BIRDS KILLED BY HAIL.
Hundreds of Sparrows Victims OF a
Severe Ohio Storm.

Hundreds of sparrows Victims Of q
Severe Ohio Storm.
"A singular feature of the storm
of last week on the East side," said
George Fix of the state house force,
"was the killing of birds by the hail
stones. The area over which the fall
of hail was heavy was not large, but
the stones did pelt down in a way
thar threatened to break the slate in
the roofs. .a
'"Che English sparrows, as every
one knows, choose thick foliage trees
as their roosting places, depending
on the leaves to protect them from
the rain. But the leaves, no matter
how Tick, were no protection from
those heavy hailstones, and the SPAR
rows were killed by the hundreds in
the vicinity of Miller avenue and Bry-
den road.
SIN front Of the Evangelical church
there are lot of thick covered ma
pies, which have formed choice
i. rocstiDg place for the sparrows this
summer There they caught it thick
and heavy, and the slaughter Of tho
birds was fearful. Monday morning
we counted 312 deed sparrows under
those trees, and no doubt many that
were killed were swept into the sewer
| by the s.o-m water that ran through
! the streets. ~-~- #
Some suggested electricity as the
cause, but there was no striking by
| ti;gs thin; in the vicinity, and the wires
Of teleD, one companies do not run
Seen lit by the balls +ones, knocked
into the water and drowned"

About 900 more acres have been found

John b. Wallis

died at his home in Mineral Point
early on Monday morning Feb. 3.
His condition was not regarded as
being serious up to within few days
of MS death. The Immediate cause of
death was an obstruction of the
bowels. An operation was performed
upon him In the hope of saving his
life, but surgical skill proved un-
awaiting and he passed away at the
time above stated. The decendent
was a son of the late Mr.. and Mrs
William Wallis. He was born in the
county of Cornwall, England, on
Sept. 20, 1916, and came with his
parents to America in 184S. On Janu-
airy s, 1870, he was united in marriage
to Miss Sarah Remfrey. The wife
and mother died in May, 1903, and one
son and two daughters survive the
father, namely: Mr.. Blight Wallis of
Perry, Iowa; Mrs. Henry Bray and
Miss Nettie V. Wallis of this city.
Mr.. Wallis was for many years a
resident Of the town of Mineral Point
He held various town Offices and
was afterwards elected sheriff of Iowa
county. Eleven years ago the family
moved from their farm home to their
new home in this city. Mr.. Wallis
was an accommodating neighbor and
friend, and was noted for this atten-
ton and kindness to those in sickness
and affection. H! was an enthusiasts
tic Mason and served in various
positions in lodge and chapter. He
will be missed by the community of
which he has been for so long
an active member. The funeral took
place on Wednesday afternoon under
Masonic auspices. Services were
also held in the P. M. church, Rev.
w. T. Walker officiating.

WORSE THAN FAGNIN'S
SCHOOL.

Truer words were never uttered than
the following, which are taken from a
speech recently delivered by W. j..
Bryan in New York City before the
Civic Forum:
"Gambling is one of the worst of
vices, and gambling in stocks and in
farm products is the most destructive
form in which the vice appears.
Measured by the number Of suicides
caused by the New York stock eX-
change, Monte Carlo is an innocent
pleasure resort by comparison.
Measured by the amount of money
changing hands, the contrast is still
greater In favor of Monte Carlo; and
measured by the influence upon those
who do not gamble, the evils Of Monte
Carlo are insignificant when compared
with the evils of New Ork's CONNER
cial gambling houses. The New York
stock exchange has graduated more
embezzlers than, Fagin's school did
thieves

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Mrs. n. T. Kieffer

upon to mourn their great loss. The
deceased wife and mother was very
highly esteemed by all who knew her.
She was bright and cheerful disposi-
ton, and her home was always a
hospitable one. She also leaves to
mourn her death her aged father,
three sisters and a brother. The
funeral took place on Monday morn
ing with services in st. Mary's Gene
terry The deep sympathy felt for the

REAL ORATORY.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Brooklyn Eagle thus commends
Congressman Murphy's notable speech
for the house of representatives:
Representative James w. Murphy
of the Third Wisconsin district sprung
into prominence this week by an eX-
temporaneous speech that stamped
him as a natural orator and a man OF
brains. Murphy defeated that old
Republican warhOrse, Joseph w.
Babcock, in the 1906 election. The
house was dicu5sing the immigration
question, when Murphy arose and
thrilled those present by dramatic
appeal for the opening of the nations
ports TO the oppressed Of the world.
1t was a brief address, but it had the
ring of true sincerity and the inspir-
ing effect Of real Oratory. Murphy
commanded the closest attention and
drew out rounds Of applause. 1t was
agreed on every hand that he is a

Profitable Publicity.

The president Of the Enterprise bank,
Charleston, S. c., writing to James Fl.
LaCosta, business manager of the
News and Courier, testifes to the val
lie of advertising in that paper. The
bank ran an advertisement which it
changed every day. The result for
the year was 657 new accounts. Bank
advertising is branch of business
which publishers can we'll afford to
encourage. 1t could doubtless be
helped in many instances by Offering
suggestions as to the style of adver-
tisement. For a bank, of course, it
should be short. terse and readable
and copy changed every day.-Ameri-

4 Good Message.

New York Post: 1t is not too much
to say that Mr.. ROOsevelt's special
message will confound his enemies
while giving Joy to all his friends.
Some over-anxious people have feared
that the president would fall below
that high dignity with which he has
hitherto invested his office: that he
would be garrulous, repetitious, i'm
patient, cocksure, querulous, hot
headed and impracticable. But we
now see that all these anticipatory
complaints were unfounded, if not
actually malicious. Let doubters
read the message itself and they can
not fail to be delighted with its calm
ness, it's poise, its tolerance and its
terse writing.

Combine University and Library
Work.

Arrangements have just been com
pleted by the faculty of the state uni
versity by which students Of that insti-
tuition may elect courses in the Wis
cOnsin State Library School, thereby
completing both the university course
aud the library training course in four
years. BY this plan students will fol-
low the usual college courses during
the freshman and sophomore years,
and will take the library school en-
trance examinations at the end of
these two years. In the junior and
senior years they may elect one-third
of their university work in the State
Library School. The coures in libra
ry work include reference, bibliogra-
ply, classification, catalOguing, IL
brary economy, book selection and
public documents. Students will also
have the practice work with the facili-
tics offered by the Free Library Com
mission, the Madison Public Library,
and the University library. Two
months of actual library work in an
approved library, preferably in Wis
consin, will be required by the library
school before its diploma is granted.
This field practice can be done during
the summer following either the jun
Tor or senior year.
