perience and Efficiency.

ATLANTIC CITY. N j., October III
There was long and interesting discus
sion at today's session Of the annual
meeting of the American Association of
Public Accountants. which opened here
yesterday. on questions dealing with the
practice and procedure OF accounting.
The discussion followed the presentation
of a paper on the subject prepared by
A. Loves Dickinson of New York. who
went over thoroughly the various ques-
tons of present-day methods OF account
ing. In taking up the auditing OF ac-
counts OF corporations Dickinson favored
the English method OF having public ac-
countants appointed by stockholders Of
corporations rather than by the directors
He pointed out that II a public ac-
countant made an unfavorable report to
directors they could suppress the report.
and that the accountant would have no
right to communicate the true facts to
the stockholders.
Dickinson pointed out. from an &C.
countants point of view, the dangers
of the compulsory government aldit.
The government auditors, he said. are
limited in their examinations by law. and
the system of filling government appoint
ments is not conducive to the creation
or maintenance Of an experienced and
efficient staff

WORLD COCOA TRUST NOW.
Monopoly Proposed Throughout Pro
ducinE Countries to Raise Prices.

A world cocoa trust is being organized
in the countries producing that article.
according to a report from Consul General
Anderson at Rio dc Janciro.
He says the movement Is In progress i'm
Brazil. the largest producer: that action
has been taken In Ecuador. Santo Domin-
90. Trinidad and San Thome and that the
low price Of cocoa has led to a desire on the
Part Of representatives of Portugal and
the countries in the northern portion of
South America that something be done TO
protect the industry.
The chief occasion for the proposed or
ganization. as announced by its pro-
motors In Brazil Is the somewhat extra
ordinary fluctuations in the price of cocoa
in the past few years. the present great
depreciation causing unusual complaint.
The purpose. they say. is TO resist the
spectators by controlling the price of the
product in the markets of the world.
The total production of cocoa in the
world at large is generally placed at
34O.oo00oo pounds. of which the United
States consumes about onc.dfth.

ENJOYS A MONOPOLY.
Solenhofen, Germany, Controls Sup.
ply of Lithographic Stones.

From the little hill town of Solenhofen.
near Nuremberg. Germany. practically
the worlds supply Of photographic stones
has been obtained for more than a CEN
fury. Consul Harris reports that the in
dustry has never been a source Of great
profit to those engaged in it. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the amount of dead work
in the quarries is large, and the proper
ton Of perfect stone of marketable size
so small as to leave little margin Of profit
at the prices at which the stones are sold.
The demand has not rapidly increased
in recent years. At the present rate OF
quarrying the supply at Solenhofen
should last for from 100 to 200 years. or
even longer. The stones are exported to
all civilized countries of the globe. Ger
many is the largest buyer; France, Italy.
England and the United States are the
next in importance in the order named

He Reasoned it Out.

A very amusing incident occurred in
this city one evening during the week.
A little tot, about two years of age
WIS playing at table upon which
there was a lighted lamp. Being
inquisitive, he put one Of. his hands
against the chimney and of course,
removed it instantly, somewhat
ang cred by his experience. After
thinking the matter over he went into
the kitchen and soon returned with a
small pail Of water and climbing upon
u chair he pr oceeded to pour the water
into the lamp chimney, much to the
astonishment and amusement of his
parents. The little fellow had reason
ed it OUT that if water would put out
fire and cool heated articles, it would
have the same effect upon the lamp
and his experiment proved > success.

The Only One Left.

When Fort Sumpter was fired upon
April -, 1861, a company to serve for
three.mOnths was organized In this city,
but before the company could be assigned
to the First regiment of Wisconsin in
fantry volunteers the call came for the
enlistment Of three hundred thousand
volunteers to serve for three years. Will
liam Martch Of this city was a member
of the company which was mustered out
and most of the members reenlisted in
three year service becoming Co. A, Third
regiment Wisconsin infantry volunteers,
and served Throughout the civil war and
Saw hard service and made a splendid
record. Of the original company enlist
ed Mr., Martch believes himself the only
one living, all the others having crossed
the divide between time and eternity.

Shows Big Growth.

The members of the Modern Wood
men of America are certainly to be
congratulated upon the showing made
during the past year. From small
beginning in 1888, the suciety has
grown until now 1t is the largest fra
ternal beneficiary Society in the
world. The amount of money it has
paid to the widows and orphans of
deceased members reaches into the
millions. This vast sum of money
has not gone into the home of the
rich, but it has been PLACED, to u
great extent in the homes of some
workman who has struggled against
great odds in this world that he
might leave something for his wife
and little ones when he should be
called to the great beyond. The
society mas closed the doors of the
aims house in the face of many q
widow and her little ones. It's bene-
fetal work has been felt ia Water
town where there ar. many members.

MILITARY BOYS TO
GIVE SHAM BATTLE
10 BE GIVEN ON N. w. u. CAM
PUS TOMORROW.
Captain kOehler VIII RehedrSe the
Men This AfternOOn-First Part
an Exhibition Drill With Band
Entertaining Spectacle Takes
Place at 100 O'clock.

Capt. Koehler will rehsarse his en-
tire military program this afternoon
IN order to have everything IN tip top
order for the sham battle which will
take place on the college campus at
one o'clock sharp tomorrow. The
first part of the proceedings will be an
exhibition drill in which the entire
band also plays its part. Immediately
following this will be the sham battle
representing a series of sklrmishes
and battles between the regulars and
the rebels in which the latter are
finally subdued Capt. Koehler has
been unceasing in his efforts to per-
feet truly military plan of battle IN
order that the exhibition given under
his supervision may excel any one that
has heretofore been rendered. Of
course to satisfy the warlike spirits
of an American public, there must be
noise and enough smoke to Jingle the
nostrils of all who are present. For
this, Capt. Koehler has also made
ample provisions, having purchased
over two thousand shells, all of which
must be exploded before the rebels
lay down their arms For anyone
whose ardor has not been COOLED after
such disturbance in the atmosphere,
there is but one course remaining en-
listment. Owing to the fact that
many Of our benevolent business men
have contributed literally to the COM
pany's fund and that many others still
contemplate doing so, there will be no
admission charged. The battle is free
for all who care to meander to the
college campus.
From here it is but a few blocks
to Washington park, where the great
est baseball game of the season will
be pulled off about half an hour after
the battle between-hut you all
know who the contestipg nlnes are to
be.

WOULD MAKE GREAT
MARSH LAKE AGAIN
Move to Have a Dam Erected
at the City Of HOT-
icon.

Mayville. Wis, May 28.-The
Dodge County Banner, German
semiweekly newspaper of Mayvrlle.
is publishing series of articles tt nd
ing to arouse movement to have
dam erected ut the city of Horizon
with view of creating again Horizon
lake. "the biggest artificial expanse
of water in the world.' The cele-
brated Horizon marsh, the drainage
of which has been rendered impossible
through late decision of the Wiscon-
sin supreme court, Is, according to the
papers, at the present time an eye
sore and nuisance. 1t is sixteen
miles long and between three and five
miles wide and drains, as has been
testified to by experts, the immense
area of square miles of the sur
rounding counties OF Dodge, Washing
ton, Fond du Lac and others. There
cannot be any doubt but what the
marsh would be turned into splendid
lake, serving as a basin for all the
head waters of Rock river and &C
cumulating valuable water power + r
the use of industries in such cities
below as HustIsford, Oconomowoc,
Fort Atkinson, GAINESVILLE and down to
the Mississippi. AS a matter of
history such lake existed between
the years of 1848 and 1868.
The Mayville paper thinks that it's
policy i'll regard to this question il
| right in line with the sentiments for
the preservation of the nation s
natural resources, which but few
weeks ago eliminated in the con-
fernce of the governors OF the several
states in the White house.
One of the articals treats the histor-
ical and geological side of the question
and another points out the many ad-
vantages that could be derived from
the prof eet by the adjoining property
owners, the sportsmen and all lovers
of nature i'll general.
1t can be truthfully stated that
sentiment in Dodge county is quickly
rallying around this idea and that the
population up here i'll general is
beginning to sit up and take notice.
The advocates of this Huricon lake
scheme will make an effort TO enlist
the services of their members of the
Legislature as we'll as of the repre-.
sentatives in congress, because the
course of Rock river through Wiscon-
sin and Illinois involves an interstate
feature. At all events development.
are sure to follow the very bold stano
the Mayville paper has chosen to take
in the matter of great public interest.

the famous Beloit College, noted all
over the United States, in the line of
oratory. for it's long string of inter-
State victories. He has lost none Of
mis- ability as college orator and has
certainly upheld his end of the game
at all stages in the instruction of our
men. Starting with view to win

better than does the writer of this

different tracks which would have
proven DISASTROUS in the end had it not

time.
A regular storm period begins on
the 9th extending to July End CEN
trail on the 18th. Within three days
of the 18th, seismic commissions and
volcanic eruptions will reach a gener-
al crisis in many parts of the world.

Tn the Social Realm

The pupils of the school of Miss
Lydia Schmidt's school, District No.
7, on rural route No. 5. gave very
interesting little entertainment last
evening. The scholars rendered a
highly enjoyable musical and literary
program, after which the audience
listened to an instructive talk on
"Holland," by Miss Ethel Pangborn
of the Watertown High school. When
the entertainment was completed, the
heavy RAIN made it impossible for the
crowd to dispense. Most of them
remained and an hour or two was
pleasantly passed in dancing and
listening to music. There are &C.
casionally cases where there are
things for which we are sorry for
and glad of it. The downpour of rain
last evening was one of them, no
doubt, with those who assembled at
District No. 7.
