a SWindIe,

Within the past two wears several
collectors in the state have paid fancy
prices for some odd shaped, rare
stone specimens offered for sale bv a
young Scandinavian, living near Bus
SEVILLE, Jefferson county, who claim
ed to have found them near a small
lake. Their peculiar shape and the
fact that none like them had ever been
found by anyone else, either in that
or any other locality, finally excited
suspicion and one of the victims as
sumed the role of a detective. He
finally traced the young man to his
abiding place and found his stone i'm
plement workshop, and forced from
him a confession that the specimens
were of his own manufacture and that
of an assistant. Noted collectors at
Madison, GAINESVILLE and other points
were swindled by this schemer. :

ASsemblyman Webster.

The Madison Journal gives this in
teresting sketch of Sam Webster,
member of assembly from the Second
Dodge county district:
When one talks with Samuel R.
Webster, ofDodge county, one almost
wishes he too were a farmer. The
average farmer complains of hard
times and wishes he were sailor,
etc., but this assemblyman from Eliza
is just us happy as he thinks of his
$40 acres, and his wife and five chill
dren, the oldest big girl of 16 years,
in school at Columbus-for that city
is only 2& miles away; and, like
enough when the routine of the as
sembly gets dry, Mr.. Webster wishes
he were back there. He was born on
the very spot. His father came out
from New York state in 1913 and in
1916, while Wisconsin was territory
and when Indians hooted in the
woods and other things were primal,
the Webster land was entered. The
father planted the business, which is
mainly stock growing; horses, cattle,
Poland China hogs. OF course the
son raises corn and oats and does
general farming and sends 2OOpounds
of milk to a creamery near by. Mr..
Webster still believes in horses. He
has some twenty five and thinks prices
are going to be better. The farm
used 60 carry sheep-there were 500
Of them at one time and the father
paid $5OOfor a half interest in ram,
but the foot rot struck them, prices
went to pieces and the sheep were
cleared off. They were the fine haired
Merinos, but since then the farmers
of Wisconsin have adopted South
downs, Shropshires, etc. He will
probably buy 100 ewes in the fall.
Snort-horn cattle are Mr.. Webster's
speciality, and he sells them all over
the state, mainly to the north. He
advertises in the agricultural papers;
to one, for instance, he paid $50
year. He has now sixty head Of reg
istered short horns. One imported
bull, weighing 2,7OO pounds, he paid
$3.50 for when only Is months old.
''Why should men get so impatient to
live in the city," Mr.. Webster said to
a State Journal man. eve have a
fine big brick house my father built
with all sorts of conveniences. There
is enough to eat. no matter how hard
the times are Ii one of the family
gets tired Of the country, why harness
up the smashing span of carriage
horses and drive over to Columbus"
His neighbors are prosperous. Mr..
Webster is a believer in education.
He married a teacher. Hestudied at
Ripon college for some two years and
then at Spencer's business college in
Milwaukee, He has served on the
school board ever since he came of
age, and John T Flavin, who has been
county superintendent for twenty
years. says the Danville town schools
lead old Dodge. Mr.. Webster carried
his district by 287, though it was
normally 44O Democratic. He is
we'll disposed citizen, as we'll as
good Republican, and does the coun-

Germans Alabama rroubadors.

The cars to Riverton all day yesterday
were taxed to their utmost capacity in
transporting the large number of people
that were desirous Of visiting this beau
tiful park and to witness the great attrac-
ton offered by the interesting programme
of the Alabama Troubadours. Two hours
of real enjoyment awaits the pleasure
seeking mortal, and when the perform
ance has been once seen desire is Great
ed for subsequent visits. The original
songs and sketches introducing several
phases of life in the sunny South are en-
tertaining to high degree. The company
made a favorable impression with the
public last season and this year their
work being Of an improved order they are
winning scores Of new admirers. The
remaining performances of the Trouba-
dours are sure to be well attended. and it
is safe to predict that standing room will
be at premium as 1t has been at each
of the performances given this week.

newspaper composition that turned out

discover the fraud, some with inpatlence
and some mentally vowing they won't be
fooled again. Our readers who are hon
estly searching for remedy advertised in
their local papers, drop onto one and in
Varlably the first question asked is, can
this be true? This leads to more i'm

testimony, instead of forever asking us to
believe statements of some one whom we
are not sure even exists? Carefully read
the following and see if it does not I'LL

ON The BATTLE SHIP,
She VIII Probably Be Visited Today by
Hundreds of People.

The Massachusetts, was not visited by
very many people yesterday. She has been
coaling up and taking on board her pro-
visions and greater part of the last few
days has been given up to this work and
visitors have not been allowed on board.
Tho officers Of the handsome ship are
making lots of friends in this city, and
are being entertained in very hospitable
manner by the citizens.
Universal regret is Expressed by all Of
the ships company on the assignment of
Captain Rodgers to other duty in Wash
ington which will take him away from
his present command. He is universally
liked by the officers and crew of the Mass
achusetts and has the reputation of being
one of the most efficient and best liked
captains in the service.
One Of the most recent officers to report
to the Massachusetts for service is
Lieutenant Cressup, who come to her as
navigator. He is regarded by the Navy
Department. as one Of its most efficient
officers and his assignment to the Massa-
chusetts is an Indication of the esteem
with which he is held by the officials at
Washington and recognition of his
ability. Lieutenant Cressup has served
several years at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis as an instructor in mathematics
and is generally considered to be one of
the best mathematicians in the service.
The battleship when she sails from
Portland will go to Boston and take out
the Massachusetts, naval battalion for it's
annual practice cruise.
