erals Delarey and smuts--SOme NO-
 table Progressive Victories.
 Joi1annesburg, Feb. 2O--The election results, so far as known, indicate that the Boers will have a majority in the next parliament. Eighteen progressiyes. six nationalists, sixteen Dutch party candidates, one independent and three laborites have been returned. The re- turns from number of country dis tricts have not yet been. announced, but these districts strongly favor the Dutch party.
 The Dutch party, the nationalists and the laborites are allied. It is ex- pected that General Botha will be in- vited to form a cabinet, and that the new ministry will include General Shuts and General Delarey.
 Sir Richard Solomon, ex-lieutenant- governor of the Transvaal, who has jointed the Dutch party and who is re- garded as representing the interests of the British liberal government and the Iedder oI the ndlloHdllstS, was ueledl9u by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, the progress sive candidate, who is a mining. mag nate. The progressives are known also as the British party. It is still possi- ble, however, that the Dutch party will ask Sir Richard to accept the premier ship, in which event seat for him will be found.
 Other notable progressive victories were the elections of Abe Bailey at Krugersdorp, and Sir George Farrar, president of the Transvaal Chamber of Mines, at Boksburg.

BITTER RATE WAR IMPENDING
WISCONSIN CENTRAL TO PUT IN
81 RATE BETWEEN CHICAGO
AND ST. PAUL

st. Paul, July 14-War is impending
among the St. Paul-C Chicago lines, and
it will be prolonged and bitter, from
present indications. The Wisconsin
Central yesterday notified competing
lines that it will put in 81 rate be-
tween st. Paul and Chicago, which Is
a request for a differential of $1.75.
The new through rate between the two
points on the basis of the reduced
rates provided by laws passed by the
last legislature will be $S.75. the
other lines will not stand for this diff
ferential and will fight it by meeting
the 81 rate.
The S8.75 rate will go into effect
July 10. The lines have asked permits
sion to put it in then, and undouoted-
" the interstate commerce commlS-
sion will permit them, as it has made
ruling that new through rates caused
by state reductions may go in by post
ing the tariff at stations and notifying
the commission one day in advance.
In case the Wisconsin Central per-
sists in demanding a differential, and
there seems to be every indication
that it will, the fight will not be con-
fined to rates between st. Paul and
Chicago, but all around the circle.
A meeting of the Western Passen-
ger association will be held in Chicago
on Tuesday, when the differential
question will come up for discussion.

OVER 100 CHEESES.
Large Exhibit at State University
Dairy School for July.

LARGE Exhibit at State University
Dairy School for July.
There were 102 cheeses entered in
the July exhibit at the dairy school Of
the University OF. Wisconsin, the high
est score being given to Lornz Ebert,
BOnduel, who received 1926 per cent
in the Cheddar class. P. H. Kasper,
Welcome, received second with a score
of 97 M. H. Wagner, Osseo, third with
96.91, and o. A. Lielsmeier, ManitO-
woo, fourth with $685.. The exhibits
included 26 Flats, At Daisies, 4 Young
Americans, Long Horns, Prints, LIZ
Brick / Swiss and l Limburger. In
the Brick class the highest scores
were: G. E. Goodrich, Lone Rock,
1856; J. ]. Reid, Oconomowoc, 1856;
Oscar Kramer, La Crosse, 96.16; Cas-
per Anderegg, La Crosse, 1888. The
average of all Cheddar cheeses scored
was 9337, and for all Brick cheeses,
1858 The principal flavor defects
found were weedy, fermented whey,
coarse, acidy, or low favors. Weedy
flavOrs were the result of weeds eaten
by the COWS. UncleanlineSS in or
about the factory was the chief cause
of whey f1avors, as germs are intro
duced in the starter when cans are left
open or are not well cleaned. Coarse
or acid favors were caused by insult
f1cient cooking, and the low favored
cheeses needed more salt.
Six prizes aggregating $3.50 have
been offered by ex-Congressman S. A,
Cook of Neenah for the highest scores
made during the year in the butter
and cheese exhibitions. Mr.. Cook has
done much in the advancement OF
dairy interests in the state, having by
his untiring efforts aided largely in
the elimination of filled cheeses from
the market. Believing that the sue
cess of dairying in the state depends
more on stimulation of cheese and but
termakers toward Improvement of
quality than upon the regulation OF
market prices, he has offered six easy
chairs valued at $35, $25 and SIS each
for the three highest scores of the
year made by Wisconsin butter and
cheese manufacturers

refuge in a grove. Mr.. Pease, aNfeW
moments afterward, started across the
road to see if the children were safe.
and when hundred feet from the
house the wind picked him up and

RUST, NOT GREEN BUG.
No Cause for Alarm Says Prof. Moore
of State AZ" Agricultural College.

of State AZ" Agricultural College.
The fear of Wisconsin farmers that
the green bug" which is creating
havoc in the wheat fields of the South
the oat crop, is unfounded, according
to Prof j. G. Moore, agronomist at the
college of agriculture of the Universe
ty of Wisconsin. Extensive investiga-
ton of the fields affected have reveal
ed the fact that rust is responsible for
the poor condition of the oat crops,
and the green bugs found on many
mon aphides. Discussing the situa-
ton, Prof. Moore says:
Farmers have become alarmed be-
cause oat fields have taken on a red
dish brown color, and plants are max
ing little growth. While the stand is
good, the plants have not reached the
height usual for this season. Looking
for the cause, farmers have found
green louise or aphis on the plants.
| In some districts the louise was so nu-
merous that the poor condition of the
crop was attributed to it, probably be-
cause of the excitement in the South
regarding the green bug in the wheat
| fields Extended Investigations made
| in the past week by the university ex-
pertinent station show the aphis more
numerous than usual, but in no case is
it found in sufficient numbers to cause
the damage attributed to it. The aphis
would simply suck the juice from the
plant causing it to wither and the
| leaves to seem punctured by a needle.
No doubt the aphis has done some
slight damage to infested plants, but
large number of plants show the dis
ease where no aphides are found
practically all damage found may
| be attributed to oat rust, found on all
the plants. Reddish brown blotches
appear on the leaves of the plant
somewhat elongated, which later turn
dark brown. In nearly all cases the
| leaves turn brown at the end and die
| back to the stool. This is because
the rust takes up the nourishment
which would naturally go to the It's
sues, and they starve and turn brown.
| While most farmers are acquainted
with rust, they have overlooked it as
the cause of the present trouble be-
cause it appeared so much earlier than
usual. Prevailing weather conditions
have been exceptionally favorable for
the development and spread of the
fungus, and at the same time have re-
tarded the growth and weakened the
plants so as to make them more sus-
ceptible to attack. 1t is impossible to
predict how seriously the oat crop will
be affected. There is no way of COM
batting the disease, and the farmers
can do nothing but watch weather con-
ditions until harvest. The indications
are that the crop throughout the state
is affected, the south and east more
than the north and west. w.

WOULD LEAVE WISCONSIN.
Insurance Companies Cannot Comply
With Recently Enacted Laws.


Promising that if the governor signs
the life insurance bills recently passed
by the legislature the large companies
will be forced to withdraw from Wis
consin. not even excepting the North
western Life Insurance company OF
Milwaukee, Milwaukee representa-
tives of large companies have united
in an endeavor to persuade Gov.
Davidson to veto the bills now before
him.
That the life insurance companies
were serious in their statements that
they would be compelled to withdraw
from the state if the two actuarial
bills now before the governor became
laws. seems to be borne out by the
telegrams the companies are sending
Gov. Davidson and their representa-
tives in the state. These commune
cations are lengthy and emphatic,
and are all of a tone to leave no
doubt of the companies intentions 10
withdraw if the bills are signed by the
governor All the companies express
regret at being compelled to withdraw
but state that the proposed laws,
while no more drastic than the laws
of New York and Massachusetts are
so theatrical and unsound and so CON
ficting with the laws under which the
companies already operate in their
own states as to make it impossible to
remain in Wisconsin.
The retaliatory laws OF other states
would in turn be brought to bear on
the Northwestern Mutual, and that
company would be driven from other
states. 1t is said that the withdrawal
Of the Northwestern Mutual would not
necessarily mean the removal OF its
headquarters from Milwaukeo, put
that it would cease to write policies IN
Wisconsin.
The governor was given written
statement to this effect, signed by
twenty agents and fourteen compa-

yesterday Gov. Davidson signed the 2
cent fare bill, to take effect on Aug.
Is, 1907.

planning his reasons for signing the
measure.
The bill applies to all lines having
a gross earning of $500 per mile per
annum This will affect all of the
larger lines Of the state and some of
the smaller ones.

semblyman Turner of Portage and pro-
vided that the 2-cent fare bill should
apply only on all lines having a gross
earning of $1,000 per mile, but this
was cut down to one-half by the third

refuses to carry less than carload lots
and that no printed tariff schedule is
published. The defense will attempt
