Ray Carthew's PAGER, Frank
Mason, met with a mishap at the
Mineral Point races Wednesday.
He was started in the 235 pace with
his driver Ed Johnson holding the
reins. There were seven other
horses in the race and Ray S horse
drew trailing place back of the
one holding the pole. On the first
turn in the initial heat johnson in
an endeavor to get past the pole
horse collided with the other fell
low and both sulkies were broken
and the horses stopped. The balance
of the bunch finished in good time
and the judges declared the two
animals distanced that were in the
collision. Thus they could not
start in the next heat. Frank will
be started in the same class at
Darlington next Wednesday.

STREETER IN THE TOLLS.
In Game in North Lancaster He
Secures Five Straight Fowls.

Sherm Streeter was arrested by
Sheriff Glenn and Under Sheriff
Calls Thursday on charge of chicken
stealing. The complaining witness
was Mrs. Anna Bohn, residing on
the Breithaupt farm in North Lam
caster.
Mrs Bohn was aroused at about
midnight by commotion among
her chickens. She took a gun and
accompanied by her young son went
to the scene of the cackling. In
passing the barn enroute to the
chicken house she encountered man
in the shadow and he commenced
questioning her in regard to road to
Platteville, to Fennimore, and final
ly ended up by requesting lodging
for the night. Mrs. Bohn refused
this privilege and the fellow struck
out down the road. Evidently all this
parleying was to give his accom-
,plice an opportunity of getting away
with the game, for in the morning
Mrs BONN discovered her fine
turkey gobbler and hep turkey, also
several chickens missing from the
flock.
There were feathers scattered
along down the path leading to the
road and she followed them up.
Down the road a quarter of a mile
she found the turkey hen which
had made it's escape. Farther on
were the heads Of the balance of
the stolen birds Keeping the trail
it took her to Abe Levins home on
the waterworks road and feathers
led clear to the house, but Levins'
family could make no explanation
as to how they got there.
Mrs. Bohn came TO Lancaster and
wanted Justice Shi1nmin to issue a
warrant for arrest Of Levins. The
justice deemed it expedient how
ever to investigate little first,
and accordingly Sheriff Glenn and
Under Sheriff Calls went out to
look the ground over. They even
found Levins' hat near the chicken
house, but Abe continued to assert
his innocence.
Sherm Streeter lives hard by and
knowing his previous reputation
along this line the officers went
over and made him call. Sherm
and his wife said they had lad no
fresh meat in the house for ten
days, but when Sheriff Glenn in
quired of one of the children if they
had chicken for breakfast the little
tad answered yes.
A search of the premises revealed
feathers buried and we'll picked
bones and more feathers were
found in the cook stove. The feath-
ers correspondent in shade with
those along the road and the evil
dence against Streeter was so
strong that he was taken in custody
and brought to Lancaster.
A hearing was set for next Mon
day before Justice Shimmin and
bail was fixed at $500. Being un-
able to secure it Streeter was placed
in the county Jail.
Sherm is an old offender and APP
parently likes the board at the
county Jail where he has passed a
greater portion of his residence in
Lancaster.
Stealing chickens is a peniten-
tra1y offense and the law prescribes
from two to five years.
The officers are wondering who
Streeter's accomplice was in the
deal.

LIVINGSTON.

The Livingston Field Day this
year was as usual grand succes s
despite the fact that at the last
moment the Clinton ball team
f1unked, and failed to come. This
was in no way any fault of the
management and they spared no
expense or effort in trying to keep
this aggregation to their word At
the last moment Cuba City was
substituted, but the game was far
too one sided to be interesting, II
to 1, favor of Galena. Linden easily
won from Lancaster, the game
creating the most excitement was
in the Mineral Point-Highland
game. Highland won the game,
but for while it was a toss up as to
which team would win out. There
were over 5000 people on the
grounds and accommodations were
provided for all.
Twenty-Five tickets were sold to
Devils Lake Wednesday. Most of
them intended to spend the day in
Madison.

unlooked-for hitch in the work, only
a short while would be REQUIRED for

Foreign Cotton Production.

One is led to believe from reports
received at the State Department
from all parts of the civilized world,
writes the WASHINGTON correspondent
of The Progressive Farmer, that
America is looked upon as the
strongest and best cotton centre of
the universe. British manufacturers
are alarmed lest there NAV be de-
crease in the output of this com
modify in the States, for the effort
at cotton growing in their own do
mains has not met with perfect sue
cess by any means. Then there is a
strong call for American cotton in
Finland, where there are more fac
tories for manufacturing fabrics
than raw cotton to supply them.
Even in Australia, said to be the
finest cotton growing country in the
world, and where the plant may be
cultivated the whole year through,
a tourist recently returning from
there reports an exceedingly small
acreage. On the last triD of the
Minnesota to the Orient, 10000 bales
of cotton were carried to japan.
This fact gives indication of Japan's
progress in the manufacture of cot
ton fabrics and iustifes the predic-
ton, so often heard. that Japan is
likely to become the most active rival
of the United States in competing
for the cotton trade in the Orient.

Outbreaks of violence in Russia
during the first six months of this
year were so numerous and so wide
spread that. in a country where
means of. communication and of or
ganization were better established,
they would seem to foreshadow a
revolution. From "Black Sunday" in
ST. Petersburg in January to "Black
Friday" at Lodz in June. there were
strikes, riots, assassinations and
massacres at nearly thirty different
places in European Russia. They
occurred at St. Petersburg and
Kronstadt in the north; at Revel on
the Gulf of Finland: at Riga and
Libau on the Baltic; at Mitau, Koono
and Wilma, inland; at Warsaw, Kali
isz. LODI, Radon and Czestvenowa,
in Russian Poland; at Brest-Litovsk
in West Russia: at Zhitomeer and
Kiev in Little Russia; at Kishenef,
in Bessarabia: at Odessa and Yalta
on the Black Sea; at Ekaterinoslav
in South Russia: and at Moscow,
Voznesensk and Saratov in the inte-
rior They included general strikes
of workmen. rising of peasants. in
surrectionary demonstrations led by
social democrats, and mutinies

There is already talk of "a bill OF

HOW NIECE WON CARNEGIE.
Got the Ironmaster on Her Side by
Spunl<y Talk.

Interesting stories are being circu-
lated here today concerning the love
match between Miss Nancy t. Carne-
gle, niece of Andrew Carnegie, and her
former riding master and coachman.
James Hever.
1t appears that friends from Allie
ghany met Mr.. and Mrs. Hever in Eu-
rope about two months ago, and learn
ed that they had been married for
nearly a year. This led to the story
that Miss Carnegie had run away with
Hever eing cabled to this country.
1t is said here that it was not with
the consent of the Carnegie family
but in spikte of them, that HeVer made
her his bride. One story has it that
relative of the girl went to Rover,
told him that the CarnegieS wanted
nothing to do with him, paid SER
want, and that he must leave Miss Car
negie alone on pain of being horse
whipped-and got soundly thrashed
for his pains. Everybody knows now
that Hever did get out.
A tale of how Andrew Carnegie him
self was treated by Miss Nancy when
he went to expostulate with her also
is told by the relatives of the Carne-
gies here. She had taken a liking to
ride 'cross seat" or astride, in divided
skirts. and she would not listen to the
pleadings of her family. saying that
James ndQ told ner Indl JnlS was the
only proper and healthful way to ride
and that she would stick to it.
Her uncle was appealed to as one
who had influence with the girl, and
he, it is related. sent for her to come
and see him. She returned word that
she was too busy and that if he want
ed to see her he must call at the rid
ing academy. He went, and those who
went with him say he was astounded
when he saw his little niece riding like
the wind-and aStride.
He urged her to give up that form
of riding. and also to give up Hever,
only to be told that she would do as
she liked, and did not propose to be
dictated to.
Mr.. Carnegie, the story goes. went
home highly delighted, and sent word
to the family of Miss Nancy that he
considered the girl had a whole lot of
sense, and should not be interfered
with. This closed that incident.
