Right t. Expel Local Lodge.

in the United States Circuit Court yesterday
an answer to the suit brought by Harry B.
Pnney and other representatives of Just in
Time Lodge. No. l49, of this city for the
maintenance of thu rights and privileges Of
the lodge in the national organization.
The litigation grows out Of the action Of
the local lodge in joining in the Interborough
strike without consent of the officers of the
national organization. 1t is set up in the
answer that just in Time Lodge forfeited
its standing by violating the regulations of
the general body in striking without au-
statement is qualified by the assurance that
those members of just in Time Lodge who
did not join in the strike will retain their
membership in the national organization
but will be transferred to other lodges.

Total. .1S, 16

Much of this land is worthless. 1t is
neither timbered or fit for cultivation.
Particularly is this so in Adams county,
where the $50 acres accredited to that
county subject to homestead entry is
nothing more than sand dones, which
will raise nothing-not even a poor
crop of Canada thistles. According 10
the report of the general land Office at
Washington for the year ending June
30, 1904, there was still available for
homestead entry in the state of Wiscon-
sin 1873 acres. The report demon.
strates that homestead lands that are
worth anythiD~ are fast being taken up
in this state and that some years hence
a government land Office will be thing
of the past in Wisconsin. The choicest
lands in this section of course were
"gobbled up" years ago by dishonest
lumbermen and their stool pigeons,
and much of the present day wealth of
the former who are still living, was
made off government lands. Hundreds
of forties were cut over by these mer-
cenaries of an early day and not one
cent paid to the government. AS tim
ber got scarcer forties that were sneered
at in an early day became valuable and
were either purchased or homesteaded
so that now Wisconsin's part of the pub
lie domain is very small The opening
of the water reserve lands to settlement
about fifteen years ago took thousands
of acres out of the market in this state.
According to the last report the total
area appropriated in this state was
1854, TAO acres, of which Marathon
county was credited with over l, 200, 900
acres and is first in rank In the state
of Wisconsin 432, ,224 acres are Indian
reserves and of that amount 241 ,020
acres are in this district. Of the three
land office districts in the state the
Wausau Office Includes the most terri
tory, 43 counties. The Eau Claire dis
trict comprises SO counties and the
Ashland district seven.

A CLOSE CALL.

n. w. Parry, grand secretary, of the
grand lodge, Wisconsin jurisdiction, ,.ot
the Masonic fraternity, while riding in
an automobile with friends, the other
day, in thunder storm, was nearly
killed by lightning. The Milwaukee
Sentinel, in describing it, says
"They had just passed the Blue
Mound Country clubhouse and were
travelling down hill at fast rate of speed
toward Elm grove when the rain and
electrical storm began.
Not needing the heavy downpour, the
party kept on at fast clip. AS the ma
chine neared the foot of the hill vivid
flash of lightning, directly in front of
the machine, struck a telephone pole
not eight feet distant, splitting it from
top to bottom and sending splinters in
all directions. One of the arms came
toppling down and a heavily charged
wire fell dangling from its supports.
1.-The occupants of the automobile
were stunned by the flash and sat rigid
in their seats while the machine sped
along, Mr.. Moss for time being unable
to control his muscles and bring the
auto to a stop. When he had sufficient
ly recovered he reversed the machinery,
and, ascertaining that his companions,
like himself, had escaped with the fright,
he returned to the point where the
lightning had struck the pole
IA spiral had been burned from top to
bottom and the immediate vicinity
was covered with splinters. The grass
around the pole was burned, although
it had been previously wet by the heavy
rain
1.-The party resumed its journey, max
ing the remaining thirty miles witho ut
mishap. The three returned to Milwau-
kee yesterday morning"

WILL BE A HOT GAME.

A game of base ball has been arranged
between the court house gang" and the
city officials, including the police force.
The former will be coached by Judge
Henry Miller, while the latter will be
captained by Chief Malone. AS favor
itism might be manifested if city man
is chosen, the umpire will be selected
from one of the retired bankers of Cad
7. 0. The mayor of Hatley will be
appointed water boy and the king of
Pike Lake (who is also school treasurer
of his town. will be the official scorer.
The place selected for the contest is
Warren park; time, Saturday Aug 18th,
i. e., the game will begin on the 18th,
but the day on which it will end, provid-
ing it is played to finish, is as uncer-
tain as old Hicks weather predictions.
The prize will be the gate receipts, but
it does not matter who wins, for the
funds will be turned over to board of
arbitration, which will determine what
disposition to make of the money. The
exhorbitant sum of 10c will be charged
for admission to the grounds, but the
captains of the opposing teams an
nounce that the public will get full

WANTED TO DIE.

| What appears to have been a case of
attempted suicide developed Wednes-
day, when DIR. d. T. Jones was called
to the home Of Herman Helm, 937 S.
Second Ave. Mrs. Helm, it appears,
had swallowed a quantity of carbolic
administered, no serious results are
anticipated From the testimony of
Helm, his wife, his wife's grandmother,
with whom they live, and the neigh
bors, it seems there was loud time
at the Helm home that morning, and
hot words passed back and forth thick.
ly and with rapidity between the hus-
band and the women. The wife claims
the husband struck her grandmother
and herself. She also AYERS that he
came home intoxicated He admits
slapping the old lady but denies that
he struck his wife. He says his wife is
addicted to the drink habit, often get
ting intoxicated, and runs bills in
saloons without his knowledge, which
he afterwards is forced to pay. He also
states some other things which do not
reflect credit on his wife's moral char
acter, and says that the quarrel of
Wednesday started after he had made
the discovery that man, whom he
formerly considered neighbor, was
being harbored in his house during his
absence
After the quarrel, he left home and
then his wife took the acid. Helm was
later arrested and locked up and was
given a hearing Thursday morning, be-
ing charged with disorderly conduct,
and his examination was set for Tues
day, Aug 1st
The police state that when Helm was
arrested he was not intoxicated, nor is
he given to intoxication. He works
steadily, provides we'll for the home
and is paying his mother-in-law so
monthly on the place with the view of
eventually owning it. He is well
spoken of by those intimately ac-
quainted with him.

SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Philbrick went
to Milwaukee early in the week to at
tend the funeral of the latters father,
Solomon G.. Enos. Mr.. Enos was IS
years of age at the time of death and
| the oldest member of f. B. WolcOtt
Post, q. A. r., of that city, He was
quite we'll known here at an early day,
when in 1857 he, in company with j. w.
Chubbuck, father of Chas Chubbuck,
the dentist, edited the Central Wiscon-
sin. He visited his daughter here a
number of times since In 1910 he
owned the Advertiser, the first news
paper published in Milwaukee. He be-
gan the printers trade when a boy, his
first work being on the Democratic
Standard at Watertown, N. Y, and
later conducted a printing business at
Sackett's Harbor, in the same state.
He voted for 16 presidential candidates
up to 1902 but since then blindness,
which came on the latter years of his
| life, kept him at home. He served
honorablY throughout the civil war and
led his regiment at the grand review
in Washington May "a, 1865.
Evidences of what appears to have
been q graft worked in taking the
government census of 1900 are shown
up all over the state. In some cities
the present state census shows a
decrease, in comparison with the figures
of five years ago, and in great many
other towns the increase has been
so small as to raise the sus
picion that something is wrong
The city of Lacrosse has had
quite substantial growth in the
past five years, yet the state census
shows otherwise and the business men
of that city have raised fund to have
the census taken over again. In one
ward in the city of Milwaukee in an
outlying manufacturing district the
state enumerator found less than half
the people reported by the government
enumerator five years ago, and yet il
| W W1o ouppOoCt IhtbO llC NtId was SIOW-
ing right along The enumerators are
paid a stipulated sum for each name
Can it be that those who took the
government census padded their
reports to swell their checks, or have
the state enumerators been lax in
doing their work?
The trees on the court house lawn
were sprayed Saturday with an emul-
sion of kerosene and water to prevent
the eottony scale from attacking them
The work was done by the city's
''spra-yers" (don't.look in the dictionery
for this word. for its one of our own
invention) who have been engaged to
make the rounds of the city, according
to the resolution passed week ago by
the council. Two men were engaged
and hose attached to a force pump
which in turn is connected with a tank
full of the emulsion was used. The
whole outfit. except the men, is on
wheels. In this way great many trees

|. A. PRADT.

The Washington Post, in speaking of
the lawyers of ability who are now
serving the government, says of l.. A..
Pardt, of this city:
"A very important feature of the
official duties of the Department of
Justice is the defense of cases in the
Court of Claims. Most of the time
since Mckinley became president that
task has been chiefly assigned to Assis-
tant Attorney Gen. l.. A. Pradt, of
Wausau, Wis. There are thousands of
those claims, of various kinds, and the
government keeps something like fifteen
lawyers at work, under Mr.. Pradt's
direction, in one of the brick buildings
on jackson place, looking after its in
terests and seeing that claimants are
paid no more than their due according
to the law. But even that large force
of legal talent does not attend to all the
governments cases before that tri-
bunal where the volume of business is
probably larger than in any other court
at the national capital. The Indian
depreciation claims receive attention in
another bureau, where more lawyers
are kept busy year in and year out.
Mr.. Pradt has had much to do with
cases settling the rights of Indians to
large sums of money in the United
States treasury, growing out of the
sale of lands; also with cases growing
out of differances between the govern
ment and the builders of battleships
and with cases arising under the navy
personnel act of March 3.
Mr.. Pradt has spent most of his life
in Wisconsin. He received his legal
education at the State university, and
built up a good general practice at
Wausau, before he entered government
employ. He has borne o hand in state
politics, and is known throughout Wis
consin as a warm friend of Senator
Spooner and of the faction whereof
Senator Spooner is the recognized
leader. He has been friend of Gov
and Senator-elect LaFollette, but the
latters political polices have not met
with Mr.. Pradts approval. He held,
years ago, the offices of city attorney
and of county attorney of Wausau and
Marathon county. He is a lawyer of
fine ability. He is man of wide read
ing and is terse and able in his presen-
tation of case in court. He has
travelled extensively. He is very clear
as thinker and is an entertaining con-
versationaliSt.
LAS a successful business man Mr.
Pradt is wellknOwn in Wisconsin
Several years ago he became a partner
in the Wausau Law and Land associa-
ton, which has dealt extensively in
lumber and in realty in the northern
part of the state "

it into a cyclone. Three or four times
