Madison.-Gov. Davidson, through
Private Secretary o. G. Munson, VAS
solicited by Maj. T. S. Clarkson, spe-
cial commissioner of the AlaskaYu
kon-Pacific exposition, to recommend
that the legislature appropriate $685.
600 for a building and adequate repre-
sentation in the exhibition at the city
of Seattle, in the summer of 1909.
While Col. Munson could give Maj
Clarkson no definite assurances, he
seemed deeply interested in the prof.
ect. The exposition is to be held on
the university grounds of the state of
Washington. The university grounds
cover 355 acres and the building of
the institution will be utilized for the
event. Already Maj Clarkson has
visited Is different state governors
and says that the results have been
very encouraging. Each state is
asked to put up a permanent building
which can later be utilized by the
state of Washington for the use of
the people who came from the state
which erected it.

Increase of Insanity in State.

According to figures issued by the
October 1 last STA insane persons
confined in county and state asylums
of Wisconsin, an increase of 104, or a
fraction over two per cent. since Octo-
Der 1, 1905. 1t is estimated by the
board of control that the ratio of the
insane of the state under public care
to the total population of the state is
about 1 to 400. Including the insane
inmates of private asylums and sani-
tariums the ratio is believed to be
about 1 to 275. On October 1, 1906,
there were 4,063 inmates in the 81
county insane aSylums of the state,
1,177 in the two state asylums at Men
dota and Oshkosh, and 534 in the Mil
waukee asylum, total of STA To
help defray tue expense of caring for
and maintaining the insane the state
pays each county $1.50 per week for
each of it's chronic insane residents.
There are 81 counties Of the state OPP
Grating asylums for the chronic in
sane. These counties also care for
the chronic insane of other counties,
receiving three dollars per week for
each such person and about $12 per
year as an allowance for clothing.
There are 500 state-at-large insane
patients, or persons having no fixed
residence in the state confined in
these county asylums, and the state
pays three dollars a week, with cloth
ing allowance, for their care and
maintenance.

Electric Railway incorporates.

Electric Railway Incorporates.
The Madison and Fond du Lac ElSc-
trio Railway company, which proposes
to build an air line from the two cities,
filed articles of incorporation in the
office of the secretary of state. Ac-
cording to the promoter, Franklin A.
Umsted of Chicago, the road is certain
to be built. He says that trains will
be running over it by October 1, 1907.
An eastern syndicate is said to be
backing the project. The system used
viii be the protected third-rail one.
The road will be 6S miles long, with a
branch to Watertown and Fox Lake,
1ntersecting the main line at Beaver
Dam, where the power plant is to be
located. The main line will pass
through Windsor, Columbus, Beaver
Dam and Waupun. The track will be
ballasted with rock, and the cars will
be of steel with seating capacity of
Y each. The company will do both a
passenger and freight business, and
expects to have some trains that will
make the run between the two ter.
minal points in one hour and Is min
uteS. The route has been surveyed
and a considerable part of the right
OF way has been bought.

PAPERS WALL WITH CHECKS.
Remind Owner of Time When He
Was Prosperous.

Sitting many hours day gazing
reminiscently at the walls of square
room papered with Cancelled bank
checks, Gerald de Costa, a queer old
character, is passing the last days of
his life, says a New York World cor
respondent at River Denys, Cape Bre-
ton. Physicians say that he has an
incurable disease and order him to lie
down, but he insists on sitting up,
that he may look at the checks.
De Costa went from London to
Chicago after the great fire which
devastated the Windy city and be-
came prosperous grain merchant.
He continued to wax rich until the
panic of 1898, when he was forced to
the wall and left practically penniless.
While wealthy he did a big business
through banks, and as he always kept
the checks after they had come back
through the clearing house he had
nearly a thankful at the time he
failed.

Rough Weather Ends
Trip of "SIave Ship"

In this connection real life story
of the sea, of smuggling and adven-
ture, thrilling pursuits and hair
breadth escapes, and the perilous voy-
age of a little schooner, under whose
battered down matches was a cargo
such as the slavers of the story books
carried, ended when the Frolic of Bos-
ton was discovered by chance in the
harbor of Providence, r. I.
1t was the sea that had been it's
refuge that finally wrought the I'M
doing of the Frolic and foiled its adj
venture after it had played tag with
revenue cutters and customs officers
for weeks along the coast. The Frolic
was a battered and crippled ghost of
a boat when it crept into port with AZ
woebegone and starving Cinnamon in
it's hold In the night, while it was
believed the crew of a storm beaten
fishing boat was repairing damage,
dories went to and from the shore
and the Frolic and q Cinnamon were
landed
The Cinnamon were still being

heaps, when man employed on one
of the pockets on a dock stumbled
across a shivering group of Cinnamon
and gave the alarm. A little later
customs and immigration officers
swooped down on the Frolic and cap
tured Is Cinnamon and two of the
crew. Skipper H. K. Colby, of Bos-
ton, who led the adventure, and his
mate, CAP Adams, slipped away in
a dory and escaped. On shore Off
GERS captured John c. Lehnemann, of
Boston, whose part in the adventure
was conveying and smuggling China
men to the refuge of the Chinese
quarter in Providence.
The two members of the crew of the
Frolic who were captured said the
little vessel had beaten about the
coast from Eastport, Me-, to Cape
Hatteras for two weeks, lodging rev.
enue cutters and coast guards, and
buffeted by storms. They said the
Frolio's captain only took the des-
perate chance of running into Provi-
dence when the little vessel had been
so battered it could not stay at sea
any longer.

Express companies which have
branches in Chinatown in the larger
cities are busy transferring accounts
of thrifty Celestials to Picking, Hong
Kong and Canton. Hundreds of the
returning Cinnamon are buying large
establishments in the trade centers
of their native country, while others
are investing in farms and planta-
tions. They return with stories of how
they are often i'll treated in the Unit
ed States, but they also clink the
American gold which they have gar
nered. The depletion of the Chinese
population is, as investigations made
in the principal colonies in the Unit
ed States show, hardly met by the
birth rate or by the influx of the orr
entails across the borders. The result
of all this has been to increase the
wages of Chinese workmen in Amer
lea to exorbitant figures.
Chinese are In demand not only for
work as laundrymen, but as highly

for laundrymen is from SIS to $40 or
more week, with board. Once a

Chinese of intelligence who can

schemes-and it is one which is often
successful-is employed by merchants
for the benefit of friends and relatives
here. The merchant will practically
close out his business, leaving, how
ever, a few outstanding accounts.
Sometimes, if his customers are good
pay, two or three obliging friends may
consent to be debtors. The merchant,
after comfortably establishing himself
in China, sends his friend or kinsman
over to the United States to close
out his business, looking a1>ar his bad

The cockerels for the coming season
should be chosen early in the fall and
the old ones disposed of. By choosing
them young they will not fight so
much and there will not be the danger
of losing valuable bird. They should
be mature enough so as to tell wheth-

SMALLPOX at Insane HOSPITAL.

Smallpox broke out at the state hos
pital for the insane at Mendoza, and
the state board of health ordered the
institution quarantined. There are
SOS insane persons at the hospital,
and $50 nurses, attendants, and other
employees, all of whom have been
more or less exposed. Miss Josephine
Johnson, an attendant, has been suf-
fering from rash for several days,
and at a conference of the hospital
physicians and DR.. G. A. Harper, of
Madison, secretary of the state board
of health, the disease was diagnosed
as smallpox. 1t is the theory of the
physicians that Miss Johnson con-
tracted the disease some days ago
while visiting friends in the eastern
part of Madison, where several fami-
lies that had suffered from smallpox
had just been released from quaran-
tine.

To Eliminate Limbureer odor.


enforcement of the traditional odor
from limburger cheese is what j. Q.
Emery, Wisconsin dairy and food
commissioner, has set himself to ac-
complish Mr.. Emery arrived at the
hypothesis that the odor is due to
the presence of filth and dirt in the
process of manufacture. Tests and
experiments have settled the fact,
says the commissioner, that when filth
is kept out of the ingredients the prod
uct is free from offensive odor. why
not apply this discovery to the linn
burger cheese industry?" Commits
sioner Emery asks. IF the brand of
cheese can be made less horrifying
in smell the demand for it will multi
ply and the industry in Wisconsin
and other cheese producing states
will show great increase. Compar-
atively few people eat limburger. This
is because they want to keep away
from it. Eliminate the odor and peO-
pie will eat limburger where they now
eat inferior brands of brick cheese"

Boston.-It Is the lure OF wages so
high that five years savings make
fortune that is drawing venturesome
Chinese these days into the country
by novel shifts and in strange dis
guises.
Officially the smuggling of Celestials
across the borders is dead Experts
in immigration and some inspectors
will say when questioned that there
is no such thing. AS matter of fact,
however, although the Chinese popu-
lation of the United States is not in
creasing, and timidity and the severity
of the enforcement of the exclusion
act deter many who might otherwise
attempt to gain this promised land,
plans for getting the contraband race
into the United States are bolder and
more skilfully concocted than ever.
Messages sent along the New Eng
land coast few days ago to intercept
the Frolic, a schooner yacht, with her
consignment of 35 coolies, called pub
lie attention to the fact that the Chi
nese are still mindful of the oppor-
tunities offered in this country. Tao
tics similar to those attributed to the
vessels charters are used by shrewd
spectators, many of whom are Amer
leans. Chinese who have persistence
and courage are able to make their
way here in spite of the utmost vigi-
lance of the authorities.
From a sentimental point of view
It would appear that Chinese would
not care to come here for fear they
would be subjected to indignities by
the inspectors who are stationed at
ports of entry and in the principal
cities and towns on both the northern
and southern borders. This does not
apply to the more conservative of the
race, but there are hundreds of
shrewder and holder spirits who see
