FORETELLS HIS DEATH.
Wisconsin Mans Life Is Crushed Out
on FlyWheeI of Engine.

Roy Dobson, miner, met with an
instant and horrible death at the Sun
set mine at Linden, his life being
literally crushed out. His neck and
back were broken and his body al
most entirely stripped of it's clothing.
Dobson was at work in the engine
room, controlling the hoist. He re-
ceived a signal to start the hoist, and
in attempting to reach the lever he
passed the flywheel. A portion of his
clothing caught in the rapidly revolv-
ing wheel and his body was whilrled
about until life was crushed out. His
dead body remained fastened to the
fast-mOving wheel until it was dis
covered by fellow workmen and the
engine stopped.
Dobson is said to have had a pre-
monition of his death. He is said to
have told a companion only a few
deys before that he feared an accident
would happen to him.
Il don't feel just right" he re-
marked. II prefer to work below,
and when | finish out the week I'm
going to change."-W.

Zanders paper advocates censorship
of patent medicine advertisements
by the publishers, and asks: rs 1t
possible to reduce patent medicine
ads to a basis of truthfulness and
have them survive?" He further says
that publishers must use what per-
suasive powers they have with the
manufacturers of medicines to the
end of purifying their ads, either IN
the direction of greater truthfulness
or less Vulgarity, or both; that pub
fishers who sell space for utterance or
falsehoods and indecencies cannot
escape responsibility; that they do not
even get well paid for publishing I'M
clean matter, but sell themselves pitt
fully cheap.
Mr.. Dunn addressed the association
in support Of his pocket ballot. After

DEAN HENRY TO QUIT.
Head of Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture May Leave.

Head of Wisconsin College of Agri.
culture May Leave.
It IS reported at Madison that Dean
William A. Henry will sever his con
nection with the college of agricul-
ture and the Wisconsin experimental
station at the University of Wisconsin
at the end of the year. He is now in
Connecticut for his health, so the re-
mort cannot be confirmed. 1t is be-
-lieved to be correct, however, as he
has been in ill health for some years
past and has been away from his du-
ties for some months at time. 1t is
known he has contemplated resigning
for some time past.
Dean Henry has been with the uni
versity for twenty-siX years. He came
TO teach botany and agriculture and
five years later was made director OF
the experiment station. He became
dean of the college in 1891. He has
written many books on agriculture
and has attained a wide reputation in
his profession. The agricultural col
lege is looked upon as a child of his
creation and he takes great pride in
the work.
Dean Henry has recently been I'M
der fire before the legislative com
rnittae, but he and his friends main
tain that things are properly run in
his department.

PLAN NEW COUNTY.

A movement has been set on foot
by the Kilbourn Business Mems asso-
citation to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
forming a new county out of parts OF
Adams, Sank, Juneau and Columbia
counties, with Kilbourn as the county
seat. The subject will be considered
at banquet to be held in the near
future, and it is expected the project
will be received favorably. Should
such a bill pass the next legislature,
it would materially affect several
cities in that part of the state. The
matter is being actively canvassed
throughout the territory affected.

Reduction of State Aid to County
Fairs Causes Trouble.
Owing to the Interpretation State
Attorney General Sturdevant has
placed on the law regarding state sup
port of county fairs, the Brown Coun-
ty Agricultural society, together with
managers of county fairs throughout
the state, are likely to be unfavorably
affected. 1t is likely that test case
will be started against the state.
Just what treatment Brown county
will receive is not. known, but it is
thought that the original appropria-
ton expected by the society will be
cut by several hundred dollars. A
more thorough examination of all
county fair reports is being made at
the secretary of states office and so
far, only a few have been completely
audited.

Much excitement prevails at Wey-

of iron ore in what promises to be in
rich paying quantities. Options have
been secured on thousands of acres
tributary to that point and settlers are

There appears to be three distinct

STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
ANDY o'DEA TO QUIT WISCONSIN
Veteran Oarsman Resigns Position OF
Coach of BADGER Navy.

COaCn OF Badger NAVY
Andrew M. O'Dea, coach of the Wis
consin university crews, has resigned
his position to take effect at the END
of this school year. The resignation
was handed to president Bertke OF the
athletic association and will be acted
upon at the next meeting OF the attn
letic board. While O'Dea has been as
sistant in physical culture he will also
give up that work and will leave the
institution when his resignation takes
effect in June.
AS a reason for the resignation Mr..
O'Dea expresses dissatisfaction with
conditions existing there. He had
contract until the end of the school
year in 1907, but prefers not to stay.
He has asked at different times Tor a
boathouse on the Catfish; for a launch
for coaching purposes, and for various
other things in the way Of equipment,
but has not been able to get them.
This year he is without coaching
launch and will depend upon the cour-
tesy of student who has offered the
use Of a motor boat. The boat Will
serve the purpose of coaching but will
carry very few people and ODea
wants boat that could carry two full
crews if a storm arose or anything
happened to the shells.
O'Dea is rounding out his tenth
wear. at the university. He came here
from England in 1896 and that year
took his varsity crew down to row the
Yale freshmen. Wisconsin won and
the next year rowed the Yale varsity,
being defeated by three lengths. In
1898 Wisconsin was third at Saratoga
finishing sixteen feet behind Cornell,
who was second. In 1899 O'Dea
coached at Harvard and the crews
won the three races. In 1900 at Pough-
keepsie the Wisconsin freshmen won
and the varsity was beaten by Is feet.
The following year the varsity took
third, the next year both crews were
second, and the next year all three
were third. The last two years the
four-oared and varsity crews have
gone east and finished last on both oc-
casiOnS.-W.

SUIT AGAINST ELEVATORS.
Wisconsin Courts to Decide Legality
of Tax Assessments.

of Tax Assessments.
Suit is about to be brought by City
Attorney Lyons of Superior against
the elevator companies for about $685.
900 alleged to be due for back taxes
on grain stored in the elevators. 1t is
understood the elevator people will
contest the case to the court of last
resort
When the question of taxing the
grain in elevators came up last Au-
gust the elevator people made a
strenuous fight against what they
termed the illegal action of the board
of review which imposed the tax.
None of the elevator companies has
paid the tax assessed against them,
and in legal circles it is held to be
problematical whether or not the as
sessment will hold in view of the
fact that the city accepted a settle
ment of the taxes imposed on grain
two years ago.
On account of the Great Northern
and Itasca elevators being assessed
by the state, it is understood that
these companies will await the out
come of the present issue to see
whether the city or state has the
right to collect the amount of the as
SeSSment.

AGENTS BECOME ACTIVE.

"Get in Quick" Methods Adopted in
Life Insurance Canvass.
Almost every insurable man among
the wealthy business men and CAPT
talists of La Crosse has, during the
past few days, been solicited by
agents to buy "old line" insurance at
a cost for the first year that is mere
ly nominal, and at the same time
urged to get in quick before laws
are passed that will make it impossi-
BILE for similar inducements to be Of
fered in the future. The policies Of
fered are not made on printed forms,
but are written on typewriters as
special and individual contracts. The
fight for business here was never
more strenuous among the old line in
surance companies.

RAID WISCONSIN SALOONS.
Unknown Men Find Proprietors Ready
to Fight.

An attempt was made to raid the sa-
looms in the town of Hayes, Oconto
county. The saloon of w. Strehlow
was entered and the bungs pulled out
of every barrel. Several hundred dol
lars worth of liquor was lost. The
place was then set on fire but the
flames were extinguished before the
building was destroyed.
Three of the raiders entered the sa-
loon of George Burger, but he engaged
them in fight and the raiders fled,
leaving Burger with dislocated ell
bow and another mans ear as a souV-
enir.
An attempt was also made to enter
Fred Kruschke's saloon, but his dogs
frightened the men away. No one
seems to be able to identify the raid
ers or to offer any explanation of the
raid.
