CRAZED BY NEW DRINK.
Winnebago Indians Threatened will
Extinction if "Mescale" Traffic
Is Unchecked.

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 27.-[Spe-
ciaL IA strange new liquor, made from
"meScale buttons" the flower of plant
belonging to the cactus family, threatens
in time to wipe out the entire tribe of
the Winnebago Indians. The drink is
strongly intoxicating, and is INDUCED in
to an alarming extent by the redskins.
Worse than the intoxicating qualities of
the "mescale button" fluid, it leads to
insanity of violent form, saps the men
tally of the Indian and soon makes of
him hopeless imbecile.
Congressman Esch has been appealed
to by the mission authorities here for
the purpose of securing congressional ac-
ton to stop the traffic. and the facts
have been reported to the Indian COM
missioner at Washington.
The Wisconsin Indians first heard of
the drink through the Nebraska Winnie
bagOS.

STANDARD NOT RAISED.
luton to Make High School Train
ing Requirement.

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 23.-After a
spirited discussion, led by DR.. J. J.
Wright of Milwaukee, who spoke on
''The Necessity of Dental Legislation in
Wisconsin," the Wisconsin State Dental
society defeated resolution providing
for the appointment of legislative COM
mittee consisting of representatives of
the, organization, state examining board
and the deans of two dental colleges.
The object for the appointment of such
committee was to secure some means
of raising the standard for admission to
dental colleges from two years high
school training to a full high school
course.
It is probable that the resolution will
be taken up again later in the session.

Horses Oyershoe.

Horses undoubtedly require an over
shoe when the ground is snowy and
coated with ice as much as the ayera ge
human being. Drivers, although anx-
ious to protect horses from injury by
falling, have been unable to procure a
practical and satisfactory overshoe.
Those made of rubber prevent the horse
from slipping, but they wear out so
quickly that their cost is prohibitive,

apple growing in that island. Last year,

much as 1900 bushels to the acre, and
one owner of four acres, who picked
over 1000 bushels of marketable fruit
which he sold at As per bushei, reaped

ATTRIBUTE LADS
DEATHTOACC|DENT
Coroner's Jury Exonerates Au-
gust DeImonte for Murder
of Johnnie BuchnOff

Held for five days by the police on
suspicion of having murdered little
Johnnie Buchnoff, whose dead body was
found in bin of garbage at the Gre
matory last Saturday by a workman
just as it was about to be thrust into
the furnace, August Delmonte was re-
leased yesterday after a coroners jury
returned verdict attributing the lads
death to accident.
Several of the workmen employed at
the garbage works testified as wit
nesses, but their statements were in
wide variance to those given to detec-
tives at the time of the discovery of
the boys body. At that time they de-
clared that no garbage had been dumped
for incineration after 4 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. Yesterday 1t was proved
that a load of refuse was dumped there
shortly before o'clock and it is be-
lieved that Johnnie was caught under
the dump and smothered to death.
In the testimony it was brought out
that under the runway upon which the
wagons are driven preparatory to
dumping their loads was a vacant space
of nearly three feet. Johnnie Buchnoff
is supposed to have been hiding in this
place, waiting for an opportunity to
secure refuse candy from the garbage
when the last wagon discharged it's
load and buried him in the dump. The
wound on his head at first attributed to
blow is believed to have been caused
by the pitchfork of a workman delving
in the garbage.
Important testimony not previously
brought out was given by Patrolman
Gus Mogan, who swore that the body of
the boy was buried under at least three
feet of garbage when it was dug out in
his presence.
Delmonte was released at o'clock
in the afternoon at the request of his
attorney, John Spinetti. He returned
to his duties at the garbage works.
