Mrs. Haley accompanied the re
mains to Portland, where interr-
ment took place, Friends of Mr.,
and Mrs. Moore extend their heart

Won First Game.

At the beginning of the foot
ball season it was announced
that the city foot ball team was
going after the North Wisconsin
championship and in the game
last Sunday with the fast team
from Cdanah. they m dc good,
winnlue out by ID score Ut twenty
one to g. 1 he Odanah team were
an easy match and the result
was that the game was only about
half playedsby the home team
Had they played for all that was
in them it is doubtful just how
many scores they would have
been able to pile up. No trick or
fancy plays had to be used and
the game was won by straight
line bucks, good gains being
made at almost every play. The
Odanah team played on-side punts
and end runs entirely but were
very unsuccessful in their work.
The boys say that the game was
merely practice game for them
and that next Sunday they ex-
pect to show just what they are
able to do. The lineup for the
game will be much stonger than
last Sunday and many new plays
have been develOned.

rfreless Locomotives.

Priceless stoves and cookers have be- come familiar conveniences, but the suggestion of fireless locomotive. not run by electricity, is one that will be surprising to many. And yet such Q locomotive has been invented in Ger many and put into practical service. This locomotive Is described by The New York Herald as follows:
 The machine resembles the ordinary type minus the fire box. funnel and like attachments. It Is not suited for un- interrupted railway service, but must keep near the source of supply, the boiler of some local station. At this station the tank of the locomotive is filled with steam, and on this steam supply the machine is run for four or five hours, doing ordinary switching work. It is really an accumulator en- zine. the necessary power for which Is supplied by a quantity of heated water.
 The water supplies the steam. In de- fault of the fire the steam development is effected at the expense of the heat contained In the water. And the en- zine works with Q constantly decreas- Ing power. This type of engine offers absolute safety against fire which might be caused by flying sparks And all smoke nuisance Is eliminated.
 There is marked economy, since the cost of producing steam in stationary boiler plants Is less than when, pro- fuced by ordinary fire locomotives. The fact must not be lost sight of that only one man is required to run the
