ress fred with shell, and instantly the
Panther, at 1900 yards range, answered
with twelve guns, followed by hundreds
of shots.
ut is reported also that the Panther
carried a red flag as the signal, but as
the fortress possessed no signal code and
could not interpret the red flag as a peace
symbol, white being the color Of par
liamentary flag, il regarded the action Of
the Panther as a premeditated aggres-
sion"
A foreign office representative in Der
lin said: "The Panther's action, the
official report shows. was strictly within
the limits Of international Law. She was
proceeding past the fort to enter the
lagoon Of Maracaibo In order to prevent
the importation Of contrabaud articles
from Colombia. and in doing so was fired
upon The Panther. Of course, answered
the FIRE, as she was entitled to DO. The
attack was not mode By us, but by the
Venezuelan fort. We are quite unable
TO see why anyueutral should express dis
approval because our vessels ieyeled the
fort to enforce the blockade.

Fire broke out in the department store
of Sell, Weaver & Sell at Sheboygan, in
fiicting a loss of about $4,000. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but was
probably due to cross or defective wiring
on the second floor in the cloak depart
ment. When discovered by DIR. Kruger,
who operated a dental parlor in the same
building, the flames had gained consid-
cradle Roadway and had enveloped al
most the entire floor. On the arrival of
the department. which had just returned
from another fire. it was found that the
water supply pipe TO the upper floor had
been melted by the heat and before the
water could be shut off the lower floor
had been flooded, water soaking almost
the entire stool, on that floor. After
working several hours the department got
the fire under control

A--~----------------s there Is MUCH NOlh-
plant regarding the slow movement of
freight. The situation rs to general lines
Is aggravated by the precedence given
fuel over all other freight except live
stock and perishable goods. Notwith-
standing the extensive increase in trans
porting facilities during the last year,
some roads have been compelled to de-
cline consignments, and in many eases
where a large number of cars were de-
sired only one was provided. Earnings
thus far available for January surpass
last years by per cent, 1t is conspicn-
GUS in practically every section of the
country that despite high prices, buying
Is Neral and of the better qualities OF
goods, while dealings as rule are ON
more of cash basis" The foregoing is
from the Weekly Trade Review of X. u,
Dun & Co. 1t continues:
Demand for building materials is M
usually brisk for the season. and pr Is
or lumber at the South have advanced.
Although TO 'unate sections are receiving
better supply Of fuel, the situation is
still serious, and many pig iron furnaces
have been added to the idle list. As pro
ducers have sold their capacity for some
time there is little new business and no
effort on the part of sellers to secure con-
tracts. Hence prices of pig iron are
steady and new transactions light.
New England producers of boots and
shoes are actively engaged on reasonable
lines, and there is enough business on
hand to keep most plants in operation for
two months at least. New business
comes forward rather slowly. and there
are few supplementary orders for spring
lines.
As to cotton goods, the situation grows
steadily stronger. demands for immediate
needs preventing accumulation of sup
plies and leaving an increasing number Of
orders untitled. A few open advances in
quotations are recorded. while a quiet
curtailment of discounts is reported in
progress.

Accused Man Proven Not Guilty.

The Gillett case, on trial in Circuit
Court at Manitowoc, was brought to a
sudden end h. the request of the States
Attorney that the action be dismissed and
the prisoner discharged. The motion was
based upol a conviction that the prison
er was innocent, the defense having met
the States case with testimony that over
came the proof presented. The prosecu-
ton was made OH purely circumstantial
evidence, much of which did not appear
at the preliminary hearing. GilIett was
charged with burglarizing a store. Peter
Stelbel, arrested in connection with the
same crime, will get his freedom also.

brief remarks in which he expressed his
appreciation of the compliment paid
him by the association in re-electing
him president after a lapse OF three or
four years. He also spoke OF the i'm
portance Of our POSITIONS as teachers and
pointed out our opportunity for selflm-
provement, il we earnestly prepare the
duties assigned US on our association
programs. He closed his remarks with
a cordial invitation to all present to at
tend the meeting at Lamar, which is to
be held January 23rd, 1903.
The papers and discussions were very
interesting and helpful, showing that
time and thought had been spent upon
them. The interest of the program was
greatly increased by the music,-a vocal
solo by Mrs. Vidal, of Holly, and trio
consisting of Mrs. Vidal and the Misses
Millepger and Novels.
After the rendering of the program, a
cordial invitation to supper at the Grand
Central Hotel, was extended to the
teachers by Principal s. G. Barker, on
behalf Of the citizens OF Holly. This
courtesy was deeply appreciated, and
the supper greatly enjoyed by all.
A very pleasant evening was spent at
an informal reception and social held,
in the Presbyterian church.
