shores of the latter lake, one being
the Ontario, built at Sacketts Harbor.
n. Y, and the other the Frontenac,
which was launched at Ernest6wn,

Frontenac was Que of the finest steam
boats afIoat at that time. 1t cost ST5.-
600, and was Of 700-tons burden, its
length of deck being 10 feet. The
FrOnteEac was placed in operation JOG
years ago, making three round trips
each month from Kingston to York and
Niagara. Capt. James Mckenzie, who
had had experience in the British navy,
was placed in command. The From
tenac was in service on Lake Ontario
for ten years. and soon had several
rivals for the lake trade.

CASTE YIELDS AN INFLUENCE
santals Prefer Starvation Rather Than
to Eat Food Cooked by the
Brahmins.

Occupation is still preserved among
the Indian natives by inheritance and
tradition, so that the diversion of la
Dor TO industrial pursuits has been
an almost impossible task confronting
the British government, the National
Geographic Magazine observes. The
supply of agricultural labor constantly
outruhs the demand, thus keeping the
wage scale extremely low. Caste slso
prevents people from leaving crowded
districts and going to sparsely inhab-
tied regions, of which there are many.
In time of distress the restrictions
which caste throws about rescue and
relief work would be exasperating if
they were not so tragic. For example,
in the terrible 0rissa famine thousands
of Santals persisted, in the midst of
ample supplies furnished by the gov
eminent, before it was discovered that
there is peculiar tenet of their faith
which forbids them to touch food
cooked by Brehmlns. 1t was also dis
covered that skilled weavers would not
go to the ordinary relief work camps
for fear that the hard labor would
cause them to lose the delicacy of
touch which they value se.bighly.

AN UNACCOUNTED FOR FIRE

Fire broke out at 1898 Saturday
night in Rev. E. C. Grauer's garage
and for time had gained consider
able Roadway before discovery, com
municating to Fred Wiechmann's gar
age and Charles Helke's furniture
warehouse and workshop, both ad-
joining the former garage. Nos. and

heroic action were not long in sub
DUNG the fierce flames. The result.
however, was the badly damaged gar
age, woodshed and some contents of
the former, owned by the st. Paul's
church congregation and in use by
Rev. Grauer, the loss on which was
about 5000. Mr. Wiechmann counts
his loss at about $135, covered by
insurance; Mr.. Helke meeting with
the severest loss on building and fur
niture stock, attributable to destruc-
ton, smoke and water, roughly es-
timated at $4,000, which is fully coy
cred by insurance.

HAD TO FIGHT DUEL OR WED
Young Man Surprised to Receive chaI.
lenge, But More Surprised to Find
Foe Woman.

William Kenrick, a Berkshire gentle
man of hundred years ago, left his
property, which was considerable, to
an only daughter. This young lady
had a mind of her own and, finding
none of her suitors to her liking, SIM
ply determined to wait until the right
gentleman should come along.
1t so happened that one day she at
tended wedding at Reading, an ex-
change relates, where she met young
gentleman named Benjamin Child. He
was a poor attorn ~. With this hand
some young man the younger lady fell
violently in love, but still she was eau
tious. She reasoned with herself for
several days, trying to shake herself
free of the sudden passion, but all in
vain. Then, feeling that something
must be done, but unable, from confu-
sion of mind, to devise proper course,
she took the extraordinary step of
sending the young man letter de-
manding satisfaction for alleged in
Juries. She appointed time and place
for the hostile meeting. Mr.. Child was
much surprised, and quite at loss to
conceive who the challenger could be.
BY the advice of a friend, he decided
to go to the dueling place. Here he
was met by the young woman, who,
much to his surprise, told him he
would have to fight her or marry her.
He naturally chose the latter, and, as
the saying goes, they lived happily
ever afterward

Loyal Stand by Ashland Alliance

After voting to buy 5000 worth of
Liberty bonds, the local branch of the
German-American alliance at Ash
land addressed the county council of
defense a protestation of loyalty to
the United States, stating that the
motives of the society were being mis-
represented. The resolution declares
1--WE love peace and deplore the
horrors of war, but the acts of our
president and the congress of our
choice as a free people cannot and
must not be questioned.
When we consider our forefathers
were received in this country with
open arms; that this country gave
them liberty, justice and equal rights
with all others, whether native born
or naturalized and placed over them
the shield of protection, and to many
of whom it gave place, honor and dis
Misunderstanding nothing, and now.
when it is in distress, calling to us,
we are in all honor bound to stand by
the flag; rendering to Caesar the
things that are Caesars, therefore be
it further,
Resolved, That we, the Ashland
branch of the German-American alli-
an9e, do hereby tender to your honor
able body our good offices and a hearty
response and full cooperation to any
call for patriotic duty in common with
all loyal citizens of Ashland for the
security and welfare of our country.
Renewing our fidelity and pledging
loyalty to these United States of

Should Be Man Like Husting-Right
Back of the President

The question as to who will be chos-
on to fill the place of the late Paul
O. Husting will become more and
more pointed until the selection is fin
ally made. His successor should be
a level-headed, cool, conscientious
supporter of the administrations
fact, as near the type of man as
was Senator Husting To place La
Toilette follower in the position would
be a disgrace to the intelligence and
patriotism of our people.
Chairman LaBudde says:
"There must be and will be can
didate presented by the democratic
party upon leadership and judgment
of the party will unite and support
Personalities and all minor issues
must and will be laid aside to serve
the main issue, to-wit That of of
fering to the state a democrat of the
Husting type who is first and last
an American and who will represent
Wisconsin as she truly is-as loyal
commonwealth as there is in the
union"
National Committeeman Joseph Mar
tin. when interviewed, said: "The
issue has been made. A democrat
made it and sustained the good name
JSe.+c. in n
sin should find expression of their
patriotism in the support of candl-
date whom the democratic party will
present. Our party has the capacity
to forget individuals and minor issues
in this situation and will present g
candidate upon whom every loyal cit
izen of the state can unite to con
tinue the work and fill the unexpire(
term of the democrat who saved the
good name of the state-the late, grea
Democrat, Senator Paul o. Husting
Within the shadow of his death ant
in the memory of his great service
all democratic leaders will forge
every consideration but one-to Civ
to the president of the United State
the assurance of united support TO
one man for the senate from Wiscon
sin who will give his undivided sup
port to the administration in this grea
crisis. This is no time for mino
considerations. The big issue is t.
place Wisconsin in the loyalist col
umn. The democratic party furnishe,
Husting, who saved the good name o
the state, and it will again presen
with a united front a man who will
continue that work so nobly begun.

in those communities in which each
was best fitted to speak and effect
desired results.
On chairman Chellis of the agricul-
tural committee, whose duty it was
to look after the rural sections of the
county, was by the very nature of
things, by the vast territory to be
covered a job that no man could sin
gle-handed, have carried out satisfac-
torily in the short time at his dis
posal, had it not been for the active
assistance of the many farmers and
town officers who promptly came to
the front as volunteers, and who in
turn were efficiently aided by the pro-
fessional men, and others, who aided
in the canvass of the scattered coun-
try districts.
The banks of the county. those of
the city as well as the villages all did
yoeman service. The village banks
were the rallying places throughout
the county and study of the annexed
table will show the splendid character
of the service they performed.
All classes OF people, rich and poor
manufacturer and laborer, farmer and
merchant, professional man and com
mercial traveller, mechanic and solicit
or, all had their part in this great
achievement. 1t was a victory fol
all, large enough for all, and tellinq
OF sturdy patriotism which runs like
an unbridled torrent through this par
