When dueling was an actual factor
in the social order of this country 1t
had many worthy and notable expo
nents. including no less distinguished
personages than Henry Clay. Andrew
Jackson, Alexander Hamilton. De Witt

of the same type; but nowhere on this
continent was it so much an estab.
lished institution as in that peculiarly
romantic old city of New Orleans. It
was woven into the very fabric of the
life OF the community, and many a
crumbling tombstone in the antiquated
Creole cemeteries bears grim and
silent witness to the fact, though to
understand the situation more clearly

Much excitement prevails at Prairie

While only twenty acres are involved
in the deal it has been the cause OF
more discussion than any business Of

The land in question is that Of

north of Prairie due Sac, known as

OF the land is said to be about SO an

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form Of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous. waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, One-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in bot
tie, and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af'
ficted.

Lenroot Able to Decipher Record of
Law Suit Pending Fifteen Years.
After the shorthand report of the
case of w. E. McCord VS.. H. c. Akeley
ct al, made by the late E. A. Strong,
court reporter for Judge Parish, had
been going the rounds among short
hand experts in the Northwest, L. L..
Lenroot of Superior has been able TO
decipher it, and Judge w. H. Stafford
of Chippewa Falls and Judge W. +.
Bailey of Eau Claire, attorneys for the
defendants, are now preparing the
third appeal of this famous lawsuit to
the state supreme court.
The litigation has lasted about fit-
teen years and the different phases OF
the case have been tried before Judges
Vinje, Helm and Parish in the circuit
court. and twice before the state SUI
preme court and once before the Uni
ted States supreme court. The amount
involved is about $4,000. The case
grows out of a homestead claim OF the
late P. w. Jacobus, who took up a
homestead near Iron River. John +.
Hill tried to secure JacObus' claim and
filed a contest for it. This contest was
litigated through the Ashland land OF
fee and before the land department at
Washington and finally appealed to
the secretary of the interior. The out
come was that Hill was given the land.
In the meantime, Mr.. JacObus sold
the land to Mr.. McCord and after the
patent was issued to Mr.. Hill, Mr.. NC
Cord began action in the Wisconsin
courts to set aside Hills claim to the
land, and succeeded in his contention.
While this suit was going on the tim
Der was sold to Mr. Ackley ct al, who
cut and removed it, and judgment was
obtained against them and the present
suit is to recover the value Of the tim
Der.
When Court Reporter Strong died,
it was found that he had not made
transcript of the evidence in the case
and it was a question either of trying
the case again in the circuit court or
finding a man who could read Mr..
.Strongs notes. Those interested were
about to do the work over again when
Mr.. Lenroot came to their rescue

Correspondence Courses for House
wives Offered by University.
The practical character Of the
courses offered in the correspondence
study department of the University OF
Wisconsin is indicated by the work in
home economics. By providing CORE
spondence courses in domestic econo-
my the department hopes to meet the
needs of women of the state. The pur-
pose is to exterd to all the Opportunl-
ties and advantages offered at the uni
versity and as far as practicable the
courses are similar to those given resi-
dent students. The subjects taught in
those mail courses are the selection
and preparation of food, house SANTA
ton and house decoration. The work
is planned to give suggestive and help
full information and to familiarize
housewives with the best literature on
the problems of housekeeping.
In the courses in the selection and
preparation of food will be considered
the composition Of foods and their nu-
tritive value and the changes in them
caused by heat and fermentation. The
principles of cooking will also be pre-
sented with the study of common food
materials, such as eggs, fish, cereals,
vegetables and fruit. An important
part of the work not only for house
wives but for nurses and hospital at
tendants will be the subject OF food
for the sick. The adulteration Of food
will also form a part OF the course,
and will doubtless prove Of particular
interest because of the recent pure
food agitation and the resultant ma
tional and state legislation which has
recently gone into effect.
House sanitation is the subject OF a
course by Prof Caroline L. Hunt, head
of the department of home economics
at the university. She will present the
subjects of proper ventilation and
means of accomplishing its effective
methods of sanitary plumbing, sewage
and waste disposal Problems OF light
ing and heating under the various con
ditions of country life will be consld-
cred, with practical suggestions. Inc
course also includes a discussion OF
house furnishings and methods OF
cleaning them in relation to health and
household sanitatiOn.-W.

TWENTY-THREEM MAIL COURSES.
College of Engineering Offers Core
spondence Work.

College of Engineering Offers Core
spondence Work.
The college of engineering of the
University of Wisconsin has just an
nounced one of the most important de-
velopments Of the university CORE
spondence work, the arrangement of
twenty-three new courses in mechani-
cal engineering to be given by mail.
| The new work begins next semester,
which opens Feb. 10. 1t is designed
primarily for artisans and others en-
gagged in mechanical occupations who
are ambitious to prepare themselves
more fully for their work. The in
struction will be of high grade and
will be given by the members Of the
faculty of the college of engineering.
The work will be sufficiently simple
SO that those who have had but few
educational opportunities can pursue
it readily The only prerequisites will
be the ability to read and write Eng
lish and to use figures: all other in
structiOn necessary for work in me-
chanical engineering may be obtained
through complete, thorough and ERECT
i've correspondence courses.
The work offered is divided into sew
eral weeks Of courses in mechanical
engineering, comprising a study OF ma
chine design, stationary engineering,
locomotive engineering and groups IN
Guiding combinations Of courses adapt
| ed to the special requirements of indi-
viduals. Some Of the specific sub
iects in which instruction will be
given are mathematics. the strength
of materials, mechanism. machine ele-
ments, advanced design. the theory OF
heat, boilers. steam engines, valve
gears, gas engines and gas producers,
test methods, fuels and lubricants, re-
frigeration, heating and ventilating'
power plant economics, compressed
air the maintenance Of locomotives,
the economics of train operation, air
| brakes. electrical machinery and en-
| CINE running.
The students of the correspondence
courses. may secure laboratory prac-
tice in the summer school for artisans,
which has been conducted successfully
at the college of engineering for six
years. There the students will be I'M
der the immediate personal superVl-
sion Of the members Of the faculty,
many of whom have had some years OF
experience in large industrial estao'
lfshments before coming to the unlver-
sity.
These are the first Of the CORE
spondence courses in engineering
Plans are rapidly being perfected for
work in civil, electrical and other
branches of engineering work IN
which courses will he announced later

GIVE SKIN TO SAVE A LIFE.
Students at Dairy School Come to Res
cue of Women.

Students at Dairy Schooi come 10 HeS-
cue of Women.
Fifteen students at the university
dairy school sacrificed a total of near
Iy 400 inches of skin to save the life
of Mrs. Anna O'Day, the wife of for
mer student at the dairy school.
The accident to Mrs. O'Day occurred
at the United States Sugar companys
plant several months ago, at which
time her husband was employed in the
factory. She slipped into vat OF
boiling liquid and scalded one leg.
When it developed that new cutlcle
would have to be provided O'Day could
think of no one upon whom he could
call for aid in the crisis. Finally, now
ever, he appealed to the authorities at
the dairy school for assistance, ana
they in turn acquainted the students
with the case and called for volun-
steers. About twenty-five offered their
services and so far fifteen have SUD-
mitted to the painful ordeal.

LABOR OF HINDUs is CHEAP.

They Might Be Employed to Dig the
Panama Canal.
'FWhy not dig the Panama canal
with Hindu Iabor?" an expert upon
labor in various lands recently asked.
ga number of Punjab Mohammedans,
big, sturdy-lOoking men, have recently
arrived in British Columbia in the
search for work at wages which to
them are high, but which, as we re-
gard them here, are small. They are
not wanted by the Canadians, how
ever.
''The Hindu laborer is. as a rule,
intelligent and capable and would be
well adapted to the climate of Pan
anna There is a great deal of dis
content in India at the present time,
owing to the small wages paid to Ia
borers, and they would welcome any
opportunity for foreign employment
The average wage there is So to 81
a month. In the tea gardens of AS
sam they can earn but S1.63 to $1.98
a month, the last figures being the
amount paid after four years service.
SIT is not surprising, therefore, that
large numbers of coolies should leave
the country. Indeed, they are leaving
in such numbers that the matter is
receiving the serious consideration of
the Indian government Many have
gone to Natal, where they earn from
$50 to $35 a month. From all ac-
counts they are most satisfactory
favor is that nowhere, it seems, does
the same prejudice exist against them
as against Chinese coolies"
