UNUSUAL CASE is
CLOSED BY DEATH

The death from influenza, at the To-
cal hospital New Years Day, of Alvin
Rider, aged 50, of Weyerhaeuser,
closed case with unusual elements of
tragedy. Two Of Mr. Riders daugh-
ters had recently died of the same dis
ease and very grave charges were
made against Mr.. Rider, alleging that
his cruelty to the children was partly
responsible for their death.
These charges eliminated in Mr..
Riders arrest, after he had been
brought to the hospital here about two
weeks before his death. Mr.. Rider
was taken from the hospital to the jail
and returned to the hospital when it
was seen that his condition was rap
idly growing worse again.
It is alleged that one son was so
severely kicked that several ribs were
broken.
Deceased leaves "a large family
The remains were taken TO Weyer-
haeuser yesterday and burial was
made there today

GEORGE PORTMAN
HOME FROM FRANCE

George portman arrived home Mon
day from France. He landed at Nor
folk, Va, on Christmas Day, after a
very tempestuous voyage across the At
lantic, during which his ship encoun-
tered a terrible storm and was driven
hundreds of miles out of its course
When the ship was finally able to get
its bearings again it was near the
West Indies and when it finally
reached Norfolk it had been twenty
five days at sea.
George was employed as chief cleo
trician and was stationed at Bor-
deaux, France, for several months.
When his enlistment expired, he made
a tour of that country before returning
to the states, visiting relatives at Paris
and at other cities in northern France.
He was in Paris the day the armistice
was signed.

WISCONSIN HAD
NEGRO SLAVES

An article in the December issue OF
the Wisconsin Magazine of History
calls attention to the fact that notwlth-
standing the Ordinance of 1887 negro
slaves were held in Wisconsin through
out the territorial period. The lead
mine region was largely settled by
southerners who came up the Mississ-
ippi from Kentucky, Missouri, and
other states. Commonly they brought
with them ideas favorable to slavery.
and on occasion they brought along
the slaves themselves. Thus George
w. Jones. a noted political leader both
in wisconsin and in Iowa held negroes
at his Grant county home case
which aroused much discussion in the
territory was that Of Methodist min=
lister named Mitchell, whose wife had
received as wedding present from her
father. a Virgiania Shareholder, two
slave girls. The holding of these
slaves seems not TO have aroused any
objection on the part of MitchelPs par
ishioners. but the New England ele-
ment in Wisconsin criticized him Bit
terly, and according to one local church
historian lie was finally expelled from
the conference,

TRAINS DISPUTE
RIGHT -OF-WAY
Two Trains Meet Last Night Be-
tween Beverly and Stone
Lake

All of the ingredients except sharp
curve or two were present for a seri-
Gus wreck of No. IS, the south-bound
500 limited, near Beverly last night
There are no night operators be-
tween Stone Lake and EXeland and af-
ter the operator at the former place
had reported No. IS out very nearly on
time he went home. Nothing more
was heard of the limited for over an
hour. The operator at EXeland called
the section foreman at Beverly OH the
phone, managed to get him and got the
startling information that No. Is not
only hadn't passed there, but that an
extra freight had pulled out of Bev-
erly north-bound some time before
No place between Beverly and Stone
Lake would afford the trains an opp0r
tunity Of passing each other.
About this time the dispatcher got
very much interested in the matter,
but another half hour elapsed before
the section man at Beverly reported
the freight back at Beverly with the
limited following and that they had
not come together"
The limited reached Ladysmith
shortly before II 100 o'clock.

tanned an article on the dam to be
built across the Flambeau about four
teen, miles up river from this city. and
in which the statement was made that
construction work may begin within
few weeks. There have been numer-
Gus reports current here that construc-
ton work on this dam, the proposed
erection of which has been frequently
mentioned in this paper, would be
commenced this spring, but confirma-
ton has been impossible to obtain.
The article mentioned is as follows:
ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. 2S.-The con-
struction Of a $2000,000 dam near La
dysmith by the Ashland Power COM
pany may begin within a few weeks.
The company, under the control of A.
E. Appieyard, obtained control of the
water power sites near Mellen, on the
Montreal river where it empties into
Lake Superior, on the boundary line
between Wisconsin and Michigan, of
the White river south of Ashland, and
Of the Flambeau river near Lady
smith.
Power plants and dams have been
built at all these places excepting on
the Flambeau river connected up and
now furnish power for Ashland, Iron
wood and Hurley, the munitions plant
at Barksdale, Washburn and other
places.
The proposed dam OH the Flambeau
will be about half mile long, and it
will take two years to construct it. 1t
will be located about fourteen miles
from Ladysmith.> 1t will be connected
with Ashland via Mellen, but power
could easily be conveyed to the twin
cities and to the twin ports. In spite
of the water power lines into Ashland,
steam power is still necessary to some
extent, especially when the period of
low water occurs during the winter,
but at the present price of coal, the
company is anxious to develop more
power.

The Allies Will Give Second
Entertainment of Course
Buy Season Tickets
NAVY GIRLS WILL ALSO
BE HERE NEXT WEEK
Entertained Soldiers at u. S. Army
CantOnments the Past
Season

When the Allies a company Of -four
talented girls appear here on the
Lyceum course next Monday evening,
Miss Helen WaggOner, one Of the com
pany, will wear a French uniform
which belonger to Lieut. Hall, an Am
erican who enlisted in the French
army on the second day of the war.
Six months later he joined the aviation
CORPS. He was five times mentioned in
general orders for unusual bravery,
and brought down nine enemy air
planes. On the uniform will be shown
the medals presented Lieut.. Hall by the
French, English, Russian and ROu-
manian governments.
This entertainment was the one
scheduled to appear as the first num-
ber of the current seasons course, but
on account of the flu epidemic it had
to be postponed until a later date.
The program given by the Allies is
thoroughly timely. In song and story
the girls illustrate how women are
helping i'll their share of the world S
work.
The Allies are four young American
girls of charm and vivacity. They
appear in costumes which are varied
and appropriate, and give an evenings
entertainment which is inspiring as
well as interesting.
The program develops complete
story. A program of readings has al
ways proven popular with Lycemu
audiences, and such q program as the
Allies bring here will be especially at
tractive.
Ladysmith people will surely want
to see and hear this fine company and
the highschOOl gymnasium should be
we'll filled on the night of their appear
ance here. next Monday, January 6.
Counting this number there are still
six numbers, all of the highest quail
ity. remaining of the current lyceum
course. Those who have not already
procured season tickets should do SO
now, and enjoy a splendid series of en-
tertainmcnts at the extremely moderate
price Of $3.50 for adults and 75 cents
for children. Single admission SO
and % cents.
The gymnasium was fairly well
filed for the first number, given Dec.
13, so it would be well to go in good sea-
son. The entertainment will start at
S 200 o'clock.
Season tickets may be purchased at
the door

ANOTHER SMALL FIRE

The fire department was called out
late this afternoon in response to an
alarm from L. M. Soule's residence on
the south side. A stove-pipe goes
through the second story Of the house
near bed and the bed-clothing became
ignited. Very little damage was done
In responding to the alarm, Harry
Miller, driving one of Ralph Davis
drays, lost off a box of dynamite,
which caromed around on the street
and finally broke open. Just then an
other dray ran over it, scattering the
explosive promiscuousay4 Had the
dynamite "let go" there would have

the soldiers the Redpath engaged them
for winter Lyceum tour.
This company comprises six clever,
dividually, present an evenings pro-
gram full of pleasing, artistic enter

The Navy Girls derive their name
from the fact that a considerable part
of their program consists of the pre-
Sentati0n in costume Of nautical novel
ties featured by rollicking songs of the
sea.
From the opening to the close of the
entertainment there is not single in
termisSion. The various parts of the
program follow each other in quick
logical succession. The whole effect
is lively. varied and entertaining
The Navy Girls entertainment opens
with the girls, in gypsy costume, seat
ed as if around campfire and singing
the gypsy chorus from Carmen. This
is followed by a duet. solos and pan
