Enlisting mice as regular
part of the naval establishment
would seem rather a novelty, but
this is practically what is being
done. There was a glass jar of
little fellows at the navy depart
ment this week that had served
as part Of the irregular crew
of the Plunger, and nearly all of
the submarines, of which there
are several in the navy carry the
white mice almost as much as a
matter of course as they do the
other members eff the crew.
The mouse idea came originally
from the fact that sailors insist
on having mascots on all of the
war ships. Some jackey under
took to rear some white mice on
one of the submarines, the little
fellows being one of the few
varities of pets that the cramped
quarters could afford, They
were clean and cunning, and
could do no damage in the iron
shell full of machinery. But it
was soon found out that they
could be materially useful.
They are the quickest members
of the crew to detect and protest
against fumes and faulty gaso-
line tanks and pipes, The Of
fcers and men were quick to
recognize this trait. and the
mice spread to other submarines
in the service and now they are
looked upon as almost regular
part of the boats crew.

FISHERMEN DROWN
Two Old Bayfield, Residents
Drown Near Red Cliffe
Last Week.

A sad accident occurred near
Bayfield, this week when Gus.
Carlson and Gus Benson, two
old residents were browne d in
the channel between Red Cliffe
and Madeline island. 'lhe two
men were employed as fisher
men for the Jacob Johnson Fish
company and had left Bayfield,
Friday morning for Willey's is
land in a. sail boat. This was
the last seen of the men and it
was not known until Sunday
when the fish tug Harrow ar
rived from the island that the
men had met with some accident
on the way. The trip from Bay
field TO the fishing grounds takes
from three to four hours and
when the Jug men reported that
they had not yet arrived Sunday
it is thought that the beat either
capsized or sprung a leak and
went to the bottom with the men.
A searching party went over the
route taken by the men and the
only thing that was found to
confirm the belief that the men
had been drowned was fish
box and some nets which were
identified as belonging to the
men.
Carlson an d Benson we're men
about thirty-fve years old and
both leave families in the Harbor
City. Funeral services were
held Sunday in memory of the
men.

Notes From w ashington

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The story has been going the
rounds this week of the impend-
ing retirement of Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte from the Cabi-
net, is entirely without founda-
ton, at least so says the attor-
ney general and he aught to
know. Mr.. Bonaparte has not
been in good health for year
past, and he has been so suffer
ing from nervous troubles for
some months that he has been
away a good deal from the de-
partment of justice. But while
the enforced absence has some
what complicated his work: it
has not hindered it, and he says
that he does not feel the neces.
sity of resigning, but is hurt
that the story should have been
started.

II. & 3. Beers Cotton Letter to c. H.
Cothran Manauer

New Orleans. January 30.--This season s
cotton crop, whether or not 1t be as
large as the yield of 19o4-05, Is making his
tory by the establishing of new records
insofar as the movement Is concerned to-
date.
Receipts are running on so large scale
that this weeks insight promises TO figure
about 100000 against 100000 last year and
100000 year before last, which might prob
ably bring in sight to January 1000, 900
bales more than for the same time In
1905, with the probability of the excess
over said year figuring about 1,400,0 900 bales
by March 1, which no doubt will add
relatively to the worlds visible supply
in the meantime.

would take place In the statistical post

ter. we regret to say and ii is most
likely that sentiment abroad will be UNI

of cotton showing up at the American
ports, and as there will be no census

ment is issued, probably during the last
half of March. there will be no means
at hand to convince Europeans and spin
