G. r. Flint, of New York
City; has secured the control of
the milk supply of Gotham and
up goes the price of milk. In
other words the milk trust and
the rubber trust are one and
the same. A raise in price
means death to hundreds of
poor babies, but what is health
or life to a trust?

HE DIES FOR HIS FLAG.
Young Manitowoc Soldier Killed in
Philippine Islands.
ANTHONY GROLL SHOT.
He was Commanding an Outpost Dur
ing Engagement with
the Insurgent.

Manitowoc, Wis, Oct. 1S.-[Special.]
"A letter has just been received here
stating that Anthony Groll, who resides
at lOOS Hamilton street, this city, was
shot and killed in an engagement of the
United States troops in the Philippine is
lands on August II. The letter is under
date of August is and was written at
Lithuanian, Luzon, p. l., and signed by
James B. hurry of the Forty-ffth in
fantry, q. S. A.
The writer states that had young Groll
been more cautious ne would not have
been shot. The regiment was under
heavy fire; the outpost on the right was
too weak to stand off the Filipinos and
as the captain did not know who to send
out there, since all the other lieutenants
were on some duty, Groll volunteered to
take few men and hold the post. He
ordered all to get behind the breastworks
for protection, but he never seemed to
think of himself. The engagement COM
menced at 6 a. m. and at about 1850 a..
m. he was shot through the head, dying
instantly.
According TO the letter received here
Groll was very popular with mis- COM
pany. He showed bravery in all the en-
gagements that his company had been
in. At the battle of Montaoban he led
the boys up hill and for his bravery
was offered a corporalship, but refused
to accept, saying he was contented to be
a private. He left home. SO his diary
states, in the winter of 1898; went to
Sheboygan, where he remained six
months, then drifted to northern Mime
sofa and the Rainy Lake region, and
then back to Minneapolis, where he was
employed for some time in a drug store
In the spring of 1899 he went to Port
land nr Prom, thoro hn 70 Col
and then to Vancouver, Wash, where he
enlisted. For bravery in engagements
he was promoted to sergeant. Later
he was appointed commissary sergeant
Of the post, which position he held up to
the time of his death.

CAT DIDN'T COME BACK,
Peculiar Story of a Feline Which
was Carried Away from De-
pere in Freight Car.

Depere, Wis, Oct. 19.-[Special. 1.-The
city of Depere has strange cat story
about a feline that didn't come back.
Last spring pet black cat that made
her home in the warehouse Of the J. P.
Dousman Milling company disappeared
and soon after was forgotten. The Sc
quel of the pet cats disappearance was
brought to Mr.. Dousman a few days ago
by G.. O. Frecr of Cleveland o.. who
travels for a firm at Cumberland, Nd.
1t seems that the cat became imprisoned
in car that was being loaded with flour
at the Dousman mill last spring for a
firm in Cumberland. The car started on
it's journey, carrying along the cat,
which gave birth during the trip to five
kittens, every one as black as the mother
After journey of nine days the car ar
rived at it's destination. During the I'M
loading of the car the cat family was
discovered. The mother feline had been
without food for nine days, but all the
kittens were alive and had thrived in the
good care they received.

MAY GET THE SHOPS.
Chicago g. Northwestern Road
May Buy CentraIs Proper
ty at WaukeSha.

WaAkesha. Wis, Oct. 1S.-[Special. J.
There is a report in circulation, which
cannot be traced to an authentic source,
but which, nevertheless, is believed to
have some foundation in fact, that the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway COM
pany is making inquiries looking an ac-
quirement of the railroad shops in this
city. Just what use the company would
make of the property if it got possession
can only be conjectured, but it is known
that the North Western expects Wau-
kesha to become a manufacturing town
in the near future and that the city's
freight business, already large, is certain
to become larger, and is worth
looking after. Within easy feeding
distance of the North-Western's lines are
number of new industries, established
within year, which are already pro-
nounced successes. The Structural Steel
works has business in sight sufficient to
tax its capacity to the fullest. The
canning factory, the cheese factory and
other concerns are comparatively pros
porous. In view of the ill-feeling toward
the Central because Of it's leaving Wau-
kesha, the time appears ripe for the
North Western to reach out for freight
business. Waukesha people are decided
ly cheerful over the success which has
followed the first efforts to make the
town a manufacturing center, and it is
believed that the advantages Of the
place, natural as well as acquired, are
certain to invite other industries.

FAMOUS HORSESHOER.
John Reynolds of Pleasant Prairie
the Well-knoWn Blacksmith,
Passes Away.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 19.-[ Special. J.
John Reynolds, an early pioneer settler
of this city died at his home in the town
of Pleasant Prairie at an early hour this
morning at the age of IS years. The
deceased came to Kenosha in 1915 and
had lived here ever since.
The death of John Reynolds will be re-
ceived with sorrow among all the fol-
lowers of the turf in the Northwest.
The deceased was famous as a horse
sheer. His fame in this line extended
to every track in the country and near
iy every horse that has held national
records wore shoes put on by the vet
eran blacksmith. For many years he
was constantly in the employ of the
great racing stables and he was a ia
miliar figure on the great race
tracks. When j. I. Case sent out his ia
nous string of pacing horses Reynolds
was always with them, and later, when
Nancy Hanks and other trotters won re-
nown, it was old John Reynolds that put
the shoes on the feet of the winning
horse. Although old age and hard work
had decreased his ability, the smith re-.
tanned his forge until a few days ago.
His work as a smith brought him not
only fame, but he leaves a large fortune
to be divided among his children
