One View of Game Laws,

Many Wise 'nsin papers are saying
much about the excellent game laws
as we now have them, Such approval
is all rot of the rottenest kind, The
man who ives where game abounds is
the man to be considered in the game
law question and not the sportsman. A
law that will fine the man who shoots
for sport and not for iood is the kind
of law that is needed, A law that will
let the man who lives in the back
woods kill game and trade it off for
shoes for his children would be de-
cent law and one that forbids the sale
is all wrong, What is needed is a
law that will protect the back woods
settler more than the game itself. To
kill for sport ought to be made a crime
and to waste game after it is killed
ough; to bring the offender a double
penalty. When will Wisconsin news
papers awake to the true situation and
stand for the right instead of injustice !?
We are afraid never.-Grantsbur
Journal.

The Office of revenue stamp agent at
Watertown has been discontinued and
the incumbent, II. j. Strauss, agree
ably to orders from Collector Mona
han, has sent all remaining stamps,
blanks and books belonging to the Of
fee at Madison, The change is made
by order of the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue for the reason probably
that the territory supplied from the
Watertown Office can be as well cover
ed from the Office at Madison, while
such an Office is really more needed in
the North and West parts of the state.
Watertown republicans are not so
numerously represented On the list of
federal and state appointments post

The Oconomowoc high school foot
ball team was defeated by fhe local
high school last Saturday by a score
of 21 to 0. Although the score was
somewhat one. sided the game was in
teresting from start to finish. The
first touchdown took only 80 seconds
Richards receiving the ball on the
kickoff, sprinted down the field for a
touchdown. Oronomowoc's offense
was very weak, as several times our
tackles broke through, downing the
man with the ball for loss. Our mon
were forced to punt but once, and ocon-
omowoc on the other hand, seldom
made it's distance. While Richards
was the star of his team he was very
ably supported Sy every member of the
team, Banks at fullback was easily
the visitors best man. The halves
were twenty and fifteen minutes.
Richards secured two touchdowns and
Parks and Hertel each one. Our line
up: Nellins, center; Wedemeyer and
Gates, guards; Wieman and Jaeger,
tackles; Jergeson aud Downing, ends;
Kielblock, quarterback; Parks and
Richards, halfbacks and Hertel full
back

Tillman's Work in the Senate.

Washington, March 2.-Senator Till
man obtained favorable action on his
bill to provide for district Judge for
the Western district of South Carolina.
A similar bill was introduced in the
House some time ago, and pressed for
consideration by Representatives John
son and Finley. There was opposition
to the bill from various sources in
South Carolina, owing to the uncer-
tainty as to who was to be appointed
in case the bill became law. The situa-
tion became so complicated that the
friends Of the bill became discouraged
and it was practically abandoned. 1t
is understood that should the bill be-
come law the President would ap-
point Representative Elliott to the
Judgeship. 1t is now for Col. Elliott
and his friends in the House to get
favorable action on the bill there.
Senator Tillman also obtained pre-
vision in the general deficiency bill to
pay South Cardinals Revolutionary
war claim, which amounts to some
thing over 800, 600. This claim has
been pressed by Senator Tillman per
sistently for the past four years and
assurances have been given that the
House conferees will accept the Senate
amendment, thus disposing of this
long pending struggle by South Caro-
lima
