Outagamie County Workhouse Of
ficiaIs Have Trouble with
Their Boarders.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 22.-[Special.]-
There are now five tramps confined in
the new Outagamie county workhouse.
Yesterday morning they got their heads
together and planned a strike. Their
plan was to wait until the superintendent
had gone to the city, leaving the turnkey
alone, and then refuse to work. In the
melee they expected to follow this rebel
lion as many as possible were to escape.
Their plan was overheard, however, and
two of the ringleaders were put in the
solitary confinement cells while the rest
went peacefully to work. Ten minutes
in the dark cells was enough for the mu-
tineers who at the end of that time
begged piteously and upon being released
went docilely to the stone-pile. 1t hay-
ing been demonstrated. that no foolish
ness will be tolerated, the officers at the
workhouse fear no further trouble with
the tramps.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 22.-[Special. !
The board of Normal school regents is
IL session this afternoon considering the
report of the committee of inspection APP
parently to investigate the demands Of
the seven Normal schools for an extern
sion of buildings and increases in force
of teachers. The committee consists of
President e. d. Coe; regents A. e.
Thompson Of Oshkosh; T. Fl. Lork of
River Falls, and f. Ostrand of Supe
rior. They were instructed to visit the
several institutions and report on their
necessities. Nearly all are in an over
crowded condition, the total number Of
students in the seven schools being be-
tween 5000 and 1000. In the Platte
vile school, with a seating capacity of
300, there are 42S students; at Stevens
Point, with accommodation for 216,
there are $50; the Milwaukee school is
crowded about II per cent. above its
capacity, and the same is true in a
greater or less degree in the other
schools.
Some relief is necessary, and the
board will doubtless ask the coming
Legislature for an appropriation to meet
the demand.

ance of Charles A. Provost, the Chicago
travelling man, deepens. Not the slightest
trace of him can be found. The last
seen of him was week ago last night.
Police and friends have secured the city

theory that he has thrown himself in the
lake, and that in a few days his floating
body will prove the theory. This is the
police solution of the disappearance.
Great sympathy is expressed for his
wife in Park Ridge, Ill, because OF the
daily letters, appealing for some news as
to his whereabouts. The police are still
at work, but they are no further than

the owner of which came upon him be-

compelled him to eat Il n2outhful of the
bird. This satisfied the owner of the
bird, who walked away, but before he
had gone a great distance lie was ever
hauled by the soldier who had loaded up
again, and compelled him to return and
eat a mouthful or two of the crow. The
owner the next day complained at the
post. The commander sent for the sol

you know this gentleman" The soldier
drawled out: ''Ya-as; we dined together
