A Carnegie Medal

must be something that makes a per son feel very proud. Of course we don't understand why. Because it's only a medal, it won't give you an appetite, it won't increase your DOCK etbook, it won't give you good health, it won't help you to live any longer Well, we understand Andy c. presents medals to heroes who risk their lives to save the life of fellow being. Well, that's just what Officer John T2vanaugh did, and II Andy c. was looking on we think he q think so, top; but Officer John doesn't need ] Carnegie medal; be- sides it looks &s though you must have "pull' to get it, and they are getting things down so fine noW-a- days that you cant get anything (even a tooth eXtracted} without pull" But if a Carnegie medal would show Tou the right road to good fishing poHd, or if it would be any assistance to running in a half dozen or more rabbits in a night, or something of that kind, Officer "John" would get the medal all right, all right. And say, if Andy C. offered one of his medals to the mer- chant who sells the best tea and cof- fee in New EA&land, we venture to say he wouldn't send ii to us. But there would hn no earthly reason why we shoul1n't get it, because we sell the very best quality to be had for the price you pay, and if you doubt us just call on us next time you want the n:ce tasting quality. You mention the price and leave the rest to

ANOTHER Fleeing
SCHEME PRACT|CED
Farmers in MdnitOWOC County
Caught by Sharks With
Advertising Contracts.

Numerous farmers in this section
of the state have been approached in
new form of swindle and reports say
one or two have taken the bait and
will stand to be f1eeced. The scheme
is on the following lines: A farmer
receives letter asking him to list his
farm for sale. According to the blanks
furnished the farmer asks the firm to
try and sell his place by advancing
the firm fifty cents an acre when they
have fulfilled their stated agreement
On close examination it is found that
the firm agrees to do nothing but adj
vertise the farm and nothing is said
as to how, what extent or where it
will be advertised. Whenever the
advertising is done the commission is
due, whether purchaser has been
found or not. Farmers who have
singed this contract have been advised
by their attorneys to settle the best
way they can and err no more.

BE Done, and Also Acted for
Protection of Young Birds-Pen-
atty for Violation.

Many local hunters have been max
ing inquiries regarding the open

chlckens and other upland birds The
last legislature considerably changes
this section of the game laws, cutting
down the number of counties in which
this class of game may be hunted and
changing the open season To later in
the year. This latter change is not
to the convenience of the hunters so
much as for the advantage of the
game, for it Will allow the young
game to be reared and will prevent
destruction of whole coveys of the
game.
The open season for woodcock,
partridge, plover and snlpe is the
months of September, October and
November.
In number of counties the hunting
OF prairie chickens is permitted during
the first fifteen days of October. In
all other counties of the state the
hunting or killing OF prairie chicken,
prairie hen or grouse of any variety is
absolutely prohibited all the year
round until the first of September,
1915. The counties in which prairie
chicken may be hunted during the
first fifteen days of OCTOBER are
Buffalo, Chippewa, Clark, Crawford,
Dodge, Grant, Eau Claire, Iowa,
jackson, Juneau, Lafayette, Mar
quette, Monroe, Pepin, Polk, Portage,
Richmond, Rusk, Sawyer, St. Croix,
Vernon, Washburn, Naushara and
Wood.
The killing of any Monogolin,
Chinese or English pheasant or quail
is absolutely prohibited by the law
until October l, 1915.
The penalty for violation of any
feature of this law is fine of $40 to
$50 or jail sentence of 20 to 60 days.

CFrom TUESDAYS DaiIy.l

sheriff Miller of Dodge county and
Herman White, superintendent of
the Dodge county asylum, were visi-
tors in the city yesterday, being in
search of William Borne, who escaped
from the Dodge county asylum last
week. 1t will be remembered that
Chief of Police Block was called to
the Junction last Friday evening,
having received the information that
an insane man had been in that vIcin-
ity. Upon the arrival of the officer
there, the man had disappeared,
going south on the Northwestern
railway track.
Sunday afternoon about l o'clock,
while out picking berries, Mrs. G.
Heide noticed queer looking object
in the woods, known as Boomer S
woods, about two miles south of the
city. Mrs. Heide informed John
Bailey, who made an investigation,
the object proving TO be man lying
naked on the ground, save for a pair of
SHOES. IUe OlIlCeTS were DOClI16U ana
Chief of Police Block and Officer
Bruegger visited the place, but upon
their arrival there the man had dis
appeared. A search was made of the
woods, but no trace of the fellow
could be found further than were he
had been lying on the ground. The
woods in that section were alive with
mosquitoes and flies and the torture of
the man must have been something
awful.
The gentlemen from Juneau visited
the same place yesterday afternoon in
an effort to find the man, whom they
expect will prove to be the patient
who escaped from the Dodge county
asylum. They were greatly handi-
capped in their search OH account of
the rain and finally gave up the
search, which they will renew today.
