ALI Over the State.

Timothy Vatyle, retired farmer from
Pennsylvania, dropped dead in hotel at
GAINESVILLE.
III. J. Halvorsen was killed, four per-
sons were seriously injured, and ten build
ings were leveled by a tornado, near Stod-
dard. The storm swept over La Crosse.
Theodore Martin, 80 years, a contract
ing painter, drowned in the river above
Horlick's dam at Racine and his compan-
ion, Albert Foster, nearly lost his life,
but was rescued by two boys.
Clinton Rhea, the 12-year-old son of
County Superintendent A. o. Rhea of
Thorpe, was accidentally shot and killed
by a boy companion named Prybylski,
while practicing shooting with q gun.
Mrs. w. A. Cannon, residing near Win
tnrop Harbor, is in a serious condition at
her home as a result of having been at
tackled by common house cat. 1t is
thought possible that the cat was suffer
ing from rabies.
At 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon two lit
tie girls, Hazel Ross, aged 10, and Ada
Butler, aged II, left the nineteenth dis
trict school in Milwaukee to pick flowers.
They have not been seen since and it is
feared they have been kidnapped by
tramps.
1t has just been learned that there is
a leper at the Soldiers Home in Milwau-
kee. The patient is Arthur E. 0'Gorman,
who served twelve years in the regular
army and came to the home from the
Philippines. He will be cared for by the
War Department.
As the result of allowing a tramp to
sleep in his barn, John Miller, a farmer
near La Crosse, lost his entire building,
together with his horses and cattle. No
trace of the man who occupied the barn
has been seen, and it is believed he may
have set fire to the building with the in
tention of perishing in the flames The
loss will amount to $1,000 or $4,000.
The project for a municipal lighting
plant in Milwaukee has received another
hard blow. City Attorney Kelly holds
that the ordinance creating the municipal
lighting commission, under which it would
operate, is illegal. Mr.. Kelly says the
commission cannot purchase a site for the
plant, because that power rests in the
Common Council. The power to lay con-
Quits rests with the board Of public
works, and the Common Council cannot
delegate to the commission the right to
adopt plans. In short, there is nothing
the commission can do legally.
Fire which badly DANCED the Timlin
hotel in Superior caused the loss of one
life. Joseph Tebeau is supposed to be
the name Of a laborer who was burned to
death. Several guests had narrow es-
capes The loss is estimated at $4,000.

Waterford, was arraigncd in the munich
pal court in Racine on the charge Of sell
ing adulterated milk to McKenna & Fra
zier Company, a creamery Of Waterford.
burst pleaded guilty. He was fined $50
and costs. According to the story of
burst over 100 farmers in that vicinity
have been watering their milk.

it for a cast. She mounted bale

her eyes upon a halfdead tree with
a broken limb projecting toward us.

cottonwoods stood side ny side few
yards below.
'The woman gave almost frantic
directions, and the steersmen pulled

we were still some yards above the

moose, and made clean catch. There
was not man among us who could
have made such a throw.

gave directions, and while one pulled
at the sweep, the rest of us seized
the rope and began swinging the raft
in toward the tree.

passed the tree, we at the rope were
at the fore end of the raft, and we
gave way inch by inch as we swung
round in a half-circle until we lodged
against the two solid trunks below.
In five minutes we were anchored,
where the pressure of the current

raft logs together. You can imagine
that we were glad, and it would have

THE AVERAGE MAN

When it comes to a question of
trusting
Yourself to the risk of the road,
When the thing is the sharing of
burdens,
The lifting the belt of q load,
In the hour of peril and trial,
10 the hour you meet as you can,
You may safely depend on the wisdom
And skill of the average man.
lis the average man and no other
Who does his plain duty each day,
The small thing his wage is for doing,
On the commonplace bit of the way.
'Tis the average man, may God bless
him,
Who pilots us, still in the van,
Over land, over sea, as we travel
Just the plain, hardy average man.
So on through the days Of existence
All mingling in shadow and shine,
We may count on the every day
hero,
When haply the gods may divine,
But who wears the swarth CRIME OF
his calling
And labors and earns as he can,
And stands at last with the mobiles,
The commonplace average man.

State News
CENSUS SHOWS GAIN BY NATIVES

Increase of Isl, sol Since 1900,
While Foreign Born Decrease.
The second census bulletin, showing a
compiled statement of the nativity statis-
ties of Wisconsin, has been completed.
The bulletin shows a total native born
population of 1,724,O07 and a foreign
born population Of 5O4,942, an increase of
101,SO1 in the former and a decrease of
11,O29 in the latter schedule. 1t also
shows that, of the native born popula-
ton, 1,4S5, 159 are natives of Wisconsin
and 23S,S4S are natives of other States,
an Increase in the first instance of 1885,
667 and a decrease in the second in
stance of 8,942 as compared with the
1900 statistics. The report indicates two
changes that are taking place. First, the
State is gradually becoming less of a for
eign State. In 1905 the percentage of
native born citizens was 77.3, as 'compar-
ed with 74.5 for 1900. Second, Of the
American born population, the natives of
Wisconsin are gradually becoming more
numerous both numerically and relatively.

MANUFACTURING PERFUME.
The Methods of Extraction Now in
Vogue in Germany.


Vhce-Consul Fuller, writing from
Hanover, declares that the perfumery
industry in Germany is one of the
most important in the world, and
rivals that of France or England.
Some of the biggest factories are in
Leipsic, but Berlin, Carlsruhe, and
Hamburg are important centres Of
The trade. There has been vast in
crease in the last few years in the
diver sity of essential oils produced
from plants, and forty varieties OF
those plants are employed in German
factories, which use as well such pro-
ducts of foreign lands as nutmeg,
cinnamon, camphor, balsams, pepper,
musk and ambergris.
The production of the essential oil
is expensive, ranging from about $22T
pound downward, according to the
scarcity of the oil in the plant. With
fresh flowers the distillation takes
place as near the place of picking as
possible, as the fresher the products
the better. The stills contain about
$500 pounds of flowers and the nee
essary amount of water. Great care
is taken as to the amount of heat
supplied and to it's regularity, the
process being thoroughly controlled
an excellent product resulting.
In the "fat'' process the flowers are
carefully sorted and the chlorophyl
glands broken. They are then stirred
gently for some hours that they may
become thoroughly saturated with the
slightly warmed fat with which the
flowers have been placed. The fat
and flower mixture is then separated
in centrifugal machines, so that the tat
may be used again with fresh flowers
till it is thoroughly saturated with
the perfume. Then a layer Of cold fas
is placed on glass plates and covered
with flowers; many of these are
stacked together in crates and LETT
Bor thirty days, during which the
flowers are changed every day.
After the thirty days the fat is cut
into strings and placed on wire-WeD
frames, which are placed alternately
with metal sheets covered with
flowers in a press, where they are
subjected to slight current OF air.
In this way the utmost amount Oh
perfume is obtained, but the opera
tions require careful attention, Tor
there should be no trace Of an herDy
scent.
The essential oils are packed IN
round iron containers, which are coat
ed with zinc inside and very securely
closed For liquids only the best SOFT
of alcohol is used, and never that CD
tanned from potatoes or corn. For the
cheaper class scent the dilution IS
often made with vinegar and WATER
as it is cheap and the scent lasts a
long time.
Artificial perfumes are made much
more easily now than formerly, ana
can be secured ready for use with
little admixture to add to their
durability.
