Delay In Danish Treaties.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The project
ed treaty of cession of the Danish
West Indies to the United States is
not so we'll advanced as it was hoped
would be the case at this time. 1t
is now doubtful whether the treaty
will be completed in time to submit
to congress when it reassembles
next month. The delay appears to
have arisen through the last change
in the ministry at Copenhagen, the
state department practically having
reached an agreement with the Dan
ish government on the treaty.

Roberta, Creditors.

The T. M. Roberts creditors will re-
ceive about 40 cents on the dollar. This is
the estimate Of Frank Shaw, one Of the
receivers. It is understood that the In
ventory just taken to determine what the
purchasers Of the stock are to pay at 66A
per cent amounts to about s23O,O0O. On
this basis the purchasers will pay about
$164,525. The receivers have on hand
$4,000 and all running expenses paid. This
amount, with the sum which will be re-
ceived from the sale of the entire stock,
is $251, 525. The creditors claims amount
to about 100000.

from Chaska, was attacked by a mob
while returning to his blacksmith shop
recently. He was beaten on the head
with a club, his skull being fractured.
and he died next morning at 10 o'clock.
The supposition is that his asailants all

past.
Knor was we'll known in Mcleod and
Carver counties. having lived the larger

Germs Carried by Insects.

If malaria is conveyed by mosquf-
toes it is probable that other insects
may play like part. A French physi-
clan records that certain family had
a member who for years was subject
to frequent malarial attacks. and that
three children in the family were
seized with the disease directly after
some oleanders were brought into the
house. The malaria germ was found
in lice on the plants.

James Brown and James Mccall Have
a Miraculous Escape From In
slant Death Under Wheels.
WERE STRUCK BY FAST EXPRESS.
Had Started to Cross the Tracks at zion
City When the Accident Occurred
Both Escape with Slight Injuries.

Friday was a lucky day for James
Brown, building foreman at Zion City,
and John Mccall, one of his employees,
for on that day the two men had the
wierd experience of being struck by an
express train running at the rate of
more than sixty miles an hour, and
both of them escaped with inconsider-
able injuries. Mccall was only
slightly bruised by coming in contact
with barbed wire fence, and Brown,
who received the full force of the
speeding train, escaped with only a
compound fracture of his shoulder.
The escape of the men was almost
miraculous. Both of them had been
employed at the lace factory at Zion
City, and shortly after five O'Clock
they started to he station to catch an
accommodation train for Kenosha. AS
they were crossing the track freight
train came along and they stepped to
one side to get out of the way of the
engine. Never thinking of danger,
Mccall walked up the track few yards
to get around the end of the train and
Brown followed.
The men had walked but few steps
when the fast express, leaving this
city at 4:5o, dashed by. Brown was in
the center of the track and the train
struck him, fairly hurting him through
the air. In his flight he struck his
companion and dragged him from the
track in front of the train. Mccall
was struck with such force that he was
thrown through the air and struck in
barbed wire fence twenty feet from the
track, while his companion fell in the
ditch close beside him.
Nc Call was dazed, but he regained
consciousness in a short time and hur-
ried to the assistance of Brown.
Brown was conscious and explained
the accident, but a moment later he
tainted away and remained in an un-
conscious condition until he was
brought to Kenosha on the accOmno-
dation train a short time later. He
was taken to the Maple house the
emergency hospital of the Railway
company and an investigation showed
that he had escaped with a broken
shoulder.
DR.. Farr, the surgeon of the Rail
way company in Kenosha, was called
and attended to the wants of the in
iured men. Mccall was able to re-
sumo work this morning, but Brown
will be laid up for several weeks.
Brown came to this city from New
York a short time ago to accept the
position of foreman of the lace factory.
His relatives all reside in New York.

WAS A PRETTY AUTUMN WEDDING
The Ceremony Was Performed by Father
Elskamr in the Presence of over
Five Hundred Guests.

The marriage of Miss Pauline M.
Schend, youngest daughter of Alder
man Christian Schend, and one Of the
most prominent young ladies of the
city, to Frank Xavier Swift, was cele-
brated at st. Georges church at nine
o'clock Thursday morning.
The wedding was typical Thanks
giving day nuptia1s, and was one of
the main features of the season in
North side society. In honor of the
event the church was pretti1y deco
rated. Great banks of palms and
flowers had been placed in all parts of
the chance1, while the affairs were re-
sp1endent with a wealth of chrysan$
themums and other autumn beauties.
More than five hundred guests were
present at the pretty church ceremony,
and assisted in showering congratula-
tons on the fair bride and fortunate
bridegroom. The mixed choir of the
church rendered special music for the
occasion, and Professor Flasch played
the wedding march as the bridal party
entered the church. The bride entered
attended by her father, who gave her
away. She was becoming1y attired in
4. gown of mode broadcloth, richly or
namented with jewels. She wore
picture hat and carried a shower bon-
quet of brides roses. The maid-of-
honor was Miss Emma Zievers, who
was dainti1y attired in a gown of mode
cheveron and carried chrysanthe-
NUNS.
The groom was attended by his
brother, William Swift, while Messrs.
Michael Donahue and Raymond Swift
acted as ushers. The bridal party was
met at the altar by Father Elskamp,
who performed the ceremony in very
impressive manner. During the cere-
mony Miss Rose Ludwig sang the
cave" in very charming manner.
After the ceremony the bridal party
and many friends returned to the home
of the BRIDE, where the wedding dinner
was served. The house was beautifully
decorated with chrysanthemums and
| Brides roses.
During the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Swift held an informal reception to
their friends at the BRIDES home.

point they will go East for three
weeks honeymoon. They will make
their home at 571 West street, and will
be at home to their friends after Janu-
airy the First.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swift were the rec1pi-
ents Of many beautiful presents from
their many friends.
This paper joins in extending the
heartiest congratulations and wishes
for long and happy married life.

MARRIED IN CHICAGO.
Young People of Salem Spring Delicate
Little Surprise on Their Friends.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Miss Cora Watkins and Philip De-
Launty, two well known young people
of the town of Salem, sprung very
pretty little surprise on their friends in
all parts of the county this morning
when they'came to Kenosha and took a
train to Chicago, where they were
married.
The announcement of the wedding
will undoubtedly cause quite furore
in the village of Salem, where both OF
the young people are we'll and favor
ably known. The two had been en-
gagged for some time, but no announce
ment of the approaching marriage had
been made until yesterday, when the
young lady announced to her mother
that she was to be married in Chicago
today. The young people will return
to Salem to make their home and they
will be given royal welcome.

The most unique Thanksgiving din
ner in Wisconsin yesterday was given

tramps south of this city, when sixty

table loaded down with all the de1ica-
cies of the season. The tramps came

arations for the feast. Early Thurs
day morning twelve turkeys, eight
chickens, fourteen geese and young
pig were slaughtered for the feast. The
fowls and pig were cooked in a great
kettle hung over the fire and dinner
was served at noon.
The dinner was presided over by
"Long' Tom of Detroit, Mich, who is
known as the head of the tramp organ
ization in this part of the country.
During the afternoon the men INDUCED
in general carousa1, ten kegs of beer
being consumed.
The tramps left this morning, most
of them starting South to spend the
winter. The dinner, which is an an
nua1 event, is said to have been the
most largely attended one ever held at
the park. The tramps were not in any
way disturbed by the authorities from
this city or from Waukegan. 1t is
claimed that all the provisions served
at the dinner were purchased in Chi
cago and taken to the rendezvous by
members of the party.

AFTER A MARRIAGEABLE MAN
Mrs. Grace Smell Coffin Orders Her Butcher
to Get Her Marriageab1e Man

The little village of Salem is all
agog this week on account of the
strange actions of Grace Smell Coffin,
the woman of many divorces, ordering
her butcher to find for her marriage
able man.
Mrs. Coffin has just returned to the
world after a months sec1usion follow
ing her divorce from Frank N. Coffin,
and when she made her first trip to the
village on Wednesday she announced
to her butcher that she was looking for
a manageable man. The butcher took
the matter seriously and at once start
ed on his hunt. The announcement of
Mrs. Coffin created quite furore and
all the young men of Salem and in the
country for miles about are now dress
ing in their best and making this last
effort to win the hand of the fair di-
vorcee. Mrs. Coffin has not as yet
granted any of the proposed husbands
an audience, but there will probably
be hot time when she begins to make
her selection.
In the meantime the woman who
has caused this CONSERVATION among
the sterner sex in Salem has retired to
her quiet home on Lake Zurich to
await developments.
