The coming young man, not satisfied
with any OF the fields of industry left
open to him, should break into forestry.
The bureau OF forestry announces that
it has places for good many more than
it can supply. One for trained forester
at $1,000 year; two for assistant forest
ers at $1,000, both in California; an as
sistant forester at $500 in Wisconsin;
man to take charge of state reserve in
Indiana, and trained forester at Wash
ington at $500. Private timber owners
and corporations with extensive forests
are seeking expert men. The bureau of
forestry has allowed seven men from it's
own force to go during the last twelve
months to private owners, and four have
taken public positions

Duties Relative to Infectious Diseases.

Under chapter 1872 of the laws of 1905
an act prescribing the duties of physi-
clans and others relative to infectious
diseases brings out some interesting facts
relative to consumption that has per-
haps not before been fully noted or un-
derstood. Sections one, two and three
of the law merely refer to the treatment
OF contagious diseases relative to Motif
cation Of the fact that the disease ex-
lists. The remaining sections deal en-
tirely with tuberculosis and are reprint
ed SO that their meaning may be made
clear to everyone:
Section T. It shall be the duty of
every physician or person, or owner,
agent, manager, principal or superinten-
dent of each and every public or private
institution or dispensary, hotel, board
ing or lodging house, in any such city,
to report to the department of health
thereof, in writing, or to cause such re-
port to be made by some proper and
competent person, the name, age, sex.
occupation and latest addresses of every
person afflicted with tuberculosis, who is
in their care, or who has come under
their observation, within one week of
such time.
It shall be the duty of every person
sick with the disease, and of every per-
son in attendance upon any one sick
with this disease, and OF the authorities
OF public or private institutions or dis
pensaries, to observe and enforce all the
sanitary rules and regulations of such
health department for preventing the
spread of pulmonary tuberculosis
Section 5. In case of the vacation OF
any apartment or premises by death
from tuberculosis, or by the removal
therefrom of person or persons sick
with tuberculosis, it shall be the duty of
the person or physician in charge, to

such city, aforesaid, of said removal,
within twenty four (24) hours thereafter,
and such apartments or premises so va

Silver bass have returned to the Rock
river. For almost twenty years these
fish have been found only occasionally
and have never been caught in large
numbers. Ia the olden days they
swarmed in the stream. No reason is
assigned for their departure, because
they were not shed out, and no one
knows why they have returned. The
fish commission has not been stocking
the river with this kind Of fish, 90 far as
can be learned. The only explanation IS
that they have come down from the
lakes. Men who have been at Lake
Waubesa say that the bluegills swarm
in the lake this year; whereas in the two
preceding years they we're hardly to be
found. This migration of the finny tribe
is inexplicable to the ordinary fisherman,
though the fish commission may have
discovered the reason.

THE old cry, 'Are official salaries large
enough?" is raised again. When men of
the calibre OF Secretary Root will go into
the Presidents cabinet for salary of
$4,000 year, what is to be gained by
raising the salaries of federal officials?
1t is said that Root was making 100000

crime until parties went to the house
several times to investigate.
Immediately after nring the fatal
shot Gregory appeared at the home of
his brother about three miles from
town He aroused his brother. told
him what had happened and asked
him to let him into the house, but was
refused on account of having a piston
IN his hands. His brother succeeded
in getting the pistol and brought the
unfortunate man before Esquire Rog-
ers, who committed him to Jail.
The next morning he was visited at
the jail, and in answer to many cues
tons asked him he said he did no,
know why he killed his wife. He pre-
sented pit.able appearance and had
every appearance of being crazy. One
phrase of his insanity was he was very
jealous of his wife without any cause
whatever. He has always borne a
good character, and those who knew
h m best say there is no doubt about
his being insane.
