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 food the
business men and residents of the
place watched the waters carry away
the buildings that represented the
homes of business enterprises which
1t had taken years of effort to build.
Among the larger industries seemingly
wiped out within 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. .......-.-A

Six Prisoners Given Freedom.

Governor Osborn has exercised his
authority to pardon convicts by re-
leasing from the prisons OF the state
six men whose careers, the circum-
stances attending their being granted
clemency and the record which the
executive makes in one case, form
when taken together one of the most
unusual stories In the states prison
annals, filled as they are with excep-
tional human interest stories. One
man granted freedom is exiled from
this country; another is known as the
man serving life sentence of greater
length than any other in a Michigan
prison, while another enjoys the dis
tinction Of being a pioneer convict in
Marquette prison, having been sent
there among the first after it was
completed.
So far as is known the conditional
pardon granted James Burke is
unique in the history of this country
Burke revealed the plot to dynamite
Jackson prison and Governor Osborn
wrote on the order for his release:
within 72 hours after his release
Burke must proceed to Canada, where
he is to remain until his maximum
sentence has expired. less good time.
Burke's presence anywhere in the
United States between October 81.
1911, and May IL, 1919, will be con-
sidered violation of his pardon"
Burke is native of Canada sent to
prison for bank robbery. His tip
to the prison officials undoubtedly
saved the prison from wreck by dyna-
mite as the explosive was found on
his information and the wardens of all
three prisons Joined in recommend
ing his release in recompense for the
information.
Franklin C. Upright has been con-
fined in Jackson prison so long the
original record of his commitment is
lost. He entered the penitentiary
about 1851, for the murder of his
wife at Stanton. Upright shot her
down while intoxicated after accusing
her of unfaithfulness. She died short
ly afterwards, but it was claimed that
no one was sure but what an attack
OF measles had as much to do with
the wifes demise as the gunshot.
He was then thirty-seven years of age
and his release as model prisoner
was recommended by the board of
pardons and paroles.

Convention of State Teachers.

The fifty-ninth annual meeting
of the Michigan State Teachers
association-institute in Detroit No
vember 2 and will bring approx
mately 1000 visitors to the city and,
including the, Detroit members. will
mean an attendance Of about $500.
The Detroit enrolment is now about
1900.
Reports from out in the state re-
ceived by the focal committee indi-
cate that practically the full enroll
ment of the association will be in at
tendance, and that 1t will be the
largest meeting in the history of the
association.
The convention will be so large
that 1t will be necessary to divide up
into two sessions, one to be held at
the Light Guard armory and the
other at the Wayne pavilion. The
same programs will be given in each
place, the order of the numbers on
the program merely being inter
changed.
The Detroit Teachers association
will hold open house at the Cadillac
hotel and the Schoolmen's club at
the Normandie hotel for the enter
tainment Of the visitors

The Disturbing Rudder.

The Turkish navy appears to be in
the main an obsolete fighting machine.
Probably, however. 1t is better Of
ficered than half century ago. When
Lord Carlisle visited Constantinople
in 1854 he met a Turkish admiral
whose ignorance of naval matters was
equaled only by his horror of the sea.
If he went for q cruise he was invari-
ably seasick. On one occasion, when
prostrated in his cabin, hearing a
noise which grated on his ears, he
inquired whence it proceeded. From
the rudder of the ship" was the reply.
Then have the rudder removed imme-
diately," ordered the afflicted admiral.

Aviator Ely Dashed to Death.

In spite of premonition which
prompted him to- give the address OF
his wife to his mechanician, so she
could be notified in the event OF a
mishap, Eugene Ely, who gained
worldwide fame as the first aviator
to fly from and to the decks OF Unit
ed States warshps, ascended In his
aeroplane to make a sensational dip
at the state fair grounds at Macon,
Ga and few moments later plunged
$50 feet to his death.
Nlisjudging the distance, Ely start
cd his downward glide too soon while
running at mile a minute, and was
unable to rise. When the machine
crashed to earth the aviator was
hurled clear of it by nearly 100 feet.
He was unconscious when reached by
his mechanician. Frank Calm. and
died 10 minutes later, before he could
be removed to a hospital.

Wolf on Way to State Treasury.

Those in charge of the states finan-
ces are somewhat concerned over the
approach of the bankrupt season when
the treasury will be short of funds.
In previous years it has been just the
general fund which was short of cash.
but this year along about the first of
November the treasury will be bare
in reality. The only money left in the
treasury will be about $65, 900 in funds
deposited by receivers for defunct
banks, while in other years since the
deficit appeared to rule in the treas
ury, there has been wads of money
on hand, although it was not available
for the general expenses of state gov
ernment. This time there will not be
dollar of state money left when the
wolf takes possession.
1t costs about $500,000 a month to
run the state, which means that there
will be shortage of about $1,250,00
by the middle of next January when
the taxes begin to come in again. In
view of this situation, 1t Is not prob
able that state officials will attempt
to borrow any money to tide over the
scanty period, as the limit is fixed at
$250,00O and that amount will not go
very far towards meeting the demands
which the state makes upon a strong
box for ready money.
AS has been stated, there has been
placed in the budget the sum of $780,
900 with which to clear away this de-
felt next year, but some state officials
express doubt as to whether that will
clear up the shortage in view of the
fact that the deficiency this year is
liable to be over million.

John r. Walsh Dies Suddenly.

John r. Walsh, former banker, pub
Usher. and railroad owner, released
recently from Leavenworth federal
penitentiary, died suddenly in Chi
cago of heart disease.
Mr.. Walsh had been in bed most
of the time since his arrival home
from Leavenworth, Oct. 10.
He had been attended constantly by
physicians. Intermittent reports of
Mr.. Walsh's failing health during his
incarceration had been denied at the
penitentiary. On his release, it was
plain that he had aged and he gave
up plans for resumption of his posi-
tion as a financial leader and took to
his bed.

Every Manchu Was Killed.


Six packed steamers arrived in
Shanghai from Hankow carrying
refugees The steamer Belgravia
was occupied exclusively by foreign
passengers, who were given free ac-
commodations at the direction of the
consuls in Hankow. The ship was so
crowded that many of the passengers
slept on the floors Of the hold.
The refugees declare that the
whole Yangtse valley from Hankow
to Shanghai is in the hands OF the
rebels, with the possible exception Of
one or two Of the larger cities, to
which provincial officials have retir-
ed with their available troops. 1t
has been insistently stated that Kiu
Kiang, $50 miles below Hankow, is
under revolutionary control. This is
denied, however, by foreign officials
and by the representatives OF the chi
nese customs service.

tack on WI Chang as given by the
refugees emphasize particularly the
massacre of the Manchus in that
city. In the slaughter neither age
nor sex was regarded, and 1t is doubt
full, the refugees say, whether SIN

race was left alive there. Similar
