Alumni Organize to Protest.

Jefferson. Wis, Nov. 12-The
alumni of the University of Wiscon-
sin throughout Jefferson county are
planing temporary organization TO
protest against the present athletic
policy of the faculty of that instltu-
ton. 1t Is believed that the lorna
tion of such an association in some
one county as beginning will mean
the ultimate organization uf the
alumni all over the state for like
purpose. The recent defeat by Illinois
and the correspondingly poor showing
against Iowa and Indiana has rIpened
the feeling of Indignation until it is
certain that the alumni throughout
the state must do something to express
their ideas on the subject.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY
PROMISED OUR CITY.
CHANCES ARE THAT CANNING
FACTORY WILL BE BUILT.
Already About a Third of the Nee
eSSdry Capital Has Been Raised
Like Industry at Waterloo Last
Year Paid Dividend of Thirty
Per Cent.

Another industry for the benefit of
the farmers in the immediate vicinity
of this city is under consideration and
active work is being done to land it.
1t is Canning Factory and already
about third of the capital to make
it success has been raised. 1t it an
industry of which should receive the
support of every citizen who has
money upon which he desires to real
Ize good dividend. The past year
the canning factory at Waterloo paid
dividend OF thirty per cent. upon
capitol invested and the factories at
Columbus and other nearby points
have also paiC good returns for the
money in the business. The demand
for canned vegetables, fruits, etc., Is
increasing and will continue to in
crease and the business becomes more
and more profitable.
it IS certainly an industry that
Watertown cannot afford to lose for it
means much to the farmers in the
towns adjacent to the city and to the
business interests of the city, for it
means more labor for the laborers
and more money for merchants, in
crease in population and taxable
property. There is large amount of
idle capitol here which could be in
vested to an advantage and sure in
come. 1t is a matter III which all
should take AN interest for it is GER
tainly good thing and perfectly safe.

Sells Commission Business.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


Ii. L. Kerr yesterday closed a
deal, whereby he disposed of his west
side commission business to Edward
ii. Graeszel of this city. who is has
already taken possession. The pur
chaser is well known in the city,
being proprietor of the Graeszel
Cooping company. Mr.. Kerr has
not definitely decided upon his future
plans. but rather expects to enter the
employ of large commission house.
The change will no doubt seem
strange to Mr.. Kerr. who has been
engaged in the commission business
in Watertown for the past twenty
two years, eighteen of which have
been spent in his present location.
He has worked up large business
and is recognized as one of the
largest poultry shippers IN this sec
tion of the country.

NAUGHTY POSTAL
CARDS GET ROAST
SELDOM. IF EVER REACH THEIR
DESTINATION.
COnfiSCdted in POSt0ffiCeS-Col-
lection From Whole United
States Makes Impossible Array
at WdShinqtOn-ThOse From
Foreign Countries are the Worst.

Cerain persons who have the per-
nlcious habit OF sending to friends
postal cards of suggestive or at least
doubtful meaning had better direct
their energies to something more ele-
waiting and refined for they can rest
assured their missives will never get
through the postuffice. Besides the
persons sending them are liable to
prosecution for violation Of the postal
avs.
According to postal officials the reg
ulation regarding "naughty' and OBJ
scene postals are more strict than ever
and the enforcement of the rules is
exceedingly rigid. every day sees the
contlcation of caro- or two they state,
and it it is possible to trace the SEN
der and turn him over to the INSPECT
ors for prosecution; the postals are
sent to the dead letter office.
Many of these forbidden cards are
contiscated every month in all the
United States, and the colleclon at
Washington is imposing. A report
from this morgue of decadent litera-
ture recently issued by the depart
ment, throws more interesting side
lights on the relative status of morals
in different cities of the country.
The dead letter office receives every
month over 20U. 900 postal cards, held
for various causes, principally for
lack of postage Or insufficient address.
Only about 5000 of these are held up
because of obscenity, however. A
large proportion come tom New
York, because mails from abroad enter
there. The number of obscene and
Indecent cards actually mailed in New
York IS not much, if any greater than
in Chicago, and is even less in winter.
Very few cards of this character are
mailed i'll Philadelphia Boston is also
comparatively moral, and st. Louis is
not so sinful, IN proportion to popu-
lation, as many smaller cities. In
the summer months Atlantic City
furnishes an extraordinary large num-
Der of post cards that are unavailable
because of their indecency, and it is
perhaps, entitled to the palm as the
plague spot of the country, according
to post cards standards. During the
winter, Les Angeles is not far behind
Atlantic City, but in this case, also,
the apparent immortality is probably
due to tourists. In fact the doubtful
| post card appears to be the favorite
mode of communication affected by
certain class of tourists and cities like
Saratoga, Atlantic City, Niagara, Hot
Springs, San Antonio and Los Angeles
furnish large proportion of the vul-
gar Autographs that Uncle Sam is
called upon to destroy i'll order to con-
serve the morals of his people.
Cards of American manufacture
are sometimes bad enough, but those
from foreign countries are infinitely
worse. France is the worst offender
of all, there being no censorship
whatever over the mails. In that
country, according to the postal cards
which come from 1T. human depravIty
is the only limit to the indecency to
be- depicted on a postal card.

Hunting With Dogs.

Wisconsin hunters appear to be at
sea as regards the use of dogs. The
opening of the deer season on Nov.
10, has caused hundred of inquiries.
The misunderstanding seems to arise
over the revised game laws. Tie
state game warden explains by saying
that dogs can be used for hunting all
game except deer and that during the
open season for deer, frum Nov. TO-,
midnight to Nov. 80. no dogs can be
used for hunting any kind of game.

GIRL ESCAPES
COLUMBUS JAIL
MYSTERY SURROUNDS BREAKING
OF CELL LOCK BY FIFTEEN
YEAR-oLD GIRL OR FRIEND ON
OUTSIDE.

Columbus Ga. March 1O.(Speeial.)-
Lena. Redd. a young white girl 10 years
of age, made remarkable escape from
the city stockade last night The girl, al
though tender in years, has already hs-
ured considerably in police circles, and re-
rently the recorder sentenced her to the
stoclSade and also bound her over TO the
city court in the hope that in the higher
court she would he sent to the state re-
formator
Last night one Of the women in the te-
male depqr[ment of the stockade notified
Warden Tice that the Redd girl was
missing. Investigation revealed her cell
omen. with the lock gone. The cell was
fastened with Yale lock and could not
have been unlocked from the inside even
though the girl had had duplicate Key
so the theory is that someone with Key
to the cell obtained entrance TO the
stockade in some way. The warden was
nearby. so it is thought that If the lock
had been broken the noise would have
attracted his attention.
Once outside the cell the young girl
was not vet at liberty, for the place is
surrounded 10y poaru renee Twelve leee
high, and il is surmounted by three
strands of barb wire How the girl got
over the fence without the aid of lad
der is a mystery. 1t is believed that the
person who assisted her in making her
escape is a man.
Recently when the girl was convicted
OF lettering in the recorders court, mum
hers of men offered to pay her fine, and
solely TO protect her the Judge imposed
a straight Jail sentence, not allowing the
alternative of a fine.
