st. Petersburg. Nov. 10.-The process Of

the railroad cannot vote Will exclude co
per cent of these classes. or 10. 900 out Of
27S,000 men from voting. The exclusion
embraces all machinfsts, signaimen,
guards, and repair shop workmen. Be
sides these the decision removes from the
voting list 5000 employees OF factories
owned by the ministers of war and ma
rine in st. Petersburg. who were allowed
TO vote at the last election.
The senate has also made a sweeping
reduction in the peasant vote by excluding
those who bought land from the Peasants
Bank. from the register Of freehold voters.

The Clock Plant.

There is a plant, a native Of Borneo,
which is known as the "clock plant. :"
The name is derived from the action
of the suns rays on the leaves, which
are three in number, a large one ex-
tending forward, with two small ones
at the base pointing sideways These,
coming in contact with the rays of the
sun, Oscillate like the pendulum Of
clock, the larger leaf moving upward
and downward, going its full length
every forty-five minutes, the smaller
leaves moving toward the larger, COM
plotting the distance forward and back
ward every forty-five minutes, thus re
sembling the hour and minute hands
of a clock.

AMERICANS BUY POOR LAND.

COIOnists in Cuba Give Too Much At.
tentiOn to Low Prices.
1t must be remembered that there Is
some very poor land as well as much
very good land in Cuba. In only too
many cases the buyers ethics did not
know or did not care about the quality
Of their purchases if only the price
was low enough. Flowery prospectus
es, with pictures of beautiful tropical
scenes, and luscious fruits, and most
extravaganza statements as to the pro-
fits to be derived from the products
of the few acres, were scattered broad
cast, especially in the United States,
Large commissions were given to can
vassers and the work was merely be-
gun of unloading worthless acres that
cost only 50 or So on unsophisticated
teachers, clerks and railroad men at
prices ranging all the way from SIS
or $50 to $50 or more per acre.
During the early days Of my resi-
dence in Cuba had the good fortune
to travel some distance by rail with a
typical representative of the most
charming class, the well-to-dO Cuban
planter Ny friend was educated in
France, had travelled much ii Europe,
and had resided for many years in the
States. He was thoroughly posted on
Cuban agriculture and was keenly alive
to any suggestion as to the means by
which existing conditions could be i'm
proved.
He talked entertainingly and instruc-
lively of the country through which we
were passing, pointing out With unerr-
ing judgment the best cane lands,
others that were suitable for tobacco,
and still others that were Useful only
for pasturage. Finally, the charact-
er of the country began to change and
we came into a region where the scanty
vegetation proclaimed only too clearly
the poorness of the soil.
"And what" 1 said, "do you consider
this land is good fOr?'
This" he said, $50 far as know,
is good only to sell to American colo
nists. World To-day.

WEALTH OF WISCONSIN.
J. ID. Beck, Commissioner of Labor
and Statistics, Issues Report.

J. ID. Beck, Commissioners of Labor
and Statistics, Issues Report.
According to the report of Commits
SINGER J. D. Beck of the bureau of labor
and statistics, Wisconsin leads in the
value of its dairy products, in its tim
Der, the leather industry and that it can
lead all other States in the cement indus
try, in manufactures, in the tobacco in
dustry. in the beet sugar industry, and
others. Wisconsin has a larger amount
Of water power than any other State ia
the Union, barring New York with Nj
agara Falls. The report shows that
there is about 100000 horse power in
total number of boilers in the State
while there is nearly twice that amount
of horse power in the rivers Of the State
and less than One-fOurth of it is develop
ed. There is yet enough undevelOped
water power in Wisconsin to run the en-
tire factory system of the State of Mas
sacbusetts, the foremost factory State in
the Union. The factory inspectors reach
ed nearly 10000 employees in Wisconsin
within the last year and improvements
were made in the various factories Of the
State for the better protection of life
and health of employees amounting 10
nearly a quarter Of a million dollars.
Theer have been fifty prosecutions of the
child labor law, and child labor has de
creased in Wisconsin in the last year
about 90 per cent. The bureau has in
spected all the mines in the State for the
first time. One part is a report on man
ufacturers' returns and deals with CAPT
tai invested in the 5000 factories in the
State, number Of employees, wages paid,
value of product, cost of materials, ex-
penses, etc. An appendix treats with the
industrial chronology of Wisconsin for
1906. This takes up all the strikes,
lockOuts and new industries. The liquor
traffic, tenement conditions, particularly
ID Milwaukee, cooperative businesses are
dealt with in the report

the boat, and the four sailors, two Of
whom were niggers of some sort,
showed off, and away they went again.
"Well, we carried the woman up to
the house and placed her in a chair,
and the moment my wife took off the
wooden wrapper that covered her head
and shoulders she cried out that there
was blood running down her neck And
it didn't take me long to discover that
the woman was dying from a bullet
wound in the back Of her head.
I'VE did all that we possibly could
for the poor thing, but she never re-
gained consciousness, and toward sun
rise she died quietly. There was moth
ing about her clothing to slow who
she was, but she wore rings such as
would belong to a woman Of some po-
sitiOn. That she had been murdered
could not doubt, and perhaps some
day, even after all these years, the
crime may come to light"
''But what became of the ship?" ask
ed the mate of the Indiana.
''Out Of sight by s O'clock in the
morning. AS soon as 1 saw what was
the matter with the woman l knew
that we need not expect to sac any one
from the ship back again.
Il wonder what the true story of
that woman's death WASP" said Pack
enham, thOughtfully, as he looked to-
ward the place where she was buried.
Heaven only knows" answered the
old trader. whether 1t was a mutiny
and her husband was murdered, or
whether the officer who came ashore
with her was the captain himself, and
her husband as we'll, canOt tell. Any
way, / have since learned that there
never was a ship named the Inca
Prince. I've told the story to every
ship master I've met since that night
and it was written about a good deal
in the English and American newspa.

we can talk to the government. Will you
please tell the honorable commissioners for
us that there are many old and sick IN
dams, who we arc afraid will starve to
death if they do not get some provisions.
The rabbits are nearly all gone in the
woods, we are not allowed to kill any
deer or moose, and we can't catch any
fish to live on. The snow is so deep that
we can't get our timber out to sell and
we are told that we can't sell any Of
our pine this winter. We don't know
how we are going to live. Does the gov
eminent want us to die? God put US on
earth to live and gave US the moose, deer,
and fish to use in making our living. He
gave us the moose and deer to eat and
the hides to make mOcassins to use and
to sell to make a living for our children.
God also gave us the forest and all the
timber to sell and make living for our
children ("

Do you know why the sun is bright to-day?
Why the flowers are decked in so fair arrayI
Why all this wide world is SO glad and gay?

Such world of joy from so small a throat!
A message to me his carols float

Do you know why the same glad song is mine?
Why my face is rejecting Gods own sunshine?
Why my being is filled with a JOY divine?
Ny dearest is coming home!
He Is coming home From the toll and stress,
Coming to cheer all my loneliness,
And to list to the love that my lips confess,

He is coming home to the arms that wait,
To clasp him forever, whate'er his fate,
To guard him in high or low estate!

MADISON TO PAY ALL.

Failed to Make Agreement as to Al
Iowance for $4,000 Pavement.
Owing to the failure of the city Of
Madison to comply with the provision Of
the law which allowed the municipality
$4,000 toward the building of an asphalt
street about the capitol park, a special
act Of the Legislature may be required to
pay it or Madison may ultimately have
to pay the whole amount for the capitol
pavement The matter was settled by
the law Of 1901, chapter 400, which pro
vided { at an agreement should be made
or entered into between the city and the
State prior to the laying of the asphalt.
This agreement never was made. Secre-
tary Of State Houser refused to audit the
voucher.
