SHOES FURNISH A CLUE.
Hearing of Wausau Couple Shows That
Ida Gutzmer Wore Margaret
Oils Footwear.

WAUSAU, Wis, Nov. 4.-Evidence so
damaging that it may convict Fred Ohls
and his wife, proprietors of a lying-in
hospital for the murder of Ida Gutz-
mer, the young girl found dead in the
woods near this city, October Is, was
introduced when the two were arraigned
for a hearing.
1t was discovered that the shoes found
on the dead body of the girl were not
those which had ever been worn by her
before and that they were of the same
make as those which had been pur-
chased by Margaret Oils, daughter.
Charles Prochnow, a cobbler, identified
them and said that he had half-soled
them.
The undershirt and underskirt, found
on the girls body were not known to
have been in her effects according to
friends of the girl.
The Ohlses are confined in the county
jail and seem much depressed. Mrs.
Oils has eaten but little and Oils is
evidently trying to appear unconcerned
The feeling against the couple has
grown more intense
So strong is the feeling against them
that the couple have not been able to
secure bail and even the services of an
attorney.

Potatoes Running Ont.

1t is a common idea that the varie-
ties Of potatoes tend to run OUT or be-
come inferior when cultivated long
without change Of seed. A number
OF independent experiments were made
along this line in Germany the past
few years and the conclusion reached
that varieties do not necessarily run
out If proper care is taken in saving
the seed, and if the soil and conditions
are suitable for potatoes It is found
that in favorable localities varieties
have kept their best characteristics for
a long series Of years where the best
seed was saved for planting.

TAKE ON MORE CAPITAL.
Standard Lime and Stone COMPANY In
creases Stock to Meet Construction
Expenses on Oakfeld Plant

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Nov. 4.-[Spe-
cial. of the Standard
Lime and Stone company met at the gen
eral offices in this city Thursday and in
creased their stock of the company from
$4,000 to $4,000. This action was
taken SO as to meet the additional ex-
pense OF the construction of the new
Oaktleld plant. The company has been
operating a plant in Manitowoc county
for several years
w. A. Titus, who was at one time in
terested in the Western Lime and Ce-
ment company of Milwaukee and who
organized the Standard, will continue as
secretary and treasurer and E. II. Lv-

number of local business men have been
added to the list of stockholders.
The grading for the track at Oakfeld
connecting the quarry with the North
Western road is about completed. A
track contract was let last week to the
Austin Manufa cturing company of Au-
rora, ILL.,, for a stone crusher which
will be put in as soon as the rails are

PLATTEVILLE MINES BOOM
Wisconsin Zinc and Lead Fields, How
ever, Show No Signs of Wild
Cat Operations.
Photo by Stein.

PLATTEVILLE, Wis, Nov. A.
Especial. IA visitor to PIatteville, the
center of the zinc mining district in
southwestern Wisconsin, cannot help but
realize the progress in the development
of this industry in that section by the
amount of ore that is weekly shipped
and the activity in the prospecting for
new mines.
One thing that is noticeable is the
absence of any 'wild-cat' mining
schemes.
During the past week the output from
the Empire, Enterprise, Platte, st. Rose
and Phoenix mines aggregated 425 tons,
representing cash value of approx
mately $4,000.
From the present outlook of several
new mines near the city which are now
ready for mills it is safe to assume that
within a year or more the output will
more than double itself from this ship
ping point alone.
The Enterprise mine is installing a
gas machine at its mill with which they
expect to obtain gas from the oil rock,
which is found in large quantities in the
mines. Experiments and tests of oil
from different mines show results of as
high as fifty gallons of oil to a ton of
rock. Should this prove success it
means considerable to the district.
The Platte Mining company has dis
covered q heavy run of ore under its
present workings, which will largely in
crease their output. The Hibernia and
Great Northern mines continue to look
better as the drifting is pushed forward.
The new mill at the Wicklow is about
completed.
The Acme Mining company has proved
It's land to such an extent that it has
decided to sink a shaft and commence
operations.

Husking Corn.


BY far the most serious task in rails
lhs corn IS the matter Of husking it I'M
the held. Up to date no practical ma
chlne adapted to this purpose has ap-.
peared. Many have been tried. but
they usually fall short in some import:
ant particular. None of them has bel
come popular, and fortune awaits
the man who perfects thoroughly
practical corn husker, which will be
as successful relatively as the modern
husker is for corn fodder, says Orange
Judd Farmer. When corn Is to be
husked direct from the standing corn.
1t should be allowed to mature quite
thoroughly, particularly if it is of a
variety with large ears and large cob,
containing a high percentage of mois-
ture. This must be determined by ex-
animation. Some seasons husking be-
gins the latter part of September,
While IN others it is not safe to begin,
husk1ng until the middle or end of Oc-!
tober. The time will also depend:
largely upon the variety. Early maj
turing kinds have small cobs, and they
can be husked much earlier than late
maturing and large-ear varieties Corn
when first placed In the crib contains.
IL to 80 or 40 per cent of moisture. A,
common practice in the great corn
States is to start through the field
marking down" row. Husk two;
rows to the left of the wagon and the
one row that Is under it, Go around q.
good-sized land in this manner. The
next time through the field and every,
succeeding time thereafter have the
team straddle the last husked row
next the corn that has not been
husked. This will prevent the neces-
s1ty Of picking up down row each
time, and will enable the husker to do
his work. The ordinary wagon box
Will hold from twenty-five to thirty
bushels. When the corn is exception
ally good, skillful husker will be able
to more than fill one wagon box in
half a day. The capacity of a box
may be increased by putting on adGi-
tlonal s1deboards. On the right side Of
the wagon box it is desirable TO Mace
one or two extra boards to act as
bump boards. The husker will NOT
need to use so much care in throwing
IN MS work. A good husker so gauges
the distance from the row in the wag-
on box that it is not necessary for him
to look where he throws his ear.
