RAILROADS APPEAL
LEXINGTON CONNECTION

The 500 Line and the Omaha are
fighting desperate legal battle to
avoid making a physical connection OF
the two lines at the Lexington juno
tion The railroad companies ap-
pealed from the order of the Railroad
Commission to make the connection to
the circuit court of Dane county where
they lost their contention. Since the
decision of this court was made con-
firming the order of the Railroad Com
mission, the railroad companies ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
state.

FISHERMEN
RESPOND TO
CALL OF DUTY
Baseball Sentiment Appeared
Lukewarm, But Committee
Is Appointed To Start
Action at Once

| After the luncheon at the Chamber
of Commerce Wednesday evening, the
large number of members present and
their guests were put in good humor
by number of good new stories told
by w. B. Effort, of Freeport, ILL.,, a
friend of F. M. Doyle, and guest of
the Chamber for the evening.
When the convulsions had subsided,
II. A Drake entertained the crowd
with moving pictures of Niagara Falls
and it's environs and the Grand Canon
of the Colorado. The pictures, show
ing two of the greatest wonders of
America, were the best and most COM
prehensive probably ever shown here of
these natural wonders.
The question of baseball team for
Ladysmith this season was again ta-
ken up at this meeting On taking a
rising vote on the question: more than
two-thirds of the crowd stood up, but
only two or three ventured to express
themselves. orally. The matter OF rails
ing funds to give team a start was
referred to a committee composed OF
Fred Crandell, Phil Griffin and N. Rit-
chey.
Plenty of Fishermen
More men were willing to talk about
fish fry for the streams of Rusll coul-
ty than about baseball, and it appeared
there were more enthusiastic anglers
present than there were baseball fans.
TA Nv Ii
cation, carload of fish fry may be
obtained from state and federal sources,
and arrangements were made for ap-
plying for the fish and spawn with
which to stock the streams and lakes
of the county 1t was no trouble to Sc
cure volunteers to agree to meet the
train, which is to bring the fry, ana
take the same to the streams for plant
ing From the remarks of several Old
timers it developed that it is an easy
matter to plant the spawn and the
fingerlings in these days, compared TO
former times when roads were poor,
and when the cans of fry had to be
lugged in to the streams through the
woods on bent backs. Indications were
that the streams will be kept stocked.

BRAKEMAN IN
R. R. ACCIDENT
Has Foot Crushed When Auto
mobile COllides With Train
at Dangerous
Crossing

Brakeman Ed Needham, young
married man of Weyerhaeuser, had
his left foot run over and so badly
crushed that amputation of the toes
and part of the foot was necessary,
and a Ford sedan, owned and driven
by S. Neumann, of this city, was
wrecked, when the latter collided with
the rear-end of switch train that
was backing across the West Second
st crossing at s 80 Monday evening.
Mr. Neumann and his wife escaped
without injury although the car was
demolished, being caught between the
moving cars and the cars on the adj
joining track
When Mr.. Neumann, driving south,
approached this crossing, which has
a bad record for accidents, west
bound extra was ON the main line"
and had been cut in two at the cross
ing. leaving plenty of room to get
through, but Obstructing view of the
track paralleling and on the south side
of the train.
Unable to Avoid Collision
Mr.. Neumann did not see the train
backing up until he emerged from be-
tween the two sections of the train
ON the main track. He saw Mr.. Need
ham swing his lantern and stopped his
car, but not quick enough to avoid
collision, although the front wheels
of the car were still north of the first
railj
Mr.. Needham, clinging to the grab
irons on the corner of the fiat-car
loaded with logs that collided with
the auto, swung his lantern wildly to
appraise the driver of the auto of his
peril, and thereby lost his opportun-
ity to escape, for the collision threw
him onto the track and the wheels
passed over one foot. Mr.. Needham
was rushed to st. Mary's hospital, and
It was at first feared that the entire
foot would need to be amputated.

FARMER LOSES
HORSES in FLOOD
Get Off Flooded Road Grade
Near East End Chippewa
River Bridge, Highway
No. Ia

A team of horses owned by Joseph
Lechner, farmer residing four miles
northeast of Bruce, was drowned in
the overflow of the Chippewa river,
between the bridge and the Galley
Lake road, Monday forenoon,
Mr.. Lechner and his wife were re-
turning to their home from Bruce The
river bottoms were flooded. The flood
water reached to the wagon-box. The
horses either got off the road grade or
by John Allstead, which was following
Lechner's, took Mrs. Lechner in and
proceeded to high ground. Mr.. Lech-
ner unhitched the horses from the
wagon and succeeded in getting them
up onto the grade, but one of the
horses became frightened at the swift
current and SHE'D toward the ditch,
forcing its mate into deep water.
Some young man nearby tried to
help and went for a boat but could
obtain none Before the horses went
into deep water Mr.. Lechner slid off
the back of the one he was riding and
saved himsely from the fate of the
horses. The water was breast high.
The wagon was left where it was The
team was valued at $500.
This is Mr.. Lechner's account of the
accident. He said, also, that the
Thornapple river was out of it's banks
and across the road at the crossing
north of the Mayou home. He had to
cross this also.

WONDERS OF NIAGARA
AND THE GRAND CANYON
GOOD PRINTING

Every newspaper man is am
bilious to turn out cleanly
printed paper, one which shall
be a good example of the typo
graphical art, with well-thought-
out makeup, and handsome
mechanical work. When a pa
per achieves that form of ex-
cellence, it does much to adver-
tise its home city.
A poorly-printed newspaper is
a discredit to it's home town.
People say it must be issued in
a bum community, and that
live place would develop busi-
ness enough SO that it's newSpa-
per would present a better ap-
pearance
In some cases a pOorly-print-
ed paper is the result of the pub
lisher's carelessness or stingi-
ness. But as a whole publish
ers are sensitive on this point.
They are ashamed of a slovenly-
looking sheet as they would be
in having their house in a tum-
ble-down condition. When a pa
per is poorly printed, it is COM
monty due to lack of business
support. When it is well print
ed, it is commonly a sign that the
place is a live one and that bus

the paper mill of the Great Western
Paper Co., in this city, collapsed and
fell into the river. allowing the north
part of the roof of that portion of the
mill housing paper machine No. 3 to

rushing through the dam undermined
the paper mill wall and caused it's col

so high it poured into the north door
of the grinder room of the old pulp
mill The big engine in the basement
of the paper mill was intact and ap-
parently undamaged yesterday.
Reaches High Stage
Water in the Flambeau reached a
threatening stage last Friday. The
gates in the dam were opened wide
and some of the machinery of the pulp
mill had to be shut down. The water
continued to rise and reached its high
est and record stage from natural
flood conditions on Tuesday and by
this time all the machinery had to he
closed down The water came up to
within few inches of the big mill
boilers. The street at the north end
of Brooklyn bridge was covered by

bridge itself, to which is fastened the
booms holding many logs, was con-

BIOLOGISTS. who, in simpler language, are the
Lbug-ologists, after microscopcaly observing the
habits and conduct OF for years, bring Us the In
terestng information that these busy little workers
in the humber world are by their own voluntary
action the most moral Of all living creatures
The ant they tell us. is intelligent that we are
justified in trying to describe its existence by kind
OF ailegorca comparison with human life.
Busy as are these minute little creatures, their
females are scrupulously clean. Several times each
day they better their appearance with combs and
brushes. The mothers are the only ones that are
allowed to eat all they want. All others. BY their
established law, must abstain from eating and
drinking.
Soldier ants protect both the young and those who
care for the young The mother ant is treated with
all the Difference OF an empress.
The limit their sleep to just that which Is
their need OF and they destroy the drone and all
those who would attempt TO over-indulge in leisure
or luxury.
They have architects and engineers. They build
houses and bridges to conform with definite plans.
They have their agriculture and horticulture and
have been observed to domestcatc many as 5S@
different kinds OF creatures.
Wonderful is the story of the ant. Some OF our
scientists who better biologists than socologists
quote the old Hebrew saying OF thousands Of years
ago go the thou sluggard. consider her way.
and sugges, that there is much in the ant the
might well try emulate.
