ENGINEERS HEROISM
SAVES MANY LIVES.
Post and Prevents Serious Wreck
on Burlington Road

LA CROSSE, Wis, Nov. % Spe-
cial. Only the heroism of Engineer Ju-
Illus Severson of La Crosse saved the
lives of $50 passengers in passenger
and freight wreck at Portage Junction,
H., early today, according to a written
testimonial signed by all the passengers
and submitted to Supt. Cunningham of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road on the arrival of the train here.
The accident occurred to train No. At,
the heaviest on the Burlington line. AS
it drew near Portage Junction a freight
was noticed just ahead. Fireman Cater
jumped and was killed, but the engineer
at the risk of his life, stuck to his post,
applied the emergency brakes and sue
ceeded in considerably reducing the
speed of the train, which had been run
ming sixty miles an hour at the time,
before the freight was struck A half
dozen box cars were smashed and piled
onto the passenger engine, but when the
engineer was dug out of the debris he
was found to be uninjured. No pas
sengers were hurt, though thrown to the
floor from their berths by the shock.

and that no two of these are at all alike
except that they have milk in some form
as the basis Milk is the foundation
of all cheese. but the superstructure may

DOCTORS HIDE 4 LEPER
IMMIGRANT WITH ANCIENT DIS
EASE SAID TO BE HERE.
Physicians Study Symptoms and Try to
Find Medicine That May Cure
RavageS.
MILWAUKEE. Wis. Nov 23-19os

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Nov 23.-19OS.
A case of leprosy has been discovered
in Milwaukee.
Guarded by members of the medical
profession, an immigrant, bearing every
symptom OF the dread disease, is kept in
quarantine il Milwaukee that the phySi-
clans may study the disease, its ravages
on the human system, and possibly dis
cover cure. The physicians refuse TO
diyulge the hiding place of the victim,
and declare the city is safe, and that
no one will be exposed to the leper.
Though every effort to keep the case
a secret was made, the report of the case
leaked out today in an unexpected quar-
ter. Then the physicians refused further
information, fearing the leper might be
deported, and rob them of the oppOr-
tunlty for medical research and study
INTO one of the most battling of diseases,
with human victim as the material
According TO the report the victim of
lcproSy came to this country Il short
time ago. Then it was discovered he
was leper. 1t is not known whether
he had the atfiictiOn when he came TO the
United States, or Milwaukee,, or con-
tracted 1t in this country, or perhaps IN
the city.
Interested in the study of the disease
is q prominent Milwaukee druggist who
has a penchant for the study of medicine,
and who was admitted by the physicians
that the drugs necessary IN the fight of
the atflictiOn might be secured without
! betraying the secret.

LIFE HELD NO CHARMS
One Kills Self When Refused Permission
to Wed-Second Destroys Self
After Leaving Husband.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. %, (SpeciaD
Two opposite sides of life held out no
cheer to two Milwaukee suicides on Sun
day and Monday. One young man, re
fused permission to wed the girl of his
choice by his parents, drank carbolic
acid, while one young wife, disappoint-
ed with matrimony, also stamped finish
on she life.
The suicides were
Albert Schmitt. aged 10, 1903 Walnut
street.
Mrs. Florence Justman, aged 20, AT Ring
street.
To Schmitt, a life Of bachelorhood or
waiting until his parents would allow
marriage was a burden. He secured the
consent of the parents of his fancee, but
his own folks baked. Sunday morning,
Schmitt's mother found her son in bed,
his chin streaked with burns. A bottle
of carbolic acid told the means of death.
Goodbye everybody, perhaps some
body will be sorry" said Mrs. Florence
Justman, the wife of William Justman,
suicide at 1 o'clock Monday morning.
Mrs. Justman had not been living
with her husband since last June.
Mr.. Justman declares his wife left him
for an actor last June. The actor ap-
peared at Pabst park. Adolph Schardt,
who naQ spent ule evening Win MIS-.
Justman, was with her at the time she
took her life. He had told her he would
not call again.
II loved her and she loved me-" said
John Schardt, when asked about the sui
eide of Mrs. Justman. Il don't feel in
any way responsible for her act, but l
feel bad about it and almost like get
ting 10 cents worth of poison myself"
Schardt who lives at 1923 Sixth street,
had no hesitancy in telling of his friend
ship for the woman, but said that he
feared she loved him too much for her
peace of mind. He said that they be-
came acquainted on the street one even
ing, and since that time he took her re
peatedly for buggy rides. She had
money coming to her from an inherit
ance when she reached the age of u
years, he said, and they planned that
she would secure a divorce and marry
him.
Three or four months ago, while rid
ing with me-" he said, 'she had a pack
aged wrapped II a newspaper in her
lap. We were down town, but [ insist
ed on seeing what it was and found q
revolver with two cartridges. | threw
the cartridges over the Chestnut street
bridge into the river and left the gun at
n saloon. Later l threw that in a
sewer. Once after that l found she had
a bottle of carbolic acid, and l took
that away and threw the bottle into the
river.
Last night she cried and I tried to
cheer her up. We got to her gate and
[ stopped to tie the horse. She started
in saying, This is the last the old world
will see of me- I hurried to tie up
the horse and followed, but when I
reached her she was in the house and
had swallowed the poison. She died
while a monograph down stairs was
playing lively songs for a birthday par
". I'm awful sorry it happened, but
l couldn't help it. 1 did all l could"

City, Okla, writes:
"One bottle of Peruna which | have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of Cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians
had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as a last resort.
Il shall continue using it, as | feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and per-
n1anenf cure.
i most cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as Z last resort.
Doctors have been tried and failed. Other
remedies have been used. Sanitariums
have been visited. Travel has been re-
sorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is found.
This history is repeated over and over
again, every day in the year. It is such
results as this that gives Peruna its I'M
assailable hold upon the people. We
could say nothing that would add force
to such testimonials as the above. That
people who have had catarrh and have
tried every other remedy available, find
relief in Peruna, constitutes the best ar
gument that could be made

APPLETON MILL OWNER SAYS THAT
PRINT PAPER WILL BE AT

MILLS ARE NOT RUNNING.
No Prospect of Heavy Rain Before
Spring and Plants VIII Be De-
prived of Water Power.
PRICE OF PULP WOOD WILL JUMP.

APPLETON. Wis. Nov. 23.-[Spe-
cial. l-E. a. Edmonds of Appleton,
chairman of the Republican state central
committee. who is interested in a number
of pulp and paper mills in Wisconsin,
commenting on the report of the immi-
nent print paper famine in this country,
said:
Famine Is Imminent.
Yes, there is every possibility of a
famine IN news paper in this country,
and 1t will be no surprise tC me if Jan
uary l next sees a condition in the Unit
ed States the like of which has never
before been experienced here. We have
no right to expect much rain between
now and next spring, and without it
there Is an almost absolute certainty
that the water power streams of the
country will be practically dry by the
hrst OF the year. Wood pulp cannot be
maze without water power, except at
prohlbltlve prices. Steam power per
horse power is about five times as costly
as water power. Wood pulp is now sell
ing at about $50 per ton and if it were
made by steam power the price would be
about 500 per ton. If wood pulp
jumped to 500 per ton, print paper
II cents per pound, or about five times
It's present price
Mills Not Equipped.
But the insurmountable obstacle in
the situation is not so much the increased
price of wood pulp, but rather the fact
thai pulp mills, as a rule, are not
equipped with auxiliary steam plants and
for that reason cannot grind wood IN
less there is water power. True enough,
the mills could be equipped with steam
power, but that is an operation that
cannot be accomplished in a day, but
on the contrary takes weeks, and even
months. In the meantime the country
would be in the throes of a serious print
paper famine. In my Judgment, nothing
but copiOus rains, which seems almost
an impossibility, can prevent famine
in newspaper stock. Our mills on the
Wisconsin river are running at only
about half capacity and only half enough
wood pulp is being made to keep our
PRINT mills in operation. The same con-
dition holds true in the Fox river valley.
There is every reason in the world for
the gravest apprehension"

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. %
Capt Henry Lund Norwegian consul at
this port, yesterday received instructions
from Capt. Roald Amundsen, the ex-
plorer, to sell at auction the sloop Gjoa,
in which Amundsen made his famous
voyage of discovery through the north
west passage.
The sloop has been lying at anchor at
Mare island navy yard ever since it en-
tered this port after that eventful trip.
Consul Lund, who is an intimate friend
OF the explorer is also informed that the
latter proposes to undertake Il voyage in
search of the geographical north pole at
some not distant date, making the trip
in the steamer Fran, Capt. Nansen' s
ship, now the property of the govern
ment of Norway.
Amundsen states that he will outfit for
the voyage at this port, cruising to the
Siberian islands and thence into the I'M
known waters of the north in search of
the top of the world. Capt. Amundsen

OYSTER Shell Window Panes.

On the west coast of India is found
a species of oyster, Placuna placenta,
whose shell consists of pair of roughly
circular plates about six inches in di-
ameter, thin and white. At present these
oysters are collected for the pearls which
they often contain, although few are fit
for the use of the jeweler. But in the
early days of English rule in India the
shells were employed for window panes.
Cut into little squares, they produced a
very pretty effect, admitting light like
frosted glass. When the Bombay ca
thedral was built, at the beginning of the
Eighteenth century, it's windows were
paned with these oyster shells. In Goa
they are still thus employed.-Youth's

law firm, that of Miller, Mack & Fair
child
The company sets forth that the state
board of assessment made preliminary
determination Of the true cash value of
the plaintiffs property in Wisconsin as
81, 100000 to which the company objected
as being excessive. Later the value was
fixed for taxation purposes by the board
of assessment at $1,70OO00. Upon this
assessment the company was taxed S19,-
5T1.03 or equivalent to $11.51 per $1,000
of the value.
The state treasurer demanded payment
upon penalty of bringing suit. Last June
the company paid the tax under protest.
The company itself fixed its true cash
value at 5000, 543.75, Upon which basis
claim the tax should have been
$7523.74. 1t demands judgment for the
difference in the amount of the taxes
claimed by the state from the company
or $12,04729 with interest from June
%. 1908.
The company in its complaint also
alleges discrimination against it, assert
ing taxes were not levied equally and
sets up the contention that the law has
been applied contrary to the United
States constitution. The act of the
board of assessment is termed by the
plaintiff as an act Of the state of Wis
consin depriying the plaintiff of the prop
erty without due process of law.
