MUSSER'S MILL BURNED
So ,OOo Loss with NO insurance.
Will Rebuild

gThe saw mill owned and operated
by w j Musser, three miles north
of this city, was burned to the
ground about 10 o'clock Wednesday
night, together with the boarding
house, two lodging houses and barn
adjoining, and a large quantity OF
lumber. Just how the fire started is
mystery, but it is supposed to
have been somewhere near the smoke
stack. About 8 o'clock A. Wilson OF
Munroe, who slept in the mill, made
his regular rounds before retiring
and Il half hour later everything
was on fire and Wilson was quite
severely burned In escaping with his
trunk. The men in the lodging
houses, some of whom had not re-
tired, discovered the fire just as 1t
burst into blaze but it burned so
rapidly that they had difficulty in
saving the horses from the barn and
could not return to get the harnesses.
Many people from town saw the
fire and together with the neighbors
succeeded in saving only about %, 900
feet of lumber. All the machinery,
withwhich this mill was particularly
we'll equipped, was damaged beyond
repair. Mr.. Musser estimates his loss
at $4,000, with no insurance.
Undaunted by this misfortune, Mr..
Musser will begin at once to rebuild
the mill on the old site.

An article In tLr Milwaukee Free
Press, concerning the Ladysmith
bank trouble, says:
U. S. District Attorney Wheeler, in
his conduct of the bank failure at
Ladysmith, which took place a year
or two ago, the Free Press is in
formed, has acted throughout in all
the steps he has taken on the advice
and with the approval OF the attorney
general and of the receiver.
There is no knowledge here OF any
foundation for charges filed at
Washington by Father Schell,
Catholic priest, but persons familiar
with the bank failure and subsequent
proceedings say that District AttOr-
ney Mheeler's action throughout has
been directed and approved by the
receiver and tke Washin ton
authorities in the interests Of the
depositors, and they feel confident
that if there should be any official
investigation, it would entirely
vindicate him.
The bank has paid so cents on the
dollar to depositOrs, although at
first it was thought that they could
not get more than 30 cents.
Janesville dispatch says that
Judge Sapborn sanctioned the
temporary with drawal of the COM
plaint In order that offending partits
might be compelled to restore some
of the bank funds misused.

FRIENDS DEFEND
WHEELER'S ACTS
They Say u. s. District Attorney Will
Prosecute Bank Wreckers on
Sufficient Evidence

Following a resume of the charges
made by Rev. Father Schell OF Tony
against w. G. Wheeler, U. S. Dist.
Attorney, for failure to prosecute the
wreckers of the First National Bank
OF Ladysmith, the Beloit Free Press
says:
Close friends of Mr.. Wheeler in Be-
lott were vigorous in his defense to-
day. They say that 1t is only case
of disappointed depositors who have
failed to get their money from the
wrecked institution and are now try
ing to blame the government officers
for not actually hanging the guilty
parties. "'The district attorney can
only act on such real evidence as can
be obtained" said one friend of Mr.
Wheeler today, "and while probably
many OF the people and the officials
themselves would like to see the de-
faulters in prison for long terms,
they can only proceed on whatever
evidence is produced to them. Ii
these people have more discriminating
evidence 1T Is their duty to give it to
Mr.. Wheeler and not complain that
he is not moving aggressively enough
as the prosecutor. He will act vigor-
ously enough all right ii they have
real evidence against the men,"

Texas is now about to put up the
bars against consumptives. The Gov
ernor is to issue a proclamation de-
claring tuberculosis to be contagious
and notifying the railroads that it will
be a statutory offense to transport cor
sumptives into the State. Those who
may be brought into the State will be
subject to deportation. Texas is the
biggest State in the Union. 1t has a
gross area of 2e5. $50 square miles. New
Jersey has only 1915 square miles, or
about 8 per cent. of the area of Texas.
It would seem that the great South
western State. big enough for an en-
pire. with its many thousands of miles
of undeveloped territory, ought to have
as much room for the consumptive as
New Jersey a We wouldn't tolerate
such a law in this State. Instead, VIC

A CANDIDATES. HAND1cAps.

Judge Vroom. of Trenton, whose
name has been projected into the politi-
cal arena for the Democratic candidacy
for Governor, is embarrassed by the
fact that he holds two offices, as judge
of the Court of Errors and Appeals
and reporter of the Supreme Court,
and also because he is president of
the board of managers of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton,
the management of which is now in
the limelight. The Hoboken Observer
perceives another handicap to Judge
vroom's candidacy.
Judge Vroom," says the Observer,
sis known to hold views on the sub
ject of excise and saloons that Pc
culiarly unfit him for standard bearer
of the Democratic party in most of
the counties of the State. particularly
this year. He has been a law and order
man of the most pronounced type"
But then it should be borne In mind
that the nomination of Judge Vroom
has thus far been confined to a single
ward down in Trenton.

NO srAR-cHAMpEn CONFUSION.

We fully agree with the Trenton
Times in saying: THE new Railroad
Commission is not making a promising
start by holding its meetings in secret,
and the public is likely to become ven
more suspicious If that policy is con-
tinued. AS a general proposition the
proceedings OF all public bodies should
be open to the people whom they repre-
sent. This is particularly true of the
Railroad Commission"
If a disposition 4s shown by the new
Railroad Commission to hold star
chamber sessions the life of the present
commission will be brief. 1t won't out
last the next Legislature, granting that
it survives the present one The people
of New Jersey are not altogether trust
full of this commission, which is now on
probation. An appearance of weakness
or subserviency. or concealment of its
proceedings, will inculcate a popular
feeling against the commission that will
find expression in legislation next win
ter. Let the State Railroad Commits
sion be open and above-board In all
that it does.

CALL THE MANAGERS TO ACCOUNT.

An astounding condition of affairs is
revealed in the State Hospital for the
Insane at Trenton. where about sew
enty patients have contracted typhoid
fever, with fatal results for several
victims. When the epidemic broke out
the hospital managers concealed It as
long as they could and then made de-
ceptive explanations of the cause. When
the disease spread in the institution
of contracting it the Trenton Board of
Health became alarmed and summoned
the State board.
An investigation showed shocking
sanitary conditions and revealed the
true cause of the epidemic. due to
the gross neglect of the management.

gist of New York, now reports upon the
conditions he found in the dairy es-

Clintock's comment in his report is that
it is deplorable that such a state of
affairs should exist at this civilized
period. Every filthy condition attended
the production Of milk, and the cans
were washed in the water of a tainted
well.
For the maintenance of this institu-

a scientific plan. with every care as to
hygiene and sanitation. 1t Is now
shown that it is a veritable pesthouse.
The responsibility is upon the board of

shall be sternly held to account.
