MAY MAKE ANTITOXIK
of Diphtheria Manufactured
by State.

Madison. Wis, Dec. 10.-[Special.1 J.
One Of the measures to be discussed by
the coming Legislature will be bill au-
thorizing the state university, i'll connec-
ton with the state agricultural depart
ment, to make antitoXin for the treatment
Of diphtheria. Senator James III. Noble of
Eau Claire, who is a physician, is look
ing up statistics and reports on this mat
ter and will introduce the measure.
The plan of making antitoXin has
been tried in other states very success
fully" he said, notably in Massachu-
sets. The supply Of the antitoXin is now
controlled by trust made up of three
firms and they hold the price up to q
figure which gives them from 200 to 800
per cent. profit. My plan would be to
instruct the proper state university de-
partments to prepare the antitoxin. They
have all the facilities, and the horses Of
the agricultural college can be used from
which to get the serum"
Il am convinced that it would cost
very little comparatively and decrease
the cost so that it would not be a burden
upon the poorer families to secure that
treatment which undoubtedly is the most
satisfactory way to treat the disease. /
propose to let the material be made at
the university and turned over to the
state board OF health, which can distrib-
ute it through the several local health
boards and by them given to the physi-
clans who have diphtheria cases at cost. "

WANTED TO FIGHT DUEL.
Theory That Charles Braken Ended His
Life Because Sweetheart's Mother
Prevented Encounter.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 12.-[Special j
The mystery over the death Of Charles
Braken, aged %, who was found dead at
the home of Jacob Dietz at Medina last
Saturday, is deepening. 1t was supposed
by his friends that he committed suicide
because he could not stop smoking. He
was found on his bed, dead, with the
cigarette between his fingers. However,
there was no poison found in the room.
Another report is that ne took his life
because Mrs. Dietz would not allow him
to fight duel with a rival for the hand
of Miss Dietz. Two weeks ago Braken
purchased a revolver to fight with, but
the girls mother made him return it.
1t is thought by some that this preyed
on his mind to such an extent that he
took his life.
A post norton will probably be held to
see if he committed suicide. He has been
here but a short time and it is not GER
tain where he came from, although it is
thought his parents live in Connecticut.
All his letters were burnt as soon as he
read them.
