NEW CULT FOR INDIANS.
Redslzin Evangelists Invade Haunts OF
Would Eliminate
Medicine Dance.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, May
19.-[Special. IA new religious cult
which is causing much feeling and no
little trouble among the Winnebago In
dams of this locality has been intro
duced by Sam Blowsnake and Charles
Stoey. The new evangelists who would
do away with all the oldtime ceremonies
and tribal rights are not very well re-
ceived by the tribe.
They have ordered the preachers out
of camp ana placed ban on the piute,
so-called, fungus growth like a mush-
room which comes from Texas and costs
about $3.50 a pound. Those who par
take of it are absolved.
The new religion has got a start in
Nebraska, and party of the new con-
verts will be here to help spread the
gospel of the piute in a short time. Old
members of the tribe are hostile to the
new religion which promises to do away
with the medicine dance and all other
fantastic ceremonies so dear to the
heart of the Indians.

Legislature Will Be Housed in New
Quarters Next Session.

MADISON, Wis, May 18.-[Special. ]
The work on the new capitol building
has progressed as far as had been previ-
ously anticipated according to Lew f.
Porter, secretary of the capitol building
commission. The west wing will be
ready for occupancy January /, and the
laying of stone on the east wing will be
started this week. 1t is anticipated that
the east wing will be ready for occu-
pancy by July 1, next, and then the work
of tearing down another wing will be
started. 1t is quite probable that the
south wing and the dome will be the next
portions of the old building to be torn
down.
The west wing is about ready for plas-
tering. The rooms have practically all
been partitioned off and this work will be
started at once.
The west wing will be used to house
the Legislature, which will convene here
next January. A temporary connection
will be made by wooden stairs with the
rotunda of the old building.

supervised the raids on two resorts al
midnight A resort recently opened by

WALK 245O MILES.
Biggest West to East Walk Ever Ac-
complished-Win Fifteen Hun
dred Dollars.

Over mountains and through snow,
through wet, slush and mud, freezing at
times, and oppressed by heat at others,
William Jackson and E. T. Hay, two
sturdy Scotchmen, walked every mile
of the way from Seattle to Chicago, just
arriving within few hours of the time
limit, thereby winning a purse of Eff
teen Hundred Dollars given by the
Seattle Athletic Club, for accomplish
ing this feat within the prescribed time.
Jackson and Hay left Seattle with but
Five Dollars in money, were obliged to
earn their way as they went and leave
no unpaid bills, and complete the jour
ney in ninety days.
An interesting incident in connection
with the walk, was that each of the con-
testants wore Il pair of the well known
Mayer shoes, that neither ripped nor
lost stitch during the entire trip of
.2450 miles-the hardest test any shoes
could be put to-speaking volumes for or

CHAMPIONS HELLO GIRL
ATTORNEY TELLS RATE COMMITS
SION THEY ARE UNDERPAID.
Says Better Telephone Service Is De-
pendent on Better Conditions
Of Operators.

MADISON, Wis, May 18.-[Special. ]
Fred G. Lorenz of Milwaukee appeared
in an argument before the railroad rate
commission today regarding the service
of the Bell Telephone company in Mil
waukee. HIS argument in opening was
primarily an argument in favor of raising
the wages of the telephone operators, de-
claring that this is the only way to i'm
prove the service of the company.
Mr.. LOrenz criticised the company for
changing help so often. Of the 500 girls
employed by the company on September
10, last, over 25O were receiving less
than rs cents per day, he said This
means they had not been in the employ
of the company for three months.
Mr.. Lorenz said that the compliments
against the service Of the telephone COM
pany in Milwaukee contended that the
force of operators should be increased;
second, the young, inexperienced girls
should be eliminated, and only those ex-
perienced in answering $50 calls per
hour and having a standing for accuracy
Of at least 50 per cent, should be en-
ployed. Mr.. Lorenz contended that the
girls should be employed for only eight
hours and they should not be compelled
to work every Sunday.

ed the end. He leaves a wife, a daugh-
ter and four sons, A. Pearce, Scott,
Clark and Claire. He was the second
master of the Ashland Blue lodge and a

GOV. DAVIDSON RETURNS FROM
WASHINGTON ENTHUSIASTIC.
Says Roosevelt Dominated Meeting of
Governors, Which Was Without
Political Significance.

MADISON, Wis, May 19.--[Special.]
PERSONALLY, I may say that 1 had a
most enjoyable and profitable visit in
Washington" said Gov. Davidson today,
just back from the national capitol. 1.-THE
Wisconsin delegates who accompanied me
greatly enjoyed the conference, and all
agreed that the purpose for which the
President called the gathering, the con-
servation of national resources of the
country, is one that will result in great
benefit to the nation. 1t was a most en-
thusiastic conference and could not have
been otherwise with President Roosevelt
as the moving spirit. He appeared to
be master of the whole situation and he
understands the great need of the peo-
pie of the nation and what will be Of
greatest service to coming generations.
"There was no division of sentiment
among the numerous governors and the
delegations from the different states, as
to the needs of such meeting and the
purpose to be subserved.
'"There was absolutely no political sig
nifcance attending to the subjects dis
cussed.
'"The Wisconsin colony at the national
capitol is a big one. | highly appreciated
the reception given myself and the dele
cation which accompanied me, by the
Wisconsin colony, attended by our men,
bers of Congress and others.
Congress was very busy in the throes
of the last of the session, members and
employees, anticipating an early adjourn
ment and return to their homes"

Story About OSHKOSH Man Made Out of
Whole Cloth, Declares SEN
ator Stephenson.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1S.-
Denial is made at the state department
of the report that John Hicks, United
States minister to Chile, has notified the
state department that he is to return to
this country and has resigned. It is said
that Mr.. Hicks has not made any appli-
cation for leave, nor has he given notice
of his intention to return. Neither has
he been instructed to come home for any
purpose, it is declared. One report is
he is being considered for promotion.
Senator Stephenson, when asked what
he knew about Mr.. Hicks reported re-
tirement, said:
''The story is made out of whole cloth
so far as l am concerned. believe it
has started in some gossip that Chase
Osborne of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, re-
lated while he was in Washington early
this week. Osborne was here with a
number of Michigan men and said some
thing about rumor that Hicks. was 60
ing to resign. That's all there is to the

RARE COLORs IN MOLES.
Particular Varieties Confined to Certain
Fields-Piebald and White.

Molecatching first became a regular
occupation about a century ago when
English molecatchers were introduced on
the lands of the then Duke of Buccleuch.
The handsomest varieties belong to
the 'silver gray" class. If these could
be obtained in any quantity their skins
would bring high price in the fur mar
ket.
Mr.. Service of Dumfries, lately lee
turing before the Edinburgh Field Nat,
ualists association, stated that he had
never seen a really white mole, and he
believed it to be a great rarity. nor nor
had he ever seen a piebald variety lie
had little doubt that variation OF color
in moles ran in certain families.
The regularity with which a p!artlC,n-
lar variety occurred repeatedly IN thg
same field or on the same farm was wen
