The Location.

The new plant will be built south
of the shaft made by the Iroquois
Mining company, southwest of North
Freedom. The property formerly
owned by the Irionquois people has
been secured by the Oliver Mining
company and the shaft abandoned by
the former company will be used by
the Oliver folks. The shaft is down
tc the ore about 500 feet below the sur
face. Another shaft will also be sunk
so that both can be operated from the
power plant and with the same gener
al supervision.
The Chicago & Northwestern has q
spur to LaRue or to the Illinois mine.
A branch will be built tn the location
for the new mine OF che Oliver COM
pany. The new track will be about
one mile in length and will be laid at
once so that the material can be gotten
on the ground.
All the old buildings at the Iroquois
mine will be torn down as soon as new
ones are erected.
All this will mean much for North
Freedom, Ableman, Baraboo and Sauk
county as the total cost to get the
mine ready for operation will mean an
outlay of something like quarter of a
million dollars.
A portion of the land was leased by
the Sauk County Land & Mining COM
pany represented By Herman Groto.

Electric Lighted

The new town will be electric light
ed. Dynamos will generate lights for
the houses and mine and will give
power for operating the trans. This
will be a more economical and quicker
way to get the ore out of the shaft
than was employed in the Illinois
mine.
A three million gallon pump will
carry the water from the mine and a
steel fume will convey it into Seeley
Greek.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
lnPOFtaht Capture Of professional Safe
Blower in jacksonville.

AaNNNA ~ ON0AnO1N
The Times-UniOn of Sunday has the
following:
While in the act Of blowing the safe
b he establishment Of Charles H. Bur
nett, corner Of Jefferson and Bay
streets, this morning at 2-45 O'Clock,
John Simpson, a white man, wascaught
By Ofieer AmmOns. When the officer
entered the store the burglar was at
work on the door of the safe and was
taken completely by surprise, as the
officer covered him with his revolver.
He readily submitted to arrest as he
flashed his pocket lantern into Am
mons face and realized that an effort
10 escape or resistance would be futile.
Ofieer AmmOns was patrOlling his beat
at an early hour and his attention was
attracted to a man in the vicinity Of
Jefferson and Bay streets. The man
disappeared in the darkness. A short
time afterward the officer found that
the door to Burnett's store unlocked.
His suspicious were at once aroused.
Creeping to the rear of the store he
found a man drilling into the door Of
the safe, using at intervals small
electric pocket lantern to aid him in
his work. After approaching within a
few feet Of the burglar, the officer
commanded him to throw up his hands.
This he did. When the man was hand
eufed the police headquarters were
telephOned and several officers dis
patched to the scene. The burglar was
promptly carried to the station, where
he was searched. In his possession was
found all the paraphernalia of a pro-
fessiOnal safeblOwer. In his pockets
there was a bottle of nytroglycerine,
several insulated electrical wires, a LOT
Of iewelry, and a quantity of postage
stamps,
In frInt Of the safe which he was
attempting TO blow was found a small
steel saw, wrench, glass cutter and
q bottle containing acid of some kind
and . revolver.
when he was Intercepted at police
headquarters Simpson at first declined
10 diyulge anything about himself, but
finally gave his name and address, JOhr
Simpson, Curtain Bay, Baltimore.
The capture Of this daring burglar
Il q most important one, as the large
amount Of stamps found in his posses
sion Indicate possibly his connection
with some pOstOfice rObberies. Officer
AmmOns was rOundly congratulated by
Bis brother officers on the splendid
Work he did this morning"

The FIRE was first discovered by Nc
Kinney, and he is very much of the
opinion it originated from the kitchen
fue. 1t had gained such Roadway that
within ten minutes after it was first
discovered the whole building was in
flames, and it was with difficulty that
the family of small'children were res
cued.
The furniture was all lost, and all of
the wearing apparelexcept afew pieces.
All Of the children's clothing except the

Mrs. Ned Bussey, was discovered to be
on fire last Friday at about II o'clock,

contents is only $500, while the loss is
in the neighbOrhOOd Of 81, $50.

EAST COAST HOTEL BURNED.
The Clarendon at Seabreeze Destroyed
Full Of Guests, all Saved.

DaytOna, Feb. 1.-THE Hotel Claren-
don at Seabreeze, one of the largest
resort hotels on the East Coast, To-
gether with ten cottages adjoining the
house, was totally destroyed by FIRE
early this morning. The 2l5 guests,
who were asleep at the time, were
saved without injury, and many were
able to gather up most Of their belong
mgs.
When the blaze was first discovered
the night clerk rushed the help to each
room, notifying guests, who made their
way hurriedly to the streets. At one
time the blaze appeared to be under
control, but the wind shifted and it
broke out anew, and in less than three
quarters Of an hour the entire building
was burned.
The ten cottages owned by H. R.
KOchersperger caught from sparks and
all were burned at the same time. The
hotel help We're panic stricken and the
clerks could do nothing with them, one
woman biting the clerk badly on the
hand. The hotel was a wooden strue-
ture valued at 500, 900 and was insured
for about 40 per cent. The streets
about the hotel are stacked with
trunks, suit cases, furniture, etc. The
management is making every effort to
take care Of the many guests.
When the fire alarm was sounded in
DaytOna hundreds of persons from here
rushed across the river to Seabreeze;
but even with this additional help the
fire could not be checked.
The fire was discovered by the bakers
who were just going to work. Itorigi-
mated in the coal bins under the kitchen
and at first it seemed that the fire ex-
tinguishers would do the work, but
there was some difficulty in getting the
water faucets to working and seeing
that the fire was beyond control, the
guests were notified to run for their
lives.
Twelve extra policemen were called
out and they did excellent work. The
roof Of the Cherokee, home of Mr..
KOehersperper, caught from sparks,
and but for the heroic efforts of Mr..
Gibson, a guest of the Seaside Inn, anC
others, who climbed to the roof, il
would have been destroyed.
The Clarendon was just beginning
the season which promised to be its
most prosperous. Every room in the
big hotel was engaged.

Another Treat in Store for Theater
GOers.


GOers.
The Kimmerlin Dramatic Club is pre-
pairing another treat for the theater
goers of Live Oak. At the Auditorium,
Tuesday evening, February 2Srd, they
will present, 1.-THE Squire's Daughter, -
a comedy drama in three acts. This is
by far the best bill yet produced by the
club, and those attending can be as.
sured Of an evening of rare entertain
ment. The proceeds of the play will,
as before, be denoted to the Suwannee
Rifles.
1t is needless to say anything of the
merit of the club, for the plays they
have presented in the past prove that
they have some Of the best amature
talent to be found anywhere, exceIling
even some Of the professional trOupes
which come to Live Oak.
The success Of the club is also largely
due TO the expert coaching of Mrs. H.
B. Cook, who is herself professional
in the dramatic art, and Of Mr.. ]. L.
Ross, who for years followed the stage.
With such coaching, it is no small Won
der that the club has already made
quite a chit" in Live Oak.
AS this is the last play that will be
produced before the beginning of Lent,
there is but little doubt it will be well
attended. And the club surely merits
the patronage of all who ike to see a
good play.

What si,iytha Dida

Once upon a time there lived
q good man who was soliciting
contributions for the erection
OF an orphan asylum, said the
story teller. "He had been to
many rich people and received
liberal contributions. which
We're entered in a book he had
for that purpose. Among
these many names appeared,
Mrs. Rupert Smythe.' The
good man went to Mr.. Smythe's
office and, showing him the
contribution entered by Mrs.
ISmythe, asked if he would not
give a like sum. And what do
you suppose he did,"
"Well, | suppose he doubled
it," remarked a listner.
Doubled it? Not Rupert"
exclaimed the teller of the sto-
ry. "Why, he simply took his
pen and wrote, MIR. and before
his wife's name and handed
the book back"

Cedar Falls Record: 1t is an
easy matter to bubble and find
fault with the work of the pub
lie schools and to compare re-
suits now with what they were
in the good, old days when the
s'three RS" were exalted and a
lot of other things greatly ne
elected. Take the matter of
writing for example. In the
good old days no one ever
thought of teaching a child to
write until it was we'll along in
years but now a ten year old
boy or girl can write with COM
parative ease and correctness.
Children in the public schools
now get instruction along num-
erous branches that were never
heard of in the old time coun-
try school and graded schools
were few and far between in
that day. Yes we are progress
ing and the public schools are
keeping up with the procession
admirably.

Forgetflll

How very .eorgetful weooo'
mortals are. When ever a cool
breeze comes up from the
northwest W e;y: Did you
ever see such weather. Ger
tainly we have. Way back in
the early settlement of this
country the winters set in, gen
orally about the middle of No
vember and continued until
the first of May. Snow fell,
often to a depth Of four feet,
and the wind howled and blew
drifting the snow into high
drifts, making the roads about
impossible for weeks at a time.
We are so apt to forget. The
winters now are so much mild
er than those days of early set
Element.
