Address Made a Hit.

The address by F. A. Hsaly, Auditor of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and the Western Railway of Alabama. deiiv- cred before the Southeastern Claim Con- ference in Atlanta December on "The Best Method of Handling Claims Paid by Agents to Expedite Settlement and Re. iieve Suspense Account created 50 much favorable comment at the time that 1t has been printed in pamphlet form and sent to a number of railway officials who were not fortunate enough to be present when 1t was delivered. Mir. Heaiy is one of the best posted authorities on the subject of claims in the country and his com ments have been received with a great deal of interest by those who are more or less in touch with the general question. His suggestions regarding forms for, claims are regarded as admirable solu- tions of some of the troubles that oft times beset the agents.

THE TANGEN TREE.
A Growth Of Madagascar Regarded by
the Natives With Horror.

One of the most deadly trees in
the world is to be found in NADIA
gascar, where it is known as the
tangen tree. Its scientific name is
Tanguinia venenifera, the latter
word signifying poisonous.
BY the natives it is regarded with
a sort Of horror and for excellent
reasons. For centuries it was the
custom to use the fruit Of the tan
gen for the purpose of ascertaining
whether criminals charged with
grave offenses were guilty or not.
In each case the prisoner was
brought into court, and the Judge
thereupon solemnly handed him
fruit from g tangen tree and told
him that if he ate it and it did him
no harm he would be considered in
nocent, but that if it killed him he
would be considered guilty. AS
there is great deal of poison in the
fruit, it can readily be seen that
very few, if indeed any, were able to
pass through this ordeal unscathed.
It is said that some criminals
who had great political influence or
considerable wealth managed to es-
cape through the connivance of the
judges; but, on the other hand, the
criminal records tell of many cases
in which prisoners died horrible
death very soon after they had eat
en- the noxious fruit.
More civilized methods of adiudi-
cation now prevail in Madagascar;
but, though this barbarous custom
is obsolete, the tangen tree is re-
garded with almost as much aver
sion as it ever was. A proof"of this
may be found in the fact that
French naturalist recently tried to
obtain some branches and fruit of
the trees; but, though he asked sew
eral natives to aid him in the search,
he was unable to obtain the slight
est assistance from any of them

A BAYFIELD, County Farmer.

George w. Barnes was here from
his place in the vicinity OF Eau
Claire Lakes, town of Iron River,
Saturday, looking after matters OF
business. Mr.. Barns has recently
had a post office established at his
place, and it goes under the name OF
Anita, having been named after his
young daughter The Barnes place
has reputation far and wide as one
of the finest places in the country TO
90 to as a headquarters for fishing,
hunting, and all kinds ofsport. But
the principal business of Mr.. barnes
is that of farming, and while mere
the other day he Informed HE
TIMES that his farm netted him
over a thousand dollars this year.
81 Quit work for the Rust-Owen
Lumber Company seventeen years
ago" said Mr.. Barnes, land at tnat
time Mr.. Frank Drummond told me
that I would be back to him looking
for a JOB inside OF six months. But
I did nothing of the kind. Instead
entered a homestead, and today l
have over 100 acres cleared, free
from stumps, and all into crops dur
;n0 the past season. I had 1900
bushels of oats. 760 bushels OF po-
tatoes, 70 bushels of rye, and other
crops and vegetables. marketed
1866 worth of hogs this summer,
and have At head of cattle, 16 horses
and lot of hogs, poultry. etc. .
Mr.. Barnes SAY he is never troubled
with crop failures, and he has no
hesitancy in saying that Bayfield,
county is equal to any region Tor
farming. He said in speaking o.
his exp rience in leaving Mr.. Drum
mond years ago: AT that time Mr..
Drumlnond did not have much con-
fdence in the agricultural resources
of the county, but tell you he has
changed his mind of late years, and
is now opening up one of the biggest
farms lii northern Wisconsin In the
vicinity of Cable. Mr.. Drummond
is an enthusiast over farming, and
he and I always compare notes when
we meet-Frank Drummond is a
prince of good fellows, and it is not
going to be long before he has reg
ular plantation in the town of Drum
mond; when he gets through !um-
bering in his town he will be so
heavily engaged in farming that ne
will have no rest from conducting
heavy business. The writer re-
Gently visited the Barnes farm, and
found that it was supplied with
everything from grub hoe to
frst-class threshing machine, self
binder, and all kinds of modern
machinery for farming. G. @. Will
Jams, recently postmaster of Iron
River, and Chairman E. Sauve, of
Iron River, are also farmers 10 the
same vicinity, and have nice places,
but it is very questionable whether
there is more extensive farm, or a
more successful farmer in Bayfield,
county than Mr.. Barnes.

Additional Local News.

The dance to be given on the
evening of the 18th inst. by the
Catholic Knights will undoubtedly
be planned on a some what extensive
scale. A large number of visitors
from Ashland are expected, and the
dance will be given at the Opera
House and supper will be served at
the Masonic Hall.
The Bowling League is in full
swing, and number of games have
been played. 1t is the intention to
play series of fifty six games, which
will bring each team together twice.
Half of the games are to be played
at the Arnold alleys and half at the
Wolf alley. The Perlman cup, fifty
dollars in cash prizes and a BOBBY
prise are up for the contestan is.
Mrs. Paul Weed left yesterday for
Cataline Island, which is off the
California coast. She met Mr.. Weed
in Chicago, and the two expect to
spend the winter at the great resort.
Mr.. Weed is still great sufferer
physically, although his eyesight has
materially improved during the past
past few weeks. Mrs. Weed has
visited with her parents here for
several weeks.
Louis Lavoy, who has~been con-
nected with the experimental farm
of the state of Michigan has his
family here and they are living on
one of the "Bigelow lots" near town.
Mr.. Lavoy will engage in the fruit
raising business. He is somewhat
of an authority upon fruit raising,
and is confident that he will be able
to make success of that industry
here.
The Northern Pacific. railroad
company discontinued one sof their
passenger trains between this city
and Iron River Monday. Thereafter
the train will arrive daily from Iron
River at 1890 p. m. and leave for
the same place at 3:00Tp. M, con-
Meeting with its main line trains at
that point. This will be verysin-
convenient for people who have been
accustomed to leave here on one of
tie trains for Iron River and after
transacting their business.sbeen en-
abled to return home promptly.
The Hines Lumber company will
tear down the Murray lmiil at Ash
land and take it to West Superior,
where it will be rebuilt on sthe site
of the Scofeld mill, which burned
several months ago. And at West
Superior the large tracts Of Douglas
county tin. Der belonging to this
company is to be sawed. There was
a hope thrown out by the company
that this timber might come to
Washburn, but the latest action of
the company has caused this hope
to go a-glimmering.
The annual meeting of the county
board will be held in this city next
Tuesday, at which time the appro-
priations and levies will be made for
the coming year. People who have
had claims for many months against
the county will foundry hope
though likely in vain: that their bills
will be acted upon without being re-
ferred to committee to take a
month to look them over, as is Gus
tomary at the annual meeting.
Justices and constables bills can un-
doubtedly be properly referred to
but the idea of standing
people off indefin itelv who have fur
nished supplies is mistake which
this years board should not repeat.
