MUST SERVE SENTENCE
Alleged Confederate of John Dietz Loses
Appeal to State Supreme
Court.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 16.-[Special. ]
The supreme court today decided that
Valentine Weissenbach, alleged confed-
crate of John Dietz, the hero" of Cam
eron dam, must serve the remainder of
a twelve year term in Waupun.
During the spring of 1904, while the
state and federal authorities were max
ing every effort to arrest John Dietz of
Cameron dam on state and federal war
rants, Weissenbach, his nearest neigh
Dor, became mis- confederate in defending
Dietz's home Early in May several
deputy sheriffs were sworn in and sent
to arrest Dietz. They were driving down
the roadway toward Dietz's home and
after passing a hill were halted by a
cry from the brush, "Throw up your
hands," Several shots were fired at the
rig, one piercing the hat of one of the
deputies.
Afterward Weissenbach was arrested
and the deputies swore that he was with
Dietz and fired the shots. Weissenbach
was convicted of attempted murder and
sentenced to Waupun for twelve years.
He appealed on the ground that he was
not with Dietz at the time of the shoot
ing and also pleading erroneous instruc-
tons to the jury, but the decision OF the
lower court was affirmed.

A DENIAL FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY.

From National Food Magazine Chicago.
DR.. Fl. w. Wiley, Chief Chemist of
the Agricultural Department, has de-
manded Of the Calumet Baking Powder
Company, of Chicago, that it cease the
publication of alleged certificates or
statements that he had endorsed the Cal
umet Baking Powder, or reported in ia
vor of it's purity, wholesomeness or SUI
periority. Such statements, he says, are
false.
Dr. Wiley never served upon a COM
mittee of awards, as alleged, nor signed
such a report, or certificate, nor did he
ever iudorse the Calumet Baking Powder
in any way. On the contrary, Dr. Wiley
testified before a Congressional Com=
mittee relative to alum in food, as fol-
lows: ''As 1 have said repeatedly, |
do not use it in my own home, and
would not use alum in bread if [ knew
it. Alum is injurious"
1t seems that DIR. Wiley's demand that
the Calumet Company should cease these
publications, which are, he says,
against the TRUTH" was not complied
with. although he says he has done ali
he could ''to stop the base and inexcus-
able use of his name"
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used to
aid in fOiSting upon consumers a food
compound made from ingredients which
the Doctor has publicly declared to be
injurious.

MUNICIPAL LACE MAKING.

In order to relieve the poverty of its
peasantry the government OF Austria has
gone into the lace business on large
scale AS far back as 1850 it took steps
70 encourage lace making in the rural
districts. and now it has system or
insfruction covering the whole country,
with offices for the sale OF the laces IN
Vienna. London, Paris and New York.
The country has been divided into cir
cults, with headquarters IN the chief
town of each circuit, and from this CEN
fer teachers. who are also business
agents go through every village OF the
circuit These teachers instruct the
women and older girls, supply the ma
terials and designs and buy and pay Tor
the lace. And along with the instruction
in lace making goes hygiene and other
teaching, which is said to have had a
marked effect upon the life OF the peas
ants. When the regular teacher moves
on to the next village an exceptionally
bright pupil is left in charge to direct
tbe work and assist the less gifted work
ers. Supplementary to this system or
travelling schools is a lace making course
in the parochial schools where the chill
1ren begin in their tender years to learn
the beautiful art of lace making. Inc
distribution of the work OF the peasant
lace makers is in the hands OF the I'M
perial Royal Austrian Lace industries.
Through it's foreign offices this organiza-
ton keeps a careful eye on the trend
of fashion. and thus the directors OF the
lace schools are kept constantly in touch
with the market.

TEST NEW SHIP BRAKE.
President Roosevelt Loans the Indiana
to Canadian for Experiment Be-
fore Naval Experts.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Feb. 16.-A COM
pany of Montreal business men has been
formed to exploit ship brake, the in
vention of Louis Lacoste of Montreal,
son of Sir Alexander Lacoste. The in
vention is designed to stop a swiftly
moving vessel within half it's own length.
President Roosevelt has loaned the So
100000 battleship Indiana for the test.
The trials will take place at the mouth
of the Delaware river, March 20, before
a gathering of naval experts. The brake
itself is simply two giant wings fitted be-
low the water line on either side of the
ship. When they are not called into use
the wings are folded on the hull. They
do not in any way impede the vessels
speed.

MUST TURN OVER FEES.
Attorney General Gilbert Rules That
Money Collected for Insurance Elk
aminations Belongs to State.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 16.-[Special.]
Attorney General Gilbert, in reply to
letter from Insurance Commissioner
Beedle, ruled that the insurance commits
soner is required to turn over to the
state all fees in excess Of railroad mile
age, hotel expenses and reasonable com
pensation for work done by examiners
for the department. The attorney gen
eral says in his opinion that where the
work is done by the insurance depart
ment the legal presumption is that the
fees belong to the state and that the
presumption prevails unless there is an
express statute to the contrary. In
cases where examination of companies
is made by an examiner who is not
officially connected with the state in
surance department, Attorney General
Gilbert says that fair compensation is
allowed plus actual expenses. The at
torhey general says that his opinion is
entirely in accordance with the opinion
of former Attorney General Sturdevant
upon which Commissioner Beedle has
relied in retaining fees collected for ex-
aminations made by employees of the
state insurance department.

Making a Seaport.

At a business mems meeting in At
lanta there was under discussion an ar
rangement with the railroads that al
lowed merchandise to be shipped to and
from that inland city on a through bill
of lading. There was much joyous de-
clamation and one orator explained in
enthusiastic periods that Atlanta was
now the equivalent of a seaport town
and able to cope with all rivals. Upon
this a Savannahian, whose native city
Is the real seaport of Georgia, arose
and said with some acerbity: IF you
Atlantans were to lay pipe line to
the sea and then suck as hard as you
blow. you'd be a real seaport in no time
at all"-BeIlman.

The experience of E. Fl. Forbush, orni-
biologist to the state board of agricul-
ture of Massachusetts. shows that it is
possible by judicious provision to at
tract to orchards such a number of ma
tive birds as to control dangerous out
breaks of insects. The adequate protec-
ton of birds throughout our country
should result we believe, in greatly
mitigating the enormous losses inflicted
by insect pests. Economic, if not aes-
thetic considerations, should lead all
truly patriotic citizens to do everything
within their power to provide adequate
protection for our birds-American HUI

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes to the Canadian Government
agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
l have neighbors living there, and
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past twenty years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 30 bushels
Of wheat per acre, 40 to 80 bushels of
oats.
1t was the first week Of May when
| got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in their
crops, so l only got fifteen acres broke
and seeded. They advised me, as it
was late, not to put in much wheat, so
put in five acres wheat and ten acres
oats, one-half acre potatoes and yegeta-
bles. All kinds of vegetables grow
well up there-sweet corn, tomatoes,
onions, carrots, peas, beans, cabbage.
My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per
acre, for which [ got 7G cents, others
got so cents; oats threshed 35 bushels
per acre, for which l got 35 cents per
bushel. You see 1 was three weeks
late getting them in; still I was salts
fed
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high for
SUCH and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give Oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind Of horse that
can pillow, from $3.50 up. l raised sixty
chickens and five pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything a
man raises, so 1 have every reason to
be thankful, besides at the end of three
years | get my patent for homestead.
l heard Of no homestead selling for less
than $4,000, so where under the sun
could an old man or young man do
better?

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.

Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleed
ing, TorturinE HumOr-Hair All
Fell Out-Hoped Death Would End
Fearful Suffering-In Despair
Cured by Cuticura.
'''Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered by whole body. l was al
most a solid mass Of sores from head
to foot. I looked more like a piece Of
raw beef than a human being. The
pain and agony I endured seemed more
than I could bear. Blood and pus
oozed from the great sore on my scalp,
from under my finger nails, and near
ly all over my body. My ears were so
crusted and swollen I was afraid they
would break Off Every hair in my
head fell out I could not sit down,
for my clothes would stick to the raw
and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did
all he could, but I got worse and
worse. My condition was awful. I
did not think could live and wanted
death to come and end my frightful
sufferings.
''In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies l said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief I experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
FIRST real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cutl>
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running
the flesh began to heal, and I knew
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in q
short time I was completely cured. I
wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.
