SIZE PRACTICE.
BADGERS ARE SWAMPED
Boat Filled by High Waves and Crew
Gets Aid from Cornell-Coach
O'Dea Makes Two Changes in Wis
consin Crew-Gibson May not
Row.

Poughkeepsie, June 1.-THE 'varsi-
ty crews to take part in the regatta
were out for practice yesterday Wis
consin's boat was fairly filled by high
waves and the crew was obliged to
put into COrnelIS float and dump out
the water. Hubbard of the Columbia
freshmen's boat is so i'll with appendi-
citis that he will not be able to take
part in the race.
The Wisconsin crews went out
shortly before 6 O'Clock. They did no
hard work because Coach O'Dea be-
lieyeS they need to recuperate from
their journey eastward. He says that
each man lost an average of three
pounds as result Of the trip and he
wants them to get the weight back.
He made two changes in the varsity
crew yesterday, putting Gibson in at
and moving Mather from to in
place of Palmer. Gibson was one of
the strongest men in last years var
sity, but he has been doing very little
training this season and O'Dea said
last night that while he would like
very much to add his strength to the
crew he was undecided whether Glib
son would stay in the boat or not.

clsm of the Panama project. The Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill

ferred to the committee on insular af-
fairs and not having been acted upon

N. P. BUYS UP
BADGER ROAD

Washburn, Wis, June 15-The
Washburn, Bayfield, & Iron River rail-
road was old to the Northern Pacific
road yesterday by Receiver A. c..
Frost. The road connects with the
Northern Pacific at Iron River and it
will now become a part of the North
ern Pacific system.
The road has been the source of an
endless amount of litigation and an
attempt was made early in the win
ter to tear it up under an order issued
out of the federal court Restraining
orders were secured in the state
courts and a conflict of authority re-
suited.
Contempt proceedings against a
number of citizens resulted in them
being fined $25 each in the United
States court, while the district attor-
ney and sheriff were sentenced to
sixty days each in the Dane county
Jail. The contempt cases have gone
to the court of appeals. The price
paid was $125,00G for the main line Of
the railroad.
The Northern Pacific will build new
docks and perhaps elevators and
sheds here. The citizens raised $1O-
900 as a bonus to the Northern Pa
cific.

Senator kittredge Of South Dakota De-

Yield to House Demands-Proceed-
ings in House.

Washington, June 17.-After a dis
cussion extending over parts of sever
al days the senate yesterday passed
what is popularity known as the Lon
don dock charges bill. Opposition to
the measure practically collapsed and
it was passed without division.
Consideration then was continued of

recommending that route, and assert
ing that he was satisfied that a good
title could be obtained. Mr. Kittredge
not only strongly favored the Panama
route which, in his judgment, was
much the better, but also attacked the
Nicaragua plan as lacking in definite
ness. He pointed out that Costa RIGA
was cOnstitutionally unable to grant
the necessary concessions to the Unit
ed States and said if the Nicaragua
route were selected it probably would
be long time before work could be-
gin, even if it ever could be- Just be-
fore adjournment spirited discus
sion was precipitated over a motion
by Senator Proctor of Vermont to
agree with the house on the army ap-
preparation bill. Several weeks ago
the senate was affronted by message
from the house, refusing to submit to
conference on certain senate amend
ments. Opposition to Senator Proc
tors motion was so vigorous that final
ly he was forced to withdraw it for
the present.

A Yield of Only 39,5Oo,COo Bushels
Minneapolis, June 15.-H. v. Jones.
who has been travelling through Kan
sas for some time Investigating crop
conditions, has sent report on Kan
$as wheat. He estimates a yield for
that state of 39,500,O00 bushels.
against 100000 bushels last year
This loss is due to the large acreage
abandoned, nearly 100000 acres of
the original seeding having been
subsequently plowed up.
The report says the average yield
promises to be SO bushels, against Is
bushels last year, a strong one-half
the yield per acre of last year. The
estimated acreage on which this
statement Of prospective yield is
based is 4,112,O00, against an acreage
last year close to 100000, and 5000
600 sown this year; of the latter total
about 100000 acres was abandoned
for wheat on account of drought and
first damage following the fall seeding
end over the winter.
Kansas had no rainfall for one wear
ending last April. Since then the
railfall has been heavy, resulting in
floods in several parts of the state
and some water damage in most parts.

consider that when railway train is
once checked its power is gone. Inter.
fere with the progress Of the Missis-
sippi and the river piles ur against
the obstruction, sweeps around it, un-
der it, and momentarily grows
stronger about it. The power wakes
until it sweeps away the fret.
Yet such is the contrariety of this
mighty stream that while it will over.
throw the strongest obstacle to it's
course that can be built, it will Weld
to the slightest. One could hardly
find more striking illustration of the
power of slight things than the sharp
contrast between the behavior of the
river against a powerful check and
against slight one. For years gov
eminent engineers struggled to direct
the river with massive stone dikes.
When the river could not overthrow
one of these it dug under it, and so
wrecked it. Money without end was
spent on dikes There was a mighty
one below Gold Dust landing in Ten
nessee. 1t stood longer than most of
them, but in flood the river at last
conquered and swept it away
How, then, can the river be directed?
Simply by few sticks set in the sand.
A row of piling, sometimes with a few
brush hurdles, accomplishes it. The
river sweeps through, eddies behind
it, dropping sand and building up
bar. Nowadays travelling down the
river through stretches that once were
broad and shallow, one finds them mar
row and deep, with sandy sides, over
the tops Of which can be seen just the
tips of the piles that accomplished the
mighty change.-Ainslee' Magazine.

been engaged. 1t includes chemists,
experts in running mills and men to

FIter serving iWelve Years IN Prison
Murderer is Again in Court.
Philadelphia, June 15.-After fifteen
years of oblivion, following a few
months Of national notoriety, George
H. Wilson appeared in public notice
yesterday. He was sentenced to nine
months in the county prison for steal
ing $50 from his employer. AT
Wilson's request the sentence was
changed to one year in the peniten-
tiary. .gE
On May II, 1887, Wilson was con-
victed of having murdered Wakefield
Gaines. The killing occurred three
nonths before that. CRANES -ody
was found. hacked to pieces and
slowed in a bag, at the bottom of
c. eek. For several weeks it was the
leading topic of the newspapers, which
regarded it as one of the most battling
mysteries of the period. 49,
With Wilson, Mary Tabbs was ar
rested. She was sentenced to two
years. Wilson, however, escaped the
gs-llows by getting a new trial and
pleading guilty to second degree
murder. He was sentenced to twelve
years Imprisonment, which he served.
All three were negroes.

Many Indian Skeletons.

Ellis Junction, Wis, June 17.-Four
large mounds near here on the prop
erty formerly owned by the Wiscon-
sin club on the west shore of Lake
Noqueby are causing considerable
comment here. The property is now
owned by Gus Bean. Excavations
have brought to view hundreds of
skeletons of human beings. The
bodies are all piled in heap and it is
thought they were all buried at the
same time, and that there must have
been some great battle in this vicinity
many years ago.
