DRAWING JURY
IN KABAT CASE
OVER 100 MEN CALLED IN FAMOUS
CASE TRIAL OF WHICH WILL
OPEN AT APPLETON.
BIG CROWD SEES PRISONER.
Hundreds Gather at Depot to See AL
legged Slayer of Michael Mccarthy
Return from Oshkosh.
MORE ARRESTS MAY BE MADE.

APPLETON, Wis, June III pc-
cial. AT , o'clock this afternoon spe-
cal venire consisting of 1856 men APP
pearcd in the courtroom from which
will probably be selected jury of
twelve men who will decide the fate Of
Wenzel l.. Kabat, the Reedsyile man
who Is accused of one of the most hend-
sh murders ever committed in Wiscon-
sin, being charged with killing Michael
Mccarthy, Il wealthy Kaukauna farmer.
for the purpose of gaining possession Of
his farm. valued at $1,000.
kabat is said to have shot and killed
Mccarthy and later burned his body i'll
a huge bonfire which is known to have
burned ON the Mccarthy farm for two
days and nights after the mysterious
disappearance of the owner.
Big Crowd in Appleton.
A crowd was at the Northwestern
depot i'll this city ut noon today when
the accused man, handcutfed and guard
ed by Sheriff Koch and two deputies,
arrived from Oshkosh, where he had
been confined for some time the local
bastile having been considered unsafe
for his retention. In the courtroom at
the opening of the trial standing room
was ut premium, several hundred per-
sons being in the city from out of town,
having come here to hear the trial.
Task in Getting Jury.
Indications are that the first two days
will be occupied in obtaining Il jury and
it is highly probable that others aside
from the special ycnire will have to lac
summoned before twelve unprciudicel
men can be found. The case through
the widespread publicity obtained
through the medium of state newspa-
pers, is perhaps the best known murder
case in the history of Wisconsin.
To Call Many Witnesses.
With the exception of relatives and at
torneys no one has been allowed TO con
verse with Kabat, the district attorney
having ordered this precautiou. 1t is
said that another arrest or two may be
made before the conclusion of the trial
several others being under suspicion as
being accessories to the alleged crime
The case will probably consume no less
than ten days and possibly three weeks
upwards of 100 witnesses having al
ready been suhpOcnaed.

air movements at great heights are as
certained by means of these balloons
and kites; the absorption of solar heat
by the atmosphere is measured and de
termination is made of the dissipation
of solar light and heat. In addition
to this the observers are engaged In a
work which would seem to belong rath-
err to the field of poetry than to the
field of science-the Analysing of the
sunbeams.
At Mount Weather. as is learned
from brief statement of the Secretary
of Agriculture. the Observers are study
ing 1.-The relations to the atmosphere
of the magnetism of the earth, the tenn
perature of the soil and even the mo-
lions of the earth. All these phenom-
ena have been shown to have more or
less intimate connection with meteorol-
ogy."
As part of the system of expert
mentation which it is hoped-and be-
lieved, for that matter-will result in
making long-dstance forecasting posi-
bic, balloons are liberated from time to
time at many of the weather stations
in different parts of the country, the
balloon work being IN connection with
that at Mount Weather. 1t is consid.
cred of the utmost Importance that the
condition of the atmosphere above the
land to the greatest attalnable heights
should be known every day of the year,
especially in the time Of storms and Of
intense cold.
Two years ago Senator Bard of Cali
fornla introduced a bill in the Senate
authorizing the Treasurer of the United
States to pay $4,000 in prizes to
prophets who could give evidence that
they were able to tell month ahead
whether it was to be cold or hot, OF
whether it was to rain or snow, or to
be as dry as the bone of proverb. Tha
bill was eleven pages long, and to the
layman's eye the whole thing looked
like eleven pages of humOr. 1t was
laughed out of the Senate into a com.
mittee room. and there it lies today.

lions Now n Heap of Junk.
The famous Ferris wheel, which was
one of the great attractions at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago and again at
the st. Louis Exhibition, was blown up
by dynamite recently by the wrecking
company which had purchased the sal
wage upon the fair grounds. The wheel
weighed 400 tons. 1t had an altitude
of nearly 200 feet, and when built fif-
teen years ago in Chicago cost $3.50 900
1t was built to eclipse the Eiffel Tower
at the Paris Exposition, and was the
marvel of the world, more than G,00O-
600 persons from every corner of the
habitable globe having been carried in
It's cars.
Many have been the deaths it has
caused among the workmen who have
labored in the work of setting it up,
taking it down and re-erecting it in the
several migrations it has had in its fiji
teen years of existence. Daring rides
have been taken upon its outer rim, on
its cross-rods or upon the roofs of its
cars while in motion by those who had
no fear Of attitudes.

The wheel made money for its con-

after the close of that fair it was dis
mantled and set up in summer gar
den in North Clark street In Chicago.
1t did not prove so profitable an at
traction there, and before the opening
of the st. Louis Worlds Fair It was
purchased for 100000 and re-erected
on the exposition grounds.
At st. Louis 1t also proved a money
maker, but after the fair, although 1t
was still In good condition, it was de-
