SHEDS HIS SKIN LIKE A SNAKE
from the Evening Wisconsin,:

From the Evening Wisconsin:
While Thomas Hackinger was walk
ing about Hauck's brewery Thursday
night a savage dog sprang out and near
ly bit off his thumb. Yesterday morn
ing, when Hackinger went to the City
hospital he presented a condition that
was far more interesting to the doctors
than the slight injury he had sustained.
While exposing his arm to view it was
noticed that his skin had a peculiar
waxy appearance, with scale-like in
crustations. At first the doctors thought
the man had psoriasis, but upon fur
ther investigation it was found this
was not the case. Hackinger says that
every year about the same time he sheds
the skin of his arm. It first began with
an eruption at the wrist, which peeled
off, only to appear again with larger
affected area than before. BY and by
the whole arm became involved, and
now, every June, he sheds his skin like
snake.
incidentally, the disease is known as
matitis-exfoliativa recurrence. 1t is
exceedingly rare, only one case having
1een noted before in this city. There
seems to be no cure for it. The incrus-
tation continues to spread until the
whole body is involved, causing the suf-
ferer no little embarrassment and in
convenience though they experience
little pain, except at the time of she'd
ding.

SHORTER WORK DAY.
Labor Will Soon BE in Position ia
State Terms.

Slowly, gradually but surely it is oe-
ing learned by all classes that labor IS
going to take part in the near future
in being one Of the parties to agree as
to what shall constitute days work.
The verdict will be, no doubt, that eight
hours is sufficient time In which man
shall expand the power Of his physical
being, continuously out of every twen-
ty-four hour, and when the agreement
il reached there is also no doubt but
what as much labor will be done by the
same class of men in the eight hours
as under the slave driving system OF
twelve or more hours. A better state OF
society will be ushered in, and the
workingman. win in time learn to wear
a smile that will fit his face as becom-
ingly as the frown now does as he
contemplates the stern hardships con-
fronting him as he tries to lift his
countenance among his fellow Great
ures. When labor learns it's power,
as it is now doing, there will be less
hypocrisy and more Christianity prac-
ticed, and the heather autocrat who
despises true Christianity will be pow
erless to grind under his heel honest
toll. His only escape from witnessing
the amelioration Of the unhappy lot Of
the toiler will lie in his power to take
himself hence from the society Of good
and true men and women, and hide
himself in the remotest corners of crea-
ton where people have neither en-
lightenment nor stigma enough to
demand their rights.

TERRENCE v. POWDERLY,
Labor Obi ects to His Removal From
immigration Bureau.

Immigration Bureau.
The removal Of Hon. T. V. Powderly,
commissioner general Of immigration,
from office has aroused the labor men
of the country, and President Roose-
welt has been bombarded with letters,
resolutions and kilograms from every
state in the Union, protesting and re-
GREETING his action: The old maxim
Of the knights of Labor, IAN injury
to one is the concern Of ALL" has been
well exempiified in the case of Mr..
Powderly. International organizations,
state organizations and local unions,
representing all branches of organized
labor, have written the president ex-
pressing their disapproval of the re-
moval from office of the representative
Of labor in the immigration service.
The secretary of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor and other prominent
labor leaders have called on the presi-
dent in his behalf, prominent officials
in the Knights Of Labor who were
formerly opposed to Mr.. Powderly
have interceded for him and the result
has been that the president has stated
that the removal Of Mr.. Powderly Is
in no way reflection on his ability
or integrity as an official and that it
is his intention to appoint him to a
suitable position in the government
service. ';, -. '>s'-+~s@' ~ ->> u" =

'FRISC0'S SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Cooking and Manual Training Are
Crowding Out Math ematics.

cooking and Manual Training Are
Crowding Out Mathematics.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Whether or not manual training and
cookery are to be abolished as compul-
sorry courses in the San francisco
schools depends now upon the deliber-
ations Of the city teachers and the
later meditations of School Superin-
tendent Webster, who is to report q
revised schedule to the board OF edu-
cation in about month. Three solu-
lions are before the teachers-to have
the manual training and the cookery
abolished, to have these courses made
optional, or to have them maintained
in lieu Of. certain Of the statutory
courses prescribed for the public schools
of California.
The trouble has arisen from an over
crowding of studies in the seventh and
eighth grades, the last two years in the
grammar school. According to- section
1865 Of the Political Code fourteen
courses Of study are made compulsory
for the public schools of this state.
They are U) reading and literature, (2)
writing, 60 photography, a. arithmetic,
w 6CO6AdpAyS wv AOCNAC otuuyy "ulCu
consists Of reading books on botany,
zoology and so on and studying co11ec-
tions of minerals and such things, CD
grammar and composition, (8) history
of the United States, (s) civil govern
ment, (10) elementary physiology and
hygiene, with special reference to the
injurious effects Of alcohol and narcot-
les upon the system, (11) music, 02)
drawing, (13) elementary bookkeeping,
az humane education, which consists
Of lectures by teachers on consideration
for mankind and the dumb animals.
But another section of-~the Political
Code declares that these shall be the
standard courses and that others may
be substituted. .r -:
But when the old board Of education
introduced manual training and cookery
and made them compulsory, theyf did
not omit any Of the courses prescribed
by the Political Code. Consequently
heavier work has fallen upon the high
er classes In the grammar schools OF
this city. i ,t9

WnIRl OF POLITICS
REPUBLICANS ARE TURNING THEIR
ATTENTION TO CONGRESSMAN.
Bede Has Them All at Seattle
Stands Well With the People,
Mccarthy IL a Candidate-Wil1-
Cuts Crowd ForRets Bede's Good
"Ork-Leglslative Talk Among
the Democrats.

Speculation in politics Is already
rather rife. The primary election is
five months off and yet candidates, on
the stronger ticket especially, are bob
bling up by twos and threes.
Page Morris withdrawal from the
Congressional race has brought out
many new candidates.
Senator Mccarthy, Of Itasca county,
has announced himself. and before an
other week passes away there will be
others to talk about.
Adam Bede will keep them all guess
ing. Bede has done good work for the
"stone church" crowd in the past, but
that has all been forgotten in the
whirl of politics.
Some Of them think lightly of Bedes
candidacy, but it will get rather seri-
Gus for them before he gets through.
They have not been able to size up the
situation al it really is. Remember
sthat there are no more conventions for
politicians to manipulate. Bede stands
we'll with the men who have the votes.
Its one thing to sit in a headquar-
ter, to send out workers and receive
reports, but it is decidedly another to
mix with the voters, the common kind
with the calloused hands; the kind
that appreciates the man with the
warm heart and who knows their
cause and how to plead it.
This is where Bede has them all out
done. There is a certain precinct in
this city where he has spoken but
twice and yet he knows every family
in it, and can call them all by name.
He will get almost every republican
vote in this precinct when the primary
election is held and don't you forget
The Democrats have not centered on
any one in particular. The complex
ion of this congressional district offers
poor encouragement for any member
of the party, no matter how popular
he may be.
Senator Baldwin will be asked to
make the run but he is needed in the
51st legislative district. He can be re-
elected in this district and there are
certain reasons why he should be re-
turned.
John Jenswold will be asked to be-
come a candidate for congress. It mat
tiers little how strongly republican the
district may be, the man who runs
on the Democratic ticket will lose MOTH
ing. There will be a reward for him
some time. If the people were not so
party blind John Jenswold could be
elected against all corners.
The people never had a truer friend.
And there is no man in the legal pro-
fession whom the corporations fear as
they do him, not because he would~be
unfair to them, but that he would be
; true to the people.
Then we must not loose hope, be-
cause a Republican legislature gerry

he contends that of all the prescribed
statutory courses arithmetic and gram
mar are the only studies that demand
thinking, that require mental activity
and scheming to learn, and that that
is their great value. If any courses are
to be dropped to make room for manual
training and cookery, both of which
superintendent Webster greatly favors,
he thinks they must be from among

mistakes In that business before, and
who can tell what will take place be-

met last evening at Kalamazoo hall
and decided to use every honorable
means to unionize every shop in the

It was shown that one of the boss
painters conducting paint shop and
art store on Second avenue West,
soliciting by advertisement and other
wise the patronage Of the citizens Of
Duluth for eight years is not a citizen
and refuses to become one and when
called to act as juror at court, asked
for discharge on the grounds that he
was not a citizen, and was not at
tempting to become one although de-
handing all the protection the city
can accord him. He is short of good
workmen because they refuse to work
for such an employer until he is will
ing to fulfill his duties as citizen.

BOYCOTT ON MEATS.
Some Causes for the High Price Of
Meat.

Some Causes for the High Price OF
The high price Of meat is worrying
many a man with but small wage to
live on. At first the retail butcher
was condemned for the raise in price.
A conspiracy was limited at, and as the
retailers had formed protective as
ISOLATION about that time the people
had good grounds for placing the re-
sponsibility on them.
Later the wholesaler was blamed and
everybody was loud in their denun-
citation Of the meat trust.
Now it is said that there is scarcity
Of beef on the market. Corn has
reached such price that the stock
raiser was obliged to raise the price
Of his stock in order that he might
get even.
Whatever the cause may be for the
advanced price of meat. the people
have kick coming. There has been
some talk Of organizing an anti-meat-
eating organization. The New York
Federation of Labor has taken the bull
by the horns and has placed a. boycott
on meat for a period of thirty days.
There are some people who say that
they can not do without meat that

vegetables and less meat they would
find that they would be stronger men.
The Duluth organizations should
also take some kind of action. Ask
the people to quit eating meat until
the prices come down some. More
than union men would support them
in this. It would in thirty days have
its effect on the meat business. The
trust has to pay its expenses here, and
it might as well stand some Of the loss
