wedding Superstitions.

Tn snite of all her sound good sense
a German girl cherishes certain SUI
perstitions which she likes to observe
on her wedding day. For instance
the moon must be increasing, neither
at the full nor on the wane, for a wan
ing moon foretells that marriage, love
and luck will dwindle, while full
moon denotes but stationary luck at
the hest: but a waxing marriage moon
will bring an increase Of nuptial hap
piness. health and prosperity, says
Woman's Life.
Neither will any German bride, Of
whatever rank, wear pearls, for she
firmly believes in the forbidd1ng ola
adage, 1.-THE more pearls woman
wears upon her wedding day, the more
tears she sheds in after life" In the
Fatherland, too, if it rains upon the
bridal day, the bride will wisely look
unon the best side Of the matter, ana
regards the glistening raindrops not
as her English sister does-as pro-
phetic of tears, but showers of bless
ings." while if she weeps at her mar
rage, she laughs after, saying she has
snent her tears beforehand, so that
she will have none to shed in her new
home

WOULD ABOLISH
The LAND OFFICE
TREASURER DAHL FAVORS AT.
FILIATION WITH STATE TREAS
URY DEPARTMENT.
MEANS BIG SAVING TO STATE.
No Chief Clerk Has Been Appointed
Since B. J. Castles Resigna-
ton in August.
LOANS LARGE SUMS TO SCHOOLS.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 16.-[Special.l
State Treasurer A. III. Dahl in his re-
port to the governor recommends that
the land office be abolished and that the
work of this department be placed under
the supervision Of the state treasurer.
For fifteen years past B. ]. Castle acted
as chief clerk of this Office, and his resig-
nation last August to make political
campaign brought to the notice of the
land commissioners-secre of state,
state treasurer and attorney general
that this work might be accomplished
with less labor and expense if supervised
or annexed to another department.
The biennial report of the commission
ers just made public suggests that the
work might be placed either with the
state department or with the forestry
commission. At least, the Legislature
will be asked to abolish the office.
Should Be Annexed.
mo appointment has been made to fill
this vacancy and the work of the office
has been promptly and carefully at
tended to by the remaining two employees
in that Office" says the state treasurer's
report, made public today in speaking Of
the resignation of MIR. Castle. "All the
cash transactions of that office are done
with the state treasurer; large part of
the interest ON state lands are sent di-
rectly to this office; many of the inquiries
with regard to that office are directed to
this of1ice-in fact the work Of the two
departments is so closely associated that
| would recommend that the land office
be abolished and the work placed under
the supervision Of the state treasurer"
In his report the state treasurer de-
clares that in any event the work of
tho+ no two
men as at present, and the state can
thus save the salary Of the chief clerk,
namely $500 per year, also $3.50 stenog-
rapher's fees and other expenses con-
nected with a separate department and
besides furnish the state with large office
rooms for the use of some of the over
crowded departments. This can be ac-
complished without any detriment what
ever to the efficiency of that depart
ment."
Many Loans Are Made.
The report of the land office is made
simultaneous with that of the state
treasurer. This department loans large
sums of money to school districts, be-
sides caring for the sale of unoccupied
lands in the state.
'"The large increase in loans from
trust funds to school districts during
the past few years has occasioned great
er receipts than during any like period
in the past" says the report of the
land commissioners. THE aggregate for
the past two years is $67O,421.71 as
against $476, O9S.32 for the biennial term
ending June 80, an increase of 1884,
$3.50 during the term. The receipts
for the forestry reserve funds of $12,-
1899 for trespass and for hay, etc,
during the past two years, indicate that
state lands are receiving better protec-
ton than ever before"

DAHL URGES A CHANGE
STATE TREASURER CRITICISES
CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Will Ask Legislature to Give Depart
ment Heads Power to Discharge
Employees.

MADISON. Wis. Nov. 14.-[Spe-
ciaL THAT it is the purpose of the
state officers to ask the Legislature at
the coming session to amend the state
civil service law is now admitted around
the capitol. The report of Secretary
of State Frear recently issued recon-
mended change in the law as it now
stands. and in his report which will be
issued in few weeks State Treasurer
Dahl will strongly urge the elimination
of certain features of the law that have
been found by him and other state of
hcers to work to the detriment of the
conduct Of business.
The change which Treasurer Dahl will
ask Is to give the heads of departments
the power to remove subordinates for in
competence, drunkenness, insubordina-
ton, ETC., without their having recourse
to the courts.
"Our courts have held that a dis
charged employe has the right to a trial
by jury" says the state treasurer in his
report, which is a departure from the
previous publications in this department.
THE head Of department who finds an
employe who is insubordinate. incompe-
tent, unfaithful or a drunkard cannot
under the construction of the civil service
law discharge such employee without be-
ing compelled to go into court and prove
his case to the satisfaction of a jury OF
twelve men. He must produce witnesses,
books and documents as the case re-
quires, hire his own attorney to look
after the case, and submit to all the in
conveniences and humiliations that a
lawsuit Of several days duration usually
inficts.
'"The state treasurer is required to
furnish surety bond in the sum of
100000 for the faithful performance of
the duties of the office but has nothing
to say as to who shall be associated with
him in handling the important work in
the office, except in the appointment of
an assistant If employees are found to
be obstinate, impolite, not capable of do
ing the work as it should be done, mac
curate, using liquor to excess-such as
any private individual would not tolerate
is compelled to submit or suffer the in
conveniences of a law suit, providing he
keeps within his constitutional powers
in discharging such employees. This is abb
surd in the extreme and has tendency
to disrupt the discipline Of an Office"
ga hearing before the civil service
commission. without attorneys and with
the burden of proof upon the discharged
employee to show religious or political
cause. is all the protection to which an
employee is entitled, consistent with the
spirit Of the law and the responsibility
of the head of the department to the
people for efficient service.
"Under the law, appointments must
be made from the three highest candi-
by the civil service commission. This
furnishes ample protection to the state
and preserves the spirit of the law,
namely, qualification and character, as
the basis of appointment-not friendship
or political favors."

LOW WATER STOPS MILL
Extreme Drought in Northern Wisconsin
Forces Rhinelander Paper Company
to Shut Down.

RHINELANDER. Wis, Nov. a.
Especial 1.-The low water in the Wis
consin river and it's tributaries is caus-
ing many ground wood mills to shut
down for lack of power. The big tur-
bines in the grinder room of the Rhine
lander Paper company were stopped this
week owing to low water, and it is
understood that the plant of the Con-
solidated Pulp and Water Power COM
pany at Grand Rapids, Wis, is shut
down for the same reason The Rhine
lander Lighting company has been
obliged to shut off current for the city
street lights and the conditions are such
that there is little chance of it being
turned on again for some time, as there
is no likelihood of rain at this season
of the year.
