How Germany Looks Out For the
Welfare of Toilers.

Welfare of Toilers.
DIR. F. ]. Lengge Of Munich, Ger
many, who is making a tour of
American hospitals, said to a Wash
ington Post reporter:
There is perhaps no country in
the world where workmen are so pro-
tected by the state or are SO cared
for as in Germany. Even clerks,
shop assistants and servants are COM
pelled to insure. This insurance is
effected by pasting into a book GER
tain stamps every week. and it is
the duty of every employer to see
that this is faithfully done. There
are three insurances for workmen,
all of which are obligatory and un-
der the authority Of the imperial in
surance office. They are sickness, &C.
cident and old age or infirmity. This
| insurance is mutual and Its admins
| tration autonomous under state con-
troll. 1t embraces, without disttnc-
ton of nationality, all persons work
| ing in Germany.
Insurance against Sickness" con.
tinued DR.. Lengge, ''is especially fol
those occupied in industry and COM
merce receiving a yearly salary OF
$3.50 or more, but the law allow;
other workmen, comprising domestic
servants, voluntarily to take advant-
age of it. 1t has something like a.
600 local offices and over 100000
workmen get the yearly benefit OF
nearly s40,000,000. The object OF
this insurance Is to guarantee to the
insured a sure and efficacious aid fol
at least thirteen weeks from the be-
ginning of sickness.
THE minimum advantages to
which all insured have q right are
free services of a physician; in case
of inability to work, daily assistance
consisting of so per cent Of daily sal
ary, beginning from the third day OF
sickness, or the gratuitous services OF
a hospital with 25 per cent Of the
daily salary given to the family; In
case of death, funeral expenses equal
twenty times the daily salary"

DIAZ HAD THRILLING cAREEF
He Had Escaped Death and Prison
Many Times.


Gen. Fornos Diaz, field commander
under General Estrada, who left Blue
fields in sailboat for Greytown Thurs
day morning of last week before dawn,
He volunteered to go through the lines
to persuade DR.. Madriz, his personal
friend, that mis- political enemy, Pres
ident Madriz, should yield to General
Estrada's revolution. He took this step
against the advice Of his associates.
The United States had been asked to
take him to Greytown on a warship
going that way, but refused consent
Lacking means Of transit, Diaz went in
a dory through the heaviest surf and
sea the coast has seen this season,
confident that his powers Of persuasion
would win success for the revolution
without more bloodshed.
Pedro Andreas Fornos Diaz was 35
years old, q lawyer and journalist, q
dashing soldier and a hot-headed fiery
Liberal leader, whose flaming writings
did much to stir the country against
Zelaya, whose supporter he had once
been, but against whose outrages he
rebelled. The wireless brought the
news through the British sunboat
Scylla. Bluefelds Is plunged in gloom.
Diaz went to the president not as an
authorized agent. His message was
unconditional surrender" the insur-
gents say. When Diaz left Mrs. Es-
trada personally begged him not to go
telling him he was risking his life. He
said the time was ripe and he would
not delay. The night he was drowned
the boom Of the surf on the reef outside
Blueflelds lagoon, six miles away, could
be heard distinctly in the town.
Diaz, a few years ago, was on board
a Pacific mail steamer on his way up
the west coast, when the soldiers Of
Zelaya boarded the ship, searched 1t
without opposition and took Diaz
prisoner. On the way to Managua he
jumped from the open door Of box
car Of the moving train during the
night and escaped, making his way
over the country to Honduras On an
other OCCASION he was arrested in Blue
fields for issuing revolutionary
pamphlet, and was put on board boat
to be taken up tine San Juan river to
the interior. He jumped into the river
at night and escaped into Costo Rica.
The natives believed ne bore a Charmed
life.
Once, while a refugee in Guatemala,
he was imprisoned on suspicion Of
being a Zelaya spy, having once been
Zelayas friend and after his release
q Pacific mail steamer on his way up
he filed a sensational suit against
Guatemala in the court Of Cartago.
Before the latest revolution broke out
Diaz was exiled into Costo Rica, but
came here Immediately on the raising
of the Estrada banner.

his fallen adversary and saaloped back
to the soldiers line befoft the Chey-
ennes could muster courage enough
to pursue.
But the greatest Of all battles, man
to man, in our day, was the fight be-
tween John L. Sullivan, champion of
the world, and Jake Klrain, at Rich
burg, Miss, on the morning Of July
Is, 1899. The fight attracted more at
tention than any previous battle, for
1t was the Jeffries-J Johnson fight Of
the times, and though the purse was
only $4,000, that was tremendous for
those days. It was the last Of the
! great ring contests fought under Lon
don prize ring rules with bare knuck-
les.
The morning was piping hot, above
107 in the shade, said the thermom-
eter, and the ring was pitched on the
ground beside an ice house, so miles
from New Orleans. The spectators,
who had come from all over the coun-
try were on roughly made grand
stands and on the roof Of the Ice,
house, and in trees. Anywhere was
good seat then. The fight began at
Z o'clock in the morning and 1t was
seen when the men went into the ring
that they both had prepared for the
battle by picking their hands into a
tough condition, their skin being
brown from what they had used on 1t.
The fight was in more ways than
one the hottest Of all the great ring
battles ever seen. The men fougnt
hammer and tongs, and, though Kill
rain repeatedly spiked Slllivan's foot
so that the blood oozed through the
shoe, the Boston man never MADE a
complaint. It was so hot and their
skins we're so baked by the sun that
blows glancing from their shoulders
peeled the skin off In strips.
In Kilrain's corner was Charles
Mitchell, who had fought a draw In
France with Sullivan, and, he Kept
hurling remarks at the Boston man
till the latter was goaded into fury.
He fought like a demon, and would
have Beaten Kilrain more quickly had
the rules not permitted the latter to
slip to his knees, when avoiding q
blow, making it illegal for blow TO
be struck when he was in that posi-
ton. Sullivan called time and again
for Kilrain to get up and fight ike q
man and the latter finally did, when
Sullivan proceeded to finish him. IL
was not till the seventy-sixth round,
however, and after three hours OF
fearful fighting that Kilrain was nnai-
ly beaten into submission. His pun
ishment was terrible, his face being
mashed to a pulp.

from JefferSon City Jim LOTUS was d
changed man. He professed religion
and Joined the Christian or Campbell
ite church, as he proudly calls 1t. In
a short time he was preaching at the
churches and schoolhouses Of Ozark
county, and became noted preacher
Of his kind. He always carries Tes-
lament in his pocket and is we'll versed
in the Scriptures and ready for an ar
gument at any time.
But there Is one thing Jim Lotus
learned when little boy that he can
not be weaned from today, and that is
making whisky. When Stoney Williams
organized the Hammond Distilling
company and sought to outwit the To-
cal option law he hunted up Jim Lof-
tus and offered him the position of
distiller. Jim took the place without
much protest, and during the week
ground the corn meal, fermented the
"mash" and with an experienced eye
coils of metal immersed in cold wa
ter, causing the vapor to condense and
come out at the other end of the tube
in the shape Of whisky. Then when
Sunday came Jim LOTUS took his b.
BILE and went to Hog Danger" school
house or some other favorite meeting
place and held services.
Hog Danger" received its name
from Jim LOTUS. One Sunday after
noon he was delivering a sermon In
the little schoolhouse that stands not
far from where Bryant creek empties
into Turbulent North Folk. When In
| the middle Of his discourse Jim's flight
Of oratory was suddenly disturbed by
an unusual noise under the floor that
almost broke up the meeting. An in

Democrats for Macarthur

The Wausau Pilot proposes General
Arthur Macarthur as a candidate for
governor of Wisconsin on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and ex-Congressman Burr
w. Jones of Madison for lieutenant
governor, and Thomas j. Cunningham
of Chippewa Falls for Secretary of
State. 1t says:
Gen. Macarthur would be the ideal
candidate for governor, not only be-
cause of his great ability as an ad-
ministrator and executive, but because
of the general recognition that with
him as a candidate every pledge and
promise would be carried out by the
next governor of Wisconsin. There
are thousands and thousands of Re-
publicanS, and others who in past
years have refrained from voting, who
would rally under the leadership of
Gen. Macarthur. As a soldier-a
veteran of the Civil war, an officer of
Ehe regular army, promoted from the
lowest to the very highest grade,
Military Governor of the Philippines
he has measured up to every task and
duty. Never identified with party
politics he would neither be a DEM
ocratic governor nor Republican
governor; but he would make most
excellent governor. No one will be
more surprised than he at this sug-
gestion, but of all other men in Wis
consin today he is the man for the
place-the man of the hour-who
could lead his home state back to
sanity and restore to it its place of
honor among the states.
The Evening Wisconsin does not
know whether the Democrats will fol-
low this lead. AS an independent ex-
ponent of the best there is i'm Repub-
lican policies and endeavors, it refrains
as rule from intruding where Demo-
Gratis are chiefly concerned. But in
regard to the proposition of the Pilot
it feels like saying this-that with
the Democratic ticket which the
Pilot proposes the Republican candi-
dates, whoever they might be, would
have "foemen worthy of their steel. y

Mark Twain.

Samuel L. Clemens, or Mark Twain
as he was more popularity known, died
at his home In Redding, Conn.,, last
Thursday, after a brief illness. His
death has caused sorrow to all who
have read any of his writings, and
there are few who have not.
America claimed him as her
greatest of humoriStS, and America
is nation humorists. He enjoyed a
place in the world of literary men
peculiarly his own, and there are none
left to succeed him. He was not only
a wit, but proved himself to be at
the same time a man with high
sense of dignity and honor. This was
exemplified at the time he was living
in London in financial distress. His
American friends raised a purse
of 5000 for him, but he refused to
accept il, answering their impiora-
tionS in his Characteristic way.
That he was the soul of wit and
humor is wondered at when one
studies the financial and other revers-
es of hislife. He lost several fortunes.
accumulated money, then placed it in
some enterprise which would go to
the wall He lost $50, 500 in one deal
y
reverSeS serene and happy.
He began life as printers devil
developing into printer, and then
began wandering over the country,
working here and there at his trade.
These wanderings gained for him an
experience which was valuable later
in his literary work. At the outbreak
of the civil war he enlisted in the con-
federate army, but after few weeks
service he tired of soldiers life and
secured his discharge He was lin
capacitated for service on account of
fatigue as he put it. After spend
ing some time in the mining camps
of the West. he took upliterary work,
and followed it up to his death.
Last December his daughter was
found dead in q bath tub in their
home. Her death appeared 10 be the
greatest sorrow of his whole life, and
since that time he had gradually
failed in health.
He was born nearly Seventy-fiye
years ago. and the regret OF the world
is that he could he could not have
lived seyenty-siye years longer.
