TOOK THE FIRMS TRADEMARks.
Ingenious HoIIanders Put Minnesota
 Firm In a Hole.

A Minnesota Touring mill company has recently had an experience in Hol- land which will not only make it more careful in the future but will serve as a warning to other concerns to pay strict attention to the protection of its own brands of flour under the pecu- liar registration laws of Holland.
 For . number of years the company alluded to sold one concern in Am sterdam under one of its mill brands. a name made famous both in this coun- try and abroad by years of quality and advertising. and to another concern in Rotterdam, under another mill brand, also well advertised and generally known.
 Not long ago 1t occurred to the mill that 1t would be a good idea to regis. ter its brands in foreign countries, and it proceeded to do so. It then discovered that its Dutch correspond ents had both registered it's brand in their own names. It requested them to transfer the registration to the mill name. This was positively refused. Thus the mill is actually deprived of the use of its own brands unless it sells to the two concerns and no one else.
 Under the laws of Holland these former representatives could prevent the mill shipping flour to other parties under its own established brand.
 Other Minnesota mills have had the same unpleasant experience.

WALKED ON WATER.
Sixteen Hundred Miles for a Wager
 of $5,000.

New Orleans, Feb 11.-Captain Charles w. Oldrieve yesterday finish- ed the feat of walking the water from Cincinnati to New Orleans, a distance of 1,600 miles in forty days lacking forty-five minutes, thereby winning the worlds championship and bet of $5.000.
 Oldrieve met with an accident just before reaching the goal at the head of Canal street that nearly cost him his life. His big wooden shoes sud- denly slid outward and the water walker turned turtle. His wife, who accompanied him all the way in rowboat, rescued him.
 Oldrieve left Cincinnati January 1, at noon, on wager that he would not walk to New Orleans in forty days. At the falls above Louisville he was delayed for twenty-four hours. Oldrieve was in motion only during daylight. He was equipped with shoes made of cedar wood, four feet five inches long, five inches broad and seven inches deep. In a gasolene boat preceding the water walker were Captain J. w. Weatherington of Dal- las. Texas, who backed Oldrieve, and Arthur Jones, who represented Ed ward Williams of Boston, who laid the wager and lost his 5000.
