WORKING HOURS OF: WOMEN
Several States Have Passed Laws
Limiting Them to Sixty Hours
or Less a Week.

During their last session the legisla-
lures of several states passed new
laws regulating the number of work
Ing hours for women. South Carolina
passed law limiting them to go per
week in mercantile houses and the
textile mills, Of which there are SO
many in the state.
In Ohio and Massachusetts, 81
hour bill has been enacted. The Ohio
bill applies to everything excepting
hotels and mercantile establishments.
Utah and Missouri have also passed
nine-hour laws, says Health Culture.
The ten-hour law which the legisla-
ture ct Illinois enacted In 1909 is en-
larged so as to include practically
every kind of establishment where
women are employed.
Wisconsin has established a 55-
hour week, excepting night work,
which is less. Minnesota has strength
ened its ten-hour law by extending the
penalty for violation SO as to include
manufacturing and mechanical estab-
lishments. The states OF Washington
and California have passed eight-hour
day laws for women. The law of
Washington applies to the usual mer-
camille and mechanical establish
ments, restaurants, hotels and laun-
dries, but the California act applies
also to telegraph. telephone. express
and transportation Offices.

Critical Moment.

At the beginning of the Civil war
men who knew little about military
tactics were sometimes temporarily in
command of small bodies of the troops
which fiocked into Washington, and It
is said that Senator Henry Wilson of
Massachusetts, afterward vice-presi-
dent of the United States, was for a
time assigned to the captaincy Of a
company Of recruits from his native
state. He assisted In drilling them to
the best Of his ability, but one after
noon, as he marched at their head up
Pennsylvania avenue, he met his Wa
terloo. He had been getting along
very well and was beginning to feel
quite proud Of the proficiency of his
men, when he suddenly realized that
the coping and fence extending south
from the treasury building was right
In his forward patch. He could not
think of the order which would swing
his command into Fifteenth street,
and thereby avoid the obstacle. Near
er and nearer the company approach

heels. when In desperation he shout

cHoKED BIG DOG TO DEATH
New York Truck Driver Fought Vic
ious Newfoundland and Saved
Several School Children.

With his bare hands. Harry Edise,
II years old, fought and choked to
death a Newfoundland dog, which had
attacked several school children. Only

Edise was without weapon of any

ran at the dog and kicked him. The
brute Immediately turned its attention
to Its assailant and leaping at Edise
fastened its teeth In his left arm.
Edise succeeded in breaking the hold
when the dog again seized him, this
time catching the fingers of his left
hand.
With his free hand Edlse grabbed
the dog by the throat and despite its
struggles, held on. The choking
forced the animal to release its grip
on the left hand of Edise, and he
threw tho beast to the sidewalk, knelt
on It to- prevent it squirming loose
and while great crowd gathered
and stood helpless he ohoked the
animal to death.-New York Globe

THE WAUSAU STREET r. r. CO.

The Wausau Street r. r.. Co. has
been making temporary repairs at
the east end of the guard lock since
the July flood. Its work was
stopped by the high water of last
week. As soon as possible the COM
pany will build guard lock of con-
crete, and it will be 300 feet long and
eight or ten feet higher than the old
one, extending from the foot of Scott
street to the east side of Clarke's
Island, to be equipped with four large
gates for immediate use in case of
future floods. 1t will also have an open
ing for trains to run to inc mills be-
low. This, with the work of build
ing that part of its dam which was
washed out, will be entirely of
concrete; concrete retaining wall to
protect the Plumer island and con-
crete retaining wall of about 900 feet
TO protect the tail races, will keep
many men Busy for some time.
The damage to this company, In
one way and another, by the floods,
has been enormous. Notwithstand-
ing, under the able supervision of its
manager, NJ. G. Ewing, the company
is rushing repair work, building more
substantially in every way than be-
fore so as 20 be better prepared to
cope with future high waters.
The company will necessarily have
to generate electricity by steam power
until this vast amount of work is
finished.

HAIL DOES GREAT DAM.
AGE.
Storm Wednesday Forenoon Leaves a
Trail Of Wreck and Ruin
In Its Wake.


Wednesday forenoon, about, eleven
O'Clock, the severest storm that has
ever visited this section broke in the
vicinity of the Otto farm on the
Knowlton road, completely demolish-
ing crops OF all kinds In some places,
and working damages on others that
will be irrepairable this year. The
storm lasted about an hour, half the
time hail stones falling in sheets.
Vegetation was literally stripped to
the ground, in places trees standing as
bare as in the middle Of January.
Corn was split into threads and oats
were threshed in the fields, while in
some instances the ground wasswashed
away from the roots of potatoes to
such an extent that the crops viii be
total loss. After the storm had
passed great heaps of hail stones lay
about in the fields where they had
rolled and it would have been possible
to have shoveled them Tito wagon
and hauled them off by the load. In
some instances the pellets were as
large as eggs. One that was picked
up in the vicinity of the Otto farm
was brought into town and weighed,
tipping the scales at more than three
ounces. The damage on this farm,
it is estimated, will amount to fully
thousand dollars. Great damage was
also done crops on the farms OF e.
Bush, Geo. Raymond, John Linder,
ID. G. Burnett and S. G. Fletcher, and
also in the Italian settlement. More
or less damage was done on all of the
farms in that vicinity, but south of
the Otto farm, with the exception of
the George Ahles farm little or none
was done. On the latter farm, damage
to nearly the same extent rs on the
Otto place resulted.
Martin Micholaweski had new
house in the course of construction,
and his basement was literally filled
to the top with hail stones. After
the storm he took his team and scraper
and hauled them out to prevent dam
age from the water formed by the
melting ice. Mosinee Times.

OLD HosEs ARE GOING FAST
Before the War" Mansions of the
South. With Their Romance,
Are Disappearing.

The grand old before the war"
homes, STEPPED in romance and dear
to the heart of the children of the old
south, are fast going. Set in a grove
OF oaks, the big house with its impos-
ing columns, ample veIandas and it's

be no more. Some of these old man
sions have fallen into wreck and
ruin; hundreds have been burned.
The surviving ones are relics Of an
age that Is past.
For several years there has been a
movement In the south for smaller
farms. This movement has been con-
stantly accelerated. And 1t means
much for the welfare Of this section.
The old plantations were manageable
only when labor could be relied upon

pass his life In the employment of
another.

most important matters that are TO

Commissioner North stated yester-
