Madison, Jan. 5.

Madison, Jan. 5.
The Wisconsin state fish commits
sion held it's semi-annual meeting in
the capitol yesterday. superintendent
James Nevin presented his report,
showing the work of the commission
under his charge. He reported total
of 61,252,000 eggs of brook trout, lake
trout and whitefish in the hatcheries.
The collection of rainbow trout, pike
and muskellunge eggs, which is made
in the spring, will increase the above
number to perhaps 150,000,000.
On account of the prevailing stormy
weather on the great lakes during
the past fall, during the spawning sea-
son, of the lake trout the collection OF
eggs of that species is not so large as
usual.
The commission transacted routine
business, among the most important
matters being the decision to order
plans for the new building at the
Monocqua hatchery, and the eXamina-
ton of titles to property at Delafield,
Wis, on which the commission has an
option and contemplates the estab-
lishment of a black bass hatchery.
PickereI for Madison Lakes.
Of particular interest to fishermen
of Dane county is the fact that the
commission decided to hatch large
quantity of pickerel spawn for plant
ing in the four lakes of the vicinity of
Madison. The eggs will be collected
on the Yahara river which runs
through the lakes and connects them,
during the early spring when the fish
go up into the creeks to spawn, and
will be fortified and developed in the
hatcheries.
All the members of the commission
were present at the meeting excepting
William j. Starr of Eau Claire, who
informed the board that he was de-
Ilayed on account of trains being tied
up by the snow.
There were present Calvert Spens-
LEY of Mineral Point, Dr. E. A. Birge
of Madison, J. J. Hogan of La Crosse,
Henry D. Smith of Appleton, Jabe AL
ford of Madison and Dr.. A. A. Dye of
Madison. The latter was present for
the first time, having recently been
appointed by Governor La Toilette.

Since the life of such poles is de-
termined by the decay at the ground
line. only the section from the bottom
of the pole to about two feet above
the ground line needs to be treated.
Creosote is expensive, and if the
whole pole must be treated the added
wears of service may not compensate
for the outlay-it may be cheaper to
use two untreated rather than one
treated pole. But if an effective meth
cd of treating not more than or 10
feet of pole can be found, there is
every reason to expect that treatment
will prove profitable to the users of
poles as well as an economy of forest
material.

RUSSIAN GHOST STORIES.
How Murder Was ReVealed-Strange
Warning of Death.

In a certain town in the province OF
Minsk, West Russia, a peasant sud
denly disappeared. He was last seen
alive leaving his church and going
home to his sister, with whom he liv-
ed.
One day, in a dream, his sister saw
her brother. He looked pale, his eyes
were closed, and his legs were brok-
en-. He told her that he had been
murdered by her husband and
his brothers. He mentioned the eX-
act date and place of the deed, and
added that his boy was put into a sack
and thrown into the river. He want
ed her to find his body and to have ii
buried in the family grave.
This dream was repeated several
times, and at last the sister sought
the advice of her aged father-in-law
He told her that it would be difficult
to find the body, and if the culprits
were brought to justice her children
would be left orphans; so, after con
sideration, the sister gave the matter
up.
But ner brothers spirit would not
rest, and appeared in a dream in the
above manner to a friend of his
Soon the news spread to the local au
thorities, who took the matter up
The river was searched, and the body
was found in the exact spot indicated

LIFE OF TELEPHONE POLES.
Preservatives Applied to Portion in
the Ground.

During the past years thefOrest serv-
ice, in cooperation with the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany and the Postal Telegraph-Ca
company, has been making an investi-
CATION to find the best methods of
seasoning telephone poles and of
treating them with preservatives.
Fifty green poles were furnished
every month to each of five expert
mental stations. Each pole was ex-
posed to the open air, and was
weighed every month until it ceased
to lose weight. The rate at which
weight was lost showed the rate of
seasoning in different months.
After one year of seasoning, pre-
servative treatment was applied to
the poles, beginning last spring. Sew
eral different personalities and three
different methods of applying the pre-
servatives were Experimental with.
Most of the poles at two of the sta
tions-WilmingtOn and Pisgah, n. c.
were treated by applying the pre-
sentative with a brush. In few cases
a cap or plate was fitted to the butt
of the pole and creOsOte forced In by
a pump, but with unsatisfactory re-
suits. Both chestnut and juniper
poles were treated in these methods.
To test the efficacy of the treatment
as a preventative against decay these
poles, carefully numbered and labeled
"a. q -
experimental section of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
between Savannah and Meldrim, Ga.
Each treated pole is set between
green and a seasoned pole, so that the
absolute and relative values of the
different personalities will be fully
tested
The third method of applying the
preservative is that from which the
best results are expected. This meth
cd was applied to chestnut poles only.
At Dover, n J., in addition to the ex-
ternal applications, a number of sea-
soned poles were treated in an open
tank, constructed to permit the treat
ment of 30-foot poles inclined at an
angle of 20 degrees. n this tank the
poles are boiled in creosote for sew
eral hours. They are then shifted to
a tank of similar construction con-
tanning cold creosote. in which they
stand for several hours, or are left in
thehot oil to cool down gradually This
treatment covers the pole with creo-
sote to a distance of from s TO 10 feet
from the butt. Up to this time pen
etration of one inch and an absorption
per pole of 35 to 40 pounds of creosote
have been obtained. Changes in the
method of operation are almost daily
increasing the depth of penetration
and amount of absorption. This is
the first apparatus of this character
constructed in the United States for
impregnating the butts Of telephone
and telegraph poles, and the success
which is being attained with it indi-

NEWS IN WAR TIME.
England Is Studying How to Control
the Circulation of War News

The Baltimore News.-The control
of news in war time is being dis
cussed in England. The value of
secrecy to a belligerent nation is OF
vital importance. Everyone realizes
what an advantage Japan had by
keeping the whereabouts OF her
armies and ships unknown to the
world. Toxic was the silent city of
the war The news that came over
the cable told only of results. In
fact, the censor went so far as to
refuse the confirmation of some re-
suits. For example, it was not I'M
ill after the battle of the Sea of ia
pan that Toxic announced the sink
ing of the baftleship Yashima by a
mine while blockading Port Arthur.
The Yashima went down on May Is,
1904, but it was not until June /,
1905, that Toxic blandly bulletined:
''The necessity of secrecy no longer
existing, the navy department an
nOunces the loss of the battleship
Yashima," etc. OF course, the news
agencies had reported the loss of the
Yashima from Chinese ports long
before that, but the silence of Toxic
was an example of her control Of the
issue of war news. In st. Peters
burg the correspondents were given a
free hand, and column after column
of speculative matter was cabled
from the czar's capital during the en-
gagements of Liaoyang and Mukden,
while telegraph editors the world
over waited for the official bulletin
OF Japan which told who won. Not
how it happened, but what happened.
In the House of Lords recently
Lord Peterborough brought up the
question of the English government
taking steps to control the dfssem-
ination of news in case of an emer-
gency. He pointed out that millions
OF pounds are expended yearly for
the maintenance of cavalry for land
service and scouts and cruisers for
sea service whose chief business dur
ing war would be to ascertain what
the enemy was doing, and asked it
it was not desirable to take steps
that would prevent the issue of such
news as would inform an enemy of
England's warlike proceedings. Con.
sidering the success of the japanese.
he suggested that the laws and
proclamations of Japan bearing on
the subject be transmitted to both
houses of parliament, so that the
public could study the question as to
whether England's laws needed alter
alton.
Lord Peterborough called attention

Madison, Jan. 3.
Eight head of cattle belonging to II.
A. Steinhauer of Blooming Grove,
which we're affected with tuberculosis,
were appraised yesterday forenoon
preparatory to their shipment. Inc
entire herd was tested about a week
ago with the result that eight were
condemned. The appraisers were Alex
E. Friedrich John Siggelko and Carl
F. Fischer. The cattle were not
slaughtered, but were shipped yester-
day afternoon on the Milwaukee & st.
Paul road to Chicago, where they Will
be slaughtered in one of the large abit-
toirs under the supervision OF govern
ment inspectors. This is done in con-
formity with the amendment to the
tuberculosis and veterinary law,
which was enacted by the legislature
at the last regular session. According
to this amendment, slightly affected
cattle may be shipped to large slaugh-
ter houses. and if the affectatiOn is not
severe enough to be dangerous, the
government officials will allow the
meat to be sold; if otherwise, 1t is
condemned. Cattle may often be but
slightly affected; that is, they may
have had the disease but a short time,
and the meat thereof is still fit to eat.
Mr.. Steinhauer, who supplied Madi-
son people with milk, has given up his
route.

Just how Joseph F. Smith is regard.
ed in Utah is an interesting side light
on Mormonism in view of the recent

words of prominent church member:
Joseph F. Smith is president of the
Mormon church. re is the vice regent

God, and is to us, when he speaks, the
voice of God. His word is clOtheu
with Suprem authority when speaking
in his official capacity. We can dis
obey him through our free agency
But in doing this we assume the re
sponsibility of rejecting the counct'
of God, which no man will lightly do.
AS to his testimony at Washington, !
consider it the finest exhibition the
world has ever witnessed of fearless,
truthful, loyal man. Our young men
approve of President Smiths fearless
candor as before the senate committee
he earnestly announced the truth, AID
defended orr divine institution, going
so far as to state that he was will
