BONES OF A HOMESTEADER
FOUND IN MINNESOTA.
ONCE RESIDED IN ELROY
Young Mans Hair Turned Gray from
Fright While He Was Caught in
the Deadfall-MysteriousIy Disap-
peared Last September and Mother
Became Insane over Loss.

Duluth, Mimi, July 16.-Herman
Kratz, a homesteader, who lived II
miles northwest of Ely, Mimi, myster-
iously disappeared last September,
and no trace was ever found of him
until few days ago, when the skele-
ton of a man supposed to have been
Kratz was found by a civil engineer
in a deadfall set for bear five or six
miles from his place in the deep
woods. The flesh had practically all
disappeared from the skeleton, but the
scalp and hair still remained in part
The clothing was rotted away so that
it was of little use for purposes Of
Identification.
One puzzling thing is that the hair
seems somewhat gray, while the hair
of the missing homesteader was dark
brown, but it is thought that the ter
ror of his situation in the bear trap
and the knowledge that he could never
escape caused his hair to whiten. The
odora Kratz, mother of the young
homesteader, who lived on a farm
seven miles from Elroy, Wis, is re-
ported to have become insane recently
over the disappearance and probable
death of her son.

Officers Greatly Out
numbered But Per-
form Their Task
Men Left Lying in
Streets for Friends
to Rescue

Chicago, July 16.-Desperate fight
ing between police and the strikers of
the Kellogg Switchboard company took
place yesterday when the company at
tempted to send freight to the depots.
RevOlvers were used and the police
laid out a number of men, some of
whom were left in the street until
their friends came back and picked
them up.
The first fight occurred when
truck loaded with freight escorted by
police bound for the Burlington depot
started out. A bowling mob Of a thous-
and men and boys followed close upon
the police and pelted them with stones
and sticks. Transfers who sympa-
thized with the strikers managed TO
blockade the Kellogg cOmpany's wagon
as it reached Peoria and Harrison
streets. The police were endeayoring
to clear the street when wOrkmen on
an unfinished building nearby
showered them with bricks. The Of
hcers drew revolvers and fired at the
wOrkmen who fed to the interior of
the building. The police kept up their
fire through the windows and drove
all the wOrkmen away. The second
fight occurred when the police were
escOrting n wagon load OF freight to
the warehouse of the Terminal Trans
fer company. A mob of fully 5000 fol
lowed the wagon, and although the pO-
lice were Outnumbered 100 to 1 they
took the wagon safely to the depot
The mob greatly increased on the re-
turn trip, and pursued the police for
half a mile. pelting them with sticks
and stones.
The climax came at Congress street
and Ogen avenue when a private
Waterman who had no particular call
to mix in the trouble on either side,
fired at one OF the mob. The shot in
famed the mob to the highest degree
and they charged down on the police.
The latter were waiting for the crowd
and when they arrived the officers
went at 1t with fists and clubs. They
were greatly Outnumbered, but fought
well together. and in less than three
minutes had the mob running. Fully
a dozen men with broken heads were
left lying in the street where they had
been knocked by the clubs Of the Of
ficers- Some were loaded into the
wagon and taken to the police station
as the others, who were not hurt, com
menced their retreat. At all the de-
pots where freight was delivered yes
terday freight handlers refused to un-
load any OF the wagons and the work
was done by special men employed by
the companies.

To- 40 editors in the convention.
The feature Of the opening session
was the address OF President Edward

velOpment OF northern Wisconsin and
said in part:
The members OF the association, or
ganized for immigration work, could

men in Wisconsin are unable to COM
prehend that the northern part OF the
state is anything but a great reserva-

few men can hunt and fish. For sew

that we have had more than our share

Honey.

According to Il writer in Health, hon
ey is a valuable medicine and has
many uses. 1t is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is a per-
son with whom it does not agree, but
most people can learn to use it with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer it to
butter. Honey is a laxative and soda
tive, and in diseases of the bladder and
kidneys it is an excellent remedy.
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants, without their injurious
effects, and is u~nequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. AS an external appli-
cation it is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted. In many places
it is much appreciated as a remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the formic acid it contains makes a
better preservative than sugar sirup,
and it is also Used in cooking and con-
fections. Honey does not injure the
teeth as candies do.

since forks were a luxury of later date

The belief ii prophetic dreams is rot
entirely a superstition, according to
the results obtained by two members
of the French institute. They point
out that at night when the senses are
at rest the brain is affected particular
ly by organic feelings in various parts
of the body and that early symptoms
of advancing diseases give a particular
direction to the dreams. A familiar in
stance is nightmare. which indicates a
dyspeptic condition. Immoderate drink
ers see rats, snakes and insects in their
dreams before the actual outbreak of
delirium tremens, and so on.
