STEAM BARGE BURNED.
The Fedora is Total Loss In the Channel
Near Red ClifY

The Fedora is a Total Loss In the Channel
Near Red Cliff.
The steam barge Fedora, owned
by w. W. Brown, of Cleveland. was
burned to the waters edge at Red
Cliff, Friday night. A lamp ex-
pioded in the engine room and be-
fore the pumps could be started the
fire had gained such Roadway that
the engineer was compelled to leave
the room.
The boat was going full speed and
had to be beached and small b,ats
launched. Captain F. A. Prick and
his crew of eighteen men had mar
row escape, but reached the shore
safely.
Nothing was saved but what the
men could carry in their arms.
The boat was bound for Ashland
from Duluth and was light. The
lumber yards and mill owned by tae
Red Cliff Eumber company, at Red
Cliff, had narrow escape from
burning. The captain and crew of
the burned vessel reached Bayfield,
and left for Cleveland by train Satur-
day. The boat is practically a
total loss.

The Residents of That Quarter Of
Town in Trouble.
LAND BELONGS TO COL. WING.
Nearly all the Houses in FIVE Blocks Have
Been Built by People Who Had No
Title or Claim to the Land.

From all reports there is conster
nation in s'Slab Town." which is a
part of the city of Washburn, being
that part occupied principally by the
French people who work in the mills.
The trouble all comes through the
residents of that section occupying
land which does not belong to them.
1t appears that the land in four or
five OF the most thickly populated
blocks has been the property of Col.
|. H. Wing and the companies in
which he is interested, for many
years. Ten or a dozen years ago
some of the mill hands began putting
up buildings on the vacant lots.
This has been gradually going on,
until now one of the thickest popul-
ated portions of the city is "Slab
Town" One of the residents of
that part of the city estimates that
there are over two hundred houses
on Col. Wings land, all of which
have been placed there without
knowledge or consent of the owner.
During all the years in which this
building has been going or Col.
Wing has kept up the taxes on the
land, and although he has made
several attempts in a minor way to
get the matter Strengthened up, still
it was not until within the past week
or two that matters were brought to
climax. Attorney Shea, of Ash
land, is looking after the matter,
and he has served notice on all the
tenents that they must pay up. A
figure has been set upon all the lots,
and the tenents have been given to
understand that they must settle or
be brought into the courts. While
the houses are not elaborate in their
design, many of them being not much
better than shanties, still each re-
presents the home of a family 1t is
said that a liberal proposition has
been made the people who are on
the land, with payments arranged SO
that the 'ssquatters" can protect
their homes without greatly incon
veniencing them. Mr.. Shea says
that be intends getting the matter
Strengthened out completely, now
that be is at the job. and it is prob
able that in most cases, amicable
terms will be arrived at.

Honor Done to the Memory Of the
Martvred President.
PROPER RESPECT is SHOWN.
All Business Houses Close and the schools
Hold Exercises-General Memorial
Services at the Opera House
Last Thursday.

Washburn along with the hun
dreds OF towns and cities of the
country joined in mourning the
great calamity that had befallen
our nation While the streets of Can
ton on Thursday last were filed and
as people bowed their heads in
humble reverence to the great sor-
row of the world, so did the people
of our own little city do proper
honor and respect to the illustrous
dead Not wheel ia the manufact-
uring establishments throughout the
city stirred Thursday afternoon.
For a brief period even the tele-
phones and the telegraph instru-
ments ceased, and railroad trains
came to stand still. Not a bus
mess house on Bayfield, street open
ed it's door. No arm of the law
could enforce such rigid observance.
1t was in obedience to a feeling of
sorrow and respect that everything
was closed. The day was cool and
cherries, and the atmosphere was
Increasingly remindful that the day
was one of mourning. The schools
held memorial services in the morn
ing, and then closed for the day. At
two o'clock the Opera House was
filed to it's doors and the public ex-
ercises arranged by the town board
we've somber and sorrowful. Rev.
Beckman opened with prayer. aud
then the chorus sung Nearer My
God to Thee. = Rev. Wiley gave
short address, and then Rev. Michael
son talked of Mckinley as states
man, and was followed by Rev. A.
V. Ingham, of Neillsville, who in his
remarks upon the life and personal
character Of the martyred president
touched the sympathetic chord of
the audience. The audience then
joined in singing, Jesus, Lover of
My Soul - After this Rev. McIn-
tosh gave splendid discourse,
touching upon McKinley's splendid
character as citizen and states
man. The exercises concluded with
the singing of America The
chorus from the cantata furnished
the music, and L. N. Causen acted
as cha rrnan Of the meeting.

in musical entertainment. vet
everything depends upon it, and it
is safe to say that no one could have
been found who would have done
better than Miss Anderson, who is
in every way finished pianist. A
very pretty feature connected with
the entertainment which really was
more in the line of speciality than
part of the regular program was the
introduction of scarf drill, given
by seven young girls. Miss Lena
Tetzner led the drill, and it was
plainly one of the m ost thoroughly
appreciated features of the evening.
The others in the drill were: Angie
Geisert, Alice Maitland, Nellie
Doyle, Hilda Milstrand. Mary Gal
lagher and Selma Tetzner. Financi-
ally the cantata was not the success
that was hoped for by the promoters
who had arranged it as a benefit. but
as an illustration of what can be ac-
complished in musical line by the
talent of the city when well drilled
and trained, it was a splendid
and unqualified example and proof
that Washb m vocalists are many,
and each in themselves very credit
able. Aside from the beauty of the
story which the cantata tells, there
is something more than ordinary in
the instructive features about such
an entertainment which appeals to
all who wish to spend an evening
pleasurably and profitably.

Home Talent Appears in Production
OF Cantata.
AND DO THEMSELVES PROUD.
A Beautiful Story sweetly Told in Song by
the Vocal Talent of this City. A
Most Creditable and Instructive
ENTERTAINMENT.

BY far the most creditable home
talent entertainment ever given in
the city was the sacred cantata
Queen Esther" arranged by Mr..
M. T. Robinson, the musical director,
and participated in by most of the
vocal talent OF the city. The enter
tainments were given Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, at the Opera
House, for the benefit of the Wash
burn Hospital. The story of Queen
Esther, as it has been ARRANGED in
song, is beautiful, and while at first
the audience may feel little
puzzled to know just where they are
at, still it does not take long to get
the thread of the story, which is the
old fight for supremacy between the
Jews and their enemies. The result
is of course the triumph of the Jews,
for they are people who never were
nor never will be beaten. Miss
Florence Tanner. OF Ashland, took
the part of Queen Estner, and the
audience was delighted with her
graceful poise and stately gestures.
Miss Tanner has a rich soprano
voice, and her enunciation is clear
and distinct. Oscar Rockstad was
the king, and he acquitted himself
very nicely, considering that the
king business must have been rather
new to him. O. M. Holt might have
been mistaken for Haman, himself,
if met coming alone up the street,
and his portrayal of the part, to-
gether with his well-known abilities
as song>ter won for him the ap-
plause of the gentlemen and the ad-
miration OF the ladies. L. j. Nc
Donald took the part of Mordecai,
the Jew. and did full justice to it in
every manner. Miss Whitrock, as
Mordecais sister. and Miss Arnold,
as Mordecai's wife, were very strong
characters in the cantata, while the
following in their several parts are
entitled to credit: N S. Hull, as
beggar and Illegal; Miss Mabel
Grant, as the prophecies; Ed Peder-
son, as high priest: Miss Jessie
Smith. as Median Princess; Miss
Mabel Peterson, as Persian Princess;
Fred Fenton, as the scribe; Little
Julia Stevens, as HamaL's child, and
A. A. Anderson, as captain of the
kings guard. Others who took i'm
portant parts were:
Queens Maids-Etta Duffy, Alice
Fenton, Alice Maitland, Eva Axel-
berg.
Zeresh's Attendants Mrs. O. NJ.
Holt, Iva Adams.
Kings Pages-Bessie Stevens,
Georgiana Moran. Florence Ander
son, Florence Clausen.
Kings Maids--Lena Tetzner, An
gie Geisert, Alice Maitland, Nellie
Doyle, Hilda Melstrand, May Gallag
her, Selma Tetzner.

Anderson. Many people do not con-

Calm face, cast in the ancient Roman mold
Firm lips, responsive to their masters will,
That could be eloquent or stern and still,
By the overmasterng intellect controlled;
Clear, steady eyes, that seemed to seize and hold
Mems nmost thoughts voice that once could thrill
The waiting multitude, can grim Death chill
Thy longfet power? Can that warm heart grow cold?
Mourn for the time-tried leader We have lost
The fearless helsman of the Ship Of State,
Martyr to duty master of his fate
He has found harbor, he the tempest tossed
Thro' melting mists of prejudice and hate
The mans strong soul stands baretoo late too late!

THE PRESIDENT is "A PRISONER.
The Long List of Things Which Custom
Denies our Chosen Ruler.


One would naturally think that
the chief executive of so great a
nation as ours would not only be ex-
empt from some obligations which
fall upon the average citizen, but
would enjoy certain privileges pecul-
lar to the highest Office within the
reach Of the people. This is not the
case, however. The fact that the
president of the United States is
the only law abiding and reason
possessing citizen thereof whom
custom holds prisoner within
limited bounds is brought out very
forcibly by John Elfreth Watkins,
Jr., in an interesting article on
Some Things the President Does
Not Do in the October Ladies'
Home Journal It show that in the
spending OF his leisure time the
President is more restricted than
the janitor who daily empt!es his
waste-basket. For he must not
leave the country, even for day.
This is an oil, unwritten law.
Neither can he go aboard foreign
warship, even when anchored in our
harbors, and flying the colors of
friendly state, or make formal call
upon anyone except d president
elect, an ex-president, a president
of a foreign State or a reigning
monarch visiting our capital. He
must not receive anyone except in
innate friends on Sunday, or occupy
other than the seat of honor at any
formal thinner He must never
occupy the left side of carriage
seat, or cross the threshold of for
eign embassy's residence in Wash
ington, for that is foreign ground.
These are only few of the many
laws with which custom restricts
our Presidents.

NEW WORK. Dec. e.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of l4422 points and during the first hour was replai kably strong enormous demand from shorts who were stampeded by bulge of 6Ge poin.s in Liverpool. Bull confidence was intensified by rumors of advance of hQAc in SUusne n spot markets. On the fi!st wave of bu: .nS January jumped to 8.25 and May to 325. these figures being about the best of the ses- sion. Heavy rains over most of the belt wi h snow in Memphis, coupled with forecast for very much colder temperatures in the Soutl tonight added to the bullish feeling he. e. Wall Street and Western grain inter ests sold out great blocks of January and March on the uplift. Towards midday the market went off a few points under room selling and b. oke sharply soon after midday under laIge esti- mates for tomorrow's New Orleans and Hous- ton receipts. January touched 8. l3 and May g. " before fresh general buying turned the scale and rallied the market 8 points. The room played for a reaction, but the second advance was rapid that very little cotton was picked up to good advantage. It was seen that total port receipts for the day fell many thousands of bales short of total pSrt clearances. Fall River news was very favor able and spinners were reported bidding freely for supplies throughout the South. Interior receipts for the day fell 10000 bales short of those the same day last year. In the last hour shorts very nervous and picked up good deal of cotton sold by scalpers for profits. Closed steady at net advance of 8fr 5 points.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec e.-It is reported Theodore Price is supposed to have sold heav- fly toward the close through various brokers
 The tenor of cables today was decidedly fla vorabie and the sction Of Liverpool was quite consistent. Spots were marked up 3-32d and deliveries were quoted 9-64d higher with the tone very steady.
 Private advices conveyed the information that large short interest remained uncovered for account of operators on the continent and especially in Germany where the incentive for such transactions was derived from the eIerious depression recently experienced in that country. It was mentioned also that spin were showing signs of becoming uneasy owing to the appearance of better demand for manufactured goods. The advance in LiV- erpool was quite in excess of expectations on tionaI improvement at the opening here. Re cent purchasers were freely overcome by tine temptation to take liberal profits, but the of ferings from this course. were well absorbed and a very steady .undertone was noticeable throughout the day.
 Closing quotations are about | l points high than Saturday.
 Sentiment has undergone rapid and de- cided improvement, and 1t Is quite probable that greater activity in demand for specula- tion would be observed were 1t not for fear of a more liberal disposition to sell spots Tn order to provide for approaching Christmas holidays. There is little doubt however, that the bureau has effected material change in opinions re- garding the size of the crop and unless cepts increase considerably the t.ndency of the market will in allfliAclihoo1 continue up- ward.
