FAMOUS MEN DIED OF ANGER.
Severe Penalty for Losing Control OF
Ones Emotions.

The emperor Valentinian, while ad-
dressing a deputation of backslidlng
Germans, allowed his angry emotions
to get the upper hand of his common
sense and fell dead ere he had nd
ished speaking. The celebrated Eng
lish surgeon, John Hunter, INDUCED IN
angry dispute with one of his col
leagues at st. Georges hospital and
dropped dead at the feet of him VINO
had been the cause of the resentful
and bitter remarks. The Russian sur
geon, Baddawoski, being angored at
the awkwardness of an assistant dur
ing q surgical operation, gave free
vent to fit of anger and expired
without a moments warning.
The milk as well as the flesh of AMI
mails that have died while in rage
has been found, upon analysis, to con-
tain elements of poison, and many an
innocent babe has been made dan
gerously i'll by nursing at the mothers
breast Immediately after that anger.

Madison-The civil service law of
the state, which was enacted at the
last session has simplified the task of
the men who have places to bestow
and minimized their patronage to such
an extent that but few positions re-
main to be given out. Generally, the
working force in all the departments
will remain the same, changes being
made only in the assistants and depu-
ties to the state officers. Although
no official announcement has been
made, it is reported that Attorney Gen
eral Sturdeyant is to be given the
place as state agent and during the
session of the legislature will act as
the confidential adviser of Gov David
son in so far as legal questions are
concerned. Secretary of State-elect
Frear has announced the appointment
of A. T. forge as his assistant For
mer Assemblyman Henry Johnson of
Oconto county is reported to be slated
for assistant state treasurer, and M.
w. Waite of Milwaukee for deputy in
surance commissioner A. G. Titus of
Superior, the present assistant attor-
ney general, will be reappointed by
Attorney General-elect Gilbert. The
general clerical force in the various
departments will remain as they have
been.
1t is claimed that a change is to be
made in the Office of state oil inspector
soon after the legislature convenes, E.
E. Mills, of Burlington, being slated for
retirement 1t is questionable whether
or not Game Warden Swenholt will
be reappointed, and a number of can
didates have come into the field Ed.
l.. Tracy of Milwaukee, it is said, has
the support of a large number of the
friends of Gov. Davidson, as we'll as of
Lieut.. Gov.-elect Conner. Among other
names mentioned in connection with
this office is that of Deputy Game War
den j. w. Stone of Barron county.
There is a large field of candidates
for sergeant-at-arms of the assembly,
among whom are former Assembly
men Curtin of Calumet, Irvine of
Clark, Barker of Milwaukee, and Mich
Olas Strievler and former Sheriff F. F.
Damon of Marathon. Sheriff Damon
comes into the field with the support
of a number of northern Wisconsin,
assemblymen.
Up to this time there has been little
talk covering the organization of the
senate. Opinion seems to prevail that
Senator j. H. Stout of Dunn county
will be elected president pro tenn. Sen
ator Stout himself is advocating the
election of Senator George B. Hudnall.
There are a number of candidates for
chief clerk, r. G. Falconer of Juneau
county appears to have no opposition
for sergeantat-arms, while Christ
Paulus, the postmaster for many
years, is again candidate. The name
of B. r. Evans of Phillips has been
mentioned as candidate for this posi-
ton.

the piece of scalp with his left hand,
he held the gun to his shoulder with
his right and shot the brute dead
On the return journey to the cape he
met with the most serious accident of
his life. Stalking two rhinoceroses,
he was lying fiat when they came

of the two came near stepping on him.

from the ground would startle her and
so give him chance of escape. he
