Large Haul of Carp.

Under the supervision of Deputy Game
Warden John Buckley, Thompson broth
ers made haul of carp and buffalo fish
Sunday from Lake Koshkonong. In
making the haul 1900 yards of seine were
used and $4,000 pounds of the sucker
tribe were hauled out and landed at
Sinker's bay.
This is the largest haul ever made
from that lake, which is the breeding
place of the obnoxious fish which are in
Testing the waters of the lakes of south
ern Wisconsin. The haul brought out
1000 pounds of game fish also. These
were thrown back into the water only
three being killed.
A week previous the same parties
made a haul of 10000 of the carp and
buffalo fish. They are barreled and
shipped to the eastern states where they
are considered table delicacy. Four
car loads were made up from the last
catch.

Operation Saved Diphtheria Patients.

Last week DR.. Iverson twice performed
an operation which hitherto has never
been ventured in this city, thereby saw
ing the lives of two little fellows-sons
of Sever f. Olson and Andrew Holton-
from being choked while i'll with diph-
liberia. The operation. which in surgery
is known as tracheotomy, consists in cut
ting open the wind-pipe and inserting
therein silver tube for the child to
breathe through, after which the pa
tent is resuscitated by artificial respira-
ton as in the case of drowning. Both
of the little patients are doing we'll and
will soon be fully recovered. The opera
ton demands exceptional skill and must
be done as rapidly as possible is,
in two Or three minutes. Our city has
in DR.. Iverson surgeon who seems cap
able of performing any operation that he
undertakes and who is achieving merited
success in his surgery.-Stoughton Hub.

Bro Crosse gave the people of
Stoughton a genuine surprise this week
by launching the Daily Hub that already
starts out with evidences that it will be
gladly welcomed. Our contemporary
doubtless we'll knows that it means lot
of hard work as we'll as heavy expense
to get out daily paper, but the people
of Stoughton are enterprising and know
a good thing when they see it, so we
have no fears but the Daily Hub will
prove a winner. Good luck to it.
The Holden Bros. will present the
mel odrama, 1.-The Denver Express" This
play has achieved one of the hits OF lass
season. 1t contains liberal portions of
rafting comedy and dramatic thrills. 1t
is built up of material that appeals to
theater goers who admire simple virtues.
The villain can always be relied upon to
merit the honest hatred of his audiences,
and the comic gentleman has an iron
bound contract with the audience that
he be given an opportunity to furnish a
laugh every thirty minutes. "The Den
yer Express" admits of novel scenic eff
fects and the company presenting it has
we'll established reputation for effec-
tive work. The engagement is booked
for next Tuesday night, Oct. 30th, at
Royal hall.

Dane County Farmer Killed in a Runaway
Charles Lease, farmer living near
Westport, was found dead by the road
side one mile north of Mendoza station
Tuesday morning, where he had prob
ably been thrown by his team in run
away accident about midnight. He came
to Madison Monday and was returning
home about IL o'clock when last seen.
The next morning his team was found
tangled near the gate posts of his home.
Suspicion was at once excited, search
was instituted and the body was found
about three, quarters of mile from his
home on the Westpor Dad.

Mrs James Duffy died at the home

held from St. Joseph's church Friday
morning.
Madison and other cities of the state
cannot understand why Edgerton was
favored in getting White Sox date
while they failed. 1t is because this city
is the home of thoroughbred sports and
they generally bring down what they go
out after.
With a special base ball train run
ming from Madison and another return
ing to Milwaukee after the game, the
railway people are cooperating in getting
big crowd to Edgerton Friday to see
the White Sox champions. If the wealth
er remains fine large attendance will
welcome Will Sullivan and his world
beaters It will be an event long 20 be
remembered.
The Champions Will Be Here + riday.
The old time base ball enthusiasm
which has been dormant in Edgerton for
some years past is very likely to break
'out afresh today when the White Sox
champions come to town. There was a
time when Edgerton recognized that no
town was more loyal to the great nation
al game, but that was some time ago
when our own Will Sullivan won his
first spurs on the diamond right here.
Now when he comes back to his native
heath everybody who has spark of en-
thusiasm left in his veins is expected to
come out and welcome him. We have
always witnessed with pride Sullivan
advancement in the professional leagues
and when he comes back to US as one of
the leaders of the champions we take off
our hats, grasp his hand and congratu-
late him on his success.
Weather permitting. it will be big
day in Edgerton Friday an event to be
remembered. 1t is rare that the big
clubs ever come out into the country for
exhibition games, and it is probably on
Will Sullivan's account that the club
have consented to stop here. They want
to meet some of Willie's early day base
ball friends, and it is an honor too that
Edgerton appreciates. The White Sox
will have no walkaway either. There
will be pitted against them team that
will make them play ball just as if they
were trying to win the pennant.

A Brahmin ecclesiastic who recently
lectured at All Souls church, Kansas
City, throws some light upon the mis-
sionary situation in India. In mart
he said: ''We're overstocked with
Christian missionaries. Ninety per
cent of those we have are senseless.
Furthermore, we don't want YOUR re-
ligion and your holy book. We have
more religion of our own than we
know what to do with, a surplus that
we'd like to export. So, I pray YOU
Americans, keep your so-called mis-
sionaries at home. If you want to
Christianize us send us some men that
are qualified to teach, philosophers
that know their own scripture. Until
then the Vedas, our four books 81
philosophy, are good enough for us.
Show me country where mission.
aries have been that is prospernns.

Fish That Fall UPWARDS.

Like a rocket" said the captain,
"a big fish shot out of the water, and
Immediately burst into hundred
pieces. I thought there had been a
submarine explosion, but it was only
nature.
"The fish, you see, was one of those
deep-water fellows that fall upwards.
These fish live three or four miles
down, where the pressure is incon-
ceiyably great so great that man,
If he could get down there, would be
crushed into a jelly-and they have to
be careful about swimming up, for if
they go a yard too far, they begin to
fall.
"'They begin to fall upwards, and
faster and faster they rise, till, finally,
they shoot right out of the water and
burst. If you don't believe this, ask
any scientist.
cit speaks we'll for the prudence
and the wisdom of the deep-sea fishes
that so few Of them ever fall up
wards. -:

That highly exciting aquatic exer-
else, rocking the boat, is again in evil
dence, and, from personal observa-
tlon, we note that it partakes largely
OF the nature of a scientific feat. This
feat consists in grading a boat so
that its upper edge comes as near as
possible to the surface of the water
without swapping the craft or drown
ing its occupants. IT'S true that an
unskillful manipulation occasionally
loses his life, and sometimes a boat
load of companions are drowned. but
this is very unimportant item when
we take into consideration the DELIGHT
full recreation and scientific test which
the operation affords. Even in the
American game of football-which
many athletic instructors contend is
the most harmless amusement extant
the loss of life or two occasionally
results.

Hot Water Replaces Hens.

At Canon City, Colo, a novel ex-
pertinent is being made by a resident
who last summer purchased the Atlas
artesian we'll about two miles east of
the city. He is utilizing the warm
water of this we'll, which has a tenn
perature of 100 degrees, for Matching
and brooding chickens on large
scale.
About nine weeks ago, as an expert
ment, he placed nine eggs in water
tight wooden box and placed it in the
fume that conveys the water from the
we'll to nearby ditch. In due time
he removed the box, and found
chicken in each egg. He at once be-
gan planning for the establishment of
a hatchery and chicken ranch on an
extensive scale.
Incubators specially constructed
are being made and will be placed
so as to be in continual contact with
the running water, which furnishes an
ideal incubation, supplying the neces-
sary moisture which the ordinary
patent incubator fails to do.-Chicago

A dispatch from Odessa says that
Japan is quietly: but Systematically,
preparing for another campaign
against Russia, and the belief is that
its next attempt will be to drive the
Muscovites from eastern Asia. Should
the little yellow fellows undertake this

that-despite the existing peace treaty

Russia has proved herself but a big

her from the territory which she stole,
the little nation is entitled to praise
rather than censure.

POTATOES IN CHICAGO.
Market Firmer on Old Stock and New
Spuds Arriving.

market F1rmer on Old Stock and New
Spuds Arriving.
The potato market opened this week
With rather easy feeling on account
OF a liberal supply Of leftover stock.
Later in the week receipts were lighter
and the market was firmer.
The demand for seed stock is prac-
ideally through for this season and
trading is confined practically alto
gether to eating potatoes. More or
less trouble has been reported on ac-
count OF some cars being inferior,
but the percentage of rotten stock is
not thought to be in excess of what is
marketed every year about this time.
There is no use saying that the infer
lor, rotten stock has to 90 at low
price, but many growers appear to
have not learned that they invite
loss when they send such potatoes to
market.
However, the general run of stock
has been satisfactory and the tendency
OF the market is in an upward direc-
ton. Buyers have been slow to pay
higher prices. Thursday there we're
only 70 cars received and less than
LOO cars and parts of cars were re-
ported on track and there was an in
dlcation of an advance of a cent or
two in the market but prices were left
unchanged. The feeling was very
firm and outside prices we're easier
to obtain for fancy Rurals and Bur-
banks. One car of Rurals sold at 81
cents.
New potatoes have been coming more
freely and there is a good demand for
fine stock. Fresh Bermudas have
brought Sc a barrel while some held
over stock has been selling from day
to day at around S.. Floridas and
Georgia reds run from 81 to $3.50.
Louisiana hampers sell around So.
New Florida Triumphs in bushel
boxes sell from S1.5O to s1.75.
AS new stock comes on the market
there will be gradual tapering off in
the trade on old stock, but it is
thought that new potatoes will not
get down in price for some time to
come where they will figure as an ac-
tive competitor with old potatoes.
