The following story is told Of the

used to occasionally bring q cargo
to PortsmOut, n. H. When ship

custom Of the master to require

piled was somewhat annoyed be-
cause he was put to the trouble Of
getting q reference, says the Boston

A few days later he noticed an
Englishman was taken on, just as
the ship was on the point of sail
ing, without being asked for a ref
erence. The next day the English
man was given a bucket and broom
and told to wash down the decks.
The sea was rough, and soon q big

man, bucket and broom, which

alone, who made no comment un-
til the captain came on deck, when

|Clairvoyant Tells Of Anderson
Describes His Wandengs and Says that He Is Alive Stunning
Contact with Other People Because of the
Unbalanced State of Mind.

AS announced last week the search
for Peter Anderson was given up af-
ter two weeks of most diligent effort
by large portion of the male pop
ulation. However, the family and
sympathizing friends felt that per-
haps something further might be done.
In compliance with the wishes Of
those who felt that results might fol-
low, 0. C. Sabin went to Minneapolis
and consulted with a clairvoyant. TAX
ing a map of the county the clairvoy-
ant went through the usual procedure
and then with pencil traced the course
of the lost mans wanderings. Start
ing eastward the lines were traced in
an irregular course for some distance,
then turned south and westward,
thence north around his home, describ-
ing circle of about four miles diam
eter and by course reaching section
25 in the town of Grant From that
point the tracings went southwark in

PUTTING DOWN RAILS
Railway Progress Better During the
Nice Weather Of Recent
Weeks.

The Owen & Northern railway is
making rapid headway now that the
weather has become settled. Grading
is going ahead with all possible speed.
Men are being added to the forces
st work as fast as they can be Sc
cured, and the big cities are being can
vassed for help. It is predicted that
with good weather the line will be in
running order before winter sets in.
The laying Of rails has already been
begun at the lower end Of the line
and large crews are pushing grading
so as to permit rail laying from the
Ladysfiith end: There are several
railway crossings where this work can
easily be done.
It is probable that the desire of
Rusk county people will be satisfied
in the completion Of the line this
fall.

Northern right of way. At this point
it is a singular fact that the direction
given by the clairvoyant was exactly
that Of the O. & N. right of way
which did not appear on the map
used. The medium further traced the
route of the wanderer into the town
of Grow and said that he was now on
or near section 28 of that town, NOV
ing about near some camps in that
vicinity. The fact is that there are
several vacant camps in that vicin-
ity.
A lady living south of Glen Flora
was in the city this week and reported
that man had come to her we'll and
that when she started to take him a
cup, he ran wildly away.
The fact that the route mapped out
by the clairvoyant is in line with the
facts SO far as known and that other
singular features support it, have
led to another effort to find the man
on the theory that he is at the point
stated.

ALL KNOW LADYSMITH
Charles Kirwan Finds That the Case
on His Trip About the
State.

Attorney Charles Kirwan returped
Sunday from trip to Manitowocs
While away he visited Sheboygan,
Amigo, Milwaukee and other points.
He found at all these points that the
people generally knew all about Lady
smith, her growth, progress and adj
vantages. They were informed as to
progress being made in railroad con-
struction and all the facts in connec-
ton with the line from Ladysnith
to Superior. They were informed as
to the industrial situation and could
tell their guest all about the new
dam and pulp mill, even to the 500
spur leading thereto. They were ad-
vised as to the sheep and cattle ranches
in fact everything that is doing in
the city and this section of the coun-
try.
All this has come from the publicity
given by the local newspapers, cores
pondents to the dailies and the liter
ature of the real estate dealers. It
is the way it should be. Opportunity
counts for little unless the outside
world knows of it.
We should keep the ball rolling.
A business mems league should be or
ganized on a broad scale to advance
local interests. A fund of consider
able proportions could be obtained and
used to advantage. Why not?

Washington Correspondents Think
They Know What the Govern
or Will Do.

Washington, Oct. 2. Taking Presi-
dent Roosevelt at his word, that he
does not desire another nomination for
the presidency, Governor Robert NJ La
Toilette of Wisconsin, according to one
of his close personal friends, has vir-
tually decided to become an early can
didate for the republican nomination
in 1908.
AS a recent conference Of Governor
La Toilette and his friends, it is said,
it was decided that Governor La Fol-
lette should retain his present position
as governor and decline his other ten
tative Office of United States senator.
La Toilette, it is understood, will an
nounce his candidacy for the republi-
can nomination next year. Meantime
he will continue to lecture in various
states, discussing vital issues and awak-
ening popular interest in them.
SUPPORT OF NORTHWEST
He is reported by his friends as able
to obtain the delegation from his own
state, Wisconsin-that is, if he stays
at the helm at homeland also to be
reasonably sure, as a beginning, of the
support of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and other northwestern
states. He has also unusual strength
with the people in the granger states
of the west.
His friends believe he would have
much better opportunity to make his
individuality and his issues felt if he
should remain as governor of Wiscon-
sin than if he should come to Washing
ton where it is understood Senator
Spooner and other candidates Of the
senate would endeavor to make LaFol-
lette of as little account as possible.
Precedence, senatorial courtesy, and
other restrictions would operate, it is
pointed out, to embarass this aggres-
sive, earnest statesman in the next
two years.
ToGA FOR ESCH OR COOPER
Representative Esch and Representa-
tive Cooper were loyal LaFollette men
in the last contest between the corpo-
rations and the people Of Wisconsin,
and it it believed one of these t~so ll.sTl
would be preferred for senator if La
Toilette should decline to come to
Washington. With either of them or
LaFollette himself in the senate, traf-
fic legislation would gain an effective
advocate, while if LaFollette should
retain the governonship and stump the
west in behalf Of traffic rate legisla-
ton, as is suggested to be his plan,
the Roosevelt administration would
gain valuable support and some rail

New Yorker Would Not Build House

He was such typical New Yorker
that he seemed strangely out of place
in the queer little lumber village way
up in the Canadian woods where his
duties as lumber inspector called
him. And his talk, which was ever OF
"the ponies and the race track,
seemed even more inGongruous in a
place where the white men talked OF
shorts" and "outs;" two by twelves"
and "silos' and all the rest of the
jargon of lumber mill. One day the
superintendent of the plant, who had
taken great fancy to the young New
Yorker, and who apparently loved to
listen to the inspectors stories OF how
he won three hundred on Roseben"
and other profitable operations against
the ring, told him he ought to invest
some of his winnings in a piece OF
land near the mill, build a cottage and
bring his family up there for the sum-
