BANKERS WARNED TO
BEWARE OF ROBBERS
Dynamite Stolen Prom Quarry Excites
Suspicion That. Yegemen
May Be Here.

The burglary Of quantity of dyna
mite and fuse from the stone quarry
on the west side Of the river some
time Monday night, fact that was
discovered this morning, becomes
quite momentous in view of the fact
that the Wisconsin Bankers associa-
tioD, in bulletin dated September
26, heralds the fact that crooks and
safe blowers with regulations are
known to be in Wisconsin. 1t is also
a coincidence of considerable specula-
tive Importance that detective of
the association was in the city today.
The stolen dynamite consisted of
fifty-four sticks of sixty per cent
grade, weighing about twenty-seven
pounds. This was taken from the
storage house of the Krembs Hard
ware Co., located on the quarry prop
erty. The lock on this building, as
well as a number # others, includ-
ing the quarry power plant, from
which about tifty-four feet of fuse
was taken, had been broken.
The Bankers association detective
believes that the robbery was the
work of professional safe-crackers,
some Of whom have recently been
seen in junction City. That whoever
did the job wanted the explosive and
fuse and nothing else is obvious and it
is hard to conceive of anyone except
yeggman taking such chances to Sc
cure it. According to the warning
bulletin, which is illustrated with
photographs OF fifteen men with
states prison records, "One-eyed
Kelly" participant in the memoir
able bank robbery at Amherst, March
9, 1899, is one of those believed to be
in the state.
The bulletin says, in part: "This
Is the burglary season and bankers
should keep vault doors closed as
much as possible. Carefully scrutin-
ize strangers that descriptions of
them may be given If necessary. Day
light holdups seem to have been un-
dertaken in several states this fall.
Be on guard and prepared for attack.
AS result Of the dynamite theft
and what are apparently correlated
circumstances, additional warnings
have been sent to banks throughout
this section.
James Kelly's associates in the
Amherst bank robbery were John
Harrington, j. Burnes and Edward
Ratigan. 1t is believed they drove
from this city, committed the bur
glary, and then came back here.
They secured s5,s67.65 in cash and
two government bonds of $1,000 each.
They were arrested at Wausau and
upon their trial were sentenced by
Judge Webb to the state prison.

A London advertising solicitor was
sent up into the midlands to get btIsi-
ness for a special edition of a daily
paper dealing with an important in
dustry The king pin Of this industry
was a manufacturer of great repute, a
baronet, whose actions determined pol
icy in the trade. but it was said he
had never spent penny for adyertis-
ing. The success of this special edA-
ton turned on Sir John. If this i'm
portant parsonage could be landed for
an advertisement others would come
in as matter of course.
The solicitor went after Sir John
first. He tried to see him. but failed.
He wrote to him, but got no reply.
Finally an arrangement was made
with his private secretary whereby the
latter was to do2e for five minutes on
certain afternoon, and the solicitor
vas to slip into Sir Johns Office on
his, own responsibility, providing his
own introduction.
This plan worked out az right. The
advertising solicitor got in. Sir John
looked up threateningly when the door
opened to admit stranger 1t was a
large office, and as the intruder hur-
ried across to where the manufactures
sat he could see storm clouds rising.
The moment he was within earshot
he said
'Sir John, / am staff investis ltor
| for the Clarion, and in visiting the
, leading men of your industry here in
| the naidlands two things have impress
ed me particularly-the uniform cour-
| tesy with which l have been received
everywhere and the intelligence with
| which a survey of the industry has
been comprehended."
The rising storm subsidized. OF course
! Sir John was bound to be as courteous
and intelligent as the rest Of the trade
after that. and he wanted to hear
about this investigation. He listened
as the salesman quickly explained his
proposition. The word advertising was
| not spoken. Before the interview end
| ed, however, he had given his order
for a page, and with that everybody
else in the trade worth while was
brought into line.-Saturday Evening

THROUGH TO THE LAKES
At Last the st. Paul poad Planning
to Build to Lake Superior.

Since the Valley p. r. was built to
this city in 1874. it has been the
dream of our business men and peo-
pie in general, to have a through line
to lake Superior. Wausau has always
been on a branch line. now the dream
is in fair way to be realized. The
following was sent out from Superior
on the 1st of October:
"That the visit of officials of the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul rail-
rood to the city and vicinity on Sun
day means an extension to the head
of the lakes, is the belief of the local
railroad men, Notwithstanding the
statement made by the visitors that
their trip had no special import. The
road has long been running rights
over the Northern Pacific lines from
the Twin cities to the Twin ports.
In the party of officials was Presi-
dent A. j. Earring, Vice-President
w. X. Williams and Percy Rocketel-
Ter. They gave the harbor frontage
particularly close examination and
also looked over Typographical maps
of Superior, Duluth and vicinity.
Since building its line to the Pacific
coast the road, it is said, has felt the
lack of line to the Twin ports.
Grain, lumber and many other pro-
ducts and commodities pour into
Superior, while coal and merchandise
of all kinds coming up the lakes are
shipped west. A large percentage of
the territory served by the c., M. &
st. p. gets its coal and many other
supplies from the Twin ports, and
without a line here the road is at a
disadvantage"
About a year or more ago the st.
Paul r. r. commenced building sub
stantial "logging roads" north of US,
but this it seems has been only well
laid plans to straighten out and
shorten the route to Superior. In
order to make the road the short
est route to lake Superior it will be
to build the cut off to Ber-
lin, which is another dream Wausau
people have INDUCED in ever since
the road was built, and then to make
the road all the more popular, Wau-
sau should be made division for the
new through line

had been doing good business up to

LET THEN YELL.

Down in New Orleans there are a
few so-called reformers, who are try
ing to make the news boys sell their
papers without yelling; they want the
boys to go quietly about the streets
handing out their papers. Alex.
Weinfeld, formerly of this city, backs
up the newsboys in communication
as follows:
"a newsboy's yell is his stock in
trade, and to try and sell papers with
out the yell is like merchant trying
to sell goods without advertising.
Have the commentors ever stopped
to realize what small pay newsboys
get for their strenuous efforts, and
what a pitable state of affairs it
would be if they had to silently stand
in line awaiting customers? Behind
this shrill cry of the neWsboy there is
a silent one--of poverty and necessity
and could we be heartless enough to
want to silence them.
My message to the newsboy is to
yell, the louder you yell the quicker
you will be noticed. The bigger the
print the quicker the attraction. |
am successful businessman and /
owe first start to my lusty yell.
Now, boys, do not advocate rude
ness or being tough. One can be a
gentleman in every trade. / regret
that ambition should be quelled."
Those who lived in Wausau when
Alex was boy, when he conducted a
news stand, remember well how he
used to get his papers from the depot
and have them half sold before his
competitor could get on the street,
and it was by yelling Justify that he
made great success of his business.
Long life to him

immigrants.
But had given up reading papers
in my meteoric flight through Eng

old guards warning seemed more
bit of local color than anything else.
He told us of the troops which had

half an hours notice.

ton at Rouen was crowded with
French soldiers and their families.
Every man was the center of a little
crowd of women. The children pulled
at his coat or fingered his beautiful
red cap as he picked them up to kiss
them goodbye. We sat on our suit
cases in the corridor of the train, for
soldiers had first place.
At every bridge or crossing was
stationed a soldier But still it all
seemed a strange rumor, a sort of
play by which these excitable people,
these little French soldiers in their
blue and red, these young mothers
holding up their ittlest babies to be
kissed goodbye, were filing their
summer days,
The fair; sunny country of France

black poplars, the very symbol, slen-

laughed among themselves inside the
compartments, and we were nearing

Paris was hot, crowded, hectic,

Cutting Express Rates. - Have

Great Reduction in Rates?
You never saw a sign on an ex-
press wagon like that before Uncle

Before that time the express COM
panies played together beautifully
and soaked the public Systematically.
There was no real competition and
we might as well have had one
gigantic express monopoly.
Now, however, it's different. Uncle
Sam went into the business himself;
and you get not only low rates for

panies are getting down on earth, too
Uncle Sam did it.
