Profits In Feeding Ear Corn.

The results of a recent western ex-
pertinent in fattening steers are SC
striking as to make it appear that the
grinding of corn for feeding choice
two-year-old steers during the winter
season is not warranted. The profits
of feeding ear corn were fully twice
as large as those secured in feeding
cornmeal or corn and cob meal.

DISARM A SALOON KEEPER.
Hayward Policeman Arrests Man
Who Violated Ordinance.

R. J. Hennesey, chairman of the
town board of Hayward, called a
meeting May 1 and made motion
that te law in regard to saloons be
enforced. This means that the sa-
looms of Hayward must close at IL
p. m. week days, and remain closed
all day Sundays. The saloonkeepers
did not take kindly to this. Last
evening at a little past IL o'clock
Policeman A. M. Carpenter tried the
door of Olaf Noes saloon. Moe fol-
lowed Carpenter, abusing the officer.
Upon arriving at the tWon hall, which
is also used as a police station, sever
al saloonkeeprs were standing around.
Moe continued to abuse the officer,
who ordered him to keep quiet or he
would arrest him. Moe answered.:
"You can not do it," Carpenter then
started toward him and Moe drew a
revolver, but Carpenter jerked it out
of his hands, and then hit him on the
head with his club. The officer then
went for the doctor, who took fifteen
stitches in Noes head.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
FAIL TO PASS EXAMINATIONS

Many State Employees "FIunked" When
Tested by Civil Service Board.
For some time there have been ru-
mors In circulation at Madison to the
erect tnat a score or more of state
employees who took the non-competitive
civil service examination failed to
pass, and for that reason were COM
PEELED TO resign or were dropped from
the rolls. When asked regarding the
reports, President S. E. Sparkling of
the commission said that it was the
policy OF the commission not to make
public the names of candidates who
failed to pass, but that the list Of those
who passed would be made public in
time. He thought that when Secretary
DOty returned from the East, where
he went several days ago, both the list
of those who passed the non-competl-
tive and the competitive examinations
would be open to the public.
G. 5. Porter Of Fox Lake, factory in
spectOr, was the only member of the
labor commissioners force who failed
to pass. J. A. Norris of Cashton has
been appointed to succeed him: J. H.
Harbeck, factory inspector, and L. F.
Kutler, bakery inspector, both of APP
pleton, have resigned, and their places
have not yet been filled. The salary
of each position is $1,000. The civil
service commission has certified the
names of ]. F. Bergen of Mineral
Point; Henry Snyder, Jr., Of Chetek,
and David Bogue of Madison as eli
gible for factory inspector, and c. J.
Kremer and Jacob H. Schultz of Mil
waukee and G. E. Nelson of Madison
as eligible for bakery inspector.

again in the consideration of the ques-
ton OF divorcing the production OF
coal and other commodities from their
transportation and closed that branch
Of it's work by adopting a modified
provision.
When the senate adjourned there
was a general feeling that the rapid
work of the latter part of the session
presages the early final disposition of
the bill
After spending the greater part of
the day discussing it, the house yes
terday passed an amendment authoriz-
ing the secretary of the navy to go
into the open market to purchase
anchors, chains and cordage, should it
be demonstrated that those articles
can be purchased cheaper than they
can be made at government navy
yards.

Judge Characterizes Actions of Dam

Hayward, Wis, May 16-Valentine
Weisenbach, who was convicted a
couple of weeks ago in the circuit
court for Chippewa county of attempt
ed murder, was sentenced by Judge
A J. Vinji to twelve years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at Waupun.
Weisenbach was the confederate of
John Dietz and assisted Dietz when
he made his famous attack upon the
officers who attempted to arrest Dietz.
The case attracted considerable at
tention when tried, as the evidence
connected Dietz with every criminal
act of the defendant. The crime was
committed several miles miles from
the Cameron dam, which Dietze has
so successfully defended with his rifle
and showed that the men were laying
in ambush for the officers. In sentenc-
ing Weisenbach, Judge Vinje charac-
terized the acts of Dietz and of Weis-
enbach as treason against the State
Of Wisconsin"

urday afternoon. Services at which
only the family were present were
first held at Mr.. Wheelock's home, AL
Summit avenue Afterward, at 2:3O
o'clock, public yet transformations and
brief services were held at the House
Of Hope Presbyterian church, of which
Mr. Wheelock had long been a con-
spicuous member. Needless to say,
the church was crowded with some OF
those that had long esteemed or loved
a man who made no efforts to obtain
popularity. Many of the most infuen-
tiaI residents of this city and state
were there. Flowers in exceptional
abundance appeared on and about the
coffin These floral embIems conveyed
the sorrow and love of nearly all the
governmental and the important COM
mercial bodies in the city. A beauti-
full tribute to the lamented editor was
the address by DR.. NJ. D. Edwards,
pastor of the Dayton Avenue Presby-
terrain church, lifelong friend Of Mr.

FARM CONDITIONS GOOD.
Secretary True of Agricultural Board
Finds Crops Generally Favorable.

FINDS crops Generally FAVORABLE.
Secretary John M True of the state
board of agriculture has issued his
first crop report. Farm conditions in
this state are generally favorable, but
not gratifying.
Reports show that in the western
division of the state and in many
parts of the middle division during
March the ground was free from snow
and froze to a sufficient depth to seri-
ously injure the clover crop, especial
~ fields that were cut last season.
Winter wheat was also considerably
injured, though this crop is of much
less Importance than clover
Fruit trees and shrubbery generally
came through the winter in good con-
dition and the prospects are, at date,
excellent for heavy bloom upon all va
rieties.
The season is some ten days later
than the last and not all small grain
fields are sown in the southern and
central divisions of the state, while
farm work in the northern division is
somewhat more backward. Frequent
complaint is made that ground is too
dry for proper handling.
More than the usual acreage Of
blowing was done last fall, and much
grain has been put in upon last years
corn and potato fields by the use OF
disc harrows instead of pillow.
Pastures are in good condition, and
with warm weather will in due time
give sufficient food for stock
We note that many farmers are in
f1icting injury both upon their fields
and cattle by already allowing their
animals to run upon fields just becom-
ing green.
No widespread or even general dis
ease is reported among live stock
though the condition of farm animals
is not generally good, possibly attrib-
utable to the poor quality of last
years hay crop.
From present indications the acre
age of spring sown grains will be
equal to that of last year, except
spring wheat, which continues to di-
minish.
The tendency will be to plant a
smaller acreage of potatoes than last
year, while in the tobacco districts
the acreage will be increased.
Sugar beets will be extensively
planted, with large increase of acre
age in Dane and other counties tribu-
tary to the new beet sugar factory at
Madison
Dairy products continue to bear
good prices, and this industry will
continue to to grow, Notwithstanding
the serious menace of tuberculosis
among cattle in many parts of the
state.
From letters of inquiry sent out we
estimate the condition of the following
crops-100 representing good normal
cOndition-winter wheat SO IL, rye SO,
clover 81, timothy meadows SO.
From the same source we gain the
following average of farm prices of
products being sold:
Wheat, 75c; rye. 58c barley, 46c;
oats, CSC; corn, 45c; beans, $1.55; pO-
tatoes, 45c; clover seed, So; timothy
seed, $3.50; dairy butter, 21c; eggs
lac, tame hay, $7.25.

drowning, and not from being shot by
the man he was pursuing at the time
of the tragedy, as first reported.

listened to the reading of sections 3
and 4. This reading brings the cOnsid-
Grafton of the bill up to the Allison

A number of important changes
were made in the second section, in
GLIDING a provision restoring the i'm
prisonment penalty of the act of 1887,
and an amendment suggested by Sen
ator McCumber imposing fine and i'm
prisonment against shippers who ac-
cept rebates from transportation com

facture of these articles. This change
was brought about through the efforts
of the chairman Of the appropriations
committee, Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota,
who offered an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill directing the
change.

Schenk, a prominent Bon Homme
county farmer, had no faith in savings
banks, SO he made a practice Of keep

the hiding place evidently was not so
secure as he supposed, for it was raid
ed by thief, who carried away gold
coin to the value of $1,000. The house
was entered while members of the
Schenk family were asleep, and the
loss of the money was not discovered
until the next morning. Not the slight
est clue has been secured which would
lead to the discovery of the identity Of
