BREWERS FALL OUT.
The Raise in Price Given Prema-
ture Publication at La
Crosse.

La Crosse, Wis, June 49, Special. i
The premature publication Of a circular
signed by all but one of the La Crosse
brewing companies, announcing a rise Of
81 per barrel in the price of beer owing
to the proposed increase in the internal
revenue tax, may be the means of bring
ing on a beer war. 1t was the intention
of the brewers not to announce the rise
in price until after the war revenue bill
had been signed by the President, but
the circular got out, and now there is all
kinds of trouble in camp. The Onalaska
Brewing company, which did not go into
the agreement, now threatens to main
tain old-time prices in spite of the war
tax.
Oshkosh, Wis, June 13.-The Oshkosh
Brewing company, controlling all the brew
cries in this city, has decided on an in
crease of 81 a barrel in the price of beer
to dealers, as a result of the announced in
tention of the government to increase the
tax on beer one dollar barrel for war
revenue purposes. The new scale of prices
will go into effect as soon as the bill be-
comes law, probably July /.
The order raising the price on beer,
owing to the war tax, was promulgated
today. The advance in price is 81 per
barrel with a proportionate increase on
bottled goods.

Fifty years ago today the territory
of Wisconsin ceased to exist and the
first governor of Wisconsin, Nelson
Dewey. was sworn in. That this event
might be appropriately celebrated today
an act Of the Legislature and a proclama-
ton of the governor has made the day
a legal holiday in the Badger state. To

for the states most distinguished sons
and daughters are here at the capital to

MISS Villas TO MARRY.
Engagement of the Ex-Senator's
Daughter Announced at Madison.

Madison, Wis, June 13-The an
nouncement of the engagement of ex-
Senator Villas only daughter, Miss Mary
Esther. to Lucien NJ. Hanks was made
yesterday. The young people by educa-
ton, wealth, social position and long ac-
quaintance seem peculiarly adapted to
each other. Both were born in this city
and have been friends from their child
hood, while their fathers have also been
friends and close neighbors from boyhood
and their mothers friendship dates from
girlhood. The prospective groom is teller
in the bank of which his father is presi-
dent. Miss Villas is considered in every
way most charming young woman, who
passed many years in Washington society
while her father was successfully post
master-general, secretary of the interior
and senator. Since returning to Madison
she has been one Of the foremost spirits
in an organization of society girls whose
mission is to help the local poor, particu-

CurIs in StyIe Again.

Curls have come into style again and
fashion now DEGREES that the strictly
modish maid or >matron shall wear four
curls of hair. These curls are unique be-
cause they are not very often seen, and
one may not notice them. They are to so
alongside of and just below the Psyche
knot, the loose knot of hair that is so
much in vogue just now. Whether q girl
wears a high Psyche or a low Psyche
does not matter; she must appear with
these four little curis, each a trihe over
an inch in length, rather loose and dang
ling, two on each side of the head, the
higher about half way up, the lower just
touching the neck.
1t is just two years since curls came
into fashion and then they went out
quickly. This new style seems likely to
stick. however, for it is becoming and
popular already. The hair nowadays
among the very best persons is dressed to
give it a wavy, loose appearance in the
back, especially with the younger women
of society. Even the straiehtest stiffest,
most obdurate locks stand this treatment
we'll, and the Psyche or some variation
of it suits almost every girl. Whether
the Psyche is worn high or low, these
curls look exceedingly we'll and add much
to the daintiness of the hair.
The girl whose hair will not curl need
not despair. She can easily keep in the
fashion and at very little cost. These
new cUrls can be bought at several shops
for from 80 cents up. Pinned on in pre-
ciseIy the proper place these look natural
and could not be detected from the real
