Over 100 Entries in April Exhibit at
Dairy School.

The college of agriculture dairy
school at the University of Wisconsin
received 1877 entries for the April but
ter scoring exhibition, and the work
manship was very satisfactory. Inc
principal fault was in the favors'
which we're mainly from old cream or
milk and overripe or curdy favors.
The higest score, 970S was awarded
Edward Torpey of Waterloo. G. ID.
Carlson, Trade Lake, took second
Mace with 1856, and William Haag
of Garnet third, with 1888. No score
was below 1856, and the total average
was 92.68. There were eighty-five en-
tries scoring 90 or over. In the tests
for percentage of moisture, the highest
content was 1862 and the lowest ia
giving an average of 1877. There were
seventy different towns on the list OF
those scoring above so. 1t was found
that cream containing low percent

st. Paul, April 29.-Thomas Nixon,
hostler employed at the Northern
Pacific roundhouse, was struck by a
switch engine in the Mississippi
street yards and instantly killed. Nix
on was on his way to work in the
roundhouse, where his duty is to take
care of engines. The snow storm,
which was at it's height then, and the
gusty wind, blowing it ten different
directions in as many seconds, blind
ed Nixon so he did not see the ap-
preaching switch engine. The engi-
neer of the switch engine for the
same reason could not see Nixon, and
when he stepped on the tracks in front
of the engine he was run down. His
body was horribly mangled and death

BY setting aside a service of sum-
mons and complaint in the divorce ac-
ton of Oscar Ross against Ida Ross,

ing the papers to a town in Finland
was offered, desertion being given as
the ground upon which divorce was
sought The divorce was granted IN
January. 1906, and in May, 1907, the
wife came over and asked to have the
case reopened. By that time Ross had
again married and gone to live with
his second wife on a homestead IN

been served with the papers and that
nothing of it was known by her for
months. Judge Smith reopened the
case and the plaintiff and defendant
will now each sue for divorce. In the
meantime Ross has two wives.
