A movement was launched for the
establishment of a burglary and fidel-
ity company in the West to prevent
sending this business to New York,
the contention being that the insur-
ance can be had at 80 per cent saw
ing. The Chicago clearing house rule

WON'T ASK DEPFW TO RESIGN
AUTHOR is ONLY ONE TO VOTE
FOR RESOLUTION IN NEW
YORK SENATE.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 18.-The state
senate yesterday afternoon, by vote
of "a to l, rejected the resolution or
Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Sara
toga, demanding the resignation OF
Chauncey M. Depew from the United
States senate. After a debate lasting
more than three hours, and character
lied on 5he one hand by Senator
Brackets unsparing denunciation OF
Senator Depew and the insurance
companies, and on the other hand by
the almost equally harsh criticisms OF
the Judgment and the motives of the
introducer of the notion the roll call
showed Senator Brackets own vote
to be the only one in favor of the res
olution. Every other Republican SEN
ator voted against it with the excep-
ton of Senator Armstrong of Roches-
ter, who is in New York, and he sent
a telegram to Senator Tully to the
effect that if he were present he
would vote against the resolution.
The fourteen Democratic senators
were excused from voting on the res
OlutiOn.

Washington. Jan. IT, - Charges by

mission that the Southern Pacific
railway is responsible for the freight
congestion on the iSthmuS of Panama
formed the most interesting develop
ment of four-hour hearing yesterday
on canal affairs before the deficiency

cific Railway company controls the

tary OF war and Mr. Stevens, who say
that since the abrogation of the
freight agreement between the Pan
anna railroad and the steamship COM
pany, the latter has been
DiIatory in Calling
for San Francisco freight on the west
side of the isthmus. 1t is charged
that steamers frequently refuse to
stop to take on freight, and even leave
port with only partial cargo, while
great quantities of freight lie on the
Wharves.
1t was alleged that the motive for
this course on the part of the steam
ship company was SO to hinder the
handling of materials for the canal
delivered at Colon by the steamships
operated by the government from
New York, so that shipments would be
necessary over the lines of the Pacific
Mail from San Francisco.
1t was suggested by several mem
bers of the appropriations committee
that the Pacific Steamship company
might be induced to act more prompt
ly if the United States were to threat
en- to cut off mail contracts with the
COMPANY.

KANSAS SHORT $4,000.
State Treasury Accounts Are Over
hauled.


Topeka, Kan. Jan. 18. - A total
shortage in the Kansas state treasury
of about $4,000 is shown by the re-
port of Accountant Morris in the
treasury examination just closed, ac-
cording to a summary of the report
prepared by Gov. E. w. Hoch and
made public late yesterday afternoon.
The report covers all the transactions
made by the state treasurers from
Jan. /, 1898, to June so, 1905, includ-
ing the two full terms of former State
Treasurer Frank Grimes and one term
and six months of the administration
of Thomas T. Kelly, the present state
treasurer. The larger part of the
shortage appears in the accounts of
the office during the Grimes admins
tration Of the total of $4,000, $780,
900 is due to missing coupons from
bonds owned by the state school fund,
and $4,000 is due to loss of interests
on warrants issued by the Territory
of Oklahoma to the State of Kansas.
Gov Hoch last night declined to dis
cuss any action that he may take.

MAN is MADE A TORCH.
Outrage Unparalleled in History o.
Northern Wisconsin.


Hayward, Wis, Jan. IS. - From
Winters, this county, comes the story
of an outrage hardly paralleled in the
history of Northern Wisconsin. Joe
Buckwheat, an Indian, and Joe LIE
bouff, a French-Canadian, attended a
dance at a neighbours, and for some
cause became incensed at compan
iCl After the dance was over Buck
wheat and Lebouff are said to have
caught the man and saturated his
clothing with alcohol. They then, it
is claimed, applied match and re-
leased him. The man was immediate
ly enveloped in flames, and his tor
mentors, alarmed at what they had
done, attempted to cut his clothing off
with their knives. In this they were
successful, but not until the man was
badly burned and severely wounded
by the knife thrusts. Buckwheat and
Lebouff were arrested and brought to
this city.

WARRANT FOR SCHOOL OFFICIAL
County Superintendent Makes Charges
of BoodIing.

of BoodIing.
A warrant has been sworn out for
James Philbrooks, secretary of the
board of education of the town of Sg;
perior. The warrant was served on
the advice of County Superintendent
Of Schools A. N. Young. The latter
has been conducting a school reform
campaign in the township.
Philbrooks and members of the
school board of the town of Superior
are charged with wholesale fraud in
the management of the school affairs
of the district, and the warrant
charges the secretary with malfeas-
ance in Office.
The charges that resulted in the
trouble between the county superin-
tendent of schools and the board and
secretary were made by the former at
an institute held at the Billings school
at the South end. A pitched battle
almost resulted between Young and
his sympathizers and Philbrooks and
some of his alleged political allies.
Young and Philbrooks, it is reported,
actually came to blows, but were i'm
mediately separated by a constable
who happened to be present.
Supt Young has announced that he
will secure legal advice through the
state superintendent of schools and
that those who are guilty of misman-
aging the school affairs of the town
will be punished. He charges Phil
brooks with drawing a great deal
more money than the law allows for
personal services and says that q
majority of the members of the school
board are in the same boat. He says
that they have formed an agreement
with school supply companies, and in
particular certain agent, to defraud
the town. Fraudulent bills rendered
by these agents are allowed by the
board, he claims, and alleges that the
agents fat rewards are Spit with
the school commissioners.
Young has been promised the as
sistance of the district attorney and
a citizens committee is helping him
get further evidence. 1t is charged
that the combination has illegally
taken thousands of dollars since it's
political faction has been in power.
Several town officers of the same
political faction are now in the shad
ow of a prospective suit charging
them with fraud in the administration
of town affairs. The head of the party
is chairman of the town, and he, to-
gether with the township clerk and
treasurer, are restrained by an order
of the court from administering the
affairs of their Offices or to draw
funds.-W.

wisconsin's Granger Governor of 8
Years Ago Now Feeble and Friend

Years AGO Now Feeble and Friend
less.
William r. Taylor, Wisconsin's
famous granger governor OF thirty
years ago, who in his declining days
has gone to the Gisholt home for the
aged, has led a life filled with adven-
ture and romance Now in his feeble
old days, he sits in a small, uncarpet-
ed room with only a bed and trunk
for company, dreaming away his
time and with no friends or kin to
cheer his loneliness.
The story of his great fight with
railroads; how he rode into power on
the granger movement; how he sue
ceeded in putting on the books an
anti-pass law, railroad rate commls-
sion: reduced rates; established the
principle that the state is supreme
over corporations of it's own creation,
is we'll known.
But this is but one chapter in
career filled with excitement and adj
venture His life ends as it began,
amid strangers and in want, for his
mother died when he was mere
babe, and his father went down at
sea when he was but six years of
age. The aged man does not know
whether he is IS or 81 years old.
In my childhood l was put out to
a trade" he said, ''and my sister told
me that I was kept two years longer
than I should have been. If that is
true. [ am 81. if not. l am s."
Born in the East, Mr.. Taylor drift
ed westward with civilization, and
kept on the frontier until he settled
IN Madison nearly half a century ago.
He was by turns farmer, school teach
err. surveyor and woodsman and also
spent some time in the study of medi-
cine. At one time in his youth while
in Ohio and casting about for some
thing to do, he read an advertisement
in an Indiana paper that teacher
was wanted to manage an ungovern-
able school. The pay offered was
high. and he jumped at the chance.
The first day was a memorable one
in the history of that school Four
young DULLES who had terroriZed the
pupils were taken separately out in
the yard and given a sound thrashing.
From that day it was a model school,
and received special recognition as
such.
Many anecdotes of other years are
told by the former governor whose
closing moments of a strenuous life
seem strangely fated to be passed in

LEAVES AN IMMENSE FORTUNE
THE ESTATE is ESTIMATED AT
FROM s15o,ooo,ooo TO
100000, 600.

New York. Jan 18-Marshall Field
of Chicago millionaire merchant and
a leader in the dry goods trade OF the
world, died at the Holland house in
this city at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon after an illness extending over
more than a week, beginning with a
bad cold and developing quickly into
pneumonia, which affected both lungs.
Mr.. Field, although seventy years
of age, made a great fight against the
disease, which the attending physi-
clans characterized as being Drawer
and stronger than would have been
expected of a man many years his
junior. Mrs. Field and other members
of the family were with him when he
lapsed into the period of unconscious
ness which resulted in death.
Amassed Gigantic Fortune.
AS. to the provisions of Mr. Fields
will, August Eddy, a close personal
friend of the Field family, refused to
talk. He denied that he is familiar
with its contents, but intimated that
Mr.. Field had left all of his property
to his relatives. His friends say that
he has provided magnifcently for the
city of Chicago, in which he has al
ways taken great pride, and the great
growth of. which enabled him to
amass his gigantic fortune, estimated
at from $15O,00O,000 to $200,O0O,000
The will will be filed in Chicago.

ORGANIZE A NEW ARIsTocRAcY.
Persons of Indian Descent Form Ex-
elusive Society.

Persons of Indian Descent Form Ex-
elusive Society.
A society that claims the real blue
blood of America is red" blood and
that the true American aristocrat is
he whose ancestors owned the soil in
America simultaneously with the
founders of European aristOcracy, is
being formed under the auspices of
The Wisconsin Archaeological society.
Only persons of American Indian de-
scent are eligible to membership in
this exceedingly exclusive society.
A request has been received at
Ashland from Charles E. Brown of
Milwaukee, secretary of the archaeO-
logical society, for the names of eligi-
bies and any information of use in the
organization of the society.
The objects of the society, which
claims to be the first of its kind in the
world, will be the preservation of In
dian records and relics, and the es-
tablishment of a warmer and more
fraternal feeling among those of In
dian blood.
Milwaukee is said to have several
dozen eligibles, and it is expected that
numerous members can be found in
and about Ashland, some of them
scions of old and respected families.
Throughout the state several hundred
of those eligible to membership doubt
less can be found.
Although at present the society is
to be limited to the state boundaries,
it is expected that its scope will be
enlarged and that in the near future
Minnesota and other states will be
asked to join in the movement.
