it would be suicidal to wear anything

Money for Wisconsin Cities.


According TO the agreement reached
| upon the omnibus public building bill
reported to the lower house OF con-
gress, Wisconsin will receive AL ag-
gregate appropriation for the purchase
of sites and for the erection of the
new buildings in the state, aggregat-
ing S430,500 AS the bill was original
ly agreed upon in the committee, the
amount was 5000 more, but in the
pairing down process to keep the bill
within the necessary limits, FNnosha
lost $4,000 from the $4,000 originally
fixed. Thirteen cities in the state are
recognized by the provisions of the
bill. In several of these cities the
government already owns the ground
upon which the buildings will be erect
ed, and in some instances the amounts
authorized by the bill provide for ad-
ditions or increases of the original
sums required to complete the struc-
lures already begun. The $2,500 pro-
videG tor Baraboo is to complete the
structure noy under way. In Chippe-
wa Falls the government owns a site
and $4,000 is authorized for new
building For Appleton $4,000 is au-
thorizpd with which to purchase a
site. In Marinette the government
owns ground and $4,000 is carried in
the present bill for the erection of a
building. The sum of $50, 900 carried
for the city of Wausau is an additional
approp' lation to complete the struc-
ture Tor that city. In Manitowoc $75,-
600 is proposed for new b.ilding. For
Sheboygan $4,000 is provided for addi-
tions to the public building in that
city. The sum of $4,000 carried for
Eau Claire is an increase in the aggre-
gate cost and according to the terms
or the bill as reported, the secretary of
the treasury is authorized in his dis
cretion to acquire such additional land
as he may deem necessary for the en-
largement of the present site The
limit OF the cost Of the public building
at Green Bay is increased by the terms
OF the bill and an additional appropria-
ton os 10000 for that purpose is pro-
vided. new building and site are
authorized for Platteville at cost of
$4,000 with the expectation that the
site will cost about $4,000. Provision
is made for the purchase of sites In the
cities of Waukesha and Watertown,
the authorized expenditure for the site
in Waukesha being $4,000 and in Wa

Democrats Declare for BRYAN,

William jennings Bryan was in
dorsed strongly as the Democratic
candidate for president in 1908 by the
Democratic state convention at Mil
wankee. No state ticket was nom.
mated, that work being left to the
primaries, which are to be held later
in the summer. The only work of
the convention. therefore. was the in
dorsement of Bryan and the adoption
of platform. The leading feature of
the platform is the demand for mu-
nicipal ownership. The platform.
outside Of the features mentioned
makes many demands and favors
many things among others the fol-
lowing; I'VE demand a strict en-
forcement Of existing civil and Grim
inal statutes against all trusts com
binations and monopolies We favor
revision of the present tariff. and
hold that the tariff duty should be
levied for the purposes OF revenue.
We favor placing on tne free list any
commodities now supplied by trusts
or monopolies. We believe in the
principles of the income tax" Be-
fore the convention adjourned a mo-
tion was put and carried that the

County Death Rate Low.

During the year 1905, 775 people died
of 81 different causes of death in Dane
county. This is death rate of 1123
per thousand, which Is considered COM
paratiYely low. The rate computed by
the department of vital statistics for
Madison alone was 10 "a, which is a
slight increase over the number of
deaths in the county. These figures
bear cut the old rule that it is more
healthful to live in the country than
II the city.

preparation of $650,000 was made for
the procuring of plans and the con-
