WHO CHIPPEWA
FOLK SUNK $4,000

Yesterday bankruptcy proceeding
of sad interest to many Chippewa
Falls folk had its conclusion in the
United States court here. The story
is thus.
Some four or five years ago two
young men from Indianapolis came
to Chippewa Falls and proposed to
move their furniture plant from
hoosierdom to Chippewa if they could
be given some financial help. A pub
lie meeting was held and so much in
Iterest was awakened that Chippewa
citizens subscribed to $4,000 of the
stock In due time furniture began
to flow from the factory. Apparently
O. fine business was being done. A
dividend of IA per cent. was declared
one year, although afterward the To-
cal stockholders were not clear just
what condition should have justified
such generosity. The property, all
told, was valued at $4,000. The
boosters had contributed something
above the $4,000. Yesterday, as a
climax in bankruptcy H. M. Lewis,
register in bankruptcy, confirmed
the sale at auction of the property for
$4,000 to NJ. A. Poznanski. BY
stroke of the pen, SO to speak, the
$4,000 subscribed by the Chippewas
was thus effaced The Indianians have
migrated to other fields. Mr.. Poz-
nanski is to reopen the works, and
success for them under his manage
ment is prophesied confidently by his
felloW-citizens of Chippewa Falls. The
city is philosophical. It rejoices in
the possession of a promising factory
even though the venture represents
SIS 600 of their earnings gone a-glee.

Asquith by deputation resulted in ex-

headed by Mrs. Parkhurst, to endeav,
or to see the prime minister, who had
previously decided not to receive the
deputation.

around which several thousand police
had taken UP strategic positions. The
first noteworthy incident was the ar
rest, after great deal of trouble, of
buxom equestrian suffragette who
tried to penetrate the police Gordon to
take a message to the premier. Next
appeared a deputation under the com
mand of Mrs. Parkhurst, and it was
received by the crowd with wild
cheers. Escorted by the police, the
deputation arrived at Saint Stephens
entrance to parliament, where it was
met by Chief Inspector Scantlebury,
who handed Mrs. Pankhurst lette"
from the premier, regretting his ina
bility to receive the deputation
Angrily throwing the letter ON the
ground, Mrs. Parkhurst declared her
right as kings subject to enter the
house of commons, and she endeav-
Ored to force an entrance.
The police tried to induce the wom-
en- to dispense quietly and then be-
gan to take members of the deputa-
ton by their arms to lead them away
In the struggle, Mrs. Parkhurst
slapped Inspector Jarvis in the face,
knocking his cap in the mud. For
this the crowd denounced her. A mo-
ment later, another member of the
deputation, Mrs. Saul Solomon
knocked off the inspectors cap a sec
ond time. while others made deter
mined attempt to rush the Gordon of

tation was placed under arrest.
By this time, a second deputation
had left Caxton hall, accompanied by
hundreds of suffragettes and others
and an attempt was made to reach
the commons through an underground
passage, leading from Westminster
bridge. This, too, was unsuccessful,
but for two hours the whole district
was in an uproar, the police dispers-
ing crowds and arresting women by
the wholesale. The windows of
many government buildings were
smashed with stones wrapped in pa

Altogether 112 women were arrest
ed, including Mrs. Pankhurst, Mrs.
Solomon, Mrs. Haverfeld, daughter of
Lord Abinger, Miss Margesson,
daughter of Lady Margesson, Miss

FREE BUT MOMENT
AFTER ACQU|TTA TAIL
BRoUGHToN BRANDENBURG RE.
ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
KIDNAPPING WIFE's SON.
JURY FREES HIM OF LARCENY
CHARGE WITHIN FEW
MINUTES.

New York, June 30.-Although
Broughton Brandenburg was acquitted
here yesterday of the charge of grand
larceny in connection with the sale
of the alleged spurious letter of
Grover Cleveland to the New York
Times, he had only few minutes of
freedom.
Before leaving the courtroom, he
was re-arrested and will be taken to
st. Louis next week for trial on a
charge of fraudulently enticing from
the child's parent, his stepson, James
Shepard Cabanne. The penalty for
this offense in Missouri ranges from
six months in Jail to 20 years in the
penitentiary. The author was taken
back to the Toombs in default of
$4,000 bail to await the arrival of the
Missouri officers.
The kidnapping, which it is said,
Brandenburg admits, occurred short
ly after the writer jumped his bail
while under indictment for the sale
of the Cleveland article. He was
found in San Francisco with the Cab
anne boy, whom he had picked up in
st. Louis. Brandenburg declared he
was justified in taking the boy, be-
cause the lads father, with whom he
had been temporarily left, had not
lived up to an agreement as to the
child's treatment.
The boys mother, Brandenburg's
wife, was in the courtroom yesterday
when the verdict of acquittal was an
nounced.
The verdict of acquittal on the
grand larceny charge was reached by
the jury within few minutes after
the presiding justice had charged
them that the question of the genu
ineness of the Cleveland signature
was immaterial and that the question
of genuineness of the article was
only of secondary consideration. The
primary consideration, he told them,
was whether the defendant had stolen
$500, the price paid for the article
by the New York Times They must
acquit the defendant, he continued, if
they found that the Times had not
relied on Brandenburg's statements
as to the genuineness of the article,
but had relied rather on the represen-
tation of F. I. Hastings, one of Cleve-
lands executors, whom they consult
ed before purchasing the article.

every inducement to keep up with his

the supposed donkey was great

had killed and eaten donkey, ears,
hoofs and all, and was SO gorged and
torpid that he could scarcely move.

ing he had been saddled and laden
with the burden carried by his vic
tim, and been driven along behind
the donkeys, who were SO alarmed
that they kept ahead of their natural
enemy all day.-National Magazine.

Circular Skirt.

The skirt that takes straight lines
and which is close fitting is the one
that is in greatest demand at this
time, and this circular model is grace
full in the extreme, while conforming
to all the requirements. 1t can be
made either with or without the seam
at the front and with or without
seams over the hips, SO that 1t Is
adapted both to narrow and to wide
materials. In the illustration chiffon
broadcloth is made with the seam at
the centre front only and with the
hem interlined with flannel to give
needed weight, but all suitlng and all
skirting materials are appropriate.
The seams over the hips are in every
way desirable for narrow material, as
they do away with unsightly piecing,
and they also can be utilized for any
material that has tendency to sag,
as the straight edges of the back por-
tions prevent stretching, but the plain
circular skirt is a handsome one, and
many women prefer 1t to every other
sort.
The skirt can be made in one, two
or four pieces, as the seams at the
front and over the hips are used or
omitted. 1t is perforated for walking
length and for habit back.
