GREEN GOODS MEN
OPERATING Through the Mails Rather
Extensively.
MANY LETTERS ARE RECEIVED
The Old Game ofCounterfeit Money Men is
Being Tried on Washbupn People
Letters Should be Handed Back
to the Post Office

A number of our citizens have
been receiving letters the past week
or Two from the manufacturers of
green goods. The same old
dodge is being worked telling the
man who gets the letter to send a
telegram to a certain place, and then
to wait until an appointment can be
made to meet the counterfeit money
man. The writer of the letters
trusts to the 'honor' of the person
receiving the letter to keep the
matter quiet, and promising all
sorts of wealth for a few hundred
dollars investment. Some Of these
letters have been returned to the
post Office and sent to the post Office
department by the postmaster.
Every person receiving such letter
should hand it TO his postmaster in
order to aid the department in chas-
ing down these rascais. This old
game has been worked for many
yeare and no one ever heard of any
advantage coming to the person
who hat anything to do with these
sharpers. They are not only en-
gagged In a business which is liable
to land anyone having dealings with
them in prison, but they never
carry out what they claim, and it is
the duty OF every person who can
furnish the authorities any aid to do
so.

Will Appeal Their Case

Arrangements have been made
o appeal to the supre me court
the case of the town of Barnes,
which was set off by the county
board last spring, and which
action on the part of the boar
was declared illegal by Circuit
Judge Parish. The people of the
town OF Barnes feel that they are
in every way entitled to have a
town OF their own, and propose
to have the supreme court pass
upon all the points involved.
Some Iron Riverites have been
playing the "d6g in the manger"
act, and consequently the new
town was not allowed to go into
existence the same as all other
towns did that were set off in a
similar manner. The people
from Barnes believe that they
can win the case in the supreme
court.

Mrs. La Bpash Dead

Mrs. Peter LaBrash, who has
been very poorly for the past year,
and whose condition has been critic
al for the past five weeks, died at
her home in this city Monday, from
consumption. She leaves husband
and three children, besides many
relatives. She was a daughter OF
Mrs. John Starr, and has spent most
of her life in Washburn. The funer-
al will be held this morning at ten
o'clock from the Catholic church.
The deceased had great many
warm friends in Washburn, and the
husband and family will receive the
sympathy of the entire city in the
sad loss they have sustained.

Pushing the New Railroad

Bayheld Press: An informal
meeting was held yesterday at the.
bayfield, Transfer office in which
President T. J. Stevenson and Sec.
rotary H. c. Hale of the Bayfield,
Lake Shore & Western road were
present with number of the prom
lnent land owners and business men
OF the city. The meeting was
merely casual one and the repre.
sentatlon numbered about fifteen
throughout the session. All those
present were very enthusiastic over
the plans laid before them by the
president of the new road and
pledged their hearty support to the
finish. VIM. Knight and Col. Isaac
Il. Wing talked at length on the
future possibilities of the lake shore
country and it was the unanimous
decision OF all that the prospects for
development were today brighter
than ever before in our history.
Mr.. Knight quoted the professor of
the Wisconsin university, saying
that this section was the greatest
in the whole northwest as grazing
center. Mr.. Stevenson gave those
present to understand that Cornu.
copla was to be cor meet, d by rail
road with the outside world and it
was merely question for the people
of this city to decide whether we
should give our support or lie down
and let the new road commence it's
development from Cornucopia and ON
to the head of the lakes. 1t was
really small matter for considera-
tion and the result was pledged
effort on the part of those present
for support, The proposition as
asked for by the company was that
the people of this city favor them
with small tax, amounting to a
fraction of mill, it being of little
consequence considering the large
amount of gain that squirting it on

heartily in favor of this enterprise
and it behooves all who have Bay

gresham Jenkins Here. Council
in Charge of Entertaining

w o0 oSo"O1lSIIeu ny IIl0 govern
ment on the Great Lakes. The
matter was taken up by the
council a couple of weeks ago,
and referred to a committee,
headed by President M, NJ.
Sweet. The committee have al
lowed no grass to grow under
their feet, and have been in COM
munication with the members of
the commission, with United
States Senators and with Con-
gressmen. The commissioners
have responded and they will be
here this Thursday morning.
Congressman Jenkins will be
with them, The commission
is composed of Captain Will
ina II. Reeder, of the United
States Navy; Honorable Henry
M. Waite. of Lexington, Ken
lucky; and Honorable William
M. Bradley, of Portland, Maine.
The commissioners will arrive in
their private car, and the party
will be made up here in Wash
burn and under the direction of
the council committee will be
shown the shore line between
here and Bayfield,, and if desired
will go farther out into the lake.
A steamer has been engaged for
the occasion, and every effort is
to be made to impress the com
missionels with the advantages
of this particular locality. Bay
and Ashland have been interview.
ed and will send some of their
prominent citizens to help land
the big school on the bay. A
quarter of a million dollars has
been placed at the disposal of
the mission to locate the big
school, which will be the greatest
of the kind in the country. A
big fight has been made to have
the school located between
Chicago and Milwaukee on Lake
Michigan. and it is hoped that to
decide all this controversy the
commission may be induced to
decide upon Chequamegon bay
as an even better location.
The ffty-seventh congress
authorized the secretary of the
navy to appoint the commission
to select site for a naval train
ing station on the Great Lakes,
and Admiral Taylor was chair
man of the commission. That
commission recommended that
the station be located on the low
er part of Lake Michigan and
gave preference to Lake Bluff,
Illinois, with second preference
to Racine, Wisconsin. The
house committee on naval affairs
incorporated a paragraph ap-
propriating $25o,o0O to purchase
the site selected at Lake Bluff,
but the Wisconsin delegation
fought it and it went out on a
point of order.
Senator Hopkins secured the
adoption Of the same paragraph
asan amendment to the bill by
the senate but The house refused
to concur and after a long con-
ference agreed to compromise
by which the president should
name a new commission, none of
whom should be from the states
bordering on the Great Lakes.
There will be big fight made
for the station at Put.in-Bay,
| Lake Erie, by the Ohio people,
while the New York people will
seek to have it located on Lake
Ontario, the Wisconsin people
renewing the Racine proposition,
while Washburn and other points
willask for consideration. Mich
igan people also name their side
of Lake Michigan.

ENIERTAINM ENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

Sydney Ayres, the young romantic
actor, has made his debut as q, star I'M
der exceptionally favorable circum-
stances, as the new play, A Texas
Ranger written for him by J. Mau1din
Feigl, has scored a great success. Play
and star will be seen tonight, and
Saturday matinee and evening at the
Hyperion theater. So long as the pub
lie love deeds of daring and heroic
characters depicted on the stage, 50
long will plays like IA Texas Ranger
draw crowded houses. The plot of this
play is Of melodramatic strength, but
the skill with which the individual
character drawing has been made, is
sufficient to lift the play out of the class
of the conventional thriller The
range Of characters introduced by the
playwright, is broad, and these have
been trusted to competent hands for
their delineation behind the footligfts
The production is elaborate in every
way, and the staging has been done
