LadySmith is o. K.

Ladysmith, June II. The re-
port from this city in Minnea-
polls paper to the effect that the
failure of the First National bank
of this city, is to cause stagna-
ton of business and prevent
further influx of settlers, is the
rankest of nonsense and an APP
parent. attempt to do an injury
to this city.
The fact is that Ladysmith S
future was never brighter than
at the present time. Land buy
ers of means are now in the coun-
try from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
and Minnesota, in parties. Local
ly, the Menasha paper mill is be-
ing doubled in capacity and will
be operated with this increased
output by Aug. l. Two other
new industries are starting.
The mills are running heavier
forces than ever before. Every
hotel and boarding house is
crowded to Overlooking. New
settlers are coming in every day.
There is not an empty dwelling
in the city. The whole country
is participating in the industrial
growth. Such in the briefest
expression, is the condition
prevailing in the city, that has
grown steadily from 1O8 people
in 1900 to nearly 1000 now, and
is growing more rapidly now
than at any time in the past.

GLIMPSEs OF RoTHsCHILD.
His Fortune Was Heavy Burden to
Baron Aiph0nse, French Banker.

His Fortune WAS Heavy Burden to
Baron Aiphonse, Ercncii Banker.
The late Baron Alphonse de Roths-
child of Paris, head Of the French
branch of the famous banking house
and governor Of the Bank of France,
was a man of great culture as we'll as
worthy representative Of his family
as fnancier, says the New York
Times. He was also interested in
sports, particularly racing.
There have been two attacks upon
the French Rothschilds. The first was
in 1913, when the father OF BARON AL
phonse, being besieged by peasant So
cialists, received them and offered to
give his visitors what was due should
he divide his fortune among the peo-
pie. He calculated that they should re-
ceive francs each. The peasants left
the old baron in peace.
The second attack was upon Baron
AlphOnse. It took a more cowardly
form. In September, 1895, Il letter was
sent to him containing an explosive
that would go off when the letter was
opened. The baron was at the seaside,
and the letter was opened by a clerk, a
Polish Jew, M. Jodkowitz. He was
thrown down by the detonation, but not
seriously injured. Curiously enough,
M. JodkowitZ was at the time in charge
of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild's
charitable disbursements, which bene-
flied the deserving Of all faiths.
Notwithstanding all his wealth and
influence, Baron Alphonse was an I'M
happy man. He found pleasure in his
family life, in art and in music, but the
care of his great fortune was heavy
burden. A visitor once found the bank
er in such moody fit that he asked il
he were i'll.
81 am not i'll; I am crazy" was the
reply.
II will never believe that you are
crazy until l see you throwing your
money out of the window" said the
visitor
"Ah!' said the baron, exhibiting a
threatening letter. II am crazy be-
cause DO not throw my money out Of
the window"
The baron had one strong supersti-
ton which he could not overcome, and
that was that the number Is was I'M
lucky. When he was married he chose
as his residence the hotel in the Rue
st. George, in Paris, which had been
the property Of NJ. PescatOre. The res
idence bore the number 13. When
the baron saw the number he refused
to enter the house until it was removed.
When letters came addressed with the
old number he refused to open them,
and he offered $4,000 francs to the mu-
nicipality, to be distributed among the
poor, if the number were changed. The
offer was accepted, and I'll bis" was
substituted.
The baron lost an eye in 1893 while
on a hunting expedition through the
carelessness of one of his guests. Be-
ing a strikingly handsome man, he felt
the Disagreement keenly and said he
would rather have had the top of his
head blown off.

The Banner of Japan.

Mid western isles where summer smilef
There dwells little man
Who makes his bow to nations now
The soldier Of Japan.
He has been fair, he did forbear
AS only heroes can,
Yet those who seek to rob the weak
Must walk wide Of Japan.
The seas are wide, you are not tied;
Come beat US If you can.
You face a flag Of fight, not brag-
The banner of Japan.
Read we'll the stars: know nothing mars
Heavens way that you can scan,
For they have groans and sun bleache1
bones
Who come to fight Japan.
The Russians came: they bear the blame
Along with sore defeat;
One wartime word is ell they've heard
The order for retreatl
Those who escape with nangled shape
All cripples to q MANI
Must view with fear for many . year
The sun flag Of Japan.

SILVIS HOTEL NOW READY
Employees of Rock Island Road Will Be
Given Best of Service.

The big new hotel at Silvis is TO be
opened tomorrow. 1t will be under the
management of the dining car service
OF the Rock Island road. The opening
of the hotel will be great convenien ce
TO railway men. and it is believed that
large numbers of them will take advan-
tage of it. With the transfer of the
yards from Natick to Silvis. it has been
inconvenient of late for many of the
men 10 patrOniZe the Railroad Y. NJ. c.
A at Natick. Much of the patronage
of this institution will no doubt be
shifted to the new hotel. Strange TO
relate, the month of November was one
of the heaviest in point of business in
the history of Natick Y. NJ. c. A, not
withstanding it was during this month
thar the change to Silvis was begun.
What the future of this Railroad Y.

There was talk for a time of removing
the building TO Silvis, but it is under

VERY QUEER WAY
TO Assert the MayoraI Dignity
Was the Slot Machine
Caper
ON THE PART OF McCASKRIN
Enforcement of the Law Only for the
Purpose of Revenge the
Latest.

The latest astonishing caper on the
part of Mayor McCaskrin in at least
making a show of closing down on the
SLOT machines during the day, on the
score of revenge toward The Argus,
was the source of much discussion
about town last evening. What the
|over-heated much-excited head of the
city could possibly expect to accom-
plish by this was perplexing ques-
ton. The confession that he had re-
served TO himself the exercise of the
enforcement of law only in cases where
he felt aggrieved at someone. no mat
ter who. awakened just about as much
sympathy as il did contempt. The gen
eral impression was that the mayor
had again made a most humiliating
spectacle of himself. and that his
course had been hardly less amazing
than in the burglary of the gambling
house case.
Really Sensitive for One SO Bold.
On the other hand, the mayors pc
culiar sensitiveness under criticism
and rebuke was generally regarded as
remarkable in one who had taken such
liberties with others who had happened
TO disagree with him. On the stump
in all of his campaigns vituperation
and vile personal abuse has been his
chief weapon, while since his election
TO the Office of mayor the blackguard-
ism in which he has INDUCED on all
occasions of members of the common
council has caused little less than feel
ings of shame on the part of many peo-
pie.
No One IL Worried.
The Argus would under no circum-
stances be moved or annoyed by a
bawling out in consequence of some
offense that had been taken for pub
fishing the news
1t perhaps cares less than it might;
ordinarily. in the instance of the clap
trap of the mayor worked so into a pas
sion that he is both silly and childish.
