A Fatal Accident.

Last Thursday evening Dave Wal
tiers and a Mr.. Krambeer boarded the
accommodation here for Luana, and
as Dave was in a joking mood, at
tempted to have little fun with the
conductor by refusing TO give up his
ticket; the conductor promptly stop
ped the train and put him off,
Notwithstanding the fact that Dave
produced his ticket and offered to give
it up. Although no one seems to be
exactly sure, it is supposed that in
attempting to board the train again
the unfortunate man fell under the
coach, the conductor seeing him pitch
forward brought the train to another
stop. Seeing the man was injured
the train was backed to this station
again and he was taken to the Cot
tage hotel The next day, an opera
tion was performed the right arm
heing taken off at the shoulder joint.
The patient rallied from the opera
tion and seemed to get along exceed
ingly well until about 6 O'Clock
Saturday evening when he went into
a sinking spell aud passed away an
hour later. -Monona Leader

The -year-old daughter of Ed.
Harris of Guttenburg wanted to visit
her grandmother at Prairie du Chen,
and started out at 80 O'Clock last
Monday afternoon to make the trip
alone. She climbed into an empty
box car at Gutenberg, riding to
Clayton when she jumped out on ac-
count of becoming cold, and started to
walk to McGregor, distance of ten
miles. A searching party was sent
after her on hand car, but she hid as
they passed her, and when they were
out of sight continued on alone to
McGregor, arriving just at midnight,
when the news was sent TO her
father, who went to McGregor after
her, and her visit to her grandmother
was postponed.

WISCONSIN TOWN BURNED
HEAVY FIRE LOSS rs SUSTAINED
-r AT STANLEY.
Over 100 Residences and a Dozen
Business Houses Destroyed by
Wind-Fanned Flames

Stanley, Wis, May 19.-Fire, which
started from a spark from the North
western mill, destroyed 100 residences
and dozen business buildings. The
loss is estimated at 100000.
The fire broke out in the stables of
the Northwestern Lumber company,
and spread rapidly. A high wind from
the west carried the flames away from
the Northwestern mill and saved that
structure, but six blocks to the east
were completely burned out.
The large department store of the
Northwestern Lumber company was
among the business places wiped out,
and the loss to the building and stock
will total $4,000.
Among the other losers were: J. N
Olson, furniture, $4,000; Long & Ness,
meat market, $4,000; Christian & Kon-
sella, farm implements, $4,000; Norwe-
gian church and Young Peoples read
ing room, $4,000.
The damage in the residence section
is estimated at over 100000, every
house being destroyed between the
Northwestern store and Franklin
street.
The flames were blown by high
wind from the west, and so rapid was
the progress of the confagration that
practically nothing could be saved
from the residences. The public Ii
brary was on fire several times, but
the walls of the building and most of
the books we're saved. The high school
building was threatened, but heroic
work on the part of the fremen saved
| it.
Engines and firemen were sent from
| Thorpe, Eau Claire and Chippewa
Falls, and the iremen succeeded in
| keeping the flames out of the main
business section.
The store of w. D. Schulz, across
from the Northwestern store, was afire
several times, and if the flames had not
been checked here the whole business
| section would have gone

EARTHQUAKE Fixes
TYPE OF waterway
MAJORITY REPORT FAVORING
SEA LEVEL CANAL SUB
MITTED TO CONGRESS.
Objections to Earth Dam Proposed by
Minority Are Pointed Out-Deep
Passage Will Take But Little
Longer to Build.

Washington, May 18.-That the
Francisco was an important factor in
determining the vote of the senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals i'll
favor of a sea-level type is apparent
from the fact that a feature of the ma
jority report is a discussion of the
effect such an earth wave might have
on locks and dams.
The majority report in favor of a
sea-level canal was submitted Thurs
day by Senator Kittridge. On the
subject of danger from earthquakes
on the isthmus and the possible effect
on the two types of canal proposed the
report says: ~.
"That the isthmus of Panama is not
exempt from earthquakes, conclusively
appears, and we can have no guaran-
ty that the canal zone will in the flu
ture be exempt from such disaster.
Quakes Would Ruin Locks.
''The canal structures that would be
most exposed to injury by the passing
of an earth wave or violent move
ment of the earth's surface, are the
locks proposed by the minority, whose
walls, many hundreds Of feet, or even
1000 or 5000 feet long, at Gatun,
would, at least some of them, be more
than rs feet high and entirely unsup-
ported on one side save for part of
the height Of water.

would be in their leaning and so pre-
venting the closing of the gates But
the most likely effect of such shock
would be the fracture of these locks, ir,
repairing of which much time-months
or years might be Required.

as proposed by the minority, might be
assured if the earthquake passed the
locality, and i crack in the dam OF

go out, ths lock drain, and the canal be
ruined. What would happen to tbs
adueduct, conduits, pipes and valves
buried in the concrete walls, used FOL
filling and emptying the locks, cannot
be we'll conjectured."
The report says that the conclusion
has been reached that the following
propositions are irrefutable:
That the ideal canal is one at sea
level that its construction would BIZ
attended with no more, and probabl,
with less hazard than one with locks
and dams on doubtful foundations
| that the sea level canal is safer ant
more convenient than one with locks
| that it would take but little longer
| time to build; that it is the simpler an,
the more economical in operation ant
maintenance.
The majority report concludes tina
| the sea level canal would not require
more than two or three years more
! than the lock type.
The minority report of the commit

it seemed probable that the conven-

Secretary Irwin Shepard of the n +.

the difficulty of arranging for the pro-
gram ana accommodations and the
short time remaining in which all that

not to hold the convention near San

Jdent Wheeler Of the University of

Insurance Commissioner o IBrien has
made q ruling that fraternal and bene-
fetal associations are not allowed to
write endowment or annuity policies.
The ruling is supported by an opinion
from B. A. Stone, assistant attorney
general. He says that the law express
" prohibits "'benefciary' associations
from writing such policies, and holds
that this term includes all fraternal So
cieties.
Mr.. O'Brien today sent to every in
surance company doing business in the
state, q pamphlet containing the re-
and the session Of 1905. Under the
code every company must file with the
commissioner its acceptance Of the new
laws, and Mr.. O'Brien asks that it be
done by resolution Of the board Of d.
rectors.
Attention is called to several changes
in the law. Mutual fire insurance com.
panies must make an assessment when
ever the cash funds are insufficient to
pay incurred losses. This refers only
to business written since March l, 1906
to all business written before that time
he will continue to consider the con.
tingent liability Of policyholders net
asset which may offset the reinsurance
reserve. e.s-..-. 4as-
Mr.. O'Brien constructs sections 1929
and 11703 Of the code to mean that the
only companies hereafter exempt from
taxation are township and farmers mu
tual fire insurance companies, and fra
ternal and BENEFICIARY associations.
Attention of domestic companies i!
| called to the requirement that they
must file with the commissioner the
name and residence Of every person en-
ployed as an agent in the state.

BOND SALE FAILURE
!. HOLDS BACK SCHOOLS

No bids for the school bonds were re-
ceived by the council committee on
ways and means at it's meeting yester-
day afternoon. It was explained by q
representative of the Minnesota Loan
& Trust company that money is in great
demand and that for this reason bonds
drawing only 81 per cent interest could
not be sold. He said if the rate Of in
terest was raised to 4 per cent. which
was the prevailing rate on municipal
securities, there was no doubt that sew
eral, bids would be received and there
might even be a small premium.
Comptroller Dan G. Brown was not
surprised at the failure Of the bond
brokers to make an offer, and called
attention to several recent sales, in
which lit tie or no premium was offered
even on 4 per cent securities. 49,
It was decided to recommend to the
council that the rate be increased to
4 per cent and that new proposals be
advertised for. This report will be pre-,
sented to the council this evening.
The failure to dispose of the bonds
will delay the work Of building new
schools. It will be necessary to adver,
tise for three weeks and after the bids
have been opened the successful bidder
will require several weeks in which to
secure legal opinion.
