TO DEVELOP BIG MINES

jeremiah Nowlan and two sons,
James and Edward, of Denver, ar
rived in Blackfoot this week and left
Wednesday fer the Petersen creek
country, where last year they discov-
cred a large deposit of tungsten, one
OF the rarest of minerals, used in the
tungsten steel end lamps. Last year
the gentlemen took about 1900 lbs
o. mineral to Denver and the assay
showed that it was of the finest quail
dty. The gentlemen are experts on
this kind of mineral and claim that
this deposit is the largest known
quo nifty in the w-rld. They will de-
velop the property this year.

Help was soon at the scene of the ac-
cident and heroic efforts were put
forth to rescue the imprisoned man
For several hours all attempts at res

possible to get to him ON account Of
the continued sliding I'M of gravel. At
$3.50 a. m. Tuesday efforts in that
direction we're abandoned and a shaft
Was started down the side of the old
we'll, AMID by heroic efforts he was
rescued AIT 1885 p. m. Tuesday, after
having been imprisoned for over
twenty-six hcurs. Mr.. Merkler was
very Fortunate to escape with no
broken bones or Internal injuries, al
though he was pau7alyzed from the
cold and immense pressure of the
gravel against him, but We are assure
that he will be able to be out and
about his business as usual in a few
days. The people Of the surround
ing country are to be highly CON-
mended for their ceaseless vigil and
untiring efforts in the work of res

TALK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

Miss Sarah w. Ryder of Chicago,
gave very interesting talk to the
pupils of the high school, yesterday,
on the subject of the "White Plague"
She told of the numerous deaths
from this disease and explained how
easy it is to become infected with
the tubercular germs. One person in
the early stages of tuberculosis may
unconsciously infect the entire COM
munity, and because of this great
danger she advised the establishment
of a sanitarium if possible. She
stated that during her visit to this
city she had discovered seventy-three
cases of tuberculosis, which was prob
ably one-half the number of cases
existing in Wausau.
She told of the efforts being made
to conquer the disease and how it is
being cured.
She then told how it was possible
not to get this disease. By using
precaution to get out of range of
people infected with tuberculosis and
by refusing to patroniZe the same
restaurants the danger can be greatly
eliminated.
In order to carry on the campaign
against this disease requires vast
amount of money and she told of the
different ways the society managed
the economic side of the question.

THERE WAS ONE TOO MANY
Farmer Suspicious of Literary Mans
Methods of Rearing
Children.

The following is told at the expense
OF a New York literary man, into
whose family a fifth child came last
summer
The family were at their country
house in the north of the state, and
for time much of the care of the
other four children devolved upon the
father, who entertains some Spartan
notions touching the rearing of his
sons.
One morning he carried his tree
year-old to the creek near his home, to
give him cold plunge. The lad OBJ
jected vigorously to this proceeding.
but was firmly held and ducked, de-
spite his protests.
Just as the father was sending in"
the youngster for the second time, a
powerful hand stayed him, and he
found himself in the grasp of big
farmer, neighbor of his, who began
to roar at him in this wise:
None O. that! None O. that, or I'll
hand you over to the law!"
1t consumed the better part of half
an hour to convince the farmer that
no attempt was being made to drown
the child. Even at the end, the
brawny tiller of the soil was not en-
tirely convinced, for he kept shaking
his head doubtfully and murmuring:
Il dunno about that, dunno You
got four besides this. "-Lippincott's.

MANUFACTURERS, representatives of
labor and the members of the state
labor commission met last Saturday
at the rooms of the Merchants and
Manufactures association in Milwau-
and discussed regulations for the pro-
lection of machinery and for equipping
it with safety devices.
Some thirty rules pertaining to the
care of set screws, the setting of band
saws, the regulation of the change OF
bolts and other protective methods
were discussed and copies of the rules
were finally given to all those present
at the meeting, who will study on
them for two weeks and report at
another meeting of the same persons
with the labor commission in two
weeks.
1t is understood the rules which the
commission proposes to promulgate
for the protection of machinery are
very like in many details the protec-
tive rules now in force at plants of
the international Harvester company.

Stephenson To Be Cleared.
Communicated

Senator Stephenson is to be exoner-
ated, exculpated, acquitted, absolved.
The aureole is forming, the white
wash is slackening. Appotheosis
awaits him. The generous, confding,
innocent, immaculate, guileless states
man triumphs overhis greedy, sordid,
mercenary, ambitious political rivals.
No gang of horse thieves ever took
more pains to cover their tracks to
elude pursuit and escape capture than
did his henchmen. MOTHER company
of experienced and able business men
and political wire pullers ever failed
more completely to make record Of
business transactions amounting to
more than a hundred thousand dol
lars, or were more incapable of re-
calling them. So incompetent in
business methods and so feeble mind
ed in explaining them, they yet
Itriumphed against tremendous odds.
And now the citizens of Wisconsin
are called upon to bow down and do
homage to a besmirched and besmeared
and whitewashed superanuate, ment-
ally, morally, and politically bankrupt.
Do honest business men engaged in
honorable business find it necessary to
send the record of their transactions
! out of the state for concealment, or
destroy them or erase all knowledge
of them from their memory? Did
Ike Stephenson so conceal his activi-
ties when re gave Lawrence college
the money to build Science hall ?
Was he so secretive when he gave the
site for the Marinette County Train
ing School and School of Agriculture,
and the money for the building? Is
not his name on both buildings to
emblazon his generosity to genera
tions yet unborn?
Is it not evident that falsehood and
perjury are written large over all this
miserable business ? Do we not stulti-
| fly our reason and shame our inteli-
gence when we profess to believe him
innocent, the victim of a base con-
spiracy? Y. Y. 4.

e. E. Schlegel of Athens, died
Wednesday night in Milwaukee hos
pital, after a short illness. Starting

it was determined that he was suffer
ing from an abscess on the brain,
with absolutely no hope of recovery.
He continued to fail until the end
came.

ness man of his home village. He
was vice-president of the Bank of
Athens. and was financially interested
in the Ceres Roller Mills and other
business enterprises. He was also
president of the village. He was still

mans usefulness is considered, and
had much before him.
Mr.. Schlegel had resided in the vii
lage great many years, coming there
from West Bend. He was married to
Mary Boehm, an Athens girl, by
whom he is survived as well as by
seven children.
The funeral services were conducted

ENGLISH MONEY DOWN SOUTH
Being Invested to Large Extent in
Railroad and Industrial
Enterprises.

For several years prior to the Bar
ing failure English capital was being
invested to a very large extent in
southern railroad and industrial enter
prises. At the time Of the Barring col
lapse many negotiations were under
way in England, with good prospects
Of success, for other large investments
in the purchase of mineral and timber
properties, in the building Of railroads
and in various undertakings looking to
broad development of southern re-
sources.
Following that failure, and the col
lapse of business and financial inter
ests In this country with the panic Of
1893 and the free silver agitation Of
the next few years, English capital
sought other channels for investment.
This condition has existed for nearly
twenty years, but now there is a
married. revival of interest on the part
of English capital in southern invest
ments.
Within the last few months English
cotton manufacturers have put $4,000
900 into the purchase of cotton lands
in Mississippi and 100000 into a
great irrigation enterprise in Texas.
Negotiations are now under way in
England for the financing of some
large water power enterprises and a
number of other undertakings, the
carrying out of which would prove of
very great value to the south.
