Makes Models Of State.

The geological department Of the
University Of Wisconsin has just pre-
pared two interesting Typographical
and geological models of the Baraboo
region Each is three feet eight inches
by five feet.
The model of the Lake Superior re-
gion is the same area covered by the
new map soon to be published on this
area by the United States geological
survey. In connection with mono
graph on this area by President c. r..
Van Hise, Prof c. X Leith and 9th

pertOr and part of Lake Michigan, and
the headwaters of the Mississippi
river and of the Hudson bay drainage,
together with each Of the Lake Supe-
rior iron ranges and the copper coun-

The model of the Baraboo range
Is based upon a topographic map by
the United States geological survey
and the geological work of the Wis
consin geological and natural history
survey as presented in Salisbury and
AtwoOd's bulletin on Devils lake and
the Dells, and DR.. S. Weidman'S bull

To Combat Alcoholism.

The temperance movement is max
ing notable progress, not only in
America and the great northern states
of Europe, but in the southern vine
producing countries as we'll France is
now engaging in a great struggle
against alcoholism, and similar
movement is taking place in Italy.
The societies organized to combat al
coholism in the latter country are
moving toward the formation of ma
tional temperance federation. They
expect to be strong enough by 1911 to
entertain the international Congress
Against Alcoholism; and have al
ready signified their desire regarding
the projected conference OF this date.

From the State Capital
Items Of Importance to Wisconsin
People, Cleaned at Madison.

Madison.-Returns on the congress
sional contest came in slowly, but the
indications were that the next Wis
consin delegation would consist of ten
Republicans and one Democrat.
In number of the districts spirited
contests were carried on, and 1t was
late before definite results were
known. The famous Third district
has been reclaimed by the Repub-
gresham Cooper has been elected
without much of contest. His cleo
ton was never in doubt and the re-
suit therefore is not surprising.
The Second district was in doubt,
but the chances seem to favor Con-
gresham Nelson. However, Mr. Mel
son is claiming his election by only
300, while James T.. Jones of Portage,
the Democratic candidate, does not
concede his election. A spirited con-
test was carried on throughout the
district and Mr.. Nelson ran far behind
his record of two years ago. 1t was
not known until late who had been
elected. Many rural districts were
still missing.

STATE TICKET.

Milwaukee.-Wiscon has given
w. H. Taft it's normal Republican ma
jority of 100000. This is a falling off
from the 100000 of 1904, but is the
usual Republican plurality.
Gov. J. o. Davidson, Republican, has
been reelected, but his vote is far be-
hind that of the head of the ticket,
owing chiefly to the fact that he was
not Endorsed by Senator LaFOllette,
for whose seat he is expected to make
a contest in two years.
Eight Republican congressman have
been elected, two are in doubt and one
Democrat is elected. G.. H. Weisse
carried the hide-bound Sixth Demo

Pullman Is Prosperous.

The question of saloons usually re-
solves itself to a basis of dollars and
cents, the assertion being made that
saloons are necessary from a financial
standpoint for the running OF public
schools and the general city expenses.
In view of this the experience of Pull
man, now dry, located in Whitman
county, some twenty miles west of
Troy, is interesting. Here is a dis
patch from Pullman, taken from the
Spokesman-Review, that is at least
interesting:
Pullman, Wash, July 7. - City
Clerk Wenham has prepared a state
ment OF the financial condition of the
town at the end of June, which is a
satisfactory showing for the work of the
new council. Notwithstanding the loss
OF the saloon licenses, the report shows
that the indebtedness against the cur
rent expense fund has been decreased
$500 since February %. I'VE be-
lieve that in less than two years this
Indebtedness will be entirely wiped
out, said Mr.. Wenham.

The Illinois Catholic Total Abstin-
ence societies, in Chicago meeting,
June %, passed the following resolu-
tons:
I'VE condemn the violation Of our
Sunday closing laws by saloon keepers
nominally Catholic.
we condemn the disrespect by
Catholic saloon keepers toward the
teachings Of the church with regard to
their trade.
I'VE prayfully hope for the COM
plete elimination Of the saloon.
I'VE recommend the work of local
option.
we recommend the work Of all So
cieties that have for their object the
lessening of the evils resulting from
the liquor traffic.
I'VE condemn in unequivocal
terms the open saloon on Sunday.
I'VE unhesitatingly condemn the
candidate for public Office who disre-
CARDS existing laws with respect to the
saloon.
I'VE recommend the teaching Of
total abstinence in our >parochial
schools.
Thanks be to God for the radicals
and cranksl They are useful piece
Of machinery for the uplift of the race.
1t would be right to blow up the
saloons of this country as public enc
mics if there were no other way to get
rid OF them"
These were some OF the sentiments
expressed in resolutions adopted yes
terday at the 37th annual convention
of the Catholic Total Abstinence union
of Illinois, says the Tribune.

For Better Country Roads.

II. Torbert told a reporter, but what
impressed me more than anything else
was the excellence of country roads in
the southern part Of the state. AL
though this has been, as you know, an
unusually wet spring, we rode humid
reds of miles over earth roads that
were almost as smooth as the proven
bal billiard ball, that had no ruts and
presented an even, elastic surface. The
explanation is the King road drag, which

A Silver Dollar.

An exchange says: Did you ever
study silver dollar7 Every mark on
it is made for purpose, and it is in
teresting to know about some of them.
You will notice that around the edge
of the dollar is raised ring. This is
to keep the face of the coin from wear
ing away when two coins are rubbed
together. The little scallops on the
inside of the raised ring are called the
milling. All around the edge of the
dollar are little parallel marks, close
together. These are called the reed
ing" and are made to keep dishonest
people from shaving off the dollar. The
dollars now being minted bear the
head OF liberty on one side. The head
is not designed from the Imagination
OF an engraver. A young Philadelphia
lady named Anna Williamson pos
sessed such classic features that the
government eugraver secured her per-
mission to copy her head. The Ameri-
can girl ought to take some pride in
the fact that one of her countrywomen
was honored in this manner. On the
reverse side of the dollar our national
bird, the eagle, is shown. In one
talon is bunch of arrows and in the
other an olive branch. That signifies
that our country is great either in war
or peace. Partly surrounding the
eagle is laurel wreath. The laurel
wreath has been the symbol OF victory
and possession since the days of
ancient Greece. 1t adorned alike the
brows Of poets, sculptors, athletes and
warriors. Just below the wreath you
will sometimes find small letter. II
it is an 0 the dollar was minted at
New Orleans. The letter S indicates
that it came from San Francisco. If
there is no small letter shown you
know that the coin was made at the
mint in Philadelphia. II silver dol
lar was melted it would not be worth a
dollar, because it does not contain
enough silver. 1t is the stamp of the
government which causes it to pass at
its present value. Take all the silver
dollars you have and examine them to
see where they were made. Then
think how easy it is to lose them and
deposit them in banks for safekeeping,

Wall Street Journal: It is easy to
criticize the new currency bill for it is
by no means perfect revision Of our
currency system. 1t does not require
much intellect to describe it as a
makeshilt' OF "hodgepodge" or a
nostrum." 1t may be all Of these
things and yet a necessary piece Of
legislation. 1t is better to look upon
what it actually does rather than upon
those things which it does not do.
In the FIRST place, it certainly does
provide measure Of protection
against the worst effects OF such a
financial crisis as we had last winter.
It provides for the issue Of emergency
currency up to $500, 0O0, 900 that can
be issued quickly by national banks
in case any scare developed that led to
withdrawal Of reserve money into
boarding places. That is something so
Invaluable to the financial system OF
the United States that, however de-
fective the mechanism to accomplish
this may be and however short it may
fall of thoroughgoing reorganiza-
ton Of the banking and currency laws
OF the United States, it must be ac-
cepted as great relief measure. 1t
is panic insurance.
Moreover, in accomplishing this it
does so with frank acknowledgment
that the law is temporary expedient.
This acknowledgment is made in the
last section Of the bill, which provides
that the act shall expire by limita-
tion on June 80, 1914. In the mean
time national monetary commission
is provided for, which is to report what
changes are necessary in the laws re-
lating to banking and currency. The
purpose is that between now and 1914
really comprehensive and scientific
system OF banking shall be enacted.
1t would have been better that this
monetary commission was composed in
part of a certain number of outside ex-
perts instead OF entirely by members OF
congress. But better any monetary
commission than none at all, and bet
ter a makeshift temporary law for
emergency circulation than no such
law at all.

Hold Shah Prisoner.

st. Petersburg dispatches
received here from Teheran give a
tragi-comic description of the position
of the shah of Persia, who is virtually
prisoner in the hands of wild tribes
men summoned to Teheran to pro-
tect the throne against the revolu-
tionaries, but who have become a
greater menace to the monarch than
his other foes. The tribesmen are
eXtravagant in their demands for mon
ey which the shah is unable to grant
and they threaten to destroy the pail
are and pillage Teheran. The $25 900
secured from the Russian bank recent
ly as loan on the crown jewels of
Persia, already is exhausted General
Liakhoff's cossacks are unable to
make any Roadway against the tribes
men, who have refused to permit the
shah to leave the camp at Badeshakn
for Saltanbad, where the harem is now
staying.
Famine is reported to be imminent
in southern Persia and this promises
to bring about a crisis in political af-
fairs in the autumn.
