creased hotel accommodations?
The business man, the man OF
affairs, the man who is looking
the future and who sees the steady,
daily growth of this city, will answer
the question in the affirmative some.
local hotel men may say mo because
the hotel business is not quite 50
facinating as may appear to those
unfamiliar With the ups and downs
of the business, and they fear. II
there is any marked increase .of
hotels, all will suffer in consequence.
But to the man who realizes that
this city is putting on metropolitan
airs: that its population is being add
ed to daily: that confidence has been
restored in the nation and as result
there is greater tourist travel better
business opportunities. and in fact that
this city is attracting attention from
all over the country the announce
ment that new hotels of modern ds-
sign and equipment are to be erected
Is hailed with delight
OF course there are periods Of tune

FINDS GAR A PRISON
SPARTA RAILROAD AGENT CUTS HIS
WAY TO FREEDOM.
When Heavy Doors Blow Shut Roy
Clark, Imprisoned, Makes Desperate
Fight for Life and Wins.

SPARTA, Wis, Feb. 1.-[Special. /
Roy Clark, freight agent for the Chicago
& North-W estern railroad at Sparta,
went into refrigerator car in the
freight yards to see about the heater and
while there the wind blew the heavy
double oak door shut with such force
that the big iron fasteners were shot
into place, and Clark found himself Il
prisoner.
The air in the car was very dry and
warm and his position became very I'M
comfortable. He tried to attract atten-
ton by shouting, but the thickness of
the walls made his efforts fruitless.
Realizing that to remain in the car any
length OF time meant certain DEATH he
tried to cut a hole through the door
with his pocket knife, but found that
the big oaken doors were too thick and
strong.
He found heavy beer key with which
he battered the door. After an hour
and a half of alternate battering and
cutting with his knife, he succeeded in
etfecting a small hole through which he
thrust his arm. He found that he could
reach the lock and withdrawing the
bolt succeeded in getting to the ground,
but was in such a weakened condition
that he could scarcely reach the depot.

STATE REFUNDS TAXES.
Frear's Statement Reveals That Counties
Got Back More in 1907 Than
They Paid in 1905.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 1.-Secretary
of State Frear has prepared statement
giving facts and explanations of the
state tax levies fer the current year.
The state tax levy for 1906 was linn
tied to one-half Of the tax ordinarily lev
led for common schools and amounted to
$G43, $50 All other taxes were RENTED

way taxes Of $2,673,771.12, insurance
tax and fees amounting to $500, 1861
and smaller sums derived from inherit
ance tax, licenses, corporations and 9th
er fees.
During the same period the total state
disbursements from the general fund
amounted to 1854 655.7O, or 100000
in excess of the receipts. These dis
bursements included 1919 .46 paid by
the state for maintenance of charitable
and penal institutions, together with in

der specific legal provisions. These items
covered the cost of maintaining the state

rect appropriations by the Legislature,

required by law to be paid out of the
general fund for common schools, and

POOL USURPS ORATORY.
Society Halls at Lawrence University,
Hallowed with Memories, Convert

APPLETON, Wis, Feb. .--[Special1
oh Tempora! Oh Mores We are in

Samuel Plantz, head of Lawrence uni

These rooms are two in number and to

NEW YORK. Feb. A wire

the Steamship St. Cuthbert. Soon after
the Cynric sighted the burning vessel
the steamer Cambrian also came up ana
the two ships lay by for several hours

On the last trip, the boat was stove N

Tell Terrible Story.
The officers and crew Of the st. Cuth-
bert had a terrible story TO tell. At mid
day Saturday the fire was first dlscov-
cred smoke being seen emerging from
ventilator. Then terrible explosion oc-
Cured, blowing off all the matches in the
forward part of the ship and destroying
half the bridge. The captain was thrown
to the deck, badly injured and blinded by
the flames. The wheelsman was driven
away from his post. A boat was immedi-
ately lowered, but was smashed and its
crew of fifteen, including the third Of
tcer, were drowned.
Stowaways Roasted to Death.
For thirty-six hours the crew fought
the flames, but with small success. The
foremost melted and fell, throwing a
stowaWay, who was hidden in the crows
nest, into the flames, which had by this
time burned through the forward deck.
Nine stoWaWays on the ship were caught
in the forward holds and burned to
death without chance of rescue. After
the fall of the mast the fire was par
TALLY checked, but the poisonous fumes
Of oil made fighting the fire almost inn
possible. The ship was loaded with flu
sci oil, rags and other infammable ma
terial.
All the rescued members of the crew
were cared for on the Cymric, and, al
though many of them are badly burned,
it is thought they will recover.
The St. Cuthbert was bound from
Queenstown to. Boston and burned in
midsea.

This gentleman also wrote learned

mouse soup, dormouse sausage, dor

for this delicacy In prize sizes was so
great that there was room for book
on the subject, though unfortunately
this book Is lost to posterity, and the
only knowledge which we have Of the
fattening Of dormice in Rome is from
Petronius Arbiter, who tells us that
they became fat by sleeping.
He also tells us that the best sauce
TO eat with dormouse is a mixture Of
poppy seed and honey, mixture
which probably had the merit Of inc
ducing sleep after meal.

colt by organized labor was held today
in a decision by the supreme court of
the United States in the case of Loewe
4 Co., hat manufacturers of Danbury,
Conn, vs. Martin LaWlor and 200 other
members of the United Hatters' union ct
that city.
The decision of the court was all.
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller and re-
yerSed the holding of the United States
circuit court Of appeals for the Second
circuit.
Employer Demands Damages.
The suit was instituted by Loewt. X
Co, in the United States circuit court
for the district of Connecticut. The
company, alleging damages by a boycott
against their factory to the extent Of
$4,000. asked for a judgment for $40
600 in accordance with the terms of the
Sherman act. Not only the members Of
the Hatters' union, but the American
Fedora ton OF Labor of which the union
is a subordinate organization, was includ.
ed in the bill. In the complaint it was
alleged that the labor organization had
undertaken to compel the manufacturers
to unionize their factory, as a large ma
jority of other hat factories in the
United States had been forced to do, and
it was asserted that when they failed in
this effort the union hatters withdrew
and induced other employees to do so.
Boycott Is Declared.
This act was followed by the declara-
ton of a boycott against Loewe's hats
wherever they were found, and as the
firm controlled an extensive trade
throughout the country the boycott eX-
tended to many states, which in the
language of the bill constituted a COM
bination to limit and restrain Interstate
commerce.
