Milwaukee Rioters Let on With Lecture.

Tho three rioters, Carl Mussfeldt, John
Runge and August Gutz, who were found
guilty by q jury at Milwaukee, were brought
into court to be sentenced. Mussfeldt, who
was the only one OF the three who could
understand English, was ordered by the
Judge to stand up. Being questioned,
he stated that he had four children and
was poor man. He was attired in a
coarse blouse and overhalls, and when the
judge asked him. Have you anything to
say why sentence should not be passed up.
on your" the prisoner broke down and
wept. Judge Sloan said:
These men are all strangers to me. Ihavc
tried to find out something about them
over Sunday. In view of all the circum-
stances Of the case have been inclined to
think thatit will not be best to intli very
severe sentence on tho three defendants.
No doubt the finding Of the jury was right,
but the court is, and has been all along,
inclined to be lenient in all cases OF mere
misdemeanor.
Addressing himself to the prisoner, who
was still sobbing and drying his tears with
a red handkerchief, Judge Sloan said:
Mr.. Mussfeldt, want you to understand
that II sentence is suspended and you go
out OF this court room a free man, YOU
must behave yourself. If you act like a
good citizen and support your family, SEN
tence will never be inflicted upon you. If,
on the contrary. you should take to riot
ing again, as you did last May. heavy SEN
tence will be visited upon you. Upon these
terms suspend sentence.
Applause broke from the audience in the
back ofthe room which the Judge promptly
suppressed. The terms OF the judges rul.
ing were explained to the other prisoners,
who had been unmoved listeners to the
judges remarks. and they took their de-
parture.

A Sensational Divorce Case in CHICAGO.

Mrs. Abbie Farwell- Ferry, daughter of
John V. Farwell of Chicago, has filed a
bill Of separation in the superior court
against her husband, William H. Ferry.
The bill alleges that the parties were mar
ried on Oct. -. 1876, and lived
together as man and wife until some
time in 1885. They had five chill
dren, named respectively, John Far.
we'll, aged ten; Frank, eight; Willie, six;
Montague, five, and Horace Ferry, three.
The complaint charges: Almost immedi-
ately after the solemnization of the mar
rage VOWS Mr.. Ferry commenced q course
OF tyrannical and abusive conduct toward
the complainant, which continued with
very slight intermissiou until they sep.
arated eleven months ago. So inhu-
man was the treatment she received at
his hands that it was unsafe and i'm.
proper for the complainant to live with him.
About March the 30, 1880, the defendant,
in addition to the large property OF which
he was the owner at the time of their mar
riage, inherited by the death of his father
an estate worth about $50, 900, but refused
her decent provision for her support and
compelled her to perform mental duties
and drudgery. He wouldn't give her
money with which to buy her clothes for
the children. The materials from which
the children's clothing was made were
generally cast-of garments OF the defend
ants family. She went without a new
hat for seven years after she was married,
and had to wear old dresses made over.

LABOR AND CAPITAL

POWER OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT
The relations of labor and capital and of labor
1nR men to their employers are Of the utmost
concern to every patriotic citizen. When these
are strained and distorted unjustifiable claims
are apt to be insisted upon by both interests,
and IN the controversy which results the welfare
C1 Eli ana the prosperity OF the country are
5eopardized. Any intervention of the general
government within the limits of its constitu-
Iona ;ninSn1rlty to avert such cond tion should

transmitted to congress at its last session
suggested the enlargement of our present labor
bureau, and adding to It's present functions thn

First Horses and Mules.

The first horses ever brought into
any part of the land now known as
the United States were landed in Flor
ida by Cabeca de VEGA, in 1927, forty
two in number-all of which persisted.
Florida also received the second M
portation, brought by De Soto, in
1889. In 1909 the English landed at
jamestown, in Virginia, having seven
horses with them. In 1929 Higginson
imported horses and other domestic
animals into the colony of Massachu-
setts bay. Four years earlier the
Dutch company had imported them
to New York. Up to l773 scarcely
any mules were to be found in the
American confederation. In 1883,
upon Gen. Washington's first retire
ment, he became convinced that the
work animals used in the agriculture
OF southern states were not equal to
the demands made on them, so he set
to work to remedy the defect. He in
PRODUCED mules in the place of horses,
the mule, it was thought, being found
to live longer, require less food, be
less liable to disease and prove more
economical for the aericulturist. AS
soon as the views OF this illustrious
farmer were made known, the king OF
Spain sent him a present of fine
jack and two Jennies, chosen from the
royal stud at Madrid. At the same
time Lafayette sent out jack and
jennets from the island OF Malta.
This lack, called the knight of Malta,
was a superb black animal, with the
form Of o stag and the ferocity of
tiger: The Spanish animal, the Roy
al Gift, was sixteen hands high, gray,
heavily made and sluggish in disposi.
ton. Washington crossed the breeds
and obtained a favorite jack, called
Compound, which united the size and
strength of the Gift with the courage
and activity OF the knight. One wag-
on-team of tour mules, the offspring
OF Compound and Gen. Washington's
coach mares, brought, at the sale of
Washington's effects, $500.

There has recently been going the rounds
OF the Western press an article in which
the statement is made that all bonds OF
the United States may be called in and
nsthening the public credit, passed
March, 1869, applies to no bonds out
standing except the 3 per cent. Upon it's
face it only refers to these bonds that are
redeemable after five or ten years, and pay
able in twenty or thirty years. The ~
and per cent. bonds now outstanding
have no sucL provision for redemption
within the period OF their maturity. They
were issued under the refunding act which
passed after the law referred to- and are
governed by the terms OF that act. They can
only be paid when they mature.
