JUDGE kIRWAN
is OVER WORKED.
Readjustmcnt of Fourth judicial
Circuit Necessary as Court
Work is Too Heavy.

Fond du Lac Wis, Dec. IL Special.
1t has become apparent to the legal
profession of the Fourth Judicial circuit
that the court business is such ut the
present time that one judge is unable to
handle all of it, and some action will be
necessary in order to lessen the amount
of work which falls upon the presiding
judge. There is no doubt but what the
cases on the Fond du Lac calendar are
sufficient in number to keep one judge
busy until the time of the spring term.
AS the matter now stands Judge Kir-
wan will have to close court in Deem
Der, and it is safe to say that he will
not have more than completed the crimi-
nal calendar leaving fully thirty cases
untried. Nothing can be done in the
way of readjusting the circuit until the
next session of the Legislature, but in
the meantime assistance should be given
Judge Kirwan. Realizing the condition
of affairs several of the leading lawyers
in the circuit have been called upon to
express their opinions. While the judge
is behind in LIS work the same is true

Sha stats Dancinn Ern

Shasta county, California, is the land
OF wonders. They have a volcano out
there that the natives brag about from
infancy to the grave They have conner
mines that beat all creation, and the in
habitants have even been known to boast
or the size and feroeity of their feas.
The latest is the dancing egg. Ii is
lald by some as yet undetermined in
sect on the leaves of oak trees Masses
OF these eggs cling to the under side of
the leaf. and as they advance toward
maturity they drop to the ground and
dance about like electrical automatic. Nv
holding an oak twig containing any num-
Der of eggs to ones ear a cracking sound
may be heard, like the splitting of eiec-
trlc sparks: The shell contains a tiny
SIub, working for release.
The curiosity is attracting great deal
OF local attention. In many towns col
Iectlons of the eggs are ON exhibition.
When laid on a table these eggs bound
about and spring into the air sometimes
TO a height of sixteen inches They are
particularly active in the early morning.
A theory is advanced that this embry-
onic parasites presence in such abun-
dance is probably due to the absence of
ITS natural enemy, the commoner insect
life, which long ago fell victim to sui
phur smoke and arsenical fumes. This.
latest insect novelty takes rank with
the sulphur bug, which is at home in
the redhot rooster piles. This, at least.
is the story told by the veracious inhah-
ltants OF Shasta county

AS VIEWED IN RUSSIA.
German Emperor Too Clever to
Burn His Fingers with Eng
liSh DiplOmacv

New York. Dec. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin says: The Tage-
blatt has received from st. Petersburg
the views taken in Russia of Emperor
Williams journey. In the Russian CAPT
tai it is considered that the Kaiser and
Herr Yon Buelow are much too clever
statesmen, and have burned their fng-
ers too much with English policy, to al
low their hands to be tied at this most
favorable moment for the continental
powers, all for love of England. There
are not the slightest grounds for Ger
many to cooperate with England. In
China only common action with France
and Russia against England can serve
the German policy. Neither will the
German policy in Africa be in the
slightest degree advanced by the annihi-
lations of the Beers republic.
The Kaiser's visit to England there
fore had no practical results. Germany,
France and Russia have all the same an
tipathy to the war, and will. for the
time being at least, not abandon their
expectant attitude, and will, for the flu
ture, keep a perfectly free hand.
1t closes by saying that an understands
ing between Germany and England is
the more impossible in that war has Civ
en- to the world startling proof of Eng
lands military weakness.

his feet and legs being burned into frag-
ments. The body was brought here this

INSANITY HIS PLEA.
Trial of George Eckert Of Wauke :
sha Charged with Wife
Murder.

Waukesha, Wis, Dec. 1.-[Special l.
Next Tuesday the trial of George Eckert.
charged with the murder of his wife last
August, will be: commenced in circuit
court. Eckcrt will enter /. plea of in
sanity. He has remarkably strong
case. He will be defended by c.. e.
Armin. Eckert will contend that he
was insane from the effects of the grippe
which he had in the spring and from
which he claims he never recovered.
Witnesses will be put on the stand to
show that Eckert complained ali summer
about his head and about buzzing in his
ears, which he told several people would
drive him crazy. George r. Jones,
whose deposition was taken several
weeks ago. testified that several times
Eckcrt had complained to him about his
head during the winter.
Eckert will also SHOW that there is in
sanity in his family. An uncle died in
an asylum in New York and another rel
atiye was confined in a Wisconsin asy-
lum.
Inmates of the Jail say that Eckert
walks the floor repeating that he is crazy
and wishes his friends would send him
to an asylum.
District Attorney Tichenor. who will
prosecute the case will introduce evil
dence TO show that Eckert was of Il
jealous disposition and had frequent
deavor to show that Eckert is a moral
degenerate, but fully responsible for his
acts.
Much interest is manifested in what
Eckert will say when On the stand, es-
pecially about the bullets found in the re-
volver which he turned over to the sher-
iff. They were rim-fre cartridges and
the revolver was q center-fire gun. Sew
eral of the cartridges had been snapped,
but did not explode, and people who
have had experience with firearms say
that it would be impossible to explode
these cartridges in Eckert's revolver The
two shots which killed the woman, if
they were fired from the revolver turned
over to the sheriff, must have been cen
ter-fire cartridges, but the most careful
search at the time failed to bring the
empty shells to light.

A Speech Which He Dill Understand

An American college student was tray-
cling OH foot through Germany. Almost
exhausted enc evening after a long
tramp, he dropped into a small gasthaus
by the wayside and having ordered a
mug of beer, he took q seat in a corner.
AT the other end of the long table on
which he had rested his weary legs sat
group of three or four men, and as.
soon as he had seated himself one of the
party arose and addressed him. The
others all lifted their hats.
But to the young American the speech
was utterly unintelligible. To be sure,
ne had studied German, he had read
Goethe and Schiller, but he could not
PICK out word from what he heard
tnat he mad ever seen in the works of
the poets. Now, he could not show his
ignorance. That would cut him off at
once from further acquaintance. 'tI'n
simply answer Yes, he said to himself.
That won't commit me-
Accordingly, he politely tipped his hat.
and. with a hearty "Ja,' settled back
IN his chair. The party now took on an
ar OF suspense, which became every
moment more and more hard for them
to endure. At last another of the grour
arose and addressed the traveller. but
with such rapidity of utterance that th@
whole speech sounded no more intell-
CHILE than Volapuk. Il must have made
a mistake TIE first time the student re-
peated owe: to himself but I'll foot
these fellows yet. If yes was wrong,
no will settle them, and so with good
natured laugh he answered:
'Oh, nein, mein freund; nein, neini''
At the reply all three sprang TO their
feet. A stick of Boer dynamite dropped
into British campfire would not have
exploded with less force. Then a third.
who had UP to that time kept silent.
