Wisconsin Land Scheme.

milwaukee. Dec. 2S-Wisconsin's le-
gal machinery for years has been With
out the cog known as the grand jury.
This is found much more satisfactory
than the old plan Of calling grand
Jury regularly to investigate COM
plants.
Under the present system anyone can
appear before the district attorney, and
if his evidence is deemed sufficient
warrant is Issued. In Milwaukee coun-
ty warrants, except in important cases,
are issued by the clerk Of the municipal
court. If the complainant is not salts
fed he can appeal to the district at
torney and that official may have the
warrant issued.
Grand juries can be called but this
is done under special order OF the
court. and has been done in Milwaukee
only a few times in the past quarter OF
4 century, and seldom is resorted to IN
this country 1t is used only in cases
fraught with much Importance to the
public, such as the recent boodling
cases where the witnesses are more
likely to give testimony. In ordinary
cases it is believed better to have the
complaining witness shoulder the re-
sponsibility, and thus prevent unjust or
frivolous charges.

day at the crossing about two miles

E. Meyer was dangerously if not fatal
ly hurt by being struck by the engine
Of the Firefly. Mr.. Meyer and his wife
were together in buggy enroute to
the home of Ed. Jackson, where they
were invited to take dinner. The
train was coming down grade at a
lively clip and Meyer made an effort
to cross the track. Seeing that a coll
lision was inevitable both Mr.. and Mrs.
Meyer tried to get out of the buggy,
but only Mr.. Meyer got out, and just
in time to be struck by the pilot of the
engine and was thrown across the
right Of way against the fence. The
frightened team ran away and threw
Mrs. Meyer out Of the buggy. Engineer
Repps stopped the train and brought
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer to the city, where
the injured man was given medical at
tention. Mrs. Meyer, tho considerably
shaken UP, is able to be at the bedside
of her husband, who, since the acci-
dent has been in a semi conscious con-
dition. His arm is broken and he has
received severe bruises about the head
and chest The injured man is one Of
our wealthy farmers, living about five
miles west of Washington.

SHOT AS FESTIVITIES BEGIN.
Youth Fires Bullet Into Lad With Old
Gun at Washinaton.

Washington, Ia, Dec. 28.--Ralph ia
cobs a 6-year-old boy, was shot in
the abdomen by a companion, Bert
Miller, at the Henry Miller home in
South Washington Monday during
Christmas festivities. The Christmas
tree had been prepared while the chill
dren, all except the Miller boy, had been
sent upstairs and when everything
was in readiness he was sent to call
the other children down. When he
went upstairs he found the Jacobs
boy playing with little old rifle he
had found up there. The Miller boy
took the gun and started to put it
away, when young Jacobs said, ban
teringly: you dare not snap it at
me-" Miller brought the gun to his
shoulder, aimed it at young Jacobs and
when he snapped it a report followed
and the Jacobs boy fell to the floor.
The physicians who We're summoned
found that a 22-calibre bullet had en-
tered the boys body to the right of
the spine, just below the ribs. The
child has not suffered severe pain since
the accident, but it is of the nature
of wounds the severity of which can
not be definitely determined perhaps
for days.

MUST LABEL CANNED GOODS.
ArtificiaIIy coIored Products Must be
So Qesiunated.

ArtificiaIIy CoIored Products Must be
So Designated.
washington, Dec. 28.--Hereafter all
canned goods which have been ',olored
artifcially must be SO marked. When
canned peas are filled with copper or
when antline dye is used to make cher
ries or Strawberries a brilliant red, the
fact must be marked in plain type on
the can. This order was issued by DR..
Harvard Wiley, chief of the bureau OF
the chemistry department of agricui-
ture, in a bulletin recently sent out.
The department has decided that sui
phate of copper when used continually
in canned goods is injurious to health,
and if the people are satisfied to eot
food of this character 1t Is no more
than right that they should be 1ndoran-
ed of what they are doing.
An officer of the department. yesuer-
day said: "There is not enough OF the
irritant in one can of peas or such
vegetables to do much harm out uhe
harm will come if the peas are eaten
day after day. Investigations nave
proven conclusively.'
DR.. Wiley has also sent out a outle :,
tin announcing that hereafter all
goods packed in any other OIL uhan
olive must be so marked.
