here on Monday, died yesterday from
bullet wounds, fourteen in number,

and dIsarm him. The body was taken
to Milwaukee this afternoon by
brother, Albert Feltz.
Feltz claimed in his statement made
to the sheriff at Sparta that two men
who were killed by tram near Ray
more on Tuesday morning were Paul
Sims and James Rooney of Milwaukee,
his companions. Neighbors of the
Feltz family said last night that the
two men said to have been killed had
returned to Milwaukee. They live
in Silver City.
According to the friends of the dead

THE GREAT MAIL ORDER HOUSES
CHICAGO Concerns Branch Out
Farmers Pay Freight.

The mail-order houses are branch
ing out. They are so confident of
their popularity with the agricultural
classes and they are so highly gratified
over the profits they are now making
from their dealings with the American
farmers that they desire to extend
their relations with this prime factor
in their remarkable prosperity.
Their plan now is to not only get
the money which the farmer has to
spend, but what he saves as well.
They propose to constitute themselves
bankers, as we'll as merchants and
at least one of them has already sent
out thouasnd of circulars letters ask
ing for deposits, upon Mhich the con-
concern proposed to pay interest at
the rate of 6 per cent. This is not
quite 50 "cheeky as the appeal OF
another concern for investments IN It's
heavily watered' stock at 7 per cent
bait being held out in this C; se-but
it is an incident that deserves prompt
attention in several quarters.
County banke0 are deeply interested
of course. If the farmers can be in
duced to do their banking in Chicago
and per cent on savings deposits
will certainly prove great puller II
that direction, banks in the smaller
towns everywhere would be seriously
handicapped.

GENERAL COMPETITIVE EXAM
NATION ON SEPT. %.
For Various Positions Under En-
plOy of the Stdte-Eligible List
Prepared Early in Year Nearly
Exhausted Difficulty in PrOCur-
Certain Kinds of Help.

The State Service Commission issues
notice of general competitive exam
ination to be held on September 22nd,
1906 for the following positions:
Stenographers and typewriters; en-
gineers of stationary steam boilers;
tiremen of steam boilers; prison and
reformatory keebpers and guards;
teacher guards at the Green Bay Re
formatory; supervisors of dairy tests;
oil inspectors at Prairie du chien; ma
chinist at the Uni ersity; attendants
at the hospital for the insane and
feeble minded; assistant auditor at the
University; actuary in the Insurance
Department.
The secretary of the Commission
state that eligible lists prepared
early in the year for the position of
engineer, firemen. prison guards and
attendants have become nearly eX-
hausted. An insufficient number ap-
piled for the position of machinist;
there are at present only two names
on the eligible list.
There have been frequent calls for
good stenographers and typewrlters,
and the present list will be exhaust
ed within the next few months. The
last Legislature enacted law provid
ing that Legislative stenographers, and
clerks with typewritlng ability shall
be chosen by the Civil Service Com
mission. Only men are eligible for
these positions. Legislative steno-
graphers will receive $500 a day
Clerks having typewriter ability, not
stenographers, will leceive $4.00 a
day during the session of the legisla-
ture. Some twenty-five positions in
the legislature must be filled as re-
suit of this forthcoming examination.
The secretary of the Commission
states that the demand for good steno-
graphers seems to exceed the supply.
The Commission has found difficulty
in procuring a sufficient number of
satisfactory applicants for positions as
laundresses and cooks in the various
state institutions.
Persons interested in any of the
above named positions should imme-
diately address the secretary of the
state Civil Service Commission at
Madison, Wiswconsin, stating position
desired and calling for blanks and
printed information.

TROUBLE BREWING
IN SEVENTH WARD
RESIDENTS FAIL TO CLEAN
OUT DRAINAGE DITCH.
Papers Served to Show Cause Why
They Should Not Do SO-UpOn
Order of Supervisors Bredken-
ridge and PrentiSS-SiX to Ap-
pear on Saturday.

There is trouble in the seventh
ward. Several residents have been
served with papers by supervisors F.
H. breckenridge of that ward and
J. F. Prentiss of the First ward to
show couse why they should not be
fined for not cleaning out the ditch
which drains the marsh in the Seventh
ward and which empties in the Rock
river in the First ward, they being the
owners of the property abuLting on the
ditch. The ditch which is recorded
one, it is claimed needs to be cleaned
out SO as to carry off the water and
the owners of the ahutting property
by way of a defense claim that the
water has been too high to admit of
the work required, and that they are
not at fault in the matter. Papers
were served on nine of the parties,
six of whom will appear in Judge
Stacy's court Saturday to answer to
the complaint. Those upon whom
service as made were Fred Buchholz,
Ernst Walter, Fred Fischer, Herman
Stueber, Thomas Hady, Ottilie Para
dies, Andraes Gaenz. Frank Sauer,
Mrs. Carl Henzel. The penalty under
the Statute is a heavy one and it is
hoped that compromise will be effect
ed, the ditch cleaned and the matter
dropped and that hereafter the owners
of the abutting property will not
render it necessary to hale them into
court to preform their duty in the
matter of keeping of the ditch clean
for the sanitary safety of the COM
munity.

JOHN N. NELSON
GETS NOMINATION
PRACTICALLY NO OPPOSITION
TO THE MADISON MAN.
Before Convention and
Gave a Lengthy Speech of ACCep-
tdnCe-Stdte Position on all Mat
terS of Public Concern -VOteWdS
80 to 7-FOr Revision of Tariff.

At the republican congressional con-
ternoon to nominate candidate to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Hon. H. C. Adams, John NJ Nelson
of Dane county was nominated practi-
cally without opposition-a high COM
pliment paid by the republicans of
the Second congressional district.
The organization of the convention
was perfected in the selection of George
Kelley of Green Lake county as chair
nina, and Gustav Buchheit of this
city, as secretary.
1t was foregone conclusion that
Mr.. Nelson would be honored with
the nomination and this became so
pronounced that the convention was
considered only a matter OF form.
The vote stood 80 to T. Four of the
votes against Mr.. Nelson were from
one of the Dane county districts and
three from Marquette county.
After his nomination, Mr.. Nelson
appeared before the convention and
thanked the delegates for the honor
they had conferred upon him, making
him their nominee and in lengthy
speech reiterated that which he had
previously said in his announce
ment as to his position on all matters
of public concern. His theme was
Government by the People, which
he said he would make his keynote.
He turned his oratorical gattling gun
on the trusts and spoke of the necessity
of placing them under the contrul of
the government. One of the strong
points of the address of Mr. Nelson
was his reference to the necessity
and urgent demands for revision of
the tariff, which met with the hearty
approval of his hearers and his re-
marks, especially along this line,
were frequently applauded.

STABbING AFFAIR
IN CLYMAN TOWN
EDWARD w. SCHEMPF RECElV-
ED THREE WOUNDS.
Fred Mundt the Man Who Did
the Carving ACt-ReSult of
Trouble Between the TWO-ViC-
tim Now at His Home in This
City-NO Warrant Yet.

Edward w. Schempf lies sufferin G
at his home on Jones street, the result
of stabbing affair in the town of
Clyman yesterday afternoon in which
ne received three ugly wounds, the
offender being farm laborer by the
name of Fred Mundt.
From information received last eve
ming, it appears that trouble had been
brewing between Mundt and Schempf,
both of who were working on the Leon
ard Schempf farm IN the town of Cly-
man, the owner of the place being the
step-father of the victim of the stab
bing affair. 1t is said that the part
les had an alteration couple of
weeks ago, but finally became recon-
ciled and shook hands and became
friends once more.
Just how the trouble started yester-
day, the Leader representative was
unable to learn 1t is said that the
two men were engaged in harvest
work and were standing on stack of
grain, when Mundt suddenly pulled a
knife and flew at Schempf in rage
and began cutting him. The result
was that Schempf received couple
of bad gashes on the arm and another
bad wound in the chest. The latter,
it is reported, was not far from the
heart, spot the offender no doubt
attempted to reach.
The victim was brought to his home
in this city, where he is now being
cared for. The wounds were dressed
by DR.. Shinnick, assisted by DR.. Hoer-
mann.
Up to late hour last evening no
warrant had been issued for the arrest
of Mundt, but it is understood that
the same will be issued this morning
and an officer sent in pursuit of the
heartless fellow.
