CUMMINGS INSANE?
West Side Man Apparently
Insane.

After having acted queerly for the
last several weeks, Stephen Cummings
became violent Monday evening. and
was taken in charge by the county
authorities, and will be kept in the
county Jail till he can be tried before
Judge Conway for his sanity.
Cummings is married man, with
small family. For the past two
weeks he has been acting queerly,
but no attention was paid to him,
his family thinking he was joking.
But on Monday night he became
violent, and taking her children
away from him, his wife was called in
Justice Brown, who is a neighbor, and
who in turn called Sheriff Little.
Cummings was taken to the county
Jail. He is in a very weak condition,
seemingly is quite i'll, and since
Monday night has been quiet, though
apparently insane. He will probably
be tried before Judge Conway for his
sanity tomorrow, Wednesday,, OF
Thursday.

that the heads of other departments
have south to unload, in the way of
redemption, many Of their outstand-
ing political promises.
AS result, the report is given out
in administration circles, that
Houser refuses to make any ''divvy'
of the Spoils, and means to control
this particular patronage in the
interest of himself, personally. 1t is
further stated that this determinat-
ion on Houser's part has caused
something in the nature of conster-
nation among the inner circle
controlling every place in the state
service.
Coupled with this information is
the apparent fact that Houser is ia
the machine building business
himself, and means to dispose of the
places where he will derive the most
advantage. When Davidson takes
his seat in the executive office, there
will be no political crumbs for him to
distribute. 1t is claimed that a
protest has gone up against what is
said to be Houser'S arbitrary handling
OF the census patronage. and a
council of administration leaders
may be called to ask for division of
the SpOilS.

Special Training for Artisans.

The announcement bulletin for the
fifth annual session of the summer
school for artisans under the
auspices of the college of engineering
calls attention to an important line
of work which the University of
Wisconsin is doing in providing
instruction for large number of men
employed in mechanical and cleo
trical plants, who are unable to avail
themselves Of the regular four year
courses in engineering. The success
of the undertaking during the past
four years has demonstrated beyond
question the practicability of the
artisans course. Since the i1organiz-
alton of the course, the attendance
has more than doubled, and nearly
100 men who are actively engaged
in mechanical and electrical work
took advantage Of the course last
summer. The variety Of occupations
of the workers to whom this training
appeals is well indicated by the
occupations of those who attended
last year, for among them were steam
engineers, pattern makers, armature
winders, erecting machiniStS, re-

LAND OF SULLEN SILENCE.
Where You Ask Your Question To-

The following story is told in the Kan

absolute silence and loneliness OF the
typical Australian bush camp:
Two men were camping together, but
rarely exchanged q word.
One morning one Of the men remarked
at breakfast: Heard q cow below In
the swamp just now"
Nothing further was said and they
went about their business for the rest
of the day. Twenty-four hours later.
once more at breakfast, the second man
said: How do you know it wasn't q

Again no comment. Again pause Of

'Why?"
Because" said his friend, there's
too much argument in this camp!"
Everything there is tremendous, and
just a little terrible; but its strength,
its beauty and its strangeness are things
to seize on the imagination and grip the
heart, even as its political and social
systems are things to compel the ad.
miration and envy Of the world.

HOUSER GIVEN PATRONAGE
Census Work Will Help Ambit-
ions of Secretary of State.

The Madison correspondent to the
Milwaukee Sentinel has the following
to say about the coming census and
the taking Of the same: Patronage
and it's handling has always been one
of the strong points of the present
administration, and when the legis-
lature placed goodly sized clump of
appointments at the disposition of
Secretary of State Walter L. Houser,
it was generally supposed that these
places would be controlled in the
interest of the common cause. 1t
now appears, however, that the
secretary of state has grown some
what wearied of framing out his
places and thus permitting others to
reap benefits, either immediate or
prospective.
The legislature passed a bill per-
hitting the expenditure of S15, 900 by
the secretary of state for labor in
compiling the census and doing other
Incidental work connected with the
gathering of Information concerning.
Wisconsin. This entire amount
practically, will be devoted to the
payment of clerks, and means the
creation of a number of summer jobs
for the faithful. 1t is unoff1cially
announced that Thomas III. Herried,
formerly of the state treasurer
office, is to have charge of the census
force. 1t is also stated that Secretary
Houser is not only oyer run with

A game is being played this after.
noon at the old fair grounds between
the Nekoosa second team and an
organization from Grand Rapids which
styles itself the Rainbow Team. The
game is to decide which of the teams
is to have the distinction of being the
best team from the paper mill towns.
Two games have been played this year
by them, each winning one game.
This one is to play off the tie.
Still more formidable are the names
of two teams that played in this city
last Suns day. The cognomens attached
to these representatives Of the
national sport are the Farnhar Differs
and the Sand Killers. In spite of the
heavy responsibility accompanying
the carrying of such name, the game
was close and interesting one, the
score being to 5. The Differs sue
cceded in doing the most successful
biting, getting the five runs.
Interest in the national sport, base
ball seems to be tagging in Grand
Rapids this year, there being no one
willing to back up and aid IN the
enterprise. Some very good base ball
players have come from Grand Rapids,
and there is material for the making
of some more good players here, if it
was used. So far as we can see, there
is no reason why first class base ball
team could not be here, one that
would do good work. New London,
with half as many people, has a good
team, and they have built this year,
new grand stand and have rented a
field for playing. Waupaca with the
same number of people, have a good
team. Is Grand Rapids, as large as
both these towns, not to have one?
Some one whose name has some pres
tige in the city should take the
matter in hand, and try and get to-
gether team Of the best material in
the city, and arrange for some games.
If the matter was handled properly,
1T would mean a pecuniary gain to
the city as we'll as a prestige in athle-
tics. By all means, let's have team.
