THE BUSTER STILL AWAY.

Col Harry Skinner, about whom
story comes from Washington TO the
effect that he has been summoned
by the administration and given spe-
cilic instructions in the gentle art of

being i'm his case the American To-
bacco Company. has not yet returned
To the city, although he was expect
cd TO return yesterday. Inquiry ut
the Marlboro House brought the in
formation last night. however that
he was still away, presumably learn
ing the latest brands of quirts, cinchs,
spurs and curbs.
The story has a virile tone, but il
is scarcely fit TO make a breeze in the
scrap factories. Even if II RepuhI-
can administration should 50 far for
get itself as to determine to go back
on its good friends, the members of
the "A. r." it would scarcely select
so genial, not TO say dainty, a person
as the district attorney TO do the cow
DO work Col. Skinner is a man OF
Il mild and gentle dignity. He is at
peace with the world and the trusts.
There was time when the colonel
spoke i'm harsh and vibrant tones to
the horny handed, when lacking the
Whiskers of his faith he made up the
defect in tones of blood in pOpulist
conventions Those times have pass
in smooth and soft-spoken company.
His hands are white, his face an all
consuming smile He is prosperity

may not always know his drift even
for the asking. Sometimes he has been

But this story of tobacco is too much
1t is dirty work, such as not even an
administration thrsting for gore
would expect TO have performed in
his quarter. Republicans know their
friends, and even when one sees the
snickersee one suspects a duel of the
stage. The President is man OF
"B-blud" perhaps. but scarcely of a
sort to poke the fires of the Tobacco
Trust. The story about Col. Skinner
and the administration is as definite
as the despairing cry of the Old poet

Nacogdoches Tex. Jan. LITTLE
Indictment returned in Nacogdoches
county against Miss Webb and Charles
f. Taylor last September has been
kept quiet in the hope that one or
both would return to Texas.
The specific charge of swindllng
grows out of a saction in which
the pair, it is alleged, borrowed $4,000
from the president of the Commercial
National Bank, they having made al
legged false representations and having
alleged false recommendations. No
effort has been made to secure the re-
turn of either of them to Texas, but
District Attorney Imboden says that
he is willing TO cooperate with the
New York authorities if they desire
to send Miss Webb back to stand trial.

lowIanders from the profound Scot
land swarmed on the capital, and the
battle was Waged relentlessly, and
Hector Mclean was always thickest
in the fray. Finally he won his coun-
ty returning the last time the proud
and honored representative from Scot
land county. ut somehow he was
never as happy after the fracas as he
was before, and declined to come back
in 1908. He thought perhaps he
would find the Senate more suited to
his taste, and so came up this session
as Senator from his district.
But until yesterday he had been
complaining of loneliness. He said
only night before last that he felt
restless in the clammy atmosphere of
the Senate. That they We're mighty
good fellows over there and a'that and
a'that but they We're leetle too stiff
for him, and sorter chilly, and if he

at Milwaukee Sept. II IL, opening on
Monday, and closing the following Sat

the greatest fair ever held in the state

culture has been exerting its utmost
efforts TO make the fair of 1908 superior
to any fair that has been held, and with
the strong list of attractions, they have
reason to believe that all previous fairs
In this state or in this part of the
country will be excelled.
The racing purses are larger than
ever, aggregating S2S, 900, ard includ-
ing two purses of - 900 each and two
Of -, 800 each. Many improvements are
being made to the grounds, including
Judging amphitheater, which is to be
used in the day time for stock Judging
events and in the evening for entertain
ment features. The building will be
formally dedicated on the opening day
of the fair Besides the educational
features Of the fair, which will be
greater in number and more complete
than ever before, there will be great
variety Of entertainment features, all of
which have been secured at large
expense, and with the greatest possible
care In fact the Wisconsin State Fair
this year will be one of the most i'm

A SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE.

About l30 teachers are in attendance
at the institute that is being held ut the
North Side high school The session
opened Monday morning and will close
to morrow afternoon. The institute is
in charge of Prof f. A. Lowell of Rhine
lander assisted by Prin. A. A. Thomson
of Two Rivers, Prin. Christensen of the
local teachers training school and Supt.
Larson.
Among the subjects taken mp in the
several classes organized on the opening
day of the institute are literary reading,
geography language, agriculture read
ing, and algebra. The work, of course,
is chiefly professional pedagogical
and inspirational, rather than academic,
in character.
The institute has been very successful
a fact due to the high grade character
of the instruction, the interest all
teachers in attendance take in the work
and, above all the inspiration that in
variably pervades the atmosphere of
such a gathering Of professional people
when instructors are thoroughly en-
rappoH with willing intelligent learners.
