When the rate bill is disposed
of, it is though that Congress
will rush the appropriation bills
and will get home in short order.
That is the wish of the majority
of members. But the date OF
adjournment is really far from
settled. OF course it would be
possible to put through the APP.
preparation bills very speedily.
But in the background there is
the ghost of the Philippine tariff,
the statehood bill, the pure food
bill and the denatured Alcohol
bill. all of them important
measures, though not legislation
of the first magnitude. But any
one of them is capable>of start
ing a fight that might keep con
gres here we'll into the summer.
AS an illustration of the un.
certainty of the situation, the
remark of Senator Foster might
be cited. He was trying to buy
la dog this week, and with true
Senatorial thrift was bargaining
to have him kept by the dealer

Toilet Of the Ant.

A naturalist has been making OBJ
servatiOns on the toilets of certain
ants, and has discovered each insect
goes through most elaborate ablu-
tons. They are not only performed
by herself, but by another, who acts
for the time as lady's maid. The as
sistant starts by washing the face of
her companion, and then goes over
the whole body. The attitude of the
ant that is being washed is one of in
tense satisfaction.

Farming in Northern Wisconsin,
BY II. S, Fairall, of Iron River--

~
BY IS, Fairail, of Iron River
From advertisements and stories
which appear in the daily newspap-
ers. one might be led to believe that
all or most of the settlers are going
into the western states and into
Northwest Canada. This is not true
In fact it would surprise many to
know of the great influx of settlers
into northern Wisconsin.
The rush which was made to lands
in the northwest cour try is over.
AS regards the western states, most
of them are overcrowded with peo-
pie representing every class.
In seeking land for purposes of
agriculture, the famers in the thickly
settled portions of Iowa, Indiana
and Nebraska are looking north
ward. For time the argument that
good crops could not be raised in
the north owing to the severity OF
the climate and the short summer
season was thought to oe the truth.
When it was found to be false. the
knockers got together and con-
demned the soil.
They sale that northern Wiscon-
sin had a richly colored red clay soil
that made fine building bricks and
was great stuff to serve as founda-
ton for asphalt pavements: but for
farming purposes it was tough pro-
position. They pictured our cut
over timber lands, dotted with
stumps, as places to be avoided.
We have proven to them by the
actual crops which we are raising,
that there is no better farming land
in the world. Cur crops tell the best
and most complete story of what re-
suits can be easily obtained from
t;lling the soil of the frozen north.
We grow hay that cannot be dupii-
Gated anywhere and our grain is

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

Senator Metcalf has returned
from the Pacific Coast where he
went as the personal representa-
tive of the administration to su-
pervise the relief. He drove
straight from the train to the
White House and made a hurried
verbal report to the president.
He said that the situation on the
coast was we'll in hand, that the
relief work under the direction
of the army and of the Relief
committee was doing as we'll as
could be wished or expected.
But he said also that the magni-
tude Of the disaster was such
that it was impossible to convey
a impression of it without either
soaring off into meaningless ad.
jectives or else being common
place and failing to convey a re al
impression of the situation. He
said that the description of the
disaster was the work of a hlstor-
ian twenty years hence. But he
said at the same time that the
people of the coast with real
pluck were taking the best view
of the situation and were deter.
mined to rebuild the city ON a
grander scale than it had ever
know and that after all the loss
might not prove such an unmixed
misfortune.

Strong Words by the Court.


Remarks Of Judge A. J. Vinje
in sentencing Valentine Weisen-
bach who was convicted of at
tempted murder as an associate
ard confederate of John F. Dietz
at Chippewa Falls, May, 10th,
1906.
To my mind there was only one
verdict the jury could bring in,
and that was guilty, as charged
in the information. The evidence
Impressed itself as being proof,
not only beyond a reasonable
doubt, but proof beyond any
doubt. I speak not only so far
as the direct testimony is con-
cerned, but also of all the sur
rounding facts and circumstance
and while you may not perhaps
be a man of unusual vigor and
strength, yet | am thoroughly
satisfied that you have, if not the
average amount Of intelligence of
the people of your class and sta
tion in life, at least fair degree
OF intelligence, and that your in
telligence was amply able to tell
you that it was wrong to join
in and aid the acts that the tes-
timony shows we're done at
that time and place.
1t was not only an attempt to
com nit murder and in a coward
ly and dastardly manner, as the
evidence shows, but it was more
than that. Your act was practi-
cally, and in effect, treason
against the state. Perhaps not
tt chnically, but practically and
in effect it was.
You knew that the officers of
the law were coming in there
that day, must have known it
from the surrounding facts and
circums stances, and the man with
whom you were there must have
known it, and while they were
peaceably proceeding in lawful
performance of their duties as of-
fcers of the state, charged with
the duty Of enforcing theprocess
of the law, you fired upon them
and sought to kill and murder
them.
So the offenSe was not only in
fact and in reality an attempt to
to commit murder, but it was in
effect treason against the state OF
wisconsin and against the laws
of the state or any com munity,
It was not merely question ct
a private brawl between two
parties. but is question OF a
conflict between the State of
Wisconsin and you and your con-
federate in that act. So that
from every point of view it de-
serves the severest condemnation
that any court can give both in
the manner and mode of attack
and the facts surrounding the
commission of the offense. If
such acts should be tolerated or
lightly passed by we ightjust as
we'll stop our courts and our ci-
vilization and demend upon the
Winchester rifle as the % can of
asserting our rights.
