o. o. McFadden of Fairfield has had
on exhibition the past week in that
place his recently invented and pa
tented pillow and harrow combined, or
pulverizer. The machine is made on
a large scale and will, if it does as is
expected to be able to do a great
amount of work. The plow is so con-
structed as to cut the land into strips
six inches wide as the plow passes
over the land. At the rear of the
plow is the pulverizer which consists
of revolving axle upon which are
many teeth, which when the machine
is in motion, will strike the ground
every three inches, thus tearing and
pulverizing the land into very mel
low state.

The 28th annual convention of the
Maine mission for the deaf was held
in Rockland this week. There was
an attendance of nearly 70, making
one of the largest conventions in the
history of the mission. The address
of the president, A. L. Carlisle of
Bangor, referred to the many deaths
that have occurred in the ranks since
the last convention. There are now
1857 deaf persons in the State, 466 be-
ing totally deaf and S01 partially SO.
Of this this number, S96 can speak,
1875 can speak imperfectly, and 237
not at all. The president announced
that the Maine mission had fallen
heir to part of the estate of the late
Miss Emiline Spofford of Brooklyn, a
native of Bucksport, who died last
year at the age of 80. 1t is expected
that the legacy will be paid this fall,

CLAIM IT BOYCOTT
University Students Object to
Civil Service Rules Regard
ing State Work
THEY CHARGE pREJucIDE

University of Wisconsin students
claim that they are Disseminated
against in the allotment of "capitol
jobs" under the civil service regula.
tions. "The CARDINAL" the univer.
sity publication, says in part in an
editorials:
''Never before to our knowledge has
university student been called upon
either to deny his occupation or suffer
to lose because honesty demanded
that he state his connection with Wis.
consin university.
MANY university students passed
the recent civil service examination
for clerkships in the legislature. Some
we're certified by the civil service com.
mission. When they tried to plead
their case with one of the appoint
ing officials, they were closely inter.
ogated regarding their present occu'
patton. When they plead guilty tc
the crime of being students in the
university, they were told that their
occupation was sufficient to disqua1ify
them.
"'This is no asylum for university
insists, was the remark passed by
one official. Indeed the chairman OF
the commission, himself . student
and in addition an INSTRUCT Of uni
versity students, holds the very same
views expressed above. Why this
discrimination should be made we
cannot comprehend.
''Our complaint is not against the
abolition of the So called sssnap job. =
We entirely agree that such practices
should be stopped. But we do protest
against discrimination against appli-
cants for the mere reason that they
are students. Such prejudice is
against justice and reason"

GETS NEW EVIDENCE
Executor Of the Estatesof Late
Nancy Clover Finds Notice Of
Death Of Mrs. Judith Glover
MORE SENSATIONS PROMISED

Another sensation is to be sprung in
connection with the contest against
the admission to probate of the will
of the late Nancy A. Glover as the
executor of the estate, Charles A.
Tarbe11, has been examining into the
case pretty closely and he has dis
covered evidence which he believes
will completely overthrow any claim
that Charles Joseph Glover, of Chi
cago, may have to the estate of the
deceased spinster.
The family history Of the Glover
family has been a decidedly hard
matter to trace on account of the fact
that the one surviving daughter of
Col. Peleg Glover resided in Washing :
ton, and as she was an old woman she
took little interest IN the matter. Mr.
Tarbe1l has, however, secured piece
of evidence in the way of a clipping
from the old Kenosha Union which
will have tendency, as the executor
of the will believes, to riddle the
claims of Charles Joseph Glover, of
Chicago, who is contesting the will.
The clipping is the death notice Of
Mrs. Judith Glover, the wife of Col.
Peleg Glover. This shows that the
Mrs. Glover, who so far as the living
relatives Of Miss Glover know was
the only wife of Col. Glover, died in
Kenosha on Jan. 10, 1869. The time
of the death of Mrs. Glover would be
immaterial had it not been for the
claims that have been made by the
Chicago claimant under the will.
Under his statement Glover claims
that he is the son of Col. Peleg Glover
and Miss Fannie Mccarthy, who for
merly lived at Manitowoc. He asserts
that he was born in 1852. AS the
clipping will show that the first Mrs.
Glover did not die until 1869 there
promises to be some very interesting
complications arising over the settle
ment of the claim of the Chicago man.
The attorneys for Glover have adj
mitted that it will be impossible for
them to produce the certificate show
ing the facts of the marriage of Peleg
Glover and Fannie Mccarthy on ac-
count of the fact that the records of
Manitowoc county do not go back
further than 1851 and for this reason
it is evident that the claim will be
made that Col. Glover and the Nc
Carthy woman were married before
that time.
Should Glover persist in pushing
his claims as half brother of Miss
Glover all these points will be
brought ont. Old pioneer residents
of the city who knew Col. Glover well
declare that he was a man of good
character and they do not believe
that there will be anything to show
that he ever led dual life. Should
this have been the fact Col. Glover
must have been able to conceal the
facts of the alleged Manitowoc mar
rage for many years as it is shown
that his wife lived eighteen years
after the alleged marriage to Fannie
is said to have taken place.
Mr.. and Mrs. e. T.. Grant will leave
on Thursday for Bellair, Fla, for a

AN EXCITING TIME
Arthur Cronk Pursued by Game
Warden KIeist is Alleged to
Have Drawn a Dagger.
ALDERMAN WADE ASSAULTED

Deputy Game Warden Michael
Kleist and Alderman George r.
Wade, of the Fifth ward, had an ex-
citing time this morning while arrest
ing Arthur Cronk, who is now in Jail
awaiting charges to be preferred
against him by the alderman and
game warden. It is alleged that
Cronk assaulted Wade and that while
K1eist was seeking to arrest him he
drew dagger on the game warden
and threatened violence. K1eist
threatened to shoot and the man
dropped the dagger. The dagger
was captured and is held as evidence
against Cronk.
Cronk was hanging about the place
of business of Alderman Wade, on
Park street, this morning and it was
alleged that he had assaulted youth
by the name of Pabst. Wade placed
Cronk under arrest on charge of as
sau1t and as he attempted to take him
from the building Cronk struck him
in the face, drawing the blood and
making bad wound. Wade called
on Kleist to aid him in landing the
ma n in jail, but Cronk was not in a
mood to go to jail and he shot ont of
the place and started east on Park
street. Kleist started in pursuit and
proved good Splinter. Just as he
was planning to pounce down on
Cronk it is alleged that the fleeing
man drew dagger and made for
Kleist. At this Kleist made as if to
draw his revolver and Cronk dropped
the knife and gave up the fight. A
short time later he was lodged in Jail.
It is not known what charge will be
made against him, but it is probable
that he will be charged with assault
ing an officer.
