The following taken from the New

southern Wisconsin house: Chambers &
Owen, of Milton Junction, Wis, handle

considered one of the best cigar sales
men in the state of Wisconsin and trav-
els continually.

GAINESVILLE

A majority of the merchandising cred
itors of the GAINESVILLE Sash & Door Co
held a meeting here and agreed to settle
their claims by selling them to Manager
Albert Schaller for forty cents on the
dollar.
Circuit Judge Grimm has ruled away
all hindrances to the construction of the
Avon drainage ditch in Rock county, and
the promoters will now proceed to secure
appropriations and subscriptions. The
proposed ditch would drain several
square miles of good farm land that is
now inundated the greater portion OF the
year.
Rock county attorneys are signing a
petition calling on the legislature to
amend the special act creating the James
vile municipal court in such manner
as to give Judge Charles L Fifield juris
diction over all cases arising in which no
more than $4,000 is involved, and iii
vorce actions. At present the court is
limited to civil suits for $500 or less.
Should the legislature pass such meas
ure, Judge Fifield will practically have
concurrent Jurisdiction with Circuit
Judge George Grimm of Jefferson.
Bills have been introduced in the state
legislature providing for the payment of
a straight salary of $4,000 to the county
Judge of Rock county instead of salary
of $1,000 and certain fees as has been the
plan in past years. Senator Whitehead
presented the bill in the senate and AS
semblyman Simon Smith in the house.
Judge Sale has been receiving salary
of $4,000 from Rock county and has re-
ceived fees amounting to about $500 to
800 year. But at recent meeting of
the judges of the state in Milwaukee he
learned of an additional fee that was
due him and which he had not received
for several years. This he looked up
and found that he had several hundred
dollars due from the county and his bill
for this amount was presented to the re-
cent session of the county board. 1t had
to be paid and then the Judge notified
the board that he was not entitled to
the money and asked that law be
framed which would cover the fee point.

death overlook him. He was II years
old. Those in charge of the institute
say that their late leader has appeared
to them in spirit form and urged the
continuing of the work in the spiritual

It now appears that the same five gen
tlemen who sought the appointment of

Tuesday forenoon the residence of Mrs

afire, supposedly from some defect in the
chimney, and burned to the ground.
Mrs Webb and her mother, Mrs Hawley
Smith, and her daughter, Mrs Bert
Webb, we're at home, but Bert and his
brother Earl were away temporarily.
The three women spent all their efforts
in trying to subdue the blaze and so lost
all chance of saving anything. Every
thing was destroyed including sum of
money. The blow falls severely on the
family.

The village of Cambridge perhaps ex-
perienced it's first strike or walk-out of
any consequence last week. The trouble
had been brewing for day or two, but
on Friday morning it came to conclu-
sion. The forty or more tobacco sorters
at Vetterlein & Co.'S warehouse quit
work and walked out The sorters made
the claim that the company was giving
them unfair weight, and besides that
they were being underpaid. The sorters
were receiving 70 cents per hundred
pounds and demanded that their pay be
increased to rs cents and that they be
given correct weight. The company re-
fused to grant the increase of 5 cents
and strongly asserted that the weights
given the assorters were honest. Upon
refusal of the company to grant this in
crease the sorters walked out, and this
necessitated the laying off of the day
hands, thus making about fifty people
out of employment On Monday the
firm made an effort to arbitrate the mat
ter with the strikers, but the latter stood
firm in their demands and finally the
same were granted and all the old hands
resumed their places on Tuesday morn

women are employed and We were in

The limited pulled out from the
station as a dash OF sleet against the
windows gave warning of the increas-
ing storm. Agatha shivered as she
pulled the wraps closer about her
shoulders. Somewhere out in that
swirl of sleet and snow Dick Weldon
was breasting the storm, his dark
face darker still with the pain that
her words had inflicted. Even So let
him go since it had to be a question
of precedence between her love and
his profession. She recalled the night
that she had excused herself from her
hostess box party to remain at home
for Weldon's call, only to sit alone in
the deserted drawing room, and he had
not even troubled to send an excuse.
That was the beginning of the end.
Now her bridges were all burned and
every moment speeding her toward the
new life out there in the orient. Kath-
Arine Laird's invitation to go with
them to Japan had reached her at the
crucial moment-Japa dim, dusky
dream that all her life had lain just
over the border of possibility, and with
Katharine and Ellis of all people!
Katharine wrote that the appointment
was not of sufficient Importance to
count as a political asset; therefore
they would be safe to remain there for
years.
Then out Of the misty premises Of
the future came the memory of Wei
don's face when badly, brutally, with
out one softening note Of regret, she
had told him Of her plans and in the
next breath a conventional farewell in
the presence of the other guests. She
had built up the wall of injured pride
all too securely, leaving no loophole for
belated explanations.
The train settled down to the long
run through the open country, and the
twinkling lights Of villages swept by
like firefies through the stormy dark
ness. Loneliness engulfed her, and in
desperation she sought refuge in her
