WOMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER
Mrs. Paul Malin IS Accused of poisining
Her BrOther-in-law.

On Thursday last, officers were called
to the town of Harmony to investigate
the cause of death of Carl Schmidt. A
jury was impaneled, consisting of
neighboring farmers, and an autopsy
held which showed that the deceased
came to his death by means of carbolic
acid poisining. The taking of evidence
was adjourned to Viroqua on the fol-
lowing day. it is said there was evi-
dencc of suspicious circumstances indi-
eating foul play and the jury decided
to hold Mrs Mary Malin, who is a sis
ter to Mrs. Schmidt, for further inves-
tigation The deceased Carl Schmidt
was totally blind and how he could have
obtained carboiic acid or procured it to
be obtained is mystery the jury be-
heving that because of his blindness he
must have had help. Mrs. Malin was
in accordance with the verdict of the
jury accordingly arrested and is now IN
custody. The evidence against Mrs.
Maln is very slight and it is said that
some of the officers were opposed TO her
being held at this time, but inasmuch
as the Jury were sworn and gave to the
matter their best Judgment, it as right
there should be a more thorough inves-
tigation to the end that if Mrs. Malin
is really guilty she may be promptly
punished, and if not that she may be
properly and promptly indicated. The
case presents more than one mystery.
In this matter inasmuch as witnesses
were of Swiss nativity and unable to
talk English, Mr. Bennett called Dis
trict Attorney Bosshard of La Crosse,
as Interpreter.

THE NORWEGIAN LIQUOR Law.
New Samlag System Results in De-
creased Consumption.

The newly established samlag system
in Norway has proved successful In reg
ulating the liquor traffic in that country
and materially decreasing the formerly
abnormal consumption of spirits, says
the New York Tribune The samlag
system gives power TO municipalities
to grant all the retail spirit licenses
which it deems necessary TO one com
pany which binds itself to carry on the
traffic in the interests of the commm-
ity with fixed annual return of not
more than per cent. on its paid-up
capital.
When the sapilag was introduced
there were two kinds of liquor licenses
i'm effect, those granted annually or for
term not exceeding five years, and
those holding good during the life of
the licenser. In the first case no com
pensation whatever was paid to those
dispossessed Of their licenses. but in
the case of the latter compensation
was allowed in the form OF an annuity
equal to the average annual profits for
the three years proceeding the suppress
sion of the licenses. This provision is
still in force With these provisions
the aims and principles OF the sanlag
can be summarized as follows:
The elimination of private profit and
the securing of the monopoly value to
public. insuring the highest quality of
liquors sold; the reduction of the num-
Der of licenses; the easy enforcement
of the law; the destruction Of the pow
er of the spirit trade and the further
ance of all progressive measures of re-
form. The allotment of profits at pre-
sent in Norway is as follows. To the
state, 65 per cent. to the municipality
in lieu Of large license duties now ab0l-
ished, Is per cent, ana To objects of
public utility not being chargeable on
rates but operating as counter attrac-
tions TO the public houses in towns and
the surrounding districts, 10 per cent.
The combined capital of the samlags
in Norway In 1904 was $l55, 900, and
has never been more than $50, 600
The profits of the trade even under
these restrictions have contributed,
since the establishment of the system
81, 900. 900 for objects of public interest
The part accruing to the state in the
last eight years has been set aside un-
til 1910 as the foundation Of an old-age
pension fund, which now amounts to
81, 500. 600.
The most remarkable fact IN the his
tory of Norwegian sobriety is that
while the population has increased
about 60 per cent. since 1851, the inn
ports an inhabtant about 800 per cent.
and the exports some 200 per cent, the
consumption of alcohol decreased about
45 per cent. The decrease has been
most marked since 1871 the samlag
period.

Mix one-half ounce of Concentrated
oil of pine with two ounces of glycer-

Shake thoroughly each time snd use in

The renowned throat and lung spe-
cialist who established a camp for con-
sumptives in the pine woods of Maine,
and whose remarkable cures there at
tracted international attention, de-
clares that the above formula is one
of the very best remedies obtainable
for an acute cold and that it will
strengthen the lungs, relieve coughs
and heal the bronchial tubes. Also,
that it will cure any case of lung trou-
bic not too far advanced if the patient
will assist by plenty of outdoor exer-
else, inhaling deep, long breaths every
few minutes.
The ingredients are procurable of
any good prescription druggist and
easily mixed at home and should take
its place as one of the most valued
remedies in the family medicine chest.

products of later day breeding.
Missouri herds furnish, to a large
extent, the new stock that, injected in
to the range herds, started the i'm
provement which is so marked in the
type of animal we're familiar with to-
day. The Durham breeS was really
the start of the transition, / believe.
Some breeding was done in 7'3 and IA
with Durham bulls. The cows were
what We called Mexican cattle. They
were the descendants, no doubt, of the
early Spanish breeds of cattle that
were brought into Mexico from Spain
Cross breeding with Herefords fol

animals became shorter and heavier
in appearance and in few Sears the
white-faced animals were plentiful.
We called the Texas type of steer

don't know how they got that name
but they We're spoken of among cattle
men always as Texas boomers. They
were just the sort of animals best
suited to thrive in the dry country and

yearlings, they usually appeared
smooth and sleek, but their coats soor
