Oshkosh.

George M. Haine, president of
the Haine Lumber company, the
largest manufacturer of doors in
the world, denies the report that
sash and door trust has been
formed to include the principal
factories Of the country, but ad-
mits that steps have been taken
to that end and that the plan is to
combine about eighteen of the
largest factories in the country,
including the six local ones and
several in the Mississippi towns,
Clinton, Muscatine and Daven-
port. The field, he states, is a
most promising one, but he de-
clares that no tangible results
have thus far been made. Two
efforts to organize have been
made in the last four years, but
each has failed owing to the dis
inclination of the owners to part
with their plants.

Prairie du Chen.

A good story is told at the ex-
pense of two pearl buyers from
New York, who made their first
trip to Prairie du Chen, the
center of the pearl industry, last
week. After spending day on
the banks of the Mississippi the
gentlemen decided to take trip
up the river on a launch which a
home buyer also boarded for the
hunting grounds above the city.
The distinguished gentlemen
from the far east soon learned
that the shabbily dressed man
had some pearls in his possession
and after seeing and closely ex-
aiming them for several min
utes urged him to set a price up
on the gems, which he refused
to do. Finally the older of the
two men offered $50 for the col
lection, which was valued at
81, $50, and by way of argument
produced a 12-grain beauty from
his purse and offered it to the
hunter for a s. bill, never, dream
inc, tbot tho b,1ptov. woe on Nv
pert pearl dealer, who, after ex-
amining the pearl, put it into
his mouth and handed the New
Yorker a bill.
The awe-stricken owner of the
pearl took his leave of absence at
the first landing and walked six
miles to his destination. He had
lost about $3.50 in the transaction.

John Schig, a pioneer resident
of this city and no doubt the old
est living member of the indie

the chairs of the local lodge, and
was the recognized leader of the
lodge at Racine.
For several years he followed
his trade that of ship carpenter.

this city, which he conducted for
over thirty years. In 1885 he
and his wife celebrated their
golden wedding. Six years ago

years later Mr.. Schlig decided
to spend the rest of his life at
the Odd Fellows home at Green
Bay. He was a Mason, and or

Fond du Lac.

Peter Hansen, foreman of the
Halmer elevator in this city, was
killed while engaged in oiling
some shafting above the scales.
He was standing on a ladder
when his clothes caught in the
betting and he was carried
around the shafting, his head
striking the ceiling, dashing his
brains out and horribly mang-
ling him. Engineer Olmstead
heard the cry and shut off the
machinery as soon as possible.
Workman quickly took Hansen
from the shafting, but death had
already followed. Hansen was
single and was "a years of age.
He had just returned from his
home at New Holstein, where he
had spent Sunday. Justice
Biewer= was called and he en-
paneled jury which viewed the
remains and adjourned until to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The body was taken to the under
taking rooms of d. Mclean.

left the the house after dinner to
do some teaming for a neighbor
and before he went set fire to
some piles of grass in an adjoin-
ing field. He cautioned the three
children not to go in the field I'M
til until he should return, but
two babies, aged 2 an 4 years re-
spectively, did not obey and went
there to play. The flames of the
burning grass crept nearer and
nearer until the children were al
most surrounded. Hearing their
cries for help, the 0-year-old
daughter plunged into the flames
and succeeded in dragging the
two younger children to a place
of safety. She was completely
exhausted and not able to run
and she was overtaken by the
fire at once. Her body was
burned almost to a crisp. The
babies notified their mother. who
reached the scene just in time to
see her daughter die. When the
father reached home he was
crazed with grief and only the
combined efforts of the neigh
bors prevented him from com
hitting suicide.

The potato crop in this vicinity
was unusually good, both as to
yield and quality, this season, and
consequently there is very keen
competition in the potato market
in this city. There are six buy
ers here and the prevailing price
paid for spuds is from 10 to 20
cents higher than what is being
paid by merchants in neighbor
ing towns. For the past week
potatoes have been bringing 90
cents per bushel, which is only
cents under the ST. Paul market
price. AS a result the town has
been crowded with farmers from
all over the county, who in many
instances hauled their potatoes
twenty five miles, to take advan-
tage of the higher prices offered
here than elsewhere. The same
condition exists in regard to
other produce and already a large
number of warehouses have been
filled and cars cannot be pro-
cured fast enough to haul the
produce out of town.
