SENATOR NOBLE REFUSES.
Wouldn't Vote for Confirmation of Board
of Control Appointments Because
of Burgess Case.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 15.-[Special.l
DR.. J. II. Noble, senator from Eau
Claire, today refused to vote for the con-
frmation of Gustav Kuesterman and
Herman Grotophorst as members of the
state board of control, which names were
submitted with A. D. Conover, Lester
B. Dressler and Alma J. Frisbee to the
Senate by Gov. La Toilette because
these were legislated out Of Office last
winter. He is indignant at his failure
to secure an investigation of a charge
preferred by him that Edward Burgess.
a lad of IS years, is confined to the
Home for the Feeble Minded at Chippe-
wa Falls unlawfully.
The boy was sent to the reform school
at Waukesha four years ago, DR.. Noble
says, and transferred to the feeble mind
ed home by the board of control. Last
summer he escaped and worked on
farm for several months, apparently in
the best of mental condition.
The board declined to consider his
case at all until the boy was returned
to the institution, says DR.. Noble Then
they kept him there against the wishes
Of the boys parents and have abused
him, he further asserted.
A. D. Conover. member of the board.
claims that it is simply a dispute be-
tween doctors; DR.. Noble believes that it
would be safe to allow the boy to go at
large, while Dr. Wilmarth, the super
intendent of the Chippewa Falls home,
believes otherwise.

GUNS STOP POACHERS.
Wisconsin Game Wardens Rout Out Min
nesota Fishermen, but None Are
Hurt

LA CROSSE, Wis, Dec. ISL Special !
-Inroads of Minnesota fishermen along
the Mississippi where it forms the
boundary with Minnesota are about to
be broken UP by Wisconsin game wal
dens.
The first attempt to enforce the Wis
consln game laws against the Minnesota
poachers has resulted in running fight
between posse of game wardens, head
ed by Deputy Warden Kingsley of La
Crosse and Deputy Warden Immell of
Trempealeau county, and a large party
of fishermen, the affair occurring in Buff
falo county, on the Wisconsin shore,
above Winona.
A numDeI. OF shots were fred, but all
Of the game wardens escaped unscathed
and so far as known none of the fisher,
men was hit. A large quantity Of nets,
spears, duck coats, fish and sleds was
captured and confscated by the wardens.
The Minnesota fishermen consider it a
time honored privilege to fish in the
sloughs on the Wisconsin shore, which
for miles in this vicinity run out from
the river and abound in fish and game.
The Minnesota shore consists Of a series
of high bluffs with no sloughS and conse-
quently the fishermen must cross over to
make a successful catch.
The cutting off of the privilege of fish
ing in Wisconsin during the closed sea-
son jeopardizes their means of livelihood
and the pOachers are becoming ugly.

Is Disease a Crime :?

Not very long ago, q popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind Is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable Individual as radically
wrong.
It would be harsh, unsympathetfc,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing of children. with it's ex-

REAL BUcKING ERoNcHos.

The outlaw horse. for years past the
hero of broncho-busting in the south and
west, is rapidly becoming q thing of the
past, and IN ten years will be more
scarce than the fast-dying buffalo and
the old-time cowboy, according to John
NJ. Kuykendall, who makes a speciality
of collecting the widest horses that can
be procured for bucking contests.

plentiful as jack rabbits" said Mr.

Nearly any horse will buck" he do

You rarely hear of a famous bucker
now, although ten or twelve years ago
every large range had several outlaws
that nobody could ride. The cowboys
can ride as we'll as the old-time cowboys
and they are not degenerating. The
breed of horses throughout the country
is improving steadily and this is the

INDIAN MORTALITY
ON BIG INCREASE.
MARTNETTE COUNTY ONEIDAS
HAVE LOST MANY IN
LAST YEAR.
Twenty Die to 1000, but 100 Births to
1000 Show No Signs Of Race
Suicide.

MARINETTE, Wis, Dec. 1G.-[Spe-
cial. THE mortality among the Indians
of Oneida reservation is double that of
the whites in Marinette county. While
there are a number of Indians on the
reservation who are in the SOS and still
robust, the younger generation does not
appear to have the physique of the past
generations. Scrofulous disease works
havoc in the tribe and is largely respon-
sible for it's physical downfall.
Up to 1902 it was impossible to keep
track of the births and deaths on the
reservation and only those were recorded
that were heard of, but during the past
three years an effort has been made to
have all cases reported. The figures
show that during the past year there
have been forty deaths among the In
dams. AS the total population on the
reservation is about 1000, it shows a
death rate of twenty to each 1000.
There were 100 births on the reservation
the past year. There are now two In
dian physicians on the reservation.

IMPOUNDED COW AND

WauSaukee Lads Cut Down Shade Trees
of Poundmaster and Get Six
Months.

WAUSAUKEE. Wis. Dec. 49,
Especial. Because Poundmaster Chas.
Munger recently impounded Frank La
schappelle's COW, Victor and Joseph
Laschappelle, the sons, avenged the act
by cutting down twelve shade trees in
front of Munger's residence.
Munger soon discovered the guilty
ones and swore out warrants for their
arrest.
Joseph Laschappelle pleaded guilty to
the charge. He tried to exonerate his
brother by claiming that he alone had
cut down the trees He was given the
choice of paying fine of 800 and the
costs of the case or taking up His abode
at the county jail for six months. He
chose the latter.
Joseph's story that he alone was re-
sponsible for the destruction of the trees
would not down and he was tried before
Justice Melchior in the afternoon. He
was found guilty and the court fined him
500. Neither of the lads could raise
the money and Marshal Durfee took
them to the county jail at Marinette.

IS IT SOCIETY THIEF I?
Marshfeld Agitated Over Repeated
Thefts by Supposed Klepto-
maniac,

MARSHFIELD. Wis, Dec. 16.-So-
ciety people are considerably agitated
over repeated thefts at teas, luncheons
and dancing parties held here within
the past six weeks.
With but one exception the thefts
have been made at luncheons or teas
where no men We're in attendance and
for this reason suspicion points to a fe-
male. The male population, therefore,
exhibits no little qualification in the fact
that they can prove an alibi.
Articles found missing after the
guests depart consist of silver knives
and forks. fancy centerpieces, shawls,
etc, and Notwithstanding the close scru-
tiny that is being kept, the light-tingered
one has so cleverly worked her cards in
society's circles that no one feels in
clined to make public any suspicious
entertained as to the identity.
The exposure of the guilty one may
fathom the larger thefts that have been
recently made in different Marshtield
houses. when jewelry, savings banks,
etc, have been stolen, the whole aggre-
eating several hundred dollars.

aLl-George c. Sherman, responsible
for the settlement in Wisconsin of thou
sands of thrifty and frugal Scandina-
vians and Norwegians, returned to APP
pleton today, having completed his 131st
trip from America to Norway, Sweden,
Russia and England. He tells harrow
ing tales concerning the massacr and
rebellions in Russia.
L was in HeIsingfors during the ter
ribIe massacre of Jews. Human life for
some days was worth only the effort to
end its existence" said Mr.. Sherman
today. Il saw no less than two dozen
Jews killed in the streets while l was
there and it was reported that upwards
of 500 had been murdered in that vi
cinity during my brief stay IN the city.
People in Russia are of the opinion
that the Gar and his family are at st.
Petersburg or Peterhoff, but [ know posi-
lively that they are not there. The
Gar and has family left fully five weeks
ago for Copenhagen and they have been
there since.
