Claims for Bounty.

The Secretary of State has the
following to say about the claims
for bounty on wild animals which
have been paid by the State dur
ing the past year.
In 1907 the county clerks we're
requested to forward scalps to
this department whenever doubt
full as to their character. Act
ting upon such request nearly
300 scalps. were submitted by
different county clerks and were
examined by Prof, Geo. Wagner
of the State Univel sity. Over
one-half of the scalps so Sc bmit-
ted were determined by experts
to belong to dogs, foxes and ami
mails, other than wolves, and the
the county Clerks were so noti-
fed. A small pamphlet was i'm
mediately issued by the depart
ment describing the characteris-
tics of wolves, foxes, and etc.,
and quoting the law, in order to
afford better information to those
who pass upon such claims be-
fore presentation against the
state. In one county clerks re-
port jackson County, it appear
ed that 389 bounties on old wolves
amounting to $3,8 we're paid
Dy that county in 1906. A like
amount was paid by the state for
bounties claimed from that coun-
ty during the year. In 1907
many questionable claims were
rejected by the county clerk up
on advise from this office and
only 67 bounties were paid for
old wolves by that county accord
ing to report. This resulted in
a com bined saving of $6,44 to
the county and state, in claims
presented from that county alone
as disclosed by comparison of
l906and 1907 payments. Through
information received by this Of
ice it is propable that over $780,
900 was thus saved to the state
and counties jointly during the
year 1907 with a proportionate
saving for 1908.

II you Don't Know "Sealshipt" you
Don't no oYSterS.s

"Sealshipt" Oysters are the most
delicious and wholesome of sea foods.
IF you do not like oysters it is be-
cause you have never had oysters
with the actual oyster flavor. You
are accustomed to tub oysters, pack
ed in water and ice. Water bloats and
bleaches oysters.
''Sealshipt" Oysters are shucked
into steel containers, then sealed and
packed with ice around the contain
er. They keep fresh and firm as
the day they were tonged. You
get the unique flavor that suggests
the salt sea in ''Sealshipt" Oysters
and in 'Sealshipts' only. Solid
meats too-no melted ice or doubtful
@sCer for your money.
Order ''Sealshipts'' for dinner to-
day. You can see them at our stores
in the Pure White Porcelain Cases
which bear the Blue "Sealshipt"
Trade Mark. They are delicious.

Bloomer, Wis, Nov. 11.-During
an animated argument as to the
relative merits of the republican and
democratic candidates for tho presl-
dency, a few days prior to the elect
,inn, Miss Maud Ever, popular
teacher at BlOom-r and Robert
Brown wagered on the outcome of
The election. Miss Ever is a stanch
republican and Mr.. Brown is an
equally loyal democrat. The wager
was that the loser should cart the
winner in a wheelbarrow about the
village.
After election both came to reali-
zation of the sensation they would
create If they pulled OFF the event in
daylight, and they therefore decided
to do the ''stunt" at night. At
about p. m. Mr. Brown was seen
by a few persons, paying the bet in
a most approved styl
Richard Deagan and Eustic Holm

however. that in case the looser tip

would be imposed upon him. Mir.
Holm won and Mr.. Deagan paid The
bet in the presence of practically the

The Theatre Forgotten.
How the Realities of a Popular
Rural Play Stimulate
Imagination.

To those who followed the
career of the great rural play
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" to the
extent Of witnessing a large
number of it's performances, the
most notable feature of the drama
is the power that certain of it's
scenes exert upon the audiences
in compelling illusion. Especial
ly is this true of the famous husk-
ing bee scene, in which the color
and humor of the rural festivity
are so vivldly presented as to
make this portion of the perfor-
nance an example of the art
and hence perfect.
The players in this merry
scene are so Thoroughly in sympa-
thy with it. their pranks and
laughter are spontaneous; the
little details supplied in the stage
settings are so perfect that as
the scene advances the audience
gradually cutter into the spirit of
the situation and forget the
theatre. The heated atmosphere
of the playhouse is disapated,
and from the natural simplicity
and life-like charm of the merri-
ment there sweeps over the spec
tator that perfect illusion which
comes but seldom from stage
art. The footlights disappear,
and the actors on the one side,
and the loOkers.on upon the
other seem to meet and mingle
in wholesome enjoyment. It is
safe to say that when the great
rustic play is seen here at the
Opera House on Nov. Oath there
will be few in the audiedce who
will not find the husking bee
scene a perfect realization of the
genuine article.

Elephant Life In the JunqIes.

Without elephants jungles would be virtually impossible. The great beasts are mixture of strength and weak. ness, of craft and simplicity The paths through the jungle from village to village are merely tracks from which the interlacing foliage has been cut and thrust aside and the virgin soil trodden into a black mud After a rain this mud is many feet lecp and no living creature except an elephant, . buffalo or a rhinoceros could labor through it.
