Rupert and girl about her own age.
named Williams, was roller skating on
the pavement in the street, and two of
them had caught the end board of
wagon going north, permitting them
selves to be drawn along. Suddenly
when the automobile which was pro-
ceeding in the same direction ut Il slow
rate of speed, was but Il few feet be-
hind. La Nergne dropped her hold and
ScurrIed to one side directly i'll front of
the machine. In another moment she
was struck and sent headlong across the

seriousness after some hours, but today

at a high rate of speed. Mr.. HambitZer,
who in addition to being director Of the
Pfster hotel orchestra is also an in
structor i'll the Conservatory of Music,
denied today that the machine was tray

MADISON ELECTION
FIGHT is DECIDED
SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DECI-
SION OF CIRCUIT JUDGE IN
GUSHING ALDERMAN.
FRAUD IN VOTING CHARGED.
Charles Trask Continued in Office Pend
ing Final Outcome of the
Scrap.
OTHER MATTERS ARE DISPOSED OF

MADISON, Wis, March 31.-[S pe-
cial. Charles Trask of this city will be
compelled to give up his position as al
derman of this city, the supreme court
having affirmed the decision of the lower
court in ousting him from office. The
case is a peculiar one, and involves tech
nlcallties in the election law.
Election Is Contested
When Trask was running for Office
the election canvassing board found that
he had received l5S votes and that his
opponent, Alexander O'Neill, had re-
ceived only 157. The election was con-
tested, however. and the court found
that one man who was not qualified had
voted for both candidates and two 9th
ers who were not registered and did not
possess attidavits showing that they were
qualified to vote had cast their ballots
for Trask.
Trask was then ousted from Office ON
lnally, and he appealed to the supreme
court. He remained alderman, however,
by reason of Il restraining order granted
by the court pending the decision on his
appeal.
New Trial in Rowley Case.
The supreme court ordered new trial
in the case of Lottie May Rowley VS.. the
Chicago Milwaukee x ST. Paul Railway
company. The plaintiff alleged that while
out walking with gentleman friend
i'll Mather, Juneau county, she was
struck by truck which was started
rolling down a depot platform by NOV
ing train and sustained severe injuries.
In the lower court the jury awarded her
damages i'll the sum of $1,000. The judge
thought that this was excessive and she
agreed to take $1,000. bur an appeal was
taken because the judge refused to sub
NIT certain questions to the Jury.

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use o.
the Moist subsoil.

How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use Of
the Moist subsoil.
u Syria and Palestine from the be-
ginning Of April until October there
is practically no rain. yet in July the
fields TEEN with vigorous growth
of watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers,
etc., all fourishing without artificial
watering, although at that time no
rain has fallen for many weeks.
In fact the Syrian peasant, from the
moment his seed has been sown,
prays that no rain may fall. During
the period of growth of crop tie sur
face of the soil to depth Of six or
eight inches is perfectly dry and loose.
Below this surface layer will lie found
moist soil, in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. III this moist
subsoil plants continue to grow until
the late autumn. When the crop Is
removed in the autumn the rains COM
mence and the land is ploughed after
each heavy rain as soon as the soil be-
gins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
view in ploughing-to furnish a IA
vorable surface for taking up all the
water and to prevent its upward
evaporation from the subsoil. The
great point is to keep the upper six
inches of soil perfectly loose and fri.
able, SO that the moisture from below
is not drawn upward and lost in
evaporation, but does not ascend high
er than the compact subsoil that is
not broken up by the plow. For this
reason the ploughing is shallow, aver
aging from four to six inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is ploughed to depth
Of about six inches, and the seed is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the piow, falls on the damp subsoil
and is covered by the soil closing over
behind the ploughshare. From this
time the upper stratum of loose soil
prevents the escape of moisture up
ward beyond the wet subsoil on which
the seeds rest and into which their
