FUR BUSINESS A BOON
TO RICHLAND TRAPPERS

The fur business in Richland coun-
ty is one OF some Importance, so we
are told by a local dealer. On Satur-
day he had bought furs to date to a
value of oyer $4,000, and another To-
cal dealer reports much larger bust
ness. Many furs from the county are
sold in other towns, and some are
shipped direct to buyers. An estimate
of $4,000 as the value of furs from
the county this winter was are told is
conservative.
Guy G. Luckey will turn over to the
city treasurer this week the completed
assessment roll for the city After a
few days Of indeXing, the city treas
urer will be ready to collect taxes.
The roll goes slightly over $4,000
this year for state, county, city and
school taxes, and there are several
pieces of property where special taxeA
are charged which brings the total to
be collected in the city much above
this figure. The tax rate is about $50
on each 1000 of assessed valuation.
The fire department was called 10
the home of Hiram Ferguson at about
s a. m Saturday morning. AS Mr..
Ferguson was putting a quantity OF
green maple wood into the furnace it
exploded, teIring the top from the fur
mace am, blowing out the registers in
each room aad filling the house with
smoke and SCOT. Fear of fire and
fright prompted the alarm, but no fire
followed the explosion. The house is
badly marked from the dirt and SCOT,
and the furnace was ruined by the eX-
plosion. Mr. Ferguson lives in the
Henry Baer house on South Church
street.-Democrat
RICHLAND CENTER.-By the gen
crosby of Levi Eckhart, formerly a
resident of this county, now at VirO-
qua, the famous Sylvan Rocks, lOcat-
ed on a part of Mr.. Eckhart's farm,
have become public park under the
control of Richland county. This
beautiful bit of scenery comprising
several acres of canyon formation is
within a few rods of state trunk high
way No II, but being hidden from the
regular travelled road is passed by
thousands of tourists who never real
ize that they are il such close prOX-
unity to one of Wisconsin's beauty
spots Richland county has appro-
priated $500 to be used in fitting the
park up with attractive signs and
conveniences for picnickers and tour
lists.
Jacob Eskin, who is rated among
the chief fur buyers of this section Of
the state, has been making some rec
ords in that line of business during
the past few weeks. One day last
week he made single shipment
which totaled within a few dollars of
$4,000 And another interesting fact
concerning which information was
gottc from him is that he recently
purchased As fine fox pelts from one
party, worth $3.50, every one of which
were gotten within the boundaries Of
Richland county.

Hughes Proposal Historic.
In December of the year of 1892
our Secretary of State, Mr.. Hughes,
set out the American proposal in
an address which he delivered at
New Haven. That proposal has
now become historic He recog-
nized that settlement of the repara-
tions question was probably i'm
possible if approached after the
method of a political problem. 1t
was not so much a question to be
dealt with by public officers or dip
lomatic agencies, which must
necessarily reflect to a very mark
ed degree the political state of
mind of the various countries, but
was represented as one which

perienced private enterprise. To
such an effort of business men, un-
hampered by every unnecessary
political consideration. Mr.. Hughes
expressed the belief that competent
American citizens in private life
would be ready to lend their as
sistently maintained Its correct
ness was finally demonstrated
when Mr.. Dawes, Mr.. Young and
Mr.. Robinson were invited by the
reparation commission for that
purpose, and consented to serve.

is known as the Dawes report, has
recently been made and published.

S. DEAD; SCORES
INJURED IN STORM
Reports Show Every Section of
Wisconsin Lashed by Terrific
Wind and Rain.

Eau Claire, Wis.-Neighbors in Wis
consin opened their hearts and their
homes again, to comfort broken fam
lilies, to shelter orphaned children, and
to begin once more the task of rebuild
ing farms and homes laid fiat by the
storm which took toll now estimated
at 55. Added to the five dead in Min
nesota and the three killed in Michi-
gan, the Wisconsin toll brings the to-
tai to SO deaths. Twenty-Five children
persisted
AS relief was rushed into areas de-
vastated, reports came back which
added slowly to the total of As in Wis
consin.
The most severe damage to prop
erty and loss of life was in the Thorp-
Owen region of Wisconsin. In an
area seven miles southwest of Thorp,
extending Is miles toward Owen, vir-
tually everything was swept clean in
path 800 to 400 yards wide. More
than so farms lost buildings and stock.
Crops Are Badly Damaged.
A resume of reports received indi-
Gated that violent wind and rain
storms prevailed generally over Wis
consin, Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota, and extended south into
Iowa. Crops throughout this area
were damaged severely. The heavy
rain will in many instances save corn
crops from fosts, however, experts
said.
