Corn weather is another name for
the sizzling variety that has visited
this vicinity of late. While the
warmth is too great for comfort it is
ideal for the corn which has Just
sprouted about the country, and under
the hot sun the tender green shoots
are fast rounding into the semblance
of stalks. For this part of the season
corn is well advanced, and all indica-
tons point to great crop unless
something unforeseen occurs.
Tobacco, too, profits by warm
weather with occasional dashes of
rain, and the many farmers who are
putting in their crop at present look
for quick growth and a final good
supply of the weed. The crop about
Fitchburg was entirely destroyed by
a heavy hail storm last Sunday, and
although it has been replanted in
every instance the farmers are afraid
it is too late. Corn and oats in that
vicinity were also laid to the ground,
but these more hardy grains are ex-
pected to turn out all right The
storm did not materially damage
crops in other parts o fthe county.
Hay seems to vary in the different
localities. About Verona the growth
is reported light and thin, but from
other places the supply is said to be
practically unlimited, with low prices
a certainty.
Oats are doing we'll desDite the set
back by Sundays storm, and it is ex-
pected that the crop will be heavy for
the most part, although the cool
weather some time ago held back
both oats and corn in some places.
The present growing weather, how
ever, will offset this, and with fair
conditions for the next few months
the grains will turn out as well as
could be expected.

it flashed the winner, Waddell, still
full of running, a length ahead of Ter
minus, who just snatched second place
from The Parader by neck.
Bullman, who last year on Sidney
Lucas, won the classic race, came near
not getting a mount, having been dis
placed on Bonnibert by Jockey Turner,
then finding himself again out in the
cold by the withdrawal of Lady
Schorr. At the last moment Bradley
offered Bullman $4,000 to pilot Wad
dell to victory. The boy gladly &C.
cepted.
Wddell in this race won $4,000 for
his owner and Terminus $4,000. Pa

REQUEST ENDANGERED.
Oshkosh Liable to Lose Its Library
Fund

Oshkosh, Wis, June 23.-Judge G..
W. Burnell has handed down a deci-
sion on what he terms "the most inn
portant case which ever came before
this court, not only on account of The
amount of money involved but also
of the grave and difficult questions to
be determined" The case is that of
the heirs of Abbie Harris against the
city of Oshkosh to recover the value
of an estate estimated at SIS, 1000, but
probably worth over 100000 be-
queathed to Oshkosh for a public IL
brary. This bequest was made on
condition that the city raise an equal
amount, which was done by an Issue
of $4,000 in bonds and a donation of
$4,000 by Senator Sawyer public
library has since been built on the
Harris homestead, costing 100000
The contention of the heirs is or
the point that the bequest was made
III perpetuity in contravention of the
state statutes governing requests for
public and charitable purposes. The
judge says that the grave questions in
NolNSu IHuSI De SSltIeQ Dy the supreme
court, and that the greatest service he
can render is to speed the cause on it's
way to that tribunal. He declares that
if the lamentable necessity arises to
what appears to be an effort to divert
this benefcent bequest from its
original purpose, it should be done by
the court of last resort He therefore
makes his decision in favor of the city
of Oshkosh against the contending
heirs, but the case will be appealed to
the supreme court for final settlement
The case was argued six weeks ago
and the lawyers for the city were
John Cluwin and Bouck e Hilton; for
the heirs were Barber Bros. of this
city and Burr w. Jones of Madison.
The contending heirs are none of
them near relatives of Mrs. Harris,
but consist of half a dozen persons
scattered from Maine to the state of
Washington, most of them being
nephews nieces and grandnieces. In
her will Mrs. Harris divided some
$4,000 among these heirs.

Milwaukee, June 23.-The Vilter
Manufacturing company, backed by
the National Metal Trades association,
has obtained from Court Commission
or Hugh Ryan temporary Injunction
restraining the striking machinists
from interfering in any way with it's
business.
The injunction is a sweeping one
and it raises questions never before
brought up in any court, questions of
vital Importance to labor and to cap
phase of strike
Charles Quarles, the attorney who
won for the railroad brotherhoods
their great victory in the Northern
Pacific strike case, is the attorney for
the Vilter company. In the Northern
Pacific case Mr.. Quarles contended
that the employees had a right to
strike in concert. Judge Jenkins, fol
lowing old English decisions and
American decisions based upon them
decided that the men had no right to
strike by combination, only individual
iy. But the United States court of ap
peals overruled Judge Jenkins and up
held the contention of Mr.. Quarles
Justice Harlin writing the opinion
which placed labor upon an equality
with capital so far as the power o.
combination is concerned.
In the case involving the striking
machinists, Mr.. Quarles contend:
that while the men have a right tt
strike in concert, they have no RICH
-ot go any farther; they have no RICH
to combine to force the employers tt
do something which the employers ar,
not willing to do; they have no RICH
to attemp to establish their own rui
in the shops Of their employers or t
deter other men from working in tn
positions formerly held by the stril
ers; and they have no right to er
gage in any form Of boycotting al
srangement against the manufacturers

TRUSTEE HANKS WANTS $1,000
RETURNED.
TWAS LOST ON BRYAN
Suit Begun to Compel the Winner,
Milwaukee Man, to Refund
Interesting Development of the
Meyer Bankruptcy Proceed
ings.
Madison. June "a.

Madison. June "a.
When William Mckinley was
elected president of the United States
the second time William Grinker OF
602 East Water street, Milwaukee,
won a bet Of $1,000 which had been
placed against his $4,000. This was
odds of three to one that Mckinley
would win, and he did.
Now there is sequel to this affair
which makes a novel lawsuit. Sum
mons and complaint were served by
the sheriff on William Grinker and
Louis Geisenfeld yesterday The
complaint sets forth the facts sub,
stantially as follows:
The plaintiff, Stanley G. Hanks, is
trustee in bankruptcy for Mrs. Sarah
Meyer. a merchant of Madison. Mrs
Meyers husband, John Meyer, was in
charge Of her business. In October
1900, John Meyer went to Milwaukee
and, confident that Bryan would be
elected, he wagered $1,000 on the
three to one from Grinker. The
money was deposited with Louis
Geisenfeld and then things were
allowed to rest until the succeeding
month, when the election occurred
Mckinley was elected and Mr. Meyer
lost his bet. The stakeholder of
course paid the money deposited with
him to Mr.. Grinker.
Now comes the trustee in bank
ruptcy for Mrs. Meyer and alleges that
the money wagered by Meyer was a
part Of his wife's estate which was
then in process of adjudication in
bankruptcy and was not Mr. Meyers
to wager.
Tenney, Hall & Tenney are the
PLAINTIFFS attorneys and the case will
be tried in the circuit court here.
Mr.. Geisenfeld is engaged in bust
ness at 602 South Water street. Mil
waukee, and his codefendant is in his
employ at the same address.
Creditors of Meyers are of course
anxious for the suit to succeed. A
dividend is always welcome.

mand Denmark to fortify and garrison

voked almost an instruction, has sue
ceeded in getting message to the de
partment asking for a hearing before
his case is adjudicated. In spite OF
his request for a hearing Judge Noyes
will probably be transferred from
Nome to Sitka, because so long as he
remains at Nome he will be an object
of suspicion and dislike to the miners
of that great arctic camp, and there
fore it is deemed best to get rid o.
him.
