We called attention to the big ex-

the demand which is beginning to
move out some OF the big stocks
held here in Chicago. 1t was point
ed ont that the worlds situation is
strong, that local short sellers were

credit. The new spring wheat crop

CAN WRITE TO SANTACLAUS
Postmaster General Orders Yule.
tied MiSsiyeS Delivered.

Letters addressed to Santa Claus
actually will reach the renowned
philanthropist this year, instead of
being condemned to the dead-letter
office. The writer must not call him
Kriss Kringle, however. The icy
clutch of the dead-letter Office around
these tender missives of the Yuletide
has been pried off by Postmaster
General Meyer. A dispatch received
from Washington, d. G. Saturday
relates that an order has been
issued permitting postmaster through
out the country to turn over letters
addressed to Santa Claus to charit-
able persons desiring to fulfill some
Of the warnings Of those little writer's
whose parents are in poverty.
Mr.. Meyer announces in connec-
tion with the posting of his order
that postmasters may announce the
removal of the ban from Santa Claus
mailbag through the local papers.
The text of the order follows:
"Ordered, that hereafter and until
the close of the 1st day of January,
1908, postmasters are directed to de-
liver all letters arriving at their re-
spective postoffices addressed plainly
and unmistakably to Santa Claus,
without any other terms or express
sions identifying the person for whom
such letters are intended, to any
regularly organized charitable society
in the city or the town of address, to
be used exclusively for philanthropic
purposes. In the event that the
claim should be made by more than
one such society for letters so ad-
dressed such letters will be equally
divided, according to number between
or among the societies making such
claim"
1t was found that the name ''Kriss
Kringle" appears in various city di-
rectories, and it was decided in order
to avoid confusion and loss of letters
intended for persons of that name,
that the new regulation should apply
only to Santa Claus, who appears to
have no nameSake.

UNKNOWN WOMEN
ACTS STRANGELY
Is Ordered Out OF Town By Police

A strange woman, apparently
twenty-four or twenty-five years of
age, caused considerable uneasiness to
patrolman Gibson Thursday morning.
The woman called at the home of A.
Damon Wednesday evening and asked
if she could stay over night, saying
that she had come down from Junction
City on the noon train and intended
returning on the $50 train but had
missed it. She told Mrs. Damon that
she had no money or she would have
gone to hotel, so Mrs. Damon gave
her room.
Thursday policeman Gibson was
told OF the matter and he kept an eye
on the woman to see if she boarded
the train for the north but found
that she did not. She went into the
Wisconsin House and asked permis-
sion to use room in order to change
her Clothes but no signs of any other
clothing than that she wore was
visible. At this time policeman
Gibson accosted her telling her she
would have to leave town on the way
freight as he was of the opinion that
she was here for no good purpose.
She left as ordered. Nothing was
missed from the houses visited by the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1907-12-19

LIVED ALONE AND
DIED AS HE LIVED
Well-TO-D0 Sigel Hermit Found
Dead On a Pallet OF Straw Close
by His Stove.

All alone in his house on his farm
home in the town of Sigel, some time
between the hour of nine O'Clock Fri
day morning and four O'Clock Friday
afternoon, Martin Craven, an old
resident of that township, departed
this life The cause of death at the
present writing is unknown, and the
circumstances surrounding the case
are in measure very pitiful.
Craven is man fully sixty years
of age, and for a number of years has
lived alone.on his farm. For forty
years he has farmed in this particular
locality, and formerly he lived with
his brother and sister, who kept house
for him. Both died some years ago
and since that time he has lived alone,
the life of a hermit.
When his body was discovered life
less by a neighbor, it was found on a
pallet of straw close beside the fire.
Apparently he had been resting in his
bed room when the chill of death
crept over him, and in order to warm
himself he had crawled out of the
bedroom into the one large living
room, and laid himself down by the
stove. 1t was here, alone, he
answered the last call.
The quarters in which he lived
show the lack of care, but for this no
reason can be assigned, as it is be-
lieyed that the dead man was quite
wealthy. Thirty dollars in money
was discovered in the house, and this
it is believed, is only small portion
of what is hid some place in the
building. He is the owner of four
forties, and it is thought has other
means than are known.
Justice James Keyes, of this city,
was called to Sigel when the remains
were discovered, and empanneled a
Jury. Monday afternoon the jury
met and took the necessary evidence
to discover the circumstances sur
rounding the death. Death by natural
causes was the result of their delibra-
tion.
The remains were brought to the
undertaking establishment of j. f..
Ragan Saturday evening, and the
funeral was held Tuesday morn
ing from IS. Peters & Pauls Catho-
lie church. at 10 O'Clock, FIR. Reding
officiating.
James Rohan, Of this city, is a
cousin of the deceased, and the only
known relative.
