Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1905-06-01

-Shullsburg Pick and Cad; On
Saturday morning last our city was
startled Mt the report that James
II "benstreit, proprietor of the Palace
saloon, had committed suicide. Tom
Hicks, who has for years been in the
employ of Mr.. Hebenstreit as bar.
tender, came down to their place of
business about half past six in the
morning, unlocked the front door
on opening which he discovered the
body of Mr.. Hebeustreit upon the
platform, only few feet from the
door, lying face downward in pool
of blood, A large butcher knife lay
near and also n file, with which he
had evidently sharpened the knife.
The rash act of the deceased is an in
eNplicable mystery, no one being
| able to advance any theory as IA
reason for his taking his own life.
| His business affairs were prosperous
and his domestic relations harmoni-
Gus He had an attack of something
| like vertigo last year and some think
| that he feared failing health and had
a dread Of prolonged sickness. James
Hebenstreit was born and raised in
this city. As n boy he was very pop
ular among his fellows and as a man
he had the respect of all who knew
hm. We don't believe he had an
enemy In the world. He was in the
thirty seventh year of his age at the
time of his death aud leaves surviv-

Elaht.Hour Day In Panama.

Washington. June 10.-The opinion
OF Attorney General Moody regarding
the application OF the eighthour law
on the isthmus of Panama was made
public to-day. He holds that the act
Of August 1, 1892. which limits and
restricts to eight hours the daily SER
vice of laborers and mechanics en-
ployed by the government Of the
United States, or by any contractor or
sub-contractor upon the public works
OF the United States, applies to the
employment OF laborers and mechan.
les In the construction OF the Panama
canal.
That act, however. the attorney gen.
eral holds, does not apply to the Office
force OF the isthmian canal commission
stationed on the isthmus Of Panama, or
to any Of the employees Of the govern
ment who are not. within the ordinary
meaning OF the words. "laborers and
mechanics" Also that the scope OF
the act is not limited by the terrific.
rial Jurisdiction Of Congress.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

TeStifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to thas Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor OF
any law. which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While 1t
may be necessary to do that some
time. while that is done in some
states at the present time. while it is
done in sU-ne countries. l am opposed
to 1t. The railway rate Is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest Of its
property Is not good for anything un-
less it can charge rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when
rate was fixed. II that rate was an un-
reasonable rate, It deprives the rail-
road company Of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confscate the property of
railroad; 1t is not necessary that you
should say that 1t shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put In a rate that is inherently
unreasonable. you have deprived that
company of Its rights. Of its property.
and the Circuit Court OF the Un!ted
States has Jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
. have looked at these cases
a great many times. and I can only
come to the conclusion that rail-
road company is entitled to charge
fair and reasonable rate. and IL any
order Of commission. II any statute
OF state legislature takes away that
rate. the fourteenth amendment pro
tects the railway company"

GAS And WATER
rs ONE As NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER2
Citizen. of Large Cite. Say It Is

New York, June 13-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon a sup
ply of gas as upon a supply of good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent Of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at 85 cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is SO simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
1t. II it is desired to make it for prac-
tical lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener.
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun.
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

PEACE ENJOYS NAMED
RUSSIA AND JAPAN TO CONFER
Peace-Place of Meeting Yet
to Be Named.


Washington, June 13.-Official as
surances that the Presidents efforts to
discuss peace will be crowned with
success was brought to the White
House yesterday by Count Cassini,
Russian ambassador, who called by ap-
pointment and in the name of En-
peror Nicholas formally accepted the
Presidents "offer of good will"
The following official statement re-
garding the conference was issued at
the White House:
Ambassador Cassini has called to
express the Russian governments as
sent to the Presidents proposition and
to state that they would appoint pleni-
potentiaries to meet the plenipoten-
tiaries of Japan to discuss the question
of peace. The place of meeting is at
present being discussed"
Conferences of supreme importance
were held yesterday in Washington.
The blue room of the White House was
the scene, and President Roosevelt,
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, and Kogoro Takahira. the Japa-
nese minister, were the principal con-
ferees.
Japan was the first of the two pow
ers to indicate it's acceptance of Presi-
dent Roosevelts proposition. The
formal response to his identical note
of Thursday last was received from the
Japanese government Saturday.
Informal assurances of acceptance of
the Presidents suggestion were re-
ceived from the Russian government a
little later, but the assurances from st.
Petersburg were not of the same def
mite character as had been received
from Toxic.
Early yesterday Ambassador Meyer
ct st. Petersburg, informed this gov
ernment Russia had accepted the Pres
ident's proposition and would name
representatives with plenary powers to
meet plenipotentiaries of Japan.
In addition to indicating the accept
ance by the Russian government OF
President Roosevelts proposition
Count Cassini informed the President
OF Russias desires as to the place OF
meeting of the plenipotentiaries and
named those who probably would be
delegated to represent the Russian En-
peror.
In regard to a place of meeting the
situation is this: Japan does not wish
Paris, and Russia is unfavorable to
Mukden or Che Foo. Both are op
posed to Washington for climatic rea
sons, though neither would oppose the
selection of an American watering
place, and among those already men
toned are Newport and Manchester
by-the-Sea. OF the places under con
sideration in Europe it is said Russia
might accept The Hague. Geneva Il
also considered, and it would not b'

GARDENS OF DELIGHT.
At Denver's Popular Amusement
Place.

Beautiful in their thousands upon
thousands of flowers and with count
less trees are Elitch's Gardens in Den
yer this summer Always luxuriant in
verdure, the gardens have been made
more so this summer by the addition
Of more flowers and trailing vines un-
til even the regular patrons have been
amazed at the transformation.
While SO much attention has been
paid to nature, the amusements have
not been overlooked and several new
features have been added to the pop
ular resort of Denver.
Perhaps the most striking of the
new novelties is the katzenjammer
castle. named in honor of the imps
familiar to readers of the comic sup
plements of the big Sunday newspa-
pers. The castle is filed with start
ling mechanical surprises that must
be seen to be appreciated.
Another new feature is Professor
Clark's dog. cat and monkey show. 1t
occupies large tent, and the years OF
patient toll that Professor Clark has
put in with his animals has been
crowned with success. for the perform
ance is truly remarkable. 1t is the big
attraction for the little folks.
Still another new feature is the vau-
deville theater, with performances,
practically every hour. of high grade.
The entrance to the theater is filled
with mirrors that distort the human
form into many grotesQue and laugh
able shapes and it has become known
as the Temple of Mirth."
The old mill. through which you
float in a boat, has been provided with
new and magnificent scenes, thus en-
hancing the beauty of a place that was
SO popular last season. On the merry
go-round Mrs. Elitch-Long has ex.
pended $4,000 for new and hand
somely carved animals that have
proved a wonder to the children. while
new cars have been provided for the
double figure eight, better known as
the coaster" The circle swing. which
has baskets attached to huge cables
that swings you far out above the
heads OF the spectators. Is proving
even more popular this season than
last.
Tuesday Is children's day at Elitch's
and for their special entertainment
Mrs. Elitch-Long has had the helter-
skelter built. 1t is aptly named. A
grove, crescant-shaped. extends from a
tower fifty feet in height, and down
this grove you coast seated on bis
Of carpet. 1t Is free for the children
on their days. and all other days 1t Is
8 cents for everybody.
Speaking Of prices. Elitch's Gardens
are unique for there is no amusement
where the price exceeds 10 cents, eY
cept In the main theater. In this the
ater Walter Clark Bellows. the famous
New York stage director, has stock
company Of players that Is not sur
passed by any company In the coun
try.
"The Henrietta" Is the attraction In
the theater for this week and for next
week "a Japanese Nightingale" will
be presented.
