Postoffice Inspector Ralph Bird Of
Milwaukee, has received word from Ohio
of the capture of Isaac o. Williams at
Lima. Williams was wanted for raising
money orders and last July operated in
GAINESVILLE and heeced two firms by
means of raised orders. He purchased
two money orders, one at Milton and the
other at Milton junction. One of the
orders was for 50, it is charged. he raised
to $40. and the one which was for SIPS
he is alleged to have raised to 1925.
The first order was writteasdn Juneau
and the other on Juda, Wis, and both
were changed to GAINESVILLE! One of
them was cashed by clothier and the
other by druggist. The man stayed in
GAINESVILLE about week.
His method is shown by these exam
Piles and in some cases it assumed very
original character. For instaace, while
in GAINESVILLE he is said to have secured a
marriage license, and going to the drug
gist at an hour when the postoffice was
closed, said that he was to be married
that night and was "brcke" on account
OF the fact that he had forgotten to cash
his money order. OF course with the
license the story seemed good, and in
this way he disposed OF the order.

Property Passes into the Hands of Mill
waukee Capitalists
At the annual meeting of stockholders
held at GAINESVILLE Tuesday, the property
of the Badger State Long Distance Tele-
phone Co. was by resolution sold to John
X. Fish, acting for new concern which
had secured control of the stock and
bought up the bonds to prevent fore
closure on the property. The following
directors were elected to wind up the
affairs of the company and dissolve the
corporation, viz: Judge F. M. Fisk, G. c..
Russell and G.. w. Whitehead of Mil
waukee, and Richard Valentine and f.
G. Grant of GAINESVILLE. The Office of the
company was moved from GAINESVILLE to
Milwaukee. The new company which
will be organized to take over the prop
erty is to be named the Badger Tele-
graph & Telephone Co.
Milwaukee men are largely interested
in the enterprise, the promoters being 81.
A. Upham, D. FL. Van Dyke, Charles c..
Russell and John K Fish of Milwaukee
and Richard Valentine of GAINESVILLE.
The new company is capitalized at
100000, with Richard Valentine as gen
eral manager. The business will be
thoroughly reorganized and broader
policy pursued, including extensions
from Stoughton to Madison by the way
of Mcfarland, from Beloit to Rockford
from Delavan to Racine and eventually
to Milwaukee.
During the summer the lines will be
extended throus hout the entire south
western part of the state. Copper wires
will be strung wherever the lines now
extend and the iron wires will be left on
the poles to furnish a double circuit.

Fred Vickers sent Is white Wyan-
dotte chickens to the poultry show at
Stoughton that were strictly in line of
prize winners. The highest score, on
cockerel, was 951s points, three more
scored 95, eight ga and four ranging from
921a to 9324. The average of the 10
exhibited was 81 points. which is quite
remarkable record.
The date of the 10Th Annual Fire
mems Ball has been set for Monday
evening, Feb. End, 1908. 1t will be held
in Academy hall and Smiths full orches-
ira will furnish the music. The floor
committee is made up as follows: Thomas
Whittet, S. A. Warner and George L..
Ogden, and the Fire Department. is
named as reception committee. Tickets
to the dance will cost one dollar; supper
will be served at the Bon Ton restau-
rant at seventy five cents per couple.
All visiting fremen in uniform will be
admitted free to the dance. That this
will be the pleasurable event of the sea-
son, goes without saying. The members
of the Fire Department are certainly
worthy of liberal support in their effort
to entertain, and at the same time every
one should take into consideration that
the proceeds of these annual parties go
to help defray the expenses of the vol
unteer organization. Tickets have been
printed for the 10Th Annual, and all
should purchase one whether they in
dulge in dancing or not. Remember the
date, Monday evening, Feb. 2, 1908.

Tobacco Notes.

Thos. Bigger, who has charge Of a
tobacco plantation at Vaudeville, Can
ada, during the season, is home paying
his parents in Fulton short visit.
Mr.. Max Meyer, of the N. Y. leaf firm
of Meyer & Mendelshon, is spending the
week in the state looking up tobacco
matters He is accompanied by his son,
Bernhard.
One of the best money yields so far
reported in the delivery of the present
crop comes from Mr.. Martin Mason of
Albion, who sold to Eisenlohr at 10&2c.
His Ia crop brought him S2077.
The American Cigar Co. advertise for
$50 hands to open their new sorting room
in this city next Monday. There is no
other single asserting room in the coun-
try that has accom- modations for so many
workmen.
E. G. Tallard, who has been in the
east for the past two months as sales
man for c.. L. Culton. returned home
Tuesday evening. Although his sales
have been satisfactory, he reports the
leaf business rather quiet.
W.T.. Pomeroy & Co. are daily receiv-
ing orders for their famous Comstock
Spanish tobacco seed. One day this
week the mail order business amounted
to about twelve pounds. The extra
quality of this seed guarantees an in
crease of sales each year.
Mr.. r. M. G. Glenn ofNew York, who is
at the head of the leaf department of the
American Cigar Co., has been in the
state during the week looking over the
purchases that are being handled at the
eight different packing points of the
state. Mr.. N. P. Strause Of Madison,
state agent, accompanied Mr.. Glenn in
inspection of the Edgerton branch on
Tuesday. ~
Some OF the litigation growing out OF
the delivery of the 1900 crop is still be-
ing handled by the courts. Three cases
! were settled in the Dane county circuit
court last week that were brought by G..
L. Culton against A. w. Boyce, L. A..
Thompson and G. FL. Brictson, Lodi
farmers. The defendants contracted
their crops to the plaintiff but at the
time OF delivery they refused to accept
the tobacco on account of damage. The
matter could not be amicably adjusted
and plaintiff brought suit for recovery of
advance money and $500 damages. I'm
der the terms of settlement the defend
ants paid back the advance on contracts
and the plaintiff pays costs and dismissed
the action

The majority of the Calcutta arabs
live on the streets, and seldom know
the shelter of a roof. Late at night,
when the traveller goes along the
streets he will find the walks on both
sides of him lined with the PROSTATE
forms of sleeping vagabonds, most OF
them boys.
When the ceolie boy of Calcutta is
old enough TO walk, he is showed out
into the world to earn his own living.
Uusally he begins by begging. These
boy beggars have peculiar ways OF
plying their trade. Almost naked. they
will run beside cab or an omnibus
containing white men. crying.

TT is a mistake to suppose that
placer mining is thing of the
past in California. Bonanza
strikes are bf course rare now,
but in Lake coenty. in the central
part Of California, men still hunt for
gold with pick end shovel and pack
mule. The red ;shirted miners still
tread the lonely mountain trails from
digging to digging as they did in the
days Of Bret Haite.
Many of these prospeetors combine
the business of hunting and trapping
with that of gold seeking. In the
winter they locate in some lonely de-
serted log cabin, many of which were
built in the old pioneer days. During
the rainy season they hint the deer,
bear, panthefs, wild cats. coyotes,
foxes, raceeons and quail with which
the mountains. abound. To them the
game laws are dead letters. The meat
they eat themselves, but the skins they
dry and cure ana sell in the spring.
With the proceeds they buy prospect
ing tools and provisions, and then,
to use an expression coined among
those same forest vagabonds, ''they lit
the TRAIL" All Skinner they prospect,
hunting among The ctags and in the
old worn water courses for color"
In that part of California there are
many old time pioneers who have

them means principally hunting and
trapping, with few cows and horses
to keep up appearances.
Even to-day there is 2 certain
amount of lawlessness in those dis
tricts, as in the time of the vigilance
committees. Not infrequentsy obnox-

tourist seldom goes, and masiy of the
inhabitants have never seen A railroad
train.
Sometimes man decides to move
his whole family TO other parts, and
then he loads his goods, his wife and
his children into covered wagons like
those that are called prairie schoon-
ers. Then they move on, day after
day, until a suitable piece of land
meets their eyes, and there they squat
There are some families who never
live more than a year in one place, as,
for example, the man who xyas asked
by a stranger why he was moving:

this place last spring an there wasn't
nobody here but the Riggses over at

six miles over by the mountain, and
another ten miles down the creek, and
the country's getting too thickly
populated, and guess well move on"

And all the time he will be slapping
his stomach TO signify its emptiness.
Some boys have done this so long that
on their right sides they have large,
round spots where the skin has be-
come toughened from continual slap
ping, and is as hard as the palm of a
laboring man. They have peculiar
way of striking with their hands
which gives the blow a hollow sound,
like hitting an empty barrel.
In the big markets OF Calcutta you
find crowds of boys who carry large
empty baskets on their turbaned
heads. They earn their living b.
carrying your purchases for you while
you shop. Almost all the traders in
the stalls began their careers in that
manner.

kins tDho Hated Medicine

Abddr Rahnan, the late Ameer of
Afghanistan, was a great king, an alb
solute ruler whose nod meant life or
death TO his subjects. In hundred
battles he had proved himself a great
warrior, but there was ONE thing he
feated-a dose of medicine.
One day, when he was very III, he
refused to take a nasty draught which
his English doctor prescribed.
Fortunately he had strohg minded
wife, who wrote to him:
"Are you a king or a boy? I
thought you a king, but hear that
you are a boy. If you are 4 king, do
what your doctor orders, IS you ex-
pect your people to do ,yhat you
order"
Abddr Rahman ineekly took the
medicine, and wrote back that he was
a king and no boy.
On another occasion nc left his
palace and rode hundred 1iiles away
into the mountains 10 avoid being
dosed by his doctor and his queen.
