FIRE LOSS IS $500, 900.
Marinette Blaze Destroys 100000
Feet of Basswood-Mills May Run
Day and Night

MARINETTE, Wis, Aug. 3.-[Spe-
cial. IA smouldering mass Of ruins is
all that remains of the millions of feet
of lumber of the Sawyer-Goodman Lum-
Der company, which were destroyed by
fire Saturday night. 1t is estimated that
100000 feet of lumber were lost, val
ued at 100000. The loss is fully COW
cred by insurance.
In addition to the lumber loss there is
a heavy loss on tramways and equip
ment and several million feet of cedar
logs were burned to the water line.
Charles Goodman and r. F. Goodman,
who were at Green Bay, made a record
trip to Marinette on Senator Stephen
sons yacht, Bonita.
While the company suffered great loss
through the fire, it is probable that
the people of Marinette and Menominee
will be the gamers. There was some some
talk of shutting down the mills because
the yards were stocked beyond their
capacity But the fire has cleaned out t.. a
large space and night and day shifts
will probably be run in piling new lum-

BOND.
SUM RAISED THIS MORNING.
Confession by Defaulter Heard by United
States Marshal on Way from
Cleveland,
BROKERS REFUSED TO AID HIM.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 3, 1905
Bail to the amount Of $4,000 was fur
nished this afternoon for John Schultz,
the defaulting Racine bank cashier, by
his brother. Theodore Schultz, agent Of
The bail, which was IN cash, was turned
over to Clerk of the Courts Edward
KurtZ.
Will Be Tried in Fall.
AS Schultz was arraigned before a
United States court commissioner at
Cleveland, where the amount of the bail
was fixed, it was not necessary that he
be arraigned here. His case will be
brought before the grand jury when it
meets here in the fall, and he probably
will be tried at the first term OF federal
court here.
Announcement that bail would be fur
nished for Schultz was made after a
conference between his brother and At
torney Thomas NJ. Kearney Of Racine,
who will represent him, and Schultz HIM
self. Schultz was taken from the coun-
ty jail to the office of United States
Marshal We'll, where the conference was
held. At it's close Attorney kearney an
nounced that bail would be furnished by
Theodore Schultz. and the two went out
to secure the cash.
Confesses to Marshal.
In a confession that told every detail
of his crime, the embezzlement OF $1o..
900 of the funds of the First National
Bank of Racine, Schultz lifted load off
his mind to his captor, United States
Marshal Frank Chandler, when he ar
rived at the Milwaukee county jail Sun
day night.
Speculation in grain and trust in the
friendliness of his broker is what put
Schultz in financial distress. After he
had lost the money he said that ne
thought that his broker would loan the
sum to him to make it good to the bank.
He went at once to Cleveland where
his broker lived and begged for relief,
offering, he said, so per cent. of the value
of the loan, to tide him over. But the
broker turned him down and Schultz
went to the station and gave himself UP
to the authorities. He was not caught
by means of a letter as was first re-
ported.
Prison life during the past week has
been hard on the man who possesses
considerable pride and he begged for a
good soft bed in his cell when he spoke
to the jailor Sunday night, lust FOR

why Some Plants Moved In.

The chinch bug brought fax to Mis-
souri,. the grasshopper brought the cas-
tor bean, japanese clover butted in and
alfalfa came as a matter of study. This
is the conclusion which George B. Ellis.
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture, says tradition justifes. When the
chinch bug played havoc in the wheat of
Missouri the farmers looked about for
some crop which would resist the incur
sions of this pestilent insect. They found
that for some reason the chinch bug did
not or would not live upon fax. Hence
they planted fax, and for a time south
west Missouri had many fields of fax.
