SPENCER CAME THROUGH
Man Who Appropriated Jerry st. Den
mis- Whiskey and Barley.

John Spencer "came through" all
right, says the Athena Press. Yester-
day he came into Justice Chamber
lain's office without official escort
and gave himself up. He did this Of
his own accord and free will, though
it is said Officer Smith had been hunt
ing him with lantern at night and
once got, close enough to his where
abouts to capture his hat.
Spencer's trouble began Monday
night. He was drunk, and meeting
Jerry st. Dennis in the same condi-
ton on the road south of town, he
held st. Dennis up and relieved him
of a bottle Of whisky and three sacks
of barley. 1t is presumed that If ST.
Dennis had had load Of hay in his
possession at the time. Spencer would
have made a haul at that, too. He
took the barley to Bushman's place.
The grain Is there yet, but the sup
positions is that Mr.. Spencer drank the
whisky.
Yesterday st. Dennis was in no con-
dition to appear in court against
Spencer, and Justice Chamberlain let
him go on his own recognizance until
further notice.

ASHLAND, Wis, Oct ia ro-

Glidden which affects three persons,
two of whom will be wed, while the
third will go along life's pathway alone.
Several days ago William Schaefer,
a young man of Glidden, appeared at
the county clerks office and secured a
license to wed Miss Myrtle Hillsinger,
a winsome girl of the same town.
Today it developed that he was not
when F. T. Hannes, wealthy old
farmer living near Glidden, asked for
a license to wed the same young lady.
1t seems that Hannes asked for ner
hand several months ago, but was not
given a definite answer, and when he
found that another had secured a mar
riage license he forthwith armed him
self likewise and will present himself
before his sweetheart and defend his
cause. Meanwhile the preparations for
Miss Hillsinger's wedding to her young
sutton goes merrily on; the wedding
has been set for this week.
The young lady's aunt and sister are
opposed to Mr.. Hannes and, according
to his story, have kept him from see
ing her. BY the laws Of the state per-
sons holding marriage licenses cannot
wed for five days. and Mr.. Hannes at
tempted to get the start of the other
sutton by getting a special permit from
Judge McCully to waive the five days
and allow the marriage to take place at
once. This was refused him unless he
obtain written letter from the girl
asking for the permit.

Henry Cannot Of Geological Survey
Issues q Bulletin.
SOME PECULIAR FACTS ARE GIVEN
NEW BOUNDARIES HAVE BEEN
MEASURED WITH GREATEST
OF CARE.

The question, "What constitutes
the area Of the United States?" would
one, but according to Bulletin 3O2 Of
the United States Geological Survey,
of which Mr.. Henry Gannett is the
author, it is quite the reverse. Juris-
dfction extends to a line nautical
miles from the shore, but this strip Of
sea cannot properly be regarded as a
part of the country. Surprising our
country to be restricted to the sea and
lake coast, there remains a question
regarding the bays and estuaries. To
what extent should the coast line be
followed strictly, and where should
we begin to jump across the indentat-
ions made by the sea-. In this matter
one can only follow his own judgment,
making in each case as natural a deci-
sion as possible, as no definite criterion
can be established. The absence of
an absolute standard is in large meas
ure the cause Of the discrepancy be-
tween the tables of the census Office,
made in 1881, and those Of the Gen.
eral Land Office, prepared in 1899,
both Of which Show the areas of the
United States and of the several
States and territories.
Made With Great Care.
The measurements and computa-
tons upon which these tables were
based were made with great care and
thoroughness in each case, and the
results probably represented the areas
as closely as they could be determined
from the maps and charts in existence
at both times. Most Of the differences
in these two sets Of tables are trifling
amounting to only few square miles
or a small fraction Of 1 per cent, being
well within the limits of error of the
planimeter and Of the maps used.
Some of them, however, are consider
able, and few are explained by the
fact that more recent maps, which
changed the position Of boundaries
between states, had been used by the
land Office, and its measurement was,
therefore, more nearly correct. Other !

discrepancies arose from differences in
determining the coast lines.
Realizing the desirability of but one
government statement of areas of the
states and territories. an attempt has
been made by Mr.. Frank Bond, chief
craftsman of the General Land office,
Mr.. c. S. Sloane, geographer of the
Census office, and Mr.. Henry Can
nett, geographer of the Geological
Survey to come to an agreement on
these figures. The results Of their
conference and cooperation are set
forth in the aforementioned bulletin.
BY this adjustment the area is given
United States proper, which is given
as 3,O26,7S9 square miles, is increased
over the census office figures by 1888
square miles.
Area Of Alaska.
The area given for Alaska is 500, 1884
square miles. 1t is subject to consid-
cradle modification in the future as
the position of the coast line becomes
better known. The area given for the
Philippine Islands is 115,O26 square
miles and was determined by the
Coast survey of that archipelago, pre-
pared at the instance Of the Philippine
census. 1t also is subject to modifica-
ton as accurate charts Of the archipel-
ago are made. The areas of Hawaii,
6449 square miles, and Porto Rico, 3435
square miles, are probably subject to
only slight changes, as the charts from
which they were measured are quite
accurate. The areas given for the
other small possessions Of the United
States, Guam, 210 square miles, Samoa,
u square miles, and the Panama Canal
strip, 474 square miles, will probably
be changed in the future as their lin
its become more correctly defined.
