POSTMASTER AT BELOIT
David B. W0rthinston, Formerly
Of This City, Appointed by
President.

David B. Worthington, editor and
proprietor of the Beloit Daily News,
has been appointed postmaster at
Beloit, by President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Worthington was born, educated
and learned the printers trade in this
city, and is therefor truly Grand
Rapids boy. He is the son of r. G..
Worthington, deceased, former well
known business man in this city. He
is brother of DR.. Harry Worthing-
ton, Of Oak Park, ILL.,, and nephew
of Braniard Worthington, the we'll
known west side resident.
David has been engaged in news
paper work in the DakoJas, Oregon,
Chicago, Minneapolis and San
Francisco as well as Wisconsin, and
has been unusually successful since
locating in Beloit.
In commenting on his appointment
the Milwaukee Free Press, in it's Sun
day edition has the following to say:
Mr.. David B. Worthington was on
Friday nominated by the president as
postmaster at Beloit, to succeed Mr..
Chalmers Ingersoll, who has held the
office for something like fifteen years,
and wanted it fifteen, or any part of
fifteen, years more.
Worthington is editor of the Beloit
Daily News-one of the best business
propositions in the newspaper line in
the state. Worthington did not need
the office, but he wanted it, and put
up a good fight for it, and got it. He
was Representative Cooper's ms \ from
the start, and that assured him the
appointment, unless the administra-
tion made an exception in Mr..
Cooper's case and refused him the
right to name the man of his choice:
and this, which was the reliance of
the supporters of Ingersoll, the ad-
ministration did not do.
Worthington has worked like a
beaver in the state contest of the past
six years, and has always been a hot
supporter Of Mr.. Cooper. His appoint
ment will give great satisfaction in
| BelOit. The contest just settled was
really one between newspapers, for
Ingersoll is editor of the Free Press
stalwart, anti-La Toilette, and anti
| Cooper most of the time, of late years

SUSPECT is RELEASED
Man Captured by Sheriff WEIGH
Was not the Man Wanted.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 2S.-Robert
Engelman, recently arrested in Grand
Rapids, Wis. on suspicion of being
August Sternickel, wanted for the
murder of man in Plagwitz, Prussia.
was today released from custody.
Engelman established complete ali
bi.
1t will be remembered by REPoR-
TER readers, that Engelman was held
by Sheriff WEIGH, on request of the
German Consul. He was later taken
to Chicago and held awaiting investi-
cation of the alibi he advanced, and
it would seem from the above dis
patch that he was successful in prov
ing his innocence.

GREAT WEALTH
In WISCONSIN
Vast Amount Of Power Available
and Only Scientific Develop.
ment Needed.

The waters of the Wisconsin river,
says the Milwaukee Journal, are pro-
ducing today some $4,000 horse power
of energy which is being used in
manufacturing and other industries.
The systematic and SEMITIC develop
ment of the headwaters of the Wis
consin river and of it's tributaries
would double, treble or perhaps quad
ruple the flow of water in the river
and increase the water powers by just
so much.
In 1900, the total amount of steam
horse power used in the entire state
of Wisconsin was little more than
100000. This is only twice the
estimated theoretical horse power
capacity of the Wisconsin river, which
might be doubled in a very short time
by the maintenance of single system
of dams in Villas and Oneida counties.
The tributaries of the Wisconsin
river are filled with almost innumer-
able rapids and water powers. These
smaller streams descend 300 to 400
feet in the distance of 80 to 90 miles
from the watershed line on either
side to the main river. With system
attic and scientific control of the flow
in these streams the capacity of the
water powers directly affected could
be largely increased, while at the
same time the Wisconsin river water
powers would be greatly benefited.
Between Kilbourn and the Otter
rapids, 25 miles above Rhinelander,
there are dam sites available and in
use capable of raising head of water
over 600 feet in height. By the simple
development of lakes and swamps
above the Otter rapids the flow of the
river over its entire length could be
increased almost 5000 cubic feet per
second. This increase flow would be
capable Of producing with the dams
that can be built almost 200, 900 horse
power in addition to power that the
present flow will produce.
Steam horse power costs $40 to $50 a
year to produce; water horse power SIS
to S25. Steam horse power costs on
an average about $40 more per horse
power. The theoretical horse power
at present capable of development in
the Wisconsin river is worth almost
81, ,OOO, 900 a year over and above the
cost of a like amount of steam horse

ALL LION SAYS HICKS
Can't See a Bit of Wool on Any
Part of March.

A regular storm period is central
on the 4th. covering the End to the
7th. This period will begin with
falling barometer and rising temper
ature in western sections, followed
quickly by cloudiness, rain and cleo
trical storms on and following the
End. Before the end of the period,
rain will turn to snow in all central
to northern sections: frosts and freez-
ing may be looked for from the 5th
to the Sth.
A reactionary storm period falls
centrally on the 9th, 10th, and 18th.
This second storm period of the pres
ent month eliminates Oh the 18th,
and marked perturbations in the
earth and atmosphere will show
themselves on and about this date.
Earth currents, auroral lights, es-
pecially far to the northward, and
vicious electrical storms in the south
are among the things naturally to be
expected. March billiards in the
northwest are probable.
A regular storm period is central on
the 18th, embracing the 18th to the
18th. High temperatures, low baro-
meter, and general unrest of the
elements of earth and sky will culmi-
nate in storms and other phenomena
from about the 18th to the 18th.

A reactionary storm period is GEN.
tral on the Goth, 21st and 22nd, ex-
actly on the turn of the March
equinox. March 10, q and p are
among the days of great storm posi-
! bilities.
A regular storm period extends
from the 25th to the end OF March.
The central day of the period is the
9th. There is every reason to appre-
hend storms and other phenomena
out of the ordinary at this period.
Hurricanes on the south coasts and
tornadoes in the interior, are possible

AMMONIA TANKS EXPLODE
Henry Podawiltz, Night Watch.
man, Badly Injured and May
Lose Sight of Eyes..Accident
Occurred About $50 O'clock
Thursday Evening.

An accident occurred at the Grand
Rapids Brewery last Thursday eve
ming about $50 O'Clock, which nearly
resulted in the binding of Henry Poda-
wiltz the night watchman, as well as
the breaking of several windows and
steam and water pipes. The monetary
damage to:the company was small, but
the escape of the night watchman
from instant death. was nothing short
of miraculous.
This company does its own refrigera-
tion by system of expansion coils
which are contained in the basement.
When the pressure of ammonia reaches
a certain stage, it is relieved by the
engineer who draws it off into steel
tanks which are about eight feet long,
twelve inches in diameter, and with
reinforced oval ends. The steel from
which these tubes are made is about
one half inch thick, and as a con-
sequence is well able to resist
terrific pressure. Thursday night, when
the Indicator registered ninety pounds
pressure ON the ammonia coils, four of
these small tanks were filled as usual
and rolled to the front of the en-
gine room where they remained.
1t is thought that the heat in
the engine room expanded the
ammonia to such an extent that
one of these tubes exploded.
The explosion occurred just as the
night watchman entered the engine
room, and while he was between the
tubes. The conclusion was so great
that one of the tanks was lifted fully
twelve feet from the floor and in
striking the two inch steam pipe
about the door bent it badly. 1t would
seem from the different pipes broken
in the engine room, that the tanks
must hayesbeen jumping around the
room like huge torpedos, and how Mr..
Podawiltz ever got through the fu-
sillade as well as the fumes of am
monia, is deep mystery.
While it is not known just what the
action of the ammonia will be on the
head, neck and eyes of Mr.. Podawiltz,
who is now at his home, it is thought
that he will recover completely in a
short time. His eyes sustained the
greatest injury, but aside from
this, the injury was confined to am
monia burns on the neck and head.
Mr.. PodawiltZ stated to one of the
employees at the brewery when being
taaeH 20 DR.. Hougen's residence i'm
mediately after the accident, that
the moment the explosion occurred,
he realized that he must hold his
breath, and this he did until he was
safe in another room. 1t is stated by
those who are familiar with ammonia
gas that this is the only thing that
saved him, for had he taken even
single breath he would have i'm
mediately ambed to the poison.
The door, or rather the glass in
the door, of the engine room, was
almost completely blown out. A
water pipe connecting the engine was
broken, likewise similar pipe on the
pump. This was a fortunate occur
rance also, as the running water
tended to allay the power of the gas.
The cap covering the cylinder on the
engine was also badly smashed, and
rendered useless. Practically, this
was all the damage to the building
and machinery.

power. This is the equivalent of 5
per cent on an investment of s2O.-
100000.
Development of the water power of
the Wisconsin river which would add
5000 second feet to the minimum flow
of the river would add another $40,
100000 to this very tangible asset of
the state. This asset would be per-
and unending.

Congregational Parasites

A gentleman of Brooklyn, New York,
by name Mr.. Alexander Lyons, has been
inveighing against that section OF the
community who, while processing Juda-
ism, decline to participate in providing
the funds whereby the religion and it's
observances may be carried on. AS Mr..
Lyons says, this class of individual is d
common form Of the moral parasite
which may be found in all congregations
throughout the world-an individual
who steals the sustenance for religious
life from Others Such an one is not
member or seat-holder. This costs money,
and money he is unwilling to spend on
religion. He wants religion, but pre-
fers to have others pay for it. Even ii
he doesn t pay, he receives a seat 1t
doesn't bother this parasite that some
one else has to pay to support it. Ii it
did, he would cease to be a parasite.
When the great Holy Days come he re-
mains at home. He is too avaricious to
pay for a seat; there are none he can
occupy at the cost Of others, so he re-
mains at home with the fimsy excuse
that one can be good Jew even without
going to the synagogue. He is right.
One can be good Jew without going to
house of worship, but parasite ism t
a good Jew within the synagogue or
without. The congregational parasite
