FORTY HUNTERS KILLED.
Terrible Mortality Among the Me,
Who Hunted Biu Game.

vVHO VVuutg0 opS SdUvCs
Milwaukee, Dec. 1.---One hunter was
killed or wounded for every sixty-flve
deer killed In the north woods Of
Wisconsin and northern Michigan In
the hunting season which closed last
night.
Forty-two nimrods were either slain
outright or died from their wounds,
many of them being shot down by the
overzealous hunters who fired at any
thing that moved the brush and un-
dergrowth ahead of them. Twenty 9TH
ers were wounded, many of them SER
ious. and the death total may be
swelled by several additions In the
course of the next fortnight.
With all this sacrifice II life, the
hunting season was not successful
from the standpoint Of game. T. Is es-
timated that not more than 4,oo0 deer
were killed in the twe1ty open days.
This Is one-third ass than the total a
year ago. The falling off is attributed
to the lack of snow in tho woods, which
made 1t impossible to track the deer,
except with dogs, and this Is forbidden
by law.

Washington. Dec. 1.--Solicitor Cen
eral Hoyt Of the department of justice.
made the opening argument for the
government in the case of Senator
Burton. Of Kansas. in the supreme
court of the United States today.

ordinary criminal case and that ques-
tioning OF the jurisdiction Of the court
which tried Burton could not be suc-
cessfully maintained.
Senator Burton, while member of
the United States senate, acted as at
torney for concern which had been
making wrongful use of the mails to

used his influence as a senator to Sc
cure revocation of u fraud order issued

ceived large fees for the same. He

Made Reasonable Utterance.

Washington, Dec. Members Of the
house OF representatives have received
copies Of a circular In the form of a
petition praying for the expulsion from
the house Of representatives Of J. z.

table, no great harm would have been
done the country"
Hefiin explained later that he intend

A WOMAN CORN 4UskER.
Young Lady Near Sioux City Makes !
Good Record.

Young Lady Near Sioux City Makes =
Good Record.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Dec. May Hurstad, a
pretty girl OF Lakeport township,
and husks her seventy-five bushels of
corn every day during the corn husk-
ing season.
Saturday Miss Hurstad, who is
working for Abe Malstad, got out early
and went along at the ordinary gait.
The corn flew into the wagon with
regular thumps. Up against the
throw board the ears of Iowa's best
yellow corn flew with great regularity,
and Miss Hurstad stopped now and
then to take a drink of cold water from
her Jug. When noon came the girl
scooped out an even fifty bushels took
care Of her team and ate hearty din
ner. KS
The afternoon was taken more leis-
urely. It was Saturday, and she did
not care to work hard, as the weeks
work had netted her q neat sum, some-
thing over $11. She husked only a
small load and pulled into the crib
early. The load contained just forty
one bushels, and she had made the
record on the big farm Of Abe Malstad,
where seven men are kept busy bring
ing in the bumper corn crop this year.
The young woman says she does not
try to make record, and does not
have any idea how much corn she
could bring in If she tried. She is
now going to try to bring in 100 bush
els per day this week to show the boys
that she can husk a little corn. at least.
The girl is lady in every respect,
and her corn husking experience this
fall is to give her new strength for
continuing her studies in school. For
two years she has been weak, and has
not been able to complete her studies
In the high school at Sloan. This has
caused her to fall behind her classes
and she resolved to get health and
strength and then enter an academy
where she could finish school with
girls of her own age.

NIssEN's BODY FOUND
Indications That the Navigator Of the
"FooIkiIler" Lost His Life, Altho
His strangs Craft Did Not Sink In
Voyage Across Lake.

Detroit. Dec. IA bulletin to the
Journal from Stcvensville, Mich, seven
miles from st. Joseph, says the body
of Peter Nissen has been found in his
boat on the beach there. Nissen started
to cross Lake Michigan from Chicago
Tuesday in q huge gas bag. which he
claimed would roll across the lake on
surface of the water.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-The relatives and
friends of Peter Nissen gradually arc
bandoning hope that he will live to tell
the tale Of his last Wild roll over the
stormy waters Of Lake Michigan In his
aquatic balloon, "Foolkiller No. g." 9TH
erwise known as the Grasshopper."
1t was not until twenty-four hours
had passed that the voyager's brother
Andrew Nissen, and his emplyer, John
II. Rosberg. 405 West Kinzie street. the
man who was to have received the first
message of his landing, became des-
pondent.
Nothing can kill Pete" said the
brother to inauiring friends.
! From tests made in the summer with
the canvass bag which was to roll its
inventor to the Michigan shore all
knew that the air would only last
twenty-four hours at the longest
stretch and under the most! favoraissg
conditions. After the second or third
hour 1t was pumped in the balloon be-
gan to shrink visibly until 1t finally
collapsed.
"And So" said Nissens brother. in
4 tv,s> fNn,. T11t al Ss, L.,
or dead. There is no possible way he
could have kept his boat afoat longer
than this. He may be cast up on some
lonely shore and unable to reach a tel
egraph station, or he may be i'll.
pete often spoke of his dread of be-
coming exhausted thru seasickness. He
was not a good sailor and the con-
stantly revolving walls Of the bag,
which must ever meet his eye, would
be enough to cause most violent illness.
"The bag never could be made en-
tirell waterproof, and casting about on
those waves it must have been strain
ed. Pete had no means Of exercise, and
If he became i'll could not ever pump
air into the bag. The water dripping
on him as he lay on his couch must
have caused him to suffer severell with
the cold"
That Nlssen feared some calamity
might overtake him was proved by his
calling on the Durham Towing and
Wrecking Company on Monday and
asking them the price Of chartering
tug to accompany him.
At Rosberg's furniture factory.
where Nissen worked, his latest ven-
ture was the sole topic Of discussion.
Groups of workmen gathered in the
little yard where the "grasshopper"
was built, where 1t was often tested
for the benefit of curious friends, and
where it was during the summer
months waiting for a northwest wind.

WALL STREETS CRY
Holders ct Securities Worth s25o,ooo,.
600 More in Preferred Class and
$4,000 600 More in Common Class,
Than Before the Steel Boom Be.

New York Dec 1.-"Something big
in steel" las been dinned into the es-s
of Wall street for weeks. The securi-
ties Of the billion dollar combine have
gone up. by leaps and bounds as q result
and about five hundred million dollars
in paper values has been added to the
wealth of stock and bondholders.
Whatever basis there is for the hope
held out Of q marked Improvement In
the financial condition Of the great
combine, the sentiment of spectators
and investors has been distinctly bull
ish.
The preferred stock has been put up
from around SO to shade below par
and the common from 8A to 32A. OF
each issue there is outstanding about
five hundred million dollars. This
means that holders of these securities
are worth s25O,0O0,O00 more in the
preferred class and $12O,000,000 more
in the common class than they were
before the boom began. The bonds
have scored corresponding advance
$3.50, ,O00 900 to holders of these securi-
ties of which there are about four hun
dred million dollars.
The United States Steel Corporation
probably has a greater number Of
stockholders than any other stock COM
pany in America. 1t was estimated
during the long and steady slump last
year and this spring. which reached its
handed down its decision in the North
depth at the time the supreme court

sixty thousand investors We're suffer-
ing in the squeeze-seeing their saw
ings melt away at the rate of tens OF
millions IL day.
The turn has come, but whether
those who lost in the decline will be
the gamers by this advance is doubt
full. Thousands We're wiped out or sold
their holdings on a declining market,
thinking the securities would never
regain their position after the common
stock dividend was cut from to 2 per
cent.
Much Of the stock relinquished by
these small holders found its way into
the Golfers of the Rockefellers, Morgan
and other heavy operators, who took
advantage of the bargain" prices
prevailing; few months ago, and were
willing to back their confidence in the
future OF the corporation and Of the
industry in which it is the main fac
tor.
In activity and strength steel COM
