Alas, for human plans and anticipa-

Dayton, Nellie was called home sud-

benefactor dying She did not know
1t, then, but directly after the funeral
the family lawyer advised her that
worry and money loss had FASTENED
fhe death of the old man. Some stock
jobbers had induced him to borrow all
he could get on the homestead, and the
securities they sold him turned out
worthless, and Mr. Graham faced
ruin. There was little or no equity in
the property. Nellie was cast upon the
world with hardly sufficient to get TO
the city and sustain herself until she
found work.

MINERAL POINT TRIBUNE.
THURSDAY, MARCH 8. 1917.

THERE is only one constitutional way
to raise the salaries of the members Of
the state legislature and that is by the
vote of the people. The people have
decreed that the job should not pay
more than $4,000 and the Senate
voted against the house bill to allow
each member $500 extra for committed
work. Thus there exists a bone OF
contention between the Senate and
Assembly which has created lack OF
harmony. 1t is probable that the ses.
sion will drag out well in the summer
months.

The price of diamonds Of the better

said an unusual shortage has resulted

est plant for the manufacture of switch

recently engaged in filing munition or
ders for the European governments,
located NJ Swissyale, a surburb Of this
city, was destroyed by fire early Satur-
day night with loss estimated at 81
OO0, 900. The cause of the fire has not been
determined, although officials of the
company believe it resulted from spon-
taneous combustion.
The blaze started in the packing de-
partment Of the building. Only few
men were at work in the building at
the time. Famed by high wind,
the FIRE gained such Roadway that it
was necessary to call out part Of the
Pittsburg fire department. For more
than half an hour it was impossible to
throw any water on the fire because OF
frozen water plugs. Finally a line of
hose was run to the Swissvalc re-
sCrvoir.
The machine shop building covered
100000 square feet. II contained the
emergency hospital, packing room, cX-
pcrimental department and general
machine shops. More than 5000 shells
in the packing room awaiting shipment
probably were destroyed. According e
