SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

The Monday Evening Cinch club
meets next with Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Genrich.
A number of the factories were closed
down several days last week on account
of the cold weather.
DR.. Turbin, the eminent German
specialist and surgeon, will be at the
Bells House, February 14th.
Fred Levenhagen, Jr., broke an arm
near the elbow joint last evening while
engaged in play on the floor of the Y.
M. c. A gymnasium.
The insurance adjustors to adjust the
losses in the Littlejohn- Esch Furniture
Co. and John Kiefer fire, are in the
city today figuring with the local agen-
cies and all parties concerned.
An eight pound baby boy was born
unto MIR. and Mrs Frederick O. Croker
on Monday. Fred wears 2x4 smile
and whenever an allusion is made to
the event it enlarges to about 4xS, and
he then hands out Ike cigar.
While train load of logs was being
switched into the yards of the Jacob
Mortenson Lumber Co. Saturday, one
of the ST. Paul yard men, A. Drown,
had very narrow escape from taking
a cold bath and perhaps being killed,
He was standing on top of loaded
car which had been run onto the dump
platform. This platform swings to one
side, and throws the logs into the
pond. The pin holding it in place
dropped out, tipping the car and dump
ing the logs. Mr.. Drown jumped just
in time to save himself.
The assessors of the town of Weston
aud of the newly organized village of
Schofield are having their troubles in
collecting taxes and their difficulties
will no doubt be brought into court and
Strengthened out. After the town APP
portionment had. been made at an ear
her date, the village officers petitioned
the county board committee on equal
ization to be granted the right to collect
their own taxes, which was granted.
The village assessor made a separate
tax roll of village property, correspond
ing with the roll of the town treasurer,
aud at the proper time began the col
lection of taxes. The town treasurer
also began collecting taxes in the vii
lage and the result has been a muddle.
Each believes he is acting within the
bounds OF the law and therefore the
court viii have to decide the mater.

One Year of War.

Wednesday next, the 9Th of February,
will be the first anniversary of the open
ing of the war between Japan and Rus
STA.
There are those who believe that his
torians will look back to the outbreak of
the pending hostilities as marking the
beginning of a new era Certainly ia
pan has more than made good in the
first year of the war the predictions of
those who were most enthusiastic in her
praise and most anxious that she should
win. She has lost nearly as many men
as Russia SO far during the war. But
the seriousness of the Russian situation
is more than the disparity between the
respective lists of killed and wounded
would imply. Russia has lost her Pa
cific navy, and has sustained serious
damage to her military prestige in the
Orient, to say nothing of the enormous
pecuniary damage she has suffered by
reason of the war, and to say nothing
of the crisis in her domestic affairs in
which the war has been an important
factor.
tt value of the Russian ships sunk
by the japanese is roughly estimated at
800, 900, 900, and the value of the Port
Arthur Notifications, partly destroyed,
and partly captured intact by the Japa-
neso, four times that sum. The Japa-
nese have gained the advantage over
the Russians in the battle of Lao Yang,
one of the most notable engagements
in the military history of the world.
they have reduced Port Arthur. They
have repulsed their sdversaries in the
midwiuter encounter on the banks of
the Hun.
They have a vast advantage over the
Russians in the nearness of Japan to
the seat of war. The Siberian railway,
taxed to its utmost, cannot transport
to Manchuria from European Russia
more than 1000 men a day. Japan can
throw into Manchuria in two weeks

could move to the front in two-thirds
of a year. And while Russia is torn
with internal dissention, her people

Ine continuance of the war, the Japa-
nese are fired with patriotic enthusiasm,

fees which loyalty to the Mikado and

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss VanKluck and Miss Ringle did
substitute work in the Franklin school
last week.
On account of the severe weather the
students have been unable to take the
sleigh ride which they have been antici-
pating for some time.
Nearly all of the students heard the
interesting aud instructive talk given
by DR.. Sparry at the Baptist church last
night.
The school subscribed for some new
magazines to add to the number already
upon the reading table.
Miss Armilda Rifieman, '04, attended
the Literary Society on Friday and
spoke Interestingly and helpfully of her
work in the country and of her many
visits at the schools of other gradu-
ates.
Mr.. Franzen, '0S, gave a short talk on
the same day upon the necessity of be-
ing systematic in all things in life.
Mr.. Erwin Marchetti, '02, gave us an
interesting address over a week ago up
on the subject of Freedom and Liberty.
If other young men and women would
take little pains to prepare short
talk the effort would be mutually bene-
fetal. The subject for debate is usually
published the evening before, thus
giving an opportunity for some prepare
ton.
Miss Mable Miller is doing substitute
work for Miss Tresidder during the ILL.,

Fatal Good Fortune.


There is story told of miner TO
whom sudden coed fortune brought Is
sudden death. he was a man who
touched ill luck at the start and could
not get away from it. Not a grain of
gold could he find in his own claim:
bis capital was exhausted; he could
not even obtain a livelihood as a la
borer for others. In the depths of de-
spair he went to the owners of a mine
long worked out and begged permission
to go down the shaft. 1t was granted.
He went down, and 200 feet from the
surface he drove in his pick and dis
lodged something. He came up with
1t and asked that his find might be ex-
amined and weighed. That was done.
'Is 1t all miner he asked. 1t was.
they told him. Its not the govern
ments" No, it was not the govern
ment's. "Nor anybody else's?' No,
nor anybody else's. 1T all belongs
entirely and solely to me?" 1t did.
The nameless wanderer had found one
of the biggest nuggets unearthed 1t
weighed 1876 pounds of pure gold They
turned to congratulate him, to find
that joy had killed him. The story is
said to be true.

SENATOR Whitehead and other stall
warts are figuring to bring about ces-
sation of hostilities, between the differ
ent factions of the republican party
Senator j. M. Whitehead, who is on
the committee on capital and grounds,
gave expression to the following last
Friday:
''The building of a new state
house for Wisconsin is a work which
ought to appeal to the state pride of
every citizen of Wisconsin. 1t is a
magnificent opportunity for this legis-
lature to plan for monumental struc-
ture which will be an inspiration to the
state for years to come.
Viewed in this light it may be the
cause of cementing the factional differ
ences which have existed during the
past few years and bringing all the
people together in frame OF mind
which will testify to their loyalty for
the great state of Wisconsin"

An amusing Incident occurred not
long ago in a certain police court Two
men were summoned for being drunk.
Rising to speak on their behalf, their
solicitor said: my clients can prove
dat they were sober. Upon being told
by the police that they would be sum-
moned they at once went of to be ex-
amined by a doctor, and / mold in my
hand letter from him which, with
your worship's permission, will now
read to the court"
Instantly the solicitor on the other
side sprang to his feet and protested
against the admission of such a letter
as evidence. The objection was held
to be a good one; but, the evidence
against the men being deemed INSULT
cient in other respects, the case was
dismissed. Had the letter been admit
ted they would undoubtedly have been
convicted, for their legal representa-
tive had simply "bluffed" the court
Tie letter from the doctor ran as fol-
lows: THE two defendants came to
me, and 1 regret to say that 1 found
that they were both very drunk

Acts were passed in the reigns of

law further enacted that not only
should any tgiior who committed a
