HIGH PRAISE FOR
BADGER SOLDIERS
MAKE EXCELLENT SHOWING AT
FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON IN
MILITARY MANEUVERS.
GEN. KING GETS CREDIT
Troops Made Up of Seasoned Soldiers,
Many of Whom Have Seen Serv-
ice in War with Spain.
ARMY OFFICERS ARE PLEASED.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 9, 1903.
High praise is given Wisconsin troops
which participated in the maneuvers at
Fort Benjamin Harrison in conjunction
with troops from Ohio, Michigan, In
diana and Illinois.
The New York Evening Post, which
Is regarded as authoritative in military
affairs, prints the following in which
Badger soldiers are gwen credit for their
high degree of training and efficiency:
With Four Other States.
Army officers have given considerable
praise to the officers Of the Third Wis
cOnsin infantry during the recent joint
maneuvers at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Ind Besides Wisconsin,, four states
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois
were represented at the camp. 1t was
said that in point of discipline, order,
promptitude, and general instruction
Wisconsin had the best of the state
troops at the camp. The camp Of the
Third infantry had been laid out with
the utmost accuracy, and was kept trim
and neat. Every call was sounded and
every formation made exactly on time.
One morning, in spite of the cold rain
storm, the regiment was up at 4:3O, had
breakfast at ;, and although no move
ment was perceptible in some of the 9th
ef camps, the regiment fell IN at $50
and marched away in the mud and rain
prepared for a ten-mile tramp and for
maneuvers with the regular army against
the Michigan troops
Nearly All Veterans.
''The Third infantry was we'll on it's
way to Fall Greek, Md, when recalled.
After battle one day, the staff of UNI
pires said that the several problems had
never once been better worked out dur
ing the four weeks camp. The members
Of the regiment had nearly all seen serv-
ice in the south and Porto Rico and
one or two had been in the Philippines.
Since their foreign service the troops
have been kept busy studying and prac-
Using under the guidance of Capt.
Charles King, q. S. A, retired. The
instruction camps of the Wisconsin mill
tia have been brought up to a state
of discipline such as one sees nowhere
else i'll the west except in the regular
army. AS a consequence the regiment
fell easily into every requirement under
the orders of the army officers. During
the maneuvers in Kentucky several
years ago the First regiment Of Wiscon-
sin was the one regiment picked out for
special mention by the officer sent out
from New York"

Especial 1.-The above is a likeness Of
Rudolph Donnerstag, the oldest of the
trio of alleged counterfeiters who es
capped from the Dane county Jail last
week. Rudolph lies at st. Mary's hos
pital with bullet wounds in both legs.
He was shot by a deputy appointed by
United States Marshal John Kelley of
Menomonie, Wis, while trying to escape
through the woods near Manson lake,
eight miles west of this city. Word had
been received by the marshal from a
trapper named Jones that Rudolph IN
tended to leave the country and had
decided to board $500" line train west.
The officer endeavored to see him and
talk to him but could not 1t was while
searching the woods near the old Don
nerstag home that the shooting occurred.
Marshall Kelley's deputy sighted Don
nerstag and ordered him to halt No
attention was paid to the command and
the officer fired, the bullet of the soft
nosed variety tearing through the feshy
part of one leg and SCATTERING the bone
of the other. The marshal heard the
shot and finally located the man who
was groaning in agony When Bonner
stag saw the officer he begged him to
kill him, asking him at least a dozen
times to shoot him through the head.
Hugo and Albert Donnerstag have been
taken to Madison. but owing to the ma
ture of Rudolph's wounds he will not be
able to be moved for five or six weeks.
Another lot of dies and molds for coun-
terfeiting have been discovered by Mar
shall Kelley and will be taken with him
to Madison.
His left leg was amputated Friday, the
operation being necessary to save the
prisoners life. A dumdum bullet had
passed through the fleshy part of the
right leg and shattered the bone of the
left.

just how worry does KILL 1t Is be-
lieyed by many scientists who have
followed most carefully the growth Of
the science Of brain diseases that
scores Of the deaths set down to other
causes are due to worry and that alone
The theory Is simple one-so SIM
pie that any one can readily under
stand it. Briefly put, it amounts to
this: Worry Injuries beyond repair GER
tain cells Of the brain, and the brain,
being the nutritive center Of the body,
the other organs become gradually In
jured, and when some disease Of these
organs, or combination Of them,
arises, death finally ensues. Thus
does worry kill.
Insidiously, like many other diseases,
it creeps upon the brain in the form
Of single, constant, never-lost idea;
and, as dropping of water over per-
iod Of years will wear groove in g.
stone, so does worry gradually, imper-
ceptibly, but no less surely, destroy the
brain cells that lead all the rest; that
are, so to speak. the commanding Off
GERS OF mental power, health and mo-
ton.
Worry, to make the theory STILL
stronger, Is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm If
1t comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worry the brain can cope
with, but the iteration and reiteration
Of one idea Of a disquieting sort the
cells Of the brain are not proof against.
It Is as If the skull were laid bare
and the surface Of the) brain struck
lightly with hammer every few Sec
onds with mechanical precision, with
never sign of a let-up or the failure

Just In this way does the annoying
Idea, the maddening thought that will
not be done away with, strike or fall

tality Of these delicate organisms, SO

Although some of the salacious fea,
lures which were looked for at the trial
Of Mrs. Anna N. Bradley for the muir
der Of Senator Arthur M. Brown were
eliminated by direction Of the court,
there was enough of the sensational
connected Herewith to hold the atten-
ton not only of Washington but OF the
entire country. The prominence or the
man and the attractiveness Of the Wom-
an, together with the manner OF the
shooting. invested the case with IN
usual interest
Arthur M. Brown, leading citizen OF
Salt Lake City, man Of great wealth
and for brief time United States Sen
ator by appointment Of the Governor,
was a close friend to Mrs. Anna N.
Bradley. This was some years ago
when the frail-looking defendant was
robust of form and beautiful Of face.
For Browns sake she deserted her hus-
band, and although he would not heed
her pleas to marry her, she chung to
him. About year ago Brown went
from Utah to Washington. Mrs. Brad
lev heard that he was going to marry
Mrs. Anna @. Adams, mother Of Maud
Adams, the great actress, and she fol-
lowed him. At his room In a Washing
ton hotel they had loud talk, the re-
suit Of which was that she was said
to have shot him and he died FIVE days
later. He refused to say anything
concerning the tragedy. Mrs. Bradley
it Is said, never denied the shooting,
pleading temporary insanity. Mrs.
Adams has declared that there was no
foundation for the report that she was
to have married Brown.
When the case came up for trial In
Washington Mrs. Bradley's story upon
tho stand was that Brown won her
love by protestations of undying affec-
tion and promise of marriage; that he
urged her to get. a divorce and Induced
her to get her trousseau.
The chief counsel for Mrs. Bradley
was Orlando w. Powers, native OF
New York, who went to Utah to live
and Is the leader Of the Gentle party
there. He was made associate Justice
OF the Supreme Court of Utah by Pres
ident Cleveland. He has sat in the
State Legislature and has been an I'M
successful candidate for Congress.
Once he declined United States Sen
atorship for an unexpired term.
The Jury brought in verdict that
she was not guilty of the alleged muir
der of former Senator Brown. The
plea of temporary insanity at the time
the killing took place won after an all
afternoon and night deadlock OF the
| Jury.
