BELOIT FRESHMEN WIN.
Cane Rush at College Won by Virtue of
Superior Numbers and Green
Crosses.

BELOIT, Wis, Sept. 23.-[Special ]
-Beloit freshmen smashed precedent,
many canes and almost a few sophie
more heads late yesterday.
The cane rush of the college freshmen
and sophomores, which came off at 3
o'clock in the city park, was a great ex-
hibition of pluck on the part of the 125
young men involved. 1t was a victory
for the freshmen, who outnumbered the
sOphomores two to one.
The freshmen being strangers to each
other, each had painted on his breast
and back a big green cross. The sopho-
mores anticipated this, but thought the
color would be blue and wore blue
crosses, hoping to confuse the freshmen.
Before the rush the sophomore and
freshmen goods lined up in the park
with banners and singing college songs
and cheering
The faculty of Beloit college has sus-
pended the rule that has prevailed since
the founding of the school which re-
quires students to attend church services
Sunday mornings. President Eaton said
it was the hope of the faculty that stu
dents would be regular in attendance at
church.

a Convict's Invention.

Referring 90 the fact that the new
jail in Newburg, when completed, will
have an automatic arrangement for
locking and unlocking series of cell
doors o. a single one in any section,
the Port Jervis Gazette says the idea
originated with 10y Schoonover, a Grim
inal of this county, Il noted character
in his day, and for many years an in
mate of Sing Sing prison.
Schoonover took kindly to prison dis
cipiine and in time came to regard the
institution as his home. He was what
is known in prison parlance as
''trusty," and was given considerable
liberty by authorities of the institution.
He was sometimes even sent on errands
outside of the prison. On one such oc-
casion he remained away until after the
usual hour for closing and was locked
out by the turnkey and unable to gain
admission until morning. AS soon as
the doors were open he sought out the
offending official and berated him Sc
verely for his action. Inside of prison
walls Schoonover's character and con-
duct were wholly exemplary, but he
found it difficult to conform to the regu-
lations of civilized society, and hence
was never long at liberty. He pos
sessed considerable inventive talent. and
is said to have invented and perfected
the original device for automatic lock-
ing and unlocking of switches now en-
ployed in most of the prisons and peni-
tentiaries of the United States.-Walde

MORE CIVIL SERVICE.
Name Glasses Encompassed
by the Law.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 23-[Spe-
cial. THE attorney general today rem
dered an opinion to the state civil serv-
ice commission, in which he holds that
legislative employees, except such as are
specially mentioned in the law, do not
come within the jurisdiction of the com
mission.
Chapter 515, which was passed after
the enactment of the civil service law,
provides that all legislative clerks re-
quired to do typewriting shall be chosen
from the eligible list furnished by the
civil service commission.
The attorney general holds that by
shall be chosen as heretofore.
The Legislature last winter provided
that the enrolling and engrossing of
bills. which has heretofore been done by
large force of clerks, should in the
future be done by much smaller num-
Der of expert typewriters. These copy
lists. according to the opinion of the at
tOrney general, will have to pass an ex
animation by the secretary of the civil
service commission and may not be re-
moved from their official positions, ex
cept for cause.
The law requires the commission to
classify all the legislative employees and
it is quite probable that at the next ses-
sion the Legislature may place a larger
number of clerks under the protection of
the civil service board, says the attorney
general.

KAUKAUNA, Wis, Sept 25.-TSpe-

for S1OO-mOney received from the gov
eminent as their share in the sale Of
Kansas Indian lands. The stories Of
how the white man is trying TO part
them from their coin are many. Horses
worth $40 to $40 are brought to the
reservation and sold for a good figure
The reservation has been flooded with

bit to drink.
Sacred Stone Left Behind.
Just within the gates of Forest Hill
cemetery at Utica, \. u, the visitor sees
a curious oval stone resting upon a grass
plot. A century ago Oneida county was
the reservation of the powerful tribe of
Oneida Indians, the second nation in the
confederation of the Iroquois.
The first settlement of the Oneidas, so
their history runs, was near the lake
which bears their name, a century before
Columbus steered his ships into western
seas. 1t was there they found the stone
and adopted it as their sacri6cial altar.
'Onia" is the dialect word for stone and
from it comes Oneida" the tribal name,
children of the stone"
Children of the Stone Increase.
AS the tribe increased in numbers
generation of the monOlith grew until
it became the Indispensable shrine of
the Oneidas. When the nation removed
from the region of the lake to their en-
campment, where now is the town of
Stockbridge, the rock, according to
their legend, went before them without
the assistance of human hands, and de-
tn1 n 10 of hut
nut grove overlooking a wide and fer
tile valley.
In this wood it remained until the in
fux of the white settlers and the march
of civilization dispersed the tribe. In
1S49, when the Forest Hill cemetery at
Utica was laid out, the trustees learned
that James Gregg of StOckbridge, on
whose farm the stone rested, was de-
sirous that it should be removed to
some other public enclosure. Its removal
was thercupOn secured.
Valedictory Is Sung
At the dedication of the cemetery the
remnants of the once powerful nation
and handful Of OnOndagas were pres
emf. Their head chief, Ononeogon,
made an address which was the vale
dictOry of the Onedas. The little group
of Indians then sang their national
songs around the relic and surrendered
it to the care of their white brethren.
To-day the tribe has completely lost it's
identity.
