TO MARCH FOR PRACTICE
Enlisted Men Of Army of Occupation
Instructed to be Uniformly Coar-
teous Toward cubans, Irre-
spective of AffiIiation.

Havana.-1t is the intention of the
provisional government to have the
American troops here make extensive
practice marches throughout the coun-
try This should not be interpreted
as a threatening demonstration; the
step is taken for its moral effect on
the restoration of confidence. In a
general order Gen. j. Franklin Bell
enjoins all officers and enlisted men
OF the American army of occupation to
manifest all possible courtesy to-
wards Cubans of all parties, and to
take no active part in the suppression
OF disorder, except in extreme emer-
gencies rendering interference for
the protection of life and property
necessary. The duties of the Ameri-
can forces are, generally speaking,
limited to the rendering of good offices
for the prevention of friction between
conflicting elements.
Upon the recommendation of Carlos
Garcia Velez, inspector of public
institutions, San Lazaro hospital, in
which there are several hundred lep-
ers, probably will be shortly re-
moved to an island off the northern
coast of Matanzas province The re-
moval of this hospital hiss long been
desired, but the project has been OPP
posed by the wealthy private corpora
ton by which it is controlled.
Americans on the Isle of Pines are
excited over the arrest and imprison-
ment of a countryman named Holmes
burg, on the charge of cutting down a
tree on the boundary line of his own
property. A committee has come from
the island to request Gov Magoon to
depose the present mayor and appoint
as acting mayor Second Lieut.. Robert
Tittoni, of the marine corps.
Second Lieut.. Noble J. Wiley, of
the Fifth infantry, whose discovery
on board the transport Sumner Satur-
day with yellow fever caused five
hours delay in the departure of the
vessel, has been removed to Animas
hospital. His illness was diagnosed
as yellow fever of mild type Lieut..
Wiley boarded the Sumner to go home
on leave of absence. He arrived here
recently on the transport Tarnholm,
and lodged in Havana. He did not
visit Camp Columbia.

According to the New York Trib-
uEe, a country paper lays down this
rule of etiquette: when a lady and
gentleman are walking in the street,
the lady should walk inside of the
gentleman"
1t seems little strange that this
simple rule, so long current among
the cannibal tribes of the Andaman
and other islands, should find its way
into rural journal of more or less
civilization. 1t would appear that the
etiquette editor of the paper in ques-
ton was either too careless or too
hurried to note any exceptions to the
rule. Otherwise he would have ex-
planned that when the gentleman was
thirsty and desired to enter a cafe,
the lady would walk on the outside

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our Special Cores
pondent a Madison.

Madison.-Owing to the great confu-
sion confronting the secretary of state
as to whom to place on the ballot of
the written in" candidates, the state
board of canvassers, composed of At
torney General L. M. Sturdevant
Judge E. Ray Stevens and Judge Fow-
Ter of Portage met in the office of the
secretary of state and certified all
candidates who were written in. The
second meeting of the canvassing
board was necessitated by the fact
that the board met early last Septem-
Der and certified the names of the
different people nominated at that
time but refused to certify the written
in candidates under an opinion of the
attorney general to the contrary
Since that time, however, the supreme
court has reversed the opinion of the
attorney general in the Pray matter
of Ashland and the board was called
together and certified candidates, who
had not filed nomination papers but
who on account of receiving the larg-
est number of votes at the primary
on their respective tickets were en-
titled to go on the ballot. Following
the meeting of the board orders were
sent to the county clerks in the vari-
Gus districts where a candidate had
been nominated by the writing in pro-
cess commanding the clerks to place
these candidates SO nominated on the
ballot.

Want Devils Lake for Park.


The state legislature will be asked
purchase of the DEVILS lake region,
composed of 1000 acres, the two prin-
cipal owners being Senator William
F. Villas and l.. w. Claude, both of
Madison. For several years there has
been growing agitation in the state
for the purchase of this land, to be
used as a state park on account of
the beautiful scenery. Devils lake is
situated in nearly the geographical
center of southern and most thickly
populated part of Wisconsin. 1t is four
miles from the city of Baraboo and 30
miles from Madison. The region was
recently explored by President Charles
r. Van Hise, as a geologist The
region is picturesque and has album
dance of trees and wild game. w. H..
McFetridge of Baraboo, chairman of
the Baraboo local committee in charge
of the proposed project, is interesting
the people of Madison in the under
taking. He says he has met with en-
couragement everywhere. THE land
about the lake is owned principally by
Senator Villas, Mr.. Claude and Mrs.
N. G. Kirk of Kirkland he said. ION
the eastern slope of the bluff a Penn
sylvania concern has installed a stone
crusher. 1t is partly to prevent a
complete destruction of the bluff that
the matter should be taken UP by the
legislature this winter"

Production of Cheese Doubled.

One hundred and ten million pounds
of cheese>were made in Wisconsin last
year, almost twice as much as was
produced five years ago, according to
the University of Wisconsin agricul-
tural experiment station bulletin on
1.-THE Development of Factory Dairy
ing in Wisconsin" which has just
been prepared by Prof. H. L. Russell,
of the Wisconsin college of agriculture
and u. S. Baer, assistant dairy and
food commissioner Besides the in
crease in production from 100000
pounds of cheese in 1900 to 10,00O,0 900
pounds in 1905, the statistics show the
addition of 118 new cheese factories,
or nearly 40 new factories each year.
The amount of butter manufactured in
creameries of the state has increased
60 per cent. in the past five years, the
figures showing 55,000,000 pounds for
1900 and 88,500,000 pounds in 1906
The butter made on farms has grown
from 25,0O0,000 pounds in 1900 to 34,-
100000 pounds in 1905, an increase of
SO per cent. 1t is evident from this
that factory dairying is increasing
relatively faster than the home pro-
duction of the farms.

Consider Byproduct Rate.

The state railway commission is
holding hearing in response to its
own ruling on rates for byproducts as
charged by railways. operating in Wis
consin. There is one rate for lumber
and another for wood, but none for
pine clippings, slabs, etc., which are
shipped extensively for fuel and other
purposes. 1T is not the granting Of
the lower rate for wood refuse that we
object to-" said William Ellis, repre-
sentative for the Milwaukee & ST..
Paul, sbut it is the open door which
such rates will create if the refuse
rates are not wholly defined"

ship" is to be established at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin as result of
the movement started by a number OF
prominent German-Americans. The
plan is to raise an endowment of $780,,
600, the income of which will be used
for the establishment of an annual
course of lectures at the state univer-
sity to be given by prominent profess
sors of German universities. This
memorial professorship to be held by
German university professors will be
the first of the kind in any American
state university. 1t is hoped that the
establishment of this new chair will
lead to the exchange of professors be-
tween the University of Wisconsin
and German universities. A similar
plan of exchange of professors has
just been entered upon between Column
bia university and the University Of
Berlin, through the establishment at
the University of Berlin of the Theo-
dore Roosevelt professorship in Ameri-
can history.

Develops Fine Seed Corn.

A variety of corn that yields from
Is to 100 bushels of shelled corn per
acre has been developed at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin college of agri-
culture experiment farm by Agrenom-
list Ransom A. Moore. This corn,
which is known as wisconsin No. Z,
or Silver King" is the triumph OF
four years experimentation by Prof.
Moore, and shows the possibility of
producing phenomenal results by care
full methods of selection. Twenty-Five
acres of this corn have just been har-
vested on the university farm, pro-
ducing Is bushels, shelled, per acre.
The Importance of this variety is evil
dent when this yield is compared with
the average yield of the United States,
which is only 80 bushels, or the av-
erage of the state of Wisconsin, which
is but 33 bushels. Members of the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
association, who are graduates of the
short course in agriculture, have been
growing this corn under the direction
of Prof Moore ON their farms, and
have obtained from 80 to 100 bushels
per acre. Last year 275 graduates OF
the short course in II counties of the
state tried Silver King corn, and re-
ported an average yield of 592 bush
els, shelled, per acre, against an av-
erage yield of 1872 bushels for the best
of all other varieties.
