MEN ARRESTED.

trainmen were instantly killed here
in a rear-end collision on the North

fore they could be rescued the ca
boose caught fire and both were
burned beyond recognition.

on Cornelius Buckley, a telegraph op-
orator at CAM Siding, and on Edward
McKenna, rear fagman of the work
train. Both are held under cor
Oner's warrant.
The operator was held responsible
in that he failed to pull the block on
the approaching freight train, while
the brakeman was held jointly respon-
sible for not having been at his sta
ton at the rear of the train to flag
the extra.

former members of the state board of

MANY WANT RoEMER's POST.

Rivalry for the appointment as a
member of the state board of normal
regents, to succeed Attorney John H.
Roemer of Milwaukee, resigned, is
sharp.
The governor, it is understood had
decided to offer the place to William
N. Fitzgerald, president of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
of Milwaukee, but as soon as the latter
learned of the executives intention he
sent him word that under no circum-
stances could he accept it.
The active or passive candidates for
the appointment are Attorney Theo-
dore Kronshage, Attorney Ernest A.
Kehr, William c. SEEKER, Frank T.
Boessel and Fred c. Thwaits.

CARP INDUSTRY is GREAT.
Catch in United States Amounts to
100000 Pounds Year.


25.oOO.Ooo Pounds a Year.
German carp, so abundant in many
sloughs and the Mississippi around La
Crosse, perhaps mistakenly imported
twenty years ago, are rapidly driving
out or DISCRIMINATING all varieties Of
game fish, much to the disgust of the
angler. The coming of the carp, and
the enormous size, have built up the
most remarkable fresh water fish in
dustry in the United States. The carp
catch now averages the tremendous
amount of 25,000,000 pounds per an
mum and the industry is growing
every year.
sowing to the enormous catch at
times there is danger of a glut in the
market and corresponding fall in
prices When this occurs the fisher
men place their catch in great pens on
the river bank to remain until prices
are more favorable. These pens are
a unique institution and attract much
attention. Fences of reeds are con-
structed which keep the fish in secure
bounds, and they can be gotten with
ease when required. 1t occasionally
happens that freshets overflow the
pens and permit the fish to escape.
This is danger that cannot be pre-
vented.
1t is common belief that the carp
are scavengers and they do not appeal
to the angler like the game fish. Carp
will bite at any kind Of bait and are
the most voracious variety of fish
known among fresh water varieties.
The carp frequents the bed of the
river, burrowing in the mud, and this
characteristic has condemned it among
| fishermen. 1t is asserted, however,
that the Wisconsin carp loses it's iden-
tity when it gets outside the state and
becomes instead pickerel or brook
trout and is served at high-priced ho-
tells at fancy prices.
The humble fisherman is glad to re-
ceive 65 cents per hundred pounds for
| the carp-as much perhaps as single
order costs when the carp appears on
| the menu of the metropolitan eating
houses. Carp grow twice as rapidly as
any other fish. They will weigh three
pounds at the age of eighteen months
! if they have received enough to eat.

President Marvin Hughitt of the
Omaha and Northwestern roads was

at that point Both President Hughitt
and all of the local officials denied
that there was an special significance
in the visit, but the party made care
full inspection of all the property of
the road, especially that on the bay
front. All of the other roads at the

petition on the Chicago business,

nopolized, it is thought that the old

sAWDUST BEDS ON FIRE.
Peculiar Blaze at Menomone Routs
Families Out of Homes.


Many acres of sawdust and mill ref
use, several feet in depth, are on fire
between North Menomonie and the
Red Cedar river, and the heavy smoke,
driven by a high wind, has forced in
habitants of North Menomonie to
leave their homes. The fire depart
ment was called out to subdue the
flames, but the fire is SO deeply in
trenched in sawdust and pine refuse
that all efforts to subdue it are futile.
The extensive beds of refuse are the
accumulation of quarter of {. century
from the sawmills of Knapp, Stout e
Co. company and for twenty years
since the mills ceased depositing
there this vast quantity of refuse has
reposed in the bottom of Lake Memo
min. Early last spring the Wisconsin
Power company drained the lake to
put in a new dam and power plant,
and this bed of refuse dried out and
caught fire. 1t has burned for several
weeks.

Cedar Falls, Iowa, Aug. 27.-An ex-

to the extent of $4,000. 1t was after
midnight before the fire was put I'M

practically destroyed. 1t is believed
that a quantity of dynamite kept in
stock was Jared, causing it to ex-

building, thus causing the dynamite
to go off. The shock of the explosion
was felt for several miles, and hun
dreds of windows were broken.
