CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The steamer
Iowa of the Goodrich Transit COM

miles off Chicago harbor today and
sunk.
The crew and passengers, number

RAT SPREADS
PANIC IN STORE

Panic was communicated to the sales
force of Virginia dry goods store
this morning when a good sized rat
which had escaped the vigilance of
the city's youthful rat hunters, made
its appearance and ran across the
floor. Shrieks of terror rent the air
and the sales force mounted chairs,
tables and every available height.
The rat, the innocent cause of the
incident, passed unnoticed into its bur-
row. Broomsticks, rat traps and
pokers are now being held in readi-
ness for the next intrusion of the
rodent.

THE BEST BULLY
BOY IN THE BIG
W00DSEBR0KE
No Place in the Tall Timber for
a Real "Lumberjack" Any
More Says John Ryan.

John Ryan, 65, who for halt CEN
tury, boy and man had FOLLOWED the
woods and the rivers" is broke-all in
down and out. Yesterday he went
from Virginia to the county poor farm,
direlict, a pitiful spectacle Of depend
ent old age. Yet there is good CLINT
in his old gray eye and he hopes that
when the times "pick up" and they
"pay livin' wages in the woods" he
will find a place in the logging camps
and retrieve his broken fortunes.
Forty years ago "Big John" Ryan
was the king Of the top leaders in the
pineries of upper Michigan. He was
skillful, active and he worked only for
the best "outfits." "Sag" (Saginaw)
was his springtime rendezvous. There
with the other bully boys of the big
woods in calked boots and mackinaws
he danced on the bar-room floors,
sometimes on the bar itself for he was
a real old-time lumberjack, fond of a
fight, afraid Of woman, and able to
hold his own in any kind Of a drink
ing bout, rout or rally.
Springtime freshets found him rid
ing logs on the rivers, breaking jams,
toiling through every hour Of day.
light with a song on his lips and the
joy of the big outdoors in his heart.
1t was always so until few years
ago. Then big John" Ryan began
to "slip." He didn't "stand the woods
so WE'LL" They sent him to the barns,
to help the cook, to become newer Of
wood and a drawer of water for men
who were "tame cats" in the knowl-
edge of logging beside himself. The
whiskey jacks as they fitted from tree
to tree over trail and travois seemed
to chide him and to twitter in derision
at the dissolution of "Big John" Ryan.
The wages wern't so good. A good
deal Of his money went for medicine.
He spent several weeks in the hos
pital, but there was always little left
to help a fellow woodsman in distress
and to purchase that stuff that cheers
but still inebriates.
This has been a hard winter, accord
ing to "Big John" Ryan. They won't
hire a real lumberjack in the woods
any more. He knows for he has just
concluded a trip of most Of the camps
in the north country. He has hun
dreds Of friends among the men who
work there. He is always welcome.
They see that he has something to eat
and a warm place to sleep, but when
he speaks about work they smile and
tell him that should be the least of
his troubles. But he doesn't want
charity. He wants work-and they
won't hire lumberjack.
Yesterday Ryan was picked up
sick, broke. There is no place TO,
him but the poor farm. Some Of his
old friends are already there. He
doesn't like the poor farm, but there's
nothing else to do until "the times
pick up"

SIX IN Tolls
FOR VIOLATING
LIQUOR LAWS
Sheriffs Return Today from the
Country Above Vermilion Dam
Where 1t Is Alleged Bootleg
gers and Blind Piggers Have
Been Plying Thrifty Trade.
Accused Arrested on Bench War;
rants Issued by Judge Hughes
Following Indictments Return
ed by the Grand Jury in Ses-
sion at Hibbing Court Term.

Deputy Sheriffs Arthur O'Dea,
Peter Wiring and Ed Lockhart and
Special Deputy Srefiffs Richard Rice
and James Meehan returned last night
from the country between Vermilion
Dam and Crane lake, where yesterday
they arrested Joseph Brokowski,
Joseph Mikus, Camille DeCaigny, Ben
Christensen, John King, Peter Ma
kowski and Axel Rergstrom, on bench
warrants issued by Judge Martin
Hughes, Monday, following indict-
ments returned against them by the
grand jury in session at the present
term of the district court.
The sextette were brought to Vir-
ginia on logging train last night
md were taken to Hibbing for ar
raignment this morning. They were
confined in the Hibbing jail.
Spoilers Got Evidence.
Evidence secured against the seven
is said to have been secured by special
operatives working under the direc-
lion of the county attorneys Office and
is the first step in campaign to rid
the north country Of bootleggers and
blind piggers who have been plying a
thrifty trade i nthat section for some
time.
It is alleged that the bootleggers
and piggers have been securing their
supplies at Tower and that at times
business has been so brisk that tote
teams were necessary to keep the
illicit dealers supplied.
Logging concerns whose employees
were debauched by the liquor have
entered vigorous protests against the
conditions alleged to exist and have
aided the authorities in locating those
believed to be engaged in the illicit
sale of intoxicants.
The fact that it was easy to get
liquor in the woods has made it diff
cult for some of the concerns to keep
men or to preserve discipline in their
camps and they are said to be de-
termined that the bootleggers and
piggers be driven from that section
permanently.
The grand jury made preliminary
report this morning, but was still in
session this afternoon. It's final re-
port is expected this evening. Most Of
the indictments reported today were
secret.

State Department Uncertain What
Capt. Won Papen Meant.

Washington, Sept. 23.--NState De

over the phrase "Bloedsinnig Yam

the German military attache, in writ
ing to his wife about Americans
whose views on the European war, he
said, he did not like.
While "idioticH is the interpreta

friends say he did not mean ii that

the word meant extremely foolish
or "imbecile" or empty headed"

Other Side of the Story.

The Bennington lad who was injur-
ed last week by receiving n gunshot
loaded with peas, is only another in
stance of the youths of America WHO
believe it wrong to steal but quite a
bright stunt to 'swipe" whatever
they may be able to and ''get away"
with it. There may be difference
in the word but the man who loses
his fruit or his hens cares very little
whether the loss comes from mis-
chievous boy with no wish to wrong
him and only desire to "swipe' or
from some person who really means
to steal-the result is the same in
each case. Perhaps if boys were
made to feel that it is wrong to help
themselves for fun TO fruit corn,
pumpkins and the like, there would
be fewer men living down at the state
prison. We are sorry for the boy,
but we do sympathiZe with the man
whose fruit he was purloining. The
free use of gun is deplorable, but
anyone will admit that it is not a
pleasant feeling to have someone
prowling about the premises at night
and certainly annoying to have fruit
or vegetables taken.-Northiield

The Burden Of War.

The announcement that England's
share in the war is costing $25,OOO,0OO
a day, coupled with the announce
ment Of the greatest war budget
known to history, is naturally follow
ed by proposal for direct taxation
that will affect every citizen of the
British Isles.
A tax of SO 1-3 per cent on certain
semi-luxuries, jump of 40 per cent
in the income tax and its extension to
incomes as low as S14 week, in
creased postal, telegraph and tele-
phone tolls and penny pound in
crease on sugar tell more wildly than
mere words how the cost of war is
