RESIST WALSH APPEAL
GOVERNMENT FILES ANSWER TO
BANKERS PETITION.
Declare No Inconsistency Can Be Shown
in Jury's Verdict Finding Chi
cago Man Guilty.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 1S.-District At
orney Edwin w. Sims today filed the
answer of the government to the petition
If John R. Walsh, convicted of misap-
plying the funds of the Chicago Nation
IL bank. for rehearing of his appeal
% the federal circuit court of appeals.
In the answer the government attor-
ley says that the only new points raised
oy the defendant in the petition, which
vas filed some days ago, are the multi
1licity of the counts of the Indictment
md the allegation that the verdict was
Inconsistent.
To the objection the answer replies
hat as a general rule the joining of a
arge number of counts in an Indictment
operates to the advantage of the defend
mt by enabling him to dispose of all
he charges at one trial, and further
more that no objection to the multiple
ty of counts was raised at the trial.
The petition for rehearing urged that
he verdict was inconsistent because the
Jury found the defendant guilty on sep
arate counts relating to the same trans
action but In which the allegations were
contradictory, so that if he were guilty
ii the facts charged in one count he
could not have been guilty as charged
n another To this the government re-
plies that the verdict is in effect gen
aral verdict in which all of the counts
are included; that the inconsistency if
any exists in the verdict is upon inmate
rial points, and lastly that there is no
real substantial difference between the
counts.
Should the petition for a rehearing be
denied by the court of appeals the only
avenue for a reversal will be an appIi-
cation to the federal supreme court for
writ of certiorari

Newspaper Attacks and Beats Ed
itor Until Stopped by Police.

MANITOWOC, Wis, Nov. 16-[Spe-
ciaL l-Newspaper attacks which have
been made against him and which he
resented, resulted in Robert Hampton,
alderman. administering a beating to
Henry Bruins, editor of The Daily Trib-
une, Socialist newspaper.
Hampton slapped Bruins in the face
and following a clinch of the two, a POI
lice officer was called by the mayor to
separate them.
Hampton, who is a prominent politi-
clan. bolted his party ticket last fall
when he was defeated for the nominal
ton of sheriff and since that time he
has been the victim of more or less no.
toriety in the papers.
Hampton served formal notice on the
editors of two papers last night and
said that he would take the law in his
own hands if these attacks did not cease.
The incident was the most sensational
which has ever characterized council
chamber sessions.

PEWTER STOVE LIDS
MAKE EDITOR MOURN.
During Pioneer Moving the Heirloons Of
Colonial Days Are Used to Re-
place Lost Covers.

NEW LONDON, Wis, Nov. IL
Especial. Because a relative utilized
precious pewter plates as stove lids,
Publisher G. +. Carr of the New Lon
don Press is minus a goodly portion Of
what he regards a most valuable and
interesting collection of heirlooms in the
shape of pewter tableware handed down
in his family from Gov Wnlcott, first
colonial executive of Connecticut.
Only the teapot, sugar bowl and pitch
er remain of the once complete set. Mr..
Cars paternal grandmother was a VOL
colt. While the pewter ware was in the
possession of another member of the
family, the lids of a cooking range were
lost while moving from one locality to
another during the pioneer days.
Stove lids were not to be procured ex-
cept at a distance, so the pewter dishes
were utilized. At that time they were
regarded as of little value, but Mr. Carr
mourns their destruction greatly, for the
pewter plates did not long survive the
strenuous existence as substitutes for
stove lids.

BREAD SHOULD BE COVERED.
BakezhsIs Beginning to Protect Loaves
az Soon as Baked

Und01btedly the time will come when
all hake-hops will wrap each loaf of
bread rs soon as it is removed from the
oven. Says the Bakers Weekly. This sub
5ecf has been agitated in Washington,
but hss met with some opposition from
those who thought that the wrapping
would impair the palatability and digest
FILTHY Of the bread.
To answer this argument the health
department experimental with various
kinds Of papers and discovered that the
effect Of che protective covering was to
preserve the freshness of the bread,
which Vas even superior after twenty
four hours The labels which are now
often affixed directly on the loaves could
tie used to seal the wrappings.
Some Of the bakers argue that this is
not practical for the bakery that turns
out many hundreds of loaves daily, but
accounts OF come Of the larger bakeries
end restaurants In the east show that
they have already adopted this method Of
wrapping each loaf in paraff1n paper as
soori as the bread is removed from the
oven Some bakeries now wrap the
gluten bread, which is sold largely to
the hospitals, but at higher price than
the ordinary bread and not made In such
enorDous Quantities.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. III Special !
In the arrest at GAINESVILLE of A. E.
Graham, J. H. Davis, alias Thomas E..
Lees, and Edward Klimes, the federal
authorities have trio whom they be-
lieve are implicated in the alleged fake
Dane county Jail awaiting trial on a
charge of using the mails to defraud.

Milwaukee. They were released on
bonds. Lees is said to be simply another
name for j. d. Davis, who spent some
time in hospital in Milwaukee, where
he was undergoing treatment for his
eyes.
1t is thought that Lees is the leader of
the oleo graft game, and if they can con-
vict him on a charge of violating the pure
food laws, they may also be able to get
him for using the mails to defraud.

$1,000 FOR A LEAF.
An Australian Pays That Sum for a Bit
of Spineless Cactus


Wizard Burbank says that though
soBe dishonest dealers both in this coun-
try and IN Europe have been Offering
specimens Of the so-called Burbank
spineIess cactus for two years the first
genuine specimens were put on the mar
ket only last summer.
He has been experimenting with the
production Of a spineless opuntSa, or
prickIy pear, for twelve years. Speci-
mems were sent to him from all over the
world and thousands of seedlings were
raised every years, but most of them
Were grabbed up as unavailing.
The original successful plant has
grown IN three years to a height OF 6
feet and Is over 6 feet in diameter The
thornfess varieties cannot be raised from
seed, but are propagated only from cut
tings, which must be first wilted in the
SUN for a week or two before they will
grow after that" says Mr.. Burbank
en- the Phile delphia Record, they will
root anywhere any end up-even in your
0vercoat pocket or on the floor back of
the stove"
A single leaf of the best variety of the
thornless cactus, the Santa Rosa, was
sold for $1,000 to John M. Rutland of
Melbourne. Australia, with the right to
sell In the southern hemisphere, and one
leaf Of another variety was disposed of
TO the same Australian horticulturist for
$500
The foliage proposition" continued
Mr. Burbank, sis by NO means all there
Is 20 cactus culture. The fruits have
wonderful possibilities. Many of my
helpers prefer pear to appricots or
peaches and | myself find it delicious
There is great variety in the taste Of the
different sorts, and my ambition now is
10 produce a type that will bear distinct
varieties OF cactus fruit, the same as
different varieties of apples are char
actefized by different favors."

ARE TALL MEN STUPID?
GeUiuses of the World Have All Been Of
Medium Size

Dr. l. Potter, an eminent German ply
stefan, has been making some interesting
observations regarding the stature of in
dividuals and the relation that exists be-
tween height and talent and genius. The
doctor finds that not only persons with
considerable talent but the geniuses of
the world have all been of medium size
or less. Says the Boston Post:
Among statesmen he points out Attila,
Cromwell, Frederick IL, Napoleon, Gam
BETA, Thiers-all of whom were of very
small stature. Jesus Christ, too, the doc
tor says, according to the Talmud was
built in small proportions; so was Paul.
Among the great artists the short men
We're Raphael, Michael Angelo, Titan,
Leonardo da Vinci and Mcneil; among
the musicians, Richard Wagner, Handel,
Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schu-
mann, Schubert, Brahms. Nearly oil the
poets were of small stature, particularly
Dante, Victor Hugo and Heine. SO were
Ceryantes and Rosseau.

COST OF AN EDUCATION.
Public Schools of the Country Spend an
Average of S2S.25 Pupil.

The average yearly expenditure a pu-
Pill in the public schools OF this country
is given as S2S.25 in the recently pub
lished report of the commissioner of ed
ucation. In 1870 it was only 1885.
Nevada has the highest yearly expen-
diture. S72.15 a pupil, followed by New
York with $3.50. Montana with $40. 40,
and California with 5000. In the south
the expenditures a pupil range from

West Virginia. The new state of Ok
lahoma spends S15.79, New Mexico
Sl9.46, while Arizona with S40.41 spends
S5.16 pupil year more than Okla
homa and New Mexico combined.
One-third of the states spend from $50
to $40 pupil. The fact that one fourth
