CUNNINGHAM AND GAFFRON TO
TOUR THE STATE.
PRELIMINARY WORK DONE
Arrangements Almost Completed Dur
ing Three Days session of Com
mission for Holding Competitive
Examinations in Each Wisconsin
Assembly District.
Madison, Sept. %.

| Steps which mean the immediate
execution of the plans of the legis a.
tors regarding the establishment of a
civil service merit system throughout
the state were taken by the civil
service commission which has been
in session in Madison during the last
three days. Arrangements have been
almost completed for holding examin-
atoms in every assembly district in
| the state.
During the present session OF the
commission, the major part of the
| task of organization, the drawing up
of rules and regulations, was disposed
of. These rules were sent to Cover
nor La Toilette yesterday, and upon
executive approval will be adopted by
the commission.
At the meeting of the commission
it was decided that the members, with
the exception of DR.. S. E. Sparkling,
whose services are required at the
university, should Immediately set
of the character of the emp. Dyes of
the several state penal and charitable
institutions. Waukesha and Waupun
will be visited first. When the tour
Of inspection is over the commission
will meet again and examinations
throughout the state will be lnaugu-
rated. This will not be later than
December 1.
The first employees Of the state who
will be examined will be those en-
gageo in the state institutions and
then those who are working in the
capitol. Those now o-ding posltlol
will only take the nOn-competitive eX-
aminations, but any one else who de-
sires to enter the service of the state
has the privilege of taking the COM
petitive examination which is given at
the same time. Upon meeting the
requirements of the examining board,
these persons will be placed on the
waiting list and upon a vacancy oc-
curing, the three highest on the list
will be submitted for appointment to
the position. Inc appointing power
must select one of the three.
Assemblyman Warner, the author
of the civil service law, has attended
number of the commissions meet
ings and has been able to make many
valuable suggestions to the members,
both as to organization and in ex-
| planning the intent of the legislature.
Those employed by the university
board of regents, who come under the
provisions of the civil service law,
will not be examined until after the
state institution employees have gone
| through their ordeal.
| Chief Examiner F. E. Doty, secre-
| tary of the civil service commission
has been busiiy engaged in making
out sets of questions for the different
departments which come under the
law. These questions will be passed
upon by the commission and then
sent sealed to the local examiners
where they will be opened in the
presence of those taking the examin
atoms. The commission is com
posed of DR.. S. E. Sparkling, Madison
president; T. j. Cunningham, Chip
pewa Falls, and Otto Gaffron, Of Ply

FLORENCE JURIES BAD
People There Do Not Take Kindly to
Protective Statutes and Convictions
Are Hard to Secure-Deputy Gratz
Finds "Butter" Tub Full of Spoiled
Prairie Chickens.
Madison, Sept. %.


Jonas Swenholt, the recently ap-
pointed game warden, is looking close
ly after the deer and other game of
the state. He is placing many depu-
ties in the deer counties, acting upon
numerous advices from reputable
hunters and residents to the effect
that the laws are violated. j. Several
arrests and convictions have recently
occurred and the situation is becom-
ing better.
Florence county is one of the best
counties in the state for game, and
one of the hardest for the wardens to
manage, it being very difficult to Sc
cure convictions for violations of the
laws, as the people there do not gen
orally approve of the protection of
game and there is usually a man on
each jury who will not under any cir
cumstances vote for conviction.
Deputy Gratz of Madison yesterday
found a tub of prairie chickens
labelled butter, shipped from Mime
sofa. The birds were spoiled by the
hot weather A box of fish shipped
illegally from Brentwood was alsJ
taken.
Nonresident small game licenses to
the number of 215 have been issued,
costing $40 each, and 27 of the S25
deer and small game licenses for non
resident hunters. The issue is even
with that of last year at this time.
From Illinois 1876 hunters have secured
small game licenses, and 81 from Min
nesota.
Every Applicant Gets Work.
During the last week there we're
filed at the four free state employmnt
offices, at Milwaukee, Superior, Osh-
kosh and La Crosse, 327 applications
for employment and each applicant
was placed in a satisfactory position.
There were 1872 applications for help,
&c more than there were applications
for employment.
Paying State Fair Premiums.
John M. True, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, is still busy
drawing checks for premiums on ex-
hibits at the state fair, this part of his
work, however, is practically complet-
ed, except for the premiums in the
dairy department.
The next state crop report will be
compiled the middle of next month
and will be the last of the season,
showing the yield of crops, the quality
and condition of the products of the
farms of the state.

furiously when Dicky told of him. Who
could he be? Some Minton manikin
no doubt. Though Mildred had been
strange to him, he knew how she had
grown up there, the light of her fathers
eyes, the stay and comfort Of an III
valid mother They had no business to
keep her there. 1t was that which had
made her 80 silent, so pale and ungirl-
ish instead of beauty as glorious as
delicate
yet they had given her no chance He
had been likewise defrauded How was
he to know that aught so nunlike could
soften and brighten like gray sky at
dawn? Until train time he asked him
self these things and many more over
and over. He meant to have them
answered in part before he got back to
the city. There fate baked him. At
the very last minute Mildred decided to
stay another day. Dicky howled de-
light and triumph when he heard it
and instantly carried her off f.ou,
everybody. Karsens made his adieus
with what grace he might and went
home more than ever dazed.
He did not sleep that night Next

Mrs. Barton was out driving, said the
butler. Miss Gore? He was not sure.
She might be in the grounds. She was
not in her own room or anywhere
about the house.
Wherever she might be, Master Dicky
was with her. Karsens waited to hear
nothing more. He plunged into the
shrubbery, took short cut that led
to the pine grove and came out at the
edge of it GREATNESS, yet content, for

on them and hear the tale of them.
Adventures even put their feet In the
allotted spaces of timbers still stanch.
Thus Dicky had learned the trick. He
had played 1t this morning himself,
then persuaded Mildred to do the same.

coat just below the throat She was
laughing, too, as merrily, as happily, as
Dicky himself-Dicky, who rode at her

had crowned her, after pulling off her
hat and letting down her hair He
scowled at karsens as that gentleman
made to help Mildred down, saying
shrilly: You go way and stay with
your no-goods! She," nodding toward
Mildred, belongs to me- I'm goin to
marry her when I'm grown up. That
will be about Christmas after next"
"Dicky, don't you think it might be
next Christmas?" Mildred asked, her
eyes dancing. 81 hate long engage
ments. They're always dreadfully sor-
rowful, besides being unlucEy." Dicky
looked at her doubtfully.
''How do you know" he asked. "Are
you begaged to the fellow you carry
round in your locket? I saw you kiss
it the other day. Let me see what he
looks like; you know you said you
would"

and swinging him back and forth. Kar-

were, the fine modelling OF wrists and
palms, the whole pose Of grace and
strength. But lie hardly knew that he
did note them-he was so blindly, so fu-
riously jealous Of the fellow In the

to his mother Karsens stood before Mil

really engaged?"

All this in huddle. with fight after
it. Karsens stood staring after the
vanishing figure in scowling daze. He
was angry clean through. If 1t was
fate's decree that he should be thus
bowled over, why had 1t not come to
pass at first? Then he might have had
chance-now, now, when he had
shown himself condescending ass. Of
course she would never look at him,
much less listen. There was also the

The mischief was done all in min
ute. Fate perhaps knew how. Karsens
certainly was all in the dark and as an
cry as he was amazed to find himself
in Cupids tolls. He had got almost
through this house party as through a
hundred others scot free, unburdened
by more than passing memories of
black eyes or gray or blue. Indeed he
had passed up Mildred Gore as impos
/ sible two minutes after he took her in
Ito dinner, regretfully too. 1t was on
many counts so desirable that he
should find in her the woman he
wished to marry
She was his equal in birth, in for
tune, in position; his people approved
her thoroughly; moreover, there had
descended to him burden of obliga-
ton to her blood which 1t was impossi-
BILE that money could discharge. Her
father had come to his fathers rescue
in day of trouble that otherwise must
have ended In disaster, forcing his way
through mob of clamoring depositors
In the elder Karsens' bank, with bags
of gold in either hand and ready
promise of ten times as much at need.
That had stopped the senseless run.
, Men who had been ready to fight for
their money had begged abjectly to
have it kept in the vaults.
This, of course. had been in the days
of proyinciaiism, before Banker Kar-
sens had come to the city to prosper

which he had been hidden to kiss, but
from which he had turned away In dis

pair of pockets and saying grandly,
''I'm man now; don't kiss girls any

Until two hours before they We're to
leave Hidaway, the Barton country
house, he told himself the Gore girl
was out of the question.
His wife must have, above all things
beauty and brilliance. Mildred was
quiet, lumpish even, he thought, con-
tent to play wall flower or happy with
Dicky Barton for company. Dicky was
an infant terrible, aged seven. All the
other girls Stunned him as much as
they dared.

TO HOLD THEIR OWN
MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS MEN
PLAN TO RETAIN THE NORTH
WESTERN TRADE.

Progressive jobbers and manufacture
ers are up in arms and after the Chica-
go dealers who are invading Minneapo-
lis trade preserves; Some time ago a
party of leading Chicago jobbers and
manufacturers representing the Chicago
Chamber of Commerce came thru the
northwest in a special car, and began
to proselyte in Minneapolis territory.
The trade apparently was pleased at re-
ceivirg attention from Chicago and the
visitors succeeded in "butting in' at
a number Of important points.
It is now proposed to start out num-
and begin the work of reclamation.
There is some opposition, however.
Some of the heads of important indus
tries and jobbing houses say that they
cannot get away. Then there is some
reluctance because of the expense. The
Chicago party came thru with every.
thing paid by the Chicago Chamber of
Commerce. Some Of the local men be-
lieve they might be similarly supported
There is no local body, however, to
finance such a tour and in the mean
time the more progressive leaders are
lining up to do it themselves. Several
roads have offered to help the local mer
on part Of the expense.
