Hunting Restricted.

Hereafter those who take their guns
and GO out hunting will have to secure
the consent of land owners before they
can chase the game here and there. Al
amendment to the game law provides
that no one is allowed to hunt in en-
closed fields without the consent of the
owner Or tenant. The purpose of the
law is to protect COWS, many of which
have been killed in past years by care
less hunters. Then, too, the farmer will
have protection against those who insist
upon turning their pastures and fields
into hunting grounds. Besides prohibit
ing persons from entering into pastures.
1t reads as follows:
amy person who shall enter into any
growing or standing grain not his own
with firearms or permit his dog to enter
into any such grain without the permits
sion OF the owner Or occupant, the land
on which the grain is situated, or any
person who shall, without permission of
the owner, hunt or shoot on the prem

Eddie Fay, king of postoffice burglars,
has returned to Chicago, it is said, and
the postal authorities are at their wits
ends to lay hands on him for stealing
$4,000 from the postoffice at West Su-
perior, Wis, last year. Col. Stuart, post
office inspector, received a tip that a
police official on the South side has in
formation that the elusive criminal is
under cover at the home of Halstead
street saloonkeeper, and every trick
with which the government secret SER
vice men are acquainted is being used to
locate Fay and put him in prison from
which he cannot escape.
Fay escaped a year ago last August
from a steel cage which stood in the
middle of cell in the county jail at
GAINESVILLE. He had made boast to the
federal police that he would escape and
that sooner Or later he would kill his
Nemesis. Col. Stuart, if he had to wait a
lifetime for an opportunity. He is a
slippery fellow and makes no secret of
his plans to continue the looting of post
offices as long as he is at liberty.-Janes-

Ole X. Roe Stricken.

O. X. Roe was brought home Wednes-
day on an early train from Madison in a
helpless condition, having sustained a
stroke of paralysis which affected his
right side. Mr.. Roe went to Rice Lake,
Wis, on Monday evening to transact
some business and was on his way home
when taken i'll. His condition was no.
ticed by the conductor on the North
western passenger train as it was pulling
out of Baraboo and as the ticket had
been purchased to Madison Mr.. Roe was
taken on to that city and carried into
the waiting room where he was later
identified and brought to Stoughtcn,
reaching that station at 6:45. DR.. Noer
was summoned and he believes that the
patient will again be about if nothing
further develops, although at present
unable to articulate sufficiently to be
understood. He was conscious on his
arrival and when last heard from he was
sleeping. Mr.. Roe was a member of the
lower house of the legislature and for a
number of years mayor of Stoughton.
He is prominent tobacco dealer; has
warehouses at Stoughton, Deerfield, De-
Forest and Soldiers Grove, and it is un-
derstood that he is member of the firm
of Rosenwald Bros & Co., New York leaf
dealers. -Stough Cor. in State Jour

Sugar Beet Harvest Soon.

The harvest Of the sugar beet crop
will soon be on now, as the factories are
arranging to take certain portion of
the crop in October. The general i'm
preston is that the crop will not yield as
we'll in this portion of the state as the
past two seasons, partially due to the in
ability of growers to keep their fields
free of weeds. The season has been so
wet that it has been continual fight
from start to finish to keep down the
weeds, and unless the farmer was all the
time looking after the cultivation their
fields became swamped with growth Of
weeds that most certainly will cut down
the yield. In talking with beet grow
er the other day, he informed US that
this season has been the most expensive
one in cultivation yet seen, for the rea
son just given. Beets on any other land
but old tobacco fields have been a hard
proposition this year and his crop will
cost him more to raise than any tobacco
crop ever produced on his farm. He is
of the opinion that the average Eeet
crop requires more labor than tobacco,
year by year. If our informant is right
about it, then there is another reason
why the beet factories want to locate in
tobacco growing territory. 1t seems alb
solutely essential to grow beets on soil
previously prepared for them by good
tillage and strong fertilization.

StOughtOn State Bank Trouble.

The trouble which Robe Dow and the
Stoughton State bank has had with the
state bank examiner eliminated Friday
when Examiner Bergh made application
to the circuit court for the appointment
of a receiver for the institution. By
agreement, however, to hold the suit in
allegiance the bank was turned over to
the bank commissioner who will retain
possession until the affairs of the institu-
ton are in such shape that he can safely
turn them over to the owners.
q. In his complaint the state banking
commissioner alleges that the bank has
$4,000 of poor or worthless assets. 1t
holds real estate in Stoughton and North
Dakota, which is not necessary for it's
banking business, to the amount of
about $4,000. The worthless assets ex-
coed the capital and surplus by at least
$4,000, the banking commissioner alleges.
One reason given for the present en-
barrassment of the bank is said to be
that it did not maintain sufficient mar
gin between the interest it paid on de-
post and that charged on loans. It paid
4 per cent. interest on deposits, while
other banks in the country pay only
per cent.
When the news became public there
was slight run on the bank Saturday,
but no great amount was withdrawn.
The deposit certificates requiring 30
days notice before payment, proves of
considerable advantage, as large
amount of money can thereby be grad
ually paid without greatly Inconvenience
ing the institution.
Saturday morning Milo Hogan, depu-
ty examiner, took possession and the
bank will be temporarily closed. La a
dispatch from Stoughton on Monday,
Mr.. Dow is reported as saying: Il will
pay every debt out of my own pocket if
necessary. No one will lose cent The
bank was open but no business was
transacted. People who come and go
are given the personal word of Mr.. Dow
that he will be personally liable for any
Indebtedness on the part of the bank. 1t
is believed that the affairs of the bank
can be easily adjusted.
Very few people, if any at all, in
Stoughton desire the bank closed. 1t is
generally conceded that the community
would suffer loss as the confidence of the
public in local banks would be impaired.
Most of those holding Stoughton State
bank certificates do not seem worried
and believe that nothing will be lost,
whether or not it is permitted to con-
tlnue doing business.

National Organizers Beattie of Tele-

National Organizers Beattie of Tele-
 sraphers Here to Form a Branch.
 W. W. Beattie of Washington, D. C., who is the national organizer of the Commercial Photographers union of America. has come to this city for the r,urpose of organizing the telegraphers nf this vicinity into a local branch of the national organization. At present there is no local of this union in Con- necttcut, although there are a few members at large scattered throughout the state. There are about twenty-five or thirty telegraphers ill this city, and the local will include telegraphers from Bridgeport, Waterbury, and other cities of the state.
 MT. Beattie met 8 number of the local telegraphers last evening, and plans were laid for the organization of the local. The response of the telegraphers was so satisfactory that MT. Beattie expresses himself as being very confi- dent of getting a strong local division under way at his next visit, which will probably be some time next week, al- though he says it generally requires about three visits to effect his purpose. MT Beattie plans to spend some time in Bridgeport and Waterbury and then to return to this city. .5'+
 Although MT. Beattie's meeting with the talsgraphers last evening was very

 The Commercial Photographers union has had a very successful record. AL though young organization it already has on it's rolls over 16.0OO of the tele- graphers Of the country. The national headquarters of the organization is in Chicago, but Mir. Beattie. has his head quarters in Washington
 When interviewed on the subject of a possible strike MT. Beattie stated that his visit to this city was absolute ly uneonnected with any such matter. He said that there were no probabili- ties of any strike.
 The telegraphers, he said, were an in- telligent lot of me nand were averse to adopting such drastic and troublesome methods of gaining their point in the event of dispute.

REVOLUTION IN OYSTER INDUS
 TRY.

 Remarkable Development of the Indus
 try in this State During Past Thirty
 Years.
 The recent long continued cold weather has brought prominently for ward the remarkable development of the oyster industry in the state of Con necticut during the past thirty years.
 In 1870 great quantities of oysters were brought to New Haven from Ma ryland and Virginia, and as far back as 1860 there were as many as fifty good sized schooners in the Quinnipiac river at one time unloading and wait ing turn to be unloaded. Connecticut was then a great importing state for oysters This state now, instead of be- ing an importing state, exports vast quantities, not only by the cargo to New York, Rhode Island and Massa- chusetts, but opened in New Haven and other Connecticut points, they are sent throughout the northern United States and Canada, great quantities going as far west as Kansas City, St. Louis and Omaha, as well as Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and other cen tral points. This business brings mil lions of dollars yearly into Conneeti- cut. @3
 This great change has been brought about by the enterprise of the Con. necticut growers, and during the re, cent severe cold weather, instead of re- ceiving oysters from Baltimore and other southern points. our shippers have been appealed to for oyster by the Baltimore shippers, the powerful ice breaking steamers employed here, and the great facilities of our oyster growers enabling them to furnish oys- ters when the sailing vessels of the Chesapeake bay are helpless in the ice foes. T.e
 One day this week H. c. Rowe and Co. received five telegrams from Bal timore concerning supplies. They have been able to keep supplied by reason of their powerful steamers although meeting with various accidents in the way of broken wheels, rudders and ma chinery. which of course must be ex-

BEAUTY IN HER ELBOW.

a 7 I 7 ' -g Most Striking Item in Miss Prentice's
 List Of Charms.
 Women become famous for various charms-eyes mouths, noses, fore heads, chins. hands and feet. It re- mains for Miss Arieeta Prentice to go on record as having her chief claim to loveliness in-her elbow. Not that Miss Prentice isn't a beauty in many other respects. But the most strlk- ing item in the way bill Cupid gave her for her journey through life is that exquisitely dimpled joint, It may not be knowll--so many things aren't known that ought to be, and the re verse -that a perfect elbow is rarer than any other specification of the form divine. Any artist who paints women will corroborate that. Even the knee, hard as 1t Is for painters and sculptors to find 1t In perfection, Is not so uncommon a point # beauty as the elbow. Miss Prentice's arm hinge has the roundness poets ascrihe to lamen- tably far-away goddnesses It Is the elbow of drayad, r11olded ilto soft curves by graceful reaching for forest boughs and woodland vines. Her friends say it is impossible to decide whether it is lovelier In summers tan or in the melting snow as 1t shows when it's fortunate possessor dances lfghtly through the winter in ballroom attire
 A beautiful arm is not 50 raj (, though rare enough in all conscience as the truthful observer in Opera House or Peacock Alley must admit. One woman there is whose glorious arms even have moved to open ad- rniration no less a crit, than an- other woman She Is Mrs Van Renssa- laer Cruger, the Julian Gordan of con- temporaneous literature the charm ing widow of one of old New York S most popular cluhmert. Her name all ways is of interest to Manhattanites, but reference to it's particularly tilne- " today. in view of Senstc- Clark $ arrival with his bride of three years in fact and two in secret. Mrs Cruger was believed to be the copper kings be- trothed at time when neither she nor society knew he had already taken a second wife. That was after the per sistent rumor of his engagement to Mrs Mary c, Audenreid,. Writing then of Mrs Cruger's arms, Mrs N. F. WI Sherwood saids Most noble are those fine arms. and the hands are large and well shaped, with each tapered finger going off into pink. as if it had just crushed itself into a strawberry.
