EVANSVILLE, WIS, Dec. I1.-MattheW
Bitson pleaded guilty to-day to murder
ing Mrs. H. E. Herne and his wife near
Shopiere, Rock County, last April. He
received his life sentence stolidly, MAX
ing no comment of any kind
The murder was the most brutal in
the history of Rock County. Bitson
was a tenant on the Herne farm. On
April Is last he became involved in a
quarrel with his wife, threatening per-
sonal violence. She sent her little
daughter for Mrs. Herne, who lived a
quarter of a mile away. Mrs. Herne
responded, and it was while en-
deavoring to pacify them that
Bitson shot both women and then set
fire to the house, burning the bodies to
ashes. He fled, and several days after

Clinton. He was afraid of a mob and
tried to commit suicide by shooting, but,

WISCONSIN BUILDING SOLD.
Cav PeCk'S Worlds Fair Club House Knocked
Down for s.. $40,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. Bids for the
Wisconsin state building at the fair
were not brisk at the sale to-day. The
structure was finally knocked down at
Sl,GlO to DR.. G. III. Willoughby. He
will remove the building to Sixty-sev-
enth Street and Stoney Island Avenue
and preserve it in it's present form.
About fifty persons were at the auction.
Bids came from half that number and
started at 81 900.
DR.. Willoughby got bargain, in spite
OF the fact that it will cost something to
remove the building. The structure
cost the state about $4,000, but that
sum did not represent its real value, be-
cause much material was donated by
citizens of Wisconsin. The wood work
is particularly valuable and the walls
are more substantial than those of any
other state building at Jackson Park.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactu1ed by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute If offered.

Superior Mon After a Branch of a Nam
moth Nail Plant.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 9.-Robert
Kelly, comptroller of the West Superior
Iron and Steel Company, left yesterday
for Chicago to negotiate with the Amer
lean Consolidated Wire and Nail Com
pany for the erection of a branch
of that mammoth concern in this citv.
The matter has been pending for four
months. The plant will cost $500, 900 and
will employ $50 high-priced mechanics.
In return for the plant, if located here,
the Land and River Improvement
Company agrees to give the concern ten
acres of land on the water front, ad-
joining the steel plant, and cash
bonus of 100000 to be paid monthly in
installments of 10 per cent. on the wage
account. 1t is believed that the secur-
ing of this big institution will hasten the
resumption of work at the steel plant,
as the latter would furnish nearly all
the material used in the manufacture of
the wire and nails.
