He stole because his family was in. a
starving condition through his sickness

was taken into custody. Her husband
has always borne a good reputation and
the fact that he was sentenced after the
court was told all the facts in the case
has craZed her.

Wheat Crops Reduced one-Half.

Statistics tabulated by County Clerk
Huebing of Baraboo show that the acre
age of wheat has decreased one-half dur
ing the past year. In Sank County there
were 12,648 acres of wheat last year. but
bad seasons and competition in the North
west reduced the acreage this year to
6,1O2. Corn has increased 1000 acres
and oats nearly 5000 acres, which shows
that corn and oats have taken the place
of wheat. Dairy interests have largely
increased until there are 1892 cows, or
one to every two people. The cows are
valued at $294,O25.

Secretary of State Froehlieh has called
the attention Of county fair managers OF
the State to the fact that if they follow
a practice in vogue among a few OF them,
at least, they will not be entitled to the
90 per cent upon the full amount OF the
premium lists they offer, which the state
gives such fairs. Some societies are ao-
vertising to pay a certain amount OF pre-
MUM and then deducting part OF TINS
as entry fee; for instance, one, society
advertises thus: "No charge will be made
for entering articles OF animals for e1-
hibition, but so per cent of all premiums
will be deducted as an entry fee" Inns
means that the society would pay "out OF
its own pocket" but 10 per cent OF the
premium.

 Two Republics: A general of the army is under arrest for striking a policeman while in the performance of his duty.

 Two Republics: The executive has decided to increase the number of guards who police the frontier to pre- vent smuggling as the demand made on them for other duties is constantly increasing. These men, like the rn. rales, are all picked men of good character and have to live rough life, patrolling the border, often exposed to attack from armed snug glers.

Speirs, represented by Manuel Mar tinez del Rio, for the colonization Of national lands in the states of San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, Tabasco Cam. peche and Chiapas, has been declared To be null and void, because, whereas, according to the concession, Euro 'pean family was to be settled on every tract of one thousand hectares and that within year from the promnl' gation of the concession, at least fifty families were to be established, those requirements have not been compiled with.

 Mexican Herald: The city council of Mexico has decided to send to the Paris exposition series of views and plans of the spots where the sources of water supply for this city have their rise. The sketches of the De- sierto have been completed and they give good idea of the picturesque ness of that spot. The views in ques- tion were etchings due to the artistic skill of MT. Lorenzo R. Ochoa. They show the ruins of the old convent, the springs, reservoirs, fumes and spots in the neighborhood. Work has now been begun on the views of Santa Fe and Chapultepec where DOT tions of the city's water supply are derived. The execution of these views will be even superior that of the De- sierto views. The entire collection of views when completed will form part of the regular exhibit of the Ayuntamiento at the Paris exposi- tion.
