To be sent to a point 1.000 miles from his

of age, who the other day was found wan

lad was taken In by kind-hearted residents
of Woonsoeket who . endeavored to learn
something of hlmr but owing to the fact
that he was unable to talk Kngllsh but
little could be learned from him. As near
as could bo gathered he had only recently
arrived In the United States from Europe
and through some mistake had been sent
on to South Dakota Instead of to Woon

has relatives who he came to the United
States to Join. The unfortunate boy had
but .".o cents III Ills pockets when found
wandering about the streets, so a collection
was taken up for him and arrangements
made to have him forwarded lo Rhode

Kawtown Tries to Fool
qn Its Butter Quotations
Shame on Kansas City. The Omaha bit
ter men say that the naughty Kawtown
dealers are trying to delude the poor but
opulent farmer Into celling his dairy
product to them at a low price by sending
out incorrect quotations.
Kansas City, lor Instance, remarks in
public quotations that the price to retailers
Is M cents a pound. Now, this is very
wrong. Indeed, so say the Omaha dealers.
For on private advlcea they learn that the
real price is A rents for creamery butter,
Incidentally the same as the Omaha quo
tation for butter In pound prints and car
tons delivered lo the retailers.
"Just a bear movement, we don't pay any
attention to the Kansas City market." said
an Omaha butter man. "If we aell them
any butler ll ii at Elgin rates, that's all."

A. L. Moliler, vice president and general
manager of the Union Pacific, that the
road is to soon issue a call for bids to build
a new car shop and planing mill plant,

Referring to the proposed extension to the
f i eight houne. which has been discussed
for some time, Mr. Mohler said, "We are
going to let the public build that for us.
They can build It without expending a
cent, but It would cost us more money
than we can afford to lay out at this time.
We will be busy for a year or two erecting
our new office building and the new car
shops and planing plant, which will neces
sitate an outlay of about 12,000,000. We are
soon to call for bids for the new car build
ing and planing mill, which will cost ap
proximately S4O0.O00, with the machinery in
stalled."

ST. PAUL, May 11. Owing to the unusual
drouth in Minnesota, the forests In the
north and eastern part of the state, In
northern Wisconsin and Michigan, have
been burning for several days and great
damage has been done. So far, however, no

No rain haa fallen in Minnesota this

moisture has fallen to thoroughly wet the
ground.
Everything Is dry as tinder, especially
In the woods, and fires started by settlers
In clearing their lands and by sparks from
locomotives spread rapidly into growing
fires.
For the last two days a strong wind has
been blowing over some of the northern
counties and this helped the apread of the
flames.
Reports from Calumet, Mich., state that
the fires about Aliston, Painesdale, South
Range and Baltic are less serious today.
From Cass Lake, Minn., the reports are
more assuring today.
Indications today are that the fire has
been chocked, unless the wind comes up to
cause the flic to jump across the barrier.
The same section of Minnesota was swept
by fire two years ago. At that time Chls
holm, a town of 2,500, was wiped out, and
the residents of Grand Marals were taken
from tho town In boats.

STEP TOWARD FURTHER REVISION
Insurgents Are Backing: President In
Demand for Appropriation Needed
to Secure Accurate Infor
mation. WASHINGTON. May ll.-Presldent Taft
Is facing a new party complication. In
his effort to obtain an approurlation of
1250.000 to enable the new tariff board to
ascertain the difference In the cost of pro
duction here and abroad and thus lay the
foundation for another tariff revlnion based
on accurate and Kclentific Information, It
Is said today that the president would have
the opposition of Representatives Payne,
Dalzell, Fordney and other high protec
tionists of the house.
The Insurgents are bucking tho presi
dent up In his demand for the appropri
ation, and republicans generally are look
ing to the appropriation and the promise
of another revision which It carries as one
of the brightest elements of hope In the
coming campaign.
The insurgents are wondering today If
In the event of opposition from Messrs.
Payne, dalzell and the others, their repub
licanism will be called into queHtaJn by
the "powers that be."
The plan of the ullra-protectioulsts, It
is said. Is to rest their opposition on a
point of order when the provision for the
KrA,m apropiiatlon is reached In the sun
dry civil hill.
Representative Payne will open the de
bate on this bill tomorrow with a two
hours' defense of tho Payne-Aldrich bill.
Chairman Twany of the appropriation
committee declared that ho did not be
lieve a point of order would lie against
the appropriation, but if It should an ef
