Fond du Lac, Wis, July 31.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The Badger Envelope companys
plant at $50 South Main street was de-
stroyed by fire early Sunday. The build
ing was doomed through a trio of acct
dents. A mistake was made in tele-
phoning, the alarm being turned in at the
No. instead of the No. 1 engine house,
with the result that the two crews, each
running in opposite directions, nearly col
lided Much valuable time was lost
when the fire was reached by the failure
OF the water works to turn on the pres
sure the impression prevailing at the
station that the fire was in the country
The hose of the No. 5 crew proved de-
fectiye and burst almost as soon as pres
sure was applied.
The best work was done by the chem

to this apparatus that. the flames We're

al guardsmen is under way. Preliminary
firing begun today, but the actual COM
petitions will not begin until Tuesday.
The rifle camp is conducted yearly for
the purpose of selecting by competition
the twelve best marksmen in the Wis
consin guard to form the state rife team.
The team so selected this year will go

time by Color Sergt. r. L. Schlick Of
Milwaukee, First regiment, and became
his personal property, the Third regi-
ment prize of a gold watch will be the
Orlando Holway of La Crosse. This
watch becomes at once the property of
the marksman winning it. Gold watch
es will be offered yearly.
The gold medal offered last year by
Col. Otto II. Falk of Milwaukee, COM
mander of the First regiment. is to be-
come the property of the marksman
winning it twice. 1t was won last year
by Private Miller of La Crosse, who is
regarded as a probable winner this year.
The Zwietusch gold medal is offered for
the highest aggregate score at fixed dis
lance, or slow firing, as it is more prop
erly called.
The Badger gold medal is offered for
the highest combined score at 200 and

ion to the Badger medal, is offered for
the highest combined score at 800 and

The Sleepless Sultan.

The Sultan of Turkey is a sufferer
from chronic insomnia, brought about by
long-continued fear of assassina ton. He
sleeps not more than two or three hours
out of the twenty-four, and then only
when someone in an adjacent room is
reading or musician is performing for
him. The light is always burning in his
bedchamber, and his ter-brother, Is
met Bey, the grand master of the i'm
perial wardrobe, sleeps with him. Is
met Bey is the most trusted member of
the Sultan's suite, and as he closely re-
sembles his master he not infreQuently
iimpersonates him on those occasions on
which the Sultan appears in public
ceremonies and there is great risk of
assassination involved.

AN INDIANS BRIDE.
Miss Marguerite Fahrendho1z of Milwau-

Appleton, Wis, July 29.-[Special i
Every one who is interested in Lawrence
university remembers Jean Smith, the
wiry little Oneida Indian who played
good football for the varsity At the
Oneida Indian reservation yesterday
big Indian celebration followed the we'd
ding of Jean Smith and pretty Milwau-

Jean Smith was one of the most pop

and will practice at the reservation.
He was married in Milwaukee Wednes-

whole village was invited to the festivi-
ties. By noon there were over 500
Oneida Indians at the Mission hall
Oneidas arrived in smart top buggies
or runabOuts and the guests were dressed
in gala clothes. Many of the Indian girls
dress elegantly and in the height of fash
ion, and these stepped from their turn
outs and tripped daintily into the hall
with never sign that would suggest the
red blanket and wild unkempt hair of
only a few years back. The celebration
lasted all day.

Strawberries Growing Beneath Snowbank,

L am going to tell you something

but IS every word true" said Miles Fish
er. L was up the Moffat road the other
day viewing the magnificent scenery that

Il got off the train above Holland alta

over on the top. [ scraped away the top
Of the snow to secure some fresh snow
from the bottom of the pile, and in the
handful of snow | caught up were a
quantity of strawberries. The berries
were just turning from green to red and

CHICAGO WOMEN EXCITED.
Rich Oil Dealer Buried Jewelry on Lake
Michigan Shore.

Calvin Ormond Sanders, who says he
is a wealthy oil man Of Beaumont. Tex,
created a stir in South Haven,
Mich, recently, by announcing that
he had buried in the sand of the shore
Of Lake Michigan five boxes of jewelry
valued at $500. The boxes, he said, are
buried in a stretch of land between the
Avery Beach hotel and the dance pa
vilion owned by former Senator Hall of
Chicago. Sanders declares he wants to
test the reputation of Chicago women
for finding things.
The police have learned Of Sanders
action and are making preparations to
detail ten specials to preserve order
among the women who, it is expected,
will scramble in the search for the jew
elry. The five boxes which Sanders says
he has buried contain wedding rings,
watches and jeweled earrings.
ANY woman who finds a wedding
ring and has no one to give it to can
come to me and [ will find her a hus-
band" said Sanders
The whole town is talking of Sanders
eccentric action, and two policemen
have been employed to keep the people
away from the shore in order to give
Chicago women a chance Sanders says
he went to Beaumont, Tex, five years
ago and soon struck it rich in the oil
fields.

ALLEN TANNERY
In NEW COMBINE.
UNITED STATES LEATHER co. SAID
TO BE REORGANIZED AND
GETS INDEPENDENTS.
New Articles of Incorporation Filed by
Big Concern Give Rise to Much
Speculation.

Kenosa, Wis, July 31.-[SpeciaI /
Articles Of incorporation were filed at
Madison today for the n. r. Allen Sons
Tannery company of Kenosha. The cap
ital stock is 100000 and the incorpo-
rators are Charles W. Allen, Nathan r.
Allen, Jr., and Edward G. Theirs.
Big Victory for Combine
1t is generally believed that this is the
first step in turning over the big Ke-
nosha tannery, the largest independent
tannery in the world, to the allied leath
er interests
In speaking of the organization of the
new company this morning Nathan Al
len stated that the stock in the company
would for the present be, held by G. ":
Allen and himself, but that the Central
Leather company would later have an
interest in the company. He declined
to state the nature of this interest.
New Combine Organized.
In qualifying his remarks Mr.. Allen
stated that the Central Leather COM
pany, which is a new organization, now
held more than 80 per cent. of the stock
of the United States Leather COM
pany and that within the last few weeks
the company has purchased SIX plants
NIllc udu 1OFuneIIy Decu independents
He did not give a list Of the plants pur-
chased by the new company.
1t is generally believed here that the
deal is a reorganization of the United
States Leather company by which the
company will secure control Of all of the
larger independent plants in the country.
Fight Has Been Memorable.
The fight between the n. r. Aliens
Sons tannery and the trust has been Il
memorable one and Mr.. Allen insists that
the KenOSha plant has not capitulated.
The Allen tanneries are known to be the
largest harness leather making institu
ton in the world and for the past six
years the national combination has been
making an effort to secure control OF the
Kenosha plant. 1t is claimed that at one
times the United States company offered
S6,OOOOOO for the plant and the offer
was refused.
The Allen plant was established by
Nathan Allen. one of the pioneers of Ike
nosha, in 1856 with a capacity of 5000
pieces annually, but it has since grown
to gigantic proportions.
Travelling Men Back On Road.
1t is an open secret that a large
amount of the stock of the United
States Leather company has been
held by the Allen brothers. The COM
pany's offices were open as usual today
and the travelling men who were called
III a month ago went to work again this
morning. The officers of the new con-
Germ will be elected at the first meeting
of the stockholders, which will be held
later in the week.
