TATTERED RELICS
OF Departed Fashions Made Pictur-
esque Affair of Hard Time Ball.

No dogs were allowed at the
Hard Time Ball last night. This
was simply precautionary meas
ure, as a we'll educated canine is
known to Judge largely by appear
ances, and there was danger OF
his sizing up the groups of merry
dancers as table d'hote of Weary
Willies. Tattered garbs of uncer-
tain vintage were tackled, tied and
glued together with an ingenuity
that would win high favor with
the Knights of the Cross.beams.
High Carnival reigned until late
hour, and the Hardest Time came
with the 'good nights" Amongst
those who enjoyed the unique
affair were:
Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Phillips,

81 expect to see hog prices go
out of sight next year" said a
prominent shipper, whose home is
in Southern Kansas, today. "Tne
farmers have been not only run
ming off their light stuff TO market,
but they have been disposing of
their brood sows. This means
there will be shortage OF pigs
next spring. II will take from six
months to year to replenish the
supply and in the meantime look
to see hogs 60 to So hundred.
Corn is selling now at 60 cents and
upward. The new crop will not
reduce the price any. 1t is moro
likely to 60 to 20 cents than it is
to come down lower. Men who
have been accustomed to feeding
20-cent corn can't see any money
in feeding hogs on the 60-cent ar
ticle- They prefer to sell both
hogs snd corn and let somebody
else do the work and take the
chances with cholera, and other
drawback to fattening hogs"

WILL HELD VALID,

Judge Miller Thursday rendered his
decision in the contest of the late Aug.
Kickbusch, the contest proceedings OF
which occupied his attention Tuesday
and Wednesday, His decision was that
the will had been properly drawn, and
was valid. Feb. 14th. of the present
year, Aug. Kickbusch, through his attor-
ney, and in presence of witnesses, eX-
ecuted will, bequeathing his property
to his wife and children. He died on
May 9Th, and when the will was opened
in probate court some time during the
summer, it was found that he had for
gotten some of his children one OF
whom was Mrs. Emma Mohr Mrs
Mohr then filed contest proceedings,
and after several postponements the
matter was finally taken up. The prop
osition set forth by Mrs. Mohr was
that Mr.. Kickbusch's widow had exers
eised an Influence over her husband in
making him execute the will as he did.
Through the alleged prejudice which
Mrs kickbusch bore for her step4daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mohr, the latter claimed that
Mr.. Kickbusch had been influenced to
word his will so that the complainant had
been left no property. Taking the case
under advisement Judge Miller on the
above named day rendered his decision
as afore stated Through her attorneys
Mrs. Mohr has filed notice of appeal
and the case will be tried in circuit
court perhaps a. the coming term in
February.

YUlETIDE.
The Holiday Season Begins Tomor-
row.

With the advent of the Christmas
season, we have dreams of the enchant-
ment ofthe song of the Chaldean shep.
herds sung of old, Peace on earth and
good will to men," Hatred, envy and
malice are cast aside, while our hearts
assume a grace of charita5ieness, felic-
ity, kindness and good cheer A Aremem-
brance of that midnight of old. that
marked the birth of our Saviour, has
been observed by every Christian peo-
| pie that has ever inhabited this uni
verse. Memorial Day is day of re-
membrance for the dead, but Christ
mas is day of remembrance for the
living. Each of us contribute our little
toward rejecting the rays of the sun
shine of our lives that illumne The
world and make life happier
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone"
We are inspired with spirit of affec-
ton for someone near and dear We
are ennobled with the harmonious i'm
pulses of feeling for humanity, and the
words of the poet, "all the worlds
akin" is brought vividly 10 our MEM
Ory. To run counter To- the spirit of
happiness, SYNONYMOUS of the day, is
policy not to be pursued. Peace on
earth and good will to men" has
manifold meaning, to which an attune-
ment of the heart brings pleasures of
unalloyed joy
The injunction, ''the poor We have
always with you," should be borne in
mind, and the words of Pope, "Yon
alms-hOuse, neat, but void of state,
where age and want sit smiling at the
gate" should receive our consideration
The unostentatious ministratiOns of
charity to the poor are acts which,
while they give us pleasure, afford a
means of bringing sunshine to the
hearts of the unfortunate. Wausau is
a city of generous hearted people, and
the hope that the needy will beremem-
dered, as in other years, is anuexpecta-
tion which we believe will be fully
filled.
The past year has been one of pros
perity and plenty-one that has brought
us much cheer and fattened our purses,
and the people of This, the greatest re-
public on earth, have much to be
thankful for Fleeting time is about to

MYSTERIOUS POISONING
CASr PUZZLES POLICE
HARRY HICKS A BUTTE CARPENTER, SAVED FROM DEATH
ONLY BY PROMPT ACTION
DOCTOR UNABLE TO Determine CAUSE OF ILLNESS BUT
THINKS IT ARSENIC

A case Of mysterious illness, in which
poison, beer and hot weather seem to be
mixed in about equal proportions, devel-
oped in the home of Harry Hicks, lib
West Platinum street, last night.
MI Hicks is a carpenter and worked at
his trade yesterday. After leaving work
he dropped into a saloon for a glass of
beer Just where the saloon is, he is not
able or willing to state, and Just what
occurred in the next hour is also a blank.
About $3.50 he reached his home, on the
verge of collapse. A doctor was sent for,
but most of the physicians were out Of
the city, or could not be found, and it
was nearly midnight before one was Sc
cured.
In the meantime several of the neigh
bors had aided the family in giving
what help they could to the unfortunate
and by that time irrational man, giving
him all manner Of homely out effica-
cious emetics.
When the doctor finally appeared the
patient was in stupOr, from which the
doctor had hard work to arouse him.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-07-22

Hicks could give no connected account
OF what had happened. 1t might have
been hot weather, or bad beer, or ptcm-
laine poisoning, or something else which
could not be determined from his story.
The appearance of the patient, how
ever, suggested arsenic poisoning, from
the yellowish color Of the skin, the dis
tended stomach, and the absence of all
burning or contraction of the throat, and
SO the doctor applied his remedies to that
end.
The mans stomach was entirely empty
when the doctor appeared, leaving no
trace of the drug; or whatever caused the
trouble, so an analysis could not be
made, But the sickness, while removing
all evidence, in all probability saved the
mans life.
DR.. Bernheim, who attended the man.
is of the opinion that Hicks is not now
in great danger, and that he will soon be
able to resume his work. If arsenic was
the drug it would leave no trace a1tef
a few days of rest.

San Francisco Threatened By
Greatest Tie-Up In Its History

places Of work as usual and were disc
charged. This is according to program.
BY nightfall every large drayage estab-
li;hment in the city will have it's trucks
in the barns. The teamsters state that
they will pass the matter to their em-
I'oyers and the final decision will be
made by them.
A statement by prominent drayman
vas to the effect that the Draymen's
association had decided upon the step
to be taken only after long deliberation,
as such step meant monetary loss, dis
tress and dubious condition of affairs,
the outcome of which cannot be fore-
seen.
At the headquarters OF the Brother
hcod of Transfers the statement was
made that the matter had passed out Of
the hands of the employing draymen and
that they had east their lot with the
ether merchants in the town opposed to
unions.
Estimates vary as to the number Of
men and the far-reaching effect of the
.eamster tie-up, for the mater has not
as yet reached the proportions of q
strike. There are over 1000 men driv-
ing teams who are connected with the
various unions that constitute the Team
Drivers executive council.
Then this body is affiliated with the
Water Front federation, which embraces
r'en who are more or less connected
with or dependent upon the teaming bus
mess. This includes stevedores. sailors.
orters, packers, warehouse men. ma
r:ne firemen and engineers. and in af-
;iliated branches perhaps about 5000
more In the event of a strike being or
dered, all these would, of necessity go
cut in sympathy.
There is likely to be lively times on
the water front. Non-union men will
Rave to do the driving. In that event
the longshoremen will refuse to handle
the merchandise brought to the various
vessels by non-union drivers and the
costing vessels will either tie-up or go
away in ballast. The outlook seems to
