Police Court Rogues' Gallery Equip
ment Complete.

The much talked of installation of
Photographic apparatus in the police
department is at last a fact. The first
attempt was failure. The camera and
equipment were inadequate for good
work, so they were turned in on ex-
change for a better and more COM
plete apparatus. A nice plate camera
and dark room rugged up complete now
afford every facility for taking good
pictures for the rogue's gallery An
electric light, intensified by mirrors, is
used in printing from the plates. De-
tective Hutton is the artist and he has
taken some very creditable pictures.
Two carpenters, serving a term in Jail
for drunkenness are making cabinet

elaborate affair and win hold 1,500 pic

in such shape that any picture desired
can be readily found. Every suspicious
character and crook handled by the po-
lice will be photographed in two differ
ent poses and complete description

in every metropolitan police depart
ment. Chief Eaton is now thinking OF

PROSPECT FOR PEACE
At WALLA WALlA

A long period of trouble with the
men employed on the Walla Walla
papers has been terminated by the
withdrawal Of Percy G. Holland
from the publishing company. The
trouble eliminated with the strike
of the printers, who refused to re-
turn to work as long as Holland
was connected with the manage
ment. His latest adventure with
the printers developed when he at
tackled their committee with an iron
bar in the Office and was bound
over on charge of assault with a
deadly weapon.
In a long editorial Holland says
he leaves the paper without regret,
and lays all his troubles to Walla
Walla politics, without mention of
his differences with the men.
H. H. George, of the typo
graphical union of Spokane, who
represented the international in the
trouble at Walla Walla, has return
ed. With Holland out no more dis
satisfaction is expected.

One of the greatest problems the
portionless girl has to face is, that
of proper cOmpanionship.
BY "portionless" l mean that vast
army of young girls who have no
assured position in life; no fortune,
however small.
Some times these girls are found
working in large cities, sometimes
they occupy an anomalous position
in the homes of relatives, and some
of them live narrow lives in coun-
try communities.
Their desire for the society of
those socially above them may
seem a trivial thing on which to
build tragedy, but the tragedy is
there.
1t is this yearning for better
things, the craving for the com
partnership Of cultured and refined
people that draws the country girls
to the city, and leads the city bred
girl, poor but pretty, to accept the
attentions of wealthy young men
she meets in business way.
The spectacle of a working girl
whose only fortune is a pretty face
and that indescribable air of re-
finement gained by association, go
ing to places of amusement with
millionaires son, is common

w. g N. to Build to Amigo.

Elsewhere in this paper will b.
found legal notice-the first o
the kind ever published in Shaw
ano county that gives notice o
a hearing before the state rail
road commission on the 18th DAY
of November at which time tha
tribunal will be asked to give of
fetal sanction to the building o.
the spur from Niopet to Phlox
A certificate of public convent
ence is asked from the railroad
commission. The Wisconsin &
Northern railroad will be repre-
sented in this matter by the Law
firm of Wallrich, Dillett & Lar
son.
This extension is only the be-
ginning Of a branch line that is
to be extended next summer tc
Amigo. The road as now opsr-
ated is better than paying ex-
penses and when it reaches An
tigo and Crandon it should make
a still better showing.
So far the building of the Wis
consin & Northern has been fl
nanced by the sale Of stock, but
at present the cost of building
carried on by that
road has compelled them to is
sue one year notes. The borrow
ing power of these notes is en-
hanced by having bonds Of the
w & N. attached as collateral
to the extent of three fourths
the value of the notes. Six per
cent. interest is to be paid on
these one year debentures which
are practically a first mortgage
on all the property of the rail-
road company. The best proof
of the value of these notes is
that 100000 worth of them have
been taken over by the w. q N.
stockholders.
The reservation timber is esti-
at two billion feet and by
this wealth of timber
the finances of the w. & N. have
been brought out of the woods.
The road no longer will have to
request aid but is in position to
command financial support. The
connecting link between here
and Crandon. when once COM
pleted, should at once give de-
cided impetus TO both freight
and passenger traffic. CONNER
cial salesman at present have lit
tie to induce them to patronize
the new line except to visit Gres-
ham and that is largely made by
way of Lyndhurst. Gould the
travel of this class that includes
Shawano, Amigo and Crandon
on it's scheduled route leave here
1t an early hour in the afternoon
much patronage that now goes
10 the Wabeno branch and the
main line of the Northwestern
will be diverted to the w. & N.
Business conditions should be
the MOST favorable for the financ-
ing of railroad building in anoth-
er year. 1t is claimed by the
Amigo Journal that 81, 900, 900
will be borrowed to complete
and purchase equip
nent. Nothing is known by the
as to building south
from here next summer. That
IS the part of the system that
will make residents OF Shawano
feel a sense of Independence
from the Northwestern and will
Justify putting on airs as q rail
road center.-Shawano Journal.
