Efforts were made at the factory to dis

two valves opening into other mains to

pressure in the clogged main.
Then the hydrant near Foster Bros.

The Wisconsin Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has recently issued
two bulletins of interest to farmers
and to the residents of villagesand
cities as well-in fact all classes of
people in our state should be inter-
ested in these publications.
Bulletin No. los is entitled "T
Improvement of Home Grounds"
1t consists of SO pages of printed
matter with thirty-two half-tone
illustrations. As its title indicates,
this bulletin tells of the laying out
of home grounds and the proper
method of planting trees and shrubs
thereon. Bulletin No. 1903 contains
still larger number of pictures and
sixty pages of printed matter. 1t
treats of trees and shrubs for shade
and ornament. Through the vari-
Gus pictures presented and the text,
one can learn of the trees and shrubs
that are hardy in Wisconsin and
best suited for adjoining home
grounds. These bulletins will be
distributed to all residents of the
state who apply for the same by
postal card free of charge, SO long
as they last. Non-residents should
enclose two two-cent postage stamps
to pay the expense of mailing. Ad-

es to vote for a person whose name
is not on the ballot, he must write
the name in the blank space under

not be marked in any other manner.
If the ballot is spoiled, it must be
returned to the ballot clerk, who
must issue another in its stead, but
not more than three in all to any

allowed in booth to mark ballot.

any person can see how it has been
marked by the voter. After it is
marked, it should be folded so that
the inside cannot be seen, but so
that the printed Endorsements and
signatures of the ballot clerks on the
outside may be seen. Then the
voter should pass out of the booth
or compartment, give his name to
the inspector in charge of the ballot
box, hand him his ballot to be placed
in the box, and pass out of the vot-

any physical disability he is unable

A. r. Hall, l.. &. Hanks, w. II.
Hoard, and others, have signed and
issued a formal appeal to the Re-
publicans of Wisconsin to nominate
Governor La Toilette for a third
term. The impudent assurance
which characterizes this appeal is
surpassed only by the brazen effront-
cry of the dictatorisa autocrat whose
political fortunes it is designed to
promote. Besides being a gratuitous
insult to the intelligence of the peo-
pie of the entire state, the appeal
serves as a notice to all persons in
terested that the half breed lieuten-
ants do not propose to be governed
by any considerations of party har-
mony which do not recognize Rob-
ert M. La Toilette as 1T. If a ma
jority Of the Republicans of Wiscon-
sin do not wish to be understood as
endorsing La Toilette, his domineer-
ing methods, and false pretenses of
reform, they should attend the pri-
maries when held, and vote for the
election of anti-La Toilette dele
gates. The oil inspectors, game
wardens, and other benefciaries of
the state administration will see to
it that all who wear the La Toilette
label are properly rounded up at
the caucusses, and the only way in
which to avert the disgrace which
an endorsement of La Toilette
would involve, is for the other fell
lows to meet the cohorts of "reform"
at the primaries.

The tunnel under the Hudson
river, which was begun thirty years
ago, was completed just before noon
March II, and party made up of
President William G. McAdoo of
the New York and New Jersey
Railroad, with contractors, officers
and guests, made a journey from one
end of the tunnel to the other. The
tunnel connects Fourteenth street,
Jersey City, with Morton street,
Manhattan. So accurate were the
plans of Chief Engineer Charles M.
Jacobs that when the ends of the
tunnel met there was not the varia-
ton of hair in the courses of the
Jersey section and the New York
heading. When the hydraulic jacks
sent the shield forward for the last
time and the last ring of plates was
placed in position it was found that
the joining of the two sections had
been exactly in line, both as to level
and direction. The bore just COM
pleted is that of the northern of a
pair of tunnels designed for passen-
ger traffic between Jersey City and
New York. Work on the south
tunnel is under way, and it's ex-
pected that both, with their ap-
proaches, will be ready for service
in little more than year.

Although the primary election
law has already been referred to the
people for their decision, independent
of all other questions, the Hall

scheek" to assure us that a third
term for La Toilette is necessary to

measure. The signers of that ap-
peal must think the people of Wis
consin a gullible lot to take any
stock in such rot as that.

1t is bad enough for the Republi-
can party to be held responsible for
the autocratic and extravagant ad-
ministration of Gov. La Toilette,
without the party's voluntarily taking
upon Itself the additional burden of
endorsing such an obnoxious regime.
The half-breeds are asking the party
to make too great a sacrifice, and
one that is wholly unnecessary.

If writers for the half-breed press
could be induced to strike lucid
interval and do a little thinking for
themselves they could easily figure
out the fact that the primary cleo
ton law, having already been re-
ferred to the people, must either
stand or fall as the people may de-
eide, without any reference what
ever to the question of who shall be
nominated or elected governor.
