L. n. Grows House Burns,

The residence of L. N. Grow and it's
contents we're burned on Friday morn
ing at about 2:30 O'Clock. Mr.. Grow
was the only one of the family at
home when the fire was discovered
and was sleeping downstairs. He re-
turned from the lake at about mid
night, cooked himself supper and re-
tired to bed. At the time mentioned
he was awakened by the explosion of
shells which were on a stand in the
next room, and he then discovered
that the house was on fire.
The fire department was summoned,
but when it reached the scene the
flames had attained such Roadway that
it was impossible to subdue them.
At $50 O'Clock another alarm was
turned in from the same place. This
fire originated from few smoldering
embers which had been famed into
flame by the wind and was quickly
extinguished.
1t is supposed that the fire origi-
mated from defective chimney.
An insurance of 81, 400 was carried
on the house and $500 on the furni-
ture. The value of the house was
over $4,000 and the furniture 81, 900.

1t Cost Chris Two Dollars,

The other day DR.. Chris. Neumann
and Everett Hamilton were out in the
woods gathering medicinal herbs when
the horses, which were hitched to a
sapling, broke away and scampered
across the plains. Ten miles from
town were Chris. and Everett. AS
neither of them felt inclined to walk
that distance they proceeded to the
nearest farm house and induced the
occupant to give chase to the runa-
way. The farmer started with a fast
team and in the course of time re-
turned with the DOCTORS rig safe and
sound. "Here's two dollars," said
Chris, handing over the money to the
farmer, ''but where did you catch
them?" Sin your yard at Princeton"
replied the farmer. "Well, I'll be
dodgasted," replied Chris, II should
have known that and went home with
you'll"

Three Ages of Girlhood.

The three ages of girlhood were
illustrated in Stuyvesant square the
other day by trio of demure maidens
who walked abreast around the pretty
little park, where all the children of
the neighborhood play. The first,
a girl of about ten, pushed gocart
in which sat a two-year-old baby.
The second, a child of seven, wheeled

At Elk Lake Park.

The week has been a lively one at
the lake, many people from various
places taking advantage of the fine
weather to enjoy outdoor life.
Fishing has, been good and many
fine strings have been brought in,
twin city people making the biggest
catches. Since his last perilous ad-
venture Mr.. Pratt could not be in
duced to cast line-he has Rugged
the shore pretty closely.
The Sadleys and the Grows have
returned from their camping sojourn,
but many other people have put in
their appearance at the park. Until
the snow flies Mr.. Pratt's garden
spot will be a favorite place for
pleasure seekers.

CLASS OF FORTY-FIVE.
Children at st. Edwards Church on
Sunday Morning Partake of
Their First Communion.
Musical Program Especially Prepared.
by Mrs. Cooney Rendered >
in Excellent Manner.

A class of forty-fve children par
took of first communion at St. Ed
wards Catholic church on Sunday
morning at 1920, and so great was
the throng of people who attended the
ceremonies that the seating capacity
OF the church was inadequate to &C.
commodate them. The aisles were
filled with persons standing and up
wards of fifty were unable to gain ad-
mission to the sacred edifce.
This was by far the largest class
which has ever taken first communion
at St. Edwards and is a high testimo-
NAL to the progressiveness of Rev.
Father Levings, who, by his earnest
endeavors and kindly nature, has sue
ceeded in increasing the church IS con-
gregation from mere handful, fgur-
atively speaking, to number where
the building is of insufficient size to
accommodate the worshipers.
Rev. Father Levings' Sunday ad-
dress was directed particularly to the
young people advising them of their
duties to the church, their fellow be-
ings and themselves. It was a mas
terful address highly appreciated by
young and old.
A specially prepared musical pro-
gram was presented in connection
with the ceremonies consisting of
vocal solos by Mrs. H. G. Cooney.
Miss Lizzie Nachbar and Grover UNI
behocker and duet by Serenus
Skahen and Miss Lizzie Nachbar.
The numbers were impressive and ex-
cellently rendered. Mrs. II. G. Cooney
presided at the organ and also pre-
pared the program for the musical
exercises.
The altar of St. Edwards was very
prettily decorated with flowers and
vines,

WEST BRANCH PICNIC
More Than Thousand People Assemble
and Enjoy Annual Outing of
Creamery Association.
Dairy Commissioner e. K. Slater and
Prof. T. L. Hacker Deliver
Instructive Addresses.

Sunday was an ideal day for the
West Branch Creamery picnic and a
more picturesque spot than Uglem's
grove could not have been selected
for the holding of the same. People
commenced to arrive at the grove
early in the forenoon and by p. m.
at least 1000 had assembled on the
grounds. The Milaca band furnished
excellent music throughout the day.
The ladies served splendid dinner
to the invited guests-the table fairly
groaned under it's load of appealing
edibles. The refreshment stand did
rushing business all day and before
the shades of evening fell was COM
pletely ''cleaned QUIZ
Dairy Commissioner Slater and
Prof. T. 81. Hacker of the State Agri-
cultural School we're present and de-
livered instructive and interesting ad-
dresses on matters pertaining to
dairying. Mr.. Slater talked in the
forenoon and the U n O reporter re-
grets that he was not present to hear
him. The state never had more
efficient and practical dairy commits
sioner than E. K. Slater.
Prof. Hackers talk was brief but
pointed and abounded in common
sense. He advised the farmers how to
feed and care for their COWS to obtain
the best results. With proper care and
attention, he said, there was no rea-
son why the farmers could not in
crease the yield of butter fat of their
COWS from 80 to so per cent. He de-
scribed how they cared for the herd
of milk COWS at the school of agricul-
ture and the results obtained there.
he said better results could be OBJ
tanned by the farmers of Mile Laos
county than at the agricultural school
because the natural advantages were
all on the side of the former, that this
county, on account of its fine grasses
and clover and it's abundance of pure
water and good shelter, was peculiar
ly adapted to dairy farming. Mr..
Hacker concluded his splendid talk
by urging his listeners to stand by
their cooperative creameries.
In the afternoon the Milaca and
Foreston baseball mines played a
holly contested game which was wit
messed by hundreds of interested spec
tators. The teams were pretty evenly
matched as the score indicated-6 TOT
in favor of Milaca.
Mr.. Ole 81. Uglem acted as master
of ceremonies throughout the day and
right we'll did he perform the duties
devolving upon him. Buttermaker
Fox and his good wife, assisted by
other officers Of the creamery COM
pany and their wives and daughters,
exerted themselves to make things
pleasant for everybody. Viewed from
any standpoint it was the most profit
able and successful picnic in the his
tory of the association.

trip to Isle Royale in a power boat
early Sunday and says he hoisted the
union jack on top of the tallest tree
he could find. Young declares as the
rich copper island is north OF the forty
ninth parallel of latitude 1t belongs by
right to Canada. The u. S. has held
the island for century and 1t has
been part Of Michigan since the
present state boundaries were fixed.
Reports from Ottawa and Washing

pay any more attention to Young's act
than If he merely had hung his hat on
top of tree.
According to officials OF the state
department there has never been any
question between Canada and this
country as to the United States own
ership of the island. This was settled
by the treaty of Client.

Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands in the
United States district court, Chicago,
ined the Standard OIL Co. of Indiana
f29,240,000 for violations of the law
against accepting rebates from rail-
oads. The fine is the largest ever
assessed against any individuals or
any corporation in the history OF
American criminal Jurisprudence, and
s slightly more than 131 times as
great as the amount received by the
company through its rebating opera
lions. The case will be carried to
The higher courts by the defendant
company.
The penalty imposed is the maxi
mum permitted under the law and It
was announced at the end of a long
opinion in which the methods and
practices of the Standard Oil Co. were
mercilessly scored. The Judge, in fact.
declared in his opinion that the Off
Gals Of the Standard Oil Co. who were
responsible for the practices OF which
the corporation was found guilty,
were no better than counterfeiters and
thieves, his exact language being:
I'VE may as we'll look at this stu
alton squarely. The men who thus
deliberately violate this law wound
society more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
from the mails"
He viewed the facts in the case,
took up the arguments of the attor-
neys fof the defense and answered
them, and then passed judgment on
the company which he declared viola
fad hn lou Co. AI -
swelling it's dividends. He also held
that the railroads have no more right
to make a secret rate for a shipper
than a board of assessors would. have
to make a secret assessment of any
particular piece of property.
Judge Lands expressed regret that
the law failed to provide more serious
punishment than a fine. but insisted
that the penalty should be sufficiently
large to act as deterrent and not of
such a size as to encourage the often
der to persist in lawlessness.
At the conclusion of his opinion,
and after announcing the amount of
the fine, Judge lands directed that a
special grand jury be called for the
purpose of inquiring into the acts OF
the Chicago e. Alton Railroad Co., IL
having proved in the case just closed
that the oil company accepted rebates
from that corporation. This jury is
summoned for August IA.
This caustic reference to the rebate
system Of the oil company was re-
ceived with applause: when after
all the circumstances of the trial have
been brought out and the defendant
persistently maintains that the con-
stitution of the United States guaran-
tees to it the right to make a private
contract for a railroad rate, this court

able TO indulge in the presumption
that in this case the defendant was
convicted of its virgin offense" When
the reading had been concluded, Judge
lands turned to Attorney Starr and
declared that he was ready to hear
what he had to say.
Mr.. Starr said that 1t had been
promised that there would be a delay
In the execution of the judgment, but
the court denied this positively. AT.
ter some debate between the Judge
and the attorneys for the government
and the company, 1t was agreed that
the attorneys for the defense should
be given 60 days in which to file o
bill of exceptions.
The court is as anxious to have
this case taken to the court of ap.
peals as anybody" said Judge Lands,

be given. 1t must go to the higher
