John Redmond's amendment to the
Irish land bill, which sought to abolish
the minimum price fixed in the bill at
which the landlord may sell, even If the
landlord and tenant might agree on Il
lower price, was rejected Tuesday by
vote Of PIT to 40. The land bill
appears to be in grave danger of de-
feat. Mr.. Redmond notified Secretary
able to the Irish Nationalist without
the amendment, and John Morley for
the Liberals stated that the English
and Scotch members would only sup
port the bill so long as it was accept
table to the Irish representatives.

WARNING! LOOK OUT FOR

Letter from j. A. Corriyeau Showing What
Is Being Done by Grafters.

our business men:
GAS [ see by the WooD COUNTY
REPORTER that someone is trying to
get up a directory, l send you the
incloSed clipping. | can not say
whether this is the same outfit or not
but it would be well to publish the
item"
The clipping is as follows:
In the arrest of Jacob W. Geist
in Louisville Thursday local detectives
assert that they have one of gang
of ''fake directory" swindlers who
have secured over 100000 from
merchants and have been all over this
country and Europe. They claim to
publish national gazetteer in New
York and Chicago, and where bona
fide orders for advertising are given
the amount to be paid, it is charged,
is raised, while applications for sample
copies are turned into contracts for
payment at the central office, say the
detectives, by means of acids and
printing appliances. Five local firms
say they were swindled in amounts
ranging from S25 to $780,"

SLOT MACHINES
KNOCKED OUT
Saio0nkeepers Have 0heyed Or
der OF District Attorney
I. W. Brazeau.
MACHINES BEING RE-
TURNED TO THE OWNERS
Every Little Mon ey Made from
Them, Anyhow" Said
One Sal0Onman.

District Attorney BraZeau'S order
to keepers, managers, etc, OF devices,
schemes and contrivances, including
slot machines, has been obeyed to the
letter, as far as can be learned.
The time limit set was Thursday,
Aug. q, even before that time num-
Der Of saloonkeepers had removed
the slot machines. Some turned the
machines to the wall and removed The
cranks Friday and Saturday. Today,
it is reported, that all machines have
been removed, or at least cannot be
operated.
Several Of the saloonkeepers will
ship their machines back to the firms
that placed them here,
One saloonkeeper said yesterday:
"The order does not hurt me in the
least. In fact am glad that the dis
trict attorney took the step. Very
little money is made from the ma
chimes, anyhow. l think that the
salOonmen, taking them as a whole,
are glad, down in their hearts, to get
rid of the machines, because they
caused more trouble than they were
worth. Of course it would have been
difficult for any one man to break a.
way from the machines, The order
from the district attorney compelled
all to give them up and it was there
fore all right"
Another man said: "The slot ma
chimes are not such nuisanceS as
people would make you believe
There are very few nickles that go
into them. In fact the only men who
patrunize them regularly are travel
ling men and they mean no harm.
Men who are almost drunk will put
into them some of their nickleS, but
then it is better that they did that
than if they were spent more for drink.
But then | don't care; am going to
obey and think that the others will. "
Those who had hoped for grand
stand prosecutions, blazing bonfres Of
slot machines and other gambling de-
vices on every street corner, will be
disappointed. The saloonkeepers in
tend to obey the law.

TRAIN CUTS
OFF BOTH LEGS
Sad Accident of Chas. GiasSner,
OF Tomahawk, at
Wausau.
ATTEMPTED TO GET
ON THE MORNING TRAIN
Missed His Hold and Slipped
believed That He Cannot
Survive Injuries.


Chas. Glassner, OF Tomahawk, had
both of his legs cut OF by q ST. Paul
passenger train, in Wausau, yesterday
morning and is lying at the Emer-
gency Hospital.
Glassner came from MarShfield,
where he had worked at his trade as a
baker for four months. He had
waited some time for the train which
was two hours late. Before it came
in he went to nearby salOo and ran
from there to the platform just as the
train started to pull out, it moving
very slowly. In one hand he carried a
gun in case, and Wi tn this hand he
reached for the railing. He either
missed his hold Or his foot slipped, for
he was whirled and fell between the
cars. There is dispute as to how
many wheels passed over his legs, but
before the train could be stopped be
had dragged himself from the track.
He was taken to the Emergency
Hospital and it was found that the
left leg was entirely severed below the
knee and the knee joint was so badly
crushed that the limb had to be am
putated above the knee. The right
leg was cut off above the ankle and on
this the knee joint was saved. The
amputation were made by DrS. d. L.
Jones, III. L. Rosenberg and job

THAT $500 HORSE
QUESTION DISCUSSED

Mclaughlin Brothers, of Columbus,

pany'S French Coach stations, which
they have been trying to sell to syn

fine specimen. The company wants
$500 for the animal Grand Rapids
Tribune.
Says the Pittsville Pilot: "We
wonder if this is the same old scheme
to skin the unknowing CUES. $500
for horse. About $1,000 or more
more than you would need to pay if
you went to Columbus, Ohio, and
bought him. If it is one of these
''jOint note' Scheems it's one of the
biggest skin games out and anyone

IMPORTANT CHANGES In
FOOT BALL RULES

Now that the foot ball season is
about to open it is of interest to note
some Of the changes that have been
made in the rules since last season.
For some time there has been a
widespread public sentiment in favor
Of more open style of play, and it is
change in this regard in which the
rules differ mostly from the old. The
rules state that outside OF the twenty
five yard line of each team seven men
must be used in the rush line, while
within the said lines a team may use
it's old style of play.
Rule Is of the new code reads as fol-
lows: "When the ball is put in play
in Scrimmage at any point of the
central section of The field, that is,
the portion bounded by the two
twenty-five yard lines, and the two
side lines-Sectlon Bat least seven
players of the side having the ball
must be on the line of scrimmage,
Section C-The player who first
receives the ball, when the scrim-
mage is within the territory, may
carry it forward beyond the line of
scrimmage, provided ia SO doing he
crosses such line at least five yards
from the point where the snapper
back put the ball in play"
The last section also MARKS an inn
portant change, giving the quarter
back the right to carry the
ball as soon as he receives it from
the center rush, provided that he
runs to the side at least five yards
before advancing ACROSS the rnsh line
