According to the Merrill News, cow
ing to the increase of eatables and other
commodities certain hotel proprietor
of that city is forced to close up shop.
Queer reason. No one in this city
whom we know of has noticed any in
crease in eatables or anything else ex-
cept taxes, for several years. Indeed
they are mighty hard to get, and the
wholesaler keeps on turning the thumb
screw on prices.

THERE is tendency towards cheaper
prices for flour, meats, produce, butter,
eggs, etc. In several places in Wiscon
the price has been placed back to five
cents. Recently in Wausau yeast
cakes which have heretofore sold for one
cent, has been raised to two cents.
Perhaps this will prove the straw that
broke the eameps back. There is abso-
lutely no call for raising prices to this
extent from present conditions.

WHEN the Northwestern railroad peo-
pie want to reduce expenses, as they
feel justified in doing at the present
time, they cut the pay of their section
hands from $50 to s1.35 8 day, and
reduce the number of hours work in
their shops. The first cut ought not TO
be on such wages as are paid to this
class of labor There are bigger sal
aries higher up that might be clipped
without any resultant sufferiupA In
fact, the pay of everybody else should
be cut before that of the dollar and a

On Saturday last while the road
roller was in operation on n. Third
street, an accident happened which put
it out of business and it has since been
out of commission. The piston rod
broke in one of its strokes and on the
return stroke it was driven through the
cylinder head with the result that the
latter was broken and allowed all the
steam to escape. Residents in that
section thought the engine was going
to blow up and scampered for safer
quarters. To get the roller temper
arily repaired it was necessary to hitch
six teams onto it and haul it to Muir
rays foundry.

Strange as il may seem, the civilized world
has remained largely uninterested IN the little al

the Achinese been referred 10 as patriots or
fighters worthy the admiration of the world.
A statesman, in referring to them not long

But the Achinese don't mind. They are de

for conclusion OF a treaty of peace with the
Sultan of Achin-or the claimant to that title

Last August an ugly outbreak Of Achinese
rebels on the Dutch post at Rambong resulted in
the killing Of two officers and twenty-five men;
only six men OF the post escaped, and they were
wounded.
This was followed 4 day or two later by an
attack on the Dutch biyouac at Bakong, in
which "A Dutch officer and six European soldiers
were killed.

gated a campaign IN the interior which IS yet

HOW HOLLAND is HAMPERED

II M h. be asked. "Why should not Holland

rebels al ore fell stroke!' 1t would seem that
such a course would be preferable to a long
drawn-out war, which year after year levies is
tribute Of human lives. like an Unsuitable Mol
loch. There Is one serious obstacle to such L
course. however.
Hollands conscript soldiers are enlisted
only for home service. Being unable &c force
men 10 DO service in Achin. the country must

together with about 1000 loyal natives. Cap
rurcd Achinese are not compelled 10 enter the
service against their fellows.
In addition to the troops. there is l. special
Dutch East Indian feet Of a dozen vessels.
Although using the most modern firearms
against primitive wooden weapons, in the main.
the Dutch are compelled every now and then
to submit TO the capture of a fort and To SEQ
its soldiers massacred. Many "regrettable incl
dents have been experienced by the invaders,
who. on the other hand. have been charged with
methods Of barbarism.'
Several years ago England offered 10 meIi-
ate with q view "a making the Achinese salts
fed with their Dutch lords; but Germany pro-
tested that such interference might justify other
Powers in getting their fingers IN the pie. A.
the offer was not accepted
In 1900 the Achinese became cspCr' 'V
troublesome. and the Dutch made q deteTm 1
effort TO srbiugate them. They gained pr

had the town reduced.
"AI right" said the Achinese. Let them
have the town we have the country left" And
they retired to carry on the fight in a new
manner.
With the most powerful guns at the s~eryies
Of the invaders, General Van der Heyden and
his forces swept the interior, killing thousands,
and after awhile the Parliament at The Hague
decided that It would let the remainder of tho
Achinese live in peace.
But imagine the amazement Of Herr Van
der Hoeven. when he went to Achin as the first
Military Governor. TO find the country i a state
Of guerilla warfare.
Then the authorities II Holland were forced
10 send new troops there 10 take up the lost
thread ii this war of conquest. Expedition aft
or expedition went out. only to meet even more
stubborn resistance and fresh disaster. Cutting
up Of conveys, blowing up Of trains aud deadly
ambUshes Dafied the European army, which
made litle or no Roadway against its RELENTLESS
foe. Year after wear campaign has succeeded
campaign. and always with the same results.
