SKELETON FOUND.

While a workman of the Gardner mill
near Mosinee was going through the
woods in the vicinity of Mosinee hill
Sunday he came across the skeleton OF
human being, partly hidden in a
clump of bushes. Noting the place
we'll, so he could find it again, he went
to Mosinee and notified the village
authorities, and DIR. Fish, j p, held an
inquest. Many of the villagers remem-
bered Of Mrs. Chiefly, an asylum
inmate, being lost last summer, and
they at once communicated with Supt.
John Thomas, that identity might be
established. Mr.. Thomas was able to
identify the remains from the clothing
worn and from picture and tin pail
she was known to have when last seen.
The remains were brought here and
are being held, awaiting word from the
woman's husband as TO what DISPOSE
ton to make of them.
Magdaline Chichy was Bohemian
by birth and was forty-five years OF
age Her home was formerly in Grand
Rapids, Wis, and she had been an
inmate of the Marathon county asylum
for about four years. One day about
the middle of last August she, in com
pany with a number of other inmates,
was allowed to go across the river down
into the woods in the vicinity of the
Mosinee hill, TO pick berries The
woman We fairly rational and it was
thought was well able to care for her
self. She was out with the other berry
pickers nearly all day, until it came
time to go home, when she disappeared.
The other patients and attendants with
them started q search and called loudly
to her, but received no answer and
could find no trace of her. 1t was in a
section of country surrounded by farm
houses and much traversed by berry
pickers, and il was thought she could
not stray far without being seen. Night
was coming on and the party drove
home. For several days Supt. Thomas
and crew of men searched the woods
for her, notifying the hundreds of
berry pickers who were in that section
daily of her disappearance, and also
farmers of that locality. At last it was
thought she might have seen and heard
the searching party and evaded it and
was attempting to reach her home in
Wood county by cutting across the
country. AS weeks passed by and no
trace of her was found, it was thought
she might have strayed to some distant
locality and was taken in as domestic,
or it was possible she might have died.
The place where she was found Sun
day was not a great distance from
where she was last seen, but it was in
a thicket where a berry picker or a
hunter might pass by and one lying or
hiding there would pass their observa-
ton unnoticed. just what caused her
death can only be surmised.

TRIUMPH or !. 3. >. STUDENTS
-Four Out of Five Passed State Examina-
tion; Of Those Who Were Not
Students, Only One In Six Passed.

The great work that the international
Correspondence Schools, Of Scranton,
Pa, are doing was never demonstrated
more focibly than II was when 90 can
dIdates for the position Of FIRE boss
presented themselves TO take the State
examination before the State Mine In.
spectors ut uniontown, Pa.
Nineteen Of the candidates we're |. G.
S. Students; fifty we're not. The prac.
teal experience Of all averaged about
the same, and all had equal opportunity
10 pass the examination. The result
was signal triumph for the |. G. s.
system Of training by mail. The so
candidates that were not students Of
the schools averaged only b4.7 per cent
in the examination; only seven passed; /;
forty.three failed. The nineteen I. G.
y, students averaged 752 per cent? is
passed; only four failed.
The examination shows that the man
who has the foresight to invest a few
dollars and little' spare time In an
|. 9. s. Course Of special training has
nearly six times the chance To pass the
examination as the one that lacks such
preparation; that the chances that an
I. c. s. student win succeed are four
10 one, while the chances that non.
student will fall are six to one.
The foregoing IL simply one OF thou.
sand instances where l. @. 8. students
have iriumphed In examinations, In
promotions, etc. Such success is easily
accounted for, when II Is remembered
that these schools have had nearly is
years Of experience In teaching by mail
and have expended the great sum Of
one million dollars In the preparation Of
home.study textbooks, which are so easy
to understand and to apply that any
man able to read and write can succeed,
provided he has little ambition.

the Importance Of tho guest blt because

Washington, Il 10 known, has all along

al the really cordial relations existing
between Japan and this country and
has been desirous Of It's public demon.
stration as proof Of the obliteration
Of all feeling over the California troub-
lc In which President Roosevelt took
such a promiufnt part. General kuro-
ki had planned 10 return directly to
Japan from the jamestown Exposition
without taking part in any public dem
onstration. The opportunity, however,
was too good to be lost, and somehow
from high sources things we're started
moving. A committee was organized
significant In its composition. Not only
did II number men who had been prom
inently connected with the political life
of the present administration, such as
Paul Morton, Cornelius Bliss and Seth
Low, but also u. 8. A. de Lima and
Others who are laboring 10 extend the
foreign commerce Of the United States
and 10 eliminate adverse influences.
just how this committee worked Is not
known but as a result OF It's efforts
General Kuroki changed his plans and
came to New York to take part in a
friendly demonstration Of the relations
existing between the two countries
which may well live in International
history as has the visit Of Commodore
Perry to Japan half a century ago
The people Of New York helped along
the movement by giving the men of
the visiting feet glorious time during
their stay ashore.
