G. w. Bishop Seriously Ill.

Because he is broken down and must
have complete rest. George w. Bishop,
ex-member of the state board of control
and we'll known throughout the state
in political circles, is at the Riverside
sanitarium, 1880 Humboldt avenue,
Milwaukee. He is under the immediate
care OF DR.. F. G. Studley, the physician
in charge, and it is stated that his con-
dition is considered serious.
According to friends, Mr.. Bishop is
suffering from nervous depression
which has affected him both mentally
ana physically, and much anxiety is
felt as to his condition. They say that
he has been failing for several weeks,
but he was unwilling to give up. He
was finally persuaded, however, to go
to the sanitariu1n- and it is hoped that
a long rest will restore him to health.
Mr.. Bishop served asa member of
the state board of control under Gov.
Scofeld and is the publisher of the
New North of Rhinelander. Since re-
firing from the state board of control
he has been engaged in various land
deals.

To Suspend Sunday Train Service.

The Chicago & Northwestern road
has again taken the initiative In q
movement to require less Sunday work
of its men. several years ago this line
laid on-Sunday trains as far as compati-
BILE with public necessity. 1t is now
proposed to give the experiment oflay-
ing OF ''dead freight" trains on Sunday
q test. These are the trains which side
track for everything else, being loaded
with less important freight than the
trains which overtake and pass them.
Live stock, meat and perishable freight
and for the time being coal will be
transported as before.
Other roads will watch the test with
interest. Some managers do not be-
lieve the plan practicable. Although
the move is considered to be in the
right direction, the other companies
are willing to let large system like
the Northwestern make the expert
ment.

Two Illicit Stills Destroyed.

Deputy United States Marshals captured two illicit distilleries and a 100-gallon copper outfit near Stewart postofice in Sevier county last week. These stills were located near the Arkansas and Indian Ter ritory line, and when officers from Arkansas became too active the moonshiners have heretofore evaded arrest by crossing into the Territory. The owners, Julius Bobo and Green Brennan, were surprised while asleel in their cabin few miles from their stills. The officers took the two prisoners to Texarkana, where Com missioner Summervile bound them over to await the action of the fed eral grand jury. The prisoners were then taken to Fort Smith, where they arc now being held for safe keeping.

Counterteiter Captured.

J. c. Adams, a coal miner Of Be- nanza, his wife and son, were ar rested last week on the charge of making counterfeit five, ten and twenty dollar gold pieces. Officers found in the Adams barn outfts for making coins of the above de nominations, and can containing $500 in counterfeit money. The coins are manufactured of lead, with heavy gold plating, and are calculated to deceive almost anyone during the ordinary course of busi- ness. The officers took the coin and succeeded in passing a number in saloons and stores, in order to test their value as circulators. When they informed those who had ac- cepted them that they were counter felt close examination of them had to be made before the declaration would be accepted as true. The son was arrested while engaged in dis tributing the money. The mother was taken into custody at the home and the father was found at work digging .coal.

 with their murder. The trouble took place on the Texas side. A number of Arkansas negroes, known
 as "the Arkansas gang" attended
 the gathering and their presence aroused the jealousy of another band known as "the Texas gang" Hot words followed and the Texas negroes finally drove the Arkansas gang from the grounds and were following them on their retreat to Arkansas when the shooting took place. The first negro kclled be- longcd to the Arkansas gang, the other two being Texas negroes, and receiving their death wounds inn mediately after the first man feil.

Supplies For State Guard.

Gen. w. H. Haynes, commander of the state guard, has returned from trip to Washington where he went for the purpose of securing necessary stores and supplies. Gen. Haynes succeeded in securing requi- sitions for everything necessary to fit out the guard in its entirety ifnantry, cavalry and artillery. The acquisitions also included tents and camp equipage, so there can be lit tie doubt as to the success of the coming encampment. Over and above these allotments Gen. Haynes succeeded in having allowed to the state by the war department credits for $32,000. These supplies arc furnished by the national govern ment under the new militia law and serve to put the state guard on the same footing as the regular army so far as the nature of equipment and supplies is concerned. It is thought that two thousand troops of the state guard will be present at the August encampment.
