A statewide movement has been
inaugurated TO secure the restoration
OF spring shooting. Sportsmen from
every part of the state are agitating
the matter and numerous memorials
will be presented to the coming legis-
lature on the subject.
The completed official count of
Wisconsin'S vote at the recent cleo
ton gives Mckinley plurality of
LOG, O02 and LaFollette a plurality of
1O3, 746. This is the largest plurality
ever given the republican ticket in
the state, being 1890 larger than Mr..
Mckinley received four years age ard
, too, in the face of the fact that the
total vote cast was about 5000 less
than in 1896.
The deer season which closed the
2lst inst. resulted in twelve fatalities
and the serious injury of twelve more
hunters. That is IN average of over
a man day for the twenty days Of
the season. to say nothing of the
hunters who were injured in parties
who made no report of the matter.
These accidents almost without eX-
ception are the result Of men being
mistaken for deer by careless and eN-
citable hunters.
The rapid growth OF the univer-
sity of Wisconsin is shown concretely
| by the classified statistics of the at
tendance as contained in the recent
ly completed university directory.
/ " ithout counting in the several hun
dred students who will attend the
short courses in agriculture and
dairying, there Is total enrolment
of 1852. which is a gain over last year
of 140. The most popular courses
are shown to be in engineering, law
and commerce.
According to local paper, Prairie
du Chen is again the center of attrac-
tion for pearl hunters and clam shell
fishers. The pearl button factories
make a steady demand for the clam
shells which sell readily. There are
two large factories, one of 60 saws
and one of %. The cutters make
from Sc to SO week. Some work a
few weeks, get money, buy a fishing
outfit and 90 to work on the river.
where they cara from $1.25 to $3.50
per day. The expectation of nnding
valuable pearls makes it difficult to
secure laborers in other lines. Many
thousands of dollars have been paid
out for clam shells and pearls and
this has proved of great benefit to all
lines of business. New houses are
being built, rents are higher and
there is not vacant room in town.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
Praise for Hot Water Heating System
Facts About the City.

TIL committee sent to Toledo to inspect
the hot-water heating system in that city
returned to Indianapolis yesterday. The
Yaryan system was praised by several
members of the committee, and It is be-
lieved the Board of Public Works will soon
take up the question of granting a fran
chise to promoters to operate a plant in
this city. While in Toledo the committee
inspected the plant and then called at
many places where the hot-water system
was used for heating purposes. Those who
depend upon this system in that city are
very enthusiastic over 1t and say their
homes are kept comfortably warm during
the coolest weather. Insurance men say
with this system the insurance rates would
be lessened about 10 per cent. in Indian
apolis, as the danger of fire Is greatly
diminished. 1t is said the plant in Toledo
is never out of order, and only occasionally
is there a leak in the pipes in the streets.

Results of Games I'm the Marion Coun-
ty Bowling League.

Most of the scores in the Marion County
and in but very few instances did the va
rious teams roll up to the standard of that
organization. 1t was an effort for the teams
to get above the 700 mark. and a score of
800 or better was exceedingly rare. except
ing in the Oneida games, and they did well.
The Centrals experienced but little trouble
in taking three straights from the Orien-
tails. The Apollos won the first and third
games from the Nonpareils, the second
contest being really interesting. The indi-
