and that no one was injured was due to
the GOODNESS Of Elevator Attendant Alex
Lundeen and the air cushions at the bot

unmanageable at the ground floor and
shot upwards, striking the beams in the
top of the shaft. 1t demolished several

a breakfast from one Of the oil cups, and
when the elevator was started the rodent
was caught in one of the pulley wheels
and the cable thrown off the sheave.
The rats have caused much trouble at
Temple court, owing to their fondness for

Poem to Women of Britain to BE Re-
cited by Mrs. Langtry.
NEW YORK. Feb 1O.-Mrs. Langtry
has received by cable the new patriotic
poem. entitled "The Women Of Britain"
by Ethel de Fonblanaue (Mrs. Arthur
Harter), which she will recite at the ba-
zaar at Sherrys next Tuesday for the
benefit Of British !, soldiers and their
families. The poem follows:
word for the women of Britain.
Who bid their beloved '.good-bye;''
The husbands. the brothers, the sons
who go forth fss :,
To fight and to conquer or die.
A word for the women of Britain,
Who part with the. friend they love
best, -.
And fighting their fears, smile up through
When he. too, goes, out with the rest
'Tis hard for the women of Britain,
Who stay when :. their warriors go,
The men who set forth are eager and
mad
To measure their might with the foe.
For the men there's the passion Of peril,
That lightens the hardship they bear,
For what can't they stand with a COM
rade at hand
The death or the honor to share?
For them there's the strain of the battle,
And the joy of the charge at Its height,
The cry of the clan, the shout of the man,
And the fury and throb of the fight.
In the clamor and clash Of encounter
There is valor and glory.-or death?
With the thought of the woman who
loves them
To hallow their last, dying breath
But what for the women OF Britain?
All! They need our pity the most!
In their deSOlate homes they are waiting
for news
OF the dear one who dies at his post.
For theirs is the weariest trial,
Long vigils of pain-day and night;
Sick at heart and alone, they pray at
Gods throne
For the men whom they love in the
fight.
And this is the word for the women
Ihose loved ones are far, far away,
Ihat the work to be, done for those who
remain
None else can accomplish but they:
i6ID3
And this Is the w0rkoof the women
Brave women ofsgenerous soul
10 take each her, share of the sorrow
they bear
And tighten the grief of the whole.
The gentle are helping the simple
Love and sympathy level all pride
And hearts find relief in the union of
grief
When the men fight and die side by
All the women Of Britain are equal,
FOR the men share alike in the fray,
And the rich and the poor are just sisters
In the hearts of the nation today.

CLOCK IN HER HAIR.
La Crosse Girl the Victim of q Most
Peculiar Accident.


LA CROSSE. Wis, Feb. 10.-(Special) y
Miss Emma Schumann, a kindergarten
teacher, met with a peculiar but painful
experience. She was on a couch in her
room when her little nephew, Carl
Schweizer, came up to her and said he
was going to 'buzz" her a little. The
youngster had the works of an old clock
in his hand He wound up the spring,
placed the machine up to Miss Schu-
mann's ear and let the works go. Her
hair got tangled in the cogs, and neither
she nor the boy could stop the wheels.
A doctor was sent for, and he found that
the only way out Of the tangle was to re-
verse the works and get the machine
out in that fashion. The young lady's
scalp was quite badly torn. and a portion
of her pompadour was literally pulled
out by the roots.
Miss Hattie ,Hirshheimer had narrow
escape from death, as the result of an
other peculiar mishap. She had just fin
ished writing a letter and had heated
piece of sealing wax. The burning wax
sputtered on her gown, and she was soon
wrapped in a blaze. Her screams for
help attracted her mother from an ad-
joining room, and the flames were ex-
tinguished. The young lady was badly
burned about the head and shoulders.

SALTWATER, Feb. 1O.-(special)-A
held in the Commercial club last even
ing to consider a question of grave I'M
| portance to the logging and lumber IN
terests of the Northwest, viz: Section 10,
River and Harbor act approved March
| 3, 1899, which makes it misdemeanor to
float logs in navigable stream. 1t this
law is enforced it will cripple the logging
interests Of ST. Cro!x and Mississippi
rivers. In view of it's Importance. the
meeting adopted resolutions urging the
| members Of congress, particularly the
representative of the Fourth congress
sional district, to do all in their power
| to secure repeal of the act. The resolu-
| tions adopted declare the law to be un-
wise, unjust and oppressive and calculat-
| ed to destroy great industry without
ccnferring corresponding benefits. The
| ST. Croix river has been used as a stream
| for logging purposes during the past forty
years, and it was estimated at the meet
| Ing that the aggregate amount Of rev.
enue received during the season of 1899
| was over $6,0O0,000. and that over Is per
| cent Of this amount went to laborers
who, with the law enforced, will be un-
| able to secure employment.
| The resolutions also take into considera-
! ton the description Of Maj. Abbott, re-
| specting the plans set forth by him for
navigation on the Mississippi river for
| 1900. In view of the fact that the steam
boat interests Is only a small portion of
| the industries on the ST Croix the meet
ing favored that loggers have the use
| Of the river at all times during the sea-
| son. Senator E. l.. Hospes, of the Staples
Altey Lumber company, and Otis Staples,
! one of the leading loggers In this city,
were appointed committee to act for
| the mass meeting and Commercial club,
and will leave Monday for Washington,
| D. c.. to present the matter to the con-
| gressional delegation. A special meet
| ing Of the city council will be held to-
morrow (Monday) night, at which similar
resolutions will be adopted. The act does
not alone affect the st. Croix river in the
| Northwest, but the Mississippi and other
navlgable streams where logging has
| been carried on for many years.

Wnlpple, rew days ago, is not Whip
pies first man. Whipple has two notches
on his revolver Back in the summer of
1894, Ehipple, whose home is in Eau
Claire. shot and killed Abijah Moon, aged
twenty-five years The story of tha
shooting Is as follows:
During the month of August many
petty burglaries were committed in Eau
Claire, which put the authorities ON thair
mettle. A man name1 Taylor was ar
rested and the evidence against him was
strong. His arrest implicated Ablian
Moon, a man who had served two terms
in state prison, and whose father before
him had done time" Moon eyaded ar
rest and got out OF town. A day or SO
later Russell, or as he is better known,
Rus Whipple, who was in Eleva, Dunn
county, sent word to A. M. Riley then
sheriff of Eau Claire county, that he
knew the whereabouts of Moon Deputy
Sheriff La Page was sent to Eleva, where
he met Whipple. Together they drove to
a farm owned by one Michaer Laferty,
where Whlpple informed the officer Moor,
was in hiding. Inquiry at the farm house
elected the information that Moon had
the fugitive had taken and started in
pursuit. Moon was detected near an old
bridge and the pursuers gave chase; the
fellow carried a bag, which afterwards
proved to contain silverware and other
plunder stolen from Eau Claire homes
AS the officer and Whipple came up with
Moon on the bridge the latter struck at
La Page with the bag of silverware.
Whipple thereupon whipped out his re-
volver and fired, the bail taking effect in
Moons back. Later wound was found
in Moons leg. Moon was placed in a
wagon and the three started for Eau
Claire, the wounded man dying on the
way. The matter, beyond a coroner's in
quest, was never pushed against Whip
ple although 1t was generally believed
his action was unjustifable.
Mrs. Maria Whipple, nee Ross, the wife
of Russ lives in this city, at 210 Dodge
street. She is regarded as worthy and
estimable woman. She is a machine op-
orator in the Eau Claire linen mill, and
her daughter follows the same occupa-
ton. Mrs. Whipple has two other chill
dren, both boys. Whipple, at the time
of the last shooting, ran a saloon at Sol
way, Mimi, near Bemidji, where Moore
met death.

EDEN VALLEY CASES.
Testimony Given Before the Court
Adjourned Over Sunday.

LITCHFIELD. Mimi, Feb. 10.-The ex-
animation of witnesses in the first of the
Eden Valley murder cases was resumed
this morning. So far the state has not
brought out any fact of strong incrim-
mating nature, but the prosecuting attor-
ney may have a surprise in store when
the trial enters upon its second week. His
object so far seems to be to establish the
presence of the accused around the jail
on Tuesday night, when the crime is al
legged to have been committed. At noon
today court took a recess until Monday
J. M. Durkee, called today, swore he,

Railroad Notes
The Great Northern railway recently
ordered 100 steel freight cars of enormous
proportions They have a capacity of 1O0,-
600 pounds each, or two and a half times
the maximum capacity of few years
ago. All the roads are gradually in
creasing the carrying capacity of their
cars as grades are improved and locomo-
tives are improved in hauling strength;
but this move of the Great Northern, the
Minneapolis Journal says, is receiving an
otner 1nterpretatton-that is, one beyond
the mere general policy 1t is that 1t is
the purpose Of the road to secure suffi-
cient equipment of this most modern type,
and with it to inaugurate system of
transcontinental freights which shall cut
under all opposition.
The idea Of building large steamers,
such as Mr.. Hill has ordered for the
Puget sound and Oriental trade is, of
course, to reduce the cost of handling
freight per ton. The larger the vessel,
the less the cost per ton, provided she
has her load. The same idea obtains In
rolling stock. The larger the car and the
locomotive, the less the cost of hauling
per ton per mile. With it's modern mon-
ster engines and 1000 pound steel cars,
it is figured that the Great Northern can
carry freight from Minneapolis to Seattle
or any Puget sound point at better rates
than any competitor The road has the
best grades Of any Pacific line and, at
present, Is the shortest route. OF course.
the other lines will follow suit, but Mr..
Hill has a big advantage in being first
in the field. and in his light-grade line, as
well as In his developed plans for Pa
cific steamship line.
Mr.. Hills advanced views on the devel-
opment of Oriental trade are we'll known.
He will undoubtedly move heaven and
earth to that they are realized, and
In no way can he better stimulate the de-
velopment of such traffic than by making
low freight rates. 1t is not expected that
the use of the big cars will wait for the
completion of the ocean fleet now build
ing. The new cars will be put in service
as fast as they completed, and will
go to swell the earnings of the road as
fast as they can get to work. 1t Is sup
posed that the 100 cars referred to are
but the first of many hundreds to be Or
dered and put into service by the time
the steamship line Is ready.

DIDN'T GET A PASS.
Man Who Had Discovered Rich MIN
ing Fields in Montana.

Ing Fields I'm Montana.
A man with a graft which proved too
weak for his business brought up in the
genera! passenger office of one of the
coast lines Friday. He explained that
he had discovered rich mining fields In
Montana which could be reached only
by the line in question. and that he was
on his way East for the purpose of or
ganizing a company to develop the prop
erty. He alleged that his discoveries
lay in a remote locality, and that the
presence of mineral wealth there was
known only to himself.
If the road would enter into an arrange
ment with him whereby he could travel
for nothing he would guarantee that all
business to and from the new field, in
Guiding any and all freight, would be
carried over it's line. For these valuable
services, he explained, he wished nothing
but an annual pass.
The visitor claimed to be a mining ex-
pert for the past year located at Ana
conda, Mont. Just for curiositys sake
the officials of the road wired well
known mining man In Butte for informa-
ton and found that in the field men
toned there is nothing but an unpro
ductive waste of quartz ledges. He failed
to salt down his pass.
