A PECULIAR CASE.
A Stevens Point Man Arrested on
Wednesday, Charged With Hav-
ing Passed Worthless
Time Check.

John Lombard, the woodsman who
was arrested on Wednesday in Stevens
Point by Sheriff Thomas Malone on
complaint OF E. v Speer, charging him
with having passed a worthless time
check, had his preliminary examination
in Judge Miller's court on Friday
morning. He pleaded not guilty and
his case was adjourned until tomorrow
morning to allow the prosecution time
for securing witnesses, of which Wal
ter Alexander is the principal one and
who will not be in the city until tomor-
row. He gave 5000 bonds for his ap-
pearance. The case seems to be COM
plicated one or considerable misunder-
derstanding between the parties con
cerned. On Tuesday last Lombard
stepped into f. V. Speer's Jewelry store
wanting to purchase a watch. He
found one that was suitable, the price
of which was thirty-five dollars. In
payment thereof Lombard presented
a time-check issued by the Alex. Stew
art Lumber Co., which showed that he
had worked 641 days and also it had
some indefinite statement about $40 80.
As Lombard was not total stranger
to Speer and as he did not seem anxious
whether he cashed the check or
not, Mr.. Speer thought it a
chance for good bargain, so gave
him Lombard) the watch and $35 so in
exchange for the time-cheek Mr..
Speer Immediately went down to the
Stewart Lumber Co. office, where the
bookkeeper refused to cash it because
he did not know the rate of wages he was
getting, and which could not be learned
until Mr.. Walter Alexander returned to
the city by whom Lombard was hired.
The time-check was perfectly regular,
64t being the number of days the camp
foreman had given him credit.

a panoramic view of Rothchilds and
Schofeld water power. on the Wiscon-
sin river, were hung up in the Bells
Hotel rooms on Wednesday evening,
by architect c. B. Pride, of Appleton.
The panoramic view of the Wisconsin
river is from an assumed altitude of
1000 feet, and shows how the river
from Rothchilds to the lower Stewards 5
island will appear when the new pro-
posed dam is constructed at Rothchilds
with a 20-foot water fall. The picture
has been viewed by many parties since
it was put up, and it gives plain un-

PLUNGED INTO THE RIVER.
DR.. A. Christianso,fs Horse Took an
Icy Bath on Friiay Evening.

On Friday evening, at about eight
o'clock, Dr. Christianson's horse stirred
up considerable excitement near the
Washington street bridge, by jumping
into the river from the railroad bridge
that crosses the river between the City
Hall and j. H. Keips dye works. The
coachman employed by DR.. Christian
son was just in the act of starting home
with Mrs. Christianson who had been
visiting at place on Sherman street,
when the cutter was caught behind the
hitching post. This frightened the
horse and in attempting to start, the
cutter was upset and the fills were
broken off, and the horse being free
ran north on Third avenue as far as
Clarke, east on Clarke, turning north
and then continued on Clinton and
across the main bridge, and thence to
Washington street bridge. AT the east
end, the street was blocked with string
of freight cars, and it appeared for q
moment as though the horse would
dash into them, but instead it turned TO
the right and ran onto the railroad
bridge from which it jumped into the
river. Some of tie railroad men near
by ran TO its assistance and soon got
the animal out. The horse escaped
serions injuries about the body, but
about the legs was badly cut and
bruised

DELIGHTFUL SLEIGHRIDE.
A Party of Young Folks Went Ou
Into the Country on Wednes-
day Evening.

A very delightful sleighride party
was given, on Wednesday evening, by
the Misses Kate aud Lucinda Powers
and Mrs. w. p Sloan. After driving
around town for short time, they
drove out to the Powers homestead,
about five miles north of the city where
vocal and musical selections were
rendered by members of the party,
supper served and dancing indulged in.
The return to the city was made a
little after the midnight hour and in
distributing the members of the party
to their various homes, the rig came
near being run down by a locomotive
which was doing some switching on
Washington street. As the slelghride
party crossed the track, the locomotive
was backing up going south and missed
the rig by only hairs breadth; but
that was as good as mile.

COMPOSITION BLACK BOARD.
A Mosinee Man, After % Years o
Study and Experiment, Finds
His Invention Success
Experimental Test in
Mosinee School.

A. Balthazor, of Mosinee, one of the
contractors of the Mosinee new high
school has invented and perfected a
composition of which black board can
be made that will excel slate in every
respect He has studied the compost
ton of which black boards are made
for the past twenty-five years, and is
now positive he has something which
will prove complete success. He has
furnished the new $4,000, Mosinee
High School with his composition
board, in which it will receive its first
experimental test. 1t is guaranteed by
the inventor to last for so years Mr.
Balthazor claims it is better than slate,
because it can be put on the wall so
that it will all be in one piece from one
end of the room to the other Slate
board is put on a wall in sections Of
equal size, ranging in sizes up as high
as AKA and when on the wall it leaves
creases or cracks, this he says is done
away with entirely as his composition
is placed on to the wall similar to
plaster. Another superiority to slate
is that it only costs about one half as
much. When asked what the compo-
sition was made of he replied that that
was a secrect he did not care to divulge,
especially to newspaper reporter
Well good luck to you, Mr.. Balthazor.

 Women Not Cowarday.

When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody makes a huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of a harmless mouse, but they court death several times year. It is one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. 1 hayo known won- en who were timid to I degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroines under the pressure of occa- sion. A woman who shudders at the sight of a small cut from which blood oozes will oftan exhibit a marvellous courage in shocking accident. It IS beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of reek> lessness which leads us into unneces- sary trouble.

Coming from the home of biting east winds and winter climate, the at mosphere of San Antonio is veritable paradise. The city is located in south western Texas, is about 600 feet above the sea level, and is delightfully."- situ- ated, with range of hills extending completely around the town. The weather is delieious-never too cold in winter, and, during the summer, while it is hot enough in the day time, the evenings are always cool. According to signal service reports taken during a series of years, the average number of days in the year during any portion of which the thermometer falls to the freezing point is II. 1t is rare thing to have frost befote.

Thus. after a long absence, sisters and mothers sit down, and, throwing a cloth over their heads, with their hands elasped on the head of the person who has returned, cry over him with their dirge-like song.

On a coast where shoals and reefs make the use of life boat impraetie able. or where the breakers and surf put an fnsurmountable barrier between the distressed crew on wreck and the brave men on shore, the life rocket is resorted to; and, if the ship is within a certain distance, the swift travelling line propelled through the air comes like a messenger of hope and life to those poor souls who, but a moment before. seemed beyond the reach of hu- man aid. But, see! Suddenly snow white serpent shoots up in the air. IL comes nearer and nearer; the anxious Ig strained eyes can now see the Hue which travels with 1t.

Throughout the villages of Hindustan soap is, in- deed, regarded as natural curiosity. and is rarely, if ever, kept in stock by the native shopkeeper. h the towns 1t is now sold to a certain extent, but how small this is may be gathered from the fact that the yearly eonsump- tion of soap in India is about 100000 hundred weight; that is to say, every 2,500 persons use on an average only l12 pounds of soap among themi or. in other words, considerably less than ar ounce is the average consumption of a person.

Lord Kitchener Always Carried Who.
Spy to Cheat His Enemies.

GpY bO Cheat diS Enemies.
 There is pretty general impression that the work undertaken by the spy is invariably disgraceful work, and that the professional military secret service agent is a more or less degrad- ed creature-degrade that is, for the time being, by the very nature of the mission he undertakes, Of course. nothing could be further from the truth. There are spies and spies The paid renegade, who for mere pay, un- dertakes to pry into and betray the secrets of his friends, stands upon an entirely different footing from the offi- cer who, taking his life in his hands. ventures into the enemy's camp in or der to gratuitously to obtain informa- tion which may turn out to be of infin- ite value to his own intelligence de- partment. Lord Kitchener was a spy of this latter sort, and it was his elev- erness, energy and resourcefulness in this capacity which first attracted to him the notice of his superiors. Alone and unarmed he plunged into the re- volted Soudan in the autumn of 1882 and succeeded in penetrating, disguised as 8 peddler of hurra cakes, as far as Omdurman itself Here he saw fei- low spy stripped naked, fogged t1n the flesh hung in ribbops from his body, and then cruci1ed face downward iE the blazing sun. Ever afterward, 3... his wapderings among the wild desers tribes, Kitchener carried with hiin s tiny phial of cyanide of potassium. As he terse1y put 1t: 'I did not fear death --but sueh death!"

Amazing Expansions of Great Britain.

Amazing Expansions of Great Britain
 In 178O the area of the British for- eign possessions outside and exclusive of the British Isles, but including Can- ada, the West Indies, and India, may be set down as about 34a millions Of square miles, with a population of less than two millions of white people and perhaps forty-fye millions of colored races. These figures, though little as compared with those of 1899, are yet quite respectable. They were vastly greater than other nations of that time could show. Indeed they are greater than any nation can even now show for foreign possessions. In 1899 the British empire contains over 12 mil lions of square miles and 40 millions Of population, of whom 55 millions are white people. that $ 40 millions~tn the mother country 3and=45z millions in the colonies, while the remainder are Of colored races. This represents about nearly one-thifd of the .habitable globe and shows an amazing expansion with- in the hundred years.
