Exhibits of butter or cheese will be
shown from all the dairy States Of
the Union intending Canada. Un-
der these circumstances the Wiscon-
sin Association feel a peculiar inter
est in the success of this Fair, to the
end, that our State shall be well rep
resented in eXtent and excellence of
exhibit. 1t is just this pride which,
in the past, has made US what we are
One of the foremost dairy States
of the Union. Ii we make show
at this Fair worthy of ourselves it
will prove of great advantage to our
State in reputation and future profit.
We therefore appeal to every maker
of butter or cheese, whether a fac

This community was consider
ably excited last Monday, when the
news reached here that thrifty Ger
man, named Henry Stuessy, owning
a farm in the vicinity of New Glarus,
was found on Monday morning with
in so rods of his house, lying stone
dead, with two gastly bullet holes
through his head, to show the man
ner of his taking-off. The theory
Of suicide being clearly untenable,
suspicion was strongly directed to-
ward the hired man, named Braiem,
as he was last in the murdered mans
company, and his intimacy with the
dead mans wife, which was freely
talked about by the neighbors sap
plies motive for committing the
horrid deed. Stuessy and his hired
man left the house on Sunday to-
gether taking rifle with them to
shoot some game. In the evening
the hired man returned alone, stat
ing that he was sick and that Stuessy
would come soon. Not returning
that night, a search next morning
revealed the bloody tragedy which
had been enacted within sight of the
murdered mans door. He was found
/ lying on his .un and three squirrels,
District Attorney Clawson and Sher-
/ if Studley went to the scene of the
murder on Wednesday, arrested the
hired man on suspicion, brought him
to town and placed him in Jail, where
! he now languishes. 1t is evidently

THE Land Department has made
a decision which will meet with con
siderable resentment among eX-
soldiers. 1t has been customary to
allow an eX soldier to file 4 declara-
tory statement for the entry of pub
lie lands, the claim to hold for six
months without a formal entry. The
purpose has been to give the eX.
soldier unusual opportunity for the
selection of land, allowing him to
relinquish the land upon which the
declaration was made and to enter
elsewhere if he should wish to do
so. Another advantage has been in
giving the eX.soldier this additional
six months in which to prepare for
actual residence CommissionerMc-
Farland now DEGREES that this is all
wrong and hat the ex.soldiors are
not entitled to the six months adj
vantage; that declaratory state
ment is in fact an entry. This de-
cision will upset the calculations of
hundreds of ex,soldiers who have
allowed declaratory claims to ex-
pire under the belief that they could
enter elsewhere-they are deprived
of all right to make an entry.
