SALARY REDUCED.
The Light Vote cut down Salary of
Probate Judge.

There will be a big drop in Judge
Hauser's salary as county Judge by
reason of the light vote polled in the
county. 1t has been $500 per year
for the last term. The law fixing the
salary of county Judge makes the pro-
vision that in counties having 10000
or more population, the salary shall
be $500, and the population is ascer-
tained by the county auditor multi-
plying the vote cast at the general
election by five. The vote Of two
years ago was 4O37 which put Brown
county in the $500 class. The total
yoteSin the county this year will be
little over 100, SO that the salary
the probate judge will receive for the
next term will be less than 5000.

sEvENTY.F FIVE TONS MINUTE
Over 5000 Tons of iron Ore Loaded
in an Hour. All Ore Loading
RECORDS ON THE GREAT LAKES BROKEN.


Irpn Ore was loaded yesterday at
the Chicago s. North. Western Docks
at Ashland, Wis, ut the tremendous
rate of speed of 5000 tons an hour.
The exact figures were 1902 tons ia
one -hourand eight minutes, the ore
being loaded into the steamer, s'James
sH. Hoyt." which is built with a spec
ial view to rapid loading and unload
ing.
The orth-Westcrn Line has two
big ore docks at Ashland, each one of
them abont one-half of a mile long,
and it was at one Of these large stor-
age docks that the Hoyt received it's
load in record breaking time. Supt.
Sampson of the North Western per-
sonally supervised the loading, and
several newspaper men Witnessed it
and corroborated the correctness of
the record. The last.ore was let into
the hold, and the lines were cast off
in record-breaking time, in fact, the
engineer of the boat hardly found
time to get the water ballast out of
the vessel.
This rapid work is made possible by
the exceptional facilities Of the North
Western line. Large capacity cars
and big docks with large storage ca
pacity has made the handling Of tre-
mendous quantities Of ore possible.
The docks of the North Western
line at Ashland and Escanaba have a
capacity exceeding that of any other
line in the Lake Superior region, to
which is to be added one now building
which, when completed, will increase
their capacity almost fifty per cent
and be the largest ore dock ON the
Lakes.

CHARACTER IN BANK CHECKS.
The Style of the Slips Are in Many
Cases Plain or Ornam entail
Like the Signer.

Man shows a deal of his individuality
in his bank checks. A 'hashy" man
will have Il 'hashy" check, and man
who wears loud" clothes and big
rings will have a check engraved Oh
tinted paper, with pictures and his
name covering the ends of it, with or
namental characters.
plain, quiet, business man has q
plain, quiet check. 1t does not fol-
low because man has his check made
to order, instead of taking the ready
made kind that the banks furnish him,
that he has big bank account, any
more than a cheap suit of clothes indi-
Gates that man cannot afford to buy
better. On the contrary, man with
| bank account who uses quiet checks
usually has bigger balance than the
man who sends out specimens of en-
craving with his signature on them,
says the New York Herald.
The Astors use checks with no en-
craving, being plainly printed. When
an Astor draws personal check the
name is printed near the left edge, in
the plainest manner. The enumbers are
not even printed on them, but when
filed in at all are filled in with ink.
The Astors use a good quality of pink
colOred paper.
The Vanderbilt checks are more elab-
crate than those of the Astors, though
not much more. They are not so elab-
crate now as they used to be.
One of the first things that some
men do when they go into business is
to have their checks made to order.
They think that it gives them certain
distinction, and it shows that they are
of Importance.
If there can be said to be a fashion
in checks, small checks are the most
fashionable checks. A big check is bad
form. 1t is also bad form to carry a
pocket checkbook. 1t has an air Of dis
play about it, and shows the charac-
ter of a man, just as the wearing of
many diamonds does. The proper
thing to do is to have big book, three
checks wide, and to tear out two or
three to carry around loose in the
pocket.
Tellers and cashiers prefer the plain
printed to the deliberately engraved
checks. They are easier to read easier
to keep tally of, and rather hard to
alter. An alteration or change shows
easier on plain check than on an elab-
crate one.
1t is with banks as with men. A
good deal about bank can be told
from the kind of checks it furnishes.
Country banks furnish more elaborate
checks than city banks. Big banks
have palmer checks and better paper
than smaller banks.
The Chemical bank has plain checks
on fine quality Of paper. Smaller
