being especially noticeable along the
ridge on the lake shore. The disturb
ance lasted several seconds and was
accompanied by dull rumbling noise.
It was not known that ap earthquake
shock was before experienced in the

action

ing and Negaunee and other points
along the Marquette iron range.

evidenced in other ways.
| People rushed into the streets fear
ing an earthquake, and much alarm
was occasiOned.
While TO definite cause has been as
certained, it is presumed that large
portion Of ground fell, in some abandon
ed mine workings under the city, which
caused an air blast
Reports from Houghton, fourteen
miles south, say that the shock was
very pronounced there.

ENLARGED GERARD.
The Addition Is Now in Course Of
Construction

E. NJ. Worden is having the addition
to the Gerard hotel built as rapidly as
the work can be rushed. The founda-
ton has been built this week and the
superstructure will follow at once.
This addition means an increase of
twenty-six rooms-more that doubling
the capacity Of the hotel. When com
pleted, it will be the largest hotel in
the city with location specially attrac-
tive to summering people.
This suggests again the advisability
of an effort to popularizing the city as
a place for summer outing. Lady
smith and vicinity have many attrac-
tions not found at other points and
plenty to make it popular outing
point.
Beside the pleasant features of an
agreeable sojourn, the fact could be adj
vertised that visitors will find condi-
tions materially advantageous to those
seeking opportunities for investment.

OFFICERS CONTRACTS
The Practice of Helping Selves Is
Jolted in Sheboygan County
and CitV,

That public officers cannot legally
participate in public patronage is 8
principle we'll established everywhere.
In the older settled parts Of the country
it is the practice to enforce the prlnci-
pie, but in the newer fields it has beer
a common practice to seek office as {
means of entering the public crib with
a view to carrying off as much as
possible Of public patronage. The fol
lowing article touches upon new order
of things to prevail in Sheboygan
county:
Sheboygan, Wis, July24. Mayor
Deickman is a stockholder in the
German bank and therefore cannot
sign a lease for the offices which
the city has occupied for years in
the building. The city, for the
same reason it is claimed, cannot
rent the Reich property, as it is
owned by the health commissioner.
Paul Reuther has resigned from the
library board because he cannot
write insurance on city property
while holding Office. Carl Zillier,
president Of the Democrat Printing
company, must resign from the
board Of supervisors or refuse to
accept county printing. w. c.
Boenitz another supervisor who is
in the insurance business, cannot
write insurance on county property
and must either lose the business or
resign. Supervisor Telenger, who
does harness work for the county,
must resign. Supervisor Jensen,
who sold provisions to the county
poor farm, cannot get his bills al
lowed. Ernest Lutz and Emil Nehr
Itch are also hit.
This is as it should be everywhere
and the News is advised that it shal
be so in Rusk county it the future
The free and easy practice of the past
is, we are told, to come to an end, anC
business principles applied to public
business.
The News is glad to feel that nolong
or are officers to help themselves TO tht
public patronage that is placed4in trus
in THEN hands.

wall
The Minneapolis board has entered a

INSURANCE WAS WRONG
It Located the School House il
Wrong Block.

When the agents who re-wrote the
insurance on the school house yesterday
came to compare their policies with
those supposed to have been in force at
the time, it was discovered that they
did not locate the building in the same
block. Upon investigation it developed
that the old policies located the build
ing in block 8, while, as a matter of
fact, it is located in block l. Thus
the policies would have had no value if
the building should have been destroy
ed.

FLAMBEAlj RESOURCES
Enormous Water Power Lies Hidden
in Rapids of Picturesque
Stream.

Milwaukee Journal: In the future
history of Wisconsin no river will occu-
py a more prominent position than the
beautiful and picturesque Flambeau.
Rising high up on the divide where the
historic Wisconsin finds its first exist
ence, the Flambeau departs to the
westward side of that vast hardwood
area of north central Wisconsin that in
future time is to be the pride of the
state-that immense area where pro-
ductiveness in grass and other stock
foods predicts that it is to be dairy dis
trict of the great northwest.
The valuable hardWoods which border
the Flambeau arc destined to have
their present value multiplied by tens
and hundreds by the handicraft of the
time in their conversion into furniture
and other valuable articles; and III this
transformation the Flambeau river is
to play an Important part. No fact is
more patent than that the continuous
possession of hydraulic power furnished
by the Flambeau river in its course
over the rapids of the great slope will
be utilized in the manufacture of the
hardwood forests Of the Flambeau val
ley. Men consulting the location as to
the nearness of desirable raw materials
on the one hand and stable markets on
the other, noting the steady flow of
water, the impervious banks ard solid
bottoms which insure stability, will
harness these powers, which approxi-
mate as follows:

that the markets lie at the front door,

d. H. Lake is the physician on the
division. The car will have four
permanent beds, side doors, fully
equipped operating room and all
other equipments that are necessary
in cars of this kind. 1t will be a
convenience of untold value. Here
tofore hours have been spent often
in trying to get the injured to a

How to Get Fat.

Absolute freedom from care and
enxiety. At least ten hours sleep out
Of every twenty-four In addition to
this maps during the day if possible.
This sleep must always be natural.
Nothing is so bad for the appearance
and general health as sleep induced by
anodynes or narcotics in any form.
The diet should be liberal and should
consist largely of food containing
starch and sugar; potatoes, fresh,
sweet butter, milk cream, fruits cook
ed and served with sugar, all vege-
tables containing starch and sugar,
such as corn, sweet potatoes, beans,
peas, foods Of the macaroni and
spaghetti kinds, fish and oysters, ice
creams, desserts without pastry; plen-
ty of outdoor life, and a moderate
amount OF exercise. Sleep in we'll
ventilated room. ! do not believe any
one can gain flesh If there is any in
ternal disease, certainly not if there is
any tendency to dyspepsia or liver
trouble. Where the patient is plump
in one part of the body and fails in
another a gymnastic course is advised.
There is nothing better than bicycling,
unless 1t may be regular gymnastic
course. In order to pursue the latter
properly the patient is advised to go
to first-class gymnasium, submit to
an examination and take the exercises
prescribed by the attendant physician.
These gymnasiums, at moderate
prices, may be found in a town of any
size in the country. Where the de-
velopmeht is meagre in the upper part
OF the body swimming is also an ex-
cellent exercise. Walking is always
wholesome. The patient who wishes
to gain flesh can never do so if she
worries, is harassed, or permits her
nerves to get the better of her.
