DIETz MAKES A COMPROMISE
After Defying the Great State Of Wis.
cOnsin for Years His War Is
Ended.

st. Paul, Sept. %. - A dispatch
from Rice Lake Wis. referring to the
reported settlement of the dispute he.
tween John Dietz and the Chippewa
Log and Boon company over the own
ership of Cameron dam on Thornapp.e
river, Wis. says: The settlement was
effected III this city this week, and
was made Between Dietz's brother and
w. J.. Moses, of Chippewa Falls. The
latter took the contract to move the
logs that have been tied up hv Dietz
for over two years, down the r.ver to
the Chippewa Log and Boom COM
pany'S sawmill at Chippewa Falls for
a consideration of $4,000.
1T is alleged that of this sum he
gave Dietz $4,000 for permission to
drive the logs through Diets dam on
the Thornapple river. The logging com
pany refused to deal with or pay
DietZ a cent. but when Moses made
them a proposition to drive the logs to
the mill for $4,000 they accepted it.
and then Moses effected settlement
with DietZ by paying him $4,000,
which ends the long and bitter fight
for possession of the logs

MIRACLE AT LOURDEs.
Whole Town creets Girl Whose Para.
Iyzed Knee Was Cured.


An imposing religious demonstration
recently took place at Mines on the
arrival of a train of pilgrims from
Lourdes. Mile. Marguerite Long was
met by 1900 people, for the news Of
her miraculous cure at the renowned
shrine had created an enormous SEN
satiOn il the town.
When she went away Mile. Long was
suffering from arthritis, which COM
pletely paralyzed one knee so that she
could only walk with crutches. She
had suffered for three years and the
doctors had been powerless to help
her. Sent at various times to different
spas whose healing waters were rec
commended for her case, she had always
returned in the same condition, and
even a previous journey to LOurdes
last year had failed to cure her.
But at last the miracle was accom-
pliShed. Five times the young girl had
gone down into the bath and twice she
had taken part in the religious process
sion, on the first occasion on foot, which
she did only with the utmost difficulty,
and secondly in a carriage. According
to her statement her cure was made
known to her as follows:
At O'Clock in the afternoon the Sec
ond part of the rosary was being re-
cited before the famous grottO. Sud
denly she felt a violent twinge in her
naraIvZed knee which was followed
by an agitation which shook up her en-
tire system. She felt that she was
cured and dropped her crutches and
Immediately joined the procession,
walking with the utmost ease amid the
enthusiastic populace.
On arrival at Mines she rushed to
her father and mother and threw her
self into their arms, and hundreds
around her sObbed with joy.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE AT ROME
1t Will Probably Materialize, Too
Vatican People Are Feel
ing ANXIOUS.

Rome, Sept. 20.-Anxiety is felt at
the Vatican as to the outcome Of dem
onstrations over the thirty-seventh
anniversary of the fall Of the temporal
power of the papacy and the capture
of Rome by the Italians. The event has
taken a decidedly anti-clericaI turn
and it is feared it may lead to serious
complications.
The general feeling in Vatican cir
cles is that the whole revival Of anti
Clericalism is due to the direct infiu.
ence of the French enemies of the pa
pacy. Hints are even made that consd-
cradle money has been contributed for
this purpose. In privateau Pope
Plus made direct illusions to today:
saying: Il hope that the good sense
of the italian people will prevent them
from falling into such trap and that
they will remember that we are al
ItaliapS.''

When Ratrolman KfHigan went into

him to court for arraignment he found
Scarello crouching in a corner and
grooming in great pain. He was also
shirtless, and when he was asked what
was the matter with him he replied:

On the floor were buttons for the
shirt, and in a corner were other
portions of the garment, but fully half
of it had disappeared.
"Where is the rest of your shirt?'
demanded the policeman.

full little instrument for stockmen
and farmers in the shape of a harness
punch, tanner and ear marker COM
blned. They are fixed so that they
can be made into one tool in a mo-

that it will mark stock from one to
two-hundred perfectly.
The few that were finished last
year have brought in numerous in
qniries this spring for more and the
remand far exceeds the supply and
ans into the thousands. The larger
art of the instrument is made in
Connecticut while the attachment is
manufactured in Omaha. Every
mail brings in many enquiries of
MIR. Hansen about it. Every stock
raiser should have one. A Stock
Company should be formed here in
Extra and the machine manufactured
in such quantities that it will fill
the demand.
