MADISON, Wis, Nov. Ill Special.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 11.-TSpecial.l
Wisconsin is paying larger amounts for
bounties on wolves and other wild ami
mails than any other surrounding state.
according to a statement prepared by
Secretary of State t'rear and made pub
lie today. During the past year this de-
partment has carried on an investiga-
ton of the bounties paid, requiring that
in cases of uncertainty that the scalps be
sent to the department for examination
by Prof. George Wagner of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Acting upon this re-
quest, nearly 800 supposed wolf scalps
over one-half of these were determined
by experts to belong to dogs, foxes and
animals other than wolves.
Saving to State
"In one county clerks report Jack
son county, it appeared that 3S9 bounties
on old wolves, amounting to $1,000, were
paid by that county in 1906" declares
Mr.. Frear. "a like amount was paid
by the state for bounties claimed from
that county during the year. In 1907
many questionable claims were rejected
by county clerks upon advice from this
office, and only sixty-seven bounties
were paid for old wolves by Jackson
county, according to the report. Ihls
resulted in combined saving of S644O
to the county and the state, in claims
presented by that county alone, as dis
closed by comparison of 1906 and
1907 payments. Through information re-
ceived by this office, it is probable that
over $4,000 was thus saved to the
state and county jointly during the year
1907. with a proportionate saving for
1908"
Careful Audit Required.
Notwithstanding some bounties were
doubled by the Legislature of 1907, a
reduction occurred in the amounts paid
by the state and counties in the year
19O7-0S, due largely to the efforts Of
the state department to secure correct
bounty audits Under the Wisconsin
statute, the state pays the same amount
as the county. Following are the
amounts paid by the state within the
past six years:
1908. ..... S12.e99 1905. ........ $780, 61

Careful Audit Required.

No legal discretion is given the state
department in investigating claims, and
there is no authority for refusing to aud
it a properly certified record. eff fur
Their protection is to be afforded the
state the scalps should be submitted
here and provision made for securing ex
pert opinion in cases of uncertainty"
says Mr. Frear. He concludes that the
expenditure of over $25O,O0O within the
past six years by the state is sufficient
to warrant the scrutiny which the de-
partment has exercised for two years.

THE STORY OF OWEN KILDARE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

Young man:
If you think you have not had fair
chance in life, read this brief sketch of
the rise of Owen Kildare of New York
city.
Think of it! This young man at thir-
ty years of age was unable to read or
write. Today he supports himself by
writing.
Kildare was member of a tough
Bowery gang. He was rough, uncouth,
ignorant. He had been orphaned at
the age of seven years and cast into
the streets. Living the precarious life
Of bootblack and newsboy. he slept
in doorways, areas. in barrels. He had
but one ambition. He dearly loved a
fight and wanted to be prize fighter.
For several years he made his living
as a saloon bouncer.
Can any good come out of the Bow
cry? !
Yes. At thirty years of age Kildare
came into contact with gentle girl
who was schoolteacher-a sweet, at
fectionate, wise young woman, pure as
a pearl. The association changed the
whole current of his life. The young
woman helped Kildare to the rudt-
ments of an education. AS he studied
his ideals of life were changed. He
had hard struggle to let 60 of the old
wild ways. Finally he got employment
in the circulation department of
newspaper He studied every spare
moment. 4
One could well wish in reading the
story Of Owen Kildare that he might
have married his Mamie Rose, the girl
with whom he fell in love and who
wrought so great a change in him.
But fate was unkind-or was it I'M
kind?-and his idol died.
To make long story short, Owen
Kildare began to write stories, submit
ting them to the editor Of the newspa-
per where he worked for criticism He
persevered until his sketches possessed
value. They were heart to heart sto-
ries from real life.
Owen Kildare is now well known in
journalistic circles. In newspaper par
lance, his stories of slum life are es-
teemed good stuff" He has also writ
ten several books with good success.
Mamie Rose the story Of his resur-
rection from the depths, made hit. =
Young man: =
Fate is feminine She is also capri
cious If you are afraid of her, you
would better not WOO her. She will
turn you down.
But
If you will look her boldly in the
face and smile at her, she will smile
back at you and shower her gifts upon
you. She is looking for a master.
Owen Kildare had nothing on earth
to recommend him to his jealous mis-
tress excepting his brave soul, his in
trepid will. That was enough.

The Oklahoma plan Of nsuring bank de

The Oklahoma plan of insuring bank de-
posts has received favorable boost from re-
cent failure of small bank there. The avail
able assets of the institution were $4,000 less
than the deposits, yet all of the depositors
were paid Immediately out of the fund raised
by special tax upon the deposits of all the
banks in the state. But the most important
usefulness of the plan would arise in time of
financial stringency for the purpose of allaying
the suspicion that arises at such times
corning banks, and the doing away with the de-
sire to withdraw deposits from the banks.

Caleb Powers has been pardoned by the
governor of Kentucky for a crime which he
may never have committed-the murder of
Governor Goebel eight years ago. About the
only evidence against Powers that he was
Republican, somewhat in sympathy with the
armed mountaineers who were gathering to
prevent seating of Goebel. and the shot which
killed Goebel came from a window in Powers
office, tho Powers himself was absent at the
time. He was tried four times, and convicted
three times, but the trails were so manifesty
unfair that new trail was granted each time
by the supreme court. The trails have been
too much like partzan persecution to be Gre
dit to Kentucky, but the people of Kentucky
themselves wiped out the stain by electing a
Republican governor who would pardon Pow
ers and Howard.

PLATFORM ADOPTED
Declaration Of Principles of the
Republican Party.
MINORITY REPORT OFFERED

Cooper Of Wisconsin Submitted Diff
ferent PIanks on Several of the I'M
portant Issues, but They Were Over
wheImineIy Voted Down.
Chicago, The Republican
national convention adopted the report
of the resolutions committee by viva
voce vote after Overwhelmingly de-
feating the minority report offered by
Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin. The minor
ity report provided for removal of tar
if on trust controlled goods, declared
for physical valuation of railroads,
election Of senators by direct vote
and prohibiting the issuance of injunc-
lions in labor disputes. The platform
as adopted follows, in part:
Tariff.
The Republican party declares I'M
equivocally for revision of the tariff
by special session of congress i'm
mediately following the Inauguration
of the next president and commends
the steps already taken to this end in
the work assigned to the appropriate
committees of congress, which are
now investigating the operation
and effect of existing schedules. In
all tariff legislation the true principle
of protection is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad, together
with a reasonable profit to American
industries. We favor the establish
ment of maximum and minimum rates,
to be administered by the president
under limitations fixed in the law,
the maximum to be available to meet
discrimination by foreign countries
against American goods entering their
markets and the minimum to repre-
sent the normal measure of protection
at home; the aim and purpose of the
Republican policy being not only to
preserve, without excessive duties, that
security against foreign competition
to which American manufacturers,
farmers and producers are entitled,
but also to maintain the high standard
of living of the wage earners of this
country who are the most direct ben
eficiaries Of the protective system. Be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippines we believe in free inter-
change of products, with such linita-
tions is to sugar and tobacco as will
avoid injury to domestic interests.
Currency.
We approve the emergency meas
ures adopted by the government dur
ing the recent financial disturbance
and especially commend the passage
by congress at the last session of the
law designed to protect the country
from repetition of such stringency
The Republican party is committed to
the development of a permanent cur
rency system, responding to our great
er needs, and the appointment of the
national monetary commission by the
present congress, which will impair

THE STORY.

HIRAM, king of Tyre, received the
III news of the death of the good
King David with deep sorrow. He
had been proud to count himself one
of David's friends. Ever SINCE the in
cidents years before which had
brought them together in friendly in.
tercourse these two kings had main
tanned the most cordial relations.
The merchants Of the busy CONNER
cial Tyre found good markets In the
kingdom Of Israel for their merchan.
disc, which came to that port from
all parts of the world, for the Tyreans
were great traders. And in exchange
they took the fruits and the grains,
the sheep and the cattle, which the
land of Israel produced so bountifully.
And so as a result there had come to
exist between the kingdom of Tyre
and the kingdom of Israel the most
friendly intercourse. And Hiram de-
lighted in this friendship which the
good King David showed towards him.
Hiram was a great lover of the truest
and best in manhood, and long before
he had come to the kingdom and
while yet David was fleeing hither and
thither 10 escape the murderoue wrath
OF Saul, he had felt a great adrnira-
ton for the bold young adventurer
who was ever ready TO strike a blow
In defense OF the weak and the op.
pressed. Stories reached him from
time to time OF the bravery and skill
Of the indomitable warrior and his
hardy band, and when a few years
after he CHiraml came to the throne
of Tyre. aud events t%ranspired in Is.
rael which gave David the kingdom,
he sent a deputation with gifts and
cordial messages Of greeting. This
had been the beginning of a close in
timacy between the two, and when a
few years later 1t came to his ears
that David desired to build himself
a house, he had sent the great cedar
timbers from Lebanon, and the house
had been built. And then when he
heard that King David desired to build
a house to his God, he had FASTENED
TO again offer him the timbers from
Lebanon. But for some reason, which
he never clearly understood, David's
plans had been suddenly checked, and
to his offers David had merely sug
gested that perhaps some day he
might renew the offer to his son.
And now that the news had come
