San Mateo brand of cigars and
who halls from Wausau, was
here last Thursday in company
of H. T. Schroeder of the same

atoban. and later in the season

Long lake without any luck

those big pike advertised in this

right, but ran amuck of the re

THIS TOWN PATRIOTIC
VIII Be a Noise Producer of
Some Note on Independ-
ence Day Celebrate With
Us.

Eagle River business mems eff
forts to celebrate in fitting
manner the day of independence
Of these United States, which ac-
cording to all weather forecasts,
information bureaus and .calen-
dars falls upon next Monday. the
fourth day Of the month called
July.
July is a tribute to Caesar.
One day, with some other insur-
gents he talked by the Pillar OF
Pompey on things political.
lust as he was on the point Of
explaining the key to some gov
eminent riddle, a party eff regu-
lars jumped him and cut him in
two in the middle. At any rate
Anthony found him cut up into
fodder for fishes. And thus it
happened and shall be so long as
the ]iber runs BY the Pillar of
Pon,pey that Caesar shall live ia
the name of July.
The dynamite cap and rocket
shall remind US of tyranny
thwarted, and the valiant fore
father shall turn in his coffin to
see what a big thing he started.
The eagle shall mount on his pin
IONS and circle the North and the
South, and the ,rapid-fre orator
stand on the platform and shoot
off his mouth. The latter, how
ever. is harmless.in a strict path
illogical way, but remains not
withstanding an evil we must in
dye season allay. At any rate
.1rfeffries and Johnson will (on this
dav) growl like a couple of dis
gruntled poodles and observe in
dependence with beating the
hair off their mutual noodles.
= And a great many other things
will transpire upon that d ay
(Tuly 4thl and what we started
out to tell you was that the
only town with a place reserved
on the patriotic map that day
will be Eagle River. All rail
roads, even the Monico- Waters
meel brapch of the Northwestern
will run their regular trains reg
uIariy that day for this towns
benefit and VIII charge the reg
,ilarfare just although it WASH
a day Of independence.
So many things will happier
at Eagle Rivers celebration that
there isn't room enough upon
the billboard to chronicle them.
There are to be parades, launch
races, foot races, horse races, a
log rolling contest, and other
contests and then some more
contests, and. ipterrningied
among these amusements will be
patriotic speeches by patriotic
speakers, music by the band and
,hrecraclers galore from II to
- m. Then comes the fireworks.
It's to be a glorious Fourth for
Eagle River and all those who
have promised to come from
nearbv towns-Conover, Hack
lev. State Line, Donaldson, Three
Lakes, Natersmeet, Gagen, Mon
leo and the rest.

RESULT OF BLUNDER
PASSENGER TRAIN CRASHES IN
TO MOTOR CAR AS RESULT
OF HASTE OF CONDUCTOR.
Three Passengers Dangerously In
jured, While Many Others Have
Terrifying Experience In
VerItabIe Death Trap.

Ogden, Utah.-In a head-on coils
ion between a motor car used on the
Malad branch of the Oregon Short
Line and a passenger train, in the
railroad yards in this city, the motor
car was wrecked and the thirty or
more passengers had severe shak-
ing up, at least three being danger
ously injured.
The passenger train from the north
was a few minutes late, and impatient
to get start for the north, the motor
car in charge of Motorman Case and
Conductor H. w. Logan is said to have
disregar6ed orders to meet the south
bound train in the local yards, and at
tempted to make the town track" by
way of the Twenty-second street
crossing, the result being a head-on
collision
None of the passengers on the south
bound train were injured in the least.
Had either train been travelling at a
high rate of speed, the loss of life In
the motor car would undoubtedly have
been appalling. Passengers who were
on the car and escaped without in
jury say that the motor cars would
prove veritable death traps in a case
of serious wreck, as there is no way
to get out except through narrow
doorway, the round windows being toe
small to admit human body.
