The police are authority for the statement that the stalling of the freight may not have been the work of strikers but of men in the employ of the company, the police believing that the move was brought about as a part of a plan to get state troops in the field and thus break the backbone of the strike by turning public sympathy away from the strikers.

Merrill, Wis.--Seven hundred per­ sons of Bloomville and Heinemann were hemmed in Thursday by forest fires at the former town with seem­ ingly no means of escape. The fires have destroyed the rail­ road tracks for some distance be­ tween Bloomville and Merrill, making it Impossible for the inhabitants of the doomed village to seek refuge in that direction. The situation at Bloomville Is crit­ ical. The 400 homeless of Heinemann fled to that village only to be con­ fronted by a similar peril. Gleason, north of Bloomville. is isolated by the fire, and it has been impossible to get word from the vil­ lage for many hours. This leaves Bloomville with its 550 persons qrit off on every side.

AIRSHIP HIT BY LIGHTNINQ Spectacular Exhibition Is Witnessed Near Barcelona as Flyer Ehrmsnn Miraculously Escapes. "Blood Stains" in Vicinity of Crime Are 8hown to Be Paint Splotches. Chicago. -- In the facs of a com­ plete crumbling away of the evi­ dence that Ira G. Rawn, late presi­ dent of the Monon railroad, was mur­ dered for revenge by a former chauf­ feur and the discovery that the "blood" spots leading from the vicin­ ity of the crime were splotches of paint, members of the family of the dead man were more firmly con­ vinced than ever that Mr. Rawn was the victim of a trapped burglar. Within an hour alter the release of Ernest Stevens, the negro chauffeur arrested Friday night, they announced an offer of a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons supposed to have broken into his home and to have fired the shot that resulted in his death. In the midst of these developments a new theory was offered as a possi­ ble solution of the mystery, that Mr. Rawn met bis death accidentally. It was pointed out by Charles L. Schaef- fer, superintendent of a local detec­ tive agency, that a plausible solution was on the theory of accident. Mr. Rawn might have slipped on the highly polished stairs or on his dressing gown, Mr. Schaeffer said, and discharged his revolver and killed himself in his haste to discover the source of the noise that had awakened him. Members of the family did not look with favor upon this new theory. Acting Chief Schuettler and Captain of Detectives Wood announced that they had abandoned their bunt for a "murderer." GOV.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlais, South Wales, about flf» teen years ago, families were strick­ en wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it lg the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep Is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail what­ ever. Then the families tried a drug­ gist wbo was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him-from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they w^re advised by a friend to use the Cutlcura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treat­ ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonder­ ful and the result was perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our, fam­ ilies have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years.

It was before the day of ready-made clothing, and want­ ing a new suit, he was obliged to take the material to the village tailoress.

The man's dislike of women in gen­ eral prevented his having a fitting. rie tvwk iue nuibueu guFiTieiii without trying it on. It was much too large, and his disgust was apparent in the answer he made to the frierdly loafer on his first visit to the postoffice, when he wore the despised article. "Got a new coat.
