RAIL WAY TO BE SOLD
FORECLOSURE ORDERED FOR WIN
NEBAGO TRACTION COMPANY.
Property of Concern May Go Under
Sheriff's Hammer, to Be Re-
organized.

OSHKOSH, Wis, June 16.-[Special.1
Judgment of foreclosure was ordered
today in circuit court here in the case OF
the Trust company of America against
the Winnebago Traction company OF
Oshkosh, an action which was COM
menced in May, 1907. By this foreclos-
ure the plaintiff will now be entitled to
come into court and ask that the prop
erty be sold by the sheriff under the
proceedings.
The amount of the mortgage upon
which the original action was based. was
1871 900 with interest from April l,
1907, since which time the company has
defaulted in paying interest. In addition
to these amounts there are receivers GER
tificates aggregating nearly $4,000 and
also receivership expenses.
Attorney H. l. Weed of the traction
company stated today that this foreclos-
ure would not affect the public in any
way and that it is merely a legal form
and the prospects are the railway system
will be sold to the highest bidder which
will probably be the reorganization com cor
mittee of the traction company. This
committee controls almost all OF the
bonds of the road so that there VIII
probably be no real change In ownership

EMERY BELIEVES
IN TESTING COWS
WISCONSIN DAIRY COMMISSIONERS
CRITICISES ATTEMPTS AT
CURING.
WANTS PLAGUE KILLED,
Badger Stock Authority Says Tuber-
cular Cures of Eastern States
Is Unsafe.
TAINTED MILK is COOKED.

MADISON, Wis, June 15.-[Special.]
Dairy and Food Commissioner J. @.
Emery of Wisconsin takes issue with
the new commissioner of agriculture of
New York, who has signalized his taking
control by practically abandoning the
tuberculin test for bovine tuberculosis.
For this, except in extreme cases, the
New York man will substitute physi-
clans examination for all suspected ami
mails and segregation.
wisconsin is doing all that it can to
rid the state of tuberculosis by the best
known method in the scientific world,
the tuberculin test" said Mr.. Emery.
'"This method has proven practicable,
and if the people of New York want to
drink milk from tubercular cattle and
can. Wisconsin will not.
Try to Kill the Plague.
'This state is spending money to kill
the plague and the test is the best meth
old to detect the disease, which in many
cases is not always apparent from
physical examination"
Mr.. Emery thinks that the test has no
bad effect upon cattle that are not con-
taminated, despite the views OF the New
York man. In some quarters. according
to the New York commissioner, there is
growing antagonism to the use OF the
test. 1t is claimed that it makes well
cows sick for two or three weeks, during
which time their milk is not fit for use
and in some cases dalrymen claim that
it permanently weakens some animals;
A New York paper commenting on the
matter says Massachusetts has already
discarded it, and now New York follows,
though both retain it as test for suS-
pected cows imported from other states.
The new method is to separate all ami
mails showing symptoms of tuberculosis
from the rest of the herd, making two
herds. The milk from the supposed tu-
bercular cows is either thrown away OF
is pasteurized before being sent to the
market. The calves are allowed the use
of the mothers milk only after it has
been cooked and then cooled.
Plan to Cure, Not Kill.
''The segregated animals are given
special treatment, with careful santa
ton in their surroundings. They have
light and we'll ventilated stables, abun-
dant fresh air and regular exercise, with
clean. wholesome food. This is said to
result in cures and to gradually eradi-
cate the disease without the tremendous
loss occasioned by the old plan of using
tuberculin and killing all animals that
do not show a clean bill. This expert
ment will greatly interest all dairymen.
If the cows can be saved and at the
same time tuberculosis eradicated, it
will be a great gain. but there will be
many Missourians while New York is
proving if this is possible"

BOOTHS GRAVE NOT NEGLECTED.
Actors Monument in Mt. Auburn Shows
Only Usual Marks of Time.

Although Charles Leonard Fletcher,
writing to a New York newspaper, states
that the grave of Edwin Booth in Mount
Auburn cemetery is in a neglected con-
dition and that the headstone is insecure
on its base and is badly cracked, an ex-
animation of the grave and the monu-
ment does not bear out the statement.
The Booth lot, which is situated near
the corner of Orange path and Mound
avenue, just at the right of the cemetery
tower, is excelently kept and all the
surroundings of the graves of Booth, his
wife and his son are seemly and in per-
feet order.
Booth died in 1893, and his headstone,
which was erected soon after, has there
fore endured the weathering of nearly
fifteen years. 1t does show the marks
of time in some degree and there is
slight crack about midway of the stone
where a bronze bas relief of the actor is
secured; this crack, however, is not likely
to extend for years to come. The head
stone is not 'tottering," as the New York
newspaper claims, but is fastened Sc
curely to it's base. Moreover it cannot
be learned at the cemetery office that
the officials of Mount Auburn have con-
Grossman, Booths daughter. and that
the Players club will cooperate with the
family in repairing the headstone, if it
shall be found necessary.-Boston Trans

FACULTY is ROASTED.
Wisconsin University Graduates Take
Parting Shot at Old Masters.

MADISON, Wis, June 16.-[Special.l
AT the class day exercises yesterday at
the university, the faculty was unmerci-
fully scored for neglecting students, and
selfishly devoting too much time for
the establishing of the Faculty club
house and other pleasures.
The students and alumni also criticised
the lack of spirit among the older grad
yates, who pay but slight attention to
the needs Of their alma mater. 1t was
brought out that it was the duty of
every alumnus to watch the procedure of
the Legislature every year, and lobby
in the interest of his university.
The senior class last night presented
Gilbert & Sullivans comic opera, 1.-The
NIikado'' at the opera house. The play
was we'll rendered. Charles Byron and
Ferdinand Bartlett of Milwaukee took
n leading part in the play.
The class statistics show that the sos
seniors of the 1908 class represent nine
teen nationalities, that thirty-two states
and foreign countries are claimed as
birth places, and that 376 or Is per cent
of the class were born in Wisconsin. The
average age of the class is % years,
3 months and % days.

ALIVE IN cAPsizED VESSELS.
Miraculous Escapes of Men Entombed in
Sunken Ships.

A striking example Of one among the
many strange accidents that befaH sail
ors was reported the other day from
Newcastle, New South Wales.
The barkentine Kate latham turned
turtle in gale, and one Of her crew
was shut up in her hold; The survivors,
who had climbed on her keel as she
heeled over, naturally took 1t for
granted that he was drowned. What
was their surprise therefore presently
to hear faint knockings from beneath
their feet, evidently made by their I'M
prisoned comrade.
Help was at hand, and hole was cut
through the ships bottom, when the man
was hauled out, little worse for his ter
rible experience. He had, it appeared,
been kept alive by the air which had
been imprisoned in the hull when the
vessel capsized and which, becoming
compressed as the water rose, had event
ually stopped it's further encroachment.
He had used a balk of floating timber
to support himself.
His imprisonment lasted for two hours,
and in the cabled reports sent to this
country the incident is characteristic as
unparalleled. This, however, is by no
means correct There are several cases
on record Of men having lived in SIM
liar circumstances in the hulks of cap
sized ships not hours only but days,
the most remarkable authenticated in
stance being that of Capt. Engallandt
of the Erndte, who was rescued alive
after an entombment lasting altogether
eleven days eighteen hours.
During this period the derelict, drift
ing bottom uppermost, was sighted by
the masters of several vessels, all Of
whom. however, passed nonchalantly by,
none imagining for a moment that the
semi-submerged and capsized hulk con-
tanned, shut up in its vitals, a living
man.
Eventually the Erndte drifted ashore
near Danzig, and Capt. Engallandt was
taken out alive, although greatly

Owing to the apparent movement Of the
sun the rays from the solar orb are
never stationary for a single minute on
any part of vegetation. Another special
feature is the placing of water screen
so that the electric rays passing through
this medium are robbed of most of their
heat. Very much the same process goes
on in the case of the sun and our world.
The rays of light as they reach us have
been toned down from much of their
ferceness because they have passed
through that which is practically wa
ter screen composed of countless myriads
of moisture particles which go to make
up our atmosphere. world Today.

Electric Gardening,

The new system of plant culture which
has been introduced by B. II. Thwait,
an electrical engineer, undertakes to sup
ply all the necessities of the living plant.
From a single gas engine, connected
with an electrical apparatus, it is posi-
BILE to obtain artificial light, carbonic
acid gas, heat and energizing currents.
In these experiments it has been found
to be a very important one to have the
electric arc continuously on the move.
This is arranged by afixing the lamp to
a small motor which runs up and down
the house on rails. A moments thought
will show the purpose Of this device.
