1t is refreshing TO have public

he says that in calling attention to
naval deficiencies he has no desire to
criticize Josephus Daniels but must
maintain. nevertheless, that the secrs

decreased efficiency OF the navy"

All over the country the forces OF

of the United States with Germany
the country was assured of the return

the semblance of prospect for the re-

divider is abroad and he has a high.

kind of work. With the United States
free from the war, as 1t doubtless will
be, and with great praises to the pres

be fought out will be domestic, with.

Nevertheless, this Bryan factor is
strong one in the general situation.

nothing by seeking to effect passage

titude toward each other was so
friendly and innocent. they both
laughed. They had dined under the
trees of an old manor house, built a
century ago, and now converted into
an inn. and they had enjoyed them
selves because 1t seemed to them

knew that the reputation of this estab.

The repairs did not go as smoothly
as the chauffeur had expected, and,
when he had finished. he was hungry.
So, eleven O'Clock found them still

gloved hand, and its grasp was firm
and strong despite its ridiculous
smallness.

the girl. She threw off her fur coat.
and took seat before the open crate.
The chair was large. and swallowed
her up.
Samson wanted to look at her, and
was afraid that this would be impolite.
He realized that he had seen no
real ladies. except on the street. and
now he had the opportunity.
I'm glad of this chance to meet
you. Mr.. South said the girl with a

Samson's face lighted with the rev.

bring only to features customarily
solemn.

WAR VETERAN PASSES AWAY
James A. Rape of Marinette Walked
| Many Miles to Attend G. A. r.
Encampments.

Marinette.-James A. Rape, who
died here aged SO years, was not
able character. Besides having served
in an Indian war, the Mexican war
and three years in the civil war,
making good records in all of them,
he was mechanic who continued
to work at his calling until after he
was 95 years of age. He was an
active member of the Grand army,
attending all of the reunions of his
regiment, the Thirtysecond Wiscon-
sin, up to and including the one held
last fall. For many years he never
missed state or national encamp-
ment.
Mr.. Rape was an inveterate walk
er. He thought nothing of walking
from Marinette to visit friends at
his old home in Fond du Lac, a dis
lance of nearly 100 miles, and on
several occasions rode his bicycle
from his Marinette home to national
encampments, making the trips to
one held at Boston and another at
Washington, and still another at
Philadelphia.

GET SHARE OF EXHIBIT COST
Congressman Cooper's Bill Reimburs
ing Breeders for Results of Federal
Quarantine Is Passed.

Waukesha.-Wa R. Frame re"
ceived word from Congressman
H. A. Cooper of this district saying
the bill introduced by him asking
for the reimbursement of owners OF
cattle exhibited at the National
Dairy show, Chicago, in November
and since then detained in that place
because of the quarantine established
by the United States government
had been passed.
Although the bill asked for a
100000 appropriation which would
cover all the expenses of the exhlD-
itors, including that lost because OF
no income from the herds, the mes
sage said that onehalf OF the eX-
penses would be provided. The bare
expenses of the breeders is estlmateu
at $25O,O00, and whether one-nah
Of that amount, or one-half OF the
amount asked for, has been appro-
priated, has not been made clear.
Press reports merely say that one
half of the expenses was proVldeu
for.
DR.. M. w. Downing, one of the ex-
hibitors, said there were between
seventy-fve and one hundred cattie
from Waukesha county at the sno"'
and that the expense of keeping inc
cattle since the quarantine had run
up to 5000 a head.

PLAN NEW ELECTRIC LINZ
Farmers Hold Meeting and URGE Cor
struction of Road Between
Sheboygan and Manitowoc.

Sheboygan.-Active steps toward
construction of an electric interurl
ban line from Sheboygan to Mani
towoc, and ultimately to Green Bayl
were taken at mass meeting Of
farmers, cheese factory men and citi-
zens of Cleveland, Mosel, Haven. Hi
ka, Centerville, Newton and North
elm. A committee was appointed to
wait upon officials of the Sheboygan
Railway and Electric company and
request that representatives of the
company attend another meeting on
March 16.
Charles Schwartz, George Herzog
and Gustav Berger, have made a
careful canvass of the situation and
their report showed the need of bet
ter transportation facilities along
the lake shore, between ManitowoC
and Sheboygan. They spoke of the
many advantages and conveniences
an electric line would bring to every
one in the vicinity, and exressed the
belief that such line would soon be
a paying investment.
The project of constructing an in
terurban line between Sheboygan
and Manitowoc has been agitated sew
eral years.

PREMATURE EXPLOSION IN ROCK
FIELD QUARRY THROWS VII
LACE INTO PANIC.
COMPANY HEAD is INJURED
Robert Kraemer, President Of Con-
Germ, Seriously Hurt-Housss in
Vicinity Were Rocked and
Many Windows Broken.

Milwaukee.-One man was blown
a distance of thirty feet and instant
ly killed and two others probably IA
tally injured by a premature explo-
sion of dynamite in the quarry op-
Grated by the Mace Lime company at
Rockfield, Wis.
The dead: Michael Janich, 29
years old, laborer, living in Rock
field.
The injured: Robert Kraemer, %
years old, president of the company;
right arm fractured, internal injuries
and face badly cut; may die. Nick
Dodroga, % years old, a laborer;
probable internal injuries and face
badly cut; condition serious.
Houses in the vicinity of the quar-
ry were rocked by the explosion and
many windows broken. Women and
children living in the foreign settle
ment were in panic.
A gang of about fifteen laborers
working about the quarry were
thrown from their feet but escaped
injury. It was at first believed the
death list would reach large proper
lions, and all in the village dropped
their work and rushed to the scene.
The mangled body of Janich was
found lying distance of about thirty
feet from where the explosion occur
red. Kraemer and Dodroga were
rendered unconscious and their
bodies were found several feet from
the explosion.
What caused the explosion is a
mystery. Janich and the two injured
men were setting a charge Of dyna-
mite, preparatory to blasting rock for
one of the kilns. It is believed that
piece of steel or probably a nail be-
came wedged in with the stick of
dynamite and caused premature ex-
plosion.
Janich was showing the charge into
place and received the full force of
the resulting explosion. The other
two men were standing beside him.
Janich had been in the employ of
the company for the last seven years
and since that time has had charge
of placing all dynamite charges.
Rockfeld is a small village twelve
miles southeast of West Bend.
