Much speculation has been in evil
dence of late regarding the water
supply of the city and there seems to
have been general impression that
the water was being taken from Cob
bosseecontee instead OF from Garlic
ton pond. the regular source of the
supply. many basing their belief on
the fact that there is different taste
to the water than was apparent earlier
in the season What slight taste there
is to the water is of vegetable origin
and in no way harmful. and as re
CARDS the water which is flowing
through the pipes not an ounce has
been pumped from Cobbosseecontee.
as there has been no need OF IT.
Carleton pond has a head of II feet
OF water from which to draw the city :
supply. and Notwithstanding the Sc
we're drouth which has prevailed at
two periods during the season the
water in the pond has been drawn
down but four feet. leaving eight feet
in reserve.

Youthful Pair Scared Out OF Court

court from the fathers orders that their
courtship cease. The girl claimed that
she had been ill-treated when she refused
to give up her lover and the boy was tell
ing the court that he would protect her

recognized by the pair, sent them in
flight Refused warrant for the arrest

SAWYER COUNTY IN FLAMES.
Inhabitants Fight Back Fire at
RRdisSOn Winter and Draper.

Thousands of feet of logs and standing
timber have been destroyed, clearingS have
been devastated and settlers driven from
their homes by the forest fires that have
been raging throughout Sawyer county
The towns of RadissOn, Winter and ORA
per have been fighting the flames back.
and although property within the villages
has been saved from destruction the loss
to the lumber companies will be heavy.
The most thrilling fight that the inhabit-
ants of the town engaged in was the fight
to save the Wallace school and the cOrdu-
roy bridge across the Chippewa river. The
fire was eating its way up from the south
when the alarm was given and the entire
population turned out to save the school
house. The buildings surrounding the
school were damaged, but after hours OF
incessant fighting the school itself was
saved. Equally as exciting was the fight
put up by Frank Shimcusky and his wife
and daughter to save the corduroy bridge,
the only span across the Chippewa river
at Radisson, and had it not been for
their efforts the town would have been
deprived of its roadway across the river.
While the owner was out fighting the
fires, the farm belonging to A. Rynda was
burned. lumber yard adjacent to the
house was destroyed, but the sawmill was
saved after hard fight. III. A. Sweeny
lost his house and barn and all his house
hold goods. The Edwards farm is devas-
tated. Families to the south of Raids
son are moving their effects near the river
TO be ready in case the fire sweeps down
upon them unexpectedly.

as a result Miss Cavanaugh held light
while Cheney attempted to bail out the

line the man and two girls were blown
overheard into the river. In aiding in
rescue, Lillian Taube, another of the par
ty, was also pulled into the river and the
four had close call from drowning. Miss
FitzgeraId's hair caught fire and she was
badly burned about the face, while Cher
ney's hands are seriously injured.

CLASS IN MANNERS
Instruction for the Shy and Awkward
in Old Time Southern Schools.

Instruction for the Shy and Awkward
in Old Time Southern Schools.
The father of Alexander H. Ste
phens, the vice-president of the Con-
federate States, was an "old field"
teacher, and one of his schoolroom ex-
ercises. which the pupils called learn
ing manners" evidently made a deep
impression on little Alexander, writes
Louis Pendleton in his biography of
the statesman. The plan was no less
admirable than quaint.
1t is related that about once
month on a Friday afternoon, after
the spelling classes had got through
their tasks, the boys and girls were
directed to take seats in rows fac.
ing each other. Then the boy at the
head of his row would rise and walk
toward the centre of the room and
the girl at the head of her row would
do likewise.
AS they approached the boy would
bow and the girl drop courtesy, the
established feminine salutation of
those days, and they would pass on.
At other times they were taught to
stop and exchange verbal salutations
and the usual formulas of polite in
quiry.
These exercises were varied by
meetings in an imaginary parlor, the
entrance, introduction and reception
of visitors, with practice in common
place chat
Then came the ceremony Of intro
auctions. The parties in this case
would walk from opposite sides OF the
room in pairs, and upon meeting, af-
ter salutations of the two agreed upon,
would begin making known to each
other the friends accompanying them,
the boy saying, "Allow me, Miss Mary,
to present to you my friend, Mr..
Smith. Mr. Smith, Miss Jones" Al
ter Miss Mary had spoken to Mr..
Smith she would in turn introduce her
friend.
These exercises, trivial as the de-
scription may seem, the vice-president
of the Confederacy says, "were of
great use to raw country boys and
girls, removing their awkwardness
and consequent shyness and the pain
full sense of being at disadvantage
or the dread of appearing ridiculous"

MAN JUMPS UNDER TRAIN.

Section Hand Refused Job on Ac-
count OF Age Commits Suicide.
Informed that he was too old to work
for the Wisconsin Central railroad, Geo.
Osborne of Chicago, aged about 60 years,
committed suicide by leaping under pas
senger train. He had been sent to Kau-
kauna by aG employment agency at Chi
cago as an extra section hand, but on his
arrival was told that he was too old. This
seemed to greatly depress him, as he was
practically without money or friends.
When the crew of sixty men started for
dinner he fell in the rear, and at the
rapid approach of the train all but he
left the track.
