TOWN IS BEING REBUILT
Flood of Waters Has Not Taken Black
River Falls, Wis.,, From the Map.

More than million dollars absolute
ly disappearing in the short time Of
two hours was the toll collected by the
waters at Black River Falls, Wiscon-
sin. Even the residents of the town
could not realize what it meant until
the lake formed by the Hatfield dam
was dry, and the rush of waters had
passed on to the Mississippi.
Just out Of reach of the flood the
business men and residents of the
place watched the waters carry away
the buildings that represented the
homes Of business enterprises which
it had taken years of effort to build.
Among the larger industries seemingly
wiped out within q few minutes was
the plant of Coles Carbolisalve. This
plant, along with others that suffered a
like fate, is today being rebuilt, and
the business men of Black River Falls
promise that better town shall re.
place the one destroyed by the raging
floods, and that just as rapidly as men
and material can put it together. 1t is
catastrophies like the breaking Of the
Hatfield dam that demonstrate the
American spirit.

RESTRAlNS TRACK REMOVAL
Peshtigo Lumber Company Secures
an Injunction Against Wisconsin
and Michigan Railroad.

Marinette.-A temporary injunc-
ton has been secured by the Peshtigo
Lumber company, restraining the
Wisconsin and Michigan railway
from tearing up eight miles of track
between Peshtigo and Peshtigo Har-
Dor. The Peshtigo Lumber company
originally owned the line to Peshtigo
Harbor and turned it over to the rail-
road under certain conditions. The
railroad company has abandoned
traffic on the line and announced its
intention of tearing up the tracks.
1t is understood that the lumber
company still claims an interest IN
the line and that it will fight the
tearing up of the property until a
settlement is made.

How Board of Health Copes With
Rabies Epidemic in State-Free
Treatments Proposed.

Madison,-Out of 200 cases of
rabies treated under the direction OF
the state board of health, only one
has proved fatal,
Although rabies has been prevail
ent in the state for many years, no
systematic examination nor methods
Of prevention were used until the fall
of 1907. In that year rabies became
very pronounced in the neighborhood
Of BelOit, and then the disease took
a general direction to the northeast.
Successfully rabid animals were
reported from GAINESVILLE, Milton
Junction, Watertown, Oshkosh, Green
Bay and Marinette. Scattering cases
of the state. The majority of rabid
animals, however, came from the
eastern district.
After the legislature had refused
to establish d Pasteur institute the
outbreak of rabies in the state be-
came so severe that DR.. C. A. Harper
and DR.. Ravenel determined to be-
gin the treatment at once. Up to
the present time 1875 cases have been
treated and only one death has oc-
Cured.
More recently cases of rabies have
been sent to the laboratory from the
neighborhood of La Crosse and from
the eastern and southeastern parts of
the state. This is evident that the
disease is continuing to spread in
Wisconsin.
The death rate in Wisconsin from
rabies is considerably lower than in
many other states where no Pasteur
institute is maintained. At pres
ent charge of SIS is made, which
covers approximately the actual ex-
pense of the laboratory treatment.
AS soon as possible the state board
of health and the laboratory propose
to give the treatment free to all APP
plicants who are citizens Of Wiscon-
sin.

RATE WAR FOR ORE BUSINESS
RESULT OF COMPETITION FOR
GUYANA RANGE TONNAGE.
Hill Road to Run Spur to Properties
D., M. G N. Announces Cut
Rate.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 25.-Of vital i'm
portance to shippers of ore is the an
nouncement made by prominent min
ing men OF this district that the North
ern Pacific railroad will run spurs to
the Guyana range and compete with
the Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste
Marie road for the ore business there.
1t is further stated that rate war
will result.
The fight for tonnage promises to
be long struggle The competition
Will mean lower rates on ore from the
Guyana, the building of new ore docks
by both roads and the immediate de-
Velopment of several new ore proper
ties on the Guyana.
What may be considered was the
first tentative step taken in the Soo-
Northern Pacific fight is the movement
made by the 500 last week when it
engaged contractors to drive test piles
Tor proposed extension of 500 feet
to the new 500 docks, which were built
last year in st. Louis bay.
The Northern Pacific has through a.
HN''iNie'AJ vi uOiuluS corporation
known as the Northwestern Develop
meHt company, virtually obtained con-
troll OF the bulk Of the best ore prop
ertles on the south range of the Guy
una range, which is tributary to the
Northern Pacific lines.
Local men who have keenly watched
the Guyana range say that the North
ern Pacific has enough tonnage in
sight at the present time to keep the
railroad busy hauling for the next %
years.
Ore Rate Cut Announced.
w. A. McGonagle, president of the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroad.
ofnclaily Informed the state railroad
and warehouse commission that his
road would file reduced rate for iron
ore. He said the new rate would be 60
cents per ton for all hard ore. The
Iron Range rate varies from 80 cents
to 81 per ton The Great Northern
railroad has fiat rate of so cents.
At present the rate from Ely to Two
Harbors is 81 ton and from Tower
80 cents q ton.
The reduction will mean a heavy cut
IN the state revenues, though it would
not be felt this year. A % per cent re,
duction, he said, would mean a shrink
age of about $250,00O.

STEPHENSON PROBE WITNESS
ACCUSES DETECTIVE AND
ANOTHER MAN.
DECLARES STORY Is A FRAME-UP
Intended to Bleed tephenson-Denie
Saying That Shields Came to
"Buy Up" LegisIa-
ture.

Milwaukee, Oct. 25.-H W. Wood, a
former Minneapolis private detective
was accused before the United States
senate committee investigating into
charges of alleged corruption and
bribery in connection with the election
of Senator Isaac Stephenson Of hav.
ing plotted with Frank r. Souther to
blackmail Senator Stephenson by
threats to give false testimony before
the committee.
The witness was NJ. J. Regain, a
Milwaukee business man. According
to the testimony given by Wood and
Souther, Regain had told them that
Shields, coming from Washington, had
met Regain by appointment in Mil
waukee; that Shields said he had I'M
limited money to purchase Democratic
members of the legislature, who were
to remain away SO that Stephenson
might be elected; that Shields wanted
Regain to go to Madison to carry on
the deal, but that Regain refused and
Shields himself went
Taking the stand after they had
given this testimony, Regain denied
that he had ever made any such state,
ment, but on the contrary testified
that Wood and Souther had framed
up the story with a view Of obtaining
money from Senator Stephensons at
tcrneys to suppress it.
Talked Of Convicted Man.
II did meet Wood and Souther after
Stephenson's election. What / talked
to them about was this: Frank T..
Wagner had been convicted and sen
fenced TO the penitentiary for perjury
for testifying falsely in the legislative
investigation of Senator Stephenson.
Wagner had testified that looking
through a transom or a Milwaukee
hotel he had seen me pay out $500
to three Democratic assemblymen
the same assemblymen who after
wards absented themselves when
Stephenson was elected.
"NoW, | felt others beside Wagner
were behind that story. | had evi
dence that it was concocted and Wag
ner had been coached as to what to
Sdy, IL DC4LS uuuGISiOOQ WASu lie
told it, those opposed to Senator
Stephenson would attempt to substan
tiate it. A former attorney general of
Wisconsin went so far as to say he
had a tiashlight photograph OF the
scene in the hotel room as | was
passing over the money.
After Wagner testified, his story
was found to be SO improbable that
all the state Investigating committee
could do was to repudiate it. Ny pllr-
pose was to put the others where Wag
ner was and to this end | talked to
Souther and Wood. [ told them incl,
dentally / had received some tele-
grams from Shields, but they were in
reference to business.
Il mentioned nothing whatever
about Shields having had unlimited
money to purchase the Legislature"
His contradiction of the statements
by Wood and Souther will necessitate
the recall of numerous witnesses, i'll
Guiding Shields. Wagner, who was
paroled from the penitentiary, also
has been summoned.
