HUSBANDS FOR HoMEsTEADERs.
City Of RhineIander Enters Upon a
Unique Campaign

RHINELANDER, Wis, April 2S.-
This prosperous little city will be the
scene of great matrimonial activity
this spring and summer. In the last
few years several hundred women have
homesteaded lands adjacent to the city.
The majority of them are young and
fair to look upon, but by reason of the
isolation in their forest homes have no
means of meeting representatives of
the opposite sex.
The city and county have taken up
the matter of encouraging matrimony
among the homesteaders, and many
inducements will be held out to worthy
men to join these lonely but prosperous
women in wedlock.
Clergymen have agreed to tie the
martial knot free, and leading business
men will give valuable presents to
every couple.
July has been selected as the red
letter matrimonial day. Plans are be-
ing formed for 100 marriages in the
city park, and $25 in cash will be pre-
sented to each couple as soon as the
ceremony is performed.
Officials of the city and county hope
to obtain a supply of eligible single
men from the twin cities and the rural
districts of Minnesota.

being surly and drunken, and living In

lived in the kitchen. AS he had threat
ened to kill his children, the young man
finally decided to kill him.
There had been no quarrel at the
time the shooting occurred, and the

LiEscH Is FOUND GUILTY.
Editor Fined $50 or Sixty Days in jail
for Contempt in Koch Case

MANKATO, Mimi, April 28.-Philip
Liesch, proprietor of the Brown Coun-
ty Journal of New Ulm, has been cop
victed by Judge Gray of contempt of
court and sentenced to pay a fine Of
$3.50 or serve 60 days in the Blue Earth
county Jail. A stay was granted un-
til May 6. and the case may be taken
to the supreme court. The arguments
of the attorneys consumed consider
able time.
Judge Gray said he considered the
evidence overwhelming that the Of
fense charged had been committed. 1t
was of great Importance that the lib
erty of the press should not be violated
but of much greater Importance that
the rights of a citizen on trial for his
Ii fe be protected. He hardly thought
an article could be framed that would
tend to injure the public mind more
than the one complained of in this
case, that of the Sable murder case
in Todd county, and it's comparison
with the New Ulm murder case where
in it was sought to show that Sable
and Koch were distantly related.
"The facts related said the judge,
"have no place in the trial of the Koch
case. The papers were circulated ex-
tensively, and it looks as though
special effort was made to bring the
article to the attention of some the
officers of the court that will try
Koch
The court said he could not criticize
too severely any efforts along this line
and he hoped the case would prove
lesson.

IMPROVE PENDLEToN STREETS.
Asphalt a Little Too Expensive and
Macadam Will Be Used Instead

PENDLETON, April 2S.-The city
council has decided upon macadam as
the cheaper street improvement, all
the members of the body being unan-
imous that asphalt paving was out of
the question at the present time, and
preliminary steps were taken towards
getting the work of improving Court
and Main streets under way. The
question of the different kinds of street
improvements was taken up and while
the councilmen realized the virtues Of
asphalt. all agreed that the venture
would prove too costly, holding that
NEITHER the property owners nor the
municipality would be able to meet
the outlay that would be incurred by
asphalt construction.

LIFE-SAVING DOGS OF WAR.
Successful Demonstration of New Ser vice in England Proves of
 Greatest Interest.

An interesting demonstration of what dogs trained in ambulance service can do in war time in aid of the wounded has been made at Wimbledon, England. Two highly trained dogs, one of them three parts collie and one-part Eskimo, and the other also collie with the same strain of retriever, took part in the ey- hibition. Round the dogs was strapped a sort of harness bearing the Red Gross badge and fitted with pockets on each side containing triangular bandages, and round the neck hung a keg of spirits. The members of the ambulance corps present proceeded to carry out series of displays in which the dogs found men supposed to be wounded lying on the heath. invisible to the spectators, and. having found them. gave tongue. The ambulance then picked up the wounded man and completed the first aid. which by the dogs help he had been able to give himself Dogs trained for this pur- tSse are in use in the German service. many being now in Herreroland. West Africa. with the German troops in the field. and there are also many with the Russian army in Manchuria.

HACK O'BRIEN
 &.a TO RETIRE
One Year More of Fighting and Then the Law Will Use Him-Facts and Cos. sip of Other Fighters.

at*0ne more year of fighting and then l Will retire from the ring to practice law" That is the announcement made by Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia just before sailing for Bermuda.
 O'Brien can well afford to retire from the ring. and what is more. he is not compelled to do any stunts before the bar Of justice. OBrien probably is one of the wealthiest pugilists in tn" world. He has large real estate hold- ings in Philadelphia
 During the past three years he Is said to have made over SoO.OO0. His rrGtits last year alone amounted to over S17.0O0. He engaged in seven- teen battles last year. and only one 0t them went over six rounds. that being the fifteen-round affair with Mike Schreck in St Louis. s-r.@ O'Brien won all his battles without much nard work. except those With Tommy Ryan. Kid Mccoy. Bob Eitz- simmons and John Willie. which were declared draws.
 It may be interesting to know that since O'Brien made his debut i'll public in six-roupd affair with Isa- dore Strauss on December 12. 1S96 ill l Philadelphia. he has fought 13S bat ; ties, and in all these struggles for sll- premacy only one decision was, given against him. Young Peter Jackson 1 was the fortunate man. and 1t hap pened in 1900. They fought out in Sah Francisco. and the colored fellow gave O'Brien such a beating that tic affair was stopped in the thirteenth round. O'Brien's hobby is sixround bouts. He never liked the long affairs. but he can go the distance when necessary. He fought only two twenty-round contests, one with Hughey McWinters at Brooklyn and the other with George Cole at Trenton. O'Brien's ambition
 is to get Tommy Ryan in twenty round contest, with the middleweigh'
 championship at stake.

 Lords Brackley and Gerard are as' most nightly attendants at the Gaiety and their families are pretty well dis- tracted over their infatuations.
