Within the past few days conflicting
reports have reached this city concern
inf A. S. Hawley, the well-known ce-
ment walk contractor, emanating from
hi& Baraboo home. The first was that
wAich appeared in the Milwaukee dali
lieslp the effect that Hawley had been
ari Ssted charged with having besses'
his wife to such an extent that she was
iAa precarious condition. All this has
been contradicted by second report
stating that Mrs. Hawiey accidentally
fell down the cellar steps at her home
but was at no time in serious condi-
tion, that Hawley, being found in a
state of intoxication, had been arrest
ed, but that his wife bailed him out
instanter. The whole is concluded by a
rutmor that Hawley has been placed in
sanitarium.

Matches are Costly.

Per the result of an investigation
which has been conducted by the state
FIRE marshal's department during the
last two months Wisconsin has paid a
penalty of $106,327 in sixty days for
using "red headed matches.
"The snap or so-called 'parlor varie-
ty is worthy rival for the lightning
bolt" declared State Fire Marshal T..
NJ. Purte)l in speaking of the recent re-
ports to that department. During the
last sixty days these reports show that
twenty-five fires in this state have been
directly due to these matches with an
aggregate loss of sl06, 327 in property
destroyed.
''Reports also show that while the
actual loss in property destroyed is
enormous there are other dangers and
damages incurred, which are Of even
greater Importance. In one case The
stepping OH one of these matches set
fire to the wearing apparel Of the per
son, causing serious burns and resulting
| in death. In another fire from the same
causc, factory was destroyed, throw.
ling over 200 men out of employment.
| "These conditions prove the wisdom
of policy adopted in some countries
requiring the registration of all manu-
| facturers Of matches, guaranteeing thu
tsafety of their product. While Their,
are matches on the market today whicl
]! are perfectly safe, the people are no
Uniformed as to which are the best. "
