Jack" Pershng, the hero and terror tc
foe, but Sunday and Monday nights this
section was visited by another species
of Black Jack, whose last name is
Frost. He. too, proved terror. Corn,
potatoes, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers,
and in fact, practically all vine crops
not fully matured have suffered great

state, in northern Michigan and Min

be erioyously disappointed,
Who is so dull as not to predict Alright
what the Kaiser will claim, should he

ANOTHER GREAT MOUNTAIN
RANGE CONQUERED BY
ELECTRICITY

The mighty Rockies, the Belts and
the Bitter Roots have bowed their lofty
heads before the onward progress of
men. The limitless energy of their
tumblng cataracts have been harnessed
to furnish power for the giant electric
locomotives that haul the trains Of the
Milwaukee Road across their rugged
slopes.
And now another great mountain
range = the snow-capped Cascades in
Washington has felt the hand OF the
conqueror, The work of electrifying
the 2ll miles of line through this range
is well under way. When completed
! the Milwaukee" will have GU miles Of
its main transcontinental bile under
electrical operation.
Mountain travel is given ANEW charm
no smudge of smoke paints its black
line across snow-clad vistas travel is
clean, smooth, silent.

To Keep Warm viii Prove Expensive.

A letter is at hand from the state
council Of defense in which our people
are asked to burn more wood and iees
coal the coming winter. This sounds
sensible for some few sections no doubt,
but we cannot see where the carrying
out of the suggestion would be of any
advantage to the people of this section.
The first thing necessary would be the
buying Of wood stoves, which are not
cheap. and hard wood ready for the
stove will cost around $500 per cord.
Where Is the advantage Surely We
are up against an expensive proposition
to keep comfortably warm this winter.

FAIL TO STOP ELoPERs.
Message to Stop Wedding Comes After
the Happy Couple Had Left for
Honeymoon,

Walter Bruneska of Sturgeon Bay
and Miss Ruth Isabelle Burr of Fish
Creek, Wis, were married by Judge
Randall in the Municipal court late
Saturday afternoon. That they had
eloped from Sturgeon Bay was made
very plain within few minutes after
the marriage had taken place. County
Clerk Russell III. Jones received a tele-
phone message from Attorney William
Wagner at Sturgeon Bay ordering him
to stop the marriage ON account of the
fact that the groom was but nineteen
years old They are already married, -
the county clerk informed the attorney.
It'll make their parents mighty hot, !"
was the answer and then all communica-
tion between Sturgeon Bay and Kenosha
was cut off.
" 1t may be that the young fellow was
only nineteen,' unused County Clerk
Jones, Fbut when he was here and made
the application he swore by all that
was true and holy that he was twenty
one" Judge Randall declared that he
had taken the precaution of swearing
both the bride and groom and they de-
clared that there was no legal impedi-
ment to the marriage. They are spend
ing their honeymoon in Chicago and
waiting for the rather excited papas
and mammas to start something.

He came in leading rather bedraggled
sort of fellow who had just been
"'pinehed" on charges of intoxication.
The bedraggled one did not seem to
know what it was all about but as an
allayer of superstition he was the regu-
lar Johnny on the Spot and he en-
tered plea of guilty and the danger of
the police getting a bad start in the
year with thirteen was past.
