Northern Wisconsin Development.

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies thenorthern.
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the. hardships
and vicissitudes of frontier life.
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count of exorbitant land prices.
It is in that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, goodroads
and other improvements are go
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital, Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kaolin and clay
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity to the.
settler and the manufacturer
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.

offers facilities for the quick and.
cheap transportation of it's pro-

KILLED BY AN ENGINE.
Horribly Mangled Body Found OF
Railway Tracks,

AN"AA"uy ATdcAOs
The horribly mangled body of a young
colored man was picked up on the tracks
OF the Pennsylvania railroad on the cross
ing at Virginia and Delaware avenues
about 4:3O o'clock this morning, and it is
understood an incoming express, known
as the newspaper train, had struck and
killed him. When the dead wagon from
the morgue reached the scene of the fatal
accident the man in charge found that
the body had been cut up into a number
of pieces, and SO horribly mangfed that
scarcely enough remained for the purposes
of Identification. Part of the face of the
man was found and exhibited to the crowd
OF railroad employees and others, but none
OF them was able to identify it. There was
strong odor of liquor detected about the
mass OF flesh and bones by the superin-
tendent of the morgue, who expressed the
belief that the victim Of the accident had
been drinking.
1t Is believed that the man was struck
near the east side Of the crossing, His
body was picked up about the west side
AT the morgue Superintendent Schoenber-
ger made as much of an examination as the
condition would permit. He found that the
man had worn a blue serge coat black
trousers, white shirt and black overcoat.
The left shoe had been torn about the toe
and was stitched.
The engine which is alleged to have
struck the man was in charge of Engineer
Benjamin Simpson, who lives at 461 1 street
southwest, and Fireman George Stephen
son, whose home is in Baltimore. Con-
ductor William Chambers of Baltimore had

fication.

COURTS ALONE CAN SETTLE.
Question Regarding Fence Which is
Alleged to OhHtruct Alley.

The District Commissioners have decided
to ask the attorney for the District for an
opinion in regard to the issuance of permit
for a fence in the rear of 1923 1 street
northeast, which WILL 1t is alleged, close
four-foot alley in the rear of the lot and
the one adjoining. Raymond Blanton of
112o l street has protested to the Commits
sioners against the fence proposed by his
neighbor, saying it will shut him off from
access to the public alley. In his letter Mr..
BIanton states the circumstances connected
with the subdivision of the lots, and calls
attention to the easement in the deeds
which gave access to the public alley, and
stated that the easement had been in op-
Grafton for seven years. He declares that
both he and his neighbor are apparently in
moderate circumstances, and that they
could not afford litigation over the mat
ter. and he hoped that the Commissioners
had the authority to refuse the permit, and
thus settle the question without appeal to
the courts. Snowden Ashford acting in
spector of buildings, has informed the
Commissioners that a permit for the re-
construction of the fence was issued in the
regular way upon application, and that the
applicant was told that there was OBJ
lection to the closing of the alley, but that
the question of the easement was one
which the courts alone could settle.

FIRST RAIN SINCE SEPTEMBER.
An Unusually PrOtracted Dry Spell
Broken at Last.

Speaking of it in the sense of appreciable
quantity rain fell today in Washington and
it's immediate vicinity for the first time
since the latter part of September Late
vegetation has been depending on dews and
has gotten mighty little of either. Pastures
have become nearly as dry tinder, caus-
ing nearby farmers and dairymen to begin
winter feeding of their live stock weeks
earlier than usual. and woods filed with
forest leaves have been sources of constant
danger by the inflammable conditions the
dry spell has forced upon them. Evening
Star readers are familiar with the recent
fires in woods near Washington which
threatened destruction Of suburban dwell
tngs Within the city limits every breath
drawn outdoors for the past month has
been dust laden, and the same vagrant
powder has been waited into houses with
every breeze to the horror of housewives
who have cleanliness at heart.
The effect of breathing the dust-sur-
charged air has been widely noticeable in
the numerous cases of "colds," so called be-
cause there is coughing and discharge Of
mucous from the throat. In reality the sup
posed colds in most instances have been due
to irritation of the bronchial tubes and
lungs by the dust. The cool weather which
has accompanied the drouth was blessing
so far as public health is concerned, be-
cause If there had been warmer condi-
tions the sewers would have been sources
of considerable danger While the break in
the dry spell today was not as pronounced
as the big majority of people would like to
have seen, 1t was greeted nevertheless with
genuine welcome, except. perhaps, by the
racegoers and a few other people whose
personal pleasure might have been spoiled
by the pattering drops.
