SURPRISED THAT HE
PASSED EXAMINATION

The Tomah Journal Says: George
P. Hambrecht was at Madison last
week, where he took the examination
Of the state board for admission to
the bar. His object was principally
to familiarize himself with the re-
quirements, as he is not yet through
with his law course at Chicago
University. Quite Unexpectedly he
finds himself among those who passed
the examination and he is now en-
titled to practice. 1t will not, how
ever, change his plans for the present
He will return to Chicago for another
year at least, as he is the holder of a
scholarship won by the excellence of
his work during the past year there.
Mr.. Hambrecht is graduate of Chi
cago University in the Philosophical
course and was connected with the
Grand Rapids schools seven years,
three years as principal and four years
as city superintendent. He resigned
that position last summer, having de-
cided upon law as his profession, and
entered upon three years course at
Chicago University"

SEPT. l is TINE
SET FOR LABOR DAY

Governor La Toilette has issued the
annual labor day proclamation, desig-
mating Monday, September I, as
the day for observances. The governor
recommends that all industries cease
their operations on that day and that
the employers and employees join to-
gether in properly observing the day,
with the purpose Of promoting the
general welfare by the encouragement
of friendly relations between all classes
of citizens. The proclamation does
not make any reference at all to unions
or organizations or workers. The
reference to the cooperation of en-
ployers and employed is perhaps novel
in a proclamation Of this, heretofore
considered, exclusively union outing
day. The proclamation is as follows:
SPY authority Of law /, Robert NJ.
La Toilette, governor of Wisconsin,
hereby designate Monday, September
I, next, as labor day. With the pur-
pose of promoting the general welfare
by the encouragement of friendly
relations between all classes Of
citizens, and of impressirg upon all
the great Importance and the con-
sideration due la Dor, it is recommended
that all establishments of industry
within the state be closed upon that
day, and that in every way possible
employers cooperate with employees in
worthy recognition and becoming
observation of labor's holiday"

and Saturday afternoon he stole five

He had entered the store and tried

WORK In DRAIN
AGE MATTERS
Contract Let for Digging bitches
Of Lemonweir Drainage
District.
PRELIMINARY LEVELS
TAKEN AT BUENA VISTA
Proposed to Drain the Dancy
Marsh--Meeting Held to That
Effect.

The several drainage commissions
in this vicinity are busy getting
matters in such shape that work
can be begun this fall or next
spring.
f. E. Halliday has charge of the
survey of the Buena Vista marsh in
cident to the drainage of the same.
He is under two years contract and
has now about ten men in his employ,
engaged in running out the section
lines, marking corners, ETC., and TAX
ing few of the preliminary levels to
determine the general course of the
main bitches. He says it will be i'm
possible to do any dredging this year
and he thinks it will be late in the
winter before the estimates even are
filed.
A meeting of the land owners inter-
ested in what is known as the Dancy
marsh was recently held at Wausau.
Those in attendance were, G. D. Jones
of Wausau, Geo. III. Reynolds of Marsh
field, J. P. Malick Of Stevens Point,
D. III, Corlett of Eau Pleine, G. G..
Knoller of Dancy, Peter Hoffman Of
Blenker, Chas. and John Brinkman Of
Rockville, and others from that
locality, and Chas. Harmon and r. R..
Bourland of Peoria, ILL.,, Mr.. Jones
was chosen president and Mr.. Knoller
secretary of the meeting. A commit
tee of three, composed of Messrs.
Bourland, Mallck and Hoffman was
selected as parties to employ an attor-
ney to look after the legal part of the
work. The object of this meeting
was to form drainage district, and
the majority of the land owners on
the marsh are anxious to get matters
shaped so that the draining may be
begun next year, and thereby get the
property in tillable condition as soon
as possible.
The contract for digging the main
bitches of the Lemonweir Drainage
district was let last week to the r. N.
Andrews Co., of Hamilton, Ohio.
The contract calls for the completion
of the work before the end of next
year. About eight miles of bitches,
20 feet wide, are included in the con-
tract. 1t was necessary to increase
the width from the original specifica-
tions on account of the width of the
floating dredges. The parties operat-
ing dry dredges were unable to take
the work for some time to come.
Andrews & Go, is the company
which dug the main ditch OF the
Little Yellow drainage district in
Juneau county. They are now work.
ing elsewhere on contract which
they will finish in about two weeks.
On completing that they agree to
move their dredge here and do what
they can this fall. They are a re-
liable and responsible company.
The digging of the smaller lateral
bitches is not in this contract as the
company would not take them. That
part of the work will be let later or
may be done by the commissioners.
1t will be easily handled after the
main bitches are dug.
The commi sSioners are very much
pleased to get the work started tnis
fall and all parties interested are
glad to see the big project move along.

SOME ONE LIED
TO THE COURT
C0rdell and Wilkinson, Alleged
Watch Thiefs, Said, "The
Other Did It."
BOTH NOW BOUND OVER
TO THE CIRCUIT COURT
C0rdell Denies He Attempted to
Bribe Wilkinson to Plead
Guilty.

The trial Of II. j. Cordell, the pict-
ure agent, who was charged with
stealing Matt Farrell's watch Satur-
day, Aug. Is. took place before Justice
Cooper Saturday. 1t lasted part of
the forenoon and all the afternoon.
District Attorney Brazeau appeared
for the state and Attorney f. A. Cady,
for the defendant.
Matt Farrell, Jake Lutz, Officer
Gibson, w. G.. Scott, Robert Wilken-
son and Cordell were examined.
WilkenSon was the chief witness for
state. His testimony, in brief, was as
follows:
"Cordell was standing close to
Farrell for long time. He seemed
to be trying to sell him some pictures.
incidentally he took Farrell's watch.
He called me from Lutz's saloon and
said, Where can get rid of this
watch?' l answered, How do I
know; L am stranger Cordell then
said, Come, [ will tell you. 1 took it
from the mans pocket We then
went past Scott's jewelry store. Cor
dell said, Don't go in there when l
am with you Then he went past. Be-
fore going in Cordell made me trade
my watch for security.
II showed the watch to Mr.. Scott,
and told him l wanted to pawn it.
He answered, L am not in that kind
OF business. Where did you get it?'
1T is present from my mother, was
my answer. Lutz and a policeman
then came IN. Lutz asked me wheth-
er did not have watch that did
not belong to me. replied, Yes,
here it is, but that fellow on the cor
ner with the big hat took it."
Wilkinson claimed that Cordell had
offered him ten dollars to take the
whole responsibility upon himself.
Cordell had Informed him that there
was no need of both getting into
trouble and that he wanted Wilken-
SOD to do him the favor because he
had sick wife at home. II promised,
as Cordell told me that the highest /
could get was thirty days in the
county jail. When the charge was
read in court l realized that
[ was in for it. knew that one guilty
of grand larceny would get a term of
years in the state prison.
"Cordell proposed the whole trans
action. He lead me into it and 1
don't propose to suffer alone. He
said we should divide the proceeds
from the watch. l would never have
agreed had been in my right Senses"
Wilkinson gave his testimony in a
convincing way. He told how he had
been arrested twice before for dis
orderly conduct, that he had served in
the Spanish-American war and that
his sister lived at Syracuse, N. Y.
Cordell denied the main part of
Wilkinson's testimony. Wilkinson
tried to compel me to give him twenty
dollars. This L refused and he has
gotten me now into this trouble"
Cordell admitted crossing the river in
company with Wilkinson after the
robbery had been committed and that
he had entered Mr.. SCOTS store
while Wilkinson was there and asked,
Have you any reading matter?'
After Attorney Brazeau and Cady
had made their arguments, Justice
Cooper decided to hold Cordell to the
circuit court. His bale was fixed at
$500.
