CHAPTER XII.
In Which the Last Round Takes Place.

It was during the next hour or two
that the full value Of Mr.. Jerome K.
Green as an acquisition to the party
became apparent. Certain other prep
arations in honor Of Peterson's arrival
were duly carried out, and then o
the question of the safe in which the
all-important ledger was kept.
"There 1t Is" said Drummond, point
ing to a heavy steel door flush with the
wall, on the opposite side Of the room
to the big one containing Lakington's
~ill-gotten treasure. And 1t doesn't
seem to- me that you're going to open

From his pocket he produced some
ordinary yellow soap, and the others
glanced at him curiously.
"Tn just give you a little demonstra-
tion," he continued, "of how our swell
cracksmen over the water open safes
when the owners have been so tactless
as to remove the keys"
Dexterously he proceeded to seal up
every crack in the safe door with the
soap, leaving a small gap at the top
unsealed. Then round that gap he
built what was to all intents and pur-
poses a soap dam.

PASTURES SHORT
HOT, DRY, WIND is
BURNING THE CROPS

That pastures are getting short, hay
is drying on the stock and some farm
ers are feeding silage, was the mes
sage of Louis Gums of the town of
Easton, who called in the city on
Tuesday. One peculiar thing about the
present dangerous conditions existing
in the country is the fact that in the
ground there seems to be plenty of
moisture and\Mr. Gums is of the opin-
ion thatit is simply thot scorching rays
OF the sun combined with an unequaled
hot wind that is causing all the dam
age. A neighbor of Mr. Gums, who is
now in Iowa, has written relatives
that it is so hot in Iowa that horses
have dropped in the field This could
easily be the case here if the ami
mails were worked too hard during the
oppressive heat of midday.

PROMISE AN

DAIRY TO RECEIVE BEST OF
ATTENTION ALL
WEEK

premiums amounting to $3,425.50
are being offered in Glass B, the dairy
department, for the fifty-third annual
Wisconsin Valley Fair and Exposition,
which will be held at Marathon park
on August 23, "a, 25 and 26. 1--WE
want particularly to emphasize our
desire to have dairymen bring their
best cattle to the fair this year." Sec
retary A. w. Prehn declares. "They
will find that many of their fellow
breeders throughout the county, who
heretofore have not exhibited, will be
there to make competition good ard
interesting"
Present Certificate
Every convenience for unloading
stock will be afforded, according to
officials, and particular pains will be
taken that every exhibitor presents a
certificate from the state veterinarian
in which the cattle they are exhibit
ing is registered according to owner,
name, age, registry number and stat
ing that such cattle are either from
accredited herds or that the same have
been tuberculin tested eighteen
months at the most previous.
Judges will be instructed to award
prizes for breeding cattle in the diff
ferent classes in the order which they,
as buyers for valuable considera-
ton, without any warranty of useful
ness, would make selection therefrom
for breeding purposes, due considera-
tion being given on the one hand to
the doubtful utility for breeding pur-
poses of over-fat animals, not consid-
ering color or pedigree The judges
are to be Geo. McKerrow and Walter
l.. Houser, both of them we'll known.
Junior farmers are going to have a
big interest in the livestock exhibit

MRS. H. G. McCROSSEN
HAS PASSED AWAY
HEMORRHAGE is CAUSE OF
IMMEDIATE DEATH
ON MONDAY

"A more sudden or more shocking
death to the people of this commune
ty than that of Mrs. Henry G. McCBos-
sen a little after eleven o'clock on
Monday morning at $40 Franklin
street, has not occurred in months.
Without any intimation of illness pre-
viously, she suffered a hemorrhage Of
the brain and before physician could
be summoned had passed to the world
beyond. Only her daughter, Mrs. Dom
aid r. Gooding, was in the apartment
at the time.
Emily Louise Thompson McCrossen
was born at Bemsauckee, Door coun-
ty, on March 6, 1862, and was there
fore fifty-two years of age at the time
of her death. After residence of
many years there, Mr.. and Mrs. Her.
bert J. Thompson, her parents, moved
to Little Black, Wisconsin. On jan
uary oath, 1891, the deceased was unit
ed in marriage with III. G. McCrossen,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James McCrossen
OF this city, the wedding taking place
at Stevens Point and Rev. McChesney
performing the ceremony. Mrs. Nc
Crossen has been making her home
with her daughter, Mrs. ID. r. Good
ing, the past year.
This unexpected death has caused
much Nsorrowing among a host of
friends who had been endeared to Mrs.
McCrossen by her sterling qualities.
The deceased was woman of unusual
ability, artistry, poise and personality.
Mrs. McCrossen is survived by her
husband II. G. McCrossen of Milwau-
kee, one daughter, Mrs. Donald X.
Gooding, her mother, Mrs. Eleanor
X Thompson, now quite seriously i'll,
and two brothers, Harry Thompson of
this city, and William Thompson of
Door county.
Several times in the past few
years Mrs. McCrossen has been heard
to express a desire for a private fun
eral and her wishes were complied
with when on Wednesday afternoon at
four services for immediate rel
atives and intimate friends were held
at the d. II. Gooding home, $40 Frank
lin street, by the Rev. VIM. j. Taylor,
pastor of the First Universalist
church Interment followed in Pine
Grove cemetery and the pail bearers
were as follows: Frank Kelly, Henry
Smith, DR. Russell Lyon, p. l.. Goer-
ling, Judge A. II. Reid and Harry Hell
nemann.
The deceased was member of the
First Universalist church of this city
and also Of the Ladies' Aid society in
which she was an active worker.
Harold Thompson, of Birnamwood,
nephew, and Miss Alice Thompson OF
Amigo, niece, attended the funeral
Wednesday. Mr.. and Mrs. Withee Of
La Crosse, the latter of whom was a
very intimate friend of Mrs. McCros-
sen, were also present

THIRD BOY SCOUT
ADVENTURE HIKE
TO MAYFLOWER

The third and last of the popular ad-
venture hikes started today when al
most a hundred Boy Scouts left head
quarters for the camp site on May
flower lake. Owing to the distance
the boys were taken in cars and
trucks, the luggage going by truck in
the morning. The program is to be
full of sport ard fun to make this last
hike the best Of all. A trip to the
Eagles nest will be one of the feat
ures, and the usual boating and swim
ming will be extended into atheltic and
aquatic meets. Fishing in Lake Nor
rie is planned and a baseball game
between teams selected at camp will
provide more strenuous amusement
when lower temperatures warrant it.
The Helke camp on the Eau Claire
river ia being built up into splendid
meeting place, regular troop meet
ings being held each evening of the
first three days of the week. A log
cabin and wharf are in process of con-
struction and accommodations are
rapidly being extended. The boys
leave scout headquarters at 4:S0 in
The afternoon and hike to the camp.
Those who are unable to get away at
that time are met at the Eau Claire
Villa by boat which comes over TO
meet the six, seven. eight and nine
o'clock cars. Visitors are cordially
welcome at any time.
Richard Lyman and James Frazer,
TWO Eagle scouts from Akron, Ohio,
are guests of the local headquarters
and are cooperating with Geo. G.
Driesbach, scout executive, in plans
for the summer camp. Both boys are
