CLINTONVILLE, Wis, Sept. 1S.-To
be deserted at the altar for another was
the fate of Charles Foesch, a prominent
young farmer of the town of Wauke-
chon, who was engaged to be married
to Miss Clara Stubbe, one of the bellies
of the town of Larrabee. All arrange

invitations had been sent out, a com
Portable home had been prepared by the
happy groom, when the young man was
almost paraIyzed to hear that his bride
had eloped with another young man of
the neighborhood.
The intended husband had arrived and
was at her home and in the early even
ing when his affianced left for the Steen-
book farm where her wedding gown was
being made, he remained behind to visit
with the parents.
On the way she was met by Charles
Buelow and love pointed out the way.
She was helped into the buggy, taken to
the home Of his parents, and early the
next morning the young couple were
driven to the train at Welcome, when
they went TO Menominee Mich, and
were married.
Mr. and Mrs. Buelow have returned

T0BESTEPHENS0N PARK
| RUMORED THAT DOOR COUNTY
TRACT WILL BE so NAMED.
! Said That Junior Senator Has Promised
at Least S25, 900 for Land I'm
| provement There.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 90 Especial ]
The oIUO-acre park which the state
has purchased in the Door county PENN
sula may be named Stephenson park, 4"
after United States Senator Isaac Ste
phenson of Marinette. The senator has
promised $4,000 towards the improve
ments contemplated by the state park
board. and it is broadly rumored that
this contribution may be increased to
$4,000 Or even 100000 Pledge of the
hrst named amount was secured by Park
Commissioner L. Z. Birmingham of Mad
son.
The purchase Of the Door county park
marks the first real step taken by the
state toward setting aside pleasure
grounds for the people, and the
grounds, when contemplated improve
ments are made, will be the finest Of
their Kind in the northwest. State Treas
urer Dahl, who has just returned from
the park country, is enthusiastic over the
prospect of making the states first park
a notable one IN every way. The place
already possesses many natural advan-
tages. There are eight miles of sand
beach and roads through the pine woods
that could not be improved upon. The
A0hu ID uOL desirable Tor agricultural pur-
poses on account of its rocky nature,
but is covered with beautiful evergreens.
Mosquitoes are unknown there
The majority Of the landholders who
have been bought out by the state are
NorWegians, and they are allowed to take
away their buildings and fences. Many
aged people will be allowed to remain.
The peninsula is great apple country
and the park board plans to keep up the
orchards. Some of the land which the.
state has been unable to buy outright
VIII have to be condemned
In addition to the amount to be given
by Senator Stephenson for improvements,
the park board has $4,000 of its own
to spend for this purpose. The board
has not yet decided upon the nature of
all the improvements, but the principal
work VIII be TO clear away much of the
underbrush, and where civilization has
married the beauty Of the land, restore il
somewhat to its natural state.

EVANSTON YOUTH, PRINCIPAL
IN ABDUCTION PLOT.
TWO MEN MAKE ASSAULT.

Had Been Thrown.
POLICE ARE IN THE DARK ON CASE.

CHICAGO. H., Sept. 21.-Whether
the police of Evanston and Chicago have
10 deal with an attempted kidnapping
or an ingenious hazing is a puzzle which
the authorities were unable 10 solve to-
day.
Last night as Ronald Graham. 1G
years old, a freshman in the Evanston
high schOoi, was sitting on the front
porch Of his fathers home in Evanston
a covered wagon occupied by two men
stopped in front of the place.
Blanket Thrown Over Him
Hey lad can you give us a lift
with ihis!' cried one Of the men and
young Graham went to render what as
sistunce he could. No sooner had he
reached the wagon than blanket was
thrown over his head. He was bundled
into the vehicle and while one Of the
men sat guard, the other started the
horses off at gallOp.
After mad chase OF about ten blocks,
the boy was taken from the wagon and
the blanket removed With desperate
effort, Graham wrenched himself loose.
lie was pursued, but outdstanced his
pursuers.
At home in breathless excitement he
told his story. His father. 4. l.. Ora
ham. manufactures. reported the case
to the Evanston police and today the
Chicago officials were called upon for
help IN tracing the supposed kidnapers.
Not Case Of Hazing.
Young Graham described his abduc-
tors as shabbily dressed and of 80 or 80
years of age. He insisted that the case
was not one Of hazing.

II A HELP MEET FOR HIM"
Mrs. E. H. Harriman's Considerable and
Useful Relations with Her Late
Husband

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-An intimate
friend of the Hartman family has Civ
en- to a reporter the following inter
tween the late E. H. Hartman and
his wife, to whom his will conveys the
whole Of his vast estate:
Mr.. Hartman was a man of such
moods" said the informant, that his
wife adapted her conduct to suit his
every Whim. If she saw that he did
not want to talk and desired to be
alone in the house she was always
careful to see to it that he was not
disturbed by the presence of herself
or anybody else. AS for asking him
about his affairs, this she never did.
She always waited for him to tell her.
by this course she learned a great
deal about his affairs, but not all. For
this reason L know that she does not
know, within millions, what the value
of his estate is. She is so practical,
however, that she will be prepared to
accept whatever the inventory will
show.
Mrs. Hartman knows the earning
capacity of most of the railroads her
husband controlled On nearly all his
trips of observation during the last
ten years she accompanied him and
on occasions of this kind he discussed
ings. She used to make notes of these
conversations and study them care
fully at her leisure.
"A marked peculiarly of the rela-
tionS between Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman
was that in the domestic circle Mrs.
Hartman was absolutely supreme.
She never bothered her husband about
household matters. She personally di-
rected them all, in spite of the fact
that she bore him six children, and he
always supplied her with all the
money needed for the hire of servants.
Mrs. Hartman was as methodical
in the management of her household
as he was in his business affairs. I
happen to know that he informed her
of his intention Of making her his
sole heir some time before he wrote
his will and that she simply acquieSced
without comment"
Zone of the last business acts MIR.
Hartman performed at Arden was to
order $40, 900, 600 of new equipment
for the Union Pacific. This order will
not be countermanded. His plan Of
Pacific into Mexico will also be con-
tinued.
1T was Mr.. Harriman's belief that
it would be unwise for the road to
part with the ownership of its hold
ings in Southern Pacific and Illinois
Central. Other directors believe, as
Mr. Hartman did, that these two
holdings should not be segregated;
but the whole segregation plan is still
unsettled"

Electrically Lighted Rifles.

A new type Of army rifle is being man
ufactured in England which differs from
the ordinary kind in having electrically
lighted sights to use at night. A bat
terry is fitted in the stock and serves to
light a pair Of miniature electric bulbs,
placed at each side of the gun barrel, at
the extreme end. The button which
controls the electric circuit is fitted on
the trigger guard and when the operator
presses this button the miniature lamps
serve to light the rife sight. The lights
themselves are shielded from view. In
twilight it is often impossible to take
any aim with the ordinary rifle. By illu-
minating the sight in the manner indi-
Gated the shooter may aim quite accu-
rately.

Success.
NEW LAND AND BARNS ARE NEXT.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 1S-Al-
most Immediately after the closing of
the state fair of 1909, shortly after 10
O'Clock Friday night, both President
George Mckerrow of the state board of
agriculture and Secretary John NJ. True
said that the event had resulted in a
financial balance.
The attendance Of 1909 was more than
1900 under that of 1908. However,
the number of passes issued, the number
Of exhibitors and a variety of other mat
tiers might alter attendance figures. In
the estima ton of officials the cash re-
ceipts of 1909 will exceed those of last
year.
Nothing definite can be made known of
the balance attained until an official cast
ing up Of books has been made. The
board will probably not have its financial
report ready for two weeks.
