BATTLE COST ALI HE HAD.

@%NNNON~~N~

DissipateI Large Properties, but
Failed to Keep out OF Prison.
The 16O-acre farm of Albert Ullmann
formerly Of Lebanon, now serving ten
year sentence in Waupun for attempted
murder of his daughter, has been sold
at sheritf's sale. The place was bid in
by Cashier G. d. Roberts of Oconomo-
woe for Sl4,65Q. NJ. Jacobs of Beaver
Dam held a mortgage Of $4,000. upon
which the action for foreclosure was
based. The sale is a sequel to the des-
perate fight which the Lebanon man
made to keep clear of the prison walls
When Ullmann was arrested he secured
bondsmen by deciding his farm of 100
acres over to John and Edward J. La
buwi of RubicOn, as sureties, and he
secured an attorney by executing a mort
gage in favor Of J. e. Malone of Ju-
neau for $4,000. The bondsmen were
also to be literally paid for their trou-
bic. Malone put up the mortgage as
collateral for a loan of $500 from Mi
chael e. Jacobs of Beaver Dam, who
subsequently brought the action for fore
closure. The mortgage, fees and costs
took the major portion Of the purchase
price, leaving but little to be turned over
to the estate

as the lock is entered and the ship
made fast SO that it cannot be moved
about by the in or outrushing water,
and yet may rise or fall with the
change OF level, the great gates behind
her will be closed and water admitted
into the lock from the higher level
or drawn off into the lower as the YES
sci is ascending or descending. When
the new level is reached the other
gates are opened, and once more the
vessel continues her journey between

arriving at the far terminus the pilot
is dropped and the vessel disappears

Cigars at Their Best.

"Buy your cigars in quantities, put
them in a cedar box, lay the box away
in your cellar and at the end of three
or four years they are just right for
smoking" said T. L. Marston.
"a cigar, if properly kept, improves
with age, and at the end of four years
storage reaches the maximum of eX-

NAVIGATING THE CANAL.
A Trip Through the Proposed Water

A Trip Through the Proposed Water
way Will Be Slow at Best.
To make it possible to pass a ship
from ocean to ocean, even by a high
level design, will require from six to
eight years, and by one at sea level
ten years, though possibly twelve.
Which Of the two types, all things con-
sidered, is the better Is a question re-
curing great thought for the proper
answer. On the one hand, there are
required a greatly increased invest
ment OF capital and some delay in
time, although the latter in the life Of
such an enterprise is probably of small
amount. The deciding factor will prob
ably be the practical usefulness of the
type when completed. No matter what
the design, the canal cannot be navi-
gated its entire length by large steam
ers with the freedom that they pass
up and down broad river. 1t is con
templated that the width Of the canal
at the bottom shall be about 80 feet,
giving width on the surface Of from
200 to $50 feet, according to the flat
ness Of the side slopes, dependent OH
the varying local character Of the rock
or earth through which the canal will
be dug. AS large modern steamers
have a beam of seventy-five feet, it is
obvious that two such vessels cannot
pass each other in the regular channel.
On arriving at either terminus the
ship will report to the harbor master
for permit to pass, and, if she be a
sailing vessel, for q tug to take her
through. After an inspection, the TAX
ing on of coal, supplies and pilot,
and being measured for and paying
toll charges, the vessel will then re-
ceive an order emitting her to proceed.
This order will be like a train order
on a single track railway, giving au-
there either 10 meet and pass a ship
coming from the other end or to draw
to one side and p@gmit the other ship
to pass, or to get 0theg orders to pro-
ceed further. Ths passing of ships
will be arranged KY constructing sid
ings;" that is, widening Of the channel
into which a vessel can draw and moor
to clusters Of piles. When the passing
is made the vessel then advances to
the next siding where a vessel is eX-
pected, all of which will be controlled
by Geographic order from a central
dispatcher's Office, where there will be
a chart showing the exact position of
any ship at any time, corrected in
stantly by adyices received from the
local stations. Along the banks there
will be semaphore signals by day and
lights by night, Indicating the position
of Instructions or vessels ahead, so as
to prevent collisions.
On arriving at a lock the steamer
will find a structure similar in princi-
pie to the small canal locks with which

State Factory Inspector Complies
Statistics of Child Workers.
The State factory inspectors depart
ment is compiling statistics of labor per-
mits issued by the county and municipal
judges throughout the State, since July
l, 1904. With two northern counties
missing, the returns thus far received
show that for the year and half, 26,500
working permits were issued to children
in Wisconsin, 23S of which were for boys
under II years of age. Of the latter
number, about half were vacation per-
mits only, allowing children under the
age limit to work during the summer va
cation. In several counties, not one per-
NIT was inssued, and some county judges
seemingly were unaware that a child
labor law was in existence, judging from
the replies they sent to the factory in
spector. In Milwaukee, during the
school period, absolutely no labor permits
are issued to children under II years
Of age, and if Mr.. Waller, the factory
Inspector, receives knowledge of such
children's being employed he not only
orders them to.cease, but arrests the en-
plOyer

WHY HIS LUCK CHANGED
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A man who thought he saw a good
opening for a restaurant on the main
street Of the city in which he resided,
and who had, besides, ideas Of his own
concerning the eating-house business,
rented the lower floor Of building in
a good location, near a prominent cor
ner, and proceeded to put his theories
into practice.
Although the new place was neat
and attractive, the cooking and service
good, and the prices reasonable, the
business did not flourish as he had
hoped. The patronage was not suf-
fic1ent to pay expenses.
All the end of five or six weeks he
took one Of his frequent customers, a
practical business man, into his conf
dence.

BATTLE AGAINST PLAGUE.

City OF New York Will Care for
COnsumptfves.
The heaviest gun which the city of
New York has yet brought to bear or
tuberculosis was trained on the white
plague on Nov. 1, when DR.. Darling
ton and Mayor Mcclellan formally
took possession of the 1900 acres Of
ground purchased in the Catskills,
where the city will form the largest
consumptive camp in the country.
Up in the Shawangunk range Of
hills in Orange County, halfway be-
tween Middletown and Port Jervis,
and 1000 feet above sea level, where
the pure and health giving air of the
Catskills sweeps down from Lake Mo
hOnk and Lake Minnewaska, the con-
sumptive poor Of the city will in a
very short time be able to make the
fight for health and strength under
conditions which a municipality has
never before been able to place at
their disposal. 1t will be the realiza-
ton Of the efforts which Health Com
missioner Darlington has put forward
for some years, and the plan has at
tracted the attention of scientists and
students of tuberculosis throughout
the world
After untiring effort DR.. Darlington
succeeded, with the help Of the mayor,
in having the authorities appropriate
$4,000 as a starter The deal for the
land which comprises nine farms, hav-
ing upon them all the necessary barns
and farm houses, was closed Oct. 10,
and GOO acres of the tract purchased
will be put in shape at once. The en-
tire cost Of the experiment will APP
proximate 100000, and no doubt ex-
lists in the mind of DR.. Darlington that
the city will quickly appropriate the
balance as soon as the need becomes
apparent
According to the statement made by
DIR. Darlington to the board Of esti-
mate, no more ideal spot for the work
in hand can be imagined The tract is
beautifully wooded, springs abound,
| there is good fishing in season in the
mountain streams, and the farms have
produced garden truck IN abundance
| for years. There are. o number OF
herds Of thoroughbred cattle on these
| farms, whose dairies have produced
5000 quarts of milk a dag, and as all
the farm appurtenances, cattle and
| buildings become the pronGfty Of the
city by this purchase, there will not
only be enough produce and milk
properly to feed the patients, but for
| a time the farms will continue TO be a
source of revenue to the city.-Ohio

WOMANLY MANISHNESS.

Curious Sort of Creature that Mod
ern Girls Are Turning Into.
The proper thing to give to a girl
Of to-day, we are told, is a walking
stick or a cigarette case or a match
box. Something business-like and
masculine is her only joy. She
scorns delights and lives laborious
days though why this should be con-
sidered a masculine habit the accus-
ers do not explain. However, it will
be readily admitted especially by men
who have played mixed hockey, that
the girl hockey-player does scorn de-
lights with great zeal. And hockey,
so they say, now has women devotees
numerous as the sands Of the shore.
The consumption Of arnica is largely
on the increase.
While the woman of to-day, and still
more the woman Of tomorrow, thus
devotes her daylight hours to the
sports which have made her broth
ers the noble creatures they are, her
nights, too, are strenuous. No longer
does the long-suffering piano claim her

longer are the theater and the ball

de nos jours gives her time to serious
matters. She goes in her hundreds

lures which are, speaking metaphori-
cally, bone-making food, lectures on
the economic system of the middle
ages and the metaphysic Of the will,
and fine, large things of that kind. So
say the scaremongers. And thereafter
enthusiastically inquire ''if all this does
Tot make women into men, what does
it do?"
1t seems likely to make them, not
into men, but into the virtuous heroes
Of university novels, the wonderful
creatures who distribute their lives
between playing games and studying
hard, and ultimately die Of consump-
ton, but who are not, strictly speak
ing, men. So let us hope that things
are not as bad as the scaremOngers
say. The worst Of a scaremonger is
that he frightens people away from
what is good as we'll as what is bad.
It is doubtless possible to be too siren
uous for your own good, as well as
for other peoples comfort. Too fierce
a devotion to hockey means immediate
havoc for other peoples anatomy, and
ultimately for your own. Too fierce
devotion to the metaphysic of the will
or something Of that solid kind-Will
mean that such mundane matters as
dinner go to chaos, and that the stu
dent ceases to be human. But after
all most Of us are not so strenuous
that we need to be warned to take
things easy. Quite otherwise.

SPECIALIST A CALAMITY.
-Rudyard KipliDg.

London Doctors Indictment OF a
Modern Tendency as Narrowing.
1.-THE inherent dangers and adyant-
ages Of the almost universal tendency
to specialize on the part Of physicians
and surgeons" was the main thesis of
a recent address, delivered by DR.. G..
g. Franklin. Perhaps the most start
ling fact Of the day in connection with
medical education, said DR.. Franklin,
is the apparently inevitable develop
ment of the specialist. One might be
inclined to ask whether the general
practitioner will, as such, continue to
exist, when one contemplates the sub
divisions Of work that are undertaken
by the specialist. Thus there were not
only special men for the eye, ear,
spine, skin and throat, but for almost
every organ in the body, says the Lon
don Mail
Two main reasons might be assigned
for this state of things-1rst, the Sc
we're competition which awaits we'll
qualified man when he is about to
start in practice; and, second, the de
mand Of the public. The public did
not believe in universalism as applied
to the practice of medicine, but they
pinned their faith to some specialist
who had taken up some particular all
ment or organ of the body. "A healthy
SOCIALISM, continued DR.. Franklin,
''has been described as the practice of
a special branch Of treatment, the
study of q special domain of knowl-
edge of q natural and gradual growth,
in the varied experience of a practi-
TONER. Something like this has al
ways existed in medicine, greatly to
its advantage, and is very different
from the specialism of what l have
heard described as the mushroom
growth variety, where chicanery and
humbug reign triumphant.
There can be no doubt that honest
specialism has advanced the science
and art of both medicine and surgery,
particularly during the last thirty or
forty wears, but as has often been OBJ
served in many other lines Of human
activity. subdivisions of labor, while
advancing the best interests of the peo-
ple at large, have great disadvantages
for those engaged in the work. There
is then the danger that this modern de
yelopment of specialism may tend to
produce a narrower type of medical
men, who, like the mechanics, will only
know their own departments Of work,
and be unable to understand properly
the relations of special portions of the
field Of medicine to others, or to the
system at large.
''From my experience Of practice and
patients | make bold to declare that
the public might derive more help and
benefit than they Go If they knew what
to have and what to avoid in the way
Of specialism. Now, here is the cppor-
tunity and a well-defined duty for the
wen-educated practitioner. He wud
see to It that his patients shall not, ii
he can help it, patronize the false spe-
cialist, legally qualified or not. Be
fore leaving this subject | may take
the opportunity to express mT regret
