RAIN. RELIEVES
FIRE SITUATION
Steady Downpour Sunday Extin-
quishes Forest Fires and Clears
Atmosphere OF Smoke.

The first heavy rain for more than
a month fell here Sunday, beginning
Saturday evening and continuing at
intervals till Monday evening. Old
settlers say it was the longest ''dry
spelP' this section has experienced
for many years. The rain was fol
lowed by falling temperature, the
weather last week having been un-
comfortably warm-another uncom-
mon thing here at this time OF year.
The forest fires, which had been
causing much uneasiness among the
settlers, were put out by rain. The
The villages of Hawkins and Ingram
in this county and various small
towns over North Wisconsin, which
were-fghting last week against ex-
termination, are now safe.
The fires have done but little dam
age, so far as reported, despite the
wild rumors which were circulated,
while they have cleared up thous-
ands of acres of brush and stumps
for the farmers, this saving them
several years of hard work.

THE THEATRE.

1t is seldom the News Budget gives
more than passing notice OF shows
appearing in Ladysmith, but the
Flora DeVoss company are entitled
to cOmmendation for the entertain
ments given at the opera house three
nights this week. Each evening a
bill was presented that was enter
tanning from start to finish.
There was one feature OF the show
Wednesday night that called forth
great applause. It was a takeoff on
the late bank robbery. A man ap-
peared on the stage with u lantern
A supposed robber asked him what
he was doing with that lantern.
The citizen replied: so they can see
to shoot me-"

SCHOOL NoTEs-FIRsT WARD.

The enrolment at the First Ward
school is now over two hundred.
Soventy-fve pupils are enrolled in
first grade and the Training school
pupils are assisting during certain
periods of the day, thus giving Miss
McNair the time to give personal SUI
pervision to the work of all pupils
The school library has been EN-
larged by the addition of seventy
five new volumes.
Several new. improvements have
been made in and about the building
during vacation, but we are still in
need of a telephone, sidewalks and
good water
/ Two newly framed pictures have
been added to the collection in the
fifth grade room.
A literary society has been organ
lied in the upper grades and pro-
grams are to be rendered once a
month.
Parents are urgently requested to
visit the school, for by so doing they
they will be better able to under
stand conditions and cooperate
with the teachers in their work OF
developing the child.

bank only carried sufficient money
for daily needs and that it was in
sured and would not lose a dollar
his face changed to a more pleasant
expression and he walked away.
The fact that the banks OF the city
might lose all the money on hand
would not effect them more than to
put them to a temporary inconven-
ience, as both are insured against
robbery and they only carry what
they consider necessary for current
demands. They are perfectly solvent
and in sound conditions and little
thing like this would not impair
their standing, even if they should
lose the money.
VIM. NJ. Wolff, of the Roger l..
Merrill office, general agent of the
MARYLAND Casualty Co., OF Milwau-
kee, arrive and adjusted the
loss of the State Bank. They had a
$4,000 policy, which not only cover
ed the money loss but all damage in
cidental to the robbery which will
be about ST 800. Mr.. Wolff said the
loss in money was $4,000. He said
the Maryland Casualty Co. will pay
the sum OF $l00 for the apprehension
and conviction of each one OF the
persons connected with this bur-
glary.
SO far, no trace of the robbers has
been found. The insurance company
has PinkertOn detective on the
case, while several others are out
trying to get the reward offered.
Miss Mabel Tiffany took both in
side and outside pictures Of the
wreck before anything was removed.
Mr.. j. O. Sinclair left today for st.
Paul to buy new round door, mob
and burglar proof safe.

ALDEN FACTORY
NOW IN OPERATION
Their Products are in Dem and in All
Parts OF fhe World.-A Big Addi-
tion to Our Manufactures

r. Alden & Sons have their plant
now running at nearly it's full capacity
and they have orders to keep it going
for some time to come, while the bust
ness is one that keeps on regardless of
local conditions. Its business is world
wide. r. Alden said that his dealings
were almost exclusively with manufac-
lures and orders come from New Zea-
land, j a p an, England, Germany,
France and other countries.
1t is interesting to watch the process
of manufacturing. The first is the
saving of the bolts into four-foot lum-
ber. This is piled and dried. 1t is
then cut into squares the, thickness of
the lumber. Then it passes through
planer and goes to the several machines
where needed. They have two cross
cut saws and two self-feeding rip saws,
an upright boring machine and an auto
matte saw GUNNER, and engine lathe.
In the second story are eight automatic
turning lathes, which turn out knobs
and handles.
In addition to organ stops, this fac
tory makes a speciality of handles for
rubber stamps and turns them out by
the thousand each week. After they
leave the turning lathe they are put
into what are called tumblers, large
cylinders, being colored in the opera
ton. These cylinders revolve slowly
and the abrasion of hundreds of these
articles grinding together makes them
smooth and puts them in condition to
receive preparation that makes them
shine. After b ein G dipped in the
enamel, they are put into ovens and
baked. There are four of these ovens
fitted with CRATES. The handles, which
are fastened to steel pin in large
blocks are placed on these CRATES and
when the oven is full they are kept
there until thoroughly baked. They
are then taken out and carried to the
finishing room, where girls put the
names on each stop and prepare them
for shipment.
Now the least interesting part of the
machinery is the one where the name
is printed on the stops. A sheet of
celluloid is taken and placed over a lot
of dies. 1t is then placed in hydrau-
lie press with pressure of 40 tons.
Steam is turned on and then 20 tons
additional pressure is put on, the cell
luoid having b C m warm. This
leaves the name on the celluloid, stamp
ed in by this heavy pressure. Cold
water is turned on and the celluloid is
taken from the dies, leaving them
ready for repetition of the operation.
The squares are then taken to the fin
ishing room where girls ink them.
They are then polished by roller run
by steam, cut into round pieces the
size of the stop and encased in the top
of the enamelled stop, when they are
ready for shipment.
At present twenty-five persons are
employed in the factory and adds great
ly to the business of the city. The
business of this factory is for the trade.
No order work received outside of the
special line in which they are engaged.
The dies used are alone worth $4,000,
so that it takes a lot of capital to make
one of them.

d. H. Richards has improved his
residence by raising it two feet, dig
ging a cellar under it and is building
an addition. He has also shingled
it anew. The earth taken from the
basement he has used to grade up

value of the property. The base
ment wall is Of cement blocks laid
in red mortar, which is very attrac-
tive.
You cannot afford to pay a cent
less for your clothing than we
charge you. We believe that to be a
sound, sensible fact. To deal with
prices less than twenty dollars for
Moe-to-measure suits is to get among
uncertainties. Even alittle bitlower
prices, means that there's something
that isn't as it should be, something
sighted. We set our prices where
they cannot be lessened and we can
prove it. Better give us a chance to
prove it.
