ATE WIRE BY THE YARD.
Thirty-eight Feet Of Picture Cord Found
in ASYLUM Inmates Stomach,

Frank Wallace, an inmate Of the state
hospital for the insane at Norristown,
Pa, ended his life by swallowing thirty
eight feet of fine wire, which was found
In two sections in his stomach when an
autopsy was made to disclose the cause
of death.
Wallace, who was "a years old was
transferred from the Philadelphia coun-
ty prison. He suffered from decisions,
and when he told his caretakers this
week that he was full of wire the
matter was regarded as improbable by
the physicians. He insisted that an oper-
alton would confirm his statements, but
he was too weak to undergo one, and
was informed, by way of an attempt to
cure his supposed deusion, that an oper-
alton would kill him.
''All right; cut me open when I'm gone
and see," said Wallace just before he
died.
The autopsy revealed the presence Of
one piece of wire three feet long rolled
into ball. The other piece was thirty
five feet three inches long and was part
ly rolled into a ball, although twelve feet
Of this had unwound and had worked
and pierced through the intestnes, caus.
ing peritonitis. With the mass of wire
was found piece of broom straw four
inches long. The case is the oldest in
the history of the hospital and the forty
years experience of DR.. ID. ID. Richard
son. The wire was the kind used in
hanging pictures.

TEST LEGACY TAX LAW.
State Supreme Court Will Decide the
Constitutionality of Payments on
Waukesha County Inheritance.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 90 Especial. !
A decision on the inheritance tax law
may come down from the supreme court
tomorrow. Since the law was enacted
in 1903 about 100000 has been paid
into the treasury of the state resulting
from this tax. lnheritanCes of less than
SO, are taxed l per cent, and any
amount over that sum y per cent
\ case to test the constitutionality Of
this law was started some time ago from
Waukesha county. Herman hume
macher, trustee for Edward Vernon
Hull, sues the state for the return of
5000 0S paid into the state treasury UNI
der the law. The Legislature refused to
allow the claim and the case was given
original jurisdiction in the supreme court.
Attorneys for Nunnemacher held that
the law was unconstitutional because the
right to take property by will is n nat
ural right that cannot be taken away by
the constitution and that taxes can only
be levied on property in this state and
not on transmission Of property. Charles
Quarles Of Milwaukee made the principal
argument for the plaintiff and Attorney
General Sturdevant for the state.

Margin Of PROFIT.

The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
al wholesale to many thousands OF
dealers in various parts Of the world.
There are hundreds Of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughtercrs. There are
no secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased IN
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation OF meats is simple in the
extreme, local Strengthening will long
remain a factor in the production OF
fresh meats and provisions.

STUDY GOES FIRST;
AMUSEMENT LATER.
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN FACUL-
TY AIMS TO GIVE STUDENTS
NEWER IDEALS.
Although Now on Par with Harvard, They
Want More Concentration and
Less Entertainment.

| MADISON. Wis, Jan. 29-[Special.l
The idea is prevalent that the faculty
of the University of Wisconsin are aim
ing to make Wisconsin primarily an aca-
demic college. Recent actions of the
| faculty and the attitude of individual
professors and instructors so to indicate
that Wisconsin is for study first, and
amusement some time in the future-the
farther in the future the better.
On Par with Harvard.
A junior or senior from the University
of Wisconsin may, providing his credits
are satisfactory at Madison, enter Ok
ford university without any special eX-
aminations whatever. Such q privilege
means that Wisconsin students and
Wisconsin work is considered equivalent
to the same at Oxford or Harvard.
But still the faculty is striving for
greater superiority and better work by
the students. And they contend that in
order to have better work, more concen-
trated attention must be paid to studies,
less time devoted to society and athlet-
les. and a greater regard in general for
the real purposes of the institution.
Cut Down Amusement Hours.
In order to further their wishes and to
bring about better results, many
changes are apparent so far this college
year. The faculty has abolished abso-
lutely all mid-week parties and limited
other parties to the hour of midnight
Just within the fortnight they have de-
cided that amateur theatricals absorb too
much attention and have therefore for
hidden the production Of the comic opera,
Papa Schmitz," by the Haresfoot Ora
matte club. They say that rehearsals
are by far too numerous to allow stu
dent to do justice to his work. and that
the nervous strain is apt to prove detri-
mental to concentrated study.
Besides these reforms, the Wisconsin
faculty has been the real leader against
present day intercollegiate football i'll the
west. 1t was at their suggestion that
the recent conference held in Chicago
was held and Mt their suggestion that
football was practically suspended.
Game Too Absorbing.
1t is in football that they see the
greatest danger. The game is too alb
sorbing, too full of technicalties and too
full of hard work. 1t requires the at
tention of the whole student body to
bring forward winning team or a pay
ing game.
Therein lies the evil they declare. \
game with such a control over young
men and women must be abolished, they
say, or its attractions dropped so that
during the football season a student will
at least temporarily think of his studies,
