OPERATED ON

Trouble.
Suggestion that the Disease i
Cancer Is Denied by His
Physicians.

Berlin, Nov. 9.-Emperor William
yesterday underwent an operation for
the removal Of a polypus from his
1arnyx.
The operation was performed by
Professor Moritz Schmidt, and it was
entirely successful. The only incon-
venience suffered by his majesty is
that he has been enjotned. not to
speak until the wound caused by the
operation has been healed. The bull
letins announcing the result of the
operation caused much establishment,
even among court officials, who had
no suspicion that his majesty was
suffering from any affection of the
throat.
The operation was not a. serious
one and the surgeons expect that his
majesty will be out of doors in a few
days. He has arranged a hunting trip
for Friday, Nov. ~.
A bulletin was issued this morning
at the New palace, Potsdanl, as fol-.

AN ASSASSINATION
Collin Broker Shot in the Back by q
LAWYER.

Raleigh. n. c., Feb. 23.-Ludlow Skins
ner cotton broken, prominently con-
nected, was shot in the back Saturday By
Ernest Haywood, a, lawyer belonging to
an old and honored family and enjoying
large practice. He died at once
The shooting grew out Of scandal and
an alleged secret marriage with Mrs: W.
r. Tucker, widow and sister of Skin
ner's wife. The scandal involves three
of the most prominent families in Raleigh.
and has been more or less discussed for
several months.
Mrs. Tucker has been north and is said
to be in hospital the greater part Of a.
year, and has been visited frequently by
Haywood. Mrs. Skinner, who is young
and stylish and society leader, has
shown a. great deal Of irritation over the
matter A few days ago she received an
insulting letter from Haywood, and it is
reported Skinner and Haywood had an
encounter over it at their first meeting
after the letter was received. It appears
that Skinner expected an attack by Hay
wood, for after the killing it was found
that he had pistol in his pocket, though
he did not draw it and did not have an
opportunity to do SO. Haywood is both
prominent and popular here, but public
sentiment is very strong against him.
Skinner was a quiet and inoffensivS
man. He was the son Of Rev. II. e. Skim
ner. D. D., retired minister who for
many years was pastor of the First Bap-
fist church here. --,. 5.- - .--

Billings, Mont, Feb. ga syndicate Of
Washington capitalists are behind an ir-
rigation project which has for its object
the reclamation Of $4,000 acres of land
near Billings. H. P. Vermilla Of Tacoma,
manager of the syndicate, and Engineer
Marvin Chase Of Wenatchee, Wash, have
arrived and after tour of the lands it il
proposed to reclaim, will give some esti-
mates as to the measures to be taken TO
get water upon the arid tract. p
1t is proposed to construct an immense
ditch to tap the Yellowstone river, just
south of Laurel and across the Canyon
ditch. A tunnel will conduct the waters
through small range.
The proposed tunnel will be 800 feet in
length and will run to the Canyon OF
Alkali creek. The estimated cost of the
tunnel is SIS, O0O these figures being based
on the theory that nothing but solid sand
stone will be encountered. Canyon creek
will either be crossed by a large fume or
the ditch will be run around to a level up
to the canyon. From there the ditch will
run on to the land to be reclaimed. The
total length of the ditch will be about
thirty-five miles, and will be constructed
with a view Of watering much more land
than $4,000 acres to be acquired by the
syndicate After these lands have been
made arabic they will be parceled into $50
acres and sold as farms.

STATEPARK PROJECT
A Scheme to Preserve Devils Lake
and It's Romantic Bluffs from
Commercialism.
Area, if Purchased by the State,
Will Be Made a Haunt of

Special to The Journal.
WISCONSIN

Special to The journal.
Baraboo, Wis, Feb. 23.-An exceedingly
interesting proposition in the way of a
bill introduced in the Wisconsin legisla-
ture by Franklin Johnson, is to establish
a state park at Devils lake. It is under
ment ultimately of the entire lake and the
bluffs and the land for perhaps half a
mile roundabout.
The lake is a crystal sheet Of water a
little over a mile one way and about three
quarters of mile the other, with grand,
rocky cliffs on three sides, but with fer
tile tracts at one end and two corners.
These bluffs even to-day shelter more
deer than any like area in, southern Wis
consin, and together with the lake and the
grazing parts woulds form an ideal zoologi-
cal park.
If the undertaking develops to it's full
est possibilities high fence will be con-
structed to enclose the cliffs and water
a two-rnlle area, more or less, with suit
able cattle guards at the points where the
North Western railway enters and leaves
the tract, to curtail the range of deer,
antelope, buffalo and other animals that
may be secured. Bear pits and cages for
creatures, and the open lake for the web
footed and for fish of all varities are q
part OF the project.
Much OF the land has little value. The
marring of the beautiful scenery by stone
crushing plants is one reason why steps
are being taken by the people at large ia
preserve this romantic spot from utter dis
truction The only way this can be
stopped is by state ownership.
The whole enterprise might require an
expenditure Of some $4,000 or more.

So far there has not been any trading
in southern cattle by the cattlemen of this

cattlemen in Texas, New Mexico and

not need as many cattle this year as last
