ZUELKE IDENTIFIED.
Daughter of His Victim Certain He's
the Murderer

Ripon, Wis, Aug. 3.-Julius Zuelke,
murderer of Edward Davids of Mark
esan, was brought to this city from
Montana by Detective Lou Zero.
There is not the slightest doubt of the
identity Of the man. Although some
what changed in his general appear
ance his pronounced features are the
same and he was recognized by many
acquaintance, including Miss Nettie
DaVids, daughter of the farmer killed
by him in May, last year. Zuelke
makes no effort whatever to deny that
he is the nan wanted. His actions are
anything but those Of a man impressed
with the onOrmity of his crime. He
has little to say unless spoken to and
then talks freely and politely. The
story of his proximity to officers at
Portage he prOnOUnces as perfectly
truthful. He then went to Winona,
Mimi, and afterwards proceeded west
ward under the guise of a tramp. He
showed little nervousness upon his ar
rival, but this soon disappeared when
it appeared that there was no violent
feeling against him in Ripon. Detective
Zero took him to the Green Lake coun-
ty Jail at hartford.

Milwaukee. Wis, Aug. 3.-The dis
cussions and lectures at the conven-
ton of the North American Gymnastic
Association of Physical Directors nave
brought to light a strong element tnat
fayors the more rapid Introduction OF
American ideas into the German sys-
tenn of gymnastic instruction. george
Wittig of ST. Louis represents fac
ton that terms itself the progressive
element. while G. A. cShlaef of this city
is the leader of an element which Inn
its progress to the gradual develop
ment of the German system. Herman
J. BooZ, director of the gymnasium IN
the Massachusetts Institute OF Technol-
ogy and of normal school physical ed
ucation at Boston, brought the discus
sion to a crisis yesterday afternoon
with an address on My Experience as
. physical Director in Boston. He
devoted the greater part of his address
To the games that Americans are play
iIg. He said that Americans we're
making more records than the Turner's
in all branches of athletics and that
the turner's might learn much in addl-
ton to what is eXpOunded in their
system if they wished. Booz was taken
to task for his radical departure from
the rules and views that had stood for
years as the test of system that de-
veIoped the mental and physical quail
tiles tremendously. His opponents
characterized American record break
ers as freaks not fitted for anything
else but one or perhaps two branches
of athletics G. A Schlaef delivered
an address on the Future of Our AS
ISOLATION, in which he maintained that
the German system should be devel-
oped slowly and every fad that might
Use should not be at once adopted The
national revision committee made its
report, recommending the substitution
of knee breeches for the long gray
pants that characterize the turner's all
over the country, together with black
stockings and shoes. It was recon-
mended by the committee that, in
stead of three field exercises, there be
one field exercise, one calisthentic and
one apparatus, these to be obligatory
on each class participating.

Madison, Aug. 8

Madison, Aug. 8.
Ex-senator Burrows is interesting
himself, as a member of the forestry
commission, in a plan to save the
state park lands to the commonwealth.
An act passed by the legislature last
winter commands that these lands
shall be sold. The act goes upon the
theory that the lands are deteriorating
in value and that the interests of the
state demand that the waste be
stopped. Mr.. Burrows believes that
the proper thing for the state to do is
to sell the pine stumpage and reserve
the lands and the rest of the timber
for forestry purposes. Gov. Scofield
and some others of the state officers
are said to be of the same opinion, but
they have not yes decided that under
the law they have any such right, as
the law commands the sale of the
lands. So much interest is taken in
the matter from this point of view
that an application may be made
to the legislature at its adj
JOurned session to amend the
law so as to permit the sale OF The
pine timber alone, or 1T least to save
the lands and the least valuable por-
llon OF the timber, the least valuable
from commercial standpoint, so that
it may be made the nucleus for the
work of the forestry commission. Mr..
Burrows says in support of his prop
sition that the people who will pur-
! chase the lands at the sale only want
| them FOR the timber and that as soon
as that is cut off they might as well
leave the title of the Lands in the state
| as to let it to into the hands of the
counties and make great deal of un-
necessary expense in the way of tax
sales with all the attendant tempta-
| tons for jObbery

VICTORY FOR ASSIGNEE.
Oshkosh Court Orders Delinquent Odd
Fellows to Pay.

Oshkosh, Wis, July 31.-Judge Goss
OF the municipal court has announced
his decision in the case brought by the
! assignee of the Wisconsin Odd Eel
lows Mutual Insurance company
against sixty-four members in this
county to compel them to pay back
assessments. The judge holds that
these members should pay up, and
| says that the fact that heretofore
members have been allowed to drop
out for non-payment of assessments
cuts no figure as the company had the
| right to enforce payment.
This means" said Assignee Fulton,
that certificate holders in the COM
pany must pay their premiums. This
, was test case and the Oshkosh mem
bers, ESQ strong, dubbed together and
raised a good big sum to fight it. I
had sued some sixty or more of them
for premiums due and it was agreed
to make a test case of the Stevens
case. Now that Judge Goss has de-
c1Ced that these back premiums
must be paid, the business
OF setting up the affairs of the
company can be pushed ahead more
satisfactorily. While it was pending,
have been very lenient in pushing
he collection of premiums, but I wish
you would say that I shall now insist
Upon prompt payment or be COM
PEELED to bring suit. The amounts
due range from Sc to $50 and while the
liabilities were only about $4,000, the
assets, consisting of unpaid premiums,
amount to nearly s180,O00. Therefore
apprehend no trouble in paying dol
lar for dollar on all claims. The com
pany was organized in February, 1869,
and made the assignment on Feb. II,
1897. 1t was due entirely to the fact
that certificate holders failed to pay
their premiums"
This test case will be taken to the |
state supreme court.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3.-The
monthly comparative statement of
the COVER lment receipts and expendi-
lures for July shows total receipts of
S3G OPT 400 and disbursements of $50
10G,90 leaving an excess of expend-
itures over receipts of 81 003, 500.
This deficit is accounted for by the
abnormally heavy expenditures Incl
dent to the beginning of a new fiscal
year. AS compared with June the re-
ceipts increased $2,442,7 zoo and the
disbursements increased by S2,166, 200.
The monthly statement of the pub
lie debt shows that the debt, less cash
in the treasury July 81, was 1898, 446,-
646, an increase during the month of
Sc, 100, $50. which is accounted for by
the corresponding decrease in cash in
the treasury. This decrease is in con-
sequence of exceptional heavy dis
bursements. The debt, independent of
cash, was decreased by $3.50 610. The
debt is recapitulated as follows: Inter
est bearing debt, $S47, 365, 800; debt on
which interest ceased since maturity
81 1886 $40; debt bearing no interest
1877 ISL, 442; total, $1,226, 1853 1902 This
however, does not include $5SS, ,95G
in certificates and treasury notes out
standing which is offset by an equal
amount of cash in the treasury The
cash is classified as follows: Gold
SITS, 044, TT; silver, 1921, 734 ,139; paper
S149 ,429 1892; bonds, disbursing officers
balances, etc, s1S,753,S22; total, $S67,,
