Jams in Hawaii.

According to }. IL Brown, inspector
of immigration for the Hawaiian ISL
ands, the japanese Labor which has
fiocked to the country is less desirable
for plantations than the Chinese.
Neither the white nor the natives OF
Hawaii will work on the plantations.
It is an interesting fact, as explained
by Mr.. Brown, that in some cases the
Japanese learn trades and displace
white skilled laborers. In all the dis
cussion of Chinese exclusion In the
United States there has been very little
said about the Chinese supplantlng
skilled labor.-Buffalo Express.

NORMAL TEAM
FAILS TO SCORE
Lancaster High School Team
Wins Big Victory.
BEST GAME OF SEASON
Doughty High School Aggregation Does
Up Heavy AdverSarieS by
Score of to o.

There was more football to the
square inch on the fair grounds
gridiron Saturday afternoon for
forty minutes than ever before was
witnessed in Lancaster. There
were not 1000 people there, indeed
the attendance was not what it
should have been in comparison
with the great game played by the,
twenty-five young men who con-
tested for victory.
The Platteville Normal football
team, flushed with conceit of num-
erous contests won, came to Lancas-
ter Saturday with one chief object
in view-that of defeating the Lam
caster high school, against whom no
team has yet scored this season.
The game was practically to decide
the championship of Southwestern
Wisconsin, both teams having won
everything they went after during
the season The visitors represent
ed the flower of the Normal as far
as athletic qualifications go-thor-
oughly trained by an experienced
coach and in great form for strife.
Heavy fellows they were and in ap-
pearance seem to outweigh the home
team a third
At 2:3O p. m. the signal for play
found the teams lined up for the
scrimmage and the fight for the pig
skin was on. Platteville kicked off.
Lancaster secured the ball and kept
t. Plunges and end plays soon
found the fight on Platteville's ter
ritory and before the first half was
hardly well commenced Will Mack
ely by clever piece of work Of the
Pat O'Dea order kicked goal from
the field Score to 0 at end of
first half in favor of Lancaster
In the second half the Normal
team braced up and fought harder
than ever. Their efforts were UNI
awaiting however and not once was
a point in reach. Lancaster's de-
Tense was invulnerable and time
after time did the visitors lose the
ball through their inability to gain
on downs. Whenever the home ag-
gregation secured possession of the
pigskin advances were made despite
| the work of their heavier adversar-
les, systematic interference and
clever end plays winning much
ground. The last half ended with
out either side securing another
point, with the ball dangerously
close to Plattevilles goal.
Lancaster people may well be
proud of their plucky football team,
conceded to be the best in this Sec
ton of the state. Individually it is
hard to comp iment each player be-
cause all are good. Everyone
played star game Saturday, and
let not one opportunity pass. In
the line they charged with univer-
sity aggressiveness and on defense
could be seen filtering through the
Platteville line like a stampede Of
chickens through a picket fence.
1t was a great game and great day
for Lancaster high school when the
Normal pennant was bedraggled.

Seventy-Five Tons a Minute.

Iron ore was loaded yesterday at the
Chicago & North Western docks at
Ashland, Wis, at the tremendous
rate of speed of 5000 tons an hour.
The exact figures were 5000 tons in one
hour and eight minutes, the ore being
loaded into the steamer, James II.
Hoyt, which is built with special
view to rapid loading and unloading.
The North Western has 5wo big ore
docks at Ashland, each one of them
about Il of mile long, and it was at
one of these large storage docks that
the Hoyt received it's load in record
breaking time. Supt. Sampson Of the
North Western personally supervised
che loading, and several newspaper
men witnessed 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 have made the handling of ire
mendous quantities of ore possible.
The docks Of the North Western line
at Ashland and Escanaba have a cap
acity 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 80 per cent. and be
the largest ore dock on the Lakes.

Ar Cant Kills Another Negro Named
Porter.

Thursday night four negroes
went to Gum Spring, near Stanlev's
bridge, some four miles from town
TO shoot craps. Porter and Ar1
Cant sat down in the road while
the other two proceeded to gather
wood to make fire. While thew
were gone, Cant and Porter began
quarrel over a debt that Porter
owed Cant. The latter jumped up
and pulling pistol from his pocket
shot Porter through the back of the
neck, killing him instantly. The
other negroes stood near and saw
Cant rifle the pockets of his victim

about twenty feet and throw it in a
ditch, where it remained until found
by two negroes who work on the

A Bold Burglar.

A negro named Herman Hall,
known about town, entered Girls
som q Godwin's grocery store on
Main street last Friday night and
took about three or four dollars in
cash which had been left over after
turning in the days sales. He
found loose pane of glass which
had been temporarily adjusted and
covered with board, and removing
these he entered the store. Satur-
day night Marshal Klnnard posted
himself to watch the place, and
again on Sunday night when the
negro returned. In the meantime
the glass was left in the same con.
dition and the affair kept quiet in
order to trap the negro. Mrs. Kin
nard was with the Marshal and
both waited for the burglar to en-.
ter, which he did about Il. IS O'Clock
going into the meat stall, inclosed
with wire netting, About that
time Mr.. Kinnard turned on the
lights, and motioning Mrs. Kin.
nard to drop behind the desk where
she was seated, pointed his gun at
Hall. The negro was evidently
badly frightened at the sight, stand.
ing for an instant with his mouth
open in a CHASTITY smile. 1t was
only tor a second, however, when he
recovered and ran back through
the side room where he entered. AS
he was climbing through the win
dow the Marshal caught him by
the shoulder and the negro drew
and struck with his knife at the
Marshal, who pushed him aside
and leveled the gun at him, at the
same time warning the negro he
would kill him if he started to run
Paying no heed to the command
the thief made a dash for liberty
and the Marshal not wishing tc
kill, fired at his heels and again al
his legs. Several others, including
night Patrolman Simmons, came tt
the Marshal's assistance, and blood
hounds were soon put on the ne
groes trail.
He was tracked to his mother:
home, but when the officers gained
entrance they found the bird hac
flown; but he left behind in thu
way of plumage his coat, which
was torn into shreds by the shot.
