LA CROSSE, Wis. Nov. Presidents
of this city are watching with great inter-
est the DEVELOPMENTS in the phantom mar
rtage case which was brought to the at
tention of the authorities and the La
Crosse Spiritualistic society a few days
ago. 1t is stated that upon various
nights each week a ghostly couple appear
at the Norwegian Lutheran church, in
the eastern part of La Crosse, are mar
ried, and suddenly disappear. Each night
large crowds of citizens watch in the vi
cinity for the appearance OF the specta-
tors. Last night fully $50 people were
upon the scene. The story, as told by an
aged lady residing near the church. IS
that upon certain nights, after midnight,
a phantom couple appear before the little
one-story frame church. They are dress
ed as bride and groom. They silently
approach the church, and as they reach
the door it is opened by unseen hands
and they pass inside. A faint light is
seen, which gradually grows brighter and
more distinct, until the entire interior of
the building is flooded with radiance
Though there is no organ in the church,
a phantom choir and the notes of mann
moth organ can be plainly heard Sud
denly all of this ceases, the lights go out
and the unearthly couple disappear.
Upon Thursday night the strange scene
is alleged to have been witnessed by
woman and little boy who were passing
the church late at night. The myster-
tous scene has also been enacted upon
several other occasions. The crowds in
waiting have been unable to see the phe-
nomenon as yet, but each night more
people station themselves in the vicinity
of the church. The little building is To-
Gated in one of the most desolate parts
of the city, and has not been used for
some time. 1t was built many years ago.
The La Crosse Spiritualistic society is
greatly excited over the affair, and is
preparing to make an investigation Of
the matter. There seems to be no ex-
PLANTATION of the weird occurrence, though
many of the less superstitious believe it
to be the work of practical jokers.

ers' association was in the very best po-
ssition to improve its opportunities.
I'VE must recognize" said Mr.. Wyman,
that there is no perfection in human be-
ings and institutions. We must recog-
nize that there are many good compa-
MES ably represented. It is our oppor-
tunity to train men in the ethics of our
business. to adopt methods that elevate
our business, and we will be rewarded
with increased public confidence. The
rules that govern the members of our as
ISOLATION should be those that govern
gentlemen No man can be success in

ligion of the life insurance business. For
it has its religion in the provision it
makes for the care of many who would

DULUTH. Nov. 23-The United States
government. through the war depart
ment, has finally secured title to forty
acres OF land on Wisconsin point that it
mas long sought to obtain. 1t is prin-
c1pally desired for use in the improve
ment of the natural entry to the Superior
harbor
There are some interesting features
connected with the governments efforts
to get the land. One was the fact that
about 400 persons were interested in the
ownership Of the strip wanted. In order
TO get clear title under these conditions
condemnation proceedings were institut-
ed by Maj. Sears while has was engineer
In charge Of Lake Superior improve
ments. The appraisers appointed liked
the value Of the land at $4,000, which
the major thought was exorbitant and
the matter was dropped. After the
major had been transferred to the Phil
lpplnes his successor, Capt. Gaillard re-
vtved negotiations, and the findings of
the appraisal board were taken to the
United States circuit court at Madison,
Wis. The court held that $4,000 was a
reasonable figure for the land, and Capt.
Galllard has just paid over the money to
the 400 claimants. There were many
very small fractional parts in the own
ership, some receiving but 10 cents of
the $4,000. They were described as hav-
ing a 1-30240th interest each.
The improvements contemplate the
widening Of the entry and the construc-
t1On OF new and permanent piers.
Another important discovery Of iron
ore is reported from the Mesaba range.
1t is short distance east of Biwabik,
and near the old Cincinnati mine. M.
l.. Fay and John Costin, of Virginia,
and John McGreevy, of Duluth, are
largely interested in the property. The
prospectors have one drill down in ore
for distance of forty, and still in ore,
while test pit has shown thirty feet
Of ore, and more in sight. The mines in
the vicinity of Biwabik have not been
operated very extensively the past two
or three years, and the discovery of a
good property will considerably enliven
that end of the range.

MUST NOT WRITE NAME.
State Provides Only Way to Get
Name on Ballot.

PIERRE, s. D., Nov. 2S.-The supreme
court, in the case of Chamberlain VS.. AL
ley, from Brown county, rendered a de-
cision which is of great Importance over
the state. The case involves the right of
an individual to write name on his bal
lot other than those which have been
properly certified and printed officially
In 1895 Chamberlain was voted for by
writing in his name in one Of the Brown
county commissioner districts, as a can
didate for commissioner, and the can
vassing board refused to count such bal
lots. Chamberlain brought suit against
the county for 1884, which he alleged was
the amount due him as county commits
sioner for Re term to which he claimed
to be elected. and the court, in an opinion
by Corson. holds that the law provides
the only means for getting name before
the people to be voted for any office
and that names written on a ballot are
not legally cast for any individual In
substance, the court holds that names
written on ballot should not be consid-
cred in making canvass of the yete.
Judge Fuller dissents from opinion of
the majority of the court, holding that the
constitution gives to a man the right to
cast his ballot for whom he pfeases, and
that he cannot be 1egislated out of this
right by ballot restrictions
