POULTRY BREEDING.
Examine Your Stock to Insure the
Necessary Quality.

NeccssaFy Quutlty.
Now is a good time for the poultry
man to look over and examine into the
merits of his young stock and ascer-
tain which individuals he shall retain
for his breeding yard next season. The
following qualities should be fully
known:
Is the selected specimen hardy? Has
it ever shown symptoms of disease or
weakness? Has it shown a disposition
to take care of itself and displayed its
strong constitution by taking the lead
among its mates? Rapid maturing. a
desirable quality in all breeds, is seen
in rapid growth, early feathering and
activity. These points being under
stood as to each specimen. then select
with reference to the following facts:
The male should be- elegant in sym
metry. good in color strong, vigorous,
courageous and gallant: size. good
average of his variety. The females
should show strong constitutions. large
size and good color. By all means the
shape should be good. The theory that
good shape and symmetry should be
present in the male, while anything
will do for the female, may do where
fine points are not of great Importance,
but iu nice poultry breeding it will not
do to hope for handsome progeny from
coarse and angular females, no matter
how good the male may be in that re-
| spect.
After having made the selections
then by all means care for them, for to
| this may be attributed the success or
| failure of the season in a great meas
/ ure. If the stock designed to breed
from is improperly fed and cared for
and they are suffered to go into the
breeding season not fully matured or
rounded out they cannot be expected
to produce the best of young. Push
| your birds, therefore, with all they
will stand of pure, wholesome food and
see that they are well housed Also

WOMAN EATEN BY WILDCAT
REMAINS OF AGED WOMAN WHO
HAS BEEN MISSING FOR
MONTHS.

Yola, Mimi, Nov. 27.-Wildcats or
lynx killed Mrs. Emily Chase, the
aged woman who mysteriously disap-
peared from her claim near here on
June % last. Her body has been found
by party of hunters. In one spot lay
what remained of her skull; near it
was found the lower jawbone, and
scattered about these were twenty
three bones-all that remained OF the
body of the woman.
Such has been the fate of woman
who a number of years ago counted
among her friends the Russell Sages
and other prominent New York fami-
lies. She was highly educated, de-
voted to literature and was religious.
The family moved to Decorah, Iowa,
where her husband was prominently
connected with a wholesale firm. He
died leaving the widow a large estate.
Her son Eugene came North and set
tied in Schoolcraft township. He
finally persuaded his mother to sell
her home and come to his place to
live She was an ardent Christian
and was willing to make any sacrifice
for her son. AS years passed by she
seems to have lost all she possessed
and lived alone and almost in pow
erty on her claim

ARE HEIRS, AS STRANGER SAID.
Women Who Fear to Be "Worked"
Employ .Sleuth.

A stranger rebuffed as an imposter
bv Mrs. A. Foster and Mrs. William de
Sautelle of La Crosse has turned out
to be the agent of Canadian estate
worth more than a million dollars to
which those women are heirs.
Within the last few weeks stran-
ger claiming to bear the name OF Par
adise-the maiden name of the women
called at their homes to represent
attorneys in Canada who had charge
of settling the estate of their father,
Normal J. Paradise, who had died
without a will, leaving a large estate.
The man was so familiar with the de-
tails of the family history that his
story was credited until he attempted
to borrow S. from one of the women.
He was repulsed and left their homes
and the city in huff, calling them In
CRATES. He was followed to st. Paul
by William de Sautelle, but there trace
of him was lost.
The families here, undecided as to
the import of the mans visit, hired a
local detective to look into his repre-
sensations and they have been inform
ed by the Canadian government that
large share of the estate awaits
them. There are several heirs, but it
is likely their inheritance will amount
to 100000 or more.

RESTORES OLD SCHEDULE.
State Railroad Commission Issues Or
der Concerning Portage Branch.

State Railroad Commission Issues Or
der Concerning Portage Branch.
The state railroad commission has
issued an order restoring the former
passenger train schedule in force on
the Portage branch of the Wisconsin
Central road, which was in effect until
a few weeks ago when the commission
ordered it changed to the present
schedule. The change back to the old
schedule was made at the request OF
D. E. Frost and other residents OF
Stevens Point, who were dissatisfied
with the new schedule.
The old schedule just restored pro
vides that passenger train No 5O2
shall leave Stevens Point at 1905 a.
M, and returning as No. sol leave
Portage at 1880 p. m. The present
schedule provides for the train leav-
Stevens Point earlier and Portage
later than the old schedule.
The commission dismissed the petit
ton of the Nelson-Berry Lumber. COM
pany of Dorchester, Clark county, for
an order requiring the Wisconsin Cen
trial and Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul companies to give a lower rate
on wood and slabs between Dorches-
ter and De Forest. The commission
considers the present rates fair and
reasonable.

AGED MAN WALKS IL MILES.
Frank Swaty, &c. Walks to kewaunee
in Four Hours.


in Four Hours.
A new record for walking has been
established by Frank Swaty Of Ago
ma, aged eighty-six years, who last
week walked from Algoma to Kewau-
nee, a distance of twelve miles in four
hours. Mr. Swaty is the father of Mrs.
John S. Egan of ManitOwoc and is
we'll known here. This walk in four
hours breaks a record made a few
weeks previous by j. Erickson of Ke.
waunee to AlgOma, along the same
road in four hours and half. The RI
valry developed between Kewaunee
and Algoma over the walk.
When Erickson arrived in Algoma
from Kewaunee there were many re-
ports that some one would beat the
record made by him. The contestant
chosen by Algoma was nearly ten
years older, Mr.. Swaty being eighty
six years of age. Swaty came to AL
gonna in 1861 and has been in business
there as a merchant and farmer con-
tinuously ever since His life has been
one of great regularity and he never
INDUCED in any excuses.
The fact that he was able to walk
the entire distance from Algoma to
Kewaunee, twelve miles, in four
hours, without stopping, is indeed a
record for one so we'll along in years,

VAN HIsE CAN APPOINT.
Director Of University Publications
Is Exempt From Rule.


After a hearing on the matter, the
state civil service commission decided
that the position of director of univer-
sity publications or university editor
is in the unclassified service and
hence can be filled by appointment by
President Van Hise. This ruling is in
accordance with the view taken by
President Van Hise OF the position
At the hearing the university was rep
resented by Prof. W. G. Bleyer and
Librarian w. M. Smith No one ap-
peared in opposition to placing the
position in the unclassltied list. Fred
w. Mackenzie, who was until recently
assistant secretary OF the Merchants
and Manufacturers association OF
Milwaukee, will be appointed to the
new position. The salary is $1,000 a
year.
The civil service commission decid-
ed that there was a vacancy in the
clerical force in the state treasury
department and approved the appoint
ment of William Pugh OF Fond du Lac
to the position.
So far as the commission is con-
cerned this disposes of the claim of
Irving P. Leigh of Milwaukee to
clerkship in the treasury department,
and he will not be obliged to appeal
to the courts to establish any rights
he may have in the premises. Leigh
claimed that State Treasurer Dahl
dismissed him and that official claim
ed that Leigh resigned.
The commission took no further ac-
ton on the bill of State Game War
den Stone for $500 for First Assistant
Attorney General Titus for compiling
the state fish and game laws. The
commission considers the incident
closed. and if Mr.. Titus receives his
pay he will have to appeal to the
courts w

IOWA.

Des Moines, Nov. 24.-Capt. 0. w.
Kulp, First Lieutenant James D. Ma
son and Second Lieutenant Daniel N.
Evans of Company B, Iowa natlonai
guard, at Davenport, were placed I'M
der military arrest yesterday after
noon for failing to follow Adjt. Gen.
Thrift's order and stop a prize hight
in Davenport Thursday night.
Capt. Kulp and his men disregarded
the orders of their superior officers
and at 1:45 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, long after the fight was over, the
captain sent a telegram to the adju-
tant general saying that the law had
not been violated and that he and his
company had made no arrests.
Both Gov. Cummins and Adjt. Gen.
Thrift were astonished at the bold dis
regard of orders from headquarters,
and no time was lost this morning in
arranging for the arrest of the indif-
ferent officers and for their subse-
quent military trial by court-martial.
Adjt. Gen. Byers and Gov. Cummins
sent numerous kilograms to Capt.
Kulp Thursday night, but all were ig-
nored until the pugilists had fought

tracts, tits alleged, are discriminatory
in their nature and give certain poll
cyholders advantages over other poll
cyholders. They are caller advisers
eral compensation for nominal serv-
ices. They are held principally by
policyholders. The representatives of
the company claimed that the con-
tracts were not discriminatory, and
that if they were prohibited, they were
nevertheless issued in good faith and
with the consent of the former insur-
ance commissioner and former attor-
ney general
The representatives of the company
submitted correspondence with former
state officers of Wisconsin which
seemed to show that the company act
ed in good faith in issuing the con-
tracts. The contracts are no longer
issued. The company has 800 of these
contracts outstanding in Wisconsin
and has about $50 policyholders in the
state. The insurance commissioner
took the matter under Amusement.
The company was represented by
President Isaac M. Hamilton, Vice
President c. A. Atkinson and Secreta-
ry R. M. Wilbur, all of Chicago, and
the state was represented by Commits
sioner Beedle, Actuary l.. A Anderson
and Attorney General F. l.. Gilbert.

KISSED GIRLS IN CITIES.
George Marchande Said to Have De-
frauded Many by Smooth Methods.


frauded Many by Smooth Methods.
The La Crosse authorities have re-
ceived notice from four cities that in
case they cannot convict George Par
adise de Marchande, who claims to be
a cousin of Senator La Toilette,
bound over for trial on charge of eX-
torting money from French families
there on the pretense of wanting it to
record papers in estates in which they
were to share, he is wanted in these
other cities for trial on similar
charges. The principal scene of Mar
chande's operation before he came to
La Crosse was Minneapolis, where a
large number of French settlers are
alleged to have been swindled. He
worked also at st. Paul, Duluth and
Chippewa Falls, so far as heard from,
and it is considered probable that a
number of other points in the North
west were visited. At Minneapolis it
is alleged that he had succeeded in
imposing upon, at least to the extent
of caresses, almost every handsome
young woman in st. Annes parish.
