LA CROSSE SCHOOL BURNS
Three Hundred and Fifty Children
Leave Building in Record Time
As Fire Gong Sounds

La Crosse.-Three hundred and fifty
children in the Logan school trooped
out Of the building in less than a
minute when the fire drill gong sound
ed, and found when they reached the
street that the attic and roof of the
school was in flames. Despite the
combined efforts OF five fire
companies of the city, the building
appeared to be doomed. The Logan
school is one Of the oldest in the city.
After all the scholars had left the
building some of the larger boys re-
turned and carried out wraps and
Overcoats. There were no injuries.
The schools discipline is being favor
ably commented on, the escape of $50
students being considered remarkable,
in view of the rapid spread of the
flames. The interior Of the building
was a wreck, and the loss will reach
$4,000. Smoke made the firemen's
work difficult.
The school is located in the north
part Of the city. AS all the city schools
are already crowded, it is probable
pupils will get an enforced vacation
until temporary quarters can be fitted
up. A defective chimney Is blamed
for the fire.

HOLSTElN BREEDERS ELECT
w. j. Gillette Chosen President of
Association at State Meet
Ing in Neenah.

Neenah. - The Holstein-Friesian
Breeders association, at it's state meet
ing here, elected the following officers:
President, w. J. Gillette, Rosendale;
vice-president, j. p Riordan, Mayville;
secretary, G. J. Schroeder, Racine:
treasurer, F. j. Bristol, Oakfield; di-
rector, r. J. Schaefer, Appleton.
The association declared itself in
favor of reimbursing all Holstein
breeders who exhibited at the Chicago
show and suffered the loss of their
animals through the hoof and mouth
disease. An adjustment Of the method
of assessing high grade stock, thereby
eliminating loss through slaughter
Of the herds, was suggested, a resolu-
ton being passed to that effect.
That the present type Of Holstein
cow represents the highest product Of
scientific development, was the key
note Of President Gillette's annual adj
dress. The Rev. John Faville and r.
j. Schafer of Appleton, spoke on the
HOlstein Of thirty years ago and the
development of heifers from a prac-
teal standpoint. Prof. G.. c. Humphrey
of Madison made plea for the breed
ing Of larger type of animal.

company, Milwaukee, gave to Insur"
ance Commissioner Ekern check
for $559,383.18 in payment for Ii
cense fees for the company for the
year. The payment was made under
duress, the insurance company
threatening to withhold the license
of the company unless the fees were
paid.
This procedure was the same as in
the last four years, during which the
company has pai0 the fees under pro-
test. Based on the report male by
the tax commission in 1911, the: COM
pany's taxes would be for the present
year about 100000.
At each session an attempt has been
made to have the state do the COM
pany justice in this matter, but the
legislature always turned a deaf ear
to the plea to put in operation the
scientific method urged by the tax
commission in it's re port, or another
plan proposed for a gradual redUc-
ton to a reasonable amount. These
attempts have always failed, as the
large expenditures voted by the legis-
lature led to their holding on to
every cent available.

cashier of the Theresa State bank,
Theresa, Wis, was arrested charged
with forgeries and entertainments
against the institution totalling 100000.
Stock speculations through the New

companies, international brokers.
A. E. Kuolt, state bank commission
er, gave out the following statement:
Mr.. Briemanns operations have been
watched for the last six months. One
Of the New York firms informed US
that he recently purchased 800 shares
Of United States Steel on which he
lost $3.50. He lost $4,000 on a Mil
waukee road stock venture. In this
way the money went fast. We re-
covered $4,000 of the banks money

THE man, who was trusted implicit
ly by everybody in Theresa, forged the
signatures of farmers to get funds.
Strange to say all the signatures were
nearly perfect.
Every cent of shortage has already
been made good and the bank will not
be affected in the least"
Mr.. Briemann, who is 40 years old,
was married last November to one Of
Theresa's most prominent young
women. On Dec. 5 Briemann was found
in the river near his home. He was
nearly dead from exposure. Commits
sioner Kuolt believes that the man at
tempted suicide at that time.

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED

Those who are interested in devel-

Western Canada In bringing to the
notice Of those whom they desire to

only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else or the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN
Farmer Discovers Steel Rail Across

With Lantern.

New Richmord.-An unsuccessful
attempt was made to wreck the
southbound Twilight, the fast train
on the Omaha between Minneapolis
and Superior, by placing a steel rail
across the track a mile and a halt
north Of Clayton, Wis.
A farmer walking home on the
track discovered the obstruction,
which he was unable to move, so he
secured a lantern and ran north to
flag the train. The train was six
minutes late out of Turtle Lake and
was heading down a long grade at a
high rate of speed, when the farmer
with the lantern was sighted.
The engineer managed to bring
the train to a halt a few rods from
the barrier.
