Reports Men would blow up
Train

A man. believed to be demented eaus-
ed alarm among dispatchers of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad com
pany and the Chicago. Milwaukee & St
Paul Railroad company and among
train crews and passengers on two
tracks on those lines about 3 o'clock
this morning by reporting that he over
heard a conversation held by two men
during which they said they were go
ing to dynamite passenger train leav-
ing this city As result of the report
two trains were held at the depot for a
half hour, one road sent a switch en-
CINE and crew north and south several
miles and the other road sent trainmen
out on the fine to see if dynamite had
been placed on the right Of way in this
vicinity. Nothing to cause alarm was
discovered, and the man, whose name
is John Walchowski was taken to the
police station and his sanity will be
tested in court court this afternoon.
Walchowski has been employed as an
extra operator by the st, Paul road un
til last February, when he was dis
charged, He telephoned from the of
fee of the Western Union Telegraph
company to the dispatcher at the
Northwestern depot a moment after
the arrival of the train from the north
about 3 o clock, and gave his account
of the threats to dynamite a passenger
train on one of the two roads. The dis
patcher held the train. notified St.
Paul road dispatcher, and requested
the man to walk to the office. He sum-
rnoned two policemen, who stopped at
the Western Union office and brought
Walchowski to the depot. The passen-
ger train was run slowly some distance
beyond the junction depot, but no dyna
mite was found on the tracks. An en-
ploye was sent north to investigate and
he reported the right of way clear of
any explosive.
The St. Paul dispatcher, in the mean
time, got out switch engine and or
dered trip as far as DePere to see if
there was any danger in running the
passenger train. no explosive was
found on the tracks south or north of
the city.
Wachowski, according to the train
men and police officers, who talked to
him this morning acted as though his
mental faculties had been affected
through drinking too freely Of intoxi-
cants. He had been employed as an
operator and railroad men think he i'm
agined some one was intent upon des-
tr Dying z train.

FACTS TO PONDER.

The propaganda for the development
of upper Wisconsin may be reduced to
few simple. plain and indi sputable
propositions. Prominent among them
are:
The land will produce the finest Glow
er and grasses in the world.
1t is the natural habitat of the dairy
man.
The average yield of corn per acre is
greater than in the middle central corn
belt.
Wheat will grow as well as in the
Dakotas.
Barley can be produced as proftably
as anywhere in the United States.
Climate and soil combine to produce
apples and small fruit in abundance
and of the finest variety.
1t leads every other section in potato
growing.
Root crops attain an excellence of
size and flavor unexcelIed any where.
All the common garden vegetables
grow in profusion The land is cheap.
easily cleared. level or gently rolling,
and of inexhaustible fertility.
The climate is excellent, the sum-
mers being warm and pleasant. the
winters dry and free from destructive
storms, aud the falls delightful.
The rainfall is steady and depend
able, coming when it is most needed
and droughts being almost unknown.
1t possesses all the advantages Of the
most favored sections with none Of the
disadvantages which render farming
precarious in many otherwise good aRr
cultural localities.
These facts can all be sustained by
proof Of the most convincing character.
They should be pondered by every
man. VINO has been tempted to look else
where f,r an opportunity TO til the
soil slore important. perhaps. they
should be brought to the attention of
every man in crowded eastern states
who is contemplating a change TO
more hospitable regions. To get these.
and other equally significant facts be-
fore the people in the right way. viii

The United States Geological Survey

Marshall, chief geographer r. is avail
able for free distribution and can be
had on application to the Director of
the Survey at Washington. D. C. The
work in Michigan from 1901 to 1909. in
elusive. was done in cooperation with
the State. The report gives the exact
elevations above mean sea level of
more than 800 points in Michigan and
about 600 points in Wisconsin. These
elevations have been determined by
the Survey in connection with its topo-
graphic surveying. To engineers and
surveyors this publication should be of
great advantage. as the elevations
which have been accurately determined
afford a starting point for a survey of

Their plan is to give the farmers pre-
ference owe, the dealers. The whole
sale price of the prison made twine
has been fixed at and quarter cents
per pound in lots of 5000 pounds or
more. For smaller lots a rate Of 9
cents is made. This enables the far
mer to buy twine as cheap as the deal
er. and cheaper than the dealer can
buy trust made twine at wholesale.
While complete plans for marketing
the twne have not been perfected. it
is planed that tie title to twine shall
remain in the name of She state until
sold to actual consumers, Since the
twine will be sold at less than whole
sale price of other makes, 1t is appar-
ent that some such safeguard should
be put upon the product of the plant to
keep the trust or wholesale dealers
from buying the entire output TO elm
mate competition. BY SO dong the en-
tire benefits of the plant will accure to
the people of the state.

the stream Of bills into both houses

hundred measures had been intro
fiuced in the House and some two
hundred in the Senate at the close OF

The House seems to be eager for
Investigations and has instituted two
that may prove of far-reaching i'm
portance, while others are proposed.
One of these Investigations, conduct
Ell by the committee on public ac-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Mrs. Osborn Receives Bad Bsrss

ai1y Injured

Mrs. JAS. Osborn of Westport was
seriously burned by gasoline at her
home in that village Wednesday eye-
ming.
Mrs. Osborn went down cellar about
eight o'clock, carrying lighted lam
tern in one hand and in the other =
fruit jar containing cup full of gas
oline. BY some means the gasoline
caught fire and flashed up, catching
in the woman's, clothing. She ran
screaming up stairs, where her hus-
band caught her, threw blanket
around her and smothered the flames.
The alarm was spread and in few
minutes several neighbors arrived
and rendered such assistance as was
possible. A physician was summoned
from Willard and he was soon on the
scene. Before his arrival the neigh
bors removed the woman's clothiag
and applied olive oil to the burns and
covered them to keep the air out.
Mrs. Osborn was badly burned on
the right hand and arm, the left
hand and wrist, on the body under
and back of the left arm, and on the
lower part, of the face. It is not
thought that she inhaled any name.
Her burns are serious and extremely
painful bnt not dangerous.
Mr.. Osborn has had charge Of tho

completed a new home. The family
had hardly got settled in this new
