A newspaper stands between the puOlc and the players. Every day any sporting editor has not one but dozen or more fans ask 'Why don't you roast Blank or Blank?' If some players knew just what the fans thought of them they probably would not be so free and easy in their criticism of a sporting writer. And perhaps if the Times would follow the example of the other papers around the circuit and open up on the players who are seeking to disorganize the team by their perpetual growing, things might be different. Patience sometimes ceases to be virtue, and even worm turns ccasionally-Shrevepar Times.
 That's good line of dope.
 Montgomery is now at the bottom rung of the ladder on account of Birming- hams being relieved from a contest with Shreveport on account of rain. The bunch makes a strong under-pinning. but will yet win something.-New Orleans Plea yune.

Two Small Wrecks on the Central

The accommodation train from Alb
bOtsfOrd was wrecked this side OF
Sheldon Saturday night. The brake
rod on a tank car broke loose and
derailed the car, which rolled down
a high embankment. A box car
following jumped the track and, be-
ing uncoupled, stopped suddenly,
crushing in the front end of the pas
senger coach following, and then
rolled down the bank. The coach,
though disabled did not leave the
rails and by careful handling the
train crew managed to run to Con-
rath, where it was side tracked.
There were a number of passengers
bound for Ladysmth, but happily
no one was injured. The coach was
a new one which had only made a
few trips over the road. The oil
from the tank car ran down Skunk
creek, and the residents of that To-
cality have been bailing it out and
saving large quantities.
The same evening one of the work
trains was approaching the 500
crossing from the north just as a 500
freight was coming in, and the tower
man threw the switch which sent
the work train unto the sidetrack at
the freight depot. The train men
were not prepared for he move and
their train struck some loaded freight
cars with such force that two were
driven off the end OF the track. They
crashed through the sidewalk and
went clear across Worden avenue.
The wrecking crew was here Tues
day getting the ears back on the
track

Miss Nell Cosgriff, the telephone
girl, received a shock last evening
which was caused by a telephone
wire touching the main electric light

it made her sick but she is feeling

shock would have been more severe.

PUSHING ON
TO THE LAKES
Wisconsin Central Rushing Con-
struction Work.-indica atoms
for Double Track

The great outlay OF money in the
construction of the line OF the Wis
consin Central through this city to
| Duluth is certainly not being made
! without the expectations OF munif-
| icent returns. One frequently hears
visitors remark who have Travelled
over the completed road from here
to Owen, that it is the finest piece
of new road they have ever seen.
Built on nearly an air line, it is a
succession OF cuts and fills, with
scarcely perceiptable grades. II h e
infrequent curoes are so gradual that
the fastest train need not slacken
speed. In the twenty-five miles of
track laid north from this city there
are but five curoes.
The track-layers are now forging
ahead at the rate OF two miles per
day. Where the. Central crosses the
Radisson branch of the Omaha the
former will pass under the latter.
The track is being laid to the
west of the center OF the right-of- way,
and all stations are to be built on
the west side of the track Lady
smith being an exception indicating
that it is the intention to build
double track some time in the future
Long sidetracks are being put in
every few miles. How many +
these will be permanent is II o t
known.
The C. V. & n. have a small steam
shovel at work at Exeland grading
for a sidetrack to connect with the
Central, to enable the Arpin Lumber
Co. to get their logs to Atlanta from
farther north.
The sidetrack was completed last
Thursday to the gravel pit, which is
located about mile east of the main
line on the abandoned right-of-way
of the G. r. & N. % miles north of
this city. T he big 9O-ton steam
shovel arrived from the southern
part of the state and was set up at
the gravel pit Saturday, and is now
kept busy loading cars for ballasting
the new track.
Track laying was delayed again
last week until 800 feer of tressel work
could be completed aefGss Bass lake,
two miles north of the gravel pit.
While waiting for this the gangs of
men were kept employed in loading
cars with material in the Ladysmith
yards and the huge piles of rails and
ties, which line the track for mile,
are noticabiy diminishing. Every
sidetrack between here and the end
of the road is crowded with cars
loaded with material.

Study to Kill Microbes

The finely equipped laboratories OF
the bacteriology department at the
University of Wisconsin are to be
opened to the physicians of the state

purposes OF special study. This Ia

diseases which are being offered by

the study OF the opsOnicindex theory,
one OF the most interesting of recent
developments in the prevention and
cure of infectious diseases. The OPP
sonins DR.. Frost describes as the
"chili sauce for bacteria, preparing
them as food for the white blood
cells which absorb and destroy the
microbes. He has been studying the
theory and it's application to various
diseases in. the university Laboratories

BIG FIRE AT
BELDENvILLE
Ee!denviI.e Lumber Co. s. Yards near
Bruce Burned Tuesday Morning.
Loss about 5000

Nearly the entire stock OF lumber
in the yards of the Beldenville Lum-
her Co. one mile east Cf Bruce is in
ashes. All but six of the huge lum-
ber piles sotlth OF the planning mill
and west of the main road were con-
sumed by fire Tuesday morning.
The fire was first noticed by Cy
Alvey, the Bruce liveryman, who
was returning from trip to Lady
smith about q. IN. He noticed the
blaze when fOnr miles away and
whipped up his team. When he ar
rived on the scene no one was yet
astir. He gave the alarm, but the
fire had gained such headway that
there was small hopes OF saving any
thing. 1t had started about the
centre OF the yard and burued fiercely
until nearly noon, and it was by
heroic effort and a favorable wind
that the buildings were saved. The
company has hose to reach the build
fngs, but had only barrels of water
in the yards. The Bruce Fire Depart
ment rendered what assistance they
could with their meagre apparatus.
w. II. PierpOnt, treasurer of the
company, when interviewed for the
NeWs-Budget Tuesday afternoon,
said it was impossible at that time
to give any definite figures as to the
amount of the loss, but that it wonld
be in the nefghborhood Of $125,00
The stock burned was hemlock inch
and dimension stuff. Some thirty
different insurance companies share
in the loss, but to what extent could
not be learned. The Beldenville peo-
pie have been planning on more eX-
tensive logging this winter than any
OF the other mills in this section OF
the country and the fire will make
no difference in their plans.
While the origin Of the fire is be-
leiyed to be incendiary, no arrests
have been made. A gang of Aus
trians had been discharged at one
OF the company's camps the day pre-
yious and it is said that they were
dissatisfied with the settlement of
their wages.
Had the mills burned, it is a ques-
tiOn whether they would have been
rebuilt, and the loss would have
been Il serions one to Bruce, as they
give employment to many OF her
people.
The fire was very noticeable to the
early risers in Ladysmith.
