ORDER NO MORE TIES TO
BE TAKEN AT REEDSBURG

An order was received at Reedsburg
yesterday to buy no more ties for the
present. This is the first time in
many years that Reedsburg has had
no market for ties. But they had
been coming in by the hundreds every
day, the yard was full and all available
space used in spite Of the fact that a
gang of men had been busy for weeks
loading and shipping the ties.
The railroad had been paying as
high as $115 apiece and many far
mers brought in big loads every day.
One Winfield man brought nearly
fifty in one load.

Life In the Open

A woman, who is we'll acquainted
with hard work and also knows how
to do it, is a woman who camped with
her husband and one of her sons,
near us, for a few days. These people
had quite an outfit besides the large
tent. The two men went forth every
day on the hunt for bee-trees, had
an eye out for game and sometimes
fished while Mrs. looked after the
meals and cared for whatsoever the
hunters brought home to the tent.
This woman, who made herself known
to us last fall, was the mother of ten
children and from her talk, the affec~
ton of the children was all conferred
On their father, large easy going
man; the mother was small and why.
At their home during the winter
months these people operated saw
mill Mrs attended to the engine. In
summer in time of blowing, she hand
led the pillow, also was the engineer OF
a motor boat and helped the son who
went with them on their fall trips, TO
put up and take down the tent, even
to driving the stakes for the same.
This woman enjoyed being out in the
open although at times she tired OF
hard work. She was a passionate lover
of music and flowers. With us, she
appeared kind and generous in her
way. May she get her reward.

Snow Blockade
Aids Striking Car
Men Albany and Troy

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 11--Strike break
'ers made futile efforts today to pilot
street cars along tracks buried be-
meath the heaviest snow of the year
in both Albany and Troy. Tonight,
with the snow storm increasing as it
approached "a hours of incessant fall
ing. both cities feared an entire alb
sence of any kind of transportation
tomorrow. Jitney buses in large num-
bers were abandoning the streets,
where they have f1ourished since 1900
employees of the United Traction Com
pany went on strike two weeks ago.
Unless the temperature should rise,
it was not expected that street cars
could make any Roadway for several
days. State troops kept strike SYM
pathizers calm in both cities, never
allowing crowds to congregate and
necessarily ordering loiterers near the
car barns to keep moving. Noisy ieers
were flung at the strike breakers when
the cars left the rails. A few snow
balls were thrown, but there was o
disorder
Thetransit company announced that
it had more than 300 strike breakers
in the barns here and almost as many
at Troy, but only few of them VEN
tured on the streets to break the
tightly packed snow along the tracks.

Star Witness in
N. Y. Auto Graft Cases
Slain by Unknown

New York, Feb. 1.-THE death OF
Frank Walsh, alleged leader of a
band of automobile and whisky
thieves neaw New Brunswick, N. j..
last night, removes one Of the most
valuable witnesses in the investiga-
ton into alleged municipal corrup-
ton, former Governor Whitman said
here today.
Il have caused an investigation to
be started into Walsh's DEATH" Mr..
Whitman declared here today. HE
was very important link in the au-
tomobile graft cases."
In the death of Walsh, on the eve
OF his testimony before the grand
jury concerning the graft in the re-
covery of stolen automobiles, many
persons profess to see parallel with
the death Of Herman Rosenthal the
gambler killed during the Becker in
vestigation conducted by Mr.. Whit
man some years ago. Rosenthal was
Killed the night before he was to have
appeared as witness before the
grand jury.
Walsh is reputed to have succeeded
Frederick Eckert, alleged leader of a
gang of whisky thieves, who was
Killed on Staten Island, August Fl.
1920. Former Governor Whitman
has instituted an inquiry into the
facts surrounding the death Of Eek
ert. Fear by his confederates that he
might give evidence in automobile
theft cases has been advanced as the
cause of Eckert's murder.

To Guard Against
Spread Typhus
Brought by Aliens

WASHINGTON, F'eD. 1l-PrecautlOnS
takn and steps contemplated are be-
lieved by federal health authorities to
be sufficient to prevent spread of
the European tyhpus epidemic to the
United States Secretary Tumulty to-
night informed DIR. r. S. Copeland,
New York City health commissioner.
Secretary Tumulty in a telegram
to DR.. Copeland quoted report on
the typhus situation from the secre-
tary of the treasury who declared
there was nothing to warrant the
step suggested by the New York
health Commissioner, in a telegram
yesterday to the White House-im-
position of ban on the admission
of immigrants from typhus infested
districts. DR.. Copeland's suggestion
resulted from the arrival at the port
of New York within the last few
days of more than 80 cases of typhus.
Surgeon General Cumming in a
statement issued during the day said
that even should the typhus get into
the United States, there is no rea-
son to fear that it's introduction
would be followed by epidemics on
tiiC ooAliC oSuiC 90 ia L0i OpCs
Eat the same time" the surgeon
general added, "it must be borne in
mind that there might be outbreaks
in the slum quarters of large cities.
The disease spreads only in unsani-
tary and filthy surroundings for, so
far as known, the disease is spread
only by lice"
The situation as presented by the
arrival Of the typhus cases, at New
York will be considered ia confer
ence tomorrow between DIR. Cumming
and Ewing Laporte, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, incharge Of pub
lie health. The report of Assistant
Surgeon General r. H. Creel, who
has been in New York investigating
the situation, will be considered at
the conference and it is expected that
further measures to safeguard the
United States will be discussed.
