ARE REBUILDING.

The Werheim Manufacturing Co.,
which suffered two destructive fire
losses during the month OF August,
has crew of men at work clearing
away the debris, tearing down the re-
mains of the old buildings, etc., prepar-
atory to rebuilding. This work has
been delayed for several reasons, chief
of which were awaiting settlement with
the insurance companies and deter
mining the size of the new buildings
and plans for the future. 1t is intended
to construct two buildings in place of
one. These will be 92x9S and 40x60
feet in size and two stories in height.
1t is thought that the new structures
will be completed about the middle Of
November so that the company can
begin running on its uncompleted
orders. The cost of construction will
foot up to somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000, exclusive of the cost of new
machinery which will be added. Most
of the old machinery can be used.
Some on the second floor, where the
fire was most severe is unfit for use and
some can be repaired. The buildings
will set a few feet further north, so as
to be closer to the side track.
crew of men has cleared up the
ground on which stood the dry shed
which was first burned Whether OF
not the shed will be rebuilt is not at
present determined fact. 1t may be
possible that if erected it was be placed
in some other locality.

ACTIVITY IN THE TOWN OF
HEWITT.

For the next few years there will be a
good deal of business going on in the
town of Hewitt, and especially will the
winter of 1905 6 be a very busy one.
Jacob Holzem, one of the progressive
farmers of that town, was in the city
Friday and made the Pilot office a
pleasant call. He says that the st.
Paul Ry. Co., is preparing to build
four miles of road down into the town,
for the purpose of drawing out the
timber, etc, which will be cut from
now on. During the past spring a
cyclone passed through the town and
blew down over a million feet of timber;
most of the down timber belongs to
Messrs. q. ID. Jones, H. b. Huntington,
Barker & Stewart and Heinemann
Bros, all of this city, and considerable
of it to the farmers in that neighborhood
Mr.. Holzem thinks there will be bust
ness for the road for the next ten years,
as the timber in that section of the
county is practically untouched.
Barker u Stewart have three camps
at present and are now erecting a
general store. Heinemann Bros. are
clearing up land, on which to build a
general store and a side track. Mr.
Holzem gives glowing accounts of the
large amount of timber throughout the

THREE JURORS CURED

Of Cholera Morbus with One Small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol-

Mr. G. w. Fowler Hightower, Ala,
relates an experience he had while
serving on petit jury in a murder case
at Edwardsville, county seat of Gle
borune county, Alabama. He says:
"While there | ate some fresh meat and
some sour meat and it gave me chol-
era morbus in very severe form.

to the drug store for a certain cholera
mixture, but the druggist sent me a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

that he had what l sent for, but that
this medicine was so much better he
would rather send it to me in the fix /

better In five minutes. The second
dose cured me entirely. Two fellow

WARFARE ENDED.

The Edward Hines Lumber Co. last
Thursday purchased the saw mill plant
and holdings of the Barker & Stewart
Lumber Co. at Ashland, and, it is said,
good price was paid for the same,
The sale will probably end bitter war
that has been going on between the two
companies for two years. Several law
suits have resulted and of late the COM
panies have furnished great deal of
amusement to the people of Ashland by
their fight on waterto gain possession
OF logs, thousands of people standing
on shore to witness the movements
Rafts of logs have been focibly taken,
boonS have been constructed across
the entrance of ponds to prevent logs
being brought in and then blown up
with dynamite by the other parties, all
tug boats in the bay have been employed
to pull logs and tear booms to pieces,
deputy sheriffs have been armed with
injunctions without number which they
found difficulty in serving, and "a great
many other spectacular plays have
been made. Finally the whole thing
was ended by an injuct On being served
on both companies, restraining them
from any further hostile moves. 1t was
during the lull of battle that agents of
the two companies got together and
fixed up the deal for the sale of the
mill. Both have been financial losers
by the warfare, for delays in business
operations have been occasioned and
the best of high priced legal talent en-
ployed. 1t is thought that number of
suits pending will be dismissed and an
amicable settlement made.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Prir. Parlin resumed his duties yester-
day, after a week of severe illness.

uuy, dltcI u WCek VI Stf6E6 lIiutSS.
Thursday afternoon we were treated
to an address by Rev. w. A. Quayle,
the former president of a college and
the present pastor of st. James M E.
church, Chicago. Rev. Quayle is a
noted writer, and lecturer on literary
subjects, and we were happy to have
an opportunity to listen to him.
Friday afternoon we were unusually
lucky in hearing two most interesting
addresses. Before classes passed Rev.
Scott of the Grand Ave. NJ f. church,
Milwaukee, spoke to us. He explained
how aspiration inspiration, and desper-
alton help to make manhood and
womanhood. After school, DIR. McFar-
land, of New York City, addressed u.s.
Placing himself in the position of a
student, he told us how he would do if
he were to start in life again.
At the foot ball game, Saturday,
neither Business college nor high
school scored. The high school out
classed the college team in every way,
but did not score on account of some
bad fumbles. Harvey Scholfeld is
certainly star at tackling, for he
never misses his man. Myles and
Okoneski also did some very good
tackling. Edgar Wilson seemed to
back the greatest gains of the game.
Kraatz is improving wonderfully in
punting, making several so and CD yard
punts. When time was called the
high school had the ball near the
college goal The line-ups were as
follows.

Historic III GU Sc S
Continued from Page 81

the Betsy Ross Memorial Association
(Which includes John Quincy Adams,
secretary'), every individual woman in
every patriotic society in the land, it is
safe to say, has contributed her dime to
the preservation fund. The word "dime"
means no more, for no person is per-
mitted to subscribe in excess of ten cents
for a certificate of membership; but so
widespread has been the wave of en-
thusiasm that nearly twenty-five thou
sand dollars is in the hands of the asso-
citation.
The Betsy Ross House, as it is called
is unusually picturesque, and season
after season has been the shrine for
many pilgrimage. The Daughters of
the Revolution, for example, once visited
it in body. Standing in the heart of
Philadelphia it has developed a metro
politan market price; but it is the same
quaint little home it was in the eighteenth
century days when the loyal Betsy Ross
piled her needle. As Congress approved
the "colors" on June "A, 1777-which
memorable Flag Day" many patriotic
societies of women annually observe
SO the nation, there is no doubt, will
gratefully receive the git OF It's birth
place, the far-famed Betsy Ross House,
when the association finally turns it over
to its care.
The Jumel House in New-York a pre-
tentious mansion of Revolutionary DAYS.
has been fought over by fair folk, in
court and out, with all the grim deter
mination of their Puritan fathers. Though
the movement for its preservation origin
ated with Sons of the American Revolt
ton and American Scenic and Historic
Society the ''Women's Auxiliary" of
the latter association showed a lively
interest in the enterprise. So did the
Daughters of the American Revolution
and the Colonial Danes. The outcome
OF the controversy was its acquisition by
the city of New York in 1903, when this
classic colonial house, beautifully set on
a sloping lawn, was formally opened as a
public park; though the city fathers are
pleased to permit its temporary occu-
pancy by all the interested patriotic
societies Of women.
The house, which was once the head
quarters of Washington, was built in
1888, the date carved on the entrance
reminding both of the time of its COM
pletion and the marriage of its first

owner, Roger Morris, to the charming
daughter of the wealthy Frederick
Philipse. The property was called Morris
House when the commander of the Con-
tinental Army occupied it in 1916,
though, as one dark page of history tells,
! it became temporary headquarters of the
British after the fall of Fort Washington.
But Washington was destined to reenter
the house in triumph later, and after
ward, when exalted to the presidency of
the United States, 1t pleased him to visit
it, for the sake of the stirring scenes of
the past, n company with his Cabinet.
In time the property drifted into the
hands of Stephen Jumel, a coffee planter
of San Domingo, and SO for nearly a
century it has borne the name of Jumel
Mansion, though it gives patriotic folk
an extra throb of delight to know that
prior to its ownership by New-York it
was occupied by General Ferdinand
Earle, descendant of the original builder
of the mansion. .
Finally, there is Yankee Doodle
House, one of the historic structures
saved by an individual woman, which
stands on the east bank of the Hudson
River, opposite Albany, presenting the
same imposing front as in the I64e
days, when built by Killian Van
Rensselaer,, the first PATRON" who
! carved this inscription on the cellar
wall: *. V. r. 1912 Ammo Domini'
The bronze tablet placed outside the
house by the city of Albany contains
this:
Supposed to be the oldest building in
the U. S. and to have been erected in
1642 as a manor-home and place of de-
Tense, known as Fort Crailo, General
Abercrombie' headquarters while march,
ing to attack Fort Ticonderoga in 1888,
when it is said that at the cantonment
east of the house. near the old well, the
army surgeon, R. Shuckberg, COM
posed the popular song of Yankee
Doodle"
As the story goes in detail this young
surgeon was greatly amused at the sight
of the raw American recruits struggling
in from the countryside One day,
when the queer garb of these country
pumpkins excited his derision as well as
his mirth, he seated himself by the we'll
to write the doggere1 about Yankee
Doodle Dandy" Cu1ious1y enough, in
I775, almost a quarter of a century later,
the despised Yankee Doodles" in the
Continental Army held cantonment back
of this same manor-house before going
on to the same Ticonderoga to whip the
British
This massive three-story house, still
pierced with portfolios in mute evidence
of days of defense, eventually drifted
into the patriotic hands of Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, Strong of New Brunswick,
New Jersey, descendant of the first
PATRON Van Rensselaer,. As it has with
stood the devastation of nearly three
centuries, she purposes, with money
collected largely by herself, to make it
permanent headquarters for patriotic
work probably under auspices of an asso--
citation representing various patriotic So
cieties, having in the meantime promised
two rooms to chapters of Daughters of
the American Revolution in Albany.
Aside from its age, the manor is most
interesting for its historic associations,
as such notables as George Washington,
Lafayette, Daniel Webster and Alexander
Hamilton often were aimed 11r5er

THE OBSERVING ROBIN.
How Does the Bird Know just

How Does the Bird Know just
Where to Bore For Grubss
I once observed robin boring for
grubs in country dooryard. 1t is
common enough sight to witness one
seize an angleworm and drag 1t from
its burrow in the turf, but l am not
sure that I ever before saw one drill
for grubs and bring the big white NOR
sci to the surface The robin l am
speaking Of had a nest Of young in a
maple near by, and she worked the
neighborhood very industriously for
food. She would run along over the
short grass after the manner of robins,
stopping every few feet, her form stiff
and erect Now and then she would
suddenly bend her head toward the
ground and bring eye or ear for mo-
ment to bear intently upon it. Then
she would spring to boring the turf
vigorously with her bill, changing her
attitude at each stroke, alert and
watchful, throwing up the grass roots
and little jets of SOIL stabbing deeper
and deeper, growing every moment
more and more excited, till finally fat
grub was seized and brought forth.
Time after time during several days
saw her mine for grubs in this way and
drag them forth. How did she know
where to drill? The insect was In every
case an inch below the surface. Did
she hear 1t gnawing the roots Of the
grasses or did she see a movement In
the turf beneath which the grub was at
work? I know not. only know that
she struck her game unerringly each
time. Only twice did I see her make
few thrusts and then desist, as IL
she had been for the moment deceived.
