A Narrow ESCAPE

Harry Anderson, an employee
of the Omaha railroad, had a
narrow escape from death last
Friday while at work in the yard
here. In some manner he fell
from the switch engine and his
foot was caught under the COW
catcher and quite badly hurt.
The engine had to be raised with
jacks in order to remove his
foot. The fact that the engine
was moving very slowly at the
time of the accident perhaps
saved him from very serious, if
not fatal injuries. The man. S
foot was attended to by DR..
Spears and he was taken to his
home at Chippewa Falls.

M. E. Church Notes.

Rev. U. S. Villars, Pastor OF the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
Superior, will speak at both services
at the Methodist Church in this city
next Sunday. March third. This
will give our people opportunity to
hear one of the strongest and most
eloquent preachers of the State, a
man whose platform work made him
popular thru out Illinois and Kan
sas where he labored until recently.
Rev. Villars is now President of
the Civic League of Superior, the
organization which has headed the
movement for reform which has re-
suited in such remarkable gains to
our sister city. He is therefore
peculiarly fitted to tell what has
been done and how it has been
brought to pass and will talk along
these lines at the evening service to
which all persons who have any in
terest in Washburn are cordially y in
vited.

A Lesson For Merchants.

There is a lesson for every mer-
chaht in the experience told by a
representative of Chicago mail or
der house to a gathering of news
paper men up in Iowa. He said
that the mail order business depend
ed entirely upon advertising. He
made one remark that merchants
should heed. He says they take the
local papers and directed their
special efforts to communities where
the merchants were not up-to-date
advertisers. If the mail order man
finds that any line of business in
any town Dr. city is not we'll adyer-
tised, as for instance furniture, he
said that they flood that territory
with their literature and always
with satisfactory results, He be-
lieved it true. He said that mer-
chants could greatly cripple the
mail order houses if they would ad-
vertise freely and in the right man
ner, He said that every advertise
ment should describe the articles to
be sold and state the prices. Here
is food for thought by merchan is
who fear the effect of mail order
houses. s.-Topeka Journal.

1t Will Undoubtedly be Created
Soon.
If Law is Complied With, Cir
cult Judge Must Issue
the Order.

The new town of Barksdale
which is to contain territory
taken from the town of Wash
burn will undoubtedly be digni-
fed by an organization as soon
as the matter can be brought be-
fore the Circuit Court. A. w.
Mcleod who is attorney for the
petitioners says that all petitions
and application are prepared and
that as soon as Judge Parish re-
turns the matter will be for.
mally taken up. Under the law
and the recent decision of the
Supreme Court the Circuit
Judge has no discretionary
power in the matter but must
grant an order for the creation
of the town upon a proper COM
pliance with the law. It is how
ever necessary to have a petit
tion signed by least a majority
of the resident electors, resident
freehOlders and homesteaders of
the territory. The territory
must contain at least fifty resi-
dent electors.
The law actually shuts off any
protest which might come from
anyone outside the territory, but
any person who is an elector or
taxpayer in the territory con-
tanned in the new town may ap-
pear and be heard There is
considerable opposition to the
new town, both by persons living
in the territory and outside it
and it is possible that the Gre
alton Of the town may be delayed
for some time.

MAIL ROBBED;
$1,000 STOLEN
REGISTERED POUCH CUT OPEN
EN- ROUTE TO KAMUELA, HA-
WAII, FROM HONOLULU.

United States Mail registered
pouch sent from the Honolulu post
office per S. S. Kinau on Tuesday last
has been rifled and $500 in coin stol
en-, the loss being discovered on ar
rival of the pouch at Kamuela post
Office, Hawaii after the postmaster at
Kawaihae had given a receipt for the
mail to the purser of the Kinau at the
latter place
The robbery is supposed to have oc-
Cured some tine after the mail bags
were landed at Kawaihae and before
they reached Kamuela, Waimea, Ha-
wall.
Two registered packages We're TAX
en-. One contained $1,000 from Harry
Lewis to the Hamakua Ditch Company
to pay employees and the other con-
tanned $500 from f, A. Schaefer Il
Co, to Honokaa. The former was in
sured with Bishop e Co. and the lat
ter with w. G. Irwin & Co.
Postmaster Moses Kok, Kamuela,
sent a wireless to Postmaster Pratt
here, notifying headquarters of the
loss. Later Lewis received a similar
wireless. While the postoffice author
tiles have already started the investi-
CATION machinery working, Postmaster
Pratt has today received no further
information. Inspectors Hare and Carr
are on Hawaii.
The Kinau reached Kawaihae We'd
nesday morning and there the steam
ship company received a receipt for
the delivery of the mail matter, cir
cumstapce which would seem to indi-
cate that the robbery took place be-
tween that time and the delivery at
Kamuela. A slash in a pouch it would
seem, would be observed while the
bags were being handled and receipt
ed for at Kawaihas.
Beyond a wireless from their agent,
William Mckay at Hilo, the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company has
no information concerning the rob
berry of the registered mail bag Upon

Having received this receipt from

CHILD TESTIFIES
AGAINST MOTHER
SAD FEATURE OF CASE NOW ON
TRIAL IN FEDERAL COURT
CHILD NOW AT SCHOOL.

In the case of Isabella Salamanca
and Nectario J. Luiz, charged with
adultery which was begun yesterday
in the United States court, the prose
cution has been introducing some very
strong testimony. This morning the
court and jury took hacks and drove
down TO Kakaako, at the corner OF
South and queen streets where the
scene of part of the offenses charged
against the accused is alleged to have
taken place, in order that the jury
might understand how the witnesses
had been able TO see what they claim
ed to have seen
A sad feature OF the case came out
this morning later when a bright IL
year-old daughter NJ the woman in the
case was placed on the stand to testify
against her mother. Matilda the
child, told a very Straightforward
story, after having answered very IN
diligently questions put TO her as 70
her knowledge of the nature of an
oath. She stated that while her faith
er, who is musician in the Hawaii
an band, was on the Coast with the
organization year OF more ago, Lux
was a very frequent visitor at her
home, usually at night, and that he
usually gave her mother liquor to
drink and spent the night in the
house.
The childs testimony had very
strong effect and the accused woman
tapped her foot on the floor nervously
and shifted in her chair during the
recital. The little witness is at the
present time living in the Kawaiahao
boarding school
