Mitchell, saying
that he has not yet informed them Of

PERSONS DAIRY.
A Model Milk House, Ho1stein
Cows, Feed Quarters and
Ranch.

A DISPATCH reporter called at w.
H.. Persons ranch the other day and
was invited to take a squint at things.
Time allowance was short but we
saw enough to make us glad for the
visit. The striking feature of the whole
works is a milk house. The walls are
eighteen inches, cement, strong and
good looking. Mr.. Pierson did most
OF the work himself and has a valuable
piece of farm property at small cost.
The floor is cement. There are three
windows and one door and ventilation
is perfect. There is a ventllator in the
ceiling extending through the roof and
two between the ceiling and the roof.
The pan racks are circular, easily
handled and hold 40 pans Of ream
There are three racks now and more
are needed. The room is kept at a
temperature of so degrees. A thirty
gallon barrel churn makes the butter
which is kept in a cupboard in the
milk house. The milk house certainly
has no superior In the State and Mr..
Plerson a justly feel proud Of 1t.
Then there is another room fully
equipped with all needed apparatus to
to keep pans and cans and everything
needed clean and wholesome. In the
dairy herd the animals are Holsteins
principally. They are gentle. rolling
fat, and are given an abundance Of pure
water and alfalfa hay. The feed racks
we're full and everything Is done for the
stock to make pure and wholesome
milk. Mr.. Pierson is fattening a
Xmas beef and It Is now round as a
barrel. We could not see room for
improvement. A forty-pound turkey
is being stuffed" as the host says, for
Xmas. That turkey is a beautiful bird
and is confined in a pen and fed such
stuff as will make the incest Favored
meat. The porkers are hearty and
round and fat and of selected stock.
When getting them ready for slaughter
they are grain fed. The ranch is grow
ing in beauty. use and acreage, and is
one Of the finest pieces Of property in
this section. Mr.. Pierson seeks to
conquer more land and 0 his hold
ings will stretch away 70 the foothills.

Waugh of Vermont remarks III MS i'iat

impossible to give direct aHs"er'
However. Professor Waugh gives

ion:

AS to culture, Professor Waugh adj
vises:
Soil.-Thc cherry tree requires dry
soil. 1t will grow on poor, rocky or
thin soils and without much plant rood,
but II will net thrive on wet land. or
course it is not at its best on poor soils
and, like other plants will repay bet

Zone of the best Russian varieties; character
lied by It's comparatively short stem; fruit large
dark red; quality eXccllont.l
is a safe distance for common varieties
on ordinary soils. Morellos On strong
soils should have 20 fee. Cherries
may be grown in sod and iii do com
parNtively better in such { scumstanccs
than apples.
Pruning. -Chorics need very little
pruning. Some small effort is required
during the first few years to secure
trees Of the best form. but such cutting
as is not required in shaping the heads
may usually be dispensed with.
Hardness. Practically al the sour
cherries are hardy enough for any sit
ualion in Vermont. Vladimir and
Schntun Amarele are recommended
to very timid planters.
Diseases and Insocts.-Thc enemies
with which the cherry grower has to
contend in this country are (a) black
knot, % brown rot Of the fruit (c) cur
culio and "a birds. The one safe and
practicable protection against curculio
and birds is to grow cherries enough
for them ana for the family or market
besides. Black knot is seldom trouble
some, but has been very serious the
past year or two. The fruit rot is not
likely TO do great damage in this state.
Picking Marketing. Etc - Cherries
should be picked with the stems on.
If they are for market this is impcra-
tive When the fruit rot is bad, ii is
necessary TO attend very closely to the
picking, for the cherries rot with as
tonishin@ rapidity when they are once
ripe. They should be picked rs soon
as Is consistent with good quality. and
the picking should be done when the
sun shines and the fruit is dry.
III sending cherries to market under
present conditions in Vermont the com
mon quart boxes used for strawberries
are best. Cherries ought to be plenty
enough SO that they could be sold by
the peck Think of selling potatoes or
apples by the quart! The fact is there
are not one-tenth as many cherries
grown in Vermont as the market de.
mands.

Caucus Laws.

Resolved, That the great reforma-
tion effected in our general elections
through the Australian ballot inspir-
ed'us with confidence to apply the
same method IN making nominations,
SO that every voter may exercise his
sovereign right of choice by direct
vote without the Intervention or in
reference Of any political agency
We, therefore, demand the caucuSes
and conventions for the nomination
of candidates for Office be abolished by
legislative enactment and that all
candidates for state leg slative, con-
greSsional and county officers be NOM
mated by primary elections upon the
same day by direct vote under the
Australian ballot.
The above is a plank from the plat
form of the Republican party in Wis
consin. Its author, Robert NJ. La
Palette, of Madison, is the candidate
of the party in that state, SO it would
see that the party is fully committed
to the plan.
We believe it will work well in
Wisconsin and would work we'll in
this state. 1t would certainly settle
the question of which candidates the
people wanted
1t would make it impossible for
shrewd politicians to manipulate eau
cuses and thus carry conventions
against the will of the majority of the
people.
A plan that embraces some of the
features of the Wisconsin idea has
been successfully tried in Randolph
and several other towns in the sclcc-
ton Of town representatives.
in these towns no caucus is held by
either party but the names Of all the
candidates are placed upon the Official
ballot by nomination papers duly filed
with the town clerks.
This idea was the result of the
failure of the caucus candidates to be
elected in several instances and was
adopted in the interest of harmony by
the party committees and has been in
force through several elections.
Like the Wisconsin plan it abolshes
the caucus. AS only few names are
required to nomination papers it gives
all the voters chance to have the
name of the candidate they prefer on
the ballot.
1t was urged, at first, against the
plan, that it would require too much
time to secure an election, but the
result has proven the contrary.
If there is any better plan than
those above outlined let them be
brought forward.
