WRECKS AT BRANCH

Two railroad wrecks occurred near the
this city last Friday afternoon. The
south bound noon passenger due at 12;49
met with an accident at Branch when
one of the tires of the drive wheels was
broken, resulting in a delay of three
hours, the train passing through here at
4 o'clock.
The same afternoon the accommoda'
tion train which leaves here at 9 o'clock
over the Green Bay extension met with
an accident at Montrose junction when
the engine and two cars were derailed,
resulting in the blocking Of the line to
the city. Consequently when the train
from Branch came through it had to
pass over the trestle to the Calumet
yards and then back down to the depot.
The two wrecks caused considerable
delay to the traffic passing through here
and it was not until far into the night
that all had been cleared up. The stall
ing of another freight at Branch called
for the aid of local switch engines thus
adding to the congestion Of traffic. For.
tunately no one was injured.

have greater Jewish population,
Russia, with 5,215,S05, and Austria

NEW YEARS THOUGHTS.

Here they et,-the Past and the
Future. Looking to one side we behold
in the far distance the misty Dawn of
Creation and on the other the eye of
faith discerns the golden portal of Eter-
nifty. The Present Moment which al
ways divides time into History and
Prophecy now also records the transi-
tion of another year from the latter to
the former. ''Tis midnight's holy hour. "
The earth is veiled in darkness. OBJ
jects which were visible can no longer
be seen. Yet that darkness which has
closed our eyes to the little things of
earth, has at the same time opened them
to the grandeur of the heavens We ex-
claim with the Hebrew poet, THE
heavens declare the glory of God; and
the armament sheweth his haudiworl
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night
unto night sheweth knowledge"
Night is us necessary as day to reveal
to man the glories of the creation. Per-
petual day would bend man earthward
Some of the grandest thoughts ever ex.
pressed were uttered in the silence of
the night under the starry skies.
Night is therefore not an enemy of
Day. The two are halves of greater
whole. One is complement of the
other Day reveals Gods presence in
the little things within our reach
Night reveals him in the starry uni
verse. Law and beauty permeate all
his creatures.
Another thought enters the mind at
such season. What is mans destiny +?
Is death thu bound of life or is it. like

Curious Custom That Prevails In West

A strange custom Is observed year.

ration OF an incident that happened
in the year 1871. That year there
was a plague OF wasps and many per-
sons throughout the country succumb-
ed to the poisonous stings. The lit
tie hamlet holds the record for its
number OF victims, and in memory OF
the occurrence a memorial tablet was
erected ON the moor there. Now each
year there is procession. Most OF
the inhabitants turn out carrying in
sect powder and other devices for kill
ing wasps. and march to the memorial
stone where a short service is held
by the minister of the parish. When
the service is over a general crusade
is made in search OF wasps' nests,

Younq Woman's Paradise.

"If some Of the stories told about
servant girls in California be true n
may we'll be regarded as the young
womn's paradise says the London
Chronicle. "A girl went to Los An.
geles from England to cook and do
general housework in a small family
for Ct ($35) a month. Going from a
relatives house in San Fernando val
ley to begin her duties for the first
time, she had to walk half a mile to
the trolley cars. A rancher came along
in his buggy and asked her to ride.
Before the trolley cars were reached
the rancher had proposed and. instead
of going to work, the girl went to the
parson and was married. She now
milks five cows daily, cooks three
meals, irrigates the garden and does
not regret the quick cuurtship."

TO CONQUER WHITE PLAGUE.
New Methods Of Successfully Dealing
with the Disease.

The Boston Consumptives' hospital,
in opening an out-patient department
in Burrousts place for the treatment
OF tuberculosis, is extending prac'
tice with regard to controlling the
spread of the disease that has been
approved and advised by numerous
scientific authorities and societies,
says the Boston Transcript. Even
The women's clubs have &Jr some time
urged that measures be taken by
which people can be instructed in the
best ways to adapt to their home life
and rules and regulations followed at
hospitals and sanatoriums for the ar
resting or cure of consumption. Those
who are farthest advanced in knowl.
edge concerning the treatment of
tuberculosis have long been of the
opinion that the way one lives rather
than the place Of living may De de.
pended upon to prevent or even to
cure the ailment where cure is posi-
Bile. This is the answer to the threat
ening quarantine against consump.
tives from the north, recently insti
tuted by statute in Texas and likely
to be followed in other southern and
western communities.

DUCKS ON A SPREE.
Trick Of Young Girl Yields Good Fnan.
cial Returns.

The 15-year-old daughterso sof a farm
er living on the shores Of Chesapeake
bay, where wild ducks are found in
greater numbers than anywhere else
In the United States, has proved her
self a better hunter than any of the
men who make living by it. She no.
ticed that at one spot hundreds Of
ducks came ashore to eat the sorrel
plaSt. She got peck of corn, soaked
it for two days in whisky, and then
at night scattered it on the ground.
Her father laughed at the idea but
he laughed too soon. The next morn
ing large number of the ducks came
ashore for the sorrel, but took the
corn instead. The result was that
over so Of them were made so drunk
that they were easily captured on the
shore or by boat, and the girl made
over $25 at one haul. Perhaps ducks
shouldn't be tempted to become
drunkards, but it is certainly an easy
and profitable way to gather them
in for the market. The wonder is
if the people who eat them will also
become hilarious?

ALLOW ANCE MAY Be Nc9EASED.

That Company II, of this city, with 9TH
er companies of the National guard in
Wisconsin will receive an increase in
allowance of ammunition for target prac-
tice the coming year is a recommends
tion of the quarter master general if ac-
cepted, which is probable. The report
declares that there is increased interest
in the rifle work of the state guard and
that if the men are willing to give their
time, the state should supply sufficient
ammunition. 1t is suggested that 5000
rounds be supplied each company, in
stead of 5000 rounds as in the past.
Guard officers are much gratifed
with the improvement in the rife work
of all companies of the guard and it is
declared that Wisconsin soldiers have
made rapid advancement in this line the
past year or two. Co. 81, supplied with
the increase Of ammunition, will be able
to improve its work on the range and
the coming summer will no doubt see II
revival of interest among the soldier
boys.
The report closes with the following
recommendations 1T is recommended
that an armorer be provided by proper
legislation at salary of 1880 per year
for each company of infantry, troop Of
cavalry and battery of field artillery.
That one pair of field glasses be issued
to each officer. That all officers be
equipped with canvas folding cot,
folding camp chair, folding table, can.
vas water bucket and canvas bedding
roll. That woolen blankets and rubber
ponchos be issued to all field and staff
officers. That one conical and one wall
tent be issued to each company to be
kept at the home station for use during
practice marches and instruction of men
in pitching and packing"

HAVE VARIETY OF NAMES.
Numerous Applications Bestowed on
Race Of Gipsies.

The gipsies, interest in whom Is re-
vived by the appearance OF the first Is
sue of the revived Gypsy Lore society,
has passed under variety of names,
arising either from their supposed
original country or the calling and
characteristic of the race. The Old
English Egyptian, the Spanish Gitana
and the Magyar Pharas nepek tPha-
raohs people, all point to an Egyptian
origin; the Scandinavian Tatare iden.
tifies them with the Mongolian hordes
which terrorized early Europe, while
the French Bohemian suggests yet an
other country as their cradle. AS to
the names bestowed by their sup
posed character, the Arab boldly calls
them Harami Ca villain, the Dutch
man Heydens, or heathens, and the
Persian takes his name from their
complexion, and dubs them karachi,
or swarthy. A charter OF William
the Lion as early as the twelfth cen
tury, mentions their Scotch name OF
Thinkers, which Is commonly supposed
to be corruption Of tinker. although
possibly the substitution of IT for
~" has produced this form OF the ltal.
ian Zngaro one of the most wide
spread of gypsy appellations.
