w. c. RIPLEY, the crank who in
1898 attempted the life of John w.
Mackay in San Francisco, is dead.
He passed away in obscure poverty.
The shot fired by Rippey at the
millionaire had greater and more
direct effect upon San Francisco
than any other incident within a
quarter Of century. The would
be murderer escaped with a light
sentence. Mackay was thoroughly
scared and expressed both fright and
indignation. He had Just returned
to his early home after an absence
of several years with the intention
of engaging extensively in local
building and other enterprises. So
soon as the verdict was announced
Mr.. Mackay declared San Francisco
was unsafe for a rich man. He
dropped all his building, railway
and city transit schemes and left
town with the declaration tina,
thereafter he would reside in the
East and in Europe.

clearly the fine Italian hand of the
political manager is shaping things
for the approaching campaign for
the Presidency. The record now
being made will be yet fresh in the

is apparent to revive the tariff as

The entire production of the
world. A considerable in
crease in prices is therefore
certain. On top of this comes
the information that Senator
Perkins is making a strong
fight to- secure a higher tariff
on sugar, as he wished to en-
courage the beet sugar plan
tiers of California. Senator
Perkins believes that where
the Republicans can secure
control of the Senate protec-
ton will be granted by bounty
or increase of duty. The
San Francisco Bulletin in
commenting on the PROPOSE
ton says; Senator Perkins
has introduced a resolution
instructing the Finance Com
mittee to report an amend
ment to the revenue bill in
creasing the duty on raw
sugar. He will support the
resolution with a speech in
tended to enlighten the Sena-
tors as to the value of the
beet-sugar industry. The
beet-sugar industry is in line
with the iron and steel in
dustry, the wooden industry
and the manufacture of tin
plates. Sugar can easily be
produced in the United States
in quantities sufficient to sup.
ply the home demand, but the
cost of production in this
country is greater than il
countries from which we i'm
port sugar. 1t is just ques
ton whether the government
shall impose duties on foreigl
, sugar equal to the differenc
, in the cost of production o
whether we shall continue t.
buy our sugar abroad. Thi

Notice of Change of Date for Opening
of Wisconsin Dairy school

VI "ASOOhcm Daiy CChOOA-
The winter term of the Wisconsin
Dairy School begins this year Deem
Der first and closes February goth,

tory of the school but the change is
made to better accommodate the stu
dents whose factories begin operations
early in the spring.
Several new features in the way of

There are good prospects for large
class entering the school this winter
term.
Fifty students have already reg
istered and applications are coming in
daily. There is still room for more
students both residents of Wisconsin
and non-residents, but they should
apply to us at once as our accommo-
dations are now half filled. The
school will be supplied with from six
to ten thousand pounds of milk daily
Seven professors will each give a
course of lectures during the term,
and the four departm ents of the
school, the creamery, cheese factory,
pasteurizing room and milk testing
laboratory will be fully equipped.
At the present time we can locate
over les former students of the Dairy
School who are operating factories in
Wisconsin. We have had students
from tifty-five of the seventy counties
in the state. A few counties have
sent only one pupil, seven counties
have each supplied over twenty and
one county has record of forty-five
students who have attended the Wis
consin Dairy School.
A new illustrated circular describing
the Dairy School and its work has re-
Gently been issued. and will be sent

FALSE TRAILS

Two tramps were given lodging
Thursday night at the Jail. They
were liberated Friday morning be-
tween and o'clock and left town,
going south. Telephones and tele-
graphs had spread the news of the es-
cape and the two-hundred dollars re-
ward offered had stimulated lively
search by almost everybody who
could spare the time to get away. The
two tramps went rambling along in a
Weary Willy and Flowery Fields fash
ion. and at tho Rock school house near
Utt's place they got up in an apple
tree to steal a lunch when Capt.
Schloesser bounced down on them with
a drawn revolver. After considerable
explanation he let them go. Some
body tracked them into Potosi town
ship and captured them near the Far
rell place. Jim Sweeney, .out on the
search, picked them at Potosi and
held them for few hours until by
telegraphing to Mrs. Dyer he found
they were not the men wanted. Then
somebody tracked the same two men
into Platteville, where Jim McGonigal
is attending TO the settling OF the Block
bankrupt business, and McGonigal
got out crowd and captured the two
tramps. He let them 90 and they
were again captured at Cuba City by
an officer who had been notified by
wire of the Jail breaking.
THE PRISONERS NOW TALK.
Believing that the Muscoda burglars
have gotten well away and that they
will not be back to wreak vengeance
for violated confidence, the prisoners
at the Jail are willing to talk little.
They say the two men left the Jail at
$3.50 Friday morning; that they had in
their possession whole kit of burg
lars tools and each of them had re-
volver. Jack Webb says they want
e. him to 90 with them. but as he
knew them to be desperate men who
might kill farmer or an officer or
somebody he was afraid their crimes
would be laid onto him and concluded
not to go The prisoners tell of sew
eral other plans the men had of max
ing their escape
