LOOK OUT FOR THtM.

A set of grafters have been visiting
the neighboring counties inducing tn
farmers to list their lands for sale, says
the Ladysmith Journal The contracts
which the farmers sign so read that
the sharks are to receive 50 an acre
for trying to sell the land. The con
tract is so worded as to appear all
right, but on a close reading of the
same it is evident that the farmers
agree to pay the SO an acre to the agent
for simply trying TO sell the land
whether they succeed or not. Be on
the look ont for these sharpers and do
not allow them to rope you in. Here
is another case where it is demonstrate
ed that it is wise to deal with home
dealers. They have reputation at
stake and will treat you honorably.
Never sign paper for stranger be-
fore you have had time 10 study it
thoroughly.

SURVIVOR WHO HAS COME TO
APPEAR HERE.
Actress Who Was in the Chicago Theatre Fire Gives Her
Account-Thinks All Might Have Escaped Alive Had 1t
Been For Panc-Great Audience Became Cdazed With
Fear and Used No Sort of Reason

Miss Isabella Lvesson, leading lady of
in the Palace of the King" company,
which is to be at the Grand Opera
House Thursday evening, was one OF
those in attendance at the performance
of "Bluebeard' at the fated Iroquois
theatre in Chicago and who es-
capped without being marred for life by
the crazed audience at the cry of fire. !"
She had been resting for several days
in Chicago after an attack of la grippe
and her part was played for week
during run of one night stands, by
her understudy with the company
That fatal afternoon she went to the
performance of "Bluebeard" because a
brotherinlaw and sister of Manager c
King" were with the company that was
holding the boards at the time of the
most deadly fire in the history of the
theaters of this country
Miss Evesson's description of the fire
will, at this time, be of interest to the
readers OF the Pilot. 1t was published
in the Detroit, Mich, Post. and is as
follows:
1T was so awful that / could not
sleep wink last night and | could see
wildeyed, terror-stricken people all the
time When the fire broke out the
audience at first thought it was part Of
The play aud paid no attention to it.
The first they became alarmed was
when nervous woman in the back
part of the theater shouted 'Firer
Then tor the first time the realization
seemed to come that something was
wrong and mad rush was made for
the exits, while children screamed, wo-
men moaned and even strong men
screamed in terror. | was as scared
perhaps as anyone in the crowd, but
made up my mind that the best thing
to do was to sit still, and did. Ia less
time than it takes to tell it there were
dozens lying on the floor, many were
women fainting from terror. but most
of them were women and children
knocked down and trampled on in a
mad endeavor to reach the exits. In
less than three minutes from the fire
call the main exit was wedged with
human bodies so that those caught in
the rush could not move either In or
out and were crushed by the force Of
those pushing and wildly striking be-
hind them. Several of the side exits
seemed to be forgotten and were prac-

RESOLUTION VETOED.

Charles Burke, president of the coun-
Gil, on Thursday, filed with the city
clerk veto of the resolution recently
adopted by the council authorizing him
self and the city clerk to enter into
contract with H. H. johnson and the
Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Co. for the
of bridge across the Wis
consin river connecting the First and
Seventh wards He takes the position
that while some correspondence has
passed between the board of public
works and the railroad company for a
right of way over the latter's tracks, as
yet nothing definite has been accom-
plished If the city were to go on and
make the contracts it might eventually
find itself in bad position, were the
railroad company inclined to be obsti-
nate in the matter of granting the con-
cession asked. 1t might finally be nee
essary to resort to condemnation pre-
ceedings which would take time to
settle. 1t is hardly likely that the rail
way company will refuse to grant
the right of way yet it might-there
have been bigger surprises. Mr.. Burke
is heartily in favor of the bridge, but
believes on being on the safe side.
Should the concessions asked be grant
ed within reasonable time, it will be
an easy matter for Mr.. Burke to recall
his veto, and let the contracts be en-
tered into.

MISS LOU C0SGRIFf NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH.

Miss Lou Cosgriff, of Chippewa Falls,
who is very well known in Wausau,
having graduated from our Business
college, and having visited with her
relatives on numerous occasions, and
w o is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Richard Cosgriff, formerly residents of
Wausau, came near losing her life one
day last week by gas explosion. Miss
Cosgritf is stenogropher for the Chippe-
wa Farm Land company whose offices
are in the Seymour bank block She
opened up the offices, as usual, on the
morning of the accident One of the
Chippewa Falls papers gives the details
of the accident as follows
"When Miss Cosgriff entered the Of
flee this morning she detected strong
odor of gas, and after looking about
carefully to ascertain the condition OF
gas jets, and finding them all turned off
there, she turned to the vault Upon
opening the vault door she was forced
to retreat owing to the sitting odor
OF gas, and swinging open all doors to
allow its escape, she left the Office
believed the vault and rooms had been
sufficiently freed of the gas fum, she
returned.
Without considering the danger of
such action she entered the vault and
struck match preparatory to lighting
The jet. No sooner had the match been
lighted than the explosion occur red, the
gas fumes, still dangerously strong,
lgniting in every nook aud corner
The explosion 10 the three office rooms
aud the vault was Simultaneous, and
The shock Was terrific, crashing glass
aud throwing books aud papers of the
rooms into general disorder
The door leading TO the M ain entrance
from the hallway, which IS of heavy oak
aud hung on hinges Of corresponding
strength, was thrown from its place
several feet out into the hall, torn from
The hinges as though it were but a bit
of paper carried by gust of wind
Miss Cosgritf' s escape was miracul-
pus one, and but for the fact that at the
time of the explosion she WAS near a
rear wall of the vault horrible death
might have been hers As the ga
fumes ignited and brought on the ex-
plosion she was hurled against the wall
and to the floor, and the many large
and heavy books, with which the
shelves were strewn, crashed, down up
IN the floor, many of them falling up
On her. Again, remarkable was her es-
cape from being Injured to the point of
rendering her unconscious Her es-
cape from such state, however, spared
more serious results, and with great
presence Of mind she proceeded 10 eX-
tiuguiSh the fire which had started up
on her person. A small blaze had also
started on the woodwork in the vault,
md Miss Cosgriff FASTENED to the street
and gave the alarm. Her suffering
from the burns received had by this
ime become painful, and she was taken
to the drug store of Reister & Dettloff
where physicians ministered TO her
burns. She was most seriously burned
about the right check and her nose, but
not necessarily distigured. A burn
such as she received, from gas, is un-
known in effects for some hours after
the infliction, and at this time it is inn
possible to state whether or not the
mark of the burns will remain"

tically clear at the very time when
dozens were being crushed but few
feet away. When think of it it seems
like dream
Il seemed to be spellbound and could
not moe several times when my inn
pulse was to do so. Then came the
rush OF flames as the fire spread and
the asbestos curtain refused to work.
The heat aroused me and | arose to
make a rush for the side entrance
which | knew led out in the alley way.
AS | was seen to go toward the COM
partiyely obscure exit, dozens of 9th
ers made dash for me, and the next
thing knew / was in the center of a
jam, crushed so that | could not
breathe and guess / swooned. When
| came to | was lying in the alley,
my clothes torn almost from my body
and men were around me with blan
ket which they wrapped around me and
carried me into the Auditorium hotel.
Il saw enough to convince me that
there was plenty of time for all to have
gotten out safely before the flames did
any damage had they not been panic
stricken. The theater had more exits
by far than theater usually has, and
under ordinary circumstances could be
cleared in five minutes with all the
exits ready as they were.
II believe fully hundred people We're
trampled on before my eyes, when
those that trampled on them did not
gain anything by their madness, but it
seemed that the terror of the situation
drove them mad and they did not know
what they were doing.
i was bruised somewhat, but not to
speak of, and soon changed my tattered
garments for whole clothes and re-
turned in time to see bodies piled up
like cord wood and see hundreds that
were pleasure seekers along with me
but a few minutes before, mangled and
bruised in many cases beyond recogni-
ton and as they were carried out it
seemed to be | recognized many that
had been but few feet from me when
the fire started

so we can control our nerves and /

victims. Afterward it was decided to
hold the funeral in La Crosse, the in
terment taking place Monday after
noon Mr. Winslow was found in the
great pile of bodies near the balcony
door The upper part of his body was
badly burned except for the front of his
face, which would lead TO the belief
that he covered his eyes, nose and
mouth with his hands in vain effort
to keep out the smoke and hot flame.
His mustache was only slightly singed
