LOCATED.

Mr.. Ebert, living northwest of Cha
mute had a son in the twentieth Kan
sas. When the regiment was ordered
home to be mustered out, young Ebert
elected to stay in the Philippines and
so was discharged there.
From some unaccountable freak he
failed to write to his folks or at least
they failed to hear from him. The
winter dragged along AMI Mr.. Ebert
feared his son was dead. Not know
ing how to find out anything about
his son, Mr.. Ebert finally wrote to the
Military department at Manila TO
see If they could give him any infor.
nation. The department took the
matter up and traced him through his
various wanderngs and finally located
him in San Fernando, Luzon, engaged
in the restaurant business, and Mr..
Ebert has just received information to
that effect.
1t is very interesting to trace the
different rotations on the traces made
by the heads of the various depart
ments through which they passed,
and shows what care Uncle Samuel
takes of his citizens in foreign lands
and how impossible it seems to be for
one of them to lose himself in our new
possessions.
A man cannot familiarlze himself
with this case without becoming more
patriotic and having his veneration
for the institutions of this great and
glorious country increased,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ebert are greatly re
joiced to learn of their son, and will
take immediate steps to communicate
with him.

FIRE!

About O'Clock last Tuesday morn
ing the fire whistle sounded the alarm
of fire. 1t soon became evident that
the fire was in the northwest part OF
town, in the Second ward. In that di-
rection the crowd went and found the
story anda half frame building belong
ing to the Nelson heirs in flames all oy-
er.
The fire boys were speedily on hand
and had a stream pouring into the
house but as it seemed to be aflre ev-
cry where, it was about two hours
Job to subdue the flames.
The house is total wreck. 1t
was insured for seven or eight humid
red dollars.
The house was occupied by Mr. Lii
ly, the furniture man, He had no in
surance on the contents, and they
were almort a total loss. The fire
boys saved the bedding and clothing
from burning but it was all thorough
ly saturated with water. Miss Pearl
Lilly had a new piano in the house
which was ruined by the heat and
water.
Had it not been for the efficient
work done by the fire boys the house
would have been entirely consumed
with all it's contents. The fire caught
in some manner from the kitchen
stove or fiue.

hishaps While Examining the Ground
Under Lake Michiaan.

Richard Raddatz, inventor OF the
Padtaiz submarine boat. and two en-
piuecrS employed by him for the op-
Grafton of his craft. had q thrilling
Onl dangerous exper ence in Lake
Michigan last Saturday, from the ef-
fccts of which neither he, his men,
nor his boat, fortunately, suffered any
injury.
For some weeks past Mr.. Raddatz
has been engaged in a survey Of Tie
bottom of Lake Michigan off the bar
Dor entrance. To the southeast aud
about half a mile from the harbor en-
tqance, there lies In the lake bottom a
red clay bank. Beyond and around it
is clean. sandy bottom, varying in
depth from twenty-five to tifty-tive
feet. Near the bank last Saturday Mr..
Eaddatz sank his boat in what proved
afierward to be a depression in the
bottom. Surprising that the ground
was comparatively level, he ordered
the craft ahead, when suddenly She
fhrrst her pointed PROV into a submar-
Inc bank.
The craft was moving at a speed Of
about four miles an hour, and the
shock Of the collision was sufficient To
throw the occupants Of the boat with
unpleasant force against the object In
front Of them. The boat was stuck fast
and il was only after half an hours
churning of the propeller that she was
lCOsened.
The same day the boat was lowered

the larbOr entrance. upon what proved
later TO be dark clay Of an adhesive
consistency. When an attempt was
made to raise the boat. she would not

mates. Here they were caught longer
than at the other spot. Investigation
showed that no injury had been done
the machinery, and that everything
was apparently in working order. 1t
appeared that the craft had been per-
nltted to rest too heavily upon the
sticky clay, and was being held fast.
The operation of the propeller, which
is driven by new and powerful ma
chinery in the boat, threw up the mud
In a dark cloud about the boat and
she finally lifted clear of the dangerous
bed, while her inventor proceeded at
once on his return to the dock in the
