JUSTICES OF THE PEACE
Saturday, January II, 1902.


The latest trust to be formed is a
Lawyers Trust" A dispatch from
La Crosse says:
1.-THE La Crosse County Bar Asso-
citation has decided to create a trust
in fees, believing that the present
prices for legal work are altogether
too low A committee has been ap-
pointed to draw up fee bill contain
ing a maximum and minimum rate
for different kinds of work, and the
members will be expected to conform
to it. 1t Is charged that too much
business is being secured by cutting
prices these days"
1t is evident that there are alto
gether too many in the legal fratern-
ity, and especially of the cheap va
riety. No able attorney can afford to
prepare himself for the bar and then
work for common day labor wages

Population.

The comparison OF populations
made by the census bureau, embracing
as it does more than two thirds of the
people in the world is full of interest
Population is not the only or the
largest element of national greatness,
but it is a fair measure of it when the
population has about the same physic
Al and moral value. The statistics Of
the census bureau must be annalized
with reference to this before they are
taken as an index of national power.
OF the five nations compared in the
census estimates, the United States
stands forth in the total population;
but 1t stands second, if not first in the
physical and moral value Of the eIe-
ments that make up population. We
have S4,OOO,OOO OF people, nearly TO-
100000 of whom are white, aud most
of these of the dominant Teutonic
races. China and the British empire
have over $4,000, 900 each; but the
former may be disregarded as all of
inferior races and of the latter SOC, OOO,-
900 60 into the same categor.
The whole British empire contains
only from 100000 to 55, 900, 600 white
Anglo Saxons. Russia comes next
with l31 100000 people, but of these
at least 10000. 900 must be Asiatics.
Russia has grown faster than any but
the American nation, though it has
been more largely by annexation of
populous countries. But even 80 the
Russian population has multiplied
only 3la times in 100 years. while that
of the United States has increased Is
fold since the beginning of the century.

LABUk in DtihAND.
More Men Wanted for the Woods.
Prices Advancing.

The demand for men at the free en-
Dlosment bureau is steadily increasing
and Superintendent Stewart is having
no trouble in supplying applicants for
jobs with position. The demand for
men is especially great in the logging
industry. There has been a steady in
crease since New Years and wages
have stiffened until they are pretty
steady around the $50 marx. The
continued cold weather since the hOii-
days has kept the loggers busy on the
ice roads, the thaw of yesterday being
the only one obstacle to good roaGs
which the loggers have met sThere
has been very little snow III the woods
SO the operations have not been inter
fered With on that score. IL is stated
by the operators that the ice on all
the lakes and low grounds is of suifc-
that logging has been retarded by thin
ice earlier in the season If now being
carried on without a drawback
There are fewer woodsmen to be
seen Oh our streets since the opening
of the year. These who came down
with a stake to spend the holidays
have succeeded IN spending the ac-
cumulations OF the past three months
and are now willing to go back into
the woods and pile up another stake
before the operators close with the
opening of spring.
Tue increased logging operations in
this sectiont Of the country is noticed
by the greatly increased sales of the
wholesalers, Local wholesalers claim
that their sales of food have increased
more than % per cent over the sales
of last year. 1t ID claimed that the
cost of equipment and provisions is
higher than last year. In the event
that this is true, considering the high
wages paid thus far during the logging
seasan. it can be readily understood
that many of the operators are
launched in business which will
cause them to 40 some very close fig
uring on the probable profits of the
seasons work.--Leader

Found Dead.

An unknown man was found dead
under the Belknap viaduct early
Thursday morning. The dead man
was found lying at the foot of the
stairs leading down from the east APP
proach to the viaduct and could not
have been dead for a great length of
time when found, as the body was
still warm.
The ran was fairly we'll dressed and
about 80 years Of age and upon his
person was found a silver watch and
$3.50 in money. 1t is advanced as a
cause of his death that he may have
fallen down the stairs leading to the
viaduct.

THE WRONG WOMAN.
Thrilling Experience of Superior Mer
chant With a Strange Woman

b
at Night.
A tall story has leaked out in regard
to tall dry goods man i'll Superior.
The said tall man enjoys a joke at
some one else's expense and will not
object to the recital of this true yarn.
Called back to his store the other
night, to look after some business in
the private Office, he spent an hour or
30 on the books. The big room was
dark, save few lights here and there
and not sound was heard i'll the
building, where during the day busy
throngs had moved along in the in
spection and purchase of goods, there
was nothing but gloom.
His labors completed, the mere hant
at last started for home, passing down
an aisle to the rear door. When near
the exit, he was almost paralized to
see, in the deep gloom, human figure
standing at his side. Knowing that
no living being but himself should be
III the store room at that hour of the
light, at least for a lawful purpose, he
started back ..and prepared 10 defend
himself. His left hand flew TO his hip
pocket for his revolver, but, alas, it
ried it for years. By this time he had
. looked over the figure more closely
and saw to his astonsl ment that it
! was that Of woman, and, moreover,
that she had a pleasing face and was
handsomely dressed.
A hundred thoughts flew through
the tall merchants head in moment
/ First, he was no longer frightened.
, He could handle a woman even If al G
was armed with gun and had felo-
nous and burglarious intents. Then
again probably he had left the re ,r
door unlocked, and this lady might be
an old time customer who, seeing
even a dim light, had entered The
store. Very politely, and with a bow
worthy OF IA millionaire mel chant, he
said:
Coed evening, madam, what can
uu tor you?''
the merchant recoiled a few feet
Bracing up, he again ventured:
Good evening. lady, is there some
thing you are looking for?"
A cold, stony glare from the prouc
and naughty face was the only reply
Thoroughly alarmed, the merchan
was uncertain whether to step to the
private office and ring.for the police
or to boldly take hold Of the woman
and hold her until the police could b'
found. In his INDIGESTION he saw al
uDiighted electric globe near by, ant
in an instant he had turned it On
flooding everything around with
glare of light. TO the beWildermen
of the merchant the last woman il
Superior that he expected to confron

over, he nearly fell to the floor. H
