Wisconsin Cut Was Short Millions Of
Feet - Active in CAM la.
Ashland, Wis, Oct. 6.-Oni. s825 ,0O0,-
900 feet Of lumber was shipped from
the port of Ashland in September. This
was a falling off of 15,o00,o0o feet from
last year. There has been a general
the entire season due to the closing of
two of the Ashland mills on account
Of log shortage.
The Stearns Lumber Company, OF
Odanah, is preparing to begin it's Win
ter logging as soon as cold weather
sets in, and has already hired a crew
Of men and teams to begin building new
camps. All Of the company's logs will
be cut on the Bad River reservation,
and most Of them will be hauled to it's
mill at Odanah to be sawed. Thomas
Echlin, Ed Mercer and Morrison
Brothers have charge of the logging
crews.
A. F. Dudgeon of Spokane Wash,
a member Of the firm of Wilson & Dud-
geon, lumber shippers, of Ashland, was
in Ashland on business several days
this week, and says that the western
timber market is quiet, but that the
Canadian side is much livelier than the
American. The market in either place
is not IS brisk, however, as last year.
Mr.. Dudgeon is looking after the in
terests of Wilson & Dudgeon in the
west. They have three sawmills in

FAST TRAIN CRASHES INTO IT
Three Killed and Others Injured -
Accident Occurred at South End
Jerome Avenue in New York City
Car Contained Nine People and Fell
on New York Central Tracks.

New York, Oct. 7.---Driven at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour, Il
three-seated touring car, containing
nine persons, four men and five wonl-
Ell. dashed over an embankment at the
southern end OF Jerome avenue, early
today, landing on the tracks of the
New York Central railroad. just 1T
that moment a train, running fast, to
make up time, rounded a curve, ana
struck the automobile. Three persons
were killed, two instantly; two were
seriously injured. The other four, al
though badly bruised and shaken. were
able to go to their homes.
The dead are:
Allen Noyes, chauffeur.
An unidentified woman.
Della Perez.
The party was returning to Riverside
Casino from trip to Mount Vernon.
The chauffeur had attempted turning
from Jerome avenue into the approach
to the McComb's dam bridge to cross
to Manhattan. Whether he knew of
the short extension on Jerome avenue
beyond 161st street or not will never
be known. The corner is brilliantly
lighted, but the extension leading to
the edge of the embankment above
the central tracks is paved with brick
and the car tracks run down to the
picket fence at the edge.
Several persons saw the automobile
rushing down and shouted warning,
but 1t was too late. With no apparent
stacking of speed of the car it crashed
thru the fence, cleared the dirt em-
bankment and then made the drop of
twenty five feet to the railroad track.
ns,its descent the car half turned and
several of the occupants were spilled
out, some were thrown to the track,
and others falling to the side of the
rails. Just what happened in the few
seconds that preceded the crash OF the
local train the survivors are unable
to relate, they were stunned and bleed
ing and We're trying to recover them
selves when they heard the roar of the
train and then the frightful crash.

will supply deficiencies, and see to it
that the schedules are complete. The
council met today for the express pur-
pose of attending to the details of the
census compilation, and the work will
be fairly inaugurated at this meet
ing. Members of the council were
gratified to learn that already provi-
sion has been made for thorough CEN
sus of the manufacturing interests of
the state by the national labor bureau
In cooperation with the state bureau.
The Iowa law appeared to be defective
in this regard. 1t is now found that
the national bureau Of labor has pre-
pared for an enumeration of manufac-
lures In Iowa beginning January 1,
that will be the most complete ever
undertaken. A force of field agents will
be started out sufficient to
complete the work in less than two
months, and these will be under the
direction of F.. d. Brigham, state labor
commissioner, who was authorized by
the legislature to cooperate with the
national bureau. Seven counties will
have special agents reporting direct to
the department at Washington. These
are Polk, Woodbury., Scott, Dubuque,
Blackhawk, Linn, and Clinton. The
schedules for this census are now be-
ing prepared, and all material facts
regarding manufactures in Iowa will
be secured. This will also include
creameries, and dairying and special
schedules will be made for that work.
1t is expected that there will also be
some special provision for securing in
formation regarding banking in this
state. The state law provides that the
council shall procure this information
from the banking department. but the
state banking department can furnish
information only as to the state and
savings banks. The national banks re-
port to the comptroller of the currency
and the private banks and bankers run
wild. There will also be special pro-
vision for all industrial pursuits to corr
respond to the more extensive informa-
tion to be secured relating to agricul-
ture.

Dental electors, Governor Bates and

ception Of treasurer, were nominated
by acclamation. Attorney General
Moody was the permanent chairman.
A. D. Chaplin was nominated for

Moody opened his address with an
eloquent tribute to the late Postmaster
General Payne. His speech was a long
review Of the republican administration

as the beginning of an epoch that is not
yet ended. He predicted victory in the

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS SPLIT.
Radicals Will Hold Convention and
Join With PopuIists.

Chicago, Oct democratic cam
paign managers have become seriously
alarmed over the attempt Of the popu-
lists and the anti-Parker democrats to
split the democratic vote in the state.
Two independent movements have been
set on foot to take votes away from
Parker and the democratic state ticket
and the democratic managers are be-
ginning to realize the extent of the de-
fection among the Hearst and Bryan

Little has been done by them to pre-
vent the direction from spreading and
