PULLED FOR PERJURY.
Mrs. Schafer and Daughter, Mrs. Eph
Morton, Under Arrest.

Had Mrs. Schaefer and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Eph. Morton, sworn to the
same testimony and given like evil
dence in circuit court to that which
they gave in the lower court, W. J..
Duncan would not have been
acquitted on the charge of abortion.
This is not only the opinion of
officials, but Of people in general.
After being examined in circuit
court and announcing openly that
their previous testimony could not
be relied upon Judge Clementson
gave them q side lecture that is said
to have been one not soon for
gotten, and intimated that the
district attorney was neglecting in
his duty did he not bring action
against the pair for perjury.
Dist. Atty. Kopp was in need of
no great incentive to give the
women due justice and accordingly
a complaint was prepared and a
warrant placed in hands of the
sheriff.
Mrs. Schaefer and her daughter,
Mrs. Morton, were arrested Thurs
day on the charge Of perjury. For
reasons known to themselves it was
deemed wise by the officers not to
hold the preliminary examination
in Lancaster and the papers were
made returnable before Justice
Traber of Plattevllle.
The defendants were taken there
yesterday by Sheriff Glenn and
Under Sheriff Calls and the hear
ing came on at noon.
LATER: Mrs. Schaefer and Mrs.
Morton were bound over for trial in
circuit court at the examination at
Platteville and returned here last
evening in custody of the officers.
They waived examination.

Our Glorious State.

It will be remarkable if the new
census fails to show that Wisconsin
has not maintained a substantial
growth. 1t is a noble state, altogether
one of the choicest in the entire
union, healthful, fertile, of varied
industries and leading all rivals in
some gratifying particulars. For in
stance, it is at the head of all states
in the production of butter and
cheese, dairy products alone having
brought to Wisconsin farmers near
ly $50, 1000, 600 in 1903 and probably
more than 100000 in 1904
Figures taken from a late govern
ment report show that Wisconsin,
as an agricultural state, leads all
the states in the northwest. Here
the incomes from the farms are
greater per acre than those of any
other state in this part Of the coun-
try. The excess of income from
Wisconsin farm lands during the
ten-year period over the states in
this group shows that Wisconsin
averages, per acre.
$1.S3 better than North Dakota.
1868 better than South Dakota.
SO. IL better than Nebraska.
$139 better than Kansas.
SIG better than Missouri.
ST. So better than Minnesota.
$1.58 better than Iowa.
IL cents better than Illinois.
1t also has more money per
capita, more people owing their
homes free from incumbrance and
less pauperism than any state in the
group. 1t is grand and growing
commonwealth, Of wonderful agri-
cultural possibilities, of increasing
Importance industrlally, of pro
gressive tendencies in legislation
and-tnat's what rejoices us locally
with a capital whose charm of
site, combined with artistic de-
velopment, easily surpasses all
members of the federal sisterhood.

Circuit Court.

The final jury case was that VS.
Clarence Thomas Of Montfort. He
with young Dale was ordered sent
to the Industrial school at Wau-
kesha, but took an appeal to the
circuit court, and the appeal was
tried. Supt. Hutton of the
school brought young Dale from
Waukesha to appear as witness in
the case. Jurymen not on this case
were discharged from further
service this term. The twelve who
served on this case were as follows:
John STEINER, Henry Gore, James
Davidson, Chas. Kemper, Thoe.
Wehrle, Peter Offerdale, VIM.

Fl. A. Peer, Chas. Decker. Ed
BETTER.
After few hours deliberation
they brought in verdict for the
10y and he will not be obliged to GO
to the reform school provided he
mends his ways. Judge Clementson
gave the lad talk that he will
likely not forget soon.
Dist. Atty. Kopp appeared for
sustaining the commitment and
Lowry & Carthew were attorneys
for the accused.
~
Sherm Streeter was found guilty
Of burglary Tuesday evening, the
jury returning a verdict of guilty
as charged in the complaint after a
few hours of deliberation. The jury
who decided the case was COM
posed of
Michael Marring, B. F. Neeley,
Will Taylor, c. F. Miller, Chas.
Richard, Geo. Hoadley, Benz. Roupp,
W Fl. Morris, John Clemens, J. Fl.
tosbinder, VIM. Wilkinson, j. G.
Keller.
Wednesday morning Streeter was
taken before Judge Clementson and
received his sentence, two years
of hard labor at Waupun with one
day of solitary confinement.
He was taken to the county jail
where he will be incarcerated for q
few days before being taken to
penitentiary. His testimony as a
witness is wanted by the district
attorney in the similar case against
Abe Levins.
Streeter's family will be cared for
at the home of his wife's people,
Nick Schmidt, in the fourth ward.
1t is to be hoped that two years
of confinement will bring his mind
to see the error of his ways and
upon his liberation he will be a
reformed man.

Railroads Stealing Cars.

Exceedingly heavy freight traffic
during the past two weeks has
caused great shortage of cars all
over the country. This naturally
has resulted in a wholesale ''steal-
ing of cars by every road. The
practice commonly known as
stealing" is the retaining of a
foreign car during a shortage and
paying the usual rent for it. The
rent Of course is high but the ability
of line to handle all that is given
it is far more of an object than high
revenue from all sources, and small
gains are more satisfactory now
than big losses resulting from greed
mess during short space. Foreign
cars are in great evidence in the
trains that arrive, remain, and
leave here and lines from the four
corners of the United States and in
termediate districts are represented.
Some that have been noticed dur
ing the past few days are from the
Great Northern, the Union Pacific.
the Texas and Pacific, the Mobile
and Ohio, the Lehigh Valley, the
Pennsylvania and Lake Erie, the
c. N. 0. & T. P. of the Queen and
and Crescent route, the Boston &
Maine, the Lake Shore and Michigan

Chicago and are central in either
Illinois, Iowa or Wisconsin.

TIE Lancaster High School foot
all team in response to a regularly
formed agreement went to Glass;
vile last Saturday to play foot ball;
anticipations ran high among the
players for it was understood that
certain members Of the Cassv1lle
High School football team Though
not students at the high schooD
had made the statement that Glass;
vile was going to play foot-bs II n |
to see a Cassville team play foot
al would be a revelation. The
statement made such an impression
Chat of a joke) that the entire
faculty of the high school went to
see the battle.
They arrived in time for a game
at 1880 as it was stated that the
game was to be played at that time
but for reasons known only to the
management at Cassville the game
was postponed until two o'clock.
At the appointed hour the teams
met and the Cassville team after
stumbling through a few signals
returned to the side lines much re-
freshed by the rest they had in their
work out
Then Captain Green of the Ian.
caster team in order to start the
game began to make the final ar
engagements.
He requested that he be allowed
to name one of the officials for the
game; this was refused on the grounds
that Cassville die not bring an Off
cial to Lancaster two weeks ago
and they could not see how Lam
caster could have failed to make the
same error as they themselves had
made.
On the other hand a former Ian
caster boy who is working in Cass-
vile was allowed to play in Lancas-
ter on account of the injury of
another player. Upon arriving on
the grounds it was found that the
injured player had returned and
Taylor also expected to play; as
soon as kick was registered Jay
with the training he has had in
Bloomington and under Prof. J.
Bray, promptly walked away to
instruct the crowd in the art of
throwing dirt.
Then an inspiration occurred to
him it he could hurt Lancaster from

victory, SO he then made a grand

to play according to his rules, or go
