LEFT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Secret Out as to the Presidents
Change.

Syracuse, Y. Y, May 5.-The Rev
George C. Richmond, EpiscOpalian, in
a sermon tells an unpublished anec-
dote about President Roosevelt, set
ting forth Nj. Roosevelt's reasons for
leaving the Eposcipal church and 60
ing back to the Dutch Reformed.
Mr.. Richmond says that when Roose-
welt graduated at Harvard he went to
his home in New York and although
born and brought up in the Dutch
church had come to the conclusion
that the Episcopal church had the st
creed, so he cast his lot with a Ne
York parish and became a teacher il.
the Sunday school. The forms of the
church, however, bothered him, and
he concluded that the ceremonies of
the church were unnecessary and
smacked of medieyalism. To cap the
climax, the church authorities criti-
cised him because he did not bow
when the rubric required such a pos
ture. This was the last straw and
he never showed up at church again,
but went back to the Dutch Reformed.

INFECTED HERD
SLAUGHTERED
ASSEMBLYMAN 7. G. THOMPSON
LOSES 27 kline.
TUBERCULOSIS THE CAUSE
State Veterinarian Roberts Orders the
Killing in Accordance With the
Statutes--State Pays Two-thirds
of Value Appraised as in Good
Health.
Madison, May 5.

MdulSOn, May D.
Twenty-seven head of cattle suffer
ing from tuberculosis were slaughtered
on AsSemblyman T. G. ThOmpson's
farm west of Deerfield recently, under
the direction of State Veterinarian
Roberts of GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Thompson
concluded there was some epidemic
ailment among his heard and at once
telephoned to Veterinarian A. l..
Fosse of Sun Prairie to make an eX-
animation. He pronounced q of the
herd to be afflicted with tuberculosis
II proved free from the disease. He
at once notified the local health
officer, DR.. j. Guam, who in turn
called the state veterinarian. The
latter ordered the Strengthening.
The state law provides that the
cattle to be slaughtered shall be ap-
praised at their value as in health and
the state shall pay two-thirds of the
loss. Justice VIM. Nelson appointed
as appraisers, Andrew BrictsOn, N. E.
Williams and H. j. Fadness. The
appraisal ran from So to $35 per head,
according to age. Gilbert, Lempke
and Blake of Deerneld, did the
Strengthening, and the state veterin-
arian examined the lungs, liver and
intestines of every animal killed. In
every one of the animals, one or the
other of those organs were in an ad-
vanced stage of decay. Only the
hides of the animals were saved.
The carcasses were buried and the
barns disinfected under the super
vision OF Health officer Guam, and
not until he certifies that the require.
ments to disinfectiOn have been car
ried out will the state pay it's share of
the loss. Aaron Gullickson the ten
ant on the place, was part owner Of
the herd.

FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS
SAN MIGUEL AND BAND ARE UT
TERLY ROUTED.
Philippine Band Receives Severe Set
back at Hands of Scouts Under
Command Of Lieuts. Nickerson and
Reese-Latter Wounded-Papers
Found May Prove Valuable.

Washington, May 5.-Unoficial re-
ports received at the war department
give additional details Of the cam
eral San Miguel and the utter route of
his band of outlaws by Philippine
scouts, commanded by Lieuts, Nick
erson and Reese. The scouts located
San Miguel's band about half way be-
tween CaloOcan and Mariquina, in
strongly fortified corral and block
house built by the Spaniards many
years ago and so we'll concealed by
the jungle that it had escaped dis
cOvery. Nickerson and Reese and
their men made gallan attack on
this stronghold under a very heavy
fire from the enemy through loopholes
in the wall surrounding the block
house. The scouts charged over the
wall and engaged the enemy in 4 hand
to hand combat, driving them into the
fort. In this assault Lieut.. Reese was
shot through the leg. San Miguel,
surrounded by a devoted body guard
of 80 men, undertook to slip through
the line, but being discovered, put up
a pIucky running fight. NickeTsOn
with fifteen men attacked Miguels
party, but withheld their fire until
within short range, when they put
three bullets through Miguel's body.
Miguel died gamely, shooting while Iy-
ing on the ground, wounded. Six Of
his body guard were killed. The re-
mainder escaped in the jungle. The
fight lasted an hour and a half The
Americans lost three killed and ten
wounded. Including Reese, the enemy
lost 40 dead that were counted, and
the jungle concealed many killed and
wounded. No prisoners were taken.
Many valuable papers were found on
the bodies of the dead and were said
to contain evidence against several
prominent officials in the province.

CARRIERS MUST PAY
LIABLE FOR GAME SEIZED BY
WARDENS.
Supreme Court of Neighbor State De-
cides That Express Companies
Must Reimburse Shipper if Con-
signmen tbs Taken by Officers in
Enforcement of Game Laws.
Madison, May 5.

Madison, May 5.
If a decision handed down last Fri
day by the Minnesota supreme court
is followed and sustained in Wiscon7
sin, Warden Overlook will have
smoother sailing in his efforts to en-
force the state fish and game laws. 1t
is a decision that will do as much as
any law that can be passed to prevent
the shipment of game contrary to law.
The decision holds that express com
panies are liable for shipments Of
game seized by the game wardens. 1t
was the outcome of a suit brought by
a shipper to recover the value OF game
seized by the Wardens.
The decision is Of more than ordl-
nary interest in this state as it will
oblige the express companies to eA-
anime closely any package received
for shipment to see if it contains game
contrary to law If the companies
know that they are liable for all game
seized by the wardens they will refuse
to receive any packages offered for
shipment contrary to law.

KEEP Up THE GUARD
TERSTATE MEETING.
PLANS OF GOVERNMENT
Problem of Minimum Size of Company
Serious One-Closer Sympathy
Should Exist Between Guardsmen
and Regulars-No Trouble to Get
Soldiers.

Columbus, O., May 5.-The Inter
state National Guard association of the
United States opened here yesterday
with % states and territories repre-
scented. Secretary Of War Root and
assistant, with Q staff Of regular army
officers. was present and delivered an
address.
Secretary Root was greeted by en-
thusiastic applause. He said in part:
There are only two ways of raising
an army, by CONSUMPTION or by volun-
tary service. The national guard is
the great school Of the volunteers 1t
is not intended the national govern
ment shall pay the expense of main
tanning the guard, but it is intended It
shall add to the efficiency, strength and
dignity CT the guard.
The question now being considered
is the minimum size Of the company
and it is a serious one. 1t should not be
fixed so as to kill the organization in
the rural districts, where young men
are not so numerous as in cities. The
required fve-days' training is also to
| be cOnsidered-what kind of training,
and many other things are to be de-
termined.
Lines should be laid down SO that
the regulars and the national guards
men will be drawn closer. 1t too often
happens that jealousies exist between
officers of the two branches, but that
| Gil
work. After the maneuvers at Fort
Riley last the officers Of both
! branches left, thinking a great deal
more OF each other. The elements
of one are needed by the other. There
will never be any trouble in raising
soldiers; the trouble will be in the
limit of the supply and transportation
and equipment. All need arrange
ments and organization. With the
national government performing the
quartermasters' and financial part OF
the work, and the national guard look
ing after the spirit, we can have an
army that the whole round world can
not compete with. The whole ques-
! ton Of efficiency rests upon the Of
/ fcers and men of the regular army
and the national guard and it needs
but the application of new law in
sympathy and kindness and with due
| consideration for others, and we can
not go astray."

SUSTAlNS LOWER COURT.
Supreme Tribunal Passes on Import
ant Bribery Case.

Washington, May 5.-The United
States supreme court in an opinion by
Justice Brewer yesterday in a case
involving the validity Of section 5507
revised statutes, respecting the bribery
of persons protected by the fifteenth
amendment, affirmed the decision of
the lower court declaring the statute
unconstitutional. The defendant was
indicted for bribing the negro voters
in the congressional elections of the
fifth district of Kentucky in 1900.
When arrested he sued out a writ OF
habeas corpus on the ground that the
statute was in contrayention of the
federal constitution. The district
court thereupon discharged him and
the government brought the case to
the supreme court, which affirmed the
opinion.
Announcing the opinion of the court,
Justice Brewer said that in no point
had it been proven that the persons
bribed were of any particular color.
Speaking of the statute, he said:

Favored by Commit
tee on Supreme
Court Rooms ?
Addition to North End
to Cost Perhaps
100000
Some Favor Separ-
ate Building in Park
or Other Site
Madison. Nav ).

Madison, May 5.
An enlargement OF the capitol to
cost perhaps 100000 is what is pre-
ferred by the joint legislative com
mittee as the solution of the problem
suggested by the memorial of the
supreme court regarding the made
quacy Of it's rooms, and the quarters
of the state law library. Not all Of
the members of the joint committee
have signed the report to this effect
and another meeting will be held this
afternoon to make a final determina-
ton The addition, if decided upon
by the legislature, would be at the
north end of the capitol and would
be built from the ground up and no"
be a rebuilding or addition at the top
floor of the present structure.
The item of expense is what is
sticking in the crops of some OF the
members. 1t is urged that a new
building separate from the capitol,
either in the capitol park or on a site
removed from the park could be built
to better advantage financially than
could the proposed new wing. The
plan of the addition is at present the
most popular of the three possible so
buttons Of the problem and it seems
altogether the most likely Of the three
to be passed However, there is con
siderable doubt as to whether the APP
preparation will be by many
thousands Of dollars as great as the
figure, 100000, which has been sug.
gested by the DRAFT Of the report
which was available last night.
The plan of the present Legislature
is to cut all appropriations TO the
bone" and to allow not a dollar more
than is absolutely necessary to get
Of the Golfers of the state. With this
situation existing it is highly improb-
able that an appropriation of $500, 900
would be secured at the present SEES
sion, but a start may be made and
the completion of the building be 50
extended over TEN of years as to
ultimately involve an appropriation OF
the suggested amount.
