century has been and still is, your
faithful, loving companion.
You have been blessed with chill
dren, and it must be a great satisfac-
tion that they are still left to you to
cheer and comfort you in your old
age.
1t is not, my dear comrade. all of
life to simply have lived. A life
without results has been only partial
ly lived.
As unit in the vast aggregation
of human brings constituting this the
greatest of all human governments,
every man is debtor to the State.
For the protection in both life and
property, given him, he is, In duty
bound to give something in return.
In this you have not been derelict
When the government was assailed
you was one of the units in the grand
army raised in its defense which for
four long years fought its battles,
and fought them successfully too, the
result OF such fighting being the
establishing the government upon a
more sure and firm foundation. In
taking that patriotic stand you made
a great sacrifice. THIS will recall to
your mind the time-saddest perhaps
in your life, when you took leave of
wife and children and turned your
back on home and all that You held
dear. You were oppressed with the
thought that you might never return
to home, wife and children. But you
went. You made the great sacricfie.
! know that you do not rerget making
it. What the reward In the con-
seriousness of duty performed you find
ample reward for the sacricfice made.
In recognition of your worth;
ability, integrity and patriotism. q
comrade, President, Benjamin Harri
son appointed you to an important
judicial position, the duties of which
you discharged 10 highly creditable
manner. That, to my mind, will be
prominent in the many pleasing
reflections Of today. But if / should
venture guess as to what will afford
you the greatest pleasure of all. It
would be that you have not lived tor
self alone.
A mans worth is gagged by the
estimation in which he is held by the
community in which he lives. If
he has been active in all things
promising good to the community, full
of good work, q truthful and law
abiding citizen, fas know you have
been, dying, he will leave his i'm
press upon that community.
I have written at length. Should
you experience any pleasure in reading
what have written, shall feel
amply repaid for its preparation.
In conclusion, it is my prayer, in
which Laura joins me, that God, who
has been so good to you. may con-
tinue His watchful care over you, and
that you may be permitted to cele-
brate many anniversaries of your
natal day. God bless you.
Sincerely your friend,

NEW STATE CAPITOL
TO Be FINE BUILDING
Exterior of West Wing is Nov
Practically Completed.
That Part Expected TO be Ready for Oc-
cupancy When the Legislature
Meets Next Winter.

When the new Wisconsin state
house is completed it will re present
an expenditure of some SIS, 900, 900 and
will be the finest state capitol in the
country. This il. the declaration OF
architects, contractors and others who
have had occasion to examine the
plans of the structure and are also
familiar with other monumental
buildings of like character.
At present the building is growing
on the east and west sides of the di-
lapidated home of the old building
The west wing is practically finished
exteriorly, lacking only some arts
tic stone cutting and the completion
Of the terraces. On the inside much
remains to be done. Floors and parti-
ions are in and plastering is in pro-
gress.
The east wing is an interesting
scene, with workmen putting up and
riveting great pieces of steel and
others putting in place the heavy
blocks of white granite. which COM
pose the external walls. Still other
workmen are laying up the thick brick
walls within the she'll of granite and
connecting with steel frame contruc-
ton. All rests upon a massive con-
crete foundation.
The capitol commission is working
in advance OF the actual performance
of the work. Just now the commits
sion is engaged in letting contracts
for electrical fixtures and decorative
features, among them the designs for
sculptured pediments and paintings
for the supreme court chamber and
other portions of the building. Haste
is being made to get the west wing
faf%enough advanced to allow the
meeting therein of the next legislature
The capitol will stand substantially
upon the same ground on the square
occupied by the old, ruined sandstone
pile. which has served as state house
for half century. But the new build
ing will be about % feet to the west
of the center of the present structure.
this change being made so as to place
the building perfectly central and
symmetrical to the square,
After the completion of the east
wing. the next part of the old build
ing to disappear will be the south
extension, containing the governors
Office, the department of state and
the. statistical bureau on the first
floor and the tax commission, rail
road commission, civil service com
mission, commission of banking,
state superintendent Office adjutant
general g department, dairy and food
commission and other smaller depart
ments above the first floor. The next
following work will be the building
of the dome and finally the north
wing, where the attorney general,
board of control, insurance commits
sion. supreme court and law and
reference libraries are housed at
present This will hardly be accom-
plished before some eight years have
passed-.JaneSville Gazette.

BLANKED AT GALENA
Lancaster Lost Two Games There Aided
by Unfair Umpiring.

by Unfair Umpiring.
Lancaster lost two games to Galen;
Saturday and Sunday, the first by ;
score of to and the second to O.
The two teams are now even on the
number of games won and lost.
The first contest went as a no hit
game for Manager Gillian and he
had the satisfaction the next day OF
seeing his name in big letters in the
Chicago papers. However none of
the dispatches stated how materially
he was aided in pitching his no hit
game by Umpire Hurst Hurst is the
same gentleman who recently stated
that he thought it entirely wrong fol-
a visiting team to get away with big
end of the gate receipts. With this
in mind he evidently does his umpir-
ing. The Lancaster team was given
no show at any time in the game.
When the local boys were at bat any
thing within two or three feet of the
plate went as a strike Close deci-
sions on the bases all were decided
in favor of Galena, and in fact Galena
had really won the game before either
team had made its appearance on the
diamond. Briefly, il was frame up
pure and simple.
During home coming week the
Galena team came to Lancaster and
was badly outclassed in two games
In fact out of town visitors criticised
the management for billing SO weak
a team as Galena was at that time.
Still this bunch went home with the
story that they were robbed of the
games This story was untrue to the
letter. Later when Lancaster split
even with them at Galena one of their
papers had the audacity to criticiseI
Umpire Meneguin for giving Lancas-
ter too square deal. - Meneguin,
the reader will notice didn't umpire
Saturday and Sunday Yes, Galena
is hard to beat. We had to win three
games in one afternoon last year in
order to gain two victories.
Galena was scheduled to play two
games here this week, but Monday
afternoon Gillian, the mo hit
pitcher telephoned up that they had
decided not to fill the dates out of
consideration for the Livingston field
days. How extremely considerable
But doesn't this look like case of
showing the white feather? Els
pecially for team carrying no hit
pitchers?
The score of the game between
Umpire Hurst and Lancaster was as
follows:

Galena 90 1901 90 *-2 5 1
Lancaster 600 900 90 0 OF

horn; Gillian and Fox.
The second game shouldn't have
been shut out. Palmer scored in the
eighth on Hauser's hit. The ball was
fielded to the catcher from left and
Fox didn't touch the Lancaster man.
Nevertheless, our friend "his
Umps' called him out.

operations, the hinge is opened and
the lower joint dropped into the hold.
The canvas carrier, which revolves
around pivots placed at each end Of

wood into pockets thirty inches in
length and forty eight inches wide.
The fruit is loaded into the pockets at
each deck by negroes and is swiftly

ABOUT IMPORTED CORN.

Among the many valuable facts
which have been learned as result Of
corn growing experiments which have
been conducted by experiment sta
lions in various parts Of the country
one of great Importance is that i'm
ported seed, no matter Of how good a
variety or how favorable the condi-
lions under which it has been matur-
ed, will not produce SO large or so we'll
matured crop as seed from ears
which have grown in the immediate
locality. Different conditions of soil
and to some extent of climate seem to
place the imported seed at disad-
vantage, handicap which it does not
overcome short of several years Of &C.
climatZation. During these years it
seems to get adjusted to its environ
ment and is in shape to produce the
maximum crop of which it is capable.
For the reasons above cited it is al
ways advisable for the farmer to Sc
cure his seed just as near home as
possible, from his own field or from
that of near neighbor The disad-
vantage one Is under in sending to a
distant house for his seed, in addition
to that mentioned above, is that the
seed is likely to be of larger variety
of corn than will mature we'll in the
locality, in which case an early frost
would mean the ruin of the whole
crOD

MAKE EN- SCRATCH.

A method that is followed by many
in the feeding Of incubator chicks dur
ing the first few weeks is to scatter a
layer of short cut straw in their feed
ing place, next several handfuls Of pre-
pared dry chick food, then a layer Of
straw, then more chick food. and SO on
until there is pile of seven or eight
inches deep. AS soon as the little fell
lows get to stirring around they are
given access to this food supply and.
following out an Unborn instinct, at
once begin to scratch. The grain forms
complete ration. while the exercise
they get in digging it out makes them
strong and vigorous. The only feeding
care required beyond this is the supply
ing of water and skimmilk If the lat
ter Is available.

COLD STORAGE EXPERIMENT.

In company with number Of north
Iowa horticulturists the writer recently
went to Mason City to witness the final
Inspection Of some twenty-five different
varieties of fail and winter apples
which have beA carried through the
winter in a joint cold storage expert
ment which has been conducted by the
United States department of agrcul
ture In cooperation with the horticul-
tural department Of the State Agricul-
tural college at Ames. The apples in
question had been kept in refrigeration
at temperature of about 81 degrees
+. since the time Of their storage last
September and October. some Of the
fruit being put in storage Immediately
upon picking some week after pick
Ing and the remainder three weeks aft
er 1t had been taken from the trees
The results Of the experiment were
summarized briefly by Mr.. L. S. Ten
ney. specialist in charge of the pomo-
logical experiments carried on In con-
nection with the governments horti-
cultural extension work. Among the
valuable points noted in the results Of
the experiment We're the following:
First. it was noticeable that that
fruit kept best which was put into
storage as soon as possible after pick
ing and which was likewise handled
with most care from the tree to the
package In which 1t was stored. Again,
1t was observed to be true with all
varieties. and especially with the ten

Where apples were wrapped separate
ly in pieces Of paper they kept much
better than when put together loose

was not in a marketa BILE condition. In
emphasizing the necessity Of more
careful handling of fruit intended for
shipping or storage Mr.. Tenney, who
had just come from a six weeks tour
Of inspection through the orange dis
tricts Of California, stated that ex-
periments which had just been con-
cluded by the government seemed to
show that virtually all of the loss
which has been sustained for years
past as result Of the spelling Of lem
ons and oranges in transit, amounting
In some seasons to 100000, has been
due to bruising Of the fruit as a re-
suit of careless handling, and he
stated that what was said with refer
ence to the citrus fruits was equally
true Of apples.

CASH IN KINDNESS.

There is many a dairyman who I'M
derstands the science of feeding his
cows, has his stables well lighted and
ventilated and handles his milk and
cream products in the most sanitary
manner possible who nevertheless does
not seem to realize the financial loss
he suffers every month in the conduct
of the dairy through the Impotence,
roughness and Oftentimes brutality of
the hired man who milks and has the
care Of his cows. To do their best
cows must be gently and kindly treat
ed. and this is not only justifable from
the humanitarian or ethical point of
view, but especially so from the stand
point Of dollars and cents.

The reason why the stomach and in
testines do not digest themselves was
once thought by Weinland. a German
experimenter. to be that they defend
themselves by antienzymes. or antifer-
ments. DR.. Nandor Klug Of Budapest
now reports these antiferments not to
be found. but that the mucin present
in the inner half of the gastric mucous
membrane resists the digestive action
of the trypsin and the gastric juice.
The digestive organs. therefore, protect
themselves by the mucin they secrete.
