back
The tunlult of the struggle had
luieted, the volatile forty-sixth regi-
ment returned to its allegiance, stood
formed in ranks, in appearance as firm
for the king as the everlasting hills,
and, at the end of the court was a
sad and silent. yet a stately group of
men, the Prince who had almost been
Emperor and those who had watched
slipping with his hope, their hopes Of
grandeur.
Suddenly a horses hoofs rang down
the lane from the Faubourg; a rider
clattered at gallop into the yard and
across the front of the soldiers. and
every one in the agitated company
saw that the man Keeling in his sad
die was wounded With blind gaze he
stared about as ne refined in, and
then he caught sight of the sorry
group. the Prince and his officers. To
Francois Beaupre, clutching to this
world by one thread of duty, this was
the victorious Emperor and his tn
umphant staff. With a choking shout
he threw himself from the horse and
fell. too far gone to stand, at the
Princes feet.

Louis Bonaparte looked down at the
man whose dying face stared up at
him in a capture of loyalty; whose life
had been consecrated to him; whose
death was for him; who had lost him
an empire. For a second a struggle

"Courage!" he said clearly. "Cour-

our country Live, my brother Fran

the Empire" And the Princes sword
flashed out and touched his shoulder.

lips stirred they knew that he wished

The ordinary kitchen table is too
low for tall people to work on. Take
four common doorstops, which screw
into the wainscoting to prevent doors
striking the walls, and screw one onto
the bottom of each table leg. This
raises the table about three inches
and makes it more convenient for the
tall person. The doorstops are neat

JAHNKE CREAMERY CLOSES
Financial Difficulties of WatertoWn
Plant Involves Local Branch

Owing to financial difficulties of
the main plant at Watertown, the
Jahnke Creamery Co. has been forced
to close their local creamery, for the
present at least. The local establish
ment has been doing a satisfactory
business and Manager A F. Jahnke
and another member of the firm, Mr.
Kleist, of Watertown, wished to take
over the Ladysmith plant and con-
tinue the business without Interrupt
ton, independently of the plant at
Watertown, but to this arrangement
some of the creditors at Watertown
would not consent.
1t is thought that all creditors will
be paid in full.
The company has enjoyed the most
pleasant relations with it's many pa
irons here and their closing is re-
grettcd by all.

MAN WHO PASSES WORTHLESS
CHECKS AT WEYERHAEUSER
is CAUGHT
NOW HELD FOR EXTRADITION
L. A. SickIes Makes Getaway After
Cashing Four Checks Drawn on
Weyerhaeuser Bank

District Attorney Kirwan has got
out extradition papers this week for
l.. A. Sickles, who is wanted for
passing worthless checks at Weyer-
haeuser on Dec. %, and who has been
apprehended by the authorities at In
dependence, Iowa, who are holding
him pending extradition.
Sickles came to Weyerhaeuser from
Rowley, Iowa, few months ago and
secured work in the vicinity as
farm hand. On Dec. 90, he succeed
ed in getting four checks, drawn on
the Weyerhaeuser State Bank,
cashed-one for SIS by Chas. Dale,
one for So by Paul Frenchick, and
he induced James Rider to cash two
checks, one for So and the other for
81. 1t is said he had never deposited
a cent in the Weyerhaeuser bank.
Sickles left for Minneapolis on the
limited the next morning
Thinking perhaps Sickles would re-
turn to Rowley, Cashier Oscar
Malmgren, of the Weyerhaeuser
bank, wired the authorities at Inde-
pendence, Iowa, county seat of Bu-
chanan county, in which Rowley is
located, but got no response.
Mr. Malmgren came here Saturday
and consulted the district attorney,
who had Mr.. Dale come down also,
on Monday, and a complaint was
then drawn up and Sheriff McNally
wired the sheriff at independence to
arrest Sickles if they could locate
him and hold him for extradition.
Tuesday, word was received here
that the man had been apprehended
and would be held as requested, un-
til Sheriff McNally calls for him
with the necessary papers to bring
him back to answer for his mis-
deeds.

APTURE BURGLAR.
CAUGHT RED-HANDED IN r. r.
LBR. CO.'S OFFICE SUNDAY
MORNING
USED ms. POLICY FOR A TORCH
Had First Broken Into Curtis Con-
fectionery Stcre.-Wanted at
Chetek for P. o. Robbery

Amund Nelson, of Chetek, was cap
tured in the Flambeau River Lum-
ber Co.'S building, corner Worden-av
and West SecOnd-st, at about 1:30
Sunday morning by Night Patrol
man RObt. Woodard, assisted by his
son, Cal, and Roy Lemere, who were
with him at the time. The three
were going along the street when
they saw a flicker of light in the
lumber cOmpanys office, which
proved to be a torch, that the crude
burglar improvised by using an in
surance policy of j. F. Mitchell's.
The various places where the culprit
might attempt to escape from the
building were watched and F. H.
Putnam, the bookkeeper, was sum
mOned. When he arrived a search
was made through the building and
the man was finally found hiding on
top of some piles of cement, and he
at first attempted to make believe
he had entered the building while
in an intoxicated condition and laid
down to sleep.
He had gained access to the
building by breaking the glass in
the door and crawling through. He
had not stolen anything there, but
a search of his pockets revealed a
number of articles that had evident
ly been stolen from some place and
it was discovered soon after that he
had first broken into Curtis con-
fectionery store.
He had entered this place by
smashing in a panel of the rear door
and then reaching through and un-
locking it. While he did not secure
a great deal here, he did do consid-
cradle damage. He trid hard to get
into the safe, knocking off the com
binatiOn with hammer, but was
unable to get the door open. While
his methods were very amateurish
he was not lacking in boldnses and
did his work with the lights all on.
He took what small coins had been
left in the cash drawer and a few
other things.
When searched, the following ar
ticles We're found on him: Postage
stamps to the amount Of 1857,
poket-book containing $612, 1892 in
small coins, letter opener, magnetic
horseshoe, pair pliers, the hammer
which he used to smash the door
panel and also to knock the cOmbin-
alton off the safe, a fountain pen,
and several other articles.
The postage stamps had been stol-
en- from the Chetek postoffice.
Nelson was brought before Justice
Manning Monday morning, but
waived examination and said he was
willing to go before Judge Wickham
and plead guilty. He will be taken
to Eau Claire for this purpose as
soon as the sheriff finds time to go.
Nelson is 20 years of age and will
be sentenced to a term of from / to
10 years at Green Bay.
The authorities at Chetek also
want Nelson for robbing the post
office and drug store three, both
of which crimes he admitted he was
guilty of. 1t will doubtless be quite
a few years before Nelson is
free man again.
His father lives at Chetek.
