STEAMER ST. JOHNS.

That interest in good thing is
never on the wane is proven by the
large crowds who continue to patron
lie the steamer st. Johns, and Co
lonial Beach. The big steamer passes
many points of historical interest,
such as Mount Vernon. Forts Hunt
and Washington, Alexandria, etc.
The tang OF the salDWater is in the
air before the stean reaches the
Beach and gives evidence of the real
salt water bathing to be found there.
Many other amusements prove a mag
net for old and young, among the most
popular being fishing, grabbing. boat
ing and dancing.
The st. Johns makes the trip four
times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday

Secretary Of State Hughes has
cleared up the technical point which
caused Ellis Loring Dressed. Ameri-
can commissioner at Berlin to with
hold his signature from the treaty of
peace with Germany yesterday.
Point Was Minor.
The point raised by Dressed was
OF minor importance and the Secre-
tary OF State early today dispatched
a reply to Dressel's query. which is
expected to close the matter. and II
is probable that the treaty will be
signed in Berlin today.
The State Department today re-
ceived confirmation OF the signing Of
a treaty OF peace between Austria
and the United States in Vienna yes
terday. This treaty Is understood to
be almost Identical with that ne
gotiated with Germany.
II the treaty Is signed in Berlin
today, II is expected that IL will be
published here Immediately upon re-
ceipt of word that II has been finally
concluded.
The way has been paved for early
ratification OF the treaty by the SEN
ate, Administration officials believe.
iNNpepANoii Va Nhc SthoNt
Foreign Relations Committee put
their stamp of approval upon the
pact yesterday, and Secretary OF
State Hughes explained the document
to both Republican and Democratic
members yesterday afternoon.
Treaty Goes to Senate,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
ranking Democratic member of the
Foreign Relations Committee. stated
today that he can see no reason
why the treaty should not be rati-
fled" The Senator, however, pointed
out that he had not had an oppor-
tunity to study the minute details OF
the pact. but that his preliminary
examination had made him OF the
opinion that the treaty was accept.
able to the minority.
Inasmuch as the treaty provides
that the United States shall not &C.
cept any of the responsibilities of
the Versailles treaty 1t is not be.
lieved that It will be Objectionable
to the so-called "irreconcilables' Of
the Senate who lead in the fight
against the Versailles pact.
The treaty will probably be sub
mitted TO the Senate on September

Horse Delays Night Train.

The Chicago and Northwestern
passenger train No II2, Ashland
to Chicago, was held up at Odanah
for one hour and a half Tuesday
evening on account of a horse on
the bridge that crosses Bad River.
The horse was feeding on the
right of way between Ashland and
Odauah. when the train came
along. The bright head light must
have frightened him for he ran
down the track ahead of the tram.
When he came to the bridge he
tried to cross it when his two
hind legs fell in between the ties
and the train was stopped The
horse, being wild, tried in vain to
get out but it was impossible.
They put ropes on him but it was
difficult job as the legs seemed to
stick. Finally the horse died and
then the legs were cut off and he
was taken away and the three
trains that were held up went on .

toxicating beverage as defined in
the Severson prohibition law, may
be tested out in the circuit court
of Fond du Lac county, where
James Murray, district attorney,
has been requested to start an
action by village board.
To sell Misunderstanding liquors,
those containing alcohol in a per
ceptible degree less than one half
OF 1 per cent, license is required
under the Severson law. Mr.. Muir
ray has asked Attorney General
Morgan to give his opinion on pop
and soda water.
IF as matter Of fact the drinks
do contain alcohol in a perceptible
degree, the man should he pro
secuted if he has sold them to be
drunk on the premises, the reply
said.
