Warning

Fred Brockhauser, Sec Treas. of
the Wisconsin State Federation of La
Dor sends out the following:
"The soliciting of advertisements
and cash Moneys in the name of or
ganized labor has in some portions of
the state assumed shameless proper
tons as to endanger the good name
of organized labor and some of its
representatives whose names, in
some cases, have been forged to So
called credentials. For these reasons
we wish to announce that any solic-
iting of advertisements in the name
of the Wisconsin State Federation Of
Labor should be treated as hum
bug and any person presenting him
self as a solicitor of advertisements in
the name of the State Federation of
Labor should be denounced as a
swindler.
While the organization approves of
advertisements by its official organs
the Social Democratic Herald of Mil
waukee and the Sheboygan Volksblatt
these publications must and can stand
upon their merits"

A new BOX FACTORY
Members OF WrU>au Company Have
Their Eyes ON Douglas County
Jack PINE belt.

A report is current to the effect
that Goodwillie Bros, owners of the
Wausau box factory, are looking for
another location. and that in this con
nection they have their eyes turned
toward Superior.
j. G. Goodwilie of Chicago, prom.
inent member of the company, was
in Superior recently, and to several
business friends he is said to have ad +
mitted that prospects for successfully
conducting the business in this city
were tlattering.
The jack pine belts in Douglas
county and vicinity, it is conceded,
would make box factory in this city
a profitable investment.
Mr.. Goodwillie, it is believed. will
lay before his company the advant-
ages of Superior, and advise that the
plant be removed here,

JOHN O'OROAT'S HOUSE.
Famous DomiciIe That Was Long
n Landmark In Britain.

Landmark In Britain.
In the reign OF James ". Of Scot.
land John O'Groat and his two broth
ers, Malcolm and Gavin, arrived at
Caithness and bought the lands Of
Warse and Dugisby. near the beach at
the mouth Of Penland firth, the north
eastern extremity of the mainland or
Scotland. In time their families in
creased until there were eight house
holds of the same name. They lived as
nelghbors In the greatest peace and am
ity, each year holding festival In the
original house. At one Of these annual
gatherings the question Of precedence
arose among the younger members,
and they disputed as to whom should
sit nearest the head of the table or
enter the room first
The old grandfather, Johnny O'Groat
of history, was made arbitrator, lie
promised to have all satisfactorily set
tied by the time of the next annual
meeting. Accordingly he built an eight
sided house In which to hold the an.
nual jubilee. This octagonal domlclIe
was fitted with o door and window
on each side and n round table IN the
center. This arrangement made It pos
slble for each family of the O'GroatS
to enter by his own door and to sit AT a
table which was practically without n
head"

Albino Birds.

A genuine albino blackbird has just
been shot near Catterick Bridge, York
shire. Scientific ornithologists have
clearly enough explained the physio-
logical nature Of albinism in birds, but
it is still mystery what originates
these physiological conditions, and also
why it is that dark plumaged birds,
such as blackbirds, rocks, ETC.. are
more liable to albinism, pure or par
tial, than any others.
1t is very strange, for instance, that
white robins are very rare, and it is
notable that the last. found in this coun-
try was obtained in. Yorkshire (Sed-
bergh district). Last summer per-
fectly white sand martin was seen by
hundreds in the Bentham (Yorkshire)
district. and three or four in other
parts of the north of England. House
martins, also barn Swallows (Hirundo
rustica), are very liable to assume al
binism, and many records are pre-
served in Yorkshire. AS for "pied"
blackbirGs, rocks. and such like, they
are as common as the proverbial black
berries, whereas in the whole of Eng
land there are probably not more than
two records Of albino woodcocks.-Pall

TIE principle of this arrangement
consists in placing tie water tanks
containing the fish along the sides OF
the car and connecting them together
by means Of rubber pipes. These lat
ter are in turn connected with sue
ton pipe ending at pump which, by
means Of force pipe. sends the water
into the various tanks through nozzles.
In this way there is obtained con-
tinuous renewal Of the water OF the
tanks, with an aeration of.the latter
through its contact with the external
air.
The accompanying figure shows the
internal arrangement Of the car, the

width and 9.34 in height, is supported
by en- iron frame 42.6 feet in length
and nine feet in width. This body is
divided into three compartments, one
containing the tanks. another the en-
gine for driving the pumps. and the
third the pump itself.
The tanks. twenty-four in number,
are placed in two rows Of twelve each
along the sides Of the car, and sep
arated by a longitudinal passageway.
Each Of the tanks is connected. by
means Of small pipe. with a conduit
placed on level with the floor and di-
vided into two parts connected in
front and ending through one pipe in
common at the pump. This latter
forces the water into pipe placed at
the upper part of the car above the
tanks. Upon this pipe, opposite each
tank, are three branches consisting
of vertical tubes provided at the lower
part with nozzles through which the
water is introduced into the tanks at
an inch or so above the level of the
liquid. Each of the tanks, OF capaci-
I ty of 1872 gallons, Is capable Of holding
1890 pounds of fish, which makes to-

A young man from San Francisco
met his affianced bride in Abilene by
appointment. They went to the minis
ter and were married with the usual
short ceremony. AS the groom drew a
roll of bills from his pocket to pay the
preacher, the wedding ring, which he
had forgotten, fell to the floor. The
bride looked at that ring regretfully,
though she said nothing OF her disap-
pointment at not being welded by the
ring ceremony. The preacher caught
her look, however, and told the couple
to stand up before him. Then he mar
cied them all over again, using the ring
ceremony. to the very palpable pleas
ure Of the young woman. AS the pair
left the parsonage the groom was
heard to say: well, guess we got

Abstainers Live Long.

The advantages of total abstinence ~
demonstrated by statistics have not, re-
ceiyed much attention In this country.
Until very recently the great Life insurance
companies have not divided the persons
they insure into moderate drinkers and alb
are not obtainable. The Equitable Assw-l
ance Society has now: begun to make the
distinction referred to, and in about fifteen
years it will be in possession OF some val
liable information. If other companies can
be induced to follow the example Of the
Equitable, that is, to put abstainers in a
class by themselves, the coming generation
will be in a position to know beyond fea.
sonable doubt what influence moderate"
drinking has upon longevity:
The British companies which have kept
compared with any Of the American
"giants," the total number of policies is--
sued in any one year by the biggest OF
them, the United Kingdom Temperance
and General Provident InstitutionJ being
below 5000, insuring less than $4,000, ,O00-

who take alcoholic beverages: Phe pre-

Some foreign statistics upon: this subject
are at hand. In Bradford England,
manufacturing place with population or
about $50 1000, there are branches .0f the
Rechabites (abstainers) and the Odd Fel-
lows. The latter consists chiefly OF mod

BANDITS TERRORlZE TOWN
Burglars Use Dynamite at Pavonia,
and Secure Money.
Moro Than Hundred Shots Fired in tho
Attack by Police, But Bandits
Finally Get Awsy.

Camden, N. professional cracks
men, who are supposed to be the same
men who blew up the safe in the
Clarksborough Postoffice, wrecked the
safe in the Office Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Pavonia, a suburb of Cam
den. The burglars opened fire on the
operator in the signal tower and he
narrowly escaped with his life.
Ralph Hines. the night operator in
the signal tower, which is directly op'
posite the railroad station, saw man
standing on the platform of the sta
ton. The mans face was partly COW
cred with handkerchief and the oper-
ator's suspicious were at once aroused.
He called to the stranger and asked
him what he was doing there. and the
man made no reply. Hines then asked
him why hefhad his face covered, and
the stranger. SECUTED back that he had
a. toothache.
At the same instant there was a tre-
mendous explosion inside the railroad
station, and the man on the platform
drew a revolver and opened fire on the
operator. The latter was unarmed and
was compelled to seek refuge inside
the tower from the fusillade of shots
directed at him. Looking from the
window of the tower he saw two men
carry off the booty they bad secured
from the safe, while the third man.
with the revolver, brought up the rear.
All of the men were masked.

graph message to this city for help.
The police Immediately responded, ar
irving on the scene just as the robbers
were holding up freight train. The
robbers compelled the engineer to cut
loose from the train, and then steam
away with his engine. The police
opened fire on the robbers, which they
returned. This running fusillade was
kept I'D for a mile, but the robbers
eventually escaped into the swamp.
Before blowing open the safe in the
station the robbers held up Night
Watchman Oscar Till at the point of a
revolver and took his watch and what
little money he had. Then they cut the
telephone wires, thinking they were
the telegraph wires. The station build.
ing was badly damaged by the .explo-
sion. The safe, which was completely
destroyed, contained a few hundred
dollars.
Another gang blew open the safe in
the Pennsylvania Railroad station at
Marlton, nine miles further on the
road. They got away with the con.
tents of the. safe. The robbery was not
discovered until the station was opened
in the morning.
