CONCLUSION

After careful investgl alton OF the management
OF the office extending a period Of several
months, We are OF the opinion that at least $4,000
can be saved each year to the city by the abolition
OF the snecures which have been created since the
office changed from the fee to the salary sys-
require only the time Of one man for a short
portion OF each day. The office never be con-
Quoted properly by men OF the prevailing type now
employed. but with suitable employees II can be
managed properly and such saved each year.

LUMBER TRADE DULL.
Believed that Logging Operation will
Not be Very Heavy This
Winter.

Oconto, Wis, Oct. 5.-[Special. 1.-The
Holt Lumber company will have three
camps in the woods this winter. James
Urquhart, foreman of camp No. 2, with
q crew Of twenty-five men, has just start
ed for the north branch for the purpose
of making roads, cutting and skidding.
Two more crews will go in next week.
Besides, several jobbers will put in logs
for the Holts.
The rear Of the main drive is in the
Oconto boom and there remains about
100000 feet yet to be divided between
the Oconto company, the Holt company
and Hugh Mcdonald of Green Bay. The
Oconto river is filed with sunken logs
and large crew is at work sending
them down stream.
Local lumber dealers complain of con-
tinued depression in trade, except in
upper grades of white pine, which are
in fair demand, but cedar shingles sell
for nearly 500 carload less than three
years ago. The increased trade which
dealers last July looked forward to in
September and October has not come,
the cause assigned being the low price
of grain, although there is a prolific
yield everywhere. Railroads running
through Oconto are hauling less lumber
years and travelling statesmen are not
making sales sufficient to pay railroad
fare and hotel bills.
The president of a local company says
that they are manufacturing lumber at
a loss and that if the company had sold
the timber two years ago it would have
swelled their receipts 100000 greater.
Jennings, Sargent & Gilkey will not
log this winter as their burned-over tim
Der was all harvested last year
The Diamond Match company will
saw 9O,OOO.OOO feet of lumber this sea-
son, but will not put in a new stock Of
logs, as the supply now on hand will
keep the mills running two years at
least

FIREBUGS SENT UP.
Eight Years for Perren and Bloch
and Five for Robinson
Great Excitement.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. ESPECIAL. IA
verdict of guilty was returned as to
Bloch and Perren in the noted arson
case, but Jacobson was acquitted. The
verdict was received at 1915 O'Clock
this morning, the jury having been out
about three hours. 1t seemed as though
the entire town had turned out to hear
the result of the trial and the most in
tense excitement prevailed.
1t is understood that the jury took
nearly 300 ballots. The first ballots
seemed to indicate d purpose to convict
all three. Then the jury took up the
case of Perren individually. At 8 o'clock
they came into court for further in
structions regarding the form of the YER
dict and some other points. 1t took an
hour more to reach decisive verdict on
Perren, and the remaining two hours
was spent on the cases of Bloch and ia
cobsOn.
Pandemonium reigned when the jury
presented it's verdict to the court. There
was much loud talking, and some threats
were made against the detectives. Some
of the friends of the prisoners were very
much excited. A revolver was taken
away from one of them.
Judge Fish passed sentence on the III
this afternoon. He sentenced PER-
and Bloch to eight years each in state
prison. Robinson was given five years
and ROsenow was set free in considera>
ton Of his having turned states ev,-
dence. The news of the sentences
spread like wildfre and the streets are
crowded with knots of people discussing

FRATERNITIES AT WAR.
Orphaned rho kaps" Under the
Ban at Madison for
"Lifting.'

Madison, Wis, Oct 4-[Speciall-
There is merry war among the Greek let
ter frlterniIies at the state university
merry at least TO the "barDIrlans, or
on-fratefnity men, who seldom have
chance TO smile at anything done by the
fraternity men. and appreciate their OBJ
portunity accordingly.
The trouble, which agitates university
circles far more than the Cuban insurrec-
ton, ariaes over the action OF the Rho
Kappa Epsilon, or Rho kaps, as they
are Familiarity known, local chapter or
ganized about q year ago, but which has
no mother fraternity, or fOuntainhead to
shed rays Of greatness on its members.
The Rho Kaps, it is said. has been trying
ever since they organized to secure recOg-
milton by and membership in some Of the
big Eastern fraternities and are credited
with having secured promise from the
great Psi L to take them under its pro-
tecting wing.
Strengthened by this promise, it is fur
thcr stated, they have been inducing the
members of other fraternities to leave the
old order and join them, a process which
is designated lifting" and which is a
gross violation of the ethics of fraternity
circles. Indignant at this breach of the
fraternal code, and possibly alarmed by
the prospect of depleted ranks, seven Of
Luc Oititi mugs ~ LIZ -
sity, the Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta,
Chi Psi, Delta Tau Delta, Theta Delta
Chi. Delta q and Phi Gamma Delta,
have combined in a trust with view to
crushing the aspiring 1edglings AS a
starter they will promulgate a manifesto
i'll which will be set forth their griev-
anceS.
Theoretically the college fraternity pur
poses to benefit it's members by uniting
them in bonds of good fellowship and
general improvement by mutual inter-
course, as well as affording them a pleas
ant home at the chapter house, which
each of the fraternities either owns or
leases. Practically those on the outside
say the main object of many of them at
least appears to be the securing of all the
places on the athletic teams and all the
other college honors possible which are to
be obtained by influence or com bination.
The securing of new members, who come
within the list of desirables is one of the
great objects of the fra teriiit ynans am
Oiti0n, and the freshman who has wealth
and other necessary qualifications is sur
prised on leaving the train in his advent
to the university to be met by party of
strangers who pilot him to a carriage they
have in waiting, drive him to his board
ing place, if he has one selected or tell
him where to find one if he hasn't and all
the time strive to impress upon him the
beneficent results of joining their fra ter
nifty and its superiority over all others in
the institution.

ATTACKED BY A MONKEY.
A Baraboo Man, Employed in Ringling's
Circus, Fatally Injured.

Baraboo, Wis, Oct. 5.-[Special.] In
formation has reached here of a terrible
encounter between James Rafferty, and
large monkey, next in size to a gorilla,
the fight taking place in one of Ringing
Bros tents when the show was at In
dependence, Kas., this week. The unfor>
tunate man, whose home is here. is now
at the point of death in a hospital.
1t appears that Rafferty,, who is the
boss animal trainer for Ringing Bros,
went into cage to take out a sick mon.
key and just as he was getting out OF
the door, a big monkey sprang onto his
head and shoulders. He at once realized
his danger and started to run to the ele,
plants, knowing that they would fright
en- the animal away. Unfortunately he
fell and then began the struggle for life.
1t was just at supper time and Rafferty,
was alone in the tent. The monkey
grabbed him by the wrist, cutting off
the sinews, also tore a huge piece out Of
his arm and tore almost the entire calf
off one leg. At last one of the attend
ants came in and dubbed off the mad
dened animal. The victim was taken to
hospital, but little hopes are entertained
for his recovery

ONEIDA FAIR CLOSES.
The Indians Made Highly Creditabl
Showing.

Green Bay, Wis, Oct. 4.-[Special]-
The second annual fair of the Oneida
Agricultural society closed last evening
and today the Indians removed the ex-
hibits to their homes. The fair was
much more interesting than the first
given by the Indians year ago. There
were more and better} exhibits and they
were seen by larger number of visitors.
The fact that the fair can only be
reached by conveyance from the nearest
railroad point, about six miles distant,
prevents many from this city from at
tending who would otherwise do so.
The display of agricultural products
and stock was very creditable to the In
dian farmers and there were some ex-
ceedingly fine specimens of fancy and
needle work shown by the women. The
programme of sports included running
and foot races, lacrosse baseball and
other games, as we'll as two war dances
each day. The latter, it must be said,
were not as exciting as those one is in
the habit of reading about, and of the
other sports the pony races alone
seemed to awaken any enthusiasm
among the visitors. The music fur
nished by the Oneida Cornet band, an
organization that has acquired much
proficiency, was an attractive feature of
the fair.
Boscobel, Wis, Oct 4.-[Special.] lon

FOOTBALL AT MADISON.
Varsity Boys Meet an Eleven from Ar
mOur Institute.

Madison, Wis, Oct 5.-[Special. 1.-The
University of Wisconsin football team
expects an easy victory over the Armour
institute eleven on the gridiron at Camp
Randall this afternoon. Not that the
Armourites haven't a fairly good eleven,
but the varsity athletes, made confident
by two successive victories against good
teams, expect to shut the Armour team
out without score, and even then they
will not put their strongest men in the
line, but will give several members IF
the second eleven chance to show what
they can do in regular game. Should
it become necessary, however, the older
hands will be ready to step in and take
the places of the weaker brethren, who
may be conveniently injured if occasion
arises. Comstock plays center, and most
of the regular backs will be in the game,
but the line will contain several men
who have not played in a regular foot
bali game.
The Armours arrived in a special car
over the st. Paul road at o'clock this
morning. and leave this evening at II %
via Milwaukee. The game is to be called
at 3 O'clock.

PROTECTION FOR PRISONERS.
Block System on the Baraboo Division
Entails Heavy Expense.

Baraboo, Wis, Oct. 3.-[Special]-
The Chicago & North Western road is
now using its new block system between
here. and Madison. The signals are
not by electricity as in the Hall system.
To do the work between here and the
capital city requires twenty operators,
or an additional force of fifteen men.
The cost for this extra help, fuel and
other expenses will be fully $1,000 per
month of $4,000 annually. This extra
expense is for safety only, and will not
help the speed of the trains. There is
so much traffic over this portion of the
road that it was deemed best to be on
the safe side, although there has never
been a bad wreck on this section of the
line. Railroad men doubt whether this
system will prove satisfactory and think
the proposed plan of doubling the track
at a cost of 100000 will be the only
solution.
