A Real Humorist.

] have Just listened TO a real hum
orist real humorists are rare Those
commonly miscalled such are only ped
dlers OF humor. they give 10 others
what they have received, not what
they originated. These retailers Of
humor ill certain place in the ly-
cenm but their greatness must not be
overestimated They retell the stories
they have heard others tell some OF
them do it effectively IL Is very
common thing to have TO listen 20 a
so-called lecture, which Is only a
string Of stories, put together with as
little Conference as the plot Of comic
opera. Many of the devices by which
the stories are introduced into the
thread of narrative or discussion are
senseless as they are inexcusable. More
than this, the teller is often a plagiar-
ist and falsifer He not only takes
other peoples stories without giving
credit. but what Is palpably false tells
them as personal experiences.
All this Is by way OF contrast to

AUTHORITIES ENFORC-
ING TRUANCY LAW
MAN JAILED FOR REFUSING TO SEND
CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.
MANY WARRANTS TO Be ISSUED
School Board Will Daily no Longer With
Parents Who Refuse to Obey the
Truancy Laws.

Valentine Clement has wholesome
regard for the state truancy laws. he
acquired his regard within the last
two weeks Before that time ne openly
boasted that he was above the law
His change Of heart was brought about
by couple of days In the county Jail
IL happened this way. Valentine has
two sons of school age. The father
thought that the little fellows should
begin at AN early day to earn their
way through life and inetead Of send
ing them TO school and taking advant-
age OF the large expenditures tlat the
school authorities have made for the
benefit OF Crystal Falls children, he
sent one TO work on the section and
the other to work in the factory.
Truant Officer Massie made com

was brought before Judge Dawson and

promise 10 send his boys 10 school

with the law and it was brought to the
ears OF Judge Dawson that Valentine
had expressed himself as not holding
the highest respect for the law.
A week ago Saturday second war

man late in the evening. so late that
the Judge informed him that il was
after banking hours" and that he
would have TO stay in Jail until court

During his incarceration, Valentine

Ask for Lower Prices.

The Iron Trade Review for this week
says
Tho most interesting development Of
the week in finished lines was the ac-
tion Of the agricultural implement
manufacturers in appointing a com
mittee TO endeavor to obtain conces-
sion OF S2 per ton On the price OF steel
bars for their annual contract for the
year ending June /, 1905. Manufact-
urers state emphatically that no con-
cession viii be made. The dissatisfac-
tion caused among other buyers of
steel bars last year when a reduction
OF s. per ton was made TO agricultural
interests and the great demand for all
kinds OF finished materials this year
tend TO make the sellers firm in their
position.
"The purchase Of 5000 tons of Bes-
semer pig iron by the Carnegie Steel
company for March delivery at seq
valley furnace indicates that the ont
put OF the Carnegie furnaces Is still in
adequate and II is expected that fur
ther purchases will be made provided a
satisfactory price is made. Sales OF
about 75. 900 tons of southern pig iron
are reported and in. spite Of some
weakness in the Chicago market the
southern product is strong. Transac-
tions in northern foundry pig iron are
not numerous but the market Is firm.
Careful investigation concerning
the position Of the railroads has shown
that reports OF retrenchment are much
exaggerated.

MORE DEALERS PULLED
Three Saloon Keepers Arrested During the
Week for Wholesaling


Complaint was entered by the general
committee during the week against
Chas. Camilla Alex Dalpra and
Sylvester Challancin for violating the
liquor laws.
The arrests were the outcome OF the
crusade against peddling instituted
last month and occurred from mis-
understanding Of the law and Of the
agreement entered into by the dealers
and the committee. IL was agreed at
the time Of the general meeting that
no complaint would be entered against
a dealer should he sell not more than a
keg of beer 20 a person VINO came TO
the saloon, purchased IL there and took
it away The Recla case WAS brought
and Mr.. Recla naturally felt that If he
was penalized for an infraction of the
law that others should be held TO a
strict accounting and made complaint
to the committee against the dearlers
mentioned. No committee can give
"a man permission 10 break the law and
so they had TO act upon the informa-
tion or stand in the light of having
prosecuted Recla and this they did not
care TO have charged up to them so
complaints were made.
The three dealers made no fight.
They stated that they violated the law
through misunderstanding and that
they had no kick because they were
complained against.

Mrs. J. II. Jessen attened the mar
rlage Of her brother. Elmer Olson. TO
Miss Agnes johnson. both Of Home
stead, Wis, last Saturday night and
has an interesting story to tell of the
affair.
IL seems that a marriage license was
secured at Iron Mountain, Homestead
being but few miles from that city
on the Wisconsin side Of the river.
The guests were all on hand and the
minister ready 10 preform the ceremony
when he found that There would be
some question about the legality of the
marriage should he proceed in Wis
cousin under a Michigan license. The
only alternative was for the contract
ing couple, the minister and witnesses
10 drive to the Michigan side Of the
river. six miles distant in a binding
storm 10 tie the knot.
Two sleigh loads Of people were
bundled up and when they arrived at
the river they drove over the middle
Of the bridge, the minister alighted
from his rig while the contracting
couple sat in the sleigh. Thus the
marriage vow was given in legal form
and the party returned to the house

casion the guests amusing themselves

ALL TALK
Northwestern Officials say That the Change
OF Trains is Newspaper Talk.

The rumored change in the running
Of passenger trains on the North
Western road has ELECTED great deal
Of comment here. especially among the
railroad men who are the ones most
directly interested as several would
have 10 leave homes which they own
in this city should the arrangement
mentioned be put into effect.
One of those interested approached
Assistant Superintendent Armstrong
one day during the week TO ask about
the matter.
The official stated that there is
nothing to IL" more than the talk
which has been going on in the news
papers Of the peninsula
In connection with the Crystal Falls
Powers train matter II has also been
rumored that the Menominee- Mil
waukee train which, several years ago,
was run through to Iron Mountain will
be put back on the long run again.
Another rumor has this train scheduled
TO run TO Escanaba instead of Iron
Mountain.

HOLLISTER MAKES
A GOOD SHOWING
FINE VEIN or ORE CUT IN THE PRE-,
SENT DRIFT.
g RUSHING WORK ALL AROUND
Crystal Falls Mines Win be in Condition
to Make Biggest Output in History
Next Season.

The Hollister mine, long abandoned
as unpromising. but recently acquired
by the NJ. A. Hanna interests. is prov
ing 10 be valuable property. Even
at the present depth a fine vein Of ore
has been cut and the indications in the
present drift are that the ore is in
quantity.
Holliser ore was always good stuff
and that cut by the present drifting
operations Is not inferior 10y any
means.
The ore was cut in a drift to the
east on the same level that the old
workings were located on and drifting
and crosscutting Of the find is being
prosecuted In order TO determine what
IL amounts 10.
The property is under the manage
ment Of Frank Scadden and the under
ground work is under the direction Of
Robert Phillip.
One OF the healthy indications out
there Is the establishing OF soap rock
wall, condition that does not exist in
many OF the properties Of the district
and one that is always looked upon by
miners az a very healthy sign.
The mine will be in the shipping list
the coming seasons bat it will be a
season or two yet before she will be
fully developed for big work
HUsTLING EVERYWHERE.
At all Of the mines Of the Crystal
Falls district work is being pushed
vigorously getting ready for a phen-
ominal output the coming season.
The Tobin, Bristol, Great Western
and Crytal Falls mines are hoisting ore
rapidly and the Armenia is also getting
squared away for the biggest output
in its history.
The Kimball shaft is down the new
lift aud two weeks will tell very much
about the future Of that property as
the drift is now being driven to ex-
plore the ore body at depth that
ought TO tell whether the mine will be
a big property or not All indications
heretofore have been that il will be
big property.
At the Fairbanks the surface i'm
provements are being made so that the
mine may ship when the season opens.
The new shaft house Is completed ana
the crusher and pocket are now being
erected.
The Dunn will make big showing
this year. Il not the biggest in it's
history.
The Mansfield Is not being pushed as
the ore will not be dem lnded for some
time yet and the property is developed
several levels ahead
NEW OPERATORS.
The district will see at least two
new corporations working here the
coming season. The Zimmerman in
terests have the Kirby Carpenter lands
to explore and the refusal Of an option
on the Bird mine which they will pro-
baby acquire. The Bird is a promis-
ing piece OF property.

SURVEYORS WORKING
CITY YESTERDAY
Quite Probable That They are
Connected With New
lnterurbdn,
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Strange surveyors were at work IN
the city yesterday and to all appear
ances forward steps were being taken
in the performances to the construction
of the new interurban line.
Telephone communication last
evening with w. G. Stone. who is
interested in the promotion, brought
the information that he was unaware
that any surveyors connected with
his company were in WatertoWn.
He added that it might be posaible,
however, for they were expected
at any time and might have arrived
yesterday and began operations with
out his knowledge.
In his interview with The Leader
last evening, Mr.. Stone stated that
work was now progressing between this
city and Oconomowoc. The work so
far has consisted of making cuts to
avoid heavy grades. Active operations
will soon be on and it is given out
that the line Will be In operation be-
tween here and Milwaukee late in the
fall

five CENT THEATRE
OPENED LAST NIGHT
Three Performances Given
and Good Crowds Attend
Gave Satisfaction.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Hero's five cent theatre was thrown
open to the public last evening. Three
performances were given and there was
a good attendance at each of them.
In fact at the first, there was such a
crowd that it was necessary to turn
many away to await the later perfor-
mances. The entertainment consisted
of illustrated songs and moving
pictures, which were very good ard
well worth the price of admission.
Those who patronized the new enter
prise last evening were we'll satisfied
and no doubt the theatre will become
permanent institution. 1t is the
intention of the management to en-
large the scope of the proper encour-
agement is extended and later put on
a vaudeville performance at reasonable
prices.
