DIETZ SAFE IN HAYWARD

Strong Guard Surrounds the Jail In Which He is Locked Up. A strong guard has been placed about the jail at Hayward, Wis.. where John F. Dietz, the outlaw of Cameron Dam is confined. Before he gave up Dietz killed Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp and shot the ear off Chet Colfetch. Dietz did not surrender until his cabin and every other building in his clearing had been riddled with bullets. For six hours and five minutes every volley fired by the attracking forces was replied to vigorously from the loopholed wall of the cabin and Mrs. Dietz says her hueband fired every shot directed at the deputies. When the officers had been convinced that the appearance of Helen Dietz In the clearing with a white flag was not a ruse, they went to the cabin and beheld a remarkable sight. Almost every inch of the floor was covered with flattered, twisted bits of lead that had been bullets until they tore through the cabin wal is, knocking off splinters from the inside and falling harmlessly to the floor. Dietz himself was so weak he could not stand. He had been shot in ’he hand but had kept on shooting ms repeating rifle and automatic pistols until the threatened collapse of his wi‘ brought him to a realization of tl fact that hi; was at best a losing fight.

PLOT IS CHARGED IN LAKE BUSINESS

Chicago Board of Trade Men Accuse Railroads.

Charging a conspiracy to deprive western grain shippers of the advantages of cheap water rates, officials of the Chicago board of trade filed a petition with the interstate commerce commission asking an investigation. The petition asserts that the railroads are trying to drive the grain transportation business from the lakes. The complaint is directed against the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the New York Central, sev-enty-four ether lines operating east of Chicago and other Lake Michigan and Lake Superior points. It is represented that “by reason of conspiracy on the part of the defendant carriers, substantially all meads of all-rail through transportation from Chicago to New York and other Atlantic seaboard points, and also all parallel and eoii.t-eting and through lines of transportation via the great lakes from Chicago and other lake points to Buffalo and from Buffalo to NewYork and other Atlantic seaboard points; are owned and controlled by the defendant carriers.”

Recently the freight charges on grain received at Buffalo from the lakes—called ex-lake- were increased from Buffalo to Atlantic seaboard points. It is alleged in the petition that these rates are unjus*: that they are discrim-

ihatory, because they are much higher than the all-rail proportion from Buffalo to eastern destinations, and that they deprive the grain shippers on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior of the benefits of cheap water transportation to eastern points. The Chicago board of trade charges that serious injury is being done it and the Chicago grain market generally by the advance

AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.

Tribute of Pastor Russell at Albert Hall to Late King Edward. [From the Leeds Yorkshire Post.! Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacled the great American preacher, who is now on a tour in this country, prefaced his remarks to a huge audience in the Albert hall last night with the following: “In Germany I learned of the death of your esteemed monarch, Edward VII. 1 realized that not your nation only, but all Christendom, had lost an unobtrusive but wise counselor, a power for peace and good will among men I take this opportunity to express to this great audience my sympathy-, which. I assure you, is shared by the great majority of my American countrymen. My first thought was that out of respect for the illustrious dead, his family and the nation this service should be postponed, but my second thought was to the contrary. Surely at no more fitting hour could we consider ’ 'the great hereafter.’ There is. thank God. a hereafter for kings as well as peasants. Royal mourners and a mourning nation need a message from God's word particularly now. and, since no more representative audience will probably assemble in this capital of the empire. I have a suggestion to offer, which I trust Will have your approval. It Is that before offering prayer we show our sympathy for the royal family in their bereavement by standing."

After about a minute, while silent prayer was offered. Pastor Russell offered prayer generally and requested the great audience to sing one verse of “Nearer. My God. to Thee.” The whole scene was very impressive.

YACHT FOR GOSPEL WORK.

June 4, •. 1910.] Pastor Russell, president of the Peoples Pulpit Association, was yesterday presented, for Christian mission work, the fully equipped and seaworthy Angel, a naphtha and sailing yacht. She is about 125 feet over all. has seating capacity in dining saloon for seventy persons and is prepared for main deck meetings in fair weather.

It is said the meetings on board the Angel will be advertised from day to day. stating her moorings as well as the language of the speaker. Thug all who desire may keep in touch with this witness of the “gospel of glad tidings to all nations.”

“Fortunately, my friends, this gift is not wholly a surprise to me,” said Pastor Russell in accepting it. “I had intimations and was in touch with some of you respecting the Angel. Nevertheless I am at a loss for fitting words wherewith to express my appreciation of your loving zeal in following a suggestion I dropped respecting the soul needs of the sailors of all nationalities visiting this great port “Let me, then, briefly say I accept your gift, not in my own name. but in the name of the Peoples Pulpit Association—as its trustee, if you please. May the Angel always and tn every language sound forth the praises of the God of all grace!

In Love. Are you in love? if not you will fall in love with the Fortune Hunter.

His Downfall. Broadway caused the downfall of the Fortune Hunter. He lived the life of the Great White Way until he was fired from pillar to post. He had just one good point left, and he clung to that, He did have some self respect. He could not have been such a bad fellow after all. He was not bad at heart. He was shiftless, careless, thoughtless. He had to be reformed, and he was. It’s a great story—the way he was reformed.,

Roosevelt the “Feminine.”

It has just* been discovered by Duffield Osborne.that Mr. Roosevelt “is a typical embodiment ot the feminine in man.” Mr. Osborne announces the discovery in the Forum qnd ingeniously upholds it. a woman’s horizon, we are told, is not less distant than a man's, but when she gazes at it she “holds up her hands like blinders and sees only the small segment that is straight ahead instead of allowing her eyes to sweep around the circumference.” It has been supposed that Mr. Roosevelt in the course of his seven years in the White House surveyed nearly all the known subjects surveyable by the human mind, but Mr. Osborne nevertheless finds that "his is pre-eminently a mind that sees one thing at a rime, or, in other words, works by intuition pure and simple.” Therefore is he a feminine type.

A Mirror Precaution.

Many persons do not know that sunshine is destructive to mirrors and produces that milky appearance which cannot be got rid of. When a mirror is being washed the water should not be allowed to get close to the edges, for often it will leak under, giving a mottled effect and ruining the glass. Hand mirrors should be placed where the sun will not strike them, and the cleaning pastes that they are polished with should not be too moist, for there are often tiny spaces that will admit a liquid, and after this hapi»ens the mirror’s usefulness will soon t ome to an end. . ; V .<• t

The ghost appears once a year in rhe formal robes of a Roman governor, and the person that sees it is doomed to die within the year.
