Of Madison, who for many years was
United States district attorney for the
Western district of Wisconsin, will be
chosen by Judge Romance Bum as ref
cree under the new federal bankrupt
law, which goes into effect August l. The
office is a highly important one and is
judicial in its nature. The law provides
that courts of bankruptcy federal

its of which they have jurisdiction, ap-
point referees each for d term of two
years, and may in their discretion, re-
move them because their services are not
needed or for other cause; and designate,

assisted him upon ledge at the foot of
a pocket in the side of cliff about $50

when Co. H men arrived he was so

Charles Saus, all of Milwaukee. The

BARRIERS DISAGREE.
Oshkosh Tonsoria1 Artists Combina-
ton May Fall Through.

unanimity OF action on the part of the
BARRIERS relative to the advance in prices.
Some are going to make an attempt at
sustaining the advance, and, judging
from the comments of many of the pa
irons, there will be some vacant chairs,
if the extra charges are made. One of
the leading tonsorial artists of the city
expressed himself in effect that he would
agree to the new hours of closing, but
that he would not conform to the new
schedule of prices submitted The pre-
vailing hard times in this city, he
thought, was sufficient reason why an ad-
vance in prices at the present time was
the height of foolishness.

CHASKA COMMITS SUICIDE.
Sioux Who Married a White Woman
Kills Himself in .IaiI

Niobrara, May 6.-SamueI Campbell
Chaska committed suicide here. Chas-
ka was a full blooded Sioux
Zen years ago he graduated with
nigh honors at Carlisle and shortly ac-
quired notoriety by marrying Belle Eel
lows.
Neither the beauty nor wealth of his
fashionable society wife nor his learn
ing acquired by years of study at Car
isle could eradicate the Sioux traits
that generations had left in his blood
In few years he drifted back to the
reservation and sank to the level of
common blanket Indian again. His
wife left him years ago.
Chaska was in Jail at the time of his
death, charged with stealing horses.
This is the first instance in which full
blood Sioux ever committed suicide
By his marriage the man was related
to one of the most prominent families
in the east.

to Anton Seidl as the director and con-
ductor of the Philharmonic, Metropoli-
tan, and Permanent orchestras. There
are several candidates in the field, Mr.
Walter Damrosch of New York and
Mr.. Emil Paur of the Boston Symphony
being suggested.
A piece of news that came from Bos-
ton last night rather made it look like
Mr.. Paur, though Mr.. Damroschs
friends are by no means ready to ac-
cept it as settled. 1t is announced that
Mr.. Paur has been succeeded in the
Boston Symphony by Mr.. William Ger
icke, who was the leader eight years
ago.
Mr.. Paur's five years contract in
Boston has expired and has not been
renewed, and it is said that it's nom
renewal by Col. Higginson, the finan-
cial backbone of Boston's fine orches-
trail society, was by mutual under
standing, as Mr.. Paur contemplated a
removal to New York; in other words,
that those ''in the know have assured
him of his election to musical leader
ship here. The Philharmonic society
will formally decide upon it's new lead
er by vote at it's coming meeting, which,
will not occur for a little time yet, and
the Seidl and Permanent orchestraS will
probably follow suit at once.
