While there is decrease in the
number OF acres sold this year as com.
pared with last year there is an
increase of Sc cents in the average
value per acre.
There is large increase in the sale
OF lots in Marshfield and Grand
Rapids. The less settled towns hold
the record in number of transfers,
Remington leading with 4SO.
Grand Rapids has sold twenty-three
lots more than Marshfield, but Marsh
field leads in the average value per
lot. One reason for this is that one
lot and building was sold at Marsh
field this year for $4,000.

NEW LAW TOPRE=
VENT ANARCHY
All Naturalization Papers Void

June 5, 1908.
MUST NOT BE OPPOSED TO
ORGANIZED GOVERNMENT
Act Of Congress- Passed March
5 Necessitates Inquiry
by judges.

All naturalization papers issued
since June ;, 1903, are void and with.
out effect, not alone in Wisconsin but
throughout the country at large.
Congress at the recent session enacted
law. regulating the immigration OF
aliens into the United States, which
has not been complied with. Word
has been received here to the effect
that all naturalization papers issued
since June ) must have contained a
statement setting forth that the re.
Quirements OF the new law has been
complied with.
The new law which was passed by
congress March 3, 1903, was framed to
stifie anarchy. It will prevent rush
OF new citizens just previous to elec-
tlon and will require the judges to
make inquiry and be satisfied of the
applicants fitness before granting
full citizenship.
All that has been necessary hereto
fore was for the new citizen to hold
up bis right hand and swear TO a mass
OF stun that he knew absolutely moth
Ing about. Under the new law all
courts and tribunals and all the Judges
and omcers thereof having Jurisdiction
or naturalization proceedings shall, on
nnal application for naturalization,
make careful inquiry as to whether
the person seeking to become citizen
dlsbelieves In or is opposed to all
organized government or whether he
Is member or affiliated With any
organization or society entertaining
and teaching disbelief in or opposition
to organized government or which
advocates or teaches the duty, nece :
sity or propriety of unlawfully assault.
Ing or killing any officer of the govern
ment.
This will necessitate the printing
OF new blanks. Those who have been
naturalized since the new law went
into effect will be notified that they
LiuSt Ro CnlOuRn Tie new process.
Evidently the authorities at Wash
ington have just awakened to the re-
quirements Of the new law, because
not few passports have been issued
since June 3 On naturalization papers
that were issued since that time.
Some OF those who obtained the pass
ports have already left for Europe and
are beyond recall. In as much as
they are armed with the passports,
however, they are not likely to ex-
perience any difficulty, although they
are just as much subjects of the
foreign potentate they sought to cast
on as they were when coming to this
country.

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS
Maine Citizens Shoot and Cap.
ture Desperate Bandits.

NORRIDGEWOCK, Me-, Oct. IA
After a running fight through the
woods of several towns in this vicinity.
between four men who raided Nor
ridgewock's business section today and
a posse of 200 officers and citizens, two
of the fugitives We're captured, and to-
night the others are surrounded in the
woods skirting the Carrabassett river,
near North AnSon.
The two men now in custody were
been disabled by bullet wound in the
ankle and the other hopelessly corner
ed. The other two were driven into a
narrow strip of woods, surrounded on
three sides by boggy swamps. The
posse believed that the escape of the
men was impossible, and peremptory
demand was made to surrender. The
only reply was a fusillade of shots
from the thicket, and the fugitives
quietly slipped across the apparently
impossible bog with quite lead over
their pursuers.
The chase continued through the
village of Madison and into the woods
beyond Arson village, where the hunt
was stopped by darkness. Both banks
of the river are now strongly guarded
by deputy sheriffs.
The men captured gave their names
as Charles p. Smith, of Pittsburg, N.
H, and John Morrison, of New York,
and said their companions were John
and Fred Burns, of Canada.
Although several stores We're entered
and safes blown by the burglars, the
proceeds of the raid were small.

He KNEW TOO MUCH
Observation-Disclosures
MurderPresident Donnelly.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Michael Donnel-
ly, international president of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen, lies at his home recovering
from a vicious assault that is alleged
to have been instigated by the labor
leaders who are opposing his attempts
to purify the Chicago Federation of
Labor.
Donnelly was attacked on the night
of Sept. 23 while returning from a
meeting of the Packing Trades council,
the Central Trade union body of the
stock yards. For ten days the doctors
expressed little hope of his recovery
and gave out report that he was suf
fering from a physical breakdown
caused by overwork.
Private detectives were set at work
and they have just announced that the
guilty men are known and will be ar
rested as soon as the instigators of the
assault are discovered.
When Donnelly, on July 5, charged
the secretary of a large Employers
association with fixing labor leaders,
he was told by outside parties to keep
his hands off," He continued the fight,
and as a result charges were made
against several of the most prominent
officials of trade unions in the city.
Then came threats Of personal vio-
lence, but these Donnelly ignored, de-
claring that he would clear up the case
at any cost.
The attack on Donnelly came just at
the opening Of the series of conferences
between the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workmen and the
packing interests of the country. DON
nelly was to have acted as spokesman
for the men and all knew that his alb
sence from the meetings would mean
decentralization. His close advisers and
the officials of the union realized this
and gave out the report that he was
temporarily Ill. Vice President c. E..
Schmidt, Of the union, took his place
at the head of the committee which
dealt with the packers and the men
were pacified with the information that
he was working under Donnelly's or
derS.

REFUSE TO RETRACT
Union Veterans Turn Down
Apologize Resolution.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 14.-By a
fair sized majority the members of the
Union Veterans union today voted
down a resolution sdisclaiming any in
tention to wound the feelings of
Southerners in singing we'll Hang
Jeff Davis On a Sour Apple Tree" The
incident which gave rise to the resolu-
tion Occurred at a public reception for
the members given last night A
Louisville member started the song,
and it was taken up by a large number
of the delegates. At the executive
session late this afternoon, when the
resolution was introduced, the point
was raised that the order was not in
executive session at the time the in
cident occurred, and that it could not
be construed as an official expression,
but only that of some of the individual
members.
The only other business of import
ance transacted during the executive
session was the election of officers,
which resulted in the selection of A. M.
Legg, of Washington, d. c., as COM
mander- in chief, to succeed Gen. Dy-
enforth, who declined to-seel re-elec-
tion, although asked to do so.- J. w
Hammond. of Louisville, was elected
first deputy commander lin n-chief, and
J. w. Ellis, of Maquoketa,s Iowa, second
commander in chief. An executive
committee was also chosen.
