Obituary.
CLAUS JACOBSON.

CLAUS jacobson died at his home in
Stoughton last Saturday afternoon from
injuries received Friday morning while
at his work in the Mandt shops. 4 piece
of timber which he was placing in posi-
ton for saving at circular saw was in
some way thrown against his body. He
did not think himself seriously injured,
but the man who was working with him
prevailed upon him to 60 home, which
he did, and later he made trip to the
drug store. He soon found, however,
that he was growing worse, and the two
doctors who were called in pronounced
his case very serious one and it was
soon evident that death would come in a
very short time.
Mr.. jacobson was born in the parish
of Eker, Norway in 1886. He came to
this country in 1880, and has, with the
exception of short residence in Slough
ton, lived in Edgerton. He was mem

cation, and the remains were brought to

his first marriage only one daughter sur
wives him, namely, Mrs. F. J. Hartzheim

HARVESTING THE sUsQUBHANEA
RIVER.
Government Engineers Are Gathering
Data With That End in View.
Inquiry Begun Looking Into the Feasibility
Of MAKING II Navlgable Between Norihum.
berland and Tide Water.

Government engineers will make
an examination of the Susquebanna
river from Northumberland to tide
water with view TO ascertaning
whether it is feasible to make the
river nav!gable for that portion of its
length and what the probable cost
will be.
The first practical result of the
provision inserted in the recent river
and harbor bill at the instance OF
Congressman Olmsted, authorizing
such an examination of the river, was
the arrival in Harrisburg of Mr.. c.
A. Miner, member of the United
States corps of engineers of which
Colonel Jared E. Smith is the head.
Mr.. Miner spent several hours in the
Office of the secretary of internal
affairs and made an exhaustive exami.
nation of the maps and surveys of the
river on file there.
Later he called upon Congr essman
Olmsted for information as to just
what was contemplated under the
river and harbor hill Mr.. Olmstead
said that in a general way, the idea
was to have congress informed whether
some of the large sums which are
annually expended for the improve
ment OF rivers and harbors could not
be prohtably used in improving the
Susquehanna, in view Of the great
traffic which could be sent to tide
water in that way, if the river were
navigable.
Mr. Miner expects to call upon
various parties along the river for in
formation, and was particularly re-
quested by Mr.. Olmsted to call upon
Squire Klugh, at Highspire, who,
when a congressional candidate some
years ago, expressed the belief that
the rver could be made navigable for
large vessels as far as Steelton.
The government engineers will
make an examination of the river
from Northumberland to its mouth,
and it is expected that report will
be made to the next session of con-
gress.

close police investigation and conjec-
ture.
Mr. Fish was the head of one of the
most distinguished families in the

wealth and at one time minister at the
court of Belgium. He died at the
Roosevelt hospital from the effects of
injuries received during the course of
an alteration with n stranger in Ehr-
hardt's saloon. at the corner of Eighth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street. Ac-
cording to information gathered by the

private detective, whO with two wo-
men who were present at the time,

LEARN A TRADE.
A Tradesmah Earns More Money Than Many
Professional Men.

From all over the country comes
complaints that too few boys are
learning trades. We noticed in one
of our exchanges few days ago that
the master founders were considering
the advisability of establishing c trade
school in some metropolis, where
young men should be taught the
mysteries of the trade, hoping that in
that manner they can be induced to
learn the trade. All trades report a
shortage of apprentices. There seems
to be an irdlsposltion ou the part of
the young men to enter any calling
where they cannot wear creased pants,
while there are far more applications
for clerkships than can be served.
The salary of a skilled workman in
almost any trade exceeds the amounts
earned by the majority of professional
men. In the professions it is only
the conspicuous success that makes
anything like good money, while the
miserable failures exc out an existence
on the crumbs dropped from the
tables OF their more successful breth-
rem. Our advice to the young man
is to become a skilled workman at
some one of the trades. There is a
field for bright intellects in a machine
shop as well as in lawyers Office.

welt was making a round of calls,
and visited, among others, house
at which Mrs. La Toilette was as
sisting the hostess to receive. The
young commissioner became very
much interested in discussion
which sprung up, and in making a
sudden gesture with his arm, swung
it back and knocked out of the hand
of passing servant a cup of choco-
late, which fell plump into the lap
of Mrs. La Toilette. As i'll fate
would have it, the gown which she
was wearing was the wtite silk in
which she was married, and which,
naturally, she cherished for associa-
tons sake.
Every apology possible to make,
says the Chicago journal, Mr.. ROose-
welt made on the spot, and Mrs. La
Toilette was most amiable in her
way of treating the accident; but it
was an embarrassing situation all
around, and spoiled the day for the
commissioner, who racked his brain
to think of some way of making the
damage good by indirection. He
could not offer compensation for the
spoiled gown, nor could he send her
a new one. He was finally COM
PEELED to fall back upon the usual
recourse; and the most beautiful

The prominence lately given to the

Trusts and Cuba.

OYSTER BAY, n. V, Sept. 17.-Sen-
ators Hanna, Spooner, Allison, Aldrich
and Lodge and Postmaster General
Payne spent several hours with Presi-
lent Roosevelt yesterday and discussed
with him the entire political situation,
having special reference with regard to
the conditions in the western states
which the president is to visit on his
approaching trip.
The parties to the conference were
very close mouthed after they returned
from Sycamore Hill. but ii can be
stated on reliable authority that il was
decided to make no attempt to revise
the tariff at the coming session of con-
gress, that the president is to maintain
his position as to the trusts and further
that he is to insist in his demand for
reciprocity with Cuba. 1t is understood
hat he will fully outline his policy re-
sarding this latter question in some of
The speeches he is to make on his west
ern trip. 1t also can be stated on eX-
cellent authority that the coal strike
was not discussed.
The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain if
there had been any marked political
changes in the different sections of the
country during the past year. The CON
ference. ii is said, showed that there
had been none.
''The conference was entirely harmo-
uious,' said one of the gentlemen who
participated in it, but who declined to
allow his name to be published. mo
differences of opinion developed. and
the presidents position on the different
questions discussed was indorsed. We
talked over the entire political situa-
ton, especially that in the states
through which the president is TO pass.

HON. BEN T. CABLE.

Chicago Chronicle reporter, candi-
dates will stand for election on the
proposition of fighting the trusts by
means of a revised tariff, the atti-
tude of the ruling party on island
reciprocity and the rights of the
Filipinos as voiced by Senator Hoar.
Mr.. Cable is type of the rich man
who finds fascination in politics, and
plays the game purely for the liking
of, it. His associations have been
what is loosely termed "the silk
stocking element"-comprising quite
number of men of means, but ex-
perienced campaigners, nevertheless.
This branch of the Illinois democracy
has control of the state machinery.
and in the campaign of 1896 was op-
posed to the party stand on the
main issue Mr., Cables home is in
Rock Island, but politics will keep
him in Chicago most of the time.
