nation of the millionaire Hanna
in politics, and when he won his
way to the United States Senate
there was a strong spirit OF
opposition throughout the coun-
try to his elevation, which was
attributed principally to the
power of his wealth and the
friendship of President McKin-
ley. But the American people
came to know Hanna. and they
learned to love him, as he was
one of the grandest of present
day statesmen. Hanna grew in
the hearts Of his countrymen
through the genuine acts OF
patriotic citizenship and benevol-
ence which characterizes few
men who possessed his natural
advantages. He aimed to bring
capital and labor closer together,
and within the past few weeks
announced that his whole life
would be devoted,to that purpose.
He was a wise, prudent and
patriotic states man, and his
death removes one of the great
est characters in national politics
and craftsmanship. Had he
lived he would very likely have
been chosen four years hence by
the republican party as its
nominee for the presidency.

effect that Charles Lewiston had
been re-appointed United States
marshal for the western district
of Wisconsin. Mr.. Lewiston has
been a frequent visitor here since
he first became marshal, and on
one occasion undoubtedly played
the part of rery good friend
to Bayfield, county. The whole
story of the Battle Axe affair and
the visit of Receiver Frost at the
time he was accompanied by Mr..
Lewiston has never been pub
lished, but it has been known to
a few people for a long time.
Frost sent a crew of men out on
the line to tear up the rails and
they We're promptly arrested by
the state authorities acting un-
der direction Of District Attor-
ney Mcleod who had secured
an order from Circuit Judge
Parish. Frost promptly applied
to the federal court for the
assistance of the United States
Marshall to aid him in tearing up
the road, and post haste the two
started from Madison to Wash
burn. They met the morning of
their arrivalin Ashland and with
O. flourish of trumpets, only such
as could be imagined by those
who know Frostand his methods.
the latter informed the Marshal
that he was going to Washburn
for the purpose of tearing up the
road "But," suggested Mr..
Lewiston, "supposing the authoi-
ties over there stop you, what
them" Frost went right into
the air; Suppose they stop me
what do you mean,'' yelled Frost.
"You are sent by the United
States Court to protect me in
whatever I intend to do, and as
an officer you will have to send
for soldiers if it is necessary to
tear up that road" Mr.. Lewis
ton is reported to'have smiled
very broad smile, and in sub
stance this is about what he
answered Frost: 81 am United
States marshall. Mr.. Frost, and
you are receiver of the railroad.
How far l am going to protect
you will be a matter for my own
Judgment. Now let US under
stand one another. You may go
to Washburn and carry on your
business in a peaceful, quiet anu
dlgnifed manner and perhaps
come out all right. But in case
the local authorities decide to
arrest you then I will be compel
ed to turn you over to them.
Their charge may be tru mped
up affair, and they may accuse
you of any sort Of crime. In
any such event I will surrender
you to the local authorities. But
remem Der the people of Bayfield,
county have their rights, and
remem Der too that | am not 60
ing to use my official position to
deprive them of those natural
rights If you will accept my
advice you will counsel with the
local authorities and see if a
peaceable settlement cannot be
arranged. If it is only trouble
you are looking for | am afraid
you will find me of little service
to you" Frostswore and kicked,
but finally took Mr.. Lewiston's
advice, and the latter arranged a
council in which a plan Was de-
xised, the result of which the
day passed off quietly and the.
Northern Pacific bought the
road and are now operating it,
much to the advantage Of Bay
field county. Why should not
people here be pleased that Mr..
Lewiston has been re-appolnted?

This Is the Record.

During the past three months a great
many people residing in Waterbury
and vicinity have been benefited and
cured by the Radio.Cncmic physicians.
Many cured patients testify daily TO
the merits of their treatments and
remedies. Their grand success is GER
tain and the permunency OF their Local
ton here is assured. Many reports
have been circulated which were in
tended to shake the confidence Of the
public in the N-Ray doctors. In spite
of the opposition of certain people who
are ignorant of the methods of the
Radio-Chemic physicians they have
made q wonderful record for curing
difficult and distressing diseases. TO
correct the many conflicting stories
circulated the following figures are
submitted. They indicate II wonderful
amount Of good done in /, surprisingly
short time. In three months 6,S55
people have been given an N-Ray eX-
animation by the Radio-Chemlc physi-
clans; 4,973 have been treated for
some serious complaint; 421 have been
refused treatment as incurable: 2,353
have been cured and there are at pres
ent 2.199 patients under treatment.
The N-Ray doctors point with pride 10
their grand record of people cured by
their magnetic treatments and potent
vegetable remedies. Waterbury peo-
pie and those coming from distance
obtain from these eminent specialists

us from more serious reaction. AS it
is the west continues fairly prosper
