TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
Game Wardens Are Getting Ready
for a Raid.
INDIANS KILLING DEER.
White Men Buy the Meat and En-
courage the Reds to Hunt
Out of Season.

Appleton, Wis, Sept. 27.-[Special. /
The game wardens of the northern part
Of the state are preparing for an extern
sive and well-organized raid upon the In
dams of the Keshena reservation, who
are Strengthening many deer, contrary to
law, and upon their few white accom-
plices, through whom meat and hides
have been disposed Of The unlawful
combination extends even down into the
Fox River valley, and Warden Bissinger
, was here recently looking up this end of
the combination.
The Indians of the reservation unani-
mously refuse to take out hunting IL
| censes as required by law. They are,
however, too crafty to hunt OH the res
ervatiOn, but sneak away. without per-
mission, on trips Of Il few days at time,
gong to certain locations north, north
cast and southwest of the reservation,
where the deer congregate at this season
Of the year. Here they kill remorseless-
ly for few days, tanning the hides inn
mediately, at some point removed from
| their tepees, and being very skillful at
hunting They they slip back to the res
eryatiOn, with no green hides in their
| POSSESSION and no evidence that they
have violated the game laws.
1helr hunting Is done mostly fer hides.
and the meat is left to rot. They have,
however, a few channels for dispOsing Of
some of the meat through white accom-
pllces, and here is where white men in
this valley and at points on the Ashland
division of the Northwestern road come
in: Parties go up into the woods, esten
sibly hunting cartridges, or cruising, er
fishing, and bring out a few carcasses
which they ship south by various inge
NOUS ways. A carcass Of venison was
captured at Amigo few days ago
packed in a vinegar barrel. Another was
found in chest marked wearing ap-
parel," and covered up with a few old
clothes. Several quarters were captured
at Greea Bay packed in the center of
crates of cabbages and sent by express.
1t is extremely difficult to get evidence
against the Indians who do the killing
except by catching them in the act in
the woods, and that is somewhat dan
gerous business. The trail Of their white
accomplices in this portion of the state
has been followed pretty closely, and a
| number Of arrests are expected soon
through these parties when captured. it
is believed many of the Indians can be
! reached and convicted.

NJ E. JON ES' TRUST.
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN STOCK.
HOLDER IN AN OCTOPUS.
Bryan,s Campaign Manager Holds
Cotton Ginners by the Throat-The
Round Cotton Bale Trust and Why
Bryan Does Not Denounce 1t.

Senator J. X. Jones, Chairman of the
Democrat National Committee, is a
defendant in a proceeding brought I'M
der the antitrust law of Texas. He has
company in his trouble. John E..
Searles, we'll known in Wall street as
one of the biggest trust magnates," is
a co-defendant. The Texans have
placed these two gentlemen under fire
because they are the heaviest stock
holders in concern known as the
American Cotton Company. John E.
Searles is President of the Organiza-
National Committee says his company
is but a large business concern" but
the TeXans-and Texas is a Democratic
State-think differently. 1t is charged
that the Jones-Searles combination con
stitutes a conspiracy against lawful
trade and free competition.
The American Cotton Company is a
monopoly if there ever was one. Not
only is entrenched behind $7,OO0,000
capital stock, but it is fortified by pat
ents which exclude the possibility of
competition. Nicoll's Stock Exchange
Handbook, a recognized authority,
says: 1.-THE American Cotton Company
is corporation which controls the pat
ents for machinery and processes in
making round lap bales
Controls word itself is sug
gestive of the octopus" 1t is the word
over which Mr.. Bryan fumed in his st
Louis denunciation Of trusts. Every
onginning plant in the South must
have one of the machines manufactured
by the American Cotton Company
They save time and money. The cotton
ginner must make his arrangements
with the Jones Searles combination. Il

THE CATHEDRAL AT MONZA.
Curious Relics in the Town Wher
Humbert was Killed

The cathedral dedicated to ST. Giovan-
nj is undoubtedly the chief object of in
terest. 1t was built in the Fourteenth
century, the architecture being in the
Lombard Gothic style. Marco da Cam
phone, who deservedly won much fame
for the artistic nature of his work, was
the designer of this handsome ediice,
which he built on the site OF church
founded in $50 by the famous Lombard
queen, Theodolinda.
The cathedral has double aisles and a
transept, and is flanked on both sides
with chapels. Should your eye chance
to rest above the portal you will notice
very curious relief, which represents
Queen Theodolinda amid her treasures,
while below is a design portraying the
baptism of Christ.
In the east transept is relief repre-
senting the coronation of the Emperor
Charles ".
The celebrated iron crown with which
the German Emperors were crowned as
Kings Of Lombardy is preserved in the
chapel to the right of the choir This is
the coronation of the Emperor Charles
V. in $780, Of Napoleon in 1905 and Of
the Emperor Ferdinand |. in 1888.
1t consists of a broad hoop of gold
adorned with precious stones, round the
interior of which is a thin strip of iron,
w ulCu, IIduIIlOu says, WdS utlut LIOLil
one of the nails of the cross. which was
brought by the Empress Helena from
Palestine.
1t is interesting to recall that it was
used as the royal crown Of the LON
bards from the time of Theodolinda on
ward, though its present form is proba-
bly, of the Twelfth century.
1t was carried off by the Austrians in
1859, but after the peace of 1866 was re
stored, and since then charge of 8
francs is made for viewing the venerable
relic
The visitor to the cathedral should GER
tainly see the treasury. which is veri-
table repository of objects of historic in
terest. To begin with, there is a hen
with seven eggs in pure gold-the idea
being one of Theodolinda's, to symbolic
LOmbardy and it's seven provinces.
There are couple Of silvered loaves
presented by LIE Petit Caporal after his
coronation, and the cross which was
placed on the breast of the Lombard
kings at the moment of their coronation.

has exclusive possession of the field
The ginner must come to the terms of
the combination. He can deal no place
else. He cannot even buy independence
from this 100000 combination.
The American Cotton Company re-
fuses to sell it's product. 1t leases it's
machines. The manufacturer attaches
one to his plant and yearly pays tribute
to the American Cotton Company. SO
great are the profits Of this combina-
ton that in the short time the concern
has been in existence Senator Jones is
said to have risen from the estate of a
comparatively poor man until he is
now regarded as millionaire And the
Southern ginners continue to swell the
bank account of the Democratic cam
Daign manager.
William Jennings Bryan, in his de-
nunciation of trusts at ST. Louis, gave
a list of the great corporations of the
country; but he left out the American
Cotton Company and the American Ice
Company. The others he denounced;
but these two great Democratic Organi-
cations he ignored. He exclaimed
Those who attempt to divide private
mOnOpOlies into good monopolies and
bad monopolies will never make any
progress toward the overthrow of
trusts
Therefore Mr.. Bryan will not succeed
as a trust smasher. Even in making
his division in monopolies Mr.. Bryan
showed strong discrimination. He speci-
fed such concerns as the Federal Steel
Company. Yet this combination is only
one Of several iron and steel companies
in the country. No one is forced to do
business with the Federal Steel. There
are the American Steel and Wire Com
Dany, the Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany, the National Steel Company, the
Carnegie Company, and there are 9th
erS.
But Mr.. Bryan made his division ia
favor of the American Ice Company
which had absolute control over the
prices in New York City, and which
last spring, turned upon the poor of the
tenement house districts and added to
its wealth by the suffering of the pow
erty-stricken; and Mr.. Bryan also
makes his division in favor of concern
which is so strongly fortified that every
cotton-ginning plant in the United
States is forced to pay tribute to it. II
depends, when Mr. Bryan denounces
trusts, upon whose OK is being gored.

Big Trees i'm Danger of Being Logged

Lumbermen are cutting down the big
trees of California. The finest Of all, the
Calaveras grove, which has the biggest
trees came into possession of a lumber
man last April. Some of these trees are
from 1000 to 5000 years old; older than
the pyramids and most of the temples in
Egypt Congress can save these groves
by making national parks Of them, and
an effort will be made to have it done
next winter But it will have to be done
quickly if it is to succeed. 1t comes near
being sacrilege to put these venerable
monsters through lumber mills.-Har-

UNCLE SAM IN CHINA.

From the outset Of the present diili-

question at home Of the attitude Of the
United States in regard to the dis
turbed and almost disrupted Asiatic

some OF the European powers will not

OF Chinese territory among them would
