upon the revision of the tariff, which
he singled out as the most important
declaration made at the last national
convention, and said:
Better no revision at all, better that
the new bill should fail, unless we
have an honest and thorough revision
on the basis laid down and the prin.
ciple outlined in the party platform. !"

Sherman antitrust law and declared
for It's enforcement as one of the
Roosevelt policies that the party had
pledged itself to carry forward.

TWENTY SAVED FROM DEATH
Lifesavers Swim TO Shore With Women
in Their Arms-LaunCh
Swamped in Storm.

Kenosha, Wis, July 20. - Twenty
passengers, six of them women, were
taken off the launch JObberwock, a
little pleasure craft plying out Of this
harbor, by the Kenosha lifesaving
crew just before midnight last night.
The boat became disabled two miles
from port. Then a storm came up
and the waves began to beat over the
decks. 1t was at this time that the
peril of the craft was discovered by
the lifesavers.
1t was impossible to tow the launch
in and the passengers were huddled
into a small lifebOat and an attempt
was made to beach the lifeboat just
north of the city. This was found i'm
possible, and as last resort the men,
bers Of the crew took the women in
their arms and swan to the beach.
The men were taken off in the same
way
All the members of the party were
drenched, and several Of the women
became hysterical while being carried
through the surf.
Later the launch was toWed into the

STATE INSTITUTIONS GROW.
Reports for Fiscal Year Show In
crease in Number of Inmates.

crease in Number of Inmates.
During the last year there has been
a slight increase in all the state in
situations, according to the fiscal year
reports, which are now being filed
with the state board of control. The
population of the state prison at Wau-
pun is probably the only exception to
this rule, the number there remain
ing practically the same. This does
not indicate that fewer people have
been sent to the institution on &C
count of a decrease of crime in the
state, but is the direct result Of the
operation of the parole law in Wis
cOnsin. There has been a large in
crease in the Northern insane hospi-
tai at Oshkosh.
One new institution was started
during the year, the sanatorium at
Wales for the treatment of tubercu-
lous patients. 1t has fifty-three pa
tients.
The following shows the population
of each of the state institutions at the
close of the fiscal year, June 30:
State hospital, Mendoza, 613:
Northern insane hospital, Oshkosh,
$40; school for deaf, Delavan, POP;
school for blind, GAINESVILLE, IS; indus
trial school, Waukesha, 351; state
prison, Waupun, CAT; state public
school, Sparta, ia; home for feeble
minded, Chippewa Falls, 1854; refor-
matory, Green Bay, POI; tuberculosis
sanatorium, Wales, 3d..
The home for the feeble minded
has the largest population of any in
stltutiOn in the state and in all proba-
bility the next session of the Iegisla-
ture will be asked to build more cot
tages. There is also some talk of a
hospital for criminal insane. These
patients, about forty in number, are
now kept at the Northern insane hos
pltal, but there is a general senti-
ment that the people and relatives of
these unfOrtunates would be more
satisfied if the insane and criminal
insane were in separate institutions.
The board of control is now gather
ing data on the number of insane.
ep1leptlc, blind and feeble minded in
the state. Reports from the different
county institutions are being received
and also reports are being gathered
IN the different towns Of the number
OF unfOrtunates that are cared for
either privately or in private institu-
tons.
The gathering of this will be the
most thorough examination made in
the last thirty years in the United
States in all probability, and in many
instances the examination will follow
one made in Massachusetts over a
score OF years ago. The matter will
be laid before the next session of the
legislature, and it is believed will
be the basis for action On the build
ing of additions to some of the state
institutions and remedial measures to
decrease the number of these unfor
Inmates, if possible-W.

GOES AFTER FORTUNE.
AIphonse La Rose, Chippewa Falls, to
Receive Part of 100000.

Alphonse La Rose of Chippewa
Falls has left for Ontario, Canada, to
look after the $2O00,OOO fortune just
left the La Rose brothers in Chippewa
Falls by Fred La Rose, their uncle.
Fred La Rose was a blacksmith with
a railroad crew that was laying new
line through the Cobalt silver district
of Canada, the site of the rich Nipis-
sing mine. The railroad had cut
through piece of rough country and
had encountered some heavy rock.
La Rose picked up very heavy piece
of the supposed rock, and placing it
on his anvil began hammering it. To
his surprise it fiattened out like a
piece of metal. 1t proved to be almost
pure silver La Rose, knowing where
the rock came from, located a claim
and soon had established the fact that
he had found a bonanza. He sold two
thirds of the mine for $35, 900, but for
tunately retained one-third and his
property at the time of his death was
valued at $7,500,000.
