Under The MiseletOe.

The home talent performance Under
the Mistletoe," was greeted by a packed
house at Turner hall on Monday even
ing. The entertainment was given
under the auspices of St. Margaret's s
guild and was participated in by over
80 young ladies of the city.
The performance was opened by a
curtain raiser, 'Plastique Movements
by Moonlight" in which about 40 little
girls made their appearance.
The play proper followed, and was
OF pantomime nature, not word be-
ing said by the actors But the story
of the Lady Generva" Twas neverthe-
less vividly told by the expressive mo-
tions of the body, demonstrating what
may be brought out in this line by
competent training. The characters
were taken by young ladies throughout
and the costumes were beautiful, being
OF the colonial style. The whole per-
formance passed off with the smooth
ness of professional production and
was credit throughout to those en-
gagged and to Miss Baker, under whose
able direction the entertainment was
given.

General Public.
Circuit Court in Jefferson County
Dodge County Court NeWs-Otfler
Matters OF Interest.

Circuit court convened Monday
against F. w. Stephenson of Waterloo,
charged with the murder of Deputy
Sheriff Cooper was at once taken up.
Our readers are familiar with the his
tory of the case: On the evening of
February s, 1902, Stephenson went
to the home of his wife who had separ-
ated from him, and threatened to shoot
her. She escaped down the outside
stairs and Stephenson following after
her encountered Deputy Sheriff Coop
er who had warrant for his arrest.
Throwing his arm around him Cooper
tried to persuade him to submit peac-
ably to arrest when without word OF
warning Stephenson placed a revolver
against the deputy's breast and fired q
shot through his heart, killing him
instantly, Stephenson then rushed
into Jos. Blaschka's saloon, where his
wife had taken refuge and fired several
shots at the woman which, however,
missed their mark, He then escaped
but on the next morning was captured
at the home of certain Jack Parker
in the town of York. Last Septem ber
he escaped with other prisoners from
the jail but after an exciting chase was
recaptured and placed again in prison.
These are the facts in short words and
while the trial is in progress we perfer
not to make any comments.
The defense is in the hands of r. B.
kirkland of Jefferson. one of the
most successful and experienced
attorneys in the state, ably assisted by
A. t. Ames of Waterloo The prose
cution is conducted by District Attor-
ney Jos. E. Davies Of Watertown who
we are pleased to note handles the
case like an old veteran. He will
prove a worthy foe to his learned
opponents.
The securing of jury was accom-
panied some difficulty, a special
venire of fifty jurors being summoned
in addition to the regular panel. but
by ten o'clock Tuesday forenoon
twelve men good and true had been
selected to try, the case. Their
names are: Edward Wicke. Frank
Newton, Edward Schildbach, D. S.

February Weather.

The month will open warm and thret-
ening. Moon is on celestial equat-
or on the 1st, tending greatly to excite
electric storms in many places. Dis
turbances will continue until about
the "A. bringing heavy rains, turning
later 30 snow over much Of the country.
1t is sa 4e to say that this first Febru-
ary period like the following periods
of the month will begin with moderate
to warm, bright days, but rain with
wind and thunder southwark will fol-
fow and turn quickly to snow sleet
ana very cold weather.
A warm period to watch is from the
8th to the 18th, The days of greatest
violence will be on and touching the
10th and 11th. Violent rains may be
expected generally over southern and
central parts of the country, while a
boreal counterpart in the form of a
furious snow storm and blizzard from
the west and north need not surprise
any reader The cold wave that
would naturally appear about the 11th
may possibly be retarded until after
the moons passage over the celestial
equator on the 18th. But those who
do not prepare for hard winter storms,
and for a cold wave and blizzard be-
tween the 9th and the 10th of February
will. we fear, pay costly penalty.
The final elimination of these storms
may not come before the 14th and
10Th.
The storm period extending from
10Th to the 23rd is covered by many
disturbing factors, This period dur
ing its opening stages will bring
change to quite Warm weather for the
season, the barometer will fall to un-
usually low readings and heavy storms
of rain, wind and thunder will speedily
be followed by changes of sleet
and snow, all winding up with stiff
wintry gales and cold wave from
the northwest Look for several days
of crisp freezing weather, after the
storms of this period pass off.
The last three days Of the month
will bring return of general storm
conditions, winding up on the 28th
with electrical distur dances and heavy
rains in many sections of the country
Upon the whole, we forecast an un-
usually stormy and dsisagreeable
February.

OpOSSum I'm Wisconsin.
(Communicated.)

The capture of numerous stray opos-
sum as reported by the Oconomowoc
Enterprise is explained by the following
Their being in this state is due to
Wilson Perry of Pennington, Wis.
While Mr.. Perry was travelling for
Milwaukee Harvester Co. OF Milwaukee
in the state of Ill. he had female and
ten little opossum's sent north to his
home. The young were allowed to go
free and the mother kept a captive un-
till she escaped during the first of
winter. Mr.. Perry recaptured three
of the small opossum's which he has
in his possessions at present. The
object of sending these animals north
was to try and see if they would not
live and breed here. And doubtless if
they had not been molested there.
would have been opossums here for
years to come as they are known to
thrive in colder climate.

A Poor Sidewalk.

Citizens of the First ward and those
who have occasion to travel the walk
west side of the city park com plain
that it is not in fit condition to travel,
especially during the wet seasons as at
present. The walk is low and water
remains there much to the discomfort
Of the pedestrians. 1t is pointed out
that when private sidewalks are out of
repair the owner is soon compelled tc
put them in shape and why not in this
case. OF course it is impossible to put
in a new walk now, but matters should
be attended to when the weather per-
mits. AS we understand the matter
the park is under the control of a
park board, which has not yet been
appointed New walks should also be
placed in the park for public travel. =

Dodge County Court.

At the term of circuit court,
which opened at Juneau on Tuesday
the interest of the people of Dodge
county was turned toward what prom
ises to be one the greatest criminal
cases ever tried in the county, that of
the state Of Wisconsin against Albert
Ullman charged with attempted mur-
der.
The history of the crime dates from
Aug. 3, 1902, when Miss Ida Ullman
was found in a semi-concious condition
on lonely road leading to her home
in Neosho, suffering from bullet
wound, which was then reported to
have been inflicted by an unknown
assailant. The whole community was
greatly worked up, and for about a
week, no facts could be discovered
which might implicate anyone. Fin
ally the girls father was closely ex-
amined and made complete confess
ion to the officers, maintaining how
ever that he never intended to shoot
his daughter. He claimed that he
wanted to scare her into admitting
that she had stolen some money which
he had missed and that the revolver
was accidently discharged. The girls
statement cOrroborated her fathers in
essential particulars, although it was
thought that she was trying to shield
him. Ever since the affair the girl
has resided with her father and the two
seem to be on good terms.

Sugar Beets.

The following special 70 the Denver
News of Jan. 21, should be read by
beet growers who do not know the value
Of their sugar beet tops: 'sAn impor-
tant tside issue Of the sugar beet industry
is being found in the feeding and fat
tening stock value of the sugar beet
tops, as applied to winter consumption
by cattle, sheep and hogs"
Zone Greeley colony farmer and
stockman reports the sugar beet tops of
ten acres of beets as a most successful
adjunct of the wintering of several hun
dred head Of stock cattle, while one Of
his neighbors is using sugar beet tops
as one of the chief factors in lamb and
mutton fattening for the coming spring
eastern markets.
'On many of the Greeley colony
stock farms these sugar beet tops are
being winter-fed to stock hogs with
exceptional advantageous results, the
hogs not only keeping in flesh, but ac-
tuaIly fattening on this practically
refuse of sugar beet harvest. One
stock farmer says that he pulled the
lOpS 1IOuu Hlo SuS dI DGcUS, UdhluS Cal
to leave the ..center buds'' of the beet
plant intact, from the time the tops
were big enough, and thau while his
beets yielded twenty-four tons to the
acre with high saccharine percentage,
he also fattened his hogs.
Sugar beet tops will average four
tons per acre and are greedily eaten
by all kinds Of Stock
''Mr. Charles Camp of the Greeley
colony harvested twenty-four acres of
beets last year and will use his ninety
six tons of beet tops as a fertilizer for
next years croppage, these tops being
replete in constituent soil-enriching
properties. Mr. Camp says that while
the sugar beet draws strongly in the
growth and maturity of it's harvest
upon the capacity of the soil itself, ma
ture has provided a reinforcing remedy
in the virllity of the sugar beet tops,
and that these tops, plowed under every
fall, will fully restore, if not actually
add to the extra soil strength consumed
in the prior seasons sugar beet pro-
duction. sugar Beet Gazette.

UNIQUE Work.

There has been on exhibition in
Keck's furniture store for some time
past chess and mill table, the work
of Max Riemann, which is unique in
every detail and shows the touch of a
skilled hand. The squares are made
of ten varieties of hard woold and 900
pieces were used for the inlaid work.
The table is said to be valued at $35
