great interest in st. Croix county was
handed down by the supreme court
at Madison, when it decided the ia

operating water power electrical
plants on the Apple river.
1t was the case of Mrs Julia King.
Of Somerset, this county, against the
company, and DR.. F. w. Epley, it's

$4,000 damages for alleged false ar

with her, really cut down the pole
Mrs. King was discharged in justice

Judge Helms, the circuit Judge, and
a special verdict was submitted to the

viii Be a New School.

During hearing on the state uni
versity appropriation bill before the
joint committee on claims, President
Van Hise said in reply to question
that the university authorities had no
present intention of having any Mil
waukee medical college affiliate with
the university. The bill under dis
discussion appropriates $4,000 for
the establishment for medical col
In urging the appropriation, President
Van Hise said the studies of the uni
versities would be arranged so that
a student who so desired might get
two years Of medical work during his
four years course, and would be able
to finish his medical studies in two
years more at a regular medical col
lege, thus enabling him to get the two
degrees of bachelor of arts and doctor
of medicine in six years. The advisi-
bility of establishing a department
where the last two years of medical
course can be pursued or having
some existing medical school affiliate
with the university, or allowing the
student to complete his studies at
some high standard college where he
could get credit for work done in the
university were questions to be de-
termined by the regents four years
hence, said DR.. Van Hise. DR.. Van
Hise spoke nearly two hours on the
necessity of passing the bill which,
besides carrying the appropriation for
a medical college, also carries $780,
900 annually for buildings and equip
ment, and permits the university au-
thorities to borrow not to exceed $780,
900 a year to tide the institution over
till the tax revenues begin to come in.
DR.. Van Hise will resume argument
tomorrow. J. Lindemann of MilWau-
kee, representing the Merchants and
Manufacturers association Of that
city, preceded DR.. Van Hise with a
short statement in which he emphati-
cally declared that the men he rep
resented, who were among the larg-
est tax payers of the state, were
heartily in favor of promoting the
efficiency and scope Of the work of
the university. He declared that the
institution was doing much toward
the industrial development of the
state and should be literally support

EGGS THAT ARE FREAKS.
One That Weighed Five Ounces-An-
other Undisturbed for 800 Years.

It is announced that an egg laid by
hen belonging to coastguards Off
Ger at Bridgeport, Conn, measured
rs inches by Ga inches, while an
other Of similar size picked up in a
farmyard at Fenny Stratford was, on
being opened, found to contain a per.
fectly second egg. The record mon.
ster chickens egg is believed to be
one of So inches by z inches and
weighing five ounces.
The most freakish eggs are attrib.
uted to ducks. The Weston Park mu.
scum, Sheffield, has a ducks egg which
contains another smaller one inside
and still greater curiosity in a twin
egg, the two being joined together end
to end.
An egg apparently in a state of per
feet preservation is reported to have
been discovered embedded in the NOR
tar of an ancient church near Paris
AS the wall had been standing for fully
500 years the egg must have been UNI
disturbed for all that long period.

Bill Given Careful Thought.

The bill providing for a state cap
itol park has been most carefully
considered by many of the members
as well as by the best legal authori-
ties of the city, and present plan,
which, if adopted by the legislature,
will permit the state to acquire the
additional property conceded to be
necessary as an adequate and proper
setting for the new state capitol the
construction of which has been au-
thOriZed and commenced. When the
legislature two years ago took steps
to replace the present state house, the
inadequate limits of the present park
was a subject frequently discussed
among the members generally. BY
some the scheme of moving the build
ing to a different location where adj
ditional grounds could be secured,
was discussed and various plans were
suggested to remedy the insufIiciency
of the ground plan. Senator Stout,
among others, took up the work con
cretely and in order to enable the mat.
ter to be presented to the legislature,
authorized the securing of options up.
on the property located in the city
intervening between the capitol park
and Lake Monona.

MadiSon.-In a formal letter read to
the Republican caucus Irvine L. Len
root OF Superior withdrew his name
as candidate for United States sena-
tor and requested his supporters to
use their best independent judgment
in selecting some other man. To
practically all except the members who
have been supporting his candidacy
this action came as a surprise and is
the result of a determination arrived
at on the part of Lenroot and some
of his advisers to withdraw and thus,
so far as he is concerned, make pos
sible the ending of the deadlock. The
Lenroot letter in part follows:
"a prolonging of this contest great
ly interferes with important legisla-
ton and may endanger the selection
of any man who can or will assist

sentative government now going on in
this country. During my political
career l have fought consistently and

party in this state / have no right
now to place personal ambition higher
than the success of those principles,
In the hope that my action may aid
in bringing about the selection OF
some man who will creditably repre-
sent the progressive movement in our
state and nation 1 request my friends
no longer to consider me as candi-
date and use their best Independent
| Judgment in selecting some other man.
I'm taking this course l have made
no combination or agreement with
any other candidate, nor has any been
made in my behalf, and l have not
sought, and will not seek, to influence
the action of my friends other than
to urge them to do what they believe
will be for the best interests of the
state. l will say further that this
action is taken without the knowledge

she Sold them all, whether she liked
them or not.
Then Arthur Kemp appeared on the
scene.
He had gone to Paris three years
ago to seek relaxation from all his
domestic troubles. He told his friends
he would never tempt matrimony
again; that he intended to remain a
bachelor for the rest of his days.
All of his resolutions were changed in
the twinkling of an eye.
At a reception at the American en-
bassy in Paris Arthur Kemp met
Miss Kaye. He was smitten from
the very first; gossip soon linked their
names together. While young Mr..
Kemp had never known Miss Kaye in
his country, he found she came of a
fine New Orleans family.
She was born there and when but
a young girl went to Nazareth con-
vent in Kentucky, under the tutelage
Of both French and Spanish sisters
She was already a linguist of distinc-
tion-this bright southern girl-and at
the tender age of ten she carried off
the medal for French against older
girls than she at Nine Pickard's fash
ionable school for girls in New Or
leans.
Finally young Mr.. Kemp forgot his
resolution. He proposed and was ac-
cepted.
The marriage took place the other
day between this young man who
said he'd never marry again, and this
girl, who had promised to marry none
but an American The man failed in
his resolution-but do you blame him?

MUCH TOBACCO is PACKED.
Ten Firms at Edgerton Have Handled
100000 Pounds the Last Season.

Edgerton.-To those who have but
little idea of the magnitude of the leaf
tobacco business in the vicinity of Ed
gertOn, some news may be of interest.
OF the weed, whose chief mission it is
to go up in smoke, there have been
handled by the ten firms or individual
dealers that have operated warehouses
in our city during the last season, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pounds
and upward Of $4,000 cases constitute
the seasons packing of wrappers and
binders. 1t is estimated that between
100000 and 100000 have been check
ed out from our banks for last years
crop and for the labor involved in put
ting it up, and the latter is no incon-
siderable item, amounting as it does
to 60-odd thousand dollars.
Just how many people have been
employed in tobacco work the last win
ter is, Of course, difficult to determine,
but from the data at hand the number
must have been we'll up toward 500.
Some of the warehouses opened about
the middle of December, but in the
majority asserting was not COM
menced until after New Years, and
although most of the packers are now
through, yet there are couple who
have tobacco on hand to occupy them
for four to eight weeks longer.

Some time during the year the gov

$350,000 upon an irrigation system
upon lands north of Pocatello, Idaho,
an immense tract which in years when
immigrants struggled across it with
OK reams toward lands of then greater
promise was given over to sagebrush
and bunchgrass. Within two years at
most the sagebrush will have disap-
peared from this tract and in its place
will appear the plebeian cabbage, the
succulent young onion, the palatable
potato, the useful alfalfa and the fra
grant hay. Before the transformation
is accomplished it would be well for
Pocatello to hold grand fiesta in
honor of the sage, festoon her homes
and public highways with sprigs of
bouquets of sage. thus heaping homage

about to be deposed but who is worthy

A troop of them, with thrushes, came

get the meal meant feeding within

Compulsory Education.

Compulsory Education.
A measure that is attracting more
than usual attention is the proposed
amendment to the compulsory educa-
ton law, as yet in the hands of the
educational committee. The proposed
change affects all children of the state
between the ages of seven and ii
years. Under the present law, the
compulsory period is eight months of
schooling in cities and 20 weeks in
the country districts. An exception
is made in the case of pupils living
two miles or more from school
house. The law also provides for tru-
ant officers. General complaint has
been made that there is a lack Of en-
forcement Of the law.
Objection has been raised to the
pending bill by patrons of parochial
schools, not as to the time prescribed,
but because the original bill provided
for a monthly report of attendance
at the parochial schools of the county
superintendent or city official. 1t was
claimed that the proposed system inn
posed too much Of task upon those
in charge of the parochial schools,
and to meet the objection the bill will
provide that the records of attend
ance be kept open to the inspection
OF truant officers.
The committee has been obliged to
consider many conditions In seeking
to arrive at an equitable and neces-
sary compulsory law. Statistics were
presented to prove that "a per cent
of the children between the ages of
seven ad IA years attend school in
cities, while in the farming sections
and villages but 20 per cent attend.
