VERY EXPENSIVE
FOR RAILROADS
TO COMPLY WITH NEW STATE
TELEGRAPHER'S LAW.

The new eight hour law for tele-
graphers is proving very expensive
for the railroads and great inconven-
ience to many communities as the
offices were discontinued. There are
many appeals to the state commission
to have the dead offices reopened.
Operators are scarce and it does not
Justify to keep three men at the small
er places.
1t has developed since Jan. l, when
the Elver law went into effect, 143
offices in the state doing commercial
telegraphing have been discontinued.
At many other places the hours during
which commercial or other kilograms
may be sent or received have been re-
duced from ten or twelve to eight
Of the 143 offices doing commercial
telegraphing which have been discon-
tinued, sixty-three are on the Chicago,
Milwaukee q ST. Paul railway, forty
one on the Chicago & Northwestern,
thirty-six on the Wisconsin Central,
and one each on the Omaha, Great
Northern and Duluth, South Shore
and Atlantic. A number of other sta
tions doing railroad telegraphing only
have been discontinued.
The railroads representatives show
ed that the new eight hour law has
put their roads to an additional eX-
pense of over 100000 year in salar-
les for additional telegraphers. It was
not definitely shown how many new
operators are required under the new
law, but the Milwaukee has eighty
eight, at an expense of about $4,000
year; the Northwestern fifty, at $50 900;
the Burlington thirty-eight, at $4,000;
the Wisconsin Central twenty-five, at
$25, 900, and the minor roads smaller
numbers.

BURTON HOME IN FAIR
FIELD.

On Wednesday morning about 2
o'clock, Mrs. S. II. Burton was aroused
at her home in Fairfield by the
chickens, roosting in tree south of the
house, creating a commotion. Mrs.
Burton aroused her husband, who
secured his gun, went out of the north

wind mill and part of the shot glanced
off striking the kitchen window thirty
feet away Mrs. Burton was looking out
of the window at the time and one of
the shot broke through the glass and
struck her on the cheek. The frag-
ments of glass struck her in the face,
cutting the flesh severely in several
places. Her eyes became blood shot
and many places on the face became
black from the wounds. The shot
struck her below the eye and near the
nose. She came to Baraboo on We'd
nesday that the wounds might receive

not be appeased while the family had
left one vestage of Indian wealth.
Early in the ceremony all tasted, ex-
cept for light meal at sundown, and
only water was drank. This required
the exercise of self denial, for the red
men were then abundantly supplied
with food and drink. The traders had
bought the pelts taken during the
hunting trip and the Indians had an
abundance of rum and eatables; but
this they were forbidden to touch, and
Black Hawk is authority for the state
ment that they were religiously alb
stemious. After the fast there was
feasting, for the Medicine feast closed
with opening all the caches in which
corn and other foods were buried the
fall before. When this had been duly
observed, for it required several days
to enact all the ceremonies, the lodges
were repaired and such fences as were
kept about their corn fields were put
into order for the summers crop.
This manual labor was performed by
the squaws, while the bucks lounged
about talking over their adventures in
the recent hunting trip. The spring
house cleaning and house repairing,
with dressing hides for use as clothing
and preserving meat taken in the
hunt, occupied the time of the women
until the planting season came on,
when they went afield and put the
seeds for the crop into the ground.

BY A DOC TODAY

fang of the upper jaw entering the
right cheek just below the eye, while
the teeth of the lower jaw of the dog
slit open the lower lip of the boy. Doc
tor Kelley bandaged the wounds and

Feasts and Dances.

Perhaps the most important festival
of these warlike people was the Crane
dance This followed the planting of
the spring crops of corn, beans, melons
and pumpkins. In fact the spring
seems to have been the favorite season
for dances and festivals. These began
with the Medicine feast, which was
celebrated Immediately on the return
of the tribe from its hunting trip.
The winters dead were buried and be-
reaved relatives gave oblations after
their own peculiar customs, to prove
humility to the Great Spirit. These
gifts were not bestowed on the church
or charitable institutions, but the
mourners gave to their friends and
enemies alike such worldly goods as
they possessed reducing themselves to
absolute poverty. Mourning, when

PARTONE.

1t was said by Drake, who next to
Schoolcraft was the greatest authority
on the aborigines, that the Sauks and
Foxes were "as true a type of the
American Indian as there is in exist
ence." The Sauks lived for many
years within the boundary of Sauk
county and left their name and athou-
sand legends behind them when they
moved on to the west. Because of the
many marks left by them on our To-
cal institutions, any fact regarding
this peculiar people is of unusual in

has a1ade large contributions. BY the
analysis of soils and the Investigation
of the Eject of environment on the
chemical composition of plants the
bureau of chemistry was able to define
the limits Of sugar beet growing terri.
tory in the United States and open the
way for the establishment of the beet
sugar industry, which promises great
results In the near future.
In 1880 there were only four beet
sugar factories in the United States.
with an invested capital OF 1866 900
and an annual product valued Al
s2S2,572. In 1905 the factories mum
bered 81, the capital invested was $685..
S23.45S, and the value OF products was
S24,S9S,794. From 1900 TO 1905 the
number of beet sugar factories in.
creased 70 per cent; the capital In.
vested in the business increased III
per cent, and the value of the yearly
output increased 233 per cent.
