It's Terrifying Wall Heralded the Death
of His Father.
In "Things l Can Tell" Lord Ross
more relates that he himself was born
in Dublin in 1853. HIS father was the
third Baron Rossmore, who married
Miss Josephine Lloyd of Farrinrory,
County Tipperary, and whose death
was duly heralded by the banshee:
Robert Rossmore was on terms of
great friendship with Sir Jonah and
Lady Darlington, and once when they
met at Dublin drawing room Ross
more persuaded the Barringtons to
come over the next day to Mount Ken
nedy, where he was then living. AS
the invited guests proposed to rise ear
ly they retired to bed in good time and
slept soundly until 2 o'clock in the
morning. when Sir Jonah was awaken
ed by wild and plaintive cry. He
lost no time i'm rousing his wife. and
the scared couple got up and opened
the window. which looked over the
grass plot beneath.

objects around the house were easily

eerie sound proceeded. Now thorough

her maid, who straightway would not

servants quarters. The uncanny noise
continued for about half an hour. when

There lived in Detroit a man who
was the champion letter writer to the
newspapers and to the heads Of all
public enterprises. One of his fads
was to write every day to President
Ledyard Of the Michigan Central rail-
road and tell Ledyard wherein he was
failing in the conduct Of his road.
There was letter for Ledyard every
morning. They annoyed him. and he
sent for his general counsel one day
and said: Russell, I'm getting tired of
these letters. will give you $4,000
more a year If you will find that man
and stop him for twelve months"
Three thousand dollars more a year
appealed to Russell, and he went out
to find the letter writer. He found
him and made business proposition.
snow, see here" he said, II want you
to stop writing letters to Mr.. Ledyard.
II you will quit for year will give
you 81, 800"
The letter writer consented gladly.
Things went along swimmingly for
eleven months. Ledyard was happy,
and Russell was happy. Then there
was a wreck on the road The letter
writer could not resist the opportunity,
and he wrote to Ledyard and told him
what he thought about the road and

Beer and Labor
1--WE hear sometimes Of the value
OF the beer trades as giving employ
ment and wages to labor. Here are
some figures which laboring men
will do well to ponder. They come
from report issued by the British
Board of Trade. by no means a
temperance pam phlet. This report
shows what per cent of all the
money spent in several industries
goes to labor in wages.
"In coal-mining, labor gets 90 per-
cent of the whole expeL diture: in
ship building. 81 per cent; in manu-
facture of clothing 81 per cent; in
railway operation, 80 per cent, in
furniture. 20 per cent; in beer per-
cent.
1.-The saloon is not an industry.
Look at these reliable figures: IN
Pennsylvania there are 1877 distiller-
les, 32l breweries. 1880 retailers
and 100000 employees. While the
traffic pays into the treasury OF the
state $1.8OO,OO0. the state has to ex-
pend in supporting the victims
which drink has produced $76.OO0.OOt
annually. 1t is carefully estimated
that it takes three men to make q
barrel of beer and twenty-five men
to make a suit of clothes. There is
part of the labor problem. Let men
spend their money for clothes in
stead of beer. and larger avenues ]
employment will be opened fol
hon est labor. In Chicago there is
one saloon for every 2l7 of the popu
lation. as against one grocery fol
377. and one meat shop for no OF the
people"

7 IRON RIVER J

From the Pioneer:

From the Pioneer:
A few weeks ago the Wisconsin
State Bank, of this city. decided to
assist in the development OF the
dairy industry tributary to Iron
River, by furnishing the money to
the farmers to buy cows, the bank
to take it's payment by division OF
the cream checks until the payment
is made. The proposition met with
instant favor and nearly every day
some farmer drops into the bank
and leaves his order for one, two or
a half-dozen head whatever number
he is able to take care of in addition
to the number he may now have.
Patrick Holden, of this city,
through his attorney, Ernest Sauve
has brought suit against tho Iron
River Lumber Company for $4,000
for personal injuries. Mr. Holden
fell through a hole in the hay loft
at the ccmpany's barn which was
covered over with hay, and was
therefor unobserved by Mr. Holder
The complaint alleges that the
company negligently suffered this
dangerous condition to exist and be-
cause of such negligence the plain
tiff was seriously injured and suf-
fered great pain.
DIR. p. B. Stewart, who practiced
medicine in this city and Lake Me-
bagamon several years ago, died at

FIGHT IS RENEWED
Secretary Watts Files Suit Against D
g. Wray After Conference Of
State Board.

Another aggressive move against the
local BARRIERS who have defied the au-
thority of the state board OF barber ex
aminers was made yesterday when D. j.
watts, secretary OF the board, swore to
second complaint against D. C, Wray
accusing him OF practicing without a IL
cense,
After the first complaint against Wray
was dismissed In the justice court, Wray
filed suit in the district court to recover
S5oOo damages from Watts for malicious
arrest and prosecution. conference be-
tween the barber board members, Gov
ernor Spry and the attorney general was
held Immediately after the suit was filed
and 1t was decided to undertake second
prosecution of Wray In order TO vindlcate
the board and strengthen the state law
governing the barber trade The com
plant filed yesterday was the outcome Of
that conference,
AT the conference Secretary Watts de-
clared that the first prosecution Of Wray
failed because the county attorneys Of
nee did not prosecute with sufficient
Vigor To this the county attorney re-
piled that the offense charged against
Wray did not come within the province
OF the barber law, He lntimated that the
law was defective, anyway, and could
not stand a test case.

mediately developed severe pain in the
stomach that rendered him almost IN
conscious. John Hempel, special deputy
sheriff at Saltair, brought the suffer,
ing man to the city last night and took
him to the emergency hospital at po-
lice headquarters, where he was at
tended by DR.. II. B. Sprague.
Recovering somewhat, Nichols was
